error accessing image when using ER2003Edit

firstly, i am trying to flash the rom following the guide from romkitchen.
after using dos command, i want to double check whether i set the operator correctly.
so i use er 2003 edit for fast checking
NK.nbf and radio.nbf have no problem
except that when i open MS_.nbf, with the correct password type in, it just prompt me
error access image.
i checked the setting is correct.
I want to confirm whether this error is normal
please advice
thanks

download he patched ER2003Edit from the thread mentioned in WIKI.
The original had this problem if you have file type = auto detect in the file open dialog. Choose Extended Rom and it will work.

dont use the romkitchen to get roms for xda2 devices it's ONLY xda1 roms which can be made in the romkitchens

if i dont follow romkitchens, then who can give me a brief explanation or can say easy way to upgrade from XDA 2 to WM2003SE
I used to upgrade my ROM before, but due to people giving a lot of ways to do it, i am getting confuse.
need someone to compile the overall documentation
what i did last time
1. unlock all files and change the operator name to O2
2. put or remove cab files into my extROM, including editing the config.txt
3. flash it
after reading so much, i am still thinking with the genuine WM2003SE, do i need to edit a lot?
i believe i need to change the operator name to O2.
as i am from Asian, i also believe i need to put in Asian Cab, so that my phone, will display local telco.
also when u say genuine WM2003SE, does it means is standard package ?
thanks for advice again

@Rudegar : I hope/think he means following the instructions in the WIKI HimalayaRomkitchen. which is maybe a confusing name, but a good starting point to learn about upgrading (At least that is my humble opinion)

the reason why you are getting this message is becaz after you click on file open rom image window pops up over there at the ottom thers an option giving different file names make sure you have WM2003 Extended ROM (ms_.nbf) selected there to open ms_.nbf or accordingly.

jeetz

yeah thanks, i got it done
appreciated.

How install XML files?

I can't install xml files
Please tell me? how i can do that

You cannot install xml files Think about it - its just a text inside...
edit: XML stands for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML

it's related to html as internet pages it's not a bin file which one can install

XML file is an input to another program and that would read the content and install whatever needs to be.

i have the same problem!!
The XML format files opend by document as defult, I cant install any XML format files.
Also in pocket PC the explorer is the defult to open XML files.

ad2master: Are you dumb, or just cannot read? Everything is explained above. I would just add, that XML is TXT, or INI file. It's just text prepared for a program to read.
When you got such a file from and what makes you think, that you can install it?

i think he's meaning is to load info in OMA xml foramat files that wince supports
like registery info ,network setting info,or file operation info etc.

We don't know it. Anyway for future reference: If you have problems with "XML file installation" provide us with example, we will be able to check what it contains.

Good news and Bad
BAD news = (jakubd) is a jack *EDITED*.
GOOD news = I have a fix.
WARNING = using this fix may make you kick yourself. I did.
PROBLEM = When you open the compressed file you see the content, some files and the important SETUP.XML Like years of Windows use has taught us, the SETUP file is the only one we need. It's like magic, we click and the preprogrammed file will do the rest. BUT all you get is TEXT. Thats crap.
CAUSE = You have WinRAR installed on your desktop PC, Don't you??
See WinRAR is telling your desktop computer that your .CAB file is a compressed .RAR file. It is but we will not get in to that. Confusion sucks.
FIX = You don't have to do step 1. but I recommend you do.
1. (on your desktop computer) go to START and to ALL PROGRAMS and open WinRAR. That was easy. Now click on OPTIONS and go down to click on SETTINGS (or just hit (CTRL + S) Click on tab INTEGRATION. On the left UNCHECK the BOX marked CAB. Say my name over and over while dancing on one foot.
2. Take the file you are installing (STILL COMPRESSED) and put it on your device. Use your FILE EXPLORER in your device to EXECUTE the still compressed .CAB (note: if you did not do step 1 the file will LOOK like a .RAR on your PC but a .CAB on your Phone/Device.)
SHORT ANSWER = do NOT uncompress the file on your Desktop PC. Just take the file just as it was when you downloaded it and put it on your Phone/Device. Use your Phone/Device file explorer to locate the file and execute it.
NOW = Kick your own *EDITED*

So going back to the very begining - you never ever install XMLs. Good explanation DJ_SirG - I would never guess that anybody at any occasion would try to decompress a CAB.
But as usual I'm asking myself - how many times people will as on forums "how to install xml file"... At least I have a place to point them to. Thanks!

DJ_SirG
Thank You very much for helping, problems solved now.

I am just asking for help, you can help others if you want, or just keep your self away with your huge experience.

ad2master: I'm doing my best to help, but if somebody asks you "how to do X" and the person receives answer "you don't because it makes no sense" and then another one asks the same thing multiple times in multiple places instead of thinking for a while you can get irritated. Also when people ask hundreds of times the same question (like where is reset button) that are clearly explained in Wiki or were answered many times here, you can also get irritated and more over - they get irritated when you point the to the wiki or suggest HR.
And of course sometimes you can miss the point (like here) because of lack of information from the other side. I would never guessed that smb could first decompress a CAB file to install it and you need to know this part to understand the whole story with "xml" installation problem. It's like a person calling Ford support and asking "my car doesn't go" just to find out, that it run out of gas - it's so obvious, that you need fuel, they you don;t even take it into account. Same with CAB - it's so dead obvious to me that you don't decompress it before installation, that I would never take it into account.
So if you want precise and effective answer, check the wiki, search, use google, if nothing comes out and you think your are the first in the world with this specific problem: ask. But because you think you are so special, please try to be specific: give all the details that might be needed. answer all the questions that might help other people solve your problem. There is always somebody that might be able/want to help you, but you also have to help him.

I think The miss communication is when we would click on the .cab file to download it once it showed up on our desktop, it was a .rar. Like the file name was changed. So if you download XDA.CAB once the file was on your desktop it said XDA.RAR. So you click on it to find your .CAB file just to find .XML and let the confusion began.... Thanks for your help guy's and I hope this helps you. If it do, reply back with a quick word so we know the post is getting used and not deleted...

I Must say to all you.."A-Holes" That Spitted on us for asking stupid questions like that you guys bashing us this guy actually knew what we were talking about and helped us why you guy stood back and did nothing Grats buddy you answered my question. and it just goes to show not everyone knows everything about computers.

The only reason I found this fix was because I ran out of hair to pull out.

We are not all rocket scientists
I too had no idea how to install a .cab file with a setup xml file. Once the one gentlemen said to install the file with the file explorer it literally took as long as it took to open that file. I am really disappointed that I had a question and in order to get it answered I have to go through the abuse of being called names and being cursed at. I get enough of that at home. If you are going to run a web site that is a computer forum, you can safely assume that most of us do not have your knowledge; otherwise, we would have the web site. Nonetheless, thank you for your web site. My program is now installed. Merry Christmas, Lindy Wise

THANKYOU thankyou thankyou

A sincere thank you...

Thank you... and may your hair grow back Fast & Furious ...

I have read all the previous messages but cannot get the answer im looking for. I have a folder which contains text files and a xml file. I do not see any setup file for me to click on.

but as all the previous posters, you probably didn't download a folder, but an archive and you extracted it to see the folder and its contents. that was the mistake. the .cab file appears like an archive on the pc, but is the extractable setup for the phone. try it again by extracting nothing and copy the file to the phone and start it there.

are you meaning when the phone boots? You might be able to do that with mortscripts, check the threads out, and use the search link below!

The easiest way would be to just drop the shortcut in Windows>startup.

Thanks for all
i have downloaded mortscript, when i will have time i will try, and if i will have a success i will inform you
See you soon

It would be much easier to copy the file or program you want, and then go into Windows then StartUp, and then "Paste Shortcut" it, and restart.
After that, you'll notice that the application will be running in the background.

I have a WM6 italian, and when i copy the program ( not the shortcut, because i can't create a shortcut) in " esecuzione automatica", it is the same of startup folder, the program start but stay on display!
Another way?
Thanks

I'm arrive to minimize at start up the program "Call firewall", with a little script using mortscript. Thanks

what about programs that don't auto-minimize? for instance, Gentimer 2.x starts up on boot due to me putting the *.lnk to it in the startup folder. However, it boots and runs, yes, but it doesn't automatically minimize to background, and I have to manually press end to get it down. How to do this with those "special" programs?

[REQ] Wake On Lan

Hi Guys & Gals,
Quick question.....
Has anybody come across a Wake On Lan app for WM6. I have a small home network that I start up from a central PC using Wake On LAN function in the system BIOS. I would like to be able to start my PC's from the Blackstone over my WLAN.
Everything within the LAN & WLAN is running reserved DHCP from the router side so all IP's are constant including the Blackstone.
Cheers for any replies.........
Gilgamesh.......

I don't know if any solution exists but I've read a tutorial (in french sorry) on how to make a wake on line application for wm
http://blogs.msdn.com/pierreca/archive/2009/03/19/wake-on-lan-depuis-votre-t-l-phone.aspx
Hope that could help you

Try this..

jpl69 cheers.........The app works like a charm but is a little basic. Needs the full MAC to be entered manually each time.
What would be really nice is some way of associating the MAC to a short meaningful name that could then be listed so it could just be selected from a list rather than enter the full MAC each time. In this way multiple PC's coud be listed.
While we're at it would also be nice to have a standby button as well so PC's within the LAN could be started and shut down form the app.
I've never written an app before and would either like a few pointers to see if I could do it or see if anyone out there would consider building on the app already posted.
Any suggestion welcome.......

Besides developing an app to that (no time) i could sugest make several shortcuts using resco and parsing the mac as parameter. At least you only had to make it once.

Thanks jpl69 for your continued replies...much appreciated.
I have seen Resco but not realy sure which component to download to edit the exe. I have used PEG (parsing) in other apps at work but just need something to get me started on WM6. I could the replicate the exe per MAC and create a single file or each PC

Might be worth looking at vxUtil: http://www.cambridgevx.com.
This has Wake-On-LAN (among other things), and I think it remembers previously entered values. You can't give things memorable names but it might help.

i think he means, like, create new shortcut with parameters. Just for example the same as on pc creating a shortcut to c:\quake\quake.exe and use the string "c:\quake\quake.exe" +bind mouse1 shoot +set mode opengl blablabla

Again thanks for the continued replies.....
Downloaded vxUtil and had a play and it does have a working WOL option but again it's messy and not really the simple solution I was looking for. It does have some other features (ping/sweep, tracert & DNS lookup) but I don't really have a use for these.
Still really after a single icon to start each PC as per the shortcut suggestion above.
All suggestions still welcome and appreciated.

I will just try to clarify what was the idea of jpl69.
Please read the README file included in the attached archive (posted by jpl69).
It says:
"Command Line:
===============
Please use as following:
WakeOnLan.exe [MACAddress]
MacAddress can be either 01E4523AEE22 or 01:E4:52:3A:EE:22 "
Now with Resco Explorer (or with Total Commander, which is freeware) one can make several different shortcuts to WakeOnLan.exe, each ending with the specific MAC.
In Total Commander, after creating the shortcut, one must select it, choose "properties", then "shortcut" tab, then manually add the MAC at the end of the "target" line.
Copy the ready shortcut several times, name the new copies whatever you want and place those shortcuts in a folder. Dont forget to change the MAC for each machine.
Hope it helps.

Now I get it......Sorry for the slow uptake but been a busy boy and head has been fried by other things. Will have a play tomorrow and post back results.
Many thanks..........

I dont know if you still looking to do this but I got this working & figured I would reply here for future reference.
First i have a linksys DD-WRT router, so I followed these steps:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL
Then I downloaded the attached cab & its one click & works great!

I have been using the WakeOnPocketPC from Depicus happilly with WM 6.1. Now, after upgrade to WM 6.5 (Dutty ROM Leo Holy Grail), the cab fails to install ("...installation was unsuccessful.")
Any other program with capability to send WOL packets to a particular IP address (and not just broadcast over LAN)?

Although this thread is about one year old, before I developed my WoL everywhere program, I searched for programs like mine here and came to this thread... None of the programs I've found fit my requirements, so I made a program myself...
So I hope your search is over and you've found what you need with my little WoL everywhere... you can download it here:

Create a shortcut to WakeOnLan with a MAC address
Hi,
I'm pasting to this old thread since I found the WakeOnLan tool here and want to share my tips with others.
If you want to create a shortcut so that you have a separate executable (say in your Start Menu) then follow these steps:
Install WakeOnLan from the above link. I put it in "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
Browse to this location with explorer on your PPC. Select the WakeOnLan executable and click "copy"
Browse to where you want the shortcut to appear:
"\Windows\Start Menu" will show in your start menu
"\Windows\Startup" will be run when you reset or power cycle the device
"\Windows\Programs" will apear in your Start Menu > Programs folder
"\Windows\Settings" will appear in your system settings
Select on some empty space (not an existing file) in your chosen folder and choose "Paste shortcut"
Use a text editor on Windows / Linux to edit this new file, or one on your device (I didn't have any that would open on my device so I copied it to Linux, edited in emacs, then copied it back)
Edit the line that looks like:
Code:
40#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
essentially this is a character count, a "#", the location the shortcut points to, and arguments. Add your MAC address like this and take note of the quotes:
Code:
58#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe" AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
count the characters of the shortcut, mac address, and space, then add one. This is your new number (in my case, 58).
An easy way to do this is to use "wc" on Linux:
Code:
echo "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" | wc -c
57
(remember to add 1!)
Now you can repeat the process and paste as many different WoL shortcuts as you like! I've made just one and called it "WoL MythTv" to wake up my media centre at home. Neat
I'll post my sources in the next post since new users aren't allowed to post links...

Owner's info

Why can't we insert the owner's info in the newest roms (23025-23028)?
Remind that some software can´t be registered without that info...

I don't have one of these versions flashed right now, but check your registry under :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner

One other thing you could do is start Notepad on you desktop computer and put the following in there (this works on 6.1, and "hopefully" might work on 6.5 but I can't verify it as never tried)
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
Save the file, rename it to have a .lnk extension to the end of it (i.e. myfile.txt now becomes myfile.lnk). Copy this to your device (c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs) and try and open it off your Start menu. I would recommend if it's something you'll use often (as a workround) because the Owner Icon under Settings, Personal is gone (which is bizarre!) use Restart (credit to Showaco) to give it a better icon (search for Restart in forums).
You can do it the registry way but a couple of the fields might give you a problem as they're binary fields although it might be fine!
I did a search and found a thread on it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1646851#post1646851
