Is there any tool to unlock the extended rom on XDA IIi? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike

I also would like this.
And mike, your picture of the XDA2s is the best modification i have ever seen for it

:lol: Thanks John

Trying to keep this thread alive, does anyone know of any tool yet.... that can unlock the XDA IIi EXTENDED ROM? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike

No bites yet. Come on any help out there. I need to unlock the XDA IIi extended rom.

same here and keeping this thread active... is there a tool (yet) for unlocking the xdaIIi extended rom?
Unhiding is no issue. Using ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.cab has no effect whatsoever.

@epicus:
how have you unhid the extrom? care to share?

for unhiding the extended rom, when I got the phone I explored what was installed and found a file called loadvdisk.exe inside the Windows rootdir. When I launched it I noticed there was a directory 'Extended ROM' suddenly visible, however I could do nothing with it. I could copy data from it, but could/can not put anything inside it. Kind of useless rather, unfinished. If I can 'load a v. disk' then where is the use of it??
Attached is the loadvdisk.exe, I found no keys for it in the registry, so if anyone wants a go at it, feel free, it's loaded by the basic WM2k3SE ROM.
As to a possible question if it works on a device other then an Alpine... dunno , try it.
The issue remains, how does the Extended rom get unlocked? The known registry flag for the ExtROM is set to zero.

Try this
Try http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe
If that doesn't unlock it, and gives a hardware io control
error, try using a binary editor on the file.
Look for ReIrRaH and replace it with eNiPlA
(Harrier and Alpine backward with alternating case).
Perhaps SuperDave would be kind enough to release
a version where the password is input at the keyboard...
Ehud

Thank's for your tools. It seems that will be near a solution but it's not unlock, because ;
First : TREFFS_DOC is now profile for Storage
Second : ExtRom is Profile VDIS and use VDISK.DLL and not TRUEFFS.DLL that does not exist
Third : Allocation memory is different than other version of QTEK.
And finaly, NOT USE THIS TOOLS THAT LOCKED My STORAGE, I'm HAPPY. I TRIED HARD RESET WITHOUT RESULT
!!!!

changing roms on xda2i
Does anyone know how to avoid country error code on the alpine when upgrading or switching roms? Does one follow the same procedure as that for the himalaya, or can I use the upgrade utility (with no id) that I used for the himalaya?

come on !!! i need too!! please engineers!

what do u think about this :
http://www.smartphone4u.de/xda3/grundlagen/extrom_unlocker.shtml
i tried but fail !!it can't not run!!

I need it too,please help.
I can not read/write my Storage after hard reset.

I don't understand for developer what is difficulty.
Today all owner of 2020i are locked to write in ExtRom and other (as mine) have also Storage locked in write.*
Pls Help us

Actually, there ARE tools to unlock XDA IIi, there are few doing unlock for XDA IIi on eBay, and this website: http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingHTCPocketPC_Instructions.htm also handles it. Its just that this kind of tools will not be easily released to us from the underground, other wise, who will they gain profit from?
Guess we have to either wait or pay if you are really in a hurry

Very interresting, but it's not a subject.
A specail forum about unlock already exist and don't confusion betwen unlock (SIM provider) and Unlock Extended ROM. Is this last subject for we ask help to develloper

Leonzhou, we're talking about unlocking the extended ROM, not about removing the SIM lock!

sorry guys, just ignore my stupid comments, just realise it's extrom lock not simlock

thanks anyway!
come on!!!

XDA2i Rom Unlock
Hi Blackfoot,
is this: ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.CAB
The right tool to unlock the XDA2i ROM?
This is the only file I found, but I am afraid to destroy my ROM, if it is not the right Prog.

Of course not my friend....the tool u have is just to unlock the EXT ROM....
Go there(click the link),u will find another itsme tool(when it comes to unlocking,it's always itsme....he's the best :wink: )..
READ and download http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=xdadev_all_unlock
RAGO :lol:

so that means you can unlock a xda that has a contract right, cause where i live if u get a phone with a contract on it u cant use another sim card in it, i want to get rid of that so i can???

No, this is a different story.
In my case the Extended ROM is locked and you have a SIMlock on your device. But I am sure you will find a solution in this Board.
8)

huh ?
The tool by itsme (The xda unlock all tool) will remove the lock that stops you from using a different network.
Ie ... Your phone is locked to O2 network UK, use the tool to unlock the phone so you can use an Orange network UK sim card instead.

ive tried the unlock for xda 11i, not had any luck gives error message, can any body help me

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24704&d=1128641650
put that on your XDA and run it on the xda. will work fine.

erm.. i have just got hold of a alpine/2020i, but this program wont run on it.
edit....
the 1.6 version found at the wiki runs perfectly, but the 1.6.138 keeps saying "this is not a valid pocket pc aplication"

I have tried downloading the latest version of this tool xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6.exe when I run it on my O2 XDA 2i as described it comes up with an error, see error log.
When I read the error log it says:
simlock answer invalid simlock answer.
error getting current lock status
xdadev_all_unlock failed
ril ioct 0xc2: 00000000
ril ioct 0xc6: 00000000
I tryed resetting my XDA but the same thing happens.
Any ideas.
NB this is an 02 phone I had on contract until about six months ago, but I cancelled the contract. It hasn't been used as a phone since. I am keen to use it abroad with a foreign sim.

Of the two progs referenced in the itsme post i have had more luck with the earlier version. v1.6.38 failed to unlock two XDA IIi but he v1.5 was successful in both cases

Thanks 4 That

My Mates Had this PDA (O2 XDA IIi) for a few years now and gave it me the other month. In all that time, he didn't manage to unlock it. A friend I sat talking to the other day referred me to this site, and within 5 minutes of looking from the gogle link, I've managed to get it unlocked!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a mint piece of software! A definite must het for anyone who doesn't usually use O2 as their main network. (or any network for that matter! LOL!)

Thanks to ITSME!
This thread is a getting bit old but I'd like to add my thanks to all those (itsme, I think) that contributed to the xdadev all unlock and to reassure those that follow me that it is one of these things that just works!
I put the program on a SD card plugged it into my O2 XDAlli and ran it. Instant results no messing!
Thanks guys!

Flashing rom I get; ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID

I think you will know what to do, so please tell me... I'm flashing my o2 xda mini S and I have now run out of time, I used all my spare time today (2 hours) trying to flash the ROM with RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship but I get the error.
So what do I need to do - how to remove the vendor lock(?) and where to get the program that can do it, if there is one? And is the above ROM okay? I want to get rid of the stupid o2 programs and get into a clean version of Windows Mobile. And of course, the additional speed that hopefully comes with a new ROM is also appreciated
Please explain clearly, I have very little time nowadays to fiddle with these sort of problems
Thanks!
EDIT: Here is the ROM I have in there now: 1.5.4.2 and it's the o2 original ROM that came preinstalled with the phone... that's all I know.
-John

Unlock it first !
Download CID Unlock (search here on this site), then unlock it and then fell free to install Qtek rom.

HTC Diamond "Invalid Vendor"
After many tries, on a phone that I knew was unlocked I was able to download the new update by simply turning off the firewall...My advice is try that first, and see if you can get the update on your phone.

CID Unlocking

To unlock the wizard you need to do three things.
1. Flash the button rom
2. Run Lokiwiz
3. Flash your original rom
Here is a rar archive with all the programs you need
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for file is scousemartin
extract it then flash the button rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe then run lokiwiz.bat
once it has told you that you have successfully cid unlocked it then you can flash your o2 rom or the one i have supplied in the rar archive, which i think, but cant exactly remember is the same rom you now have. After flashing the o2 rom you can flash any rom you want , as long as it is designed for the wizard,of course
heres a link to a how to for lokiwiz

Please Help Me ! SPV M700 GPS no longer works

Hi - I have an Orange SPV M700, and i just used the sim unlocker from this site to sim unlock
the sim unlock process has worked, and i can now use my tmobile sim in the phone.
HOWEVER, the GPS function on the phone is no longer working. TOMTOM 6 worked with the internal GPS before i sim unlocked - but now, it keeps saying "No GPS Device"
Could anyone PLEASE help me to get GPS function (and whatever else may have got messed up during the process) back to working order.
I am a newbie at all this, so please give me step by step guide as how to sort it out.
I have already tried a hard reset, but no change
i only did sim unlock and not the cid unlock
Thanks

Did you install a new radio ROM after unlocking ?
If not do it, radio roms with GPS works better with GPS than radio ROM without GPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1250041&highlight=radio#post1250041

hi super sheep - thanx for reply
no, i did not do that, i just selected sim unlock.
looking at the link, there are 2 roms - 1.38 and 1.41 - will any of these change language of my phone?
also do i need to cid unlock the phone to install the rom?
also, how do i intall the rom?
sorry, but im a newbie at this (have 2 start somewhere)!
thanks

i love u sheep!
thanks - waiting for a valid gps signal......
next thing - how can i download all the tmobileuk settings for the spv m700?

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=200961
any good to you?
you have to do the work your self though...just one question M700 on tmobile?..... assume you have dumped the Orange SIM card etc? If not Orange have a real good set up page for thier services.

cheers for link - yes, dont use orange sim, tmob web n walk is good stuff.
thanks

Right - now i have another problem....
atfer sim unlocking, i now find that when i try to use with my parrot ck3200 carkit, the m700 only automatically pairs up with it if i soft reset the device...is there any fix to make my bluetooth better and for it to pair without having to soft reset the device?
previously i had mda compact ii and never had any problems with that.
thanks

HTC ROM

Hi there, I've just received a "new" HTC Trinity from Vodafone Portugal and I've some doubts regarding it. The ROM version is pretty old (1.15.410.2) and I was wondering through the HTC support and they have a new generic ROM (portuguese ROM) with GPS enabled and other improvements.
So the risk of upgrading to this new ROM is practically null (is it?) since it is a ROM provided by the vendor, and afterwards I will have the GPS working, but the SIM will remain locked.
Then I can run the batch file provided by pof to unlock the ppc, and there it is : a GPS enabled Trinity that I can use in PT and UK.
Well, is this so linear or am I missing something?
thanks,
and cheers
mouro

download rom removes sim lock?!
if downloading the new rom resets all the settings from the vodafone operator, shouldn't also remove the SIM lock?
well, this might appear a dumb question but it make sense (at least to me )
thanks

1)
If your phone is a Vodaphone, and you install a HTC generic ROM on it, you may lose the benefit of your Vodaphone warranty.
But since your ROM version is so old, I guess it's a second hand phone, not a new one, so your Warranty period has probably already expired.
In this case, you have nothing to lose.
2)
Flashing a new ROM on your phone doesn't make it a sim unlocked phone.
Besides, if there is SPL/IPL on that so called generic HTC ROM, you may not be able to flash it onto your phone, unless you CID unlock it.
Hard SPL is a wise option, search on the forum, you'll find everything for SIM and CID unlock.

Thanks for the reply.
I've already seen how to unlock the SIM/CID.
I'm gonna try the upgrade to Hard-SPL. If I'm successful then i can change to a recent cooked ROM.
thanks,
i'll let you know if I bricked my ppc
hope not!
cheers

Well I've managed to update the bootloader to SPL 1.20 and the Radio ROM. Now I can see the radio version on the settings panel.
These tools are really something, I didn't have any problem flashing the ROM !!!
Next step is to upgrade to a new ROM, but :
1) Can I use any ROM available (independently of the CID)?
2) Are there any cooked ROMs with GPS software?
3) Is the WM6 a must have, or is it more or less like WM5 with some extra eye
candy and extra overhead ?
4) Can I SIM unlock the phone with the pof tool with the SPL bootloader?
Thanks for the help!
regards,
mouro

Hi Mouro
I also have a P3600 in Portugal. In the begining I also installed the htc rom from vodafone to enable gps.
I think you have to unlock the phone cid (instal super cid) in order to be possible the installationn of any coocked rom.
I´m sure that all the coocked roms have gps enabled.
WM6 has some advantages, especially the htc task manager and maybe a bit more speed... but I think the advantages are not that much when compared with WM5. Anyway, it´s the latest version and we always consider that important...
Yes, you can use the tools provided by pof to unlock the phone.
Mine is working fine and very stable.
Nothing to complaint about.
Best regards

hey nj05
thanks for your reply
I think I'm gonna give it a try.
before installing the HARD SPL I was a little scared because after all, this is an expensive toy but now after seeing all the positive feedback I'm gonna give it a try.
Tomorrow I'll post here the results.
best regards
cheers
mouro

all rigth baby
well,
finally I have my ppc unblocked with an original ROM from HTC with everything running smooth!!!
Thanks to everybody!
keep up the good hacking work!
