i hope this doesn't sound stupid, but once i download the cab file, where am i supposed to put it in my phone, storage card, windows directory? 1 slap to myself for being such a newbie
When i download the cab file i open it with win zip which it shows the exe file as an .xml and then I transfer it to my storage card and try to run it and it tries to open opera???

It doesn't matter where you put the .cab on your device (I have all of mine to my storage card). Once it is on the device navigate to the .cab and run it, it will install to where ever it belongs.

Instead of using winrar to extract the files from the .cab file, just save the .cab file itself onto your card and run it from your phone. Hopefully this isn't a case of the noob leading the noob, but I think that's how you do it.
Please do a little leg work before posting.
Spoon feeding is not tolerated.
i know this is probably a stupid question, but i cannot get cab files onto my pocket pc. i have read and it says that all i should have to do is copy it from my comp. and paste it in a folder in my phone. do i have to have a sd card to do this, becuase while using active sync it will not let me do it at all. i am very very new to this stuff so please no bashing and any help would be great.
in activesync click "explore" and find where you want to drop the files then drag it over or copy and paste it.
thanks joel i have tried that and when i drag it over it shows as an circle with an line through and it will not let me put it in there maybe i am not extracting it properly or something i dont know.
there is nothing to extract, its drag and drop. Try copy and pasting. (also, make sure the device is still connected)
first of all, tell us which device do you have and which windows are you runnig on it?
second of all, tell us the enviroment of your computer, that is the Operating system (vista, xp or linux?)
the overall process should really be easy, copy the cab, click explore and click the "my documents" folder, right click and selct Paste, thats it...browse the location you pasted the CAB File from your pocket Pc and install it
Here is a more detailed instruction on how to install a CAB :

ok im trying to change the font color on my today screen (tf3d) for my sprint htc touch pro. i have tryed editing the manila files but it will not let me save to the windows folder on the device. please help me i have spent hours trying to get this to work.
try total comander to copy the files, file in the windows directory a readonly but total commander will overwrite them
make sure to back up the original file in your pc
the device doesnt show up on total commander if i switch the device to read as disk drive insted of active sync i cant access the windows folder when i try to drag files into the devices windows folder it say file could not be placed on device. You do not have permission to create this item how do i change my permission on the device
total commander is an app thats ran on the phone. its like file explorer but more funcions
you do not thave to use the phone as storage
basically use total commander to highlight the files u need to be placed and then itll give aprompt about overwriting read only files
i think i may be making some progress i will let you know if i have any more question or how it turn out ty
no problem
you wouldnt happen to know what manila file the tf3d today font is in would you i beleive it is in 1c684cd8 but im not sure
i have no idea, im just started using th eHTC after using the omnia for a good whikle
no progress i lied if someone could plz give me detailed information of what manile file the tf3d today font color is in what and how to change this would be much appreciated
well try th diamond section there is an app that ll do it possibly a guide
Really hoping this isn't one of those annoying noob questions, just spent an hour searching but can't find the answer.
Earlier today I decided to have my first go at modifying a .dll file (shellres.dll.0409) just a minor change to some of the display text. Managed to extract it (using Windows Explorer) unsign it, make the change, resign it, and overwrite it by copying it to my SD Card and pasting into Windows with RescoExplorer. All good.
Unfortunately, after a soft reset, my phone (HD2 stock 1.66 ROM) got stuck at the windows screen while booting. Tried reset 2 or 3 times but the only thing I could do was a hard reset.
Phone is now back to stock and working fine so I thought I would have another go at changing the .dll file.
I now can't even extract the file.
Dragging it to the desktop (which worked earlier) using Windows explorer gives an "Access Denied" error message. Copying it with RescoExplorer and trying to past it to the SD Card also gives the same "Access Denied" message??
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what has changed?

Hi there,
I am writing to look for kind help from you guys on the i601 which was wrongly updated with a i608 ROM and was caused to possess no phone function at all, though it can be powered on to the home screen with some basic functions like file exploring. Now it has no phone function, and lots of other functions like power signal, user configuration menu, and etc. are not working either. The worst is it doesn't respond when I connect it with my PC via ActiveSync (seems the USB port is not funcitoning as well).
I'm not sure what kind of information should be given to let you guys better understand the symptoms but here is a few of information that might be a little bit insightful:
By keying in *#1546792*#:
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Radio Version 0
RIL Version 2.002
... ...
By entering into Setting mode:
PDA Version
i608ZTGI2
Phone Version
(it is left blank )
Eboot Version
i608ZTGI2
I would love to see if you can shred me a light if and how I can fix it. All kind of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Thorn_pl,
I am always grateful and thankful to see a reply from someone who are trying to help others. Thanks a lot in advance for your kind advice.
To be exact, now the phone cannot be recognized by ActiveSync after plugging in through the USB port. I check through the files inside the phone and found that many sub-folders under Windows are empty, such as:
/My Device/ConnMgr
/My Device/Documents and Settings/default
/My Device/Documents and Settings/Samsung
/My Device/Program Files/Connections
/My Device/Windows/Activesync/ (only one file named CtrlLog)
/My Device/Windows/Systems/ (only some empty folders like CertDtls, ConfigMgr, DumpFiles, SQM, CabQueue)
Can someone be kind enough to teach me how to at least make it connectable with ActiveSync so that I can try flashing again a ROM to this phone?
Also if it can be done, I need to locate where i601 ROM would be available.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Thorn_pl,
Sorry for bothering you again, would you tell me what you mean by wce downloader? Is it a program that I can use in my case? Where can I find this program?
What is BootLoader mode?
Where can I download official i601 ROM? I tried to search on web but couldn't find any info about this strange version - i601.
Thanks again.

Hi dermann,
Thankyou for the reply.
The first headache to me is now my PC doesn't recognize the phone through the USB port. I have been looking around on the web and found some Samsung USB Driver files and had them installed in my PC. But it doesn't help at all, my phone cannot be recognized correctly (a few times it was recognized as Unknown Device). So when I power on my phone on BL mode and link it with WCEDownloader trying to flash, the START button is disabled.
I don't know if there can be solutions to make my PC recognize the phone again and am really frustrated at the moment. The only good thing is now I basically know how to flash a Samsung mobile phone and have collected bunches of ROMs and software.
See if someone know how to troubleshoot it.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
ok I have an idea... but I'm at work at the moment. when I get home I'll see if my idea does anything. I'll let you know.
edit!!! was just thinking. what os is your computer running? xp, vista, w7...
if your phone comes up as unknown device, that's better than nothing. here's what i'm going to do... i'll up load the usb drivers from my 607, and we'll see if that changes anything.
edit#2!!! ok here they are, along with the usb registry. put .dll's in windows folder on phone and import the .reg using a registry editor. soft reset after you do all that. let me know how things go.

Hi dermann,
Thanks for the valuable advice.
My PC is running on XP.
Last night i just uninstalled all the SAMSUNG USB Drivers I installed with the following driver pack I could located on earth:
Samsung CDMA Driver
Samsung Composite Drivers
Samsung USB Driver MCCI 4.34 WHQL
Samsung CDMA Modom 4.34
etc. etc.
Typically a shoot in the dark. Haha...
Now I will try to re-install them one by one to find out actually which one would be that particular driver that did at least recognize an "unknown device" (if I have luck... haha...) and make it a likely viable connection first.
There is another symptom that I didn't mention before, and it is that the phone cannot read the Micro SD card, not sure if it is me that I don't know how to explore the content on the card or it is the phone that it card-reading function is disabled as well (It is always strange when I explore the content in different folders and find out many system folders are empty... as I said before).
Let me spend some time on "wrestling" with the USB connection symptom first and the next is to see if I can make something out with your attached file.
Wish me luck.
Millions thanks again to you dermann. Will keep you posted of my status until I officially announce it a brick. Haha...
Have a nice day!
Hi Dermann,
Yet I cannot find the right USB Driver to install on my PC running XP, though the phone can read the MicroSD card now. Unfortunately after I copied all your files in the card (putting into a sub-folder), the phone can show only one file named USB, all the dll's files are now shown. And therefore I cannot really copy them into the Windows folder as you recommended. Do you know what would be the cause to this situation and how I can tackle this issue.
Anyway, it is a step closer. Thanks again and look for your generous advice.
Have a nice day.
ok, if you can install programs. try installing another file explorer like Resco Explorer, or one like it. if you use the the original explorer than the files will be hidden.

I will find this program and try installing into my phone right after I get back home tonight. Got to go. Time to relieve myself from this headache... Haha...
Thanks again for your prompt reply. And will get back to you tomorrow and hopefully you still have patience to help someone who is not very smart and savvy with technical stuffs like me.
Have a nice day.

Hi dermann,
I copied the unzipped folder to the root directory of my MicroSD card, run the "Explorer" and now it can display the content inside folders. However, the strange thing is:
I copied the unzipped files you gave me yesterday into the MicroSD card, when I use the new explorer to browse the files, still only the one named "USB" is shown and all the dlls files are hidden. I can see them only when I use the "Find" Command in the menu of Explorer (find *.*). By doing so they can be visible together with that USB file in the same folder. Unfortunately in the "Find" Menu I cannot find any command such as COPY or CUT so that I can copy them into the /Windows as you instructed.
So now I am kind of stuck at how to copy these files into the folder of \Windows.
Would love to get some kind advice from you.
Thanks a lot.
ok, sorry for the late response. just getting off a 14 hour work day. ok the file explorer... head to menu\options\general\browser, and uncheck everything. then head to the folder you have the files in and click action left soft key, and their is the copy, move, ect.. to move everything over at once click your star key "*" and check mark all the files, then copy or move them. you'll want to overwrite the files that are already their.

Dear Dermann,
Thanks for your generous advice.
The EXPLORER works exactly the way you told me. Now I've succeeded into copying all the files (named USB and the other 5 dlls files) into my phone's /WINDOWS folder.
But I cannot quite understand the next step you wrote "... and import the .reg using a registry editor..." How can it be done or it has been done already by copying all the files into /WINDOWS folder?
Maybe you can advise the next step when you are free. Sorry to have bothered you with this. You needn't give me reply when you are busy with your work or enjoy your leisure time. Just write me when you are really free and don't have better things to do, I can wait very patiently.
Thanks again and you have a nice weekend.

Thanks so much for your kindness.
Actually after my post Dermann was kind enough to help me by sending me a CAB file that would let me "import" the registry into the system of my phone. I guess it did import the registry successfully. Unfortunately, after copying all the dll files and importing that particular registry, it didn't change the overall picture - my phone still cannot be recognized when connecting via the USB port, just "Unknown Device" is shown.
It is still a deadlock to me.
Anyway, thanks for the offer and I appreciate it very much.
Thanks.

i think the only option that's left is to go to a samsung service center! they have the hardware for it to restore your device to the original firmware!
