Major problem with new I-Mate ROM. Looking for ideas.

Hi everyone.
I just installed the new rom off of the i-mate ftp, installed it and have run across a major issue. When I try to install some of my basic programs like Agile Messenger or even Total Commander I get a message back saying: "The installation of <filename>.CAB was not successful." Nothing more then that. To get around this I tried installing the default_signed_disablesecurity.cab, but that will not install either. I'm stumped. Anyone here know what the problem is? Oh, i am installing these programs straight from .cab files, not through activesync.

I had a similar problem on previous upgrades when installing to SD card, when the same program was already present. Had to resolve by deleting from the card first.
Could be related.

Nope, just trying to install straight to the device. Don't have an SD card in anyway. I originally tried to install these files from my ext rom, then just from copying the cabs to 'my documents' and running them from there.
The only file I have in my ext rom that I added in that will install is the extrom_unlocker.cab.
*shrug*

try a hard reset (reset + fn1 + fn2) and reset before it start installing the extended rom customization. See if it solves the problem

Are you using SPB Pocket plus software??
If so, un-install it and then install the applications wich you need to install first and then install SPB Pocket Plus at the end.

Just conncet your device to the computer, and re-flash the rom to the device, don't mind if the computer does not recognize the device, just reflash.... I hope it will work.

You're not understanding me. There's nothing to "uninstall." I can't install anything so far. I have everything in .cab format so i could theoretically dump it into my extrom for automatic install. It seems like there's a new security/registry entry that's killing my ability to install unsigned cab files.

Hi everyone.
Sorry for the missunderstanding, I would suggest for you to reflash the ROM again to your device as the installed ROM might be corrupted.
I would suggest also that after reflashing the rom again to your device you should un-install the anti-virus program if you don't need it.

You really need to look harder or just try and experiment...
Now that I've fired off the mandatory chastisement, let me try to be somewhat helpful....
When your phone is connected to your Desktop, Right click on your active sync icon in your Desktop Windows taskbar. Select "Explore". You'll get a windows explorer. You can just drag and drop the CAB file from your Windows Desktop to that folder, and viola! a Cab file is now on your PPC.
From there, explore to that same directory from your PPC using File Explorer (if you haven't figured out how to get CABs installed on your PPC yet, you probably aren't using Resco Explorer yet, either ). From the the PPC explorer, just click the CAB file and it'll install.
I hope that helps.

Ah see, mine is having issues as I am on Vista Ultimate... and well it isnt Ultimate with syncing, Guess if I use the XP comp I may have seen this with no issue.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THOUGH! That was a big help!

obcviously your new to ppc's, Welcome to xda-devs and a world of a love and hate relationship!
just keep in mind .cab's install within the ppc and .exe's usually install with activesync while your device is connected to your pc. If you have a .exe give you a Win32 error, that means it runs on the ppc as well.

You could also send the CAB file using bluetooth OR by e-mail. Then simply receive the mail on your ppc, detach the attachment (the CAB file) and proceed from there.
By the way: after you install the CAB, you can delete it from you ppc, to save space.
Oh, and should this thread not be in the general forum in stead of WM6?

WINRAR.... is installed on my machine and cab's were viewed as RAR's (I figured everyone rar'd or zipped em, so I was unpacking them and trying to install that way of the setup.xml But I put one unpacked on the PPC and it looks like an executable so I confirmed and then installed, I am no tracking... MicroSD card... Nokia carries mainly Mini's I have 3 minisd's with only a little need for any of the three...
CANT DELETE (tried top thread normal BB Code spot in advance, admin or mod if you see this please delete I figured it out with help from the fine board members you have.)

There is a tutorial around here somewhere that someone created to explain how to get AS working or at least to change the drivers for the tool that Vista uses to the AS drivers so that you can sync in Vista.
I haven't read it myself as I am still using XP Pro and haven't needed to, but have heard several people say that it solved their Vista nightmares as far as their Hermes devices go.

The technique is described in my guide HERE give it a go, however if it doesnt work this technique is the same as described elsewhere in the forum and as such you should try to get access to an XP machine until vista is conquered.
Ive had many PMs saying it works fine so it is definatly worth a shot

In Vista, the process of copying a cab or other file from the PC to the WM device is even easier. Vista has default USB drivers that show the WM device in Vista File Explorer and you can drag and drop items from one system to the other when they are connected over USB.
If you connect a WM device and then run Windows Update, the Vista Mobile Device Center update will automatically download and you will have all the features of ActiveSync automatically.
The procedures described by Mr Vanx are of course if you want to use your Vista PC to upgrade the ROMs on your WM device and other such advanced technical things that you should avoid until you've gained some experience!
Hope this helps.

If you having problems with Vista you could install the cab file onto your memory card if you have a card reader, and then run it from your device by tapping on it. I can vouch for the Vista fix that mrvanx pointed out as I have used it myself, it is all clearly described with full screenshots and I think you should give it go, just follow each step and do exactly as it says!

out of memory using internet

I have dash s620 with 2gb mini sd card and v23 from ricky, the other day i was using internet explorer and went to website, all ok but in short time the phone tell me that cant open site because dont have memory for that, when i tried use free memory program the phone had only 1 mb and only release a little, there are some way for fix that or to use memory card for tmp internet file??
thanks

Um... I can check it out and see what I can do about it and I will get back to you asap.

There is a cab called Mailstorage that will save internet temp,history,and cookies and save emails to storage card. I found it on txcaesar.net in the downloads section.

Oh yah that would work...

Thanks for yours helps, i will check

Na what is this application anyways, give it a try and see if it works. Did you have some specific questions on it or what?

I downloaded the app, but it errors during the install. I was just wondering if anyone else had this app working before I spend time trying to resolve the issue.

What errors are you getting when installing it.

I just tried it again, and it said it installed successfully, but was made for a previous version of windows.
Now I'm not sure what it did with the install. can't find the installed app, or a way to configure it.

Ummm would it be under java program. Or just browse under accessories possibly.

I don't see the app anywhere, but after rebooting, I notice my IE setting are pointing cookies, etc... to the storage card. Something's working. Not sure how to check for e-mails going to the storage card?
There is a Pocket IE folder on my storage card with the above referenced folders

I cant take it because need register in these site.

It's says made for previous version when you install, but works good on my 6.1 blackjack. It moves pie to storage and downloaded email/attachments to storage. It's not necessary to run a mailstorage program because the cab takes care of the changes.

no need for all that in 6.1. go into Settings/IE Settings/Temporary File Path and change the IE Cache Path

Ughhhhh the SMS counter

Is there any way for the SMS counter to go back to 0 when viewing several messages from one sender? Other wise I have to keep going back and opening for the counter to tick down.
On my 6800 I upgraded to the last DCD rom and it did the same. Only for that reason did I go back to his previous rom. This drives me nuts. The worst part is I recieved 15 angry texts from my ex wife. Who the heck wants to open that up 15 times for it to clear?

just go to the threaded messages & use the arrow keys to go select each & every one of them & it'll set the counter right. hope that makes sense.

I found a better fix. This adds "Mark all messages read"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265

Is there still not a cab/real fix for this? I know that it is a problem with the version of WM that it shipped with but this is kind of ridiculous and Sprint/Whoever can't expect us to deal with this or install a cab that "makes it easier"
All other version of WM that i've ever used have never had this problem before and it is quite annoying if you stay in a text message for a while and then go out and have to click through 100 messages... Yes I've already installed the cab that adds "Mark all as read" but its still annoying.

Download install that DLL into your windows and your all set. This is a well known issue with the DLL not letting go of the message properly. Fix thanks to Yay4juggs

Thanks a bunch for linking the file and thank you to Yay4juggs for fixing this.
One less thing about the TP2 that is annoying... Damn you stock sprint manilla icons and inability to use the FM radio yet!
Cheers

thanks for the link...I never know of this issue until I got my tp2. I had 6 & 6.1 on my wing & never encountered the problem. 2 late to really test out iwth my friends.

try using total commander to copy over.

For those that backup on a regular using sprite etc u have to add "htmlnote.dll" & "HTMLNOTE.DLL" to the exclude list other wise the backup will fail.

I'm using Sprite Backup 6.5 and it works just fine without adding it to the exclusion list.

can someone please tell me what i need and what to do to install this!
I have this problem almost everytime I get a text. Its sooooo annoying!!

come on, all I need to do is install it. I copy it over to my tp2 and it doesn't show up. I installed total commander like someone said but all that did was let me see it. It has an error when I click on it.

You need to move the file and replace the old one, not try to open it. Try deleting the old one and then moving the new one in its place.

Delete the old what? And move it where? And once it's moved do I have to install something or does it just fix it by being there?

I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you read all the posts in this forum topic you would know what to do. I'll write out instructions for you however.
1. First, download this DLL
HTML NOTE DLL
2. Extract the file onto your desktop and then transfer it over to your phone via activesync, SD card, bluetooth, etc.
3. Wherever the file was copied to (be in in the root folder of the storage card or any other place, fire up Total Commander/Resco File Explorer and copy/move the "htmlnote.dll" over to /Windows folder. which is in the root folder of 'My Device'
*You will know that you are copying/moving it to the right location if you get a message stating that you would be overwriting the current file. If you do NOT get this message than you are either putting the modified "htmlnote.dll" in the wrong spot or your already deleted it from /Windows.
If you are still having further issues, please PM me and we will work this out.
Cheers

thank you, when I moved it over I didn't get a overwrite message but eversince I put that file in there I haven't had the problem. Slowly my phone is becoming more useable and less annoying

Thank you for the information, I have found this particular bug to be exceedingly annoying. I followed all the given instructions, but when i try to copy/move the file from my storage card, and get prompted to overwrite the existing file, Total Commander returns an error 'Cannot copy or move file!'
I had already tried this a few times, without any issue, and then soft reset my Sprint TP2. Since i still had the single unread sms bubble, i tried it again and got the error above.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
UPDATE:
I renamed the original to '000original' and was able to copy over the new .dll. However, after a soft reset, the problem still exists.

OK, found this thread and installed the cab. Worked like a charm...
Looks like i can't post links yet, so just search for FixUnreadCount.zip and that does the trick.

FINALLY
Thanks you for finding this .. ive spent the last week searching through files on my tp2 trying to find the right one .

[Q] how to install apps ?

hi i am new to the htc hd mini and i am finding very hard to find good info on what to do with it maybe its still new, but how do i install apps i have downloaded a few themes/apps and not having any joy of putting them on the the phone sure i have put them on the memory card but can't install them from there i have downloaded the activesync (running win xp) and that don't install apps. so i am stuck it was quicker and easy to jailbreak the ipod touch and put apps on there. where am i going wrong ?
many thanks a confused hd mini owner.
p.s
now i know there is no compass on it (one of the things i was looking forward to using)
also while looking on youtube there was a clip where someone is doing street view or somethink like and moving the phone about and the street image moved too, also i was told that using google maps with the layers i could find a shop with it..i think this must be for another phone.
apart from this its still a nice little phone would be much better if i could get some of the above working.

App extensions are CAB it's like seeing zip or rar file on PC.
to check the file extension in your PC go to Folder Option > View Tab > Remove tick from Hide Extension...
move cab files in your Storage card then in file explorer from your phone click on them and if prompt Microsoft security choose Yes and finally choose where to install applications.
in case your application is EXE: connect your phone to your PC via Active Sync and then run the file from PC... Follow the on screen instructions.

thanks emrause i shall try this when the phone wants to connect to the pc this morning for some unknown reason it don't want to connect to the pc i have tryed a data drive and getting no luck and only once did i did it will activesync but nothink happend...almost pulling my hair out here...wish they would have made the phone a bit more user friendly

That's because you have extracted .cab file, before transfering it to device.
