Hello there, I am fairly new to flashing roms but I feel confident. I have flashed roms before but I do not know how to use the .rar format. I did some resaerch on google, and I found this website:
http://rarlabs.com/download.htm
Can anyone tell me which version I should download from this website to be able to flash this rom: 1.56.405.5 (radio 1.27.12.11) original wwe rom found here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html
I have a brand new AT&T branded Tilt that I want to turn into a TYTN II. I know how to HardSPL and Sim unlock, as well the keyboard issue fix. The only thing stopoping me is the damn .rar file.
The file on the link above is in .rar format and I am not sure how to convert it to .exe format so I can run it as a setup file.
Thanks!!
Firstly, this is a pretty blatantly lazy question. If you would have used google you would have easily found an answer.
.rar has nothing to do with flashing on phones, pda's, etc...
.rar is a data compression type, just like .zip files are. Search google for WinRAR from RAR Labs. RAR files need to be extracted before they can be used. WinRAR can unzip rar files, zip files & mant other formats such as iso files.
I would definitely read up before you flash, because if you ask similar questions, well let's just say around here you'll need asbestos pants.
Good Luck.
Rar is the noise a lion makes as it jumps out from behind a tree and scares you.

I think the quota of dunce caps has been exceeded.. a new batch won't be here for a while.... get your gas cannister topped up for your flamethrower.
Have you been under a rock the last 6 years?!
Convert it to .exe? I suggest your read the ENTIRE Kaiser forum including STICKIES, before you attempt a flash.
But hey give this guy a prop, he manage to download from rapidshare.
A bloody LION????
Where have you been for the past 20 years???
Everyone knows that's the call of pirates!!! RAR, Matey!!!

PMSL AHOY There!!!!
Dude, okay you changed your post I see.
Please go read about the roms. The first thing you need to do is install hardspl. This is before you even think about flashing a rom period. Secondly, why on earth would you want to go from one POS ship rom to another?
Third, Go read the flashing for noobies post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895 (it tells you everything you need & it's not that long; only 36 posts) & then go read about the different roms so you can better select a rom.
Wow, I really took a bashing here. Sorry if I am not up to par with the likes of you all. I'll put on my dunce cap and asbestos pants now.

Are you serious? Do you feel self confident to flash a ROM and you don't know how to extract a file in RAR format?

Don't worry. As long as you read up on all things Kaiser, the burning sensation will fade quickly and quietly...
Didn't know either
and the answer wasn't obvious from a search. but I guess I found it by searching.

Hey I hope after this flame-fest you still decide to stick around. Not all of us are pricks.
Thanks gthing! I'm still here!
I love this forum. I have learn't so much so far, but still have a lot to learn. Epecially programming for WM. Anyway, on to the reason for posting this thread.
Since learning that I could flash from my microSD card thanks to the tutorial by renaming the *.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and placing it in the root folder. I have been making custom 1st splash screens to flash remotely as well as making a directory on my microSd ("Flashing from MicroSD") and creating directories for original roms such as (\WM6 Originals\Alex\KAISIMG.nbh) or (\WM6.1\SleuthV3\KAISIMG.nbh), (I also have KAISIMG for just Radios under a different folder) so when I want to try a new rom, flash a different radio or splash, I can at anytime.
Here's the thing I love using the splash tools (maker and converter) and Rom Builder. But obviously you need a PC. Would anyone by able to recreate a mobile version of these tools so we could do most things (customisation wise) whilst we are mobile.
I.E. I want to make and flash a new splash whilst mobile from a *.jpg. I could use this program to convert to .bmp format needed, then convert to *.nb thsn to *.nbh. I could then use a file manager to rename to KAISIMG.nbh then place in microSD root folder and flash.
What you think? Would this be too hard to do? Anyone want more mobile control of your mobile customisation?
Other tools that could be ported would also help. I make the welcome.96.png with my mobile graphics problems.
Well for the moment I'll stick to making several themed splash into the KAISIMG.nbh to flash remotely (making sure you have enough battery mind/dont flash on 10% or something/I recommend over 10% for mobile flashing your splashes and over 50% for you WM Roms)
Got a collection of around 19 Slide out Keyboard sounds inc Knightrider, Thundercats, Xbox 360 boot sound and others. When I have a couple more made I'll post my Sliding keyboard Sounds.cab if anybody wants it over the next Couple of days. (Some sounds gathered from other users share i.e. Mario etc)
Thanks anyway. Feel free to post your views and look forward to seeing if anyone is up to this challenge..

You pose interesting questions, if you don't get much here, I'd try dropping those ideas into the Development and Hacking forum and see what they think. That's usually where the new programs come from.
And yes, I would at least like to see some funky sounds added to the list of things I put on my Kaiser...
( OMG...Jarek91 didn't have anything snarky to say )
Sound .cab v1 (Keyboard Slideout)
Tried to upload my .cab in both .cab and .zip formats and are well below the file size limits but forum keeps saying failed *.cab or *.zip
Any idea's??
diigiobio
I'd say try a 4shared account or talk to alltheway or HDStreetGlide about tossing it on their 4shared accounts. That seems to be the current way of getting the larger files out there unless you want to use RapidShare or MegaUpload.

You can host your file at either rapidshare or Megaupload or others out there.

Thank you....
I know that I've seen a post (either on this forum or the Diamond one) for removing the envelope in the email preview screen in TF3D. But I saw the post before I got my Fuze and now I really want to get rid of that envelope and can't find the post!
Does anyone else know where this info is or how to do it? I swear I have tried searching but I haven't been able to find it.
Try to un-enable TF3D first, then delete "hh_email_envelope_down.png" and "hh_email_envelope_up.png"

I would check the windows directory... dont quote me on it, but thats the first place i would check
And of course you will need some enhanced windows explorer like total commander or resco explorer to view hidden/system files and to modify rom-files.
file explorer shows all files just click menu 3rd from the top, Show All Files.
i dont think that will work - to my knowledge the built in file explorer won't let you touch files in ROM
Also if you delete these files wont they come back when you restart the device?

Kris, AFAIK you're right twice. But it could be possible replacing the original files with empty ones using Total Commander or some other advanced file explorer. Would be interesting what happens then (but not interesting enough for me to try it myself though )

Not everything of course but files which are stored in the ROM do. They can not be changed, deleted or what so ever but with an enhanced file explorer like total commander or resco explorer you can sort of "replace" those files with a modified version. But again. The original isn't really replaced. Your version will be stored in the RAM and "overrules" the file in the ROM. But if you later on decide to revert back to the original file you just have to delete your modified RAM-file and after a soft-reset the ROM file will be back/visible again.
yea in ROM i meant ...
and instead of replacing the files with an "empty file", it would prob be safer to replace them with a 1x1 totaly transparent png
Thanks for the help and advice but I can't find those files even with resco and total commander. Guess I'll keep searching for that original thread...

Let us know if make any progres with m3d.
a person posted below that if someone can be kind enough to upload all the manila files from their windows folder on their rom then he can create a cab out of them for everybody else to use.
Please please please will someone do this or tell me how to take apart a rom to do it, this would open up 2.6 to most people who own any HTC phone, not just topaz, like me, Rhodium
-- original --
Could someone make a cab version of 2.6 to save having to flash a whole new rom for it, i know someone did it with 2.0
Thanks
Mark
Me too.
Thank you
+1, please!
+1, i like it! i need it! i want it!!!)
for me too please and thanx
but exist cab for manila 2.5 or 2.6..... i have the official rom and i want update manila only...it's possible?????
tnk's
That would be a very great .CAB file if it exists or someone has the knowledge to create it !
+1
... or the OEM package for people like me who, although they have tried until they are blue in the face, just can not create a successful OEM from a CAB.
OEM packages ... one of the banes of my life
i can if someone using the rom just posts the files here..copy all the _manila files frm the wqindows folder and post them here in a zip file
i can make a cab
you can post the zip no cab file pls!?!?

I actually can help but my internet is too slow.
The only thing you need to do is to flash this udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM and then copy the Windows file to storage card, zip it and upload it here or send it to rotastrain to make a cab.
I have udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM, but dont have Topaz, how can i find Manila 2.6 files in this rom without flashing?
ok.......i try copy window folder and zip for you......tnk's
we'll wait, but we dont need all files from windows folder, we need only manila files, i think... tnk's

I flashed my HD2 to the newest official ROM and i discovered that it's not possible to rename and/or delete system files like manila files anymore!
Why is this??
With my old ROM i could rename manila files to *.bak and then delete them using Total commander but with the new ROM this isn't possible! I'm really desperate, I don't know what to do!
Could it be that HTC made the new firmware more secure?
Any solutions???
I found out that I can't copy my welcomehead to the windows folder anymore...it just wouldn't let me...
there has to be a registry entry somewhere, just can't find it at the moment.

I dont have the phone yet or WM6.5 so I cant comment too much but you could try reflashing the rom and see how that affects things. Did you flash the rom using a gold card or just update an official rom?
Hi may i ask where you got this official rom update from? as i have not been able to find it on any htc website

Sorry for hijacking your thread dude! Do what this guy says, try to re-flash your Rom and see if that helps.

Rename your new welcomehead from welcomehead.192 to welcomehead.193 and copy it into the windows folder. Then use the Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (it needs MS Framework 3.5 to be installed to work) and go to Splash Screen. There you have to click the first green entry and change the path from windows/welcomehead.192.png to windows/welcomehead.193.png. Then Softreset. Now you have a new welcomehead, even with new ROM. Have fun!

Make it the way i told you, you don't have to change something in the windows folder to have a new startup screen.
^I did it and it worked great. thanks
But there are some other issues...for example if you want to enable navi panel or hidden games you need to copy some files into the start menu folder but that is not possible because the ROM won't let you.
any solution for the others?
