Help! Urgent! No File Explorer - HTC Tornado

I'm running WM6 on my c2125 and I'm trying to isntall the EnglishxT9 pack but there is no file explorer on my phone?
Any ideas or ways around this?

Two solutions:
Download and install an explorrer app...
There's an app that will allow you to right click cabs on your PC and install them via activesync. I just can't remember the name; if you find it, let me know.

OK FIXED:
It's my phone but my gf's sister is using it in China. The sim card she put in was disabling the file explorer so we took it out and installed it.

How can I copy a ringtone from ROM? (or help me find classic.wma please!)

Hi,
I really miss the classic.wma ringtone from my old SPV C500 and would love to use it on my VOX but if I try and copy it using explorer it won't let me as the ringtone is in ROM.
Is there any way to get around this? Or does anyone have a copy of this file?
Thanks
Marc
tried total commander?
tried copying it using explore device from the pc while the pda is connected to activesync ?

Haven't tried TC (but will give it a go!), but it is when I try copying it through Activesync that it complains and won't let me do it.
Got it!
File manger let me copy it to the storage card.
Exploring via activesync still couldn't get it off, but after a hunt for a miniSD card adapter I finally read it in my PC and pulled it off.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Cab-file creation question.

Hi,
I have a question. I have for example SPB Mobiele Shell. We all now this has to be installed via a PC and i needs a serial to install. I have the program and the serial and i would like to make a cab-file of this 2. I have a program to make cab-files, WinCE CAB Manager. Can anyone explain to me how i can do this? I like to have this on my SD-card and like to install it from there in case of emergency's. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thx
many activesync install exe's
can be renamed to zip and one can out the cab files
give it a try

Tried that but no luck. I think this is not what i mean. I would like to turn this exe into a CAB and the key included. So when i install the Cab i don't have to register.
one would think the program maker took precautions to make that impossible otherwise your cab could be distributed as a pretty easy free version
you can try to single out what files it depend
on and make a cab file from cratchs
and if the exe or dll files got alter when the serial was given
that cab would be reg'd
otherwise you would have to find out what registries was altered in the
serial process and make a reg which which did those alterations
and get the cab file to run it
Most installations that require you to install through activesync end up leaving a cab file behind. Check Program Files\Activesync\SPB... for the cab file. If it is not there restart the installation but after you have executed the setup file leave it alone and search for the cab file again. I hope this is what you were looking for
ALL exe that install via activesync have a cab, some are hidden in the profiles temporary files, some auto-delete once installed, so leave the application hanging in the install and do a search for recent files and sort by date/time (remember to allow it to scan hidden and system folders). a lot go into the activesync directory, some go into program files, i have even found some that go into the internet explorer temp files, install, and then delete themselves. The most common hiding place is your computers profile temp folder --- typically found under
C:\Documents and Settings\PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp
just dig around, its not to difficult once you find the 3 most basic hiding places.
good luck.

You can simply download the CAB files from SPB site directly.

I have run into a similar situation where my installation was failing due to the huge size of a CAB file.
In my case, the size of the CAB was nearly 23mb and the free storage left was around 26mb. This made the installer fail as it ran out of space midway during the install.
I know one thing for sure was that the PC installers (Exes that would run on the PC that would extract the CAB on the device) would extract the CABs and put them in \windows\appmgr\install folder and would trigger the installer on the device.
So during my second attempt, when the device prompted for installation location "device or storage card", I opened up the explorer on the device (guess you can do the same thing with Windows Explorer since your would stay connected over USB using Activesync) and went into \windows\appmgr\install folder and made a copy of the cab to the storage card (you can copy to your PC as well).
Exited the installer and then installed the cab from the storage card and the installation went fine.
Not sure about how the SPB apps work since there are two options during the PC install. Trail or Registered version. Based on the option chosen, it would either extract the necessary CAB (either trial or registered). I hope it creates a "Registered" version of the app in the CAB after you follow the above steps.
Hope this helps.
PS: I wish that the standard install location on the device "\windows\appmgr\install" be changed to the storage card by some tweaks. So far not successful in finding/getting one.

Now i have everything in registered Cab-files on my SD-card. Now i can make the switch to WM6. I'm dutch and have a P3300 and i guess it will take some time before HTC wil come with a dutch WM6 upgrade, so maybe not the place to ask but do you now where i can find a original English WM6 for the P3300?

Running .cab files and Opera problem help needed

Hi can anyone shed any light on a problem i seem to be having with the TP. I previously had a TytnII and it was straight forward to copy the app to my SD card using WMDC, click on the setup cab and it would install.
On the TP I copy the app to my SD Card using WMDC, click on the cab and opera browser launches with the route to the cab in the address bar and does nothing more...
Am i doing something wrong ?
has anyone else got the same problem ?
does anyone know how to resolve it ?
It's driving me mad there are some great add-ons on this forum and I cant install any of them currently....
Any help is very greatly appreciated!
cab installer
hi, i have the same problem.
try cab installer program(should be somewhere in xda developers)- try search
Hiya, this is my first post so i'm still a bit of a noob but to install a .cab file what i do is copy it to my sd card then using "file explorer" i navigate to my sd card where the .cab file is and i tap the file and it then prompts me to install the said file.

Really simple question

I'm trying to create a program for windows mobile 2003/5.0/6.0 smartphone but I can't for the life of find the File Explorer. I can in 6.0 but where is it in 5.0 or 2003. Please no links to google or "jfgi" responses, I wouldn't be asking if I had yielded any success.
Thanks in advance
Have you tried looking into Total Commander. It is a 3rd party app and is a very good File Explorer for the PPC, I highly recommend it. As for the stock one, it should just be in the program folder, no?
Hope this helps.
PS If you Google Total Commander for Pocket PC, be sure to download and install the PPC version NOT the desktop version.
Nol. It isn't. I can't find the stock file explorer to save my life. Did 5.0/2003 not come with one? Am I so stupid that it's right in front of my face?
on my Jamin beofre i flashed 6.1 rom it had 5.0. I am sure the iexplore.exe was in the windows folder, 99% sure it should be there. I dont have it anymore so i can t check for you, but i have a reasonable memory
Not the internet explorer. File explorer. Or file manager. Either one. Nowhere to be found.

Lol, Ironically, he would need to search the Windows Folder from File Manager, which he doesn't have apparently
Like I suggested, download and install Total Commander. And do it with a .msi over the Activesync cable, because you won't be able to install a .cab from the storage card without a File Explorer. From there, you can then look in File Manager for its own launch program.

THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you. I wasn't sure if it didn't have a file explorer of I was just retarded. Thanks for clearing that up though.

Once you download a .cab file, connect your device to your pc, and copy the cab file to any location you want on your device, disconnect your device from the pc, and then on the device navigate to the folder you copied the .cab file to using the file manager, then just tap on it and follow the instructions
