Hi All,
as many of you, I have converted my Extended_ROM to a bigger Storage folder. Unfortunately I still need most of the software packages that were included into the Extended_ROM. I was looking for an AUTORUN.EXE that could allow me to place my CABs into the \Storage folder and install them after a Hard-Reset. No need to say I didn't find anything that fully complied with my expectations. The only useful thing I found was an autorun.exe that executed from the 'Storage Card'. A quick modification with an Hex Editor led me to the solution. I thought it was time now for me to pay my dues with this forum that has helped me so many times in the past. So here is the file !
Instructions are dummy proof !
Compress all your CABs (Extended ROM and/or other software packages) into a ZIP file (not RAR!) and name it 'ExtendedROM.zip'
Create an Hidden/Read Only folder called 2577 on the root of \Storage.
Copy the ZIP and the Autorun.exe files into that folder.
Hard Reset and watch at you Magician installing all the Cabs for you.
Enjoy !

I have just tried your method and it works!
Thank you very much indeed.
I consider this to be the best companion to the BigStorage. I zipped 14 cab files into a 8.6M zip file. I would save this as backup in my storage card. Next time, after a ROM upgrade, I can simply copy these back to Storage to have a clean and quick installation of the essential files.
By the way, the old trick of skipping the auto installation still works (i.e. soft reset immediately before autorun starts).
Moderator: I would very much recommend to make this a sticky, please.
hi there,
After I read almost all BIGSTORAGE postings here. I feel confident about do it. So few days ago I prepared myself to upgrade my O2mini. When I press "power-on" button + "camera" button + "soft-reset" hole with stylus... my O2mini got hard-reset :evil:
What I did wrong? You guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.[/quote]
You must have missed to press the camera button, just do it again, you should get it into bootloader mode.

Thanks itplanet. I will give it a try again.
Oh! One last thing i forgot to mention:
please ensure that the CABs you are ZIPping are not flagged as READ-ONLY.
Autorun.exe unzips the ExtendedROM.zip file into your PDA memory.
If the content has been stored with the Read only flag set, the cabs will not be deleted just after they've been installed, thus wasting your valuable memory.
Ciao!

Hi all
I posted this in "General" but no one seems to want to answer. Thought I'd try you guys.
I need some files from WM5 QVGA version for my Real VGA hack. Can someone accomodate me?
The files I need are:
browsres.96.dll
coreres.96.dll
exappres.96.dll
instmsgrresources.96.dll
miscres.96.dll
msim.96.dll
officeres.96.dll
outres.96.dll
pegcards.96.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
pptres.96.dll
riresdll.96.dll
shellres.96.dll
shellresapps.96.dll
syncres.96.dll
tapres.96.dll
trares0409.96.dll
tshres.96.dll
Most of these files will be locked so I expect I need someone who knows how to rip the files from the rom image directly (or tell me how to do it).
Thanks for any help.
Does no one want to help? The Universal forum are pestering me to finish this hack but I can't until I get those files.
I'll post a link to a .rar file for you in a few minute ... be patient
Thanks mate.
You are a star.
ok , you can download the archive here
miscres.96.dll , pegcards.96.dll and syncres.96.dll don't exist in my himalaya ... i'have put in the archive the normal dll ...
That is excellent.
I figured that some of the files might not be suffixed with .96 but didn't know for sure.
Once again, thanks for your time on this. Will let you know how it goes.
Hi
I made the silly mistake of not backing up my contacts before updating ROM ( i know... very stupid)
I copied the entire device to computer prior to updating but for some reason, it didnt copy the windows folder from the PDA.
I'm guessing the contacts would have been stored somewhere in the windows folder. I was running WM6.
Have i lost the contacts...? or are they stored in a different location which would have been backed up ?
Thanks
what exactly did you copy?
the following directories and files
Application data
ConnMgr (empty)
Documents and Settings (empty)
Music
My Documents
Program Files
Pim.vol
WMPinfo
Thanks
as far as i know, if i am not wrong, the pim.vol is the one that contain your pim data especially contacts,.
but, you cant just changed it, or replace it, if i am not wrong you need to use mortscript to do that with force deleting the original one and replacing with the new one,.
i will try to look into it, just keep all your data that you have backed up,.
Thank you !
I really appreciate it.
Not yet solved
Note to admin
this topic has not yet been resolved. I simply said thank you to -G- for saying he will look into it.
Thanks

yup... pim.vol can't just be copied inside the root to be read.. it is somehow attached to your system.
BUT, if i'm not mistaken, you can use PIM Backup to load the info from the file.
try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
btw.. i think SPB Backup can read pim.vol as well.
heyy
nope didnt work. i tried both PIM Backup and SPB Backup but neither of them accept the pim.vol as a valid file to restore from.
Actually, you should be able to just do a copy and paste of this file wherever you got it from. Try to use File Explorer (might not work). The option that works best for me with System locked files is via ActiveSync. If it doesn't work, try soft resetting and replace the file right away before the system gets a chance to access the file. Give it a shot, it might just solve your problem.
Alternatively, read this. It pretty much says the same thing that has been said so far...

Good luck to you
strange. i'll get back to you on this..
Im confused.
so will it work to just replace the pim file like egzthunder1 suggested ? Or is that going to mess up contacts completely ?
Go there.. use the emulator.. and get your contacts back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309351
also, please DO try to just put the pim.vol file in your root dir of your device to see if it's movable.. so other people could use that info.
As subject,
i can't see my notes at Program menu, where is it ?
thanks
Finally, i had found my notes at windows folder, but when i click it, it doesn;t give me a response, i think the file had corrupted
So
any ideas to restore it back ? can sameone give me notes.exe and notetake.exe ? i have a plan to copy them into my windows
thanks
case closed
i did a hard reset on my TP
I have some files in /data/data/com.something that are again and again deleted or rather overwritten by a program every time I run it. I'd really love a way to delete protect those files of mine.
Points:
I know that the files are overwritten because they are read only files so the only logical explanation is that they are first deleted and then replaced with a new file.
The files should be prevented from being deleted or edited but I also want that the data still be executable and viewable.
The files are in .XML format.
The name of the files and their current location should not change.
Last but not the least, this change should be reversible.
Can any human being help me achieve this or is this something that only the almighty can do?

Greetings and welcome to assist. If the files are in data then they can be overwritten if they are in system/root then they could only be ovewritten by a root application.
Hope this helps
Good Luck
