how to convert xap into zip - Windows 10 Mobile

How to convert any xap file into zip so they can install without PC by registering the appxmanifest through interop tool

Registering the appxmanifest works only with APPX not with XAP.

The xap with VMAppPRHeader.xml file inside can be installed from phone by clicking on it.
The xap without this file can be deployed from PC.

This is not the best way... because you have to have the folder in your phone... Just compile it to appx... Use the windows 10 sdk tools for convert folders to appx.

When it asks you for password, select none, use sha256.
The app is the same as the one that cames with windows 10 sdk, but this one has all-in-one and with easier steps.

So, how to use iti to make ARM uwp from xaps?

I don't think that's possible... unless you edit the manifest and some other stuff. What the tool does is packing a folder into appx or appxbundle with sha256 or w/e you select, it also generates certificates and other stuff... just like the sdk tools. You can try what you want to do by simply change .xap to zip and unzip it, once you got the folder with the files in it, use the tool to pack it to appx or appxbundle.

is not for xap files... this only is simple appx packer (when you extract appx files from phone to make appx install file)... is no magic tool for that...

I thought so. Can we get back Edge who was reading pdfs?

Need Help Extracting a CAB File From A .EXE File

I wanted to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file. How can I do it? I wanted to extract the CAB file for easy installation without running it from my computer.

Very easy,
launch the executable from your pc without the ppc connected to the pc.
Activesync will be launched, it will try to connect to the device and will say that the application will be installed next time the ppc will connect.
Go into c:\program files\microsoft activesync\[application]
you will get your cab file
Then
go into registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect
and remove the value : CEAppMgr
Cheers,
.Fred

Since the executable is a PC application, I don't think you can except if you know exactly where the cab file begins and ends in the setup. I think the simpliest thing to do is what I mentioned.

CAB extract
you can also extract CAB files from EXEs using WinRar.
Just right click on the A.EXE file and you will see *extract* (if you don't see this option, then you can't extract the file - I had this problem with MS Voice Command 1.6)
Once the A.EXE has been extracted to your desired folder on the desktop PC, you can then find the CAB file and simply copy this to your PPC (without having to use anything like ActiveSync or installing any software on to your desktop PC). Run the CAB file on your PPC to install.
I hope the above helps!

or you can run the exe with the ppc connected ,make sure that you have a sd card in the device.the promp comes up asking were you want to install the app, do nothing,got start, file explorer and browse to; windows\appmgr [in the ppc] and your cab file will be there in a folder,simply copy to another location.then go back and cancel the installation
just a thought, the ppc application might be installed in its own folder in program files not necessarily the activesync folder so u'd find the cab file there..
I always extract files from a CAB file with WinCE CAB Manager to make the installation easier and make the application install to Whichever folder I want.But some files of the applications must be put into some folders,such as \Windows,\Appliction Data.And I will know what the installaion do to the registry.
I found it impossible to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file on PPC,and extract files from a CAB file without installation on PPC is also impossible.
Howto extract Cab. file from EXẸ file in linux

Just use the cabextract utility.
I can not extract EXE file by using cabextract
I try cabextract tool, but this tool only extract .CAB file, it can not use for extract .EXE file. What I want is a tool in linux can extract an windows .EXE install file to .CAB file so that I can install ppc software directly from my linux machine. Any suggestion? THX advanced.
extract PPC CAB in Linux
It's not a 100% pure Linux solution, but this works for me. I have tested this on my Edgy Eft Ubuntu box. I don't know if it will be the same on Fedora, but it should be similar.
Get the latest Wine install from winehq.org. I got rid of my old .wine folder to make sure I was using a clean install, so you shouldn't have to do any additional installs or tweaks to wine.
Disclaimer: Don't expect this to work for actual syncing, only for getting the CAB files.
Get a copy of ActiveSync and install it under wine. I tried versions 3.0 and 4.2 and both worked. The version 4.2 installer failed at the end trying to update some USB drivers, but the files were all there and worked.
Again using wine, run your PPC installer program that you want the CAB from.
Like earlier posts in this thread pointed out, the CABS should end up in a subfolder of C:/Program Files/Microsoft ActiveSync. On my system, these are under my .wine/drive_c folder.
Good luck,
Andy
thank you Andy,
I will try in my fedora and post the result as well.
OK, I saw cab files it in ./wine/Microsoft Activesync folder. Thank again Andy.
extract .cab in linux -
synce.org , orange tools
gerisgame -- I'm glad it worked for you! If you don't mind compiling from source, the Orange tools kevit specified work without all the Wine/ActiveSync business.
kevit -- Thanks for your comment about Orange tools. I had been over at the synce.org but never saw them.
Once I had the right libraries, they built cleanly and work like a charm on the files I've tried.
Andy
Orange and synce
Thank you both Kevit and Andy, I will try that way. If it works, it is more straight and better way.
I try Orange tool in my fedora laptop, but it does not work, belows is my command line:
[[email protected] Pocket2005]$ orange pqdvd.exe
-------
0 files
I can not find a documentation for orange tool, pls help. THX
I thought that pqDVD was a regular desktop application.
If so, orange tools probably won't help. pqDVD may install and run under wine, though.

The means? To copy it to a FAT32 formatted SD, plug it to the phone in bootloader mode and see if it works!
1- Install win rar
2- Extract the file

Go to

Check thru date the last created directory
Don't forget to open first the update.
If you can't see the AppData directory, you need to change the folders settings to see hidden system files.

[XAP] LG MFG App & Q-Test

I wanted to find a LG MFG app, because my LG GW910 hasn't it (##634# doing nothing). I've downloaded optimus 7 rom and start working. I've succeed to dump rom (9 partitions), and wrote extract tool (see below).
This mfg also contains api, which allow to work with proximity sensor, magnitrometer (compass) etc. This app is already unlocked (unsigned), so just deploy it on your device.
Q-Test is just "Device Test" form the Factory Menu of the MFG (thanks fb401).
Extracted using this tool.
I almost done my build tool, i'll upload it soon.
Awesome work.
The Q-Test is pretty underwhelming as it's just "Device Test" from the Factory Menu of the MFG.
I hope we can document exactly what the capabilities of the MFG are. It seems as if my GW910 has HSDPA disabled and I can't figure out how to change that. Why do I think HSDPA is disabled?
Factory Menu -> 7.Engineering Menu -> 4.Modem Setting -> 1.Engineer Mode
Press Prev to see the HSDPA Module status.
STATUS: HSPDA_INACTIVE
How can I possibly change this.
Also, let us know what the registry dump looks like!
Hi i have lg gw910 also thanks for the tools ill see what i can find

Mb just there is no available HSDPA networks? I can't check it because my carrier (MTS) gives me only GPRS inside my house (outside UMTS works). Anyway category is 8, so speed will be 7.2 Mb/s, sweety!

Yesterday, i've released my extract tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981513), so you can download any O7 & Q7 ROM and convert it to nb.
Hi I downloaded your zip files and tried to extract them but what's funny is I can see the .xap files in windows explorer and as well as winrar but once I extract them ... the destination folder is empty? I tried this on my windows 7 machine as well as an older win 2000 server machine ...
what utility did you use to zip the file? anychance that you can re-zip and post it again? Thanks!

Everything works well. Just use WinRAR, not Windows Explorer.

in windows it considers that extracted xap as a system file(of windows) and hides..so goto control panel>>folder options>>"view" tab>>select to show hidden files..ur mfg.xap will appear along with desktop.ini lol..

How to install xap/appx/appxbundle without PC

file explorer does nothing whenever i click install option to install app
Is there anything i am missing or
There is some other tool/app to do so
you cant do this... not possible
not all apps can be installed by the file manager
I think only signed apps.
Is there any tool to install apps (without help of file explorer).
I have seen some tool for wp7 or 8 on xda but i don't know whether it works on windows 10

YESSSS ... read search on this great forum. https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGJKSp4_X0JBgeAGCN8TEvpZuiFiQ
You can deploy appx and appxbundles without PC, go to Developer Settings and turn on Device Portal. Then tap Pair and memorize the password or just leave it there in the background. Now go to Edge and navigate to http://127.0.0.1/ and enter the password. I suggest to also check the Remember box. Now you can deploy appx packages on the Apps page. This does not work for XAP.
My edge didnt ask for password.
On developer mode on device portal set off ask for password.
It won't install unsigned packages though. That sort of defeats the purpose of being a Developer option doesn't it?

Just to check the interop and some tweaks...
I use the xap deployer and lite sdk from here

Do you have a better method?
Do we have fs access for lumia 950 yet or not?

Deploying WP appx in Windows 10 Mobile

I'm trying to deploy a WP appx to my device with AU, build 14393.67. I have used SDK mini to do that, but always show an "install path not found" error. Any idea or alternative to fix it?
Thanks.
Win 8 or Win 10 appx?
you dont need SDK to install appx...
- copy file to phone and run it from file manager
- you can install appx from PC to phone using portal (enable developer and portal options in settings)
Interop tool may work too.
