Why won't the cab file load???

Okay, so I download the "official" ATT exe file and then get a cab file. Woo-hoo sez I as I work with a mac and was going to use the sd card method anyway. Only when I tap on the cab file on my inserted sd card, it won't load. Any ideas? Personally I susupect that it's because I use a Mac and am just recently arrived from Palm/Treo world that this is some kind of cosmic hazing, but I would like to get SOME version of WM6 running on my 'puter. Even better without ATT bloat but I never was a cautious man.

And yes, I've been reading Wiki and the three bears till my eyes bleed but this learning curve is a bit steep, so any kind strangers.......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
it is not a cab...its a .exe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PostDeals:
so far the final is good a bit slot though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] luria:
Well, it WAS an exe file til I used filejuicer on it as part of the regular (I think) sd card rom upgrade method. There has GOT to be a way for a Mac user like myself to get a new rom onto the phone. I hope.

I installed the new ROM and got the new Sync from Microsoft, I cant get it to sync. What am I missing??????

Parallels :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] luria:
Paralells might be an answer but after paying 80 bucks for it and then another fes hundred for windows I could just as well buy a new phone. Or two. I already have Missing Sync and product is, shall we say, lacking.

Cyberon, the names are pronounced a bit funny, I guess because its an Asian version.

Also, all the ATT media stuff is built into the (ATT) rom, and will be there even if you skip the extended_rom customizations.

I'm on a mac, and Parallels have been a lifesaver. And while I am most certainly not advocating piracy, there should be a way to renew the trial period for a Parallels installation (if I remember right, been a while since I used a trial version) that would make it very usable for a Mac.

All this being true, once I have extracted the cab file from the exe file and installed it on my sd card, why wouldn't the cab file now open? I install cab files all the time. There is that wiki thread about how to update roms on a mac using the sd card so there must be some work around of this. I see no nbh (?) file to rename as HERMIMG (which sounds a lttle to teutonic for my tastes anyway).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
i think u have to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file from the .exe and rename that to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to ur SD card, someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think that's what you have to do...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] luria:
That's exactly what I thought so, too. Only when I tried to extract files from the exe, all that I get is the cab file. weired.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AlienHairball:
It was said somewhere earlier that this is the final submission from HTC to AT&T for approval. If AT&T accepts it then they go live with it, otherwise they might request HTC tweak a couple of things.

It's as close to official as we've seen so far. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
when u unzip the .exe u should get the enterbootloader, ruu, ruu_signed.nbh, etc.... u shouldnt get a cab file i dont think lol...at least i didnt

WM6 for htc 8525

Hi,

I would like windows mobile 6 for my htc 8525, with the ppt working and live messenger. I get into the page of rapidshare to downlad it, but it seems its no longer there, i try to download ir with star downloader, but it didnt.

Do you have other webspace were I can find windows mobile 6, and cool software, like live msn, spb, pocket plus, or something new that you can recomend me please.

thanks.

Holey Moley.. 21 pages/threads on this topic in just 24 hours?

That's wack!

I got the DOPOD ROM installed... didn't reallly see anything major in terms of speed. I also upgraded with the radio 1.47 (which was the latest and greatest Radio Rom as of 2 days ago).. I didn't notice any difference as well.

This may be the ATT "OFFICIAL" rom.. but I think if you run with the Dopod rom (which gets you the Cyberon Voice Command), and add the ATT splash screen and the Cingular WAP settings CAB files, then add MOBITV and XM cab files, you've got pretty much this 'ROM' in a 'stripped down version'. Only exception is the Push To Talk button which activates Voice Command on the Dopod Rom.

I can't believe there's all these mad rush of ROMS this past 2 days..

What the heck is going on?

MODS RULE!! :)

did anyone manage to get the streaming player working w/ this ROM? i tried installing the this cab but once it gets to about 98% buffer it closes. And the real player doesnt stream youtube nor tinytube.net 3gp files. What im loving about this ROM is the ability to play audio while the phone is on sleep mode.

Resetting trial period for XM radio and MobiTV no longer works on this ROM.

Any ideas how to fix? I had been using Mortscript and the script someone had created on this forum. AT&T must have caught on to this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
That is a common problem with the streaming player. It needs updated before it will work. There are cab files out there, do some searching.

That's one reason alone to not use this rom, lol

I love my free MobiTV and XM Radio!

anyone has any info on the ptt? how exactly is it useful?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
Hmmm.... Interesting. I had the exact same problem. A reflash seems to have fixed it. On the reflash, I let it run the first round of autoconfig fir Cingular, but then killed it before it did the ExtROM. The first time, I killed before the first autoconfig.

Anyway, hope this helps.

sleep of death

Had the sleep of death on the ATT release of WM6 with radio version 1.48, seems like now its become a device problem. I rolled back to the original WM5 with radio 1.38.001 and looks like its passed down the problem to WM5!!

i dont have a clue whats causing the standby issue, more than the standby issue is the problem of calls being lost, the phone reports a signal but as soon as you try to make a call, the phone signal is lost and it tries to aquire a signal again.. so the standby mode is kinda putting the phone in to flight mode with out you knowing!!! meaning your phones reporting signal but when people call you all they get is the answer phone!! i've also noticed that the Call Duration in device information resets to 0hrs 0mins... gonna try the ATT wm6 along side the patch bt nitin, see if that fixes the problem!

Verify that you have disabled the proxy. by default in teh Cingular one, it is enabled.

Hahaha... no, I haven't OD'ed yet... although the last few nights have been quite late and I'm feeling it. :(

And it is Monday again and the "real" job is particularly demanding this week, so just bear with me. I'm testing some techniques with the PTT that need to be well tested prior to release, but overall the ROM itself is in really good shape. :)

I must say I'm feeling as though v3.0 will really "raise the bar" compared to the "official" bloatware (just to borrow a phrase...) :D

Yes, you are definitely a great chef, and there are a great many of us obsessively checking for an update.

I went ahead and added the 1.48 radio and after quick tests, it seems the same or better than 1.40. Can't tell yet on battery life.... speed is a bit better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ThaiM:
I'm hoping this will be my first meal with this cooked ROM from the great chef. Preferably carrier free and no bloatware whatsoever. A nice universal for anyone far and wide. Oh, and does BBConnect work with this? :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Well, my cook will be AT&T-oriented as that's my "thing" in this game, but you will be able to bypass the autorun and have something quite "vanilla".

Dunno about BBC support, but I'm not planning to hex edit mine. I'll leave that to someone else.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] teknics:
Just some quick observations after a day using this rom.

PIE seems to be quicker, and viewing a page with the text smallest in one column looks much better - sort of like full screen lite.

You may need that sound restore cab posted earlier. I did and it works again.

Battery doesn't die as quick, even browsing at 3G.

Impressive so far.

Prob a reg setting....something we should look into to bring to other roms....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
That's exactly what to do.

also, format the card to fat16, and hermimg must be in the root.

@Wpbear, I was thinking the exact same thing also, it would be neat if someone could identify the key..

Also, If anyone is in interested in an at&t themed dialer based off the theme from this ROM, check the link in my siggy, not sure if I will finish it, because Blue isn't really my thing, but if I notice some people wanting it, Ill devote a bit more time.

The server hosting that is experiencing power issues today, I just found out, so if it doesn't work, give it a little time...wouldn't have bothered posting that, but figured some people might be like wtf.

Is anyone else having issues with DriectPush with this ROM? I have DirectPush highlighted in the CommManager, however under ActiveSync schedule, there is no selection for "As Items Arrive" as there were in previous ROMs. I have tested and found out that even if the DirectPush is on in the CommManager, the push email will still not work.

Is Windows Live part of WM6 roms or it was cooked in custom WM6 roms? I gotten to like Windows Live and don't see it in the official rom so I wasn't sure if it was a downloadable cab or part of WM6 rom removed at AT&T request.

Also there no button 5 for PTT in the button setting so I assume that was cooked into ROM by other as well too?

Thank you

Bill
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
It's all there; they remove the icon from Programs during customization. :rolleyes: It will return with my recook.

The reg settings for 'Button 5' are present in non-AT&T ROMs, but removed in the AT&T version so the hardware button can be used exclusively for PTT. If all goes well you'll have your choice of PTT function or button reassignment with my recook. :)

wifi problem after installing wm6 ATT

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this has been covered, but i installed the new wm6 (which is running a little slow, but that is another issue). My wifi connects with no problem, but when i try to open a web page it doesn't work.

although, when i download pop3 mail, or use google maps i have no problem.

any thoughts?

thanks.

Your right about Windows Live.

I just test setting up an email account with hotmail address and it automatically detect the hotmail address I set up and added a Windows Live icon in the text message account listing.

But I have not test the push feature yet to see if it still active or disabled on this rom.

I just managed to lock up the rom completely that I had to do a SR to recover and able to reproduce it heh.

What I did was go to notification setting then go where you can select the sound for each notifications you want and test play a sound but I was curious which sound and quickly test one sound after the others and it would lock up after several sounds ie none of the buttons or screen tapping will work however it still goes to sleep normally.

Does anybody using MS Push get even a day of battery life?

I have never been able to. Am in NYC with strong signal, receiving a fair few emails a day.

The only way I can get more than 12hrs battery is by setting it to use GSM instead of 3G.

Ridiculous battery life.

Update: Forgot my point! This ROM does not seem stable when using MS Push AND GSM only in the BAND Tab on Phone setting. (Used reg edit to enable the tab)

Push mail for Windows Live is not working for me but I am sure the Windows Live setting need to be changed to "As Item Arrive" however I can't remember where that setting was located at when I changed it in the previous rom.

It only works if I tap the today screen sync or force a send/recieve

Normal exchange email syncs fine thou when I get new emails.

I am having just the opposite problem! The Windows Live Push seems to be working for me, but Exchange push is not. The "As Items Arrive" option appears in the Windows Live options, but not in the ActiveSync options as it does in every WM6 ROM as well as every WM5 MSFP ROM I have used.

EDIT: OK DE DE DEE for me. Some how Up to date notifications were turned off on my Exchange Features in Active Directory. I guess if that is not enabled on the server, the option doesn't show up on the phone. Push is now working great with both Exchange and Windows Live. Over all, I'm pretty impressed with this ROM and am looking forward to all the chefs creations.

This rom is used for AT&T/Cingular carrier only since the data settings is set to that so if your not using it on AT&T/Cingular network then you will need to go to the connection data setting and change the settting to the carrier data networkyour using. I am sure your carrier have the setting info somewhere on their website.

If you are using on AT&T/Cingular network carrier then try disabling proxy by going to Program -> Proxy setting - Disable Proxy.

Either have Windows Live today plugin enable on your today screen and tap on it. (I disable the plugin earlier that why I couldn't find the options 8-P )

This isn't the thread for that kind of question.. try the 'Hermes' thread... this thread is for this specific ROM .. however... I dont think you can use Cellular Video from Cingular using WIFI since I think they want to confirm you are connected via MediaNet or GPRS whatever it is.
