Auto Installer is an application for auto-silent installation of applications after flashing or performing a hard reset on Symbian-based devices.

Instructions:

  1. Download the package: Download AI.rar.
  2. Extract system files: Extract it to your rofs folder, mapping sys folders accordingly. The folder pnht will be created as a new root folder.
  3. Set up C-drive installations: Place .sis and .jar files in the pnht/c directory if those applications need to be installed on the C drive.
  4. Set up E-drive installations: Place .sis and .jar files in the pnht/e directory if those applications need to be installed on the E drive.
  5. Configure startup: Edit a starter*.rsc resource file to automatically initialize AI.exe.
    Example: Edit starter_background_apps.rsc, change mce.exe to mc1.exe, and rename AI.exe to mc1.exe.
  6. Configure settings: Set installation parameters in AI.ini. This configuration file must reside in z:\pnht\ or e:\pnht\.
  7. Finalize: Flash the phone.

On the initial start-up, the environment will silently install all applications found in the following locations:

z:\pnht\c
z:\pnht\e
e:\pnht\c
e:\pnht\e
e:\private\10202dce\ (set this option in AI.ini)

Installation Logs & Troubleshooting

  • The system writes all logs to c:\logs\PNHT\log.txt.
  • If you need to re-run the installer, delete AI.txt from the c:\data\ folder and restart the phone. If the installer finds no remaining files to install in the specified folders, it will restart upon reboot.
  • Once at least one file is installed successfully, the installer creates the AI.txt file in the Data folder to prevent running again on subsequent boots.
