hi all,

i am having trouble installing any application (.cab) file on my device. have an imate ultimate 8502 wm6.0. basically, in the start i installed googlemaps and it worked fine. then i did another couple of apps, and then i dont know how, but all applications stopped working. i get the error about security certs. when i try to run them. so i uninstalled most of them , and now I cant install anything :(

everytime i try to run a cab file, if first confirms that its not from a certified publisher, but when i confirm to install, it always gives me the error message "Installation of " ***.cab " was unsuccessful". Would really appreciate your help here.

Regards,

If you Have made any backup, try to restore that. I think that should solve the problem. Otherwise may be the system files may have become corrupted. Its a good idea to have hard reset infrequently, to have clean installs.

backup of what? device recovery you mean? would it be appropriate for the current scenario if i do a Master Clear and restore to factory defaults? plus, does it clean/ repair system files that may have been corrupted?

Thanks,

Backup of system and pim files. It is usually done by e,g spb backup or others. Yes if you do hard reset, it will bring the system to original factory level. Of coarse you will loose all data in ROM. So please backup your data to PC or memory card before hard reset.
