advice required to assist in upgrade to xda developers 1.2

hi - i have downloaded the XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe from jeff summers post at http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe when i run the program it says that it cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your pocket pc please download and try again. i think my question is - how do i make the download from jeff see the rom image i have to enable it to make the modifications and then install it to my device....... many thanks in anticipation of some assistance. :?

Have you looked at the file size? I would try downloading it again, it maybe you have a corrupt or partial file.

hi thanks for your reply - i have now checked the file size - the download is 15.4 meg and the file i have is also 15.4 meg .... i will however download the file again just to eliminate the corrupt file issue and will post to this thread the results of trying to run the newly downloaded version. thanks for your reply.

i have done as i said but i still get the same error message.... 007 cant find the rom image ... can you or anyone tell me the procedure for using this developers program as per the above link from jeff... i need to know where to place the rom image so that the program can find and adjust it.

Just to check whether it's the file contents and not something else, change the file name to .zip and use Winzip to check the file. You should find a directory named \english that has a file named NK.nbf with a size of 32 MB
In that case if you have SD card and reader/writer, just move this file to the SD card and use the bootloader (power button + soft reset) to flash your XDA.

Hi thanks for your reply – I have done as you asked and yes the file does exist….. the only card reader writer I have is the xda its self via activsync – will this be suitable ?? – I have read lots of info of this site and wondered do I run the risk of destroying my xda by being of limited ability and not using a “.exe” self installing method. ?

Hi ...
If you can extract the NK.nbf file, then you can use the XDAtools from this site. Use the OSImage tool to copy the file contents to your XDA flash ROM. I would recommend taking a backup first using the same tool but with the opposit source/destination.
If you still get the error message then you are stuck to the SD card method. Up to my info (didn't try it tho), copying the file through the XDA will not work as the card will be formated during the the copying, you must use a PC reader\writer for this.
You better be very careful as YES there is always possibility to turn your XDA into a very expensive paper weight!! ... but by following the instructions it will go very smoothly.
Good luck ...

thanks i will give it my best shot and return here with the results....and possibly an expensive paper weight
many thanks.

Hi,
I'm not sure what happened with your installation, but make sure that under your Storage card you have the Tool folder and CeleSetup.exe like the one shown in attachment.

okies.. trying it now.. btw the file should be in .rar extension and not .zip extension right??
and with regards to editing the css file..
BEEP
IFEX %C\Jeodek
LINK %P\Tools\Java.lnk,%C\Jeodek\Jeodek.exe
IFEX
IFEX %C\ClearTemp
LINK %P\Tools\Clear Temp.lnk,%C\ClearTemp\ClearTemp.exe
IFEX
IFEX %C\Metro
LINK %P\Tools\Metro.lnk,%C\Metro\MetroSP.exe
should i replace all instances of %C and %P with "Memory Card"??

okies.. follow the steps and tried again.. this time it worked.. without editing the css file.. think the problem was i restarted the PPC even before i get any popout so this time i waited for a longer period of time till i get the popout. kudos to vibranze for this wonderful set of applications!

Side note.. if you have the same applications already installed.. it is preferred if u use the applications from the Tools folder.. The setup kinda deregistered some files in the original application installed thus resulting in it not working probably especially in TCPMP..

Sure....what exact files are you downloading? You should be able to tell when you're downloading them that the extension is ".cab"...as long as that's the case, just put the .cab file on your phone and click it to run from there.

in other words. Don't unpack the "cab" files on your computer or phone... just transfer the entire "cab" package to your sd card or phone. Use file explorer (on your phone) to navigate where you have saved the cab files. Select the cab file and the installation will begin

aaand this too just for the noobness haha.. if you've d/l'd a .cab to your pc and have winrar installed on it.. winrar will show the .cab's icon as that little set of books like a .rar file.. they're both archives, but the .cab doesn't need unpacking.. it's like a windows mobile version of a .exe for the pc.. just saying, i did that too at 1st.. a loong time ago.. haha

just copy and paste to your phone storage and you are all set

[Q] EA sports FIFA 10

I bought and loaded this game in my Samsung Galaxy S.
When I execute it asks: Select "Download" to begin...
Then it says Download in progress... 5% 5/100...
After a long time asks me to retry, again and again...

Sounds like a question for EA.

Extract SMS on WP7

Hello there,
just for your info - maybe it helps somebody:
after some days of trying i found the shortmessages (with tel-number etc.) and some other stuff in a file:
1. Explore your phone with Windows Phone Device Manager
2. goto \Application Data\
3. Add "\Microsoft" to the path (under the file-explorer logo)
4. goto Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
5. Rename "store.vol" to something like "store.vol.txt" (it is mandatory to rename this file - without this step the file is in use by outlook)
6. extract it (drag n drop)
7. run perl script (#perl test.pl store.vol.txt)
8. See output
Maybe one of you could build a backup application or something like that!
Link to perl script:
http://uploaded.to/file/he26q0d2
Original source of script:
http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/pocketpc-dev/21040/Reading-pim-vol-EDB-File-on-a-PC
Edit:
Don't know if you've seen it:
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\data
ALL emails and other messages + contact-pictures + signature (three sizes) (just edit the file extension to .html or .jpeg - hex edit helps to find what is right )
\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
-> TabsStorage.bin: Opened tabs from internet explorer (where are the cookies?! )
\Applications\Data\82A23635-5BD9-DF11-A844-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore
ALL Facebook-Information (if app is installed), including messages, pictures, notifications etc. etc.
\Application Data\Location\Cache
Wifi & GSM Data when features is enabled in WP7-preferences (encrypted?! don't know..)
Much more to come...
greets
endeffekt

Thanks! Looks interesting, I might try that!
Hey just wondering but does syncing with outlook have the option to sync texts? Only reason I wonder is because you said that file was in use by outlook....

Hey,
i just THINK it's in use
If you look at this file without renaming it's at 0,00 KB and you can't extract it. Maybe the contacts-tile or something else is using it

Hi Endeffekt,
thank you for this great hint!
But one more question before I try. Is it possible, to rename the file after the procedure back to "store.vol" without losing the messages on the phone?

WP7 creates a copy of this file (automatic), so no problemo sir

Great! Alle messages are there. But the script doesnt work for me.
Now we need a smart developer who can make a viewer for it.
Is there a way to copy the vol file back to the phone? Or is the file always locked? For restore reasons...

I think this is very interesting (possibility to backup/restore SMS), so probably we should keep it on the front page so the devs could notice it.

Has anybody tried to restore that store.vol into the device after a reset? I mean rename the current store.vol to any filename, then copy the backed up store.vol to the phone and restart.
I'd like to try but i need to get hold all my current sms!

SMS retreival on Windows phone 7 using device manager
Hey all.
I have an Samsung Omnia phone 7. Dev unlocked. Running 7.0.7004.0
Anyone any idea how to view the file in question? I need to download this file, and save the SMS entries to my PC.
When I use device manager, I cant see a folder called
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore
I mean, when I copy and paste the above text into the path, its just beeps and doesnt show anything.
On the root under file explorer, I have
My Documents (which is empty)
Windows (lots of files in it)
-ActiveSync
-Application Data
--KeyStorage
-AppMgr
-ColdInit
-eventlog
and a few others
When I open the Application Data folder, I only have a 'Key Storage' (certainly no Microsoft folder, and I tried typing it incase it was hidden or something , but just a ping sound and no refresh of the file list)
and when I open Key Storage, I have no files.
Any help working out why I cant see these folders / store.vol file would be very much appreciated
Does Windows Phone Device Manager not support this functionality on the Omnia?
Thanks

this should be a sticky, and testers needed

Using the diagnosis code 5**6244*3
I was able to open the Apps Launcher and Shortcuts Menu and can confirm that the path \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore exists on my Focus.
In that folder, I have:
temp
0
4
6
3
19
8
Each of these folders has a list of single alpha named folders (a, b, c, d, e, etc...)
Each of these alpha folders has a single .dat file
I haven't tried to extract those files to try to play with them. I don't know how I would with the Focus... But just confirming the path exists on my Focus and has the .dat files

thank you munkeyphyst, still waiting for endeffekt

I've checked out all the EDB recovery/readers on teh net and cannot open one of these "edb" files from the phone.
if anyone knows the architecture of the file, I can parse it and have a program ready quickly.
