Extended_ROM Read Only - Can't Unlock

I'm trying to add a file and modify the config.txt file in the extended_rom folder however it says that it is read only.
When I run the unlock tool, it is giving me the following error. How can I get around this?
debug
ERROR:
FL_OICTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Also the device is a TelecomNZ - Harrier, and I am using the Unlocker from this page.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_Zip

The tool does not seem to work on the harrier: I remember that there was another tool around alas I have no idea if that worked.
You need to look through the harrier threads about that, I dont rember which one.

Found this unlocker works.
http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe

Have posted it in the kitchen section of wiki.
Any instructions for this? (so that I can add them as well)

Yeah it was simple to use, copy the file to your Harrier and run it.
Also this is the post I got it from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17408
Some extra instructions if it doesn't work, but I didn't need to do this.
"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). "

I have redone
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_Zip
Can you please check if it makes sense from a Harrier point of view, if you find anything then just use the edit at the bottom left of your screen.
Thanks

Done, I have changed the wording around for the install and excute a bit and removed the note about Harriers users not having an option to unlock.

BlueAngel DOC repartitioning tool

I've attached a program that can repartition our devices. You can enter the desired size of your "Extended_ROM" in kilobytes. Min - 128 Kb, Max - 64 Mb. The remaining part would become your "storage".
After formatting the device should be rebooted. Of cause you should backup the contents of Extended_ROM and Storage folders. If you use "Permanent Save" feature, during first boot OS would ask to recreate files in your "storage" folder.
I'd recommend to use 128K extended ROM with only theft prevention program in it, and all other space leave a "storage".
Usage:
unrar Repart_DOC.rar archive to any directory on your device and run it. Enter the desired Extended ROM size, press "Format now" and reboot. If the program outputs format error - round your size to the next 128 Kb boundary and try again.
Theoretically this program can run on other devices that use DiskOnChip(R) TrueFFS(R) driver, but this is not tested.
In the case of hard reset the extended ROM would be hidden, but it should remain writeable forever - my program resets unlock password to zeroes.
and:
Use this program at your own risk!!!
P.S. I've also attached the source code of this tool. It should be compiled with VS 2005 beta 2.

Thanks
Mamaich Thank you for the tool !!
I just added a Default Button to the tool in which will revert back the amount of the EXTENDED_ROM to the original size
How To:
-Run the tool and press Default!
-Soft reset
Ps: Don't forget that this tool will wipe your Data on the Storage and the Extended_Rom, so remember to make a backup for the stored data!
***Use it on your own risk!!***

One more favour needed
Dear Mamaich
SInce there is no WM2005, I sincerely request if you can alter the file system in such a way that windows folder is in the storage......That would be gr8...Pls Pls do something about it....and I know that you can do it.

Tool works fine....one has to first unlock the Ext ROM

This tool is working like a charm :lol: Thank you mamaich :twisted:

and which tool is it for unlocking the external rom? anyone, anyone Buller? I want to try this out.

Here is the unlocker
install it to PocketPC, then use "unhide", "unlock". After reboot the "Extended_ROM" folder would become visible and writeable.

It is a very great tool, mamaich. I can select myself any size of the \Storage.
I would like to request (if it's not that difficult) if you can have an option to select for Factory Defualt Setting.
I used this tool to repartioning my XDAII (WM5). It work fine, but I can't unhide the \Extended_ROM folder. The Extended ROM Unlocker I used is the modified one for WM5 by toenailed. I do any thing wrong?

I don't have 2K5 so I cannot help you here.
And I don't remember the "factory default" settings so I cannot add them to the program. You may select something about 15Mb as a size.

So I can install the application and I can unhide the folder. Reset to complete. However when I try to unlock I get the following:
Error:
FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
I press OK then I get another window Debug and the message says extrom unlocked, press OK.
I start Repart_DOC and I try different sizes anthing from 128K to 10 mb. I get another Error Window.
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL DRIVE failed.
Thoughts anyone.
I tried variations of doing one command at the time and soft resetting the device but it all produces the same error messages.

Results with the Alpine.
Using BA DOC tool, it is opposite. If I put in 128 for ext ROM it makes .11 Storage. If I put in 61000, I get 59.11.
Ext ROM stays the same. After running loadvdisk, it becomes visable and is 23.96 13.96 in use and 10 free.
Ext ROM must be on other chip or is read only or???? You will know better than I!

Ohhh ya,, THANK YOU !!! YOU ARE A GOD! 8) :lol: :wink:

Sorry, can I ask which storage will be memory added?
We have the 128 RAM with program and "storage", and the "storage" folder that we can see under file explorer.
And do we need to do a "hard" reset for this?
Many thanks for your reply.
Cheers,

Chris,
This is for the storage memory which is 47 mb and then you can combine your extended rom to make one big storage of 64 mb. It has got nothing to do with the default memory or storage.
Hope this helps.
Hemant.

Worked flawlessly. Thank you, mamaich!

no ideas for my little device not found issues? As per above.
Thanks

Harriers use different passwords.

ah, that worked like charm, thank you very much.

Slightly confused here guys..
If you remove extended rom - how do you re-install the required apps after a hard boot? directly from the storage card ? I have tried various options and it did not work for me..
1. Changing Registry to run Autorun directly from storage card (guide from xda-dev) - did not execute ! god knows why..
2. Creating a Batchinstall script - (guide from xda-dev) - did not run..
3. cloning - was a very expensive option - so dropped out.
Would love to increase by Storage also - but need a solution to this...help me out guys...

1. just create a Folder in your Storage Card.. Name it .. 2577 <-- very important
2. Place the AutoRun.exe and ExtROM.zip in the Folder \Storage Card\2577\
3. During a Hardreset, after the Screen Aligntment and GMT settings(Welcome.exe) make sure you will see the notification .. just like in the pic .. then tap YES
4. Then it will start to install everything in ExtROM.zip ..
5. After it install all application it will asks to reboot ..
PS:
in case you didnt see the notification .. just remove the SD/MMC wait for at least 15 seconds then put it back on the Slot
you can add or remove some files in ExtROM.zip .. just use Winrar or Pocker Rar .. and always check for Archive Error .

Here's the autorun file as well!

RE: Extra Storage
Another method I used.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/Extra Storage unlocker
Copy the exe in the zip file to your Alpine, then tap to run on pda. It doesn't show a finished message.
I use 'resco explorer', with show hidden etc in the settings, I haven't tried to vew with only the standard file explorer, it may work as well.
Goto Windows on your pda and you should see a folder called 'shared' it should show 60.9mb free. If you do use Resco Explorer and hold your stylus on the shared folders and select properties, you can change all the attributes (Hidden, Archive, Read, Write and ROM), although I haven't needed to. :lol:

Correct Link for above
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/Extra Storage unlocker

Hello
I'm be happy that a way seems to be real, but it do not work on my 2020I.
I select unlock Extrom, but the Extrom is no visible, so i select Unhide and it say to me to do soft reset. After it, i don't see any Extrom. Only way is to use original LoadVisk, but it is writeProtected.
Where i am in fault ?
Thank's
QTEK 2020I ROM 1.124 French

I used the Loadvisk on my XDAIIi and I can write to it etc (Shared folder in windows).
Use Resco file explorer to change the shared folder attributes. Make sure you configure Resco to show hidden files etc.
Heres the link
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

Loadvisk
Here is Loadvisk program I used on XDAIIi, it may help

Confused loadvisk does not access ext rom?????
I'm confused about loadvisk. I thought it unlocked the ext ROM, but no it only gives access to your RAM not to extended rom.
I tried the other tool on here unhide, unlocked, where do I access the rom in my file explorer?
so please ignore my previous posts about loadvisk.
How can I reverse loadvisk to hide the shared folder again?
sorry if this is a bit jumbled, I'm just finding out about this stuff myself

Thank's for reply
But it do not work.
If i use loadvdisk_493.exe, it show Extended_Rom as entry, that is the same result as LoadVdisk.exe that exist in Windows directory. I can't modify files inside Extended_Rom and it as this name, not Shared folder. It is not a folder but new media and with resco 5.22 i can't change attributes because it do not permit to media, only with files or folder.
Secondly, if i use Exttrom_200_250.exe, i can't write to in Extended_Rom.
Is this write for you ??

RE: EXT Memory
Hi,
Loadvisk has nothing to do with extended memory, it creates a virtual disk of your Program RAM (see 'Memory' on you PDA). This shows as a folder called 'shared' in Windows, when you copy files to this folder, the look at your memory, you will see that it stores in your program section of your memory and so I wouldn't bother with it.
I have had a good look around and I can find nothing to unlock the true extended memory, only the tool you used to unhide it.
You can flash your extended memory with the 2577 method, but this is not ideal for users who just wnat to access and write to ext memory.
Full details link below
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=373&PN=1

There is another method to write to the extended rom but is far more involved than the method DAz mentioned. It does actually write to the Extended ROM so it therefore survives a hard reset and allows you customise the ROM with programs and remove stuff you don't use like the bloody annoying O2 active crap.
I've used it and can say that with a little patience it is fairly easy to do, although trial and error is required sometimes. Some programs don't seem to install from a hard reset however most do (Pocket Plus, Resco Explorer, TCPMP etc work fine).
Here's the link:

Need some help

I'm completely new to all of this....so forgive me if I posted this in the wrong spot, or the answer is posted somewhere (I already looked around for the answers, and didn't find them).
I want to upgrade my Blue Angel to the new ROM....and there are a couple things in the instructions that I don't understand how to do:
1) "Resize your Extended ROM to 128KB and your Storage ROM to 60MB. You will use your SD card as a replacement for your EXTROM."
2) "Modify the operator in the ROM as needed:
* Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
* Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???"
With the second one, I've already used GetDeviceData to find out that my operator is "XGULA001".
Edit: Another question that I have.....is Windows Media Player 9 included on this when I install the ROM? (if not, will I be able to install it later?)

Please someone answer, I know that someone has to know how to do this.
1. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed
Open a command window and execute: SetOperator ????
- Replace ???? with your Operator Information
- i.e.: T-MOB101, or Vodafone, or O2, or ...
I have no idea what I'm suppost to do, but I do know what my operator is.

read section 'How do I find out what my device configuration is before upgrading?'
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
download and extract the file i uploaded, copy nk.nbf over the extracted director. launch your dos prompt, nagivate to the extracted directory, and run SetOperator.bat.
example: SetOperator.bat O2ASI001
where O2ASI001 is the operator code.
hope it works.
imatrix

Thanks, thats the program that I needed......but now I have another problem.
When my BA is in bootloader mode, I can't update because the updater doesn't recognize the BA. When I try updating out of bootloader mode, the updater recognizes it at first..,...but when I start the update it goes into bootloader mode again, and it stops recognizing the BA so it can't update.
What can I do to solve this problem?

what error did u get?

Remove SD Card
Make sure you remove your SD card before you start the flash program. I have noticed the same problem if my 4gb SD card is still in the slot. After upgrading, you return the SD card in the slot and reset the device so the EXT-ROM directory can be read.

Thanks, that fixed the problem.....but now I have yet another problem.
The phone won't work, and I can't connect to my operator.....how do I connect to my operator? (My operator isn't listed anywhere on the BA)

What I did to get WM61 and the new radio installed with no sd card.....

After searching for hours on all the files, procedures, etc. on the subject, here's a quick guide for the n00b's out there that want to do this... Some information i will be repeating from other places on the internet.
----------------------------------
The following Files are needed (search the forums and google to locate)
1. CheetahUnlocker.rar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100)
2. Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar
3. Treo750Radio1.54.07.00.rar
4. RUUWrapper.zip
OK.. Now here we go
unrar the first file 'cheetahunlocker' and basically follow the instructions from the above #1 link. Two things to note: Ignore any images for Hermes and you must have .net 2.0 framework installed on the device.
when you run the unlocker, the first one worked fine for me, the second process didn't work, but that doesn't matter. also watch the screen for the unit to ask you about opening files. if you don't do it, it can time out and then you'll have to start over.
Now here is the fun part.
1. Unzip the RUUwrapper file to it's own folder.
2. unrar the CHEEIMG.nbh file from Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar into the same directory of the RUUwrapper files
3. rename the CHEEIMG.nbh file to CHEEIMG_FW.nbh
4. run the RUUWrapper.exe file and it will flash the rom of the unit to WM61. **remember to watch the screen for prompting of opening files at the beginning.
5. Done with WM61. Now for the radio update. It's basically the same process as above.
6. unrar the CHEEIMG.nbh file from Treo750Radio1.54.07.00.rar and put it into the RUUwrapper directory like before.
7. rename the CHEEIMG.nbh file to CHEEIMG_FW.nbh (delete the old one first)
8. Run the RUUwapper.exe file again to flash (this time) the radio to the unit. **remember to watch the screen for prompting of opening files at the beginning.
9. All Done.
----------------------
It worked fine for me with the Treo 750 and the AT&T network..
Main places i got information from were:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100

Your method above just helped me escape a bootloader loop which was (apparently created) by trying to load a different custom rom after having installed hardSPL. The only precautionary measure I took was to place only one image (the same OS & Radio you used) into the RUUWrapper folder at a time and it loaded right up. Still checking and testing some things out because the bootup isn't exactly smooth as silk, and the old "TREO750-1.13-CNG" still shows up under About->Phone->Software Version, but all firmware references reflect the updates. MTTY was ineffective in my particular situation.
Now for testing the radio for reliability and battery drain,etc...
Thanks for the heads-up!

Witch one is the correct selection (see attachment)

Anybody? at least tell me where I can find information about RUUWrapper.
Well I clicked Force use safe SSPL and clicked through and I got a error message saying that it could not communicate with the 750 Error 246 check usb connection?
I read that Vista had some issues with usb connections and to download and use VistaRUU usb drivers, I installed it according to the description, still error 246 and sometimes error 202?
Any ideas?

honestly i don't remember seeing that screen you are getting. it looks like the software isn't detecting the rom you have on your phone, in which case i would use the autodetect.

Hello Eric,
If I use autodetect it says it can not detect what version I'm using "Recomend using Safe SSPL"

This was the ONLY process that worked for me. However, I did not use the Cheetah unlocker, it is unfriendly with my Vista USB connection. I used magic unlocker and then your instructions and now I running on WM 6.1..
Thanks.. great work!!

I wonder - do you have Voice Command anymore?
Just curious - I lost Voice Command when I did this upgrade. Sure, the OS runs nice, seems a little faster, but I sure do miss Voice command. I am running AT&T's Treo 750, which had Voice Command on it. Some people, on some websites, like TreoCentral said there was a 'lite' version, which did not have Voice Command, but I installed this version: Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD.rar, and that seems like the right one.
So, I wonder - do you have Voice Command anymore?

As I know it is the normal version's bug (missing the voice command).

I completed set 1, no success!
When u say add to directory what do you mean?

missing the voice command？ Oh my...

WM 6.1 does have some things that need to be debuged.
I havent tried WM 6.0 but from what I read on here it seems that 6.0 is more stable.
Does any one know if this route will work for WM 6.0?
If so does any one know which file do you download?
Will this set up work with WM 6.0?

Well, WM6.0 is more stable, for one thing I had a faster battery drain with WM6.1 than I did with 6.0.
As mentioned earlier, some missing stuff like voice command, but one thing I thought wouldn't be there was messaging. For some reason that Messaging is half annoying me.
While I'm at it, anyone know how to backup SMS messages? That Messaging app is just keeping them to itself.
