Can't extract/execute from v3.2 standard rar?

I can't get CustomRUU.exe to extract or execute out of the .rar file in gv3.2 Standard. I've tried to extract it to disk, as well as just trying to execute it out of WinRAR. When trying to extract, it silently fails; when trying to execute, I get a pop-up saying it "Cannot execute..."

The .nbh file extracts, but not the .exe.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Argh! Ostrich is exactly right. Disabling anti-virus software while opening the file works like a charm. And with all the previous traffic about that, too. I guess I thought it could never happen to me... :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DrunkenOstrich:
Yes, try disabling your virus scanner.

NATF - THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! Merry Xmas! (check ur inbox :) )

thanks for a merry Christmas present NATF. my family didn't get me anything for Christmas. what fun!!

When does the Network Setup Wizard pop up?

NATF instructs in his first post that after flashing: "AT&T users should click "No" and then "Disable" when the Network Setup wizard pops up."

When does the Network Setup Wizard pop up after flashing?

I keep missing this step and having to go back and do a second hard reset after flashing in order to get the chance of choosing "No" and "Disable."

Excited to use 3.2.

Happy holidays from this Newbie to one and all!

Thanks NATF!!

EDIT: Just so you know, I have searched for an answer to this question, with the best info being found what someone kindly responded after I struggled with this when flashing 3.0 (see page 184 of this thread). So here's a follow on question: to get the option to click "No" and "Disable," is it necessary to have my AT&T sim card inserted when doing the rom flash and immediate hard reset? I ask because even after just doing a second hard reset (with sim and sd cards out of the device and back in after the hard reset finished) I'm still not getting the option to click "No" and "Disable."

If I change the splash screen on my fuze, will it revert back to a different splash screen when I flash a new rom, or reflash the same rom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wildace408:
i believe this only applied to v3.0 ROM. i could be mistaken but it only popped up for me on 3.0. when i flashed 3.1 it didnt pop up. DL'n 3.2 right now. Thank you NATF and merry christmas.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Only the HTC builds of v3.2 include HTC Network Setup. Because I was able to return to RaphaelKitchen to construct my ROMs, I was able to release separate ROMs tailored just for AT&T users.

Thanks for the mirror. Sorry to hear about Christmas... all I got was a coupon to get my car detailed.

My ROMs do not include splash screens, so your current one will remain.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] supapimp2k3:
v3.2 Is looking great. No noticable bugs within the first few hours. Thx for putting out 3.2 in time for the holidays. Just for that I'll spread a lil holiday cheer to your paypal ;D...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] znutar:
please don't flame me

I've gone through this thread quite extensively and am quite interested in trying NATF's ROM, primarily to benefit from the optimization to battery life and memory, but I don't have some concerns/questions. I've performed "official" ROM upgrades before, but not "unofficial ones. Anyway:

1) I use my phone for work and can't really afford the risk of bricking it or losing primary functionality (e.g. phone calls and MS exchange support). So am I really going to enjoy that much of a benefit over the stock ATT ROM? I've looked in the thread for performance comparisons and haven't seen any real hard numbers, more of the touchy feely "boy my Touch Pro is so much faster/better/long lived now." What is the true benefit of the ROM change? Do you get 50% or more battery life increase or is it a more modest increase like 15%? Do programs run that much faster or is more a matter of perception than actual fact that things load and run better?

2) If I use Sprite backup's ROM upgrade backup process, will I be able to restore my installed programs (there are many) or do I have to start from scratch and reinstall everything one by one?

I'm really impressed with what NATF and the other ROM guys have done even if I haven't yet taken the plunge, but being an scientist and an analytical sort of guy, it would be of great interest to me to see performance comparisons such as battery life drain tests, or program launch comparisons to see really how much better NATF's ROM is from the stock ATT ROM. I Know the cellular providers but a lot of bloatware on the phones, but it would surprise me if they would cripple a phone so much that you would see a huge decrease in performance after they have laid hands upon it since it would tend to piss off their customers (I know, do they really care about us or not...well that's another discussion, but I've generally been well treated by ATT and they turned a blind eye to my mediamax 200 account for years until this most recent upgrade to a Fuze where the change in the upgrade policy forces you to change to an official PDA plan). Anyway, your comments to my questions would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
The lack of bloatware provides a significant increase in storage, free ram after boot, and faster performance over the stock ROM. There is some contention over battery life but Radio version and location play a major role in this.

I use SPB Backup 2.0 but I've heard of much success using Sprite Backup. You should be able to restore most, if not all of your data. There is a likelihood that you will have to reinstall a few things to get them working properly on this ROM but your settings and files, the most important parts, will be restored.

I would recommend using the ATT based ROM and even to do a fresh install of your apps. The stock ROM has a lot of outdated versions of apps and it would be a shame to screw up the newer versions by "overwriting" them with older versions. I've found that keeping all of your program cabs in a single folder on the SD card makes reinstalling everything much easier. I haven't played with UC yet.

Im having the issue with changing my ringtone. It keeps reverting back to the default and wont let me change it doesanyone have a fix for this issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] martyramos:
I also use my phone for work and I suspect most of the folks here do so also...the flashing of the ROM is relatively painless and if you follow the instructions, pretty much risk free. If you're concerned, I'd say read through the thread and choose a version that's been "well-tested"...most (except 3.1, where NATF was pushing the envelope) have minor idiosyncracies which may/may not impact your usage...I think the best measure of a ROM's value is the post/read counters of the thread...and NATF's seems to have become the Fuze/Raphael standard.

The main advantages, for me anyway, are the additional memory, the deletion of all the bloatware and the later builds...plus knowing I have a finely tuned device built the way I want it, rather than what my provider believes I need. Most folks here are "power users" and issues seem to surface rather quickly and NATF responds outrageously fast.

From a performance standpoint, I don't believe anyone has any hard numbers (there's no "standard" benchmarking), so evidence, as you note, is anecdotal, but almost unanimous. I see better performance in the TF3D user interface and generally better responsiveness (but then again, I haven't run the stock ROM in quite awhile), likely due to the numerous registry "tweaks" done by NATF during his build. Many of these are documented in other threads, but collectively implemented by a very knowledgeable and responsive chef.

Memory is well-doc'd throughout the thread and I'll use that memory with many more useful programs and still have room for plenty more.

In any case, it's the holidays...you likely have a few days off from work and if you don't like the ROM (unlikely), you can always flash back to the original build. But, be forewarned, this flashing is addictive and once you start, it's hard to stop...

That said, my 3.2 download is complete and it's time to flash...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Ovrclck:
v3.2 addresses this issue.

GPS Fix

How is the gps for every one? I flased 3.2. It's taking hours to get a fix. I used to get it very fast. I tried GPS Test, HTC GPS Tool, iguidance, copilot live 7, gps gate (of course QuickGPS) but nothing happens. GPS test just says GPS Staring Up and just stays there. Is any one else experienceing this? v2.3 it was very fast.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nzilberberg:
this is my first custom rom (3.2) and for the most part its pretty solid.

there are 2 issues that I'm dealing with at the moment, one of which is a quibble and the other is a deal breaker.

First, gps seems to work identically as it did with the stock rom. I never had any problem with the stock rom except for the fact that it required gpsGate in order to use iGuidance. This remains true. If this is intended no big deal, I'll simply continue to use gpsGate but would like to know if that was intended or if it is not working properly for me.

Secondly, and this gets obscure so I'm not expecting many people to give a rats-ass here but for me this is the be-all-and-end-all of any window mobile phone, streaming mp3s with gsplayer no longer works in any kind of reliable way. It rebuffers over and over again and never stabilizes into a steady stream. This is even with a full 4 bars of signal when the phone is in "H" mode. With the stock rom I could have 1 bar of connectivity and that was enough to maintain a rock solid stream from my home server using gsplayer. Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] znutar:
I appreciate the comments and have a couple more questions:

1) I understand the benefits of streamlining and reducing memory footprints, but I don't really see my phone straining with memory limitations, especially considering that most of my programs are installed to the memory card (8 GB in this case) and I'm disciplined about closing programs and not leaving a bunch of stuff running in the background (battery drain concerns). That said, how does all the freed up main memory make that much of difference to those of you who have highlighted this benefit? I supposed if you leave a dozen programs running and are switching back and forth a lot you see a benefit, but I've found that most winmo programs launch near instantly (especially on this phone), so there is little benefit keeping them open for ease of use. I honestly haven't seen this phone struggle to run a few programs with the stock ROM so I'm dubious of this benefit aside from the general advantage of having more memory. I liken this to have 4 Gb of RAM vs. 2 GB of RAM on a windows XP build...sure its nice, but are you really gaining anything?

2) I've noted that many folks are frequently flashing NATFs new ROMs as they come available. Are they also reinstalling all their software or loading it back from a Sprite backup? I've found that backing up from sprite doesn't work all that smoothly after a ROM upgrade/change, and reinstalling all those cabs gets tiresome. I guess what I'm saying is their a point where the ROM is sufficiently "cooked" that you finally stop fiddling and are satisfied? How many tweaks does NATF need to make before a ROM is considered complete and sufficient or is this just done for the sheer pleasure of it and it becomes a never ending process?

My goal is to have a device that is fast, STABLE, and relatively bug free so I can just work with it and not have to worry about it. I guess I'm just hesitant to jump into this and find at best a modest benefit. It's sort of like the days when I was always tweaking my desktop to wring that next 2% of performance. I got more satisfaction from the tweaking that the actual performance benefit. Anyway, thanks for the comments...definitely food for thought.

<edit>

forgot one other thing: NATF mentions that a radio is not included and that if you want one you need to flash it separately. Does this mean that after the ROM change you need to perform a separate operation to get a working radio or is the radio that is already present on the stock ROM left alone when the upgrade is performed?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dschlaefer:
I'm really sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched around and haven't found anything.

Is there a list of what applications/features come with the Standard option vs. the Lite one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tvromero:
This information is in post #2.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TVDinner:
So I guess my question is this. I currently have Ver 2.3 installed and I have no complaints at all that are related to the ROM. My phone works pretty much exactly as I would want it to. It is fast, all programs work, including the MANY more I have added and everything seems to be fine.

So why would I want to upgrade and have to re add all my programs (cabs, etc). Is there any good reason to upgrade if you are happy with an older version?

Just wondering what people's thoughts were on this question and thinking.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] At0mAng:
Same problem here. With large start menu the background is grey when you disable large start menu it is black.

The Task Manager background on the today screen is also grey.

Also...the Comm Manager has the AT&T Logo background, anyway to change it to the HTC default background for the Comm Manager?

I can not map Hold Button 1 to Comm Manager as I was able in the stock ROMs. Change it in Buttons settings but cam still comes up. Anyone have a fix for it?

Merry Christmas
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nzilberberg:
more issues with 3.2

it doesnt seem to like switching communication types.

switching from wifi, back to data plan: the H icon displays but it wont actually connect to the internet until I soft reset

switching from usb active sync to data plan: the active sync arrow icon remains on after the usb cable has been removed and again it can't connect to the internet until after soft resetting
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Ovrclck:
2.3 eat battery like no other. I just switched to 3.2 from 2.3...what a difference!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cac67:
When you get right down to it, if you're satisfied with the performance of your fuze there is no need to flash it. Gaining memory and speed is nice, but not necessary.

I used the stock att fuze rom until 3.0 came out, but was not satisfied with the performance. I skipped 3.1 and flashed 3.2, just a little while ago. It is noticeable faster to respond than 3.0, but the gps is the real star for me. I used it this afternoon on 3.0 and it was as slow as the stock rom, about 2 minutes for initial lock with gps test. with 3.2, about 30 seconds. When you consider that I sat in a parking lot for 2 extra minutes this afternoon waiting for that lock, it's well worth my while to try to improve that. 3.2 will probably be my last one unless something interesting comes up, but the only thing I can think of right now that would make me do this again would be to eliminate the need for gps test to get a lock.

I do reinstall my software after each upgrade, but I'm not running all that much. In fact, the only thing I put back on this time was tomtom. I use dashwire for backup so that takes care of my contacts, pictures, ringtones, etc. Oops, that had to be reinstalled, too, but I just download that and install it. So total time to flash it from 3.0 to 3.2 and get it back to where I had it was only about 20 minutes.

The att fuze is begging for tweaking, at least to lose the bloat. You may not notice a performance gain if you're not bogging it down, but in a year this is not going to be the fastest phone processor and applications will probably be coming along that will require all the horsepower you can get to run it. Look at it this way, it can't hurt to wring all the performance you can out of your device.

You don't need to do anything with the radio, it's not part of this rom. I'm still using the stock radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Look down...

For the Start Menu, install the CAB attached to the post, and soft reset.

Button 1 is Phone Answer, not PTT. If you want to remap the PTT button, you need to create a shortcut to Comm Manager, rename it to either short_PTT or long_PTT, and copy it to the \Windows\ directory.

There is no 1-click method for remapping the PTT button yet.

The Comm Manager has the AT&T background because it is from the AT&T ROM. If you obtain the Comm Manager from an HTC ROM, you should be able to drop the files in \Windows\ and fix it. Otherwise, I'll cook it into v3.3.

GPS tested great tonight. Please make sure you disable AGPS.

I can reproduce the issue, but do not have a fix yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nextascy:
I am having the same problem with GPS. Went from 2.3 to 3.1 and it worked fine with all previous rom but for some reason 3.2 never locks.

I have turned off AGPS and enable quickgps, still not locking.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Philthyone:
Odd... I have experienced just the opposite. I had a hard time getting anything 2.3 and now with 3.2 I am locking extremely fast.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Philthyone:
Wallpaper behavior ??

This may simply be my own lack of experience on this one. But, I have replaced the wallpaper with a custom one, but it only shows up on the home screen. If I go to other TF3d screens, (weather, settings etc) it shows the default background from the rom. Is this a "Works as designed" or something that should work on each screen? Not a big issue at all, just something I thought odd.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] pandaboyy:
Which Radio are you guys using?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MKK:
Same here. Turned off AGPS, but still nothing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Philthyone:
Default radio. Have not unlocked to load another. Have not felt the need until NATF's ROM get solid stable. (Close. Thanks NATF) When we get there, then I will consider Radio tweaking.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rpc180:
That's normal - there's a tweak here which should be able to do that. There might be a bug opening up appointments on the home screen depending on your rom though, I haven't tried it with NATF's.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Jazz8:
I am also experiencing a slow GPS connect (I haven't actually connected yet as it took to long). I have only changed the ROM (from 3.1-3.2) before I ran into problems. The 3.1 Fuze ROM gave me a snappy connection but with the 3.2 HTC Touch Pro ROM "no dice".

I tried switching Radio's from 20M to the 28 and still nothing. I also tried the Fuze 3.2 ROM and disabling AGPS to no avail?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MKK:
A few days ago, I sim/security unlocked and flashed the Blackstone radio. Do you think that radio could be the source of my new GPS ills?

EDIT: Just switched to the .32 radio. Still nothing with AGPS disabled.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] pandaboyy:
Yes...

Also for the people in or close to Montreal. There is a storm tonight, so don't expect much for satellite locking. Wait till you get a clear sky and give it a try. I'm using .28 radio and it's pretty good with GPS (haven't tried on 3.2 yet... Still having Christmas party
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] oaa8:
just a quick question... I now may be flashing version 3.2 in the near future and have 3.1 yesterday, 3.0 shortly before and 2.3 one or two weeks ago. Is flashing this frequently going to decrease the life of the phone or have any type of adverse effects on the phone physically as in it's hardware?

I like to update things very frequently but I don't want to be dangerous
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] pandaboyy:
Tried .28 it seems to work much better on GPS locking
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] eruption82:
Wireless Manager Background

Did anyone else notice that the wireless manager background is the stock AT&T design with the orange switches in 3.2, while the rest of the theme is black and green? Its not a big deal to me but it might have been overlooked.

Keep up the good work NATF I just flashed my phone about a week ago and it is way better than stock!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] MKK:
Okay, just flashed .28. Nothing. That's three radios. Still no GPS. Whimper, whimper.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] stixnstownes:
very stupid question but im trying to extract the files from the rar for 3.2 and when i put the password to extract, only the nbh file extracts. CustomRUU does not. i tried and had same problem with 3.1. any solutions?

NATF thanks for the touch pro versions :) Going to flash as soon as possible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Actually, I use VSBenchmark to test different ROMs as this provides a "baseline" for various performance measures. v3.1 clocked a score of 2404 (I didn't make note of the different category scores as I didn't keep the ROM very long. lol). I am running the benchmark as we speak and will edit this post with detailed results.

~TWM

[EDIT]

VSBenchmark2007 Score - NATF v3.2 Standard

Total Score: 2237

Graphics: 1736

Others: 1769

JPEG: 4482

Games: 1223

Sound: 1975

As you can see, this version seems to do about 200 points lower. But I'll take a small backstep for the sake of stability. A fast piece of $hit is still a piece of $hit!

(NOTE: While I've installed all my software already, I disabled all startup apps and warm booted before running the benchmark. The score should be comparable to the original ROM. If I hard reset, I'll be sure to run the benchmark before reinstalling or restoring from backup to confirm.)

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sreams:
I just ran VSBenchmark on my Fuze with 3.2 Standard and got a 2419 (got 500 points higher than your score in the gaming test), so I don't think the results are going to be consistent enough to be able to say this ROM is 200 points slower than a previous one.

not long ago i got my self a HTC Touch Pro gsm version... well i have a stock rom installed on it and it's in a norwegian language.. i wonder, if i install NATF's HTC Fuze v3.2 will the whole system be in english then?

not that i have probs undestanding english but i wonder if the language is implented in a rom or not?
