update ROM mac OS X - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

Hi
I'm attempting to update the ROM on my Jammin phone but can't seem to work out how this is done without access to a windows computer running activesync. I imagine that what I need is the actual cab file which I'd be able to run on the phone. I've downloaded the ROM (JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.exe). But have been unable to extract the CAB file. Could anyone point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance.

I don't think you can update the ROM with a Mac at all. All update utility are PC application. The ROM file is not a CAB file therefore you cannot extract as CAB file.

Hi
thanks for the reply. I poked around some more but in the ultimately I believe your right. Disappointed, I installed bootcamp/xp and updated the ROM using widows.
It worked.. but I'm starting to miss my treo 600.

.exe extractor for the macintosh

Hey, Guys!
I jumped the ship a while ago from MS and switched to the Mac. I'm currently using PocketMac for my connectivity to my Blue Angel phone and it works fine, except for installing .exe files. Most of the time, it says a .cab file cannot be found within the .exe file. I have no trouble installing .cab files, but I can't always find programs as .cabs. Anyone have any ideas on extracting the .cab files from the .exe to install on pocket pc? I've tried also using Virtual PC, but two problems exist. First of all, the usb connectivity doesn't work well and most of the time, at all, and second, I have Tiger and Virtual PC doesn't work at all on Tiger.
Thanks for any ideas!
Scott
the install exe files are often selfextracting zip files and you can often rename them to zip and copy out the cab file
Thanks, I'll try that!

'ERROR [240] File open'
As anyone got any ideas as to solve this problem?

You most likely need to copy the nk.nbf file into the same directory as the romupdateutility.exe file.
I am having the same problem with my new mda IV compact i have tried to load the rom in every different way but still the same message comes up, i am trying to change radio settings to the 06 version. i have done the spl load but can't do a flash rom. any ideas please
I have the same problem i have installed HardSPL
But when i try to run the roms KaiserCustomRUU this error pops up
is there a certain program i should be using to run it? or did i save it wrong?
Make sure the phone is in active sync mode. My diamond i had this problem then realized that i had it in disk drive mode. switched it back and i was fine.
hey.. problem solved for me.
Click that "View README" button right next to the llast button you click before you get the error.
Where is that file located on your computer? For me it didnt load, but it said "could not find file at c:\windows\system32\readme.doc".
I took the cue, and moved my *.nbh file into the system32 folder. Voila! It was weird because I was running the ruu.exe file from the desktop (on a vista PC). I guess for some reason it was looking in system32??
So give the above a try. Might work for ya
