** EDIT **
Aplogies for not crediting ncruz as the one who edited the original files and got this working in the first place!
As per his instructions, and to make everything a bit easier for everyone, I have updated the Himalaya cab file with his updated files
** EDIT **
Thanks to TofClock for the making the cab file! I've just taken his instructions and made them a little easier to follow, I hope he doesnt mind
The Arcsoft mms composer has been extracted from the Universal rom and a cab file was cerated to work with WM 5.0 Blueangel devices.
However this cab won't install on Himalaya devices.
This is because of the following two files
ArcMMS.dll cause the install stop wis message : bla bla bla not digitally signed bla bla bla
RcDll.dll cause the install stop and prompt to install in another place , and again , and again .
TofClock has created his own cab file (which I have now updated to ncruz newest versions) with all other files and reg settings ...
Attached to this post is are two RAR files containing a cab file and 2 dll files.
To install, follow these instructions :
1. Download Himalaya_WM5_MMS.part1.rar and Himalaya_WM5_MMS.part2.rar from this post.
2. Decompress the rar file on your PC using winrar or something similar
3. Soft reset your Himlaya
4. Copy RcDll.dll and ArcMMS.dll to your Windows directory on your Himalaya
5. Copy the cab file to your Himalaya and install it.
6. Soft-reset your device again
7. After this , go the messaging application. click on Inbox you should see a new account there called MMS.
If not click on Menu>Tools>New Account
Create a dummy email account (it doesn't matter what info you fill in, just make it up) but at the Account information select MMS as the account type and click next.
Then finish going through the account creation, again for the server information making anything up.
8. Once that is completed clock on Menu>MMS Configuration then click the servers tab.
9. From here fill in your operators server settings (remember to set it as default!) and enjoy MMS on WM5.0!!
Again thanks sooo much for everyone's hard work in getting this working, especially ncruz for the initial work and the BA cab and TofClock for making the Himalaya cab file.
Great, just another thing, thoose files aren't from universal.
First, thoose files are from MY POST, i've reshacked thoose files for qvga devices, so it really pisses me off when people take credits for things they don't to.
Second, at least use my latest rcdll.dll see my post at BA forum.
The one that's in THAT cab has some huge icons. and i have hacked it a little bit more.
Third, i've already resolved the problem of having to create the account by hand.
So, if you really want to do the thing right, get the cab at my post, open wincecab editor, remove rcdll.dll and arcmms.dll, install the cab, then copy the files you've just removed and copy them to \windows.
PS: you can check the original files from universal and see that they aren't the same.
everythin is done as explained before, and no mms account appears
please help me
THankssss
Working with WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE_XDA2_HIMALAYA
thanks mjames_84 for update the cab
GREAT THANKS to ncruz for your good job , without it , i never should made this cab
paketecuento -
Have you tried this previously using ncruz manual installation?
I had trouble with that method and once I tried it even after I used the cab file it wouldn't work I had to hard reset my device and do it again.
If you did try the manual install first then you may have to do the same, it certainly worked for me anyway.
As his cab file worked great once I had removed the two dll files and had done a hard reset.
Of course if you havn't tried the manual installation previously then it could be anything you might need to give more info on what ROM version you're using, software you have installed etc...
working 100%, once updated to 1.60c....
It's strange. On my device every time I try to install the cab file I get an error message while installing. I follow the instuctions as described...
Has anybody dealt with it?
Same problem here
Get a error when I start installing. Says that I should try a different location. I"ve tried my SD and PPC. Nothing works.
Download here
It's worked with my WM5V.1.60c!!!
But i use .dll files from mjames_84 and use .cab file from TofClock. I can send and recieve my MMS!!!
Thank you
I too tried mjames files and had problems.
However I also left mjames .dll files there deleted his cab file and used TofClocks' cab file and I now have working MMS.
Thanks all!
the dll in archive with my cab are same of mjames dll and ncruz dll , i've updated the rar
Hello, thank you for the great work!
But i have a problem, no way to getting it to send messages through Vodafone italy, i had already a Vodafone MMS connection setted up by my QTEK SD Configuration wizard (dloaded from dangaard site) which worked with WM 2003 but i have no way of getting it to work in WM 2005, i keep getting the error message that my mms has not been sent. Anyone can help me please?
Thank you very much
By the way, since i almost haven't any programming skill i have Eng/Ita translation skill ^_^, so if u are interested in translating the WM2005 ROM to ITA let me know, i can help ^_^

Hey guys I would love to make some OEM packages from Cabs, but when I try InitFlashFiles Generator it just exits and doesn't work. So how do I create initflash and .rgu s ?
Important is how do I create the .rgu names? Just random? The initflash is not a problem!
Problem solved: http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen
you could try ervius package creator
Yeah I tried that before, but it exits with an error! It's ok now, I just create the initflash manually!
I would love to use it, but when I extracted the cab with MSCEInfen.exe and close it, I get an error and the initflashfiles tab doesn't open when I click continue and I can't open it manually! It looks like the same error you get when you open it! Any ideas?? It is a pain to create all by yourself!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1761005&postcount=405
try that link, i think it might be his latest creator judging by the date
so here is what i do to use the program
i run the creator in its folder or by a link
i place my cabs in a different folder
click on open cab
browse for the cab
click on extract cab (zip icon without any extras on it)
click ok
click msce icon (running green man icon)
change options or click done
change options or click complete package
and that should be it hopefully
Thank you very much, this one works very good. With the last version I had an error with this one it works!
I have been using many kitchens over the past year. Cooking horrible roms, decent ones and now a pretty good one. My problem was always the various tools lying all over my hard drive. Luckily I came across this litte gem by Ervius
Package Tools and BuildOS rolled into one. I also noticed that it handles rgu files much better than the previous BuildOS, it choked on an incorrect rgu file. Which in turn allowed me to get Video working in HTC Album 2
I have modified the batch files for our Wizards and have been cooking and im loving it
PackageTools+BuildOS (Latest combined version)
rgu-2-xml : Convert .rgu to provxml files
SYSVersion : Generates a version list of your SYS Folder
All the usual build tools :G'Reloc, M'Reloc, ImgFS Tools
AllPackagesToOne - Protect your rom from being ripped apart and the whole world being able to share in your utter cooking brilliance, via a tickbox ofcourse
Automatic Find and Fix duplicate file errors during BuildOS process
More features which I am either too lazy to list or dont use at all
Just add SYS,ROM and OEM folders. It also have a nice feature which allows you to select OEM Packages and save it as a preconfigured rom. Extra OEM packages can be placed in a Packages folder. BuildOS will load those files also (No more OEM's all over your hard drive).
BuildOS also runs G'Reloc during the dump process, but for good measure I also included it in the batch file.
Also added -conservative to the Imgfs Tools portion of the script to protect against overcook
BuildOS generates pretty log files which shows where stuff went wrong
Extract the zip file. Run Kitchen.exe and watch the magic at work.
Note
For some reason the output window text is black on a black background, but at the top is a nice running status. If not sure just hilight the output window.
If you start up and It complains about folders just create them

Thanks for great kitchen.

It does, in the prettiest little tick box you have ever seen, just below the Output Window. One of the really cool features of this version of BuildOS is the ability to scan for and fix duplicate files
sounds really impressive! downloading...
I'll recook my rom with it and let you know how it went
where should I extract this kitchen?
Error: pkgdll is missing
Never mind. copied it to the same folder as the kitchen.exe
I cant cook... .net problems
Many problems with the kitchens... why I cant install .net frameworks more than 2.0 that i have why... cause It said on every reinstalation missing file the installer will be quit! GOD DAmn... I think I need to reformat my PC and almost backup 40 GB info or... does anybody has an utiliti that erase all of anay program that stucks on uninstall or repair or install? i need to kill those .Net frameworks.

What OS are you running on your pc ? .net 2.0 and higher really like XP Sp2. Do a google search for CCleaner and "Uninstall Utility" this might help before you format dude.
Errors I am facing:
can not find \ROM folder
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.Payload
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.extra
BuildOS: Error, can not find ROM Folder!!!
Where are these files supposed to go? can you provide a tree map?
Can you also tell me what exe opens what file?
I'm almost having to pour cold water over my self
The main issue is not knowing where the ROM folder is supposed to go.
Also, not being able to see what the thing is doing (black on black) is really frustrating me also.
When you get a chance, let me (us) know how to use this cooker. it looks like it can do a lot more than I'm used to... but at the moment I am finding it useless.

I really wish I could decompile and just fix the black on black issue. Coz it is a simple case of just changing the font. Unfortunatly it is not written in .net like the previous BuildOS, so no luck there
This should be your default layout:
Base Folder-
->Compile Tools (OS.nd encoding tools)
->Flash (Created by Batch file, your new OS.nd ends up here)
->OEM (I like to put the BASE OEM Folders in here OEMAPPS etc)
->Packages (This is where I drop my custom OEM folders)
->ROM (OS.nb XIP,romhdr.bin lives here)
->SYS (Yeah well we know this one)
The error you are getting is when you try and extract a rom with Package Tools in the kitchen. Here is the procedure:
Create a base folder, I normally use Base_Buildnumber_Device
Select your Dump Type in the bottom check boxes, either a folder where you have already dumped a rom or an *.nb,*.nbf type file
Start your kitchen and select Open on the Package Tools tab.
Browse to the folder you have just created select the folder of rom file based on the above selection
Package tools will now extract the rom and create OEM and SYS Folders if possible
In case of cooking which I believe you are after:
Create the above folder structure with all files in place
Select BuildOS tab
Click Load Rom
Edit OEM's etc and just press Go

Yeah I realised now that when I zipped up the Kitchen I left pkgcommon.dll in the Tools folder, this should be copied to the same folder as Kitchen.exe.
Your error however comes from me not stating the .net Framework 2.0 or highers is required. I take these for granted since I have Visual Studio installed on my machine anyway
I have this comm manager that I found from the forums a while back.. It was made my MFRAZZ... This installs correctly and works fine... However, I wanted to change the color of the buttons from blue to a maroon color that fades to black to match the theme on my phone
I opened the cab file and found quite a few files and an XML file... I found out the the other files were actually .png files renamed. I renamed them to ] .PNG and used Gimp to edit the pictures. I then renamed the files back to the origional file extension and used winrar to make it back into .cab.
I have a pic of the comm manger below, a pic of the error message and a pic of my current theme listed below. I also have the comm manager made by MFRAZZ and the comm manager I have edited attached below. They are clearly labeled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe you could enlighten me on what I did wrong.
This is not an issue where the comm manager is open or running in the background. I think I might have done something to the files when editing them to change their colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Picture titled Comm manager: This is the comm manager successfully installed to my device. This shows the blue Icons which I have changed to maroon.
Picture titled Unsuccessful: Error when I try to install the new edited comm manger.
Cab file titled Touch Comm Manager: The blue comm manger made by MFRAZZ
Cab file titled Comm Manager Maroon: The comm manager that I edited the picture colors and which will not install to my Device.
Help??
So no one interest in helping someone out?
you cant simply repack the cab with winrar , you need to sign the Comm Manager with Certificates, search the ofrum for msigner, download it and sign the comm manager with it and then hopefully you'r good to go
Do i run msigner on the cab file or do i run it on the individual files packed into the cab file? thanks
Msigner
Alright, this is what i got when using msigner on the cab file as well on the individual files inside of the cab file.... Looks like I'm doing something wrong.. Heres the error message
Error: Signing Failed. Result = 800b0003, (-2146762749)
I only found 2 threads on this error message while using msigner. Neither one was successful at helping me with my issue.
Thanks in advance
I searched some other forums on signing cab files as well as my best friend.... GOOGLE. It appears that im going to need a windows mobile 6 sdk and a program called MSDN.. Is this correct? Is there an easer way to do this?
i think it misses the Certificates, make sure you dnt take the EXE out of its root folder
Use MSCEinf to dump the CAB file (7th button from the left on the toolbar), then edit the PNGs, then repack the CAB with Cabwiz:
cabwiz "fullpath\filername.inf"
Cabwiz is included with XP, but if you can't find it, you can get it here.
the CAB does not have to be signed, and since you're not editing the EXE, it doesn't have to be signed either.
Thanks to Benthon for his wonderful MSCEinf. A free program that he continually updates for the benefit of us WinCE users.

Ok...
I have a folder on my desktop thats says Msigner. When I open it up, I see a file that says Ssigner.exe. I can click on that and it opens up but it wont let me write a certificate to my cab file. there is also a yellow folder that is labled tools..... It has a quite a few dll files in it.
Any help would be appreciated
Joemanb,
thanks for the software. Tried it out and it wont open up my cab file that I created. however it will open up the origional cab file... Maybe i did something wrong haha.....
*Update*
I used the program in the last post. it wouldnt readthe cab file that I created but It read the origional cab file from MFRAZZ. I put the origional cab file from MFRAZZ into the program and extracted the files.
It extracted all the files into the correct file format. All my pictures were .png. I thought I was on the right track. I went aheadand edited all the pictures to make them the colors I wanted them to be. I also saw a .mui file... and I saw comm.exe. I expect thats the comm manager. There is not .xml fle now.
How to I repack all of this back into a cab file?
Thanks in advanced
Instructions on how to create the CAB are in my first post :
then repack the CAB with Cabwiz:
cabwiz "fullpath\filename.inf"
Cabwiz is included with XP, but if you can't find it, you can get it here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type the command at a DOS prompt: 'fullpath' is the full path to the folder you dumped the CAB to, and 'filename.inf' is the name of the .inf file created when you dumped the CAB. Don't forget the quotes.
J03M4N
Sorry. I get a little ahead of myself. This is my first go at making a cab file. if all goes well i might do this more.
Nice I read on later and back tracked. I noticed that the link provided takes me to msdn's website with a title of Cabwiz(PPC Only) there is no download option. IS cabwiz built into the Windows Mobile 6 sdk?
Thanks in advanced again
ok im slowly getting this.... HaHa. I used command prompt and cabwiz. I took the inf file and pasted it into the folder that was dumped from the other program. I typed it in like this in command prompt.
cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\windows\maroon_comm_manager.inf"
it kicked back with this error message...
Error: section [CEStrings] key"installDir" - data value must be an absolute path, or must start with a supported windows CE DirID <of the form %CEx%>
confused on this, maybe a little light shining on this might help.. Any Clues?
Heres an attachment of what I have so far...
you shouldn't have to move or copy the .inf, it should already be in the folder you dumped the CAB to.
It dumped a folder on my desktop callled windows. The comm manager.inf file was dumped on my desktop next to the yellow folder called windows. what you are saying is to do this
in command prompt, navigate to the cabwiz file. Type in cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\windows" for the filename and just leave the .inf file on the desktop?
What to type exactly in command prompt is what is confusing me.
Thanks
Ok... I got frusturated with the .cab making process. I just took the pictures for the comm manager that I edited in GIMP and dropped them in my windows directory of my device.
It will keep me happy for now.
Below is my comm manager now and my theme on my phone which i created for Manila 2D
I'd like to help but it's hardfor me to describe it in english(my english is poor).I suggest that you can open it by winrar,see what it likes.And you can search it on google.
I appreciate everyones help.
I used WinCE to unpack the .cab file. It left me with a windows folder on my desktop with a bunch of .png files. I edited those from blue to the maroon fading black. The windows folder also had a .dll file a .mui file and the comm manager.exe file.
Next to the yellow windows folder I saw a .inf file which was dumped from the origional cab file. I expect this was the .xml installation file that was packaged in the origional cab.
Heres what I did. I searched and found Cabwiz and a few other cab making programs. I tried them all out with no success. I keep trying to use cabwiz as I fell it will do what I want. The only think is, I get an error when using Cabwiz which is in an earler post.
For now I gave up.... I just took the .png files that I edited in Gimp and copied them over to my windows Directory on my phone. I soft reset and the icons on my comm manager are the way that I want them to be
If someone could help me actually in the making of this file or just get me back on my feet and try again. I want to understand what it is that I am doing wrong.
Thanks
use the path to the .INF file like I said....
if you dumped the stuff to your desktop (WHY?) then your path to the inf file is:
"d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\maroon_comm_manage r.inf"
so your command line is:
cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\maroon_comm_manage r.inf"
why you stuck 'windows' in your path I don't know since that is NOT the path to the .INF file. The Windows folder was dumped along with the .INF file, but it was NOT the folder you dumped the CAB to. the Folder you dumped the CAB to is the folder you select after clicking the seventh button from the left in MSCEinf. Obviously you just selected the folder that was presented to you in the dialogue (Desktop) instead of navigating to a work folder and dumping it there.
I did NOT say to navigate anywhere after going to the command prompt (Cabwiz is in the system path). Nor did I say to move or copy anything.
You're reading alot into what I've said, and that seems to be your problem.
I tried searching, found this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.
My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.
Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs ..
There is a way.
run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.
Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?
I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!
if u got activesync installed on your PC, run the exe files and find the .cab files on program files/microsoft activesync folder
semoga berhasil
Thank you. Terima Kasih Will give it a try
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..
WinRAR (rarlabs.com) is free and will extract most files from EXE installer archives. However, if WinRAR won't then UniversalExtractor will. You can search for it on google and download a demo.
THANK YOU
Thanks to all who has responded.
I managed to find the CAB files under PC's respective folders (Some are under Active Sync, some like Holux, created it's own folder). Tested some of the CABs found there and it worked. Now I'm a happy camper, got all of the CABS that I need (especially GPRS Monitor )
Last question:
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

I always do this to extract cab files from a exe installer and most of the time the cab file can be found at windows/appmgr/install
very useful and a serious time saver
Sticky or Wiki?
Thanks again for responses. I'm able to get what I need and believe this can be put as part of FAQ, Wiki or Sticky?
Sticky no.. but i will add it to the guides thread soon..
