I can't install xml files
Please tell me? how i can do that
You cannot install xml files Think about it - its just a text inside...
edit: XML stands for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML
it's related to html as internet pages it's not a bin file which one can install
XML file is an input to another program and that would read the content and install whatever needs to be.
i have the same problem!!
The XML format files opend by document as defult, I cant install any XML format files.
Also in pocket PC the explorer is the defult to open XML files.
ad2master: Are you dumb, or just cannot read? Everything is explained above. I would just add, that XML is TXT, or INI file. It's just text prepared for a program to read.
When you got such a file from and what makes you think, that you can install it?
i think he's meaning is to load info in OMA xml foramat files that wince supports
like registery info ,network setting info,or file operation info etc.
We don't know it. Anyway for future reference: If you have problems with "XML file installation" provide us with example, we will be able to check what it contains.
Good news and Bad
BAD news = (jakubd) is a jack *EDITED*.
GOOD news = I have a fix.
WARNING = using this fix may make you kick yourself. I did.
PROBLEM = When you open the compressed file you see the content, some files and the important SETUP.XML Like years of Windows use has taught us, the SETUP file is the only one we need. It's like magic, we click and the preprogrammed file will do the rest. BUT all you get is TEXT. Thats crap.
CAUSE = You have WinRAR installed on your desktop PC, Don't you??
See WinRAR is telling your desktop computer that your .CAB file is a compressed .RAR file. It is but we will not get in to that. Confusion sucks.
FIX = You don't have to do step 1. but I recommend you do.
1. (on your desktop computer) go to START and to ALL PROGRAMS and open WinRAR. That was easy. Now click on OPTIONS and go down to click on SETTINGS (or just hit (CTRL + S) Click on tab INTEGRATION. On the left UNCHECK the BOX marked CAB. Say my name over and over while dancing on one foot.
2. Take the file you are installing (STILL COMPRESSED) and put it on your device. Use your FILE EXPLORER in your device to EXECUTE the still compressed .CAB (note: if you did not do step 1 the file will LOOK like a .RAR on your PC but a .CAB on your Phone/Device.)
SHORT ANSWER = do NOT uncompress the file on your Desktop PC. Just take the file just as it was when you downloaded it and put it on your Phone/Device. Use your Phone/Device file explorer to locate the file and execute it.
NOW = Kick your own *EDITED*
So going back to the very begining - you never ever install XMLs. Good explanation DJ_SirG - I would never guess that anybody at any occasion would try to decompress a CAB.
But as usual I'm asking myself - how many times people will as on forums "how to install xml file"... At least I have a place to point them to. Thanks!
DJ_SirG
Thank You very much for helping, problems solved now.

I am just asking for help, you can help others if you want, or just keep your self away with your huge experience.
ad2master: I'm doing my best to help, but if somebody asks you "how to do X" and the person receives answer "you don't because it makes no sense" and then another one asks the same thing multiple times in multiple places instead of thinking for a while you can get irritated. Also when people ask hundreds of times the same question (like where is reset button) that are clearly explained in Wiki or were answered many times here, you can also get irritated and more over - they get irritated when you point the to the wiki or suggest HR.
And of course sometimes you can miss the point (like here) because of lack of information from the other side. I would never guessed that smb could first decompress a CAB file to install it and you need to know this part to understand the whole story with "xml" installation problem. It's like a person calling Ford support and asking "my car doesn't go" just to find out, that it run out of gas - it's so obvious, that you need fuel, they you don;t even take it into account. Same with CAB - it's so dead obvious to me that you don't decompress it before installation, that I would never take it into account.
So if you want precise and effective answer, check the wiki, search, use google, if nothing comes out and you think your are the first in the world with this specific problem: ask. But because you think you are so special, please try to be specific: give all the details that might be needed. answer all the questions that might help other people solve your problem. There is always somebody that might be able/want to help you, but you also have to help him.
I think The miss communication is when we would click on the .cab file to download it once it showed up on our desktop, it was a .rar. Like the file name was changed. So if you download XDA.CAB once the file was on your desktop it said XDA.RAR. So you click on it to find your .CAB file just to find .XML and let the confusion began.... Thanks for your help guy's and I hope this helps you. If it do, reply back with a quick word so we know the post is getting used and not deleted...

I Must say to all you.."A-Holes" That Spitted on us for asking stupid questions like that you guys bashing us this guy actually knew what we were talking about and helped us why you guy stood back and did nothing Grats buddy you answered my question. and it just goes to show not everyone knows everything about computers.
The only reason I found this fix was because I ran out of hair to pull out.
We are not all rocket scientists
I too had no idea how to install a .cab file with a setup xml file. Once the one gentlemen said to install the file with the file explorer it literally took as long as it took to open that file. I am really disappointed that I had a question and in order to get it answered I have to go through the abuse of being called names and being cursed at. I get enough of that at home. If you are going to run a web site that is a computer forum, you can safely assume that most of us do not have your knowledge; otherwise, we would have the web site. Nonetheless, thank you for your web site. My program is now installed. Merry Christmas, Lindy Wise
THANKYOU thankyou thankyou
A sincere thank you...

You have no idea how much time I saved with guys like you in this forum...
Currently, I am out of pennies; as such , could not give you a donation for now...
( that's why I'm reviving my xdaIIs that runs wm2003 to run wm6.5 ... so that I can give it to my disappointed son as a present... ) cant afford a sonyPSP.
When I'm back on my feet, I shall not forget those who helped me...
Thank you... and may your hair grow back Fast & Furious ...

I have read all the previous messages but cannot get the answer im looking for. I have a folder which contains text files and a xml file. I do not see any setup file for me to click on.
but as all the previous posters, you probably didn't download a folder, but an archive and you extracted it to see the folder and its contents. that was the mistake. the .cab file appears like an archive on the pc, but is the extractable setup for the phone. try it again by extracting nothing and copy the file to the phone and start it there.
Ok my issue is this..I flashed my Voude to metro pcs, I used IAMCOKEMANS loader and the alltell rom, since then no matter what rom i use the Web setting or internet settings wont keep..at all it will reset the pass word right after i save the new one.. ive tried every thing and have spent a month trying it before i decided to ask for help.
what can i do about thi problem? there are plenty of people out there claiming that they got internet and mms working flawlessly but yet no one has posted how.. so its my opinion that no one has yet lol.. not if your using the same phone from sprint that i have..and when they list the proxy settins and web setting for metro to put onto the touch there all half ass.. they do not give a step by step on how they disabled the HTC_GAURDIAN files to be able to keep there settings, and 2 they they dont tell you how they over written the file..as some have claimed..
Ok HTC_GAURDIAN is not in the start up folder in NEW roms!!! it can not be disabled by any means i know.. and every kitchen ive used just doesnt seem to install properly or when i dl the files to build an os it wont find the syw or any thing..
So can any body out there please tell me the best rom to use with this phone (thats loaded ..lol the rom i have now is really nice) and a defiant way to get the internet working on this phone from print please on the metro net work.. thanks all and thanks for the support.. after it is done i will right a guide documenting how i get it done in detail.. thanks.
Lmao it has been done and i used to have cricket and i overworote the Guardian file easily...
First off its a hidden file so your not going to find it easily.
Second its not in the Start folder inside the windows folder, its inside the windows folder just chillin there
You need
1)Total Commader
2)A blank notepad file saved at HTC_GUARDIAN.exe
once you have that... input the guardian file to somewhere on your phone and insall total commander.
you will find 2 files in the windows folder usisn total com. that are called "htc_guardian.exe" and a shortcut to this file. you need to replace the HTC_Guardiand file with the one you made and that should solve your problem with the proxy and credentials messing up...

Thank you for your reply.. ok i tried it and it is not working.. it says it can not be over written since it is part of the rom? i read some where that they disable it to being over written in the new 6.1 cn any one confirm this?
P.S. i found HTC_GUARDIAN.EXE AND HTC_GAURDIAN.ink???
Ok i got the file over written and i reset.. the problem now(wich leads me to belive that i didnt over write any thing ) is that if i create or modifie a connection no matter what pass word i put in (metropcs) I save it and i can reopen it and it goes right back to a 14-5 digit pass word and when i open a page in internet explorer it says page can not be opened due to a connection loss..any help on what the best rom would be and how to get the web working would be great!!!!! and i allso heard there is a new metropcs rom in the works or being checked out right now... CAN I BE A TESTER PLEASE!!!! thanks
Hello Experts,
i have read a lot of the Threads here, but i can't find a good information
about my O2 Cosmo. My Dash is Simlook free and SuperCID enabeld.
I found this instructions:
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

When i edit the .NBH file, i get a "ERROR 270" message!
When i dont edit the .NBH file, i get a "Invalid Ventor - Error Message"
I try to install this ROM:
"RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe"
So my Dash is a German Device, and i want a German ROM, if it is possible!?
OK, i try to go manually in the Bootloader modus, disable ActiveSync for
USB Transfer...and run the RUU Rom...but it allways break down the flash
process at 4% !
...mmh...have i forget any info, that you can help me...i dont know?
Ah Yes...i read in the Thread:
"How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!"
Here the link to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
But i can see anything on the starting screen, if my dash ist a G3 or G4,
on my start screen ist "ABSOLUTLY - NO - Information" about it!
In the "System Information" i found a RIL Nr. 2.0002 ...
So i think my dash is a IPL/SPL G3...but i dont know it really!
I dont know what i can do anymore, to update my device to WM6.0 or 6.1
Plz, if anyone know what i can do, to fix my problem, plz then tell it to me,
thank you very much, and forgive me about my bad english!
Ok, i test many times this tool "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" ...and yesterday
it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like
every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE
Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!
Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use
this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?
I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with
Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!
So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :
"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"
This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit
was zu tun...*g*
But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my
dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the
Phone, so that i must remove the battery....
The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),
will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,
"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux
Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?
Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?
And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?
Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum
here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!
Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?
Thank you!
If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...

Thank you!
But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try
to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!
I actually install this Rom:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe
I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh
Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...
But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom
The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?
That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.
Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?
Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?
And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM
without a CID Bypass Bootloader?
Any ideas?
The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that
Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux
Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove
the Battery, for a new start.
But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?
I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???
If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.

Thank you,
but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time
into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)
But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !
But now, not ! I dont know why?
With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !
But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"
INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!
But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,
wont work anymore....
You know what i mean?
The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.
When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in
Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone
have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?
To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!
That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search
here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?
Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!
But Thank you for Advice!
Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.

...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!
But i have found a Solution "Yeah" !
For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!
Try this Link: Click
Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!
The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !
Follow the steps in the text document!
Work fine for me!
But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove
the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the
"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.
(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)
I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"
You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!
After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,
remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only
the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !
All work fine!
Thank you Developers!

Hello bro, i'm from india. I own lg fathom and i checked yours installing android on fathom. Plz could u explain it in brief and also mention minimum requirement of storage on storage card and the type of storage card. Plz mention it in detail.

Hey ajit bhai, plz update the thread as and when u find any modifications.
Hey guys, after when switch on to android it takes around 15 minutes to get the signal and recognised and when u cal, the end button does not work so for that u have to press hold and then press end button and then it works. And it does not support messaging and internet also. I just thought to say the problems bcaz its my first time abt tweaking. So plz anybody finds any solution plz do let me knw. Thank u guys for ur advancement.
rvin42 thank u again for ur reply. Plz anybody found any changes for this. What i mean is that you guys know that some of the features are not working on when u port into android like microphone, no message support, no internet support although it shows operator name and also no speaker, bit flickering but you can follow rvin42's idea. So plz anybody do something. Try anything guys.
downloaded and will test it in a while. i can test anything you want, i have lg expo and its just my spare phone. barely use it for movies. i also want android with DLP support!!

Hello el_venga, hey lg expo has same configuration as fathom, so plz if u find anything new or modification abt the android plz let us know man. Hey by the way if u need any help u can ask here.

This is a reprint of a working solution I posted on WPCentral.com
Okay, I'm going to try to list the steps to get internet sharing and MMS working with Straight Talk, Please bear with me since I've only been playing with WP7 for a couple of weeks, I'm a webOS refugee and I seek asylum within the Windows world. A couple of props need to be handed out first. To Heathcliff74 at XDA for the terrific WP7 Root Tool and to the wonderful folks at the Windowbreak project for the interop unlock that allows us to do these fine things in Mango. Please note that the WindowBreak only works on Samsung devices. If you have an LG Quantum you can unlock by reg edit without having to do any additional downloads, hacking, etc. Last, but not least, the folks at MS for their Windows Phone SDK 7.1 which allows us to side-load XAP's.
1. Get the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 if you don't already have it. It's a large DL so be patient. The prog you will need to run from here is the "Application Deployment" to side-load the XAP's you will be using.
2. Go to WindowBreak by WindowsPhoneHacker.com ON YOUR DEVICE!! Click on the "windowbreak me" link and follow the instructions. Trust me, it's quick and works perfectly.
3. By now you should have an unlocked device and internet sharing available to you. If MMS is not a big deal to you, quit now and forever hold your peace. If you need it, continue with the sideshow.
4. Fire up Zune and make sure you sync.
5. Now the fun begins, go to the SDK app "Application Deployment and install the WP7 Root Tool from Heathcliff74 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1325517854
6. If you get an error message that your device is pin-locked, go to your phone's app list and hit "interop unlock" because Zune will re-lock your phone at every sync.
7. Now that you have WP7 Root Tools installed, you will notice that you have a file explorer tab. This will become your best friend.
8. Extract the Straight Talk XML from the zip file below and email it to your phone. Tap on the download and save.
9. In the file explorer find the folder called "Application Data> Volatile> Email Attachments> Attachments and find the XML. Cut and paste to the "provxml" folder in the root directory. If the folder is not there, click on the "+" icon at the bottom and create a provxml folder. There should be some XML's already in there that you would have seen when you were doing the windowbreak earlier. Another user told me that he didn't have the provxml folder so I instructed him to find the folders which have these existing XML's. They have names like "Gumi Test Bed, Suwon 2G Test Bed" and so forth.
10. Now go to diagnostic (##634#) and enter *#9908# to get to the GPRS settings. This is the same step you had to do during the windowbreak part of this program except now you will select the "StraightTalk" XML you put in at step 9. Save, reboot and Voila! You should have working data and MMS. Send a test message to another phone and reply with another MMS to make sure you're receiving.
Please note that I've recited these steps from my diminished memory of close to 50 years old and I may have forgotten a step. The most important things to consider are that you have to unlock with windowbreak and you have to get that Straight Talk XML in the proper folder. Once you can get step 10 out of the way you're golden. I won't ask for PayPal donations because others have done the leg work, all I've done is consolidate some files and info and put them together. For that, a simple "Thank You" is all I need. God bless you and God bless our troops overseas.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just wanted to revise by saying that this same procedure has netted me the same results with a Euro-version Omnia 7. Of note to those who have this wonderful piece of hardware, there are some extra settings that need to be played with for the optimal experience. The Omnia 7 is a tri-band phone for its 3G data. I was pissed beyond belief when I first got the phone and noticed a T-Mobile splash screen and only EDGE speeds. Luckily, there is a key in engineering mode that enables "all WCDMA" and Bam!! I have a beautiful 3G+ icon sitting on my header bar.
After you're in the diagnosis app (##634#) punch in *#2263# to get you to "Test Mode" for band preference. Select option "2" and on the next screen select option "6" for "WCDMA ALL" and exit. That's it! I wish it were more complicated than that.
Just Tryin' To Help
Simple. There is a mountain of posts from people who hadn't figured out how to get MMS and/or internet sharing on their Focus phones. I stumbled upon a solution and decided to share it with all who could use it. I don't personally know anybody who would use this nor am I in it for the money or the glory. It's the least I could do since Heathcliff74 and others are the ones who have made the tools to accomplish this. Some of us don't bother to stream video or music, but I'm sure there are far more of us who send pictures to their friends and family or need to send/receive data on their tablets when away from a hotspot. In the end I did it out of a sense of community, and that's what XDA is, a community. Peace, love and soul.
Thank you! I am on StraightTalk with a Samsung Focus!
You lost me on step 9 where you said "Cut and paste to the "provxml" folder in the root directory." where do I find this directory? Is it accessed from within WP7 Root Tools?
The provxml file is found in WP7 Root Tools. When you first open the app, go to "explorer" and scroll down to find the folder. It should have already been placed there during the windowbreak operation and there should be 1 or 2 xml files already in there (windowbreak and/or system tweaks). If it's not there, you can either repeat the windowbreak procedure or create the folder by pressing the "+" button at the bottom of explorer.
I open the app WP7 Root Tools it starts with registry open. When I scroll over to explorer it closes and goes to the Apps page. It appears all the other sections in the app open fine except Explorer. Now I do have an app called DiagProvXML. Could this be causing a conflict with the WP7 Root Tools?

Disregard prevouse post. I removed the DiagProvXML app, re-booted and was able to complete step 9 and 10...It works!! Thanks!!
cant get xml to download
i emailed it to my focus but i can only open the file it wont download to the phone and when it opens it opens in internet explorer. i did this back with the chevron nodo unlock with no problem. i am using a custom rom could anyone tell me how to get it to work?
biggmax81, look at step 9 in the tutorial. You saved it when you opened it in IE9. It's in the folder called "Application Data> Volatile> Email Attachments> Attachments. I did have some feedback from another user who had a custom ROM and was having difficulty getting GPRS settings to load the StraightTalk.xml file.
fatclue,
I have a Samsung Focus and just switched to Straight Talk to find out about this problem. I stumbled across your instructions...thanks!...and have been able to get through each step until I got to step 9. Have you run across anyone who wasn't able to save the file? I am stumped. I can open the file from my email but saving it is another story. When I look in root tools I cannot find it anywhere, not surprising since I can't save it. Any help would be appreciated.
Jen

It looks like biggmax and I have the exact same problem. Sorry I missed that. I didn't mean to repeat. I do find subfolders in the email/attachments folder, but no Straighttalk.xml is in there or any file.

When you email it to yourself you have to open the file in email. You'll see the progress dots and it should say "downloading" in the header bar. The paper clip will turn into an xml file signaling a successful download. Open the file and IE will show the xml data, close it and look in the folder and you should see it. biggmax has a custom ROM so I don't know if that's an issue and you didn't specify either. Good luck!!

Thanks for the reply fatclue. I don't have a custom ROM. I am new to this, so please pardon my ignorance. Everything you said should happen is what happened on my phone (dots, downloading, IE, etc). The only thing is that I do not see it as a file in root, I see it as a subfolder and it is not xml. It is disheartening, to go through all of the steps and get this close, to come to a roadblock.
Jen
The xml should be in Application Data> Volatile> Email Attachments> Attachments as an xml file. From there you cut & paste to the provxml folder in root. Read step 9 carefully and start all over again if you have to. Get up, walk away and have a cup of coffee if you have to. As I mentioned, I'm a noob to this OS as well so don't feel bad. I nearly gave myself kidney stones and lung cancer from all the times I had to walk away for coffee and a smoke. Hang in there, a few more technically savvy people than myself have had difficulty but made it work.

Thanks, fatclue. Any excuse to have a cup of coffee, right? I went back and did it all over again. Deleted the email off of my phone, sent another email, downloaded it, looked for it in Application Data> Volatile> Email Attachments> Attachments... No xml file, just subfolders with no files in them. Is there another way to get that file on my phone? What about that QR code that you posted? If I went about it that way, where would it put the file in the root? I am trying to keep a cool head and not get frustrated. I would love to throw my phone across the room right now.
Jen
It just occurred to me, did you extract the xml file from the zip? You need to extract it and put anywhere, say your desktop, and email the extracted file. Maybe I need to edit my instructions if that's the case.

I have good news! I got it. I found the xml file in an Internet folder in root. Don't ask me to find it again...I don't think I could. LOL! I just had to hunt EVERYWHERE in root for it. I almost jumped out of my chair when I saw it.
To answer your question... I did extract the file from the zip with WinRar and saved it to my desktop.
Thanks so much for the instructions. I couldn't have fixed this bug without them. Take care!
Jen
thank u for the info, now my focus is working properly with straight talk.
for the guys that are using the custom rom. the xml file can be found in window\profiles\guest\temporary internet files................ it will be in one of the sub folders u just have to take you time and look through every one of them
I have a Samsung Focus S windowsbroke with root tools installed and it's SIM unlocked with a Tmobile SIM in that works fine. I have unlimited messaging (no data) how do I set up mms on my device for TMobile?
This works awesome getting Straight talk working with MMS. Now has anyone been able to get tethering to work with this fix applied. I tried and lost my data connection and had to re-install the Straight talk xml file again.

Three things, first you will need to find the xml for T-Mobile. Second, why T-Mob? For $45 more you get real 3G and it's unlimited. I used to have T-Mob until I found out about ST byod, it's no contest. Third, without a data plan this is all a moot point, you need data for MMS.

The internet sharing should have been enabled when you did the windowbreak. I haven't had any issues with tethering and I haven't read any reports with what you're describing. I now have an Omnia 7 and I did the same procedure and it's working the same.
