Now that Steve Jobs has taken a medical leave of absence, soon to retire ( pancreatic cancer ) , what will become of Apple?

1). Apple will keep on it's current path, because it's products are superior in quality and design, no matter who runs the company.

2). Apple will lose it's lustre because the product quality and design will go down hill under new management

3).The products have always been crap, Steve Jobs is just the ultimate salesman, so goodbye Apple market share.

4). The Apple mystique is ingrained , it is not about Steve Jobs or the quality and design, the Apple fanbois will continue to buy no matter what.

Or something like that.

Hey guys,

Thought I'd throw up a post about a tool i've developed to make .cabs online. It's called Cab-O-Matic and basically all you do is .zip up the files you want cabbed, upload them and generate your .cab! :)

In the interests of privacy (and storage space!), no files are stored, the .cabs are generated "on-the-fly" and the files used to make them are removed once the .cab is generated.

I'll also be adding support for installing multiple files to multiple locations and might even have a section that allows you to include popular reg tweaks (if you have a favourite, please post it!).

The tool is currently in Beta.

Please try it out and let me know what you think :)

http://nedge2k.com/cab-o-matic

Cheers!

UPDATE: Finally got round to fixing this, the only issue now is with binary registry settings - I'm not entirely sure how to write them. I'll look into fixing it if the demand is there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] D1ab70:
nice

Great,Iv'e been lookin for something like this for a long time.Wanted it as a program on my device but this will do.Anyway I can put this on my webserver and also store created cabs with it on there as well?

Thanks,will let you know of any bugs.

*Feature Request-Option to upload oem packages and convert to cabs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nedge2k:
Not quite, I won't be releasing the source for this but I may introduce a developer API at a later date.

As for converting OEM packages to .cab, sounds like a great idea! It won't be something I'll look into until I'm happy everything is working as it should though ;)

combine several CABs

Hi there,

The most important thing I need from such a software is to combine several CABs so that they will install by just installing the one made from your site -- is it possible?

But anyway, you're the pioneer to build up the first online cab maker, no doubt in that :-)

cheers,

arefin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nedge2k:
Thanks :)

Yeah I've been thinking about that. Technically it's possible by including a setup.dll.

The way i see it, you upload a .zip of .cabs, Cab-O-Matic detects what you're trying to do and includes a setup.dll, the resultant .cab then puts the packaged .cabs into a temp folder and the setup.dll scans that folder and installs each .cab one by one :)

Only problem is, iirc, setup.dll's need to be created in C - which I dont write in. I know people that do though, so watch this space! :)

Mine is online, free, written from scratch and actually creates the .cabs. Theirs is offline, costs and is basically just a frontend for Microsoft's cabwiz.exe so...

If you experience any problems, or recommend this tool to people who then experience problems, please ensure that you/they post the issue in this thread...so I can fix it!!

Hey there!!

This must be a very dumb issue but an issue nevertheless and I can't find anywhere an answer to my dumb problem. :D

I am using my laptop to run RSD lite and other programs to flash some phones and I cannot get my computer to read them as COM ports.

I instaled drivers but nothing.

I am not a technician (obviously :-)) but I have been very good with computers and usually find my way around, but not now !:mad: :o

My V3M is recognized as a Modem in com 16 but RSD won't read it.

Samsung nothing...

No problem with my HTC or TREO... and pretty much got stuck on this!!

Can someone please give me a quick lesson on what I have to do to get the correct drivers for these and other phones, to install them and have them working correctly with RSD and other programs??

Please heeeeelp and sorry if dumb issue here!!

Can someone help me about this? I have bootloader screen (4 coloured screen) but after trying times and times always the same. After completing the %100 the error occurs...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] polllux:
The new official rom's appear to be flashable only by using the "flash from internal storage card" method, so just search out those words & you shall find all info/ tut's on doing it m8 ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
Or unzip the exe file and flash the .nbh file with udK.s Custom RUU
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] seatone:
just start bootloader mode (reset and keep vol down till the tricolor appears.)

u'll see "serial" written on the bottom of the screen, just connect your diamond to the pc till "USB" appears instead of "serial".

now just follow the method that omaga mentioned erlier.

it's as easy :)

good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mrjay:
doesn't work either way. i got the same error when i tried flashing the new rom. it doesn't work with the custom RUU, i gave up and flashed another one before trying to flash from storage.

my advice is to flash an older official ROM and try the flash from internal storage solution or try a cooked rom :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _wizo_:
I had exact the same problem. Tried twice to install the official but sith no luck.

Got bored and Installed Duttys.

Did not try the flash from card though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pegaz:
Don't worry - when it happened to me I was scary too that I bricked phone- it's not bricked.To make it work just reflash your HARDSPL once again on that tree color screen use olinex 1.40 or 1,93. After that this rom starts working you don't have to reflash it again. I flashed this rom twice and always in the end it trows error bla bla bla . Reflash HARDSPL and it works with no problem even if you do HR.

Cheers guys
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hmelihkara:
thanks friends, i install Dutty's last version (so i need at least one working system:)).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pegaz:
this problem you're talking about happened ONLY with this official HTC SHIPPED 2.03 version. Any other rom's doesn't cause any problems such like that above
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
And put your phone in bootloader mode manualy.

Volume down + hold reset button down for a while= 4 colour mode should appear, wait for "serial" change to "usb" just as seatone posted before

Done this with all my previous HTC devices (bt-mode manually)= Problems with flash? 0 times

and a second very importent tip is that Read every thing about flashing the phone before doing it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] teggboi:
Ok i just did this update and it did the same thing =( I got the same error and it doesn't seem to work. I did this upgrade from a 1.35 HTC ROM upgrade so it was stock all the way. What can I do to fix this? It's a UK phone and I live in Canada so I downloaded the US one when it asked where I live nearest to. Did I make a booboo?

Ok I did it a third time and it worked =\

Anyone find that the alarm clock function doesn't work? Even if it did like before, it doesn't go off when the phone is off which sucks! My older phones do!

I had the same problem yesterday.

So I just rebooted & installed the rom I had previously been using (latest official french one).

Then I followed the instructions for doing a flash from the internal storage :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471699&page=8

Everything worked fine.

I also had changed the hspl to HSPL OliNex 1.93 as the phone came with a crappy operater ROM.

At first when the phone gets stuck in the tricolour band mode I thought I wouldn't be able to connect to the pc (no active sync) but at the base of the tri-colour bands you'll see 'USB' if your cable is connected ('SERIAL' if not), & then there's no problem executing the ROM installation.

So put the ROM you had before, then once done, follow the instructions from the quoted text above. It'll work & you'll breathe a sigh of relief.

Here's a decent explanation (visual) of how to do a hard reset : btw, hard reset clearly explained for newbies (such as me)

Hi everybody. I got T-mobile Compact IV, which is repainted version of HTC diamond. I want to get this official rom from 2009-01-16, though my serial number doesn't get accepted on the webpage as t-mobile is the owner of this rebranded phone and it has some features restricted. Could you send me the ROM somehow to eric.faddeev@gmail.com or share a serial number so I can download it myself? I would appreciate any response or recomendation.

I have the same problem after update new fw.

I can downgrade to 1.93xx, but the new fw doesn't work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] icrazy:
Many people were having this problem , and it was answered a lot of times , is faster to search/read than making a new topic and waiting answers .. just my opinion , anyway here is your answer .

To avoid the 270 error , that 2.03 official wwe gives at the time follow this flashing method:

1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file

2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH

3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)

4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)

5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons

6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade

7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device

8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

OK. May I ask what to do AFTER I am receiving the error? Unfortunately I didn't read this post above BEFORE trying to update. Now the phone is stuck in bootloader mode and I don't know how to copy the .nbh file to it's internal memory since that memory is not accesible from PC. Should I try to update to a previous firmware, make de steps above ad retry?

Later Edit: I did it as I said before. Flashed another ROM (that went OK), now I'm copying the DIAMIMG.NBH on the Internal Memory and try as described above. Hope this time is working.

Later Edit 2: The update succeded, now the phone is setting up. Thank you. Though, I'm wondering if there was another metod of copying the NBH file without flashing another ROM

Hello all,

i decided to update, as all of us and i got the 270 EROR

So i was stuck and the device was not responding.

What i did was to switch it off by taking the batery out...

When i started it again i got the same preloader colour screen. I hoocked it on the USB cable again and started the update yet again.

Everithing was perfect this time, so i suggest you do the same as i did.

btw, i think its working slower now...

Greetings,

I have seen some great stuff out of this forum and I am going to be updating my APPLICATION GUIDE sometime today. Today I would like some insite on some memory help. When I start my device it has about 8M - 12M of free memory to programs. Here is the list of running apps on startup.

AutoShortcut.lnk (Not sure what this does)

Call Block Startup.exe (Not sure how to get rid of this)

CommLoader.exe (Pocket Controller)

FingerMenu.lnk (FingerMenu)

FTouchSL.link (FTouchSL)

GAlarm Reload.lnk (G-Alarm)

GeraldCallerLocation (Gerald Call Locater - would like to know how to get rid of message telling me its started)

iLock2.lnk (S2U2)

notiweather.mscr (S2U2 Weather)

poutlook.lnk (Not sure what this does)

QuickMenu.lnk (Quick Menu)

SIPCHange.lnk (SIPChange)

Now I would like to know how to get more memory to run programs. If anyone can answer the questions above that would help. I also have Oxios Memory installed and I constantly have to use it to free up some memory. Does anyone have any other ideas to get more juice out of the memory?

Thanks.

I stumbled on this post while searching info for Autoshortcut.lnk and then I found this on post # 2. So just in case you're still working on it. By the way, I only use S2U2 when triggered by a button, so I removed ilock2.lnk from the STARTUP folder.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
JukEboXAuDiO, I sent you a PM the first time you asked a question in the Development and hacking thread. i asked you politely to refer your queries to the Q&A section (where you actually have a thread of your own and you STILL don't know the rules, or ignore them). Then you asked a question again, and I again asked you nicely to stop.

Now I don't tend to write in such a personal note unless it is in a private message, but since you ignored both my previous PMs, I will make this one public.

Next time you ask a question in the Dev&Hack section will result in a ban, so please refer your questions to the Q&A section next time.

THANK YOU
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
This might sound like a silly suggestion, but you could try to remove the program links from \Windows\Startup (do it via ActiveSync if you cannot use File Explorer to remove them). Another good way of gaining some ram would be to either get rid of some Ramdisk (if your device has any) or maybe make the pagepool a tad smaller.

S2U2 takes a big toll on memory consumption, so that is one that you do not want in there in the first place. Hope this helps...

Ive checked like crazy in my settings...

Someting must be wrong because when i check email in my rose (its a hotmail account) it refuses to use the wifi connection. Even if im in an area where i have NO signal on the cell, it tries to connect with gprs/3g and then failes since theres no signal, but i have signal on wifi of course..

But if i turn phone off in comm manager, then it works over wifi!

its strange because i only notice this behavior with the email, not when using internet explorer or updating weather..

In Comm Manager, Data Connection is always on?
[S740, S743 General] networkguy:
I might have an answer to this.

When using Activesync to connect to an Exchange server where push email is switched on (rather than checking for email every X minutes), the only connection used will be the phones data connection (so GPRS/3G etc) and WiFi will NOT be used. This is normal operation for Windows Mobile and Activesync.

If you set the phone to check for mail every X minutes and wifi is available, it will use that instead.

In both of the above cases, other connections (such as browsing etc) will happily use wifi if it is available.

Now I am not sure how hotmail is set up these days but I do know it delivers emails as they arrive so would put $10 on it being the same thing as when using Exchange.
