HTC finally came out with a wm6.1 update for the Telus touch phone.
I cant install the .exe file directly from my phone, and I tried to extract the .cab file, but it's just not installing...
I'm not running the new mac, with the intel processor. So I cant run windows on it.
Any other suggestion for me ?
Put it on a flash drive and install it from Kinkos or the library.
Thanks Balana,
Yep I tried to put it on my flash drive, but i get the message that it is an invalid ppc application.
And what is Kinkos ?
The update exe's don't contain a cab file. They contain an .nbh ROM image. If you extract that file from the exe you can flash it directly from your SD card. I'd suggest looking for specifics in the Upgrades/ROM Development forum of your particular device.
Thank's Bedoig.
Tried everything, finally I had to resort to the ultimate sacrifice... working on a PC ! Flashed my device to wm 6.1 Cant be happier, now I have the GPS on my HTC touch.

hi guys i recently posted a topic on o2 gprs probs. i have found the settings and downloaded them in .cab formatt. but how do i install them on to the fone or if not what folder do they need to be in?
i have placed them inthe ppc files directory and clicked to install bu it displays a message sayin they cant be installed.
cab files can be installed from any location
if they will not install maybe their are currupt
or for another cpu type then arm or xcale
i used the cab files from this forum. does anyone have the .cab files for XDA2 on o2 uk payg? would be a great help
here is where i got them. which 1 i need? and what i got to do wiv it?

done it lol, when i was dl the .cab file it displays on my PC as a winrar file so i was automatically extracting the files (all six of them lol), realy all i had to do was put the Downloaded file straight onto my XDA lol. dummm asss
i'm glad you got there in the end :lol:

Well the .cab files are the installation-packages for WinMobile. You need to transfer this .cab file direct to your device(or card) and via any file-exploring software start this .cab. The installation should be started. If you get an error,there can be few problems:
1.The .cab installation is for other processor type
2.or is it for a Smartphone device(PPC and SP are uncompatible(well WM5 has better compatibolity))
3.The .cab can be corrupted.
Now I want to say,that this direct in-device installation has some bad properties:
1. The .cab file is automatically deleted after installation(when your .cab isn't read-only)
2.The system install the software into a default folder only(\Program Files)-you cannot choose your own destination such as Storage,Storage Card etc..
This bugs solve this utility(below). I really recommend that.
I'm so sorry about this. I really have spent over an hour searching and Googling and reading the Wiki but I just can't seem to find this simple thing.
My O2 XDA Orbit is dead so I thought I'd try one last attempt to rescue it by re-flashing the factory ROM (WM5). I found this thread via the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306904 and am following the instructions for bricked devices. I downloaded the O2 Orbit WWE Wm5 factory rom from rapidshare, I have my device in the bootloader and it shows "USB" in the bottom left and the PC reacted and recognised the device when I plugged it in (but doesn't see it in Activesync).
The step I'm stuck on is that Meschle's instructions say "flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc)". The rom is an nbh file so I suppose I need the RUU updater for PC. Where do I get this from? I just can't find it.

dude if you downloaded the file the ROM you are talking about then you got ur self sorted - the package u have has the RUU or ROM Update Utility
when u go to bootloader, plug ur ppc to the pc and when u see the usb sign in the ppc screen just start the package u got from rapidshare it will do everything auto!!
let us know how you get on?
best luck with your 'surgery' it will be fine just dont worry
Maybe he downloaded simply a ROM file and not the complete package as usual. Download one of Meschle's or Tom's ROMs for example and delete the .nbh file inside the folder and replace it with yours.

true - Download any rom and delete the .nbh file inside the folder and replace it with yours. if u have ur rom on *.exe u can extract the ruu using winrar by right clicking and following the extraction!!
Direct download - a RUU
http://www.zshare.net/download/657626275df642/
this is a rom update utility - i got it from my files its only the ruu no rom is included so add ur *.nbh file to the extraction folder
BTW why dont u get artemis touch 3.01 rom its the best

Hi all,
I'm probably being really stupid but i'm going round in circles trying to upgrade an SPV2000 to WM5 or 6. Every flash i've tried reports a country or hardware missmatch. Can anyone supply a flash that will work?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Bryan
look at my signature click the WIKI link and read
or download the archive i attached, extract it to folder on your pc, get the nk.nbf from the rom you want to flash and copy it to the folder in which you are extracted my archive, then put your device in bootloader mode and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

Phone: HTC Touch Vogue (US Cellular) w. coke 2.31 and a Rom I cooked in the PPCKitchen
The first one I created did weird things I did not like, so went back to Factory ROM from HTC website (I have a copy on my computers)
I then tried to pick and choose what I wanted in the PPCKitchen, but some thing happened there too. 1- no longer connects to the internet via #777
I wanted to go factory again so as to restart with using cabs instead so I can check 1 by one the items causing weird stuff to happen.
Connected to my desktop and got a can not communicate message -- it says Remote Network Error (Error 608) - anybody have a clue what I can do now - my laptop said the same thing.
If I can not connect through the desktop or laptop then I can not restore what needs to be restored.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Firstly, have you tried to hard-reset the phone? (red+green+stylus in reset hole) Ive always noticed with flashing a ROM a hard reset immediately helps with weird issues that may occur
If that doesnt help, then you can always connect your (less than 2GB) SD card, the original works great for this into your PC and copy over the ROM you want to use onto it XXXfilenameXXX.nbh file, once there or before you copy it either way, rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh and then attempt to flash/reflash via bootloader mode (power+camera+stylus in hole)
Sometimes you can start bootloader then plug it in via USB, but its just easier to have the ROM on a SD card for future emergency flashes if needed
Hope that helps

Hard reset didn't work as it still uses the rom you just flashed.
I have the sd card to use but the file on the htc site for the shipped uscc rom is an exe file which includes the RUU so that I do not thing would auto run in the same way.
Any other ideas.
Download a custom ROM from around here for your carrier once you open the file (usually a .rar file) you will find the .nbh file there - rename that file to VOGUIMG.nbh and copy it to your SD card and use bootloader method to flash (BTW the ROM coming down from whatever site your original ROM is your getting is most likely just a compressed executable so you can probably use WinRAR or WinZip to extract to a folder and find the nbh file there)
Once it is up and running, connect via USB and attempt to synch and go from there

[Solved - sort of]
Thanks for the clues Detroit_Doug (referring to the first post).
I was able to place the phone in bootloader (bottom would read [serial]) then plugged in the phone (changed to [USB]) and ran the exe file. That worked. So now I am back to stock.
QPST does not recognize my phone so how can I get the rom backed up as just the vogueimg.nbh file.
I use Vista and it has its own extract the nbh file -- right click on an exe does not include extract. I really do not want to have to have another program to do what vista has built in as it takes over all kinds of compressed files when you install it.
But my original problem is solved. Going to try to find cabs for just the items I want so I can use remove programs when things go wonky again.
Thanks again

Simple answer: you cant
that is if Im reading your request correctly, you want to back your phone up into a .nbh file? if that is correct see simple answer.
ROMs are created to flash to a device, not like Ghost or Ateris that makes an image of the phone you can just restore the image in its entirety.
Your closest you can hope for is to install PIM or SPB backup solutions that will allow you to backup contacts, mail, texts, etc but unfortunately not apps or the OS.

Vista (like XP and Windows 7) has its version of compression software and will allow the compression and extraction of SOME compressed files although Windows will see an .EXE as just that an .EXE and may or may not recognize it as a compressed executable and therefor wont open it.
Your best bet is to use a small app such as WinRAR or even 7-Zip, with those during the install you can select to allow Windows UI integration as well as what file extension you want it to be associated with and which ones you dont (zip, rar, iso, etc)
Hope that helps and glad your back up and running

i downloaded this file Leo_CustomRUU.zip for use rom cook by sync with computer
but i can't extract this file
it's denie.
i turn off all of protection (firewall, antivirus)
anyone see it ? help me plz.
or have other solution to update rom by sync
thanks
sorry my english isn't good
did you turn off antivirus before or after you downloaded the file? Some AV software disable customruu, so even if you turn off AV it still wont run.
Try turning off AV, and download customruu again.
Somewhere on the forum I read that the best thing you can do is download an official htc ROM upgrade (from htc*com with your s/n), download the file to your computer. Then open the RUU file with WinRAR and you'll see like 10-15 files in there. What you need to do is extract those files to a new folder and replace the ruu_signed.nbh (official htc ROM) with the desired Custom ROM and of course rename your ROM to ruu_signed.nbh. Now start RUU.exe and follow the steps. I read that most custom ruu's didn't completely clean the internal storage so maybe this will help. Goodluck!
