Ext. ROM config.txt batch language

[icarusbop]

Hello:

Is there a listing of the commands available for the config.txt batch file in the extended ROM anywhere?
Thanks

[Xant]

install a CAB file use
CAB: \Extended_ROM\...

execute a file
EXEC: \Extended_ROM\...

execute a reset at the end
RST: Reset

That's all I know
regards
Alex

it is handled by the autorun.exe, if you look at the strings, there is also 'cpy1' and 'cpy2'

[icarusbop]

ok doke after looking at the file it looks like

cp1: = the file and location to copy from
cp2: = the location and name to copy the 'cp1:' file to

how do I tell CAB files to install into a storage card instead of main memory, any ideas?

[Xant]

Use WinCE CAB-Manger, there you can modifiy the default install directory, should also work with StorageCard ( but I never tried it )
You have 15 executions with the demo...

There is also a program out called CABInstall, but this will not run in
batch-mode.

oh and on that note, is it possible to make batch scripts in general for the XDA/XDAII? regardless of place.

Say i have a bunch of backup cabs in my sd card and want to just make a batch script to install them like how the ext rom autorun.exe does it?

Hi all
I am new to this. Can anyone just confirm the syntax for copying files from Extended_ROM please? I updated both rom and config.txt using er2003edit with the following lines. but file is not been copying over?

cp1: \Extended_ROM\XDALogo.tsk
cp2: \My Documents\Templates

Thanks in advance.

[nickpope]

try this ...

cp1: \Extended_ROM\XDALogo.tsk
cp2: \My Documents\Templates\XDALogo.tsk

EXEC:
CAB:
CPY1:
CPY2:
RST:

Are there any more command?

[ruppia]

can anybody help me rcognize the right CP1 - CP2 command...

I tried this:

cp1: \Extended_ROM\pippo.txt
cp2: \My Documents\pippo.txt

no work, but with an error stopping the entire process (unknown file)

and this:

cpy1: \Extended_ROM\pippo.txt
cpy2: \My Documents\pippo.txt

no work, and no errors but no files has been copied.

Thanks in advance for the help.

CPY1:\
CPY2:\

It work for me.
I think it must be in capital letter and directory must be valid directory.

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Autoconfig.exe
CPY2:\Windows\Autoconfig.exe
CPY1:\Storage Card\Autoconfig.txt
CPY2:\Windows\Autoconfig.txt
EXEC:\Windows\Autoconfig.exe
RST: Reset

This is sample what i did. It work.

[ruppia]

I already use caps, but now i notice i was using this:

CPY1: \Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2: \My Documents\Serial.txt


instead of this:


CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\My Documents\Serial.txt

Could it be...?

I cannot try more because i really config all by hand but i want to know in case of hard reset during holiday...

thanks

I don't think that is your problem. Both should work, I did that before.

I'm not sure with the directory name with space in between will work. So if you are testing. Why don't you put some more lines.

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\My Documents\Serial.txt
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\Temp\Serial.txt

Some thing that I found during my reseached.

CAB:\Storage Card\MyPrograms\batt.arm.CAB

You look at the line above. It's should be Okay, Right?
In fact it doesn't work. But 3 lines below will work. It's same result.

CPY1:\Storage Card\MyPrograms\batt.arm.CAB
CPY2:\Temp\batt.arm.CAB
CAB: \Temp\batt.arm.CAB

What I mean is that sometime you just can not decide by just the specific comand lines.

good luck to you

[ruppia]

thanks little_frog.

it's difficult to try for long time, because i need always a fresh xda2...

i tried this for now and i'm waiting for new rom to check.

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Serial.txt
CPY2:\Temp\Serial.txt

Anyone know if there is an unattended install command for the config.txt file? Some cab files require you to press ok to continue installing and I would like to suppress that when the extended rom is installing.

Thanks!

It would be really cool if somebody knew how to make an unattended CAB file. This way you van create a file that automatically installs all your standard programs on the right location, maybe even with the ability to enter the serial without the user having to enter it manually! :D

Is there anyone who can make a tutorial for the people on this forum? :)

i have injected serials in SPB programs i use.
You have to know which keys program creates when you enter serial number.
I have edited cab files and added serial keys.

Other way would be to create a different cab that has just the keys in it.

Yup, on newer devices XML: is a command. It will run the XML file given as argument. You don't have to create a .CAB file unless you want to but it can be an advantage.
