Did anybody having trouble with unlocking ExtendedROM after downgrading from WM5 ?
Il have problem with unlocking after downgrading to WM 2003 SE again
I got error message
THX
The ext ROM should not re-lock after upgrade / downgrade as the security code is changed and there is no way to re-lock it! Are you sure you re-configured your memory back to a 16MB area for ext rom before you downgraded?
I can't understand that - after I downgraded I can't see the Ext.Rom. I run the unlocker and unhider but still couldn't see it to load all the ol' ext.rom files in it.
As I said - did you resize the ext rom in WM5 before downgrading?
Not sure if it will work but try using the Repart tool under WM2003SE to reduce the size to give you back an ext rom (See the Wiki for downgrading)
I read the whole Wiki and even translated it into german for our german WM5 buddy's. I resized it AFTER the downgrade how it's been explained on the wiki.
I mean it's not a "Heeeelp" - because I installed the O2 GER CAB manually, I just wanted to know this.
You can downgrade to 2003SE and then using the partition tool create a new ext rom with 16384 kb which will you back your Ext rom. I hope this helps.
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I am having the exact same problem. Followed the wiki to a T to downgrade from WM5, and all went well until I went to apply the extrom. Running the repart_doc tool it ran with success, but upon a soft reboot the extended_rom folder is not present. Any ideas?
Figured it out - extended rom was hidden. Grabbed a utility from xda-dev to unhide it and voila, it worked.
For anyone that cares, the newest t-mobile rom w/cooked ext works great on my M2000...

Hi Mamaich, I am currently running ROM 5.03.02WWE with the patched nk.nbf. I have problems with running WorldMate Pro and WorldMate Expense. Both of them was successfully installed, but I am unable to launch each of the program. Hence, I was wondering if I should upgrade my ROM to the latest ROM WM5_pack_V1 and it would help with installing and running the WorldMate softwares. If it hepls, then do I have to 'Unhide & Unlock' and Repart_DOC my system. Bearing in mind that I am nolonger running WM2003SE, or can I just run BAupgradeut from the WM5-pack-V1. If Not, mut I downgrade back to WM2003SE first, and upgrade from Step 1.
Thanks
you don't need to repartition DOC if you did it before. And if you flashed the patched ROM - you don;t need to reflash it, just do a hardreset (camera+record+reset button and select to clean registry and storage).
Maybe WorldMate soft is not compatible with WM5, I don't use it.
Thanks Mamaich, ran Baupgradeut from the PH20B folder, but it reported that this upgrade is not for your device type. I have a PDA2K device.
I used the WM5_pack_V1 to upgrade.
The rom and ce files are the same in the pack as in the other ba_patched.
I we just added the 2 dirs to make life on wiki easy.
I had reflashed my wm5 device to wm5 when I checked the instructions.
I am not aware of your problem however if other people can confirm it we need 2 update wiki.
I've just downgraded from WM5 using the latested O2UK release that came out today. I followed the downgrade instructions found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
After it had finished I found that I had none of the usual O2 rubbish they add on, no mention of Blackberry anywhere, no album and it was still showing radio vertion 1.06
I then tried doing the upgrade normally (just by clicking on the exe downloaded from O2). This updated the radio but still no add on programs
If it helps, after soft reset I got an error window saying Contact flash yes?/no? then another about some other prog and another after that.
I Have no idea what you did to do the upgrade but if you were on WM5 you must have reformated your EXT rom.
So after the downgrade you need to format a ext rom and then run the 1.40 upgrade as per wiki.
Sorry if this is posted before.
I've a problem with my extROM in my xda2s. Before it, ive followed all instruction to unlock my extROM, then partition it then i've made an upgrade with my xda2s with WM2k5_1.60c.00WWE_XDA2_HIMALAYA, first i've got checksum error, so ive made an editing with editfix, after that the himaupgrade checked that the rom, the extrom with strange version (its not like, eg. 1.40, it shows somekind of block & the other ascii character) except the radio. So I kept continue it doubtly & it 100 complete. After that ive got my device just showed with bootloder mode, even ive reset it. i guess that ive done a destructive way ( right ?) so i flashed it again with WM5_pack_V3.rar but with no extROM, & my device alive again so i tried to unlock my extROM with ExtROMUnlocker(for_WM2005_Only).cab, unhide was succeed, unlock was unsucceed, so what am i gonna do now ??? , please help me ... or i'll go to hell with the wrath of my parents .... hiks

Posting my experience for desingo
Well, i went so mad that i created http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
that wm5 has no extended rom, i downgraded to wm3 first.
created with the doc resize tool a 'partition" of 4mb's.
than i upgraded back to wm5.
installed the patch, rebooted
now my extrom is visible (see picture on the wikipage) and big enough to put files in, i consider it for now as the /storage of wm2003.
The data survives a registry and storage reset under wm5, but it wont start up,(yet).
The BlueAngel seems to miss a extended rom driver and some registry settings.
If anybody knows what files are used to be in the extended rom driver, please tell me, i
want to try with the wm3se files to recreate that "driver".
Or will the registry cab "EXTROM" thats on the wiki will do if they where integrated in the patched rom version?
After i installed this patch, after a reboot my autorun starts to "install"
So this is where i stranded with this problem, since i got wm5 on.
Curently running on my BlueAngel:
Wm2003SE 4.21.1088 Build 15159..2.6.4
Rom version 1.42.00 WWE
Rom Date 09/05/05
Protocol 1337.42
Radio 1.13
Bluetooth build 3900
Extrom: 1.42.115 WWE

under wm2003
if you resized your rom to go to wm5 you need to resize it back to ?? i gues around 12 or 16mb? for himalaya do not know the value, must be done under wm2003
Than reinstall the wanted extended rom in .nbf with the no id loader.
note: make sure other 2 are nbf are not in, unless you want to do a full upgrade again.
You can always see ur extrom again, but it must be bigger then 128k
and use the extrom cab or a extrom unlocker tool.

i think i dont understand the problem proberly. :lol:
Once you upgraded to wm5 with 60mb storage, you wiped out the extrom password, so your extrom is already unlocked.
so if you go back to wm3 your extrom is stil unlocked.
n the nbf i should install is only the extrom ??? what the difference if do a partial downgrade and a full one ???

Only if you want to stay om wm3
The time, id could save you 15minutes, but you must be running wm3 and resized your extrom back to the original size, before you can reinstall your extended rom

U need to unhide it. use the cab from mamaich on the wiki page that i created
Hi, I have a qtek9090 (as shown in my signature) and tried to upgrade to WM5 TuMa 1.3.
I followed ALL steps (also the steps to reformat extended rom), but at the end of the upgrade I am unable to see extended ROM and to install the applications. More I've a very slow device and a lot of sync problems.
Now I have rollbacked to WM2003 SE using the standard ROM, but I want know if there is a solution.
I think that your is a very very good job (porting WM5 on the BA) and that maybe all are problems due to my errors, but I read a lot on these forums but didn't found a solution. :?:
many thanks
Carlo (Milan, Italy)
did you doing unlock and unhide the EXT ROM with tolls on WIKI
Yes, I did that. My extended ROM is visible until flashing ROM.
I'm using procedure described in
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
All the upgrade procedure goes smooth until step 8 (included step 5 copying EXTROM folder), but the step 9 doesn't happens and I can see only the "temp disk" folder as the storage.
bye
I was mistakenly copy the wrong rom into the SD card and run the cheetah unlocker - it starts to flash the rom. After that the TREO750 is dead and soft & hard reset will not help.
I can only go into the bootloader with 3 color screen. Pressing PTT and reset button.
Anything i can do to make this TREO750 work again ?

If you can access the tri-color bootloader screen, then your Treo 750 is NOT dead.
The ROM is bad or wiped but the bootloader is good...that is sufficient for you to flash a good ROM & get it up & running.
What do you see on the bootloader screen?
Which ROM did you copy into the mini-SD card?
You could copy the .nbh file from the original WM6 ROM Upgrade package & change it to CHEEIMG.nbh into a freshly formatted (FAT32) mini-SD card & flash using the mini-SD card method.
thanks konker. I finally figure out the way to flash it with original ROM.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem and I need urgent help please. I have ATT 750 unlocked and I'm outside the States now. My Treo was 6.0 then I upgrade it to 6.1 so far so good.
Then I saw a custom rom that I thought it was interesting. the custom rom was for HTC Dimond I think. without paying too much attention. I started the upgrade. It went 70% before the upgrade crashed.
Now my Treo is not responding to anything. I have the original ATT 6.0 SD upgrade and I have the 6.1 lite upgrade. I'm using CheetahUnlocker to flash the SPL (that is working) but when I try to install the 6.0 or 6.1 using Kaiser Custom RUU v1 it crash.
I saw the post above that suggest to place the original 6.0 on a freshly formated SD and install from there. that is not working either. when I try to install the software it goes into these steps before it crashes: btw, I have the tri-color bar and it has the following info:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
SPL-1.40.01iNex
while update in progress i see the following:
CHEEIMG.nbh
SPLASH1 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
GSM - OK
MicroP - OK
EXTROM - Fail
OS -
After the crash I get this msg: "Update Terminate Update Failed"
Any suggestion please? need more info? then let me know
Thanks in advance
Sam
Any answer
Hello Sam,
I actually had the same problem, did you get it fixed?
Please let me know, how?
Thanks a lot
Same problem here
In the 3 colored screen just displays this.
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.21.0000
When i insert the freshly Fat32 formatted SD card with the rom , apears "loading" for about 2 seconds and then just ends with the tricolored display.
Thanks for any advice.

You need to run Hard SPL first before flashing any ROM.
Your display would look like safisam's if you had run Hard SPL. (SPL-1.40.01iNex)

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM in case you have a bad file? Also, have you tried a different SD card, or re-formatting the SD card you are using? Sometimes that will help, and make sure the CHEIMG file is the only file on the SD card.

Hi all
I have the same problem, after some progress during the update it stops and now I can see just the Palm logo inicialyzing...
I stil can get the Bootloader Screen (3 collors), but when I try to pass other ROM It says "file image corrupted"...
I´ve been trying with 4 SD card that I have (512Mbs up to 2Giga), but nothing works...
It seems that the Treo doesn´t recognize the SD card!!!!

First of all, please indicate which ROM you loaded on your device.
Secondly, it would help the community to help you if you could state what software modifications you've performed on the phone. eg. HardSPL etc
Lastly, a list of installed software on your phone would be useful too.

From your description, it seems both of them are original stock ROM. Is your Treo a telco branded model or a unbranded unlocked model?
If the latter, you did not have to run the other utilities to unlock the phone...just flash the ROM.
I see that you ran the ExtROM unlocker...why did you have to do that?
The ExtROM is used to store device specific ROM customization that you should not have to bother too much if your ROM is a unbranded ROM (ie. not AT&T ROM etc).
If you left the ExtROM in it's unhidden state, that could be why the system is reporting the amount of free space to be so low. You should hide the ExtROM & then hard-reset the device again to see if that solves the problem.
