How do I install...

.cab files via USB without an SD card?

Waiting on SD card, but would like to install a couple of programs, i.e., TotalCommander (registry editor), pocketnowenablewlangmode.cab

Can I install these w/o an SD card? If so, what's the process? I've got the winrar program, but not sure exactly how to use it. Nooby here.

Thanks.

umm...why not copy them straight to the device and install just as if they were on a memory card.

I'm still a little foggy as to how to install / extract / expand a .cab

I think I understand what you are trying to say, but I'm unsure of the steps.

Could you dumb it down and give me a step-by-step for say, program / file 'x'?

Thanks

cabs are a self extracting archive. all you need is to copy and paste the cab from the pc to the device or download using pocket internet explorer, then navigate to file using file explorer, tap and install to device memory. easy peasy. darren's answer expanded a little.

Active sync, make sure your phone is connected and then explore the phone and drop the cab on the phone.

If you have the .cab file on your computer, connect your phone via usb activesync. Once connected, you can click on the explore button on activesync (For windows XP) which lets you look at the files and folders on your phone. Copy that .cab file you have to anywhere you want on the phone. I usually put it in the My Documents folder. Once copied to your phone. Go to the file explorer program on your phone and get to that file. Then you just click on it. The .cab file knows what to do on your phone. Simply click it and it will step you through the rest.

You really don't need a sd card, you can do everything with a usb, the only thing you use the sd card for is to install a radio with 2.4, us the usb cable, your gonna us it for almost everything else anyways.

best USB option is to start with olipro 1.2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332381 then install the new Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50 here http://www.geek-pages.com/rom/Titan%...%203.42.50.rar which is awsome, I get 2 bars in my house when I couldn't even get a signal with sprints crappy radio. You use RUU to install the radio which you get here ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/RUU/RUU.rar you extract the .nbh titan radio file and put it in the RUU folder where ever you extracted it to. Then you run the romupdateutility.exe and install the radio to the phone, reboot the phone and when it get's to the windows touch screen use active sync to install olipro 2.4 and boot back to the windows touch screen again(if you can't boot out of 2.4 use this ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...tan_exitbl.rar and make sure Wcesmgr.exe Wcescomm.exe Rapimgr.exe are all disabled in task manager)
Then run active sync from the windows touch screen and then cook up a rom, I personally am now a big fan of wm6.5 21501 which has been great so far, might upgrade to 21815. You have to use olipro 1.2 to install the new titan radio if you are using a usb cable, otherwise if you have a sd card you can just install olipro 2.4 ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...rd-SPL-MFG.exe
and then install the titan radio with a >2gb sd card with titan on it in the bootloader without installing olipro 1.2, your choice. Then get build OS http://ppckitchen.org/Downloads/BuildOS.msi and get cooking!

Please stop telling people to install 1.2. This is not a good idea for gps roms and radio. Anyone can update there radio with an sd card with 2.4 or 2.47. I state again you need to go back to 1.2 unless you are rolling back to a pregps rom.
