Can't write Extended Rom

I am unable to unlock the extended ROM and read and copy the data contained there but I cannot write to or modify any of the files there.
Is there anyway to unlock the flash for write operations?
Thanks

Cabs are read only in ext rom, change the attrib.
The xda tool has an unlock and an unhide. one is to beable to see the ext rom the other to write to it

i gave that a try, it seems that the rom is read only, I am unable to copy additional cabs to the Extended rom.

Is this a Harier device?

Did you do a softreset after the unlock?

Yip, I also tried the same process after an O2 upgrade rom, same results
If I use the exe lock tool with -unlock I get an error

Well dont think you are using the same tool. Pop of to wiki in the kitchen under kitchen tools. Try that one, its the one I use.

I used this tool
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools
The unlock tool on the top of the page
I also did a hard reset and now when I execute the cab I cant even see the Extended Rom now, I was able to see it before, I just couldnt write to it.

I found a smaller rom viewer cab, I can see the extended rom now, but I still can't write to it, it tells me the media is write protected.

Hope you meant soft reset.
Thats the correct tool, you need to unhide, softreset, unlock, softreset
The files are under programms extrom tools

nope, did a hard reset to be sure, ok so I unhide with the cab file reboot, then run the exe with a -unlock and reboot then I should be ok?
I will try again.

ok, I get ERROR: FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
any ideas?

Sorry time for me to give up on you. Just to convince myself that I was telling you the correct steps i installed the tool again, softreset, did a unlock (got an write protect error) so softreset again. Thus confirming the fact you need a softreset after both actions.
"then run the exe with a -unlock "
This part a fail to understand on the tool of wiki you end up with an icon, you tap it, "no run the exe with -unlock"
So as you have a BA and not a harrier were we know you need a differwnt tool, and as you are using a tool that we know that works the only 2 conculsions I can come up with are.
1) You have a faulty device
2) you are not using the tool or the steps needed to run the tool in the correct manor.

problem upgrade extended rom

after I install the extended rom unlocker on my sx66, I only see in the extended rom folder an unlockextrom exe and when I run this exe a small window appears debug and inside this it says Usage: unlockextrom[-lock/unlock][-hide/-unhide]. And after if I press ok nothing happens. I tried to soft reset, but still couldn't see the unhideextrom.exe. Can someone help? Thanks

German Wm6 Kitchen

Finally I succeeded in building a German WM6-ROM for my MDA2. Here is the instruction.
( -> means backslash )
1 - Download and extract all the needed Files:
------------------------------------------------------------
Tofclock Hima WM6 Aku.0.7.0 Kitchen (thanks to Helmi_C and Tofclock)
http://rapidshare.com/files/55266969/TofClock_HIMA_WM6_AKU.7_Kitchen.rar
German kitchen files
http://rapidshare.com/files/81961660/German_Kitchen.zip.html
2 - Modify the Tofclock Hima WM6 Aku.0.7.0 Kitchen
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Search and replace all files from the directory "files (search and replace)" into Helmis kitchen.
You will find them in SYS, OEM and subdirectories.
Replace the files "initflashfiles.txt" from the directory "initflashfiles" into the specified directories.
Put the registry-files from the directory "registry" into:
1bc57b2f-c0f3-46c6-8c2a-257952317eac.rgu >> "OEM -> OEM_Lang_0409"
fbfe1426-7068-4259-924b-9c3582ec2c9d.rgu >> "OEM -> OEM_NetworkWizard"
3 - Modify all files "initflashfiles.TXT" of your used OEM Packages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
replace "Windows -> Startup" with "Windows -> Autostart"
replace "Windows -> Startmenu -> Programs" with "Windows -> Startmenü -> Programme"
!!! Now the kitchen is prepared to build your own favorite german WM6. !!!
4 - Build and flash your own ROM using "BuildOS.exe" and "CreateROM.bat"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - Hardreset your device
----------------------------------
!!! The Welcome procedure will appear twice. Thats a known Problem. Dont mind. I dont find any solution. !!!
6 - Last steps
-------------------
Delete "welcome.lnk" from directory "windows -> autostart".
Goto "Start-Einstellungen-Sytem-Ländereinstellungen" and select Deutsch (Deutschland).
Goto "Start-Einstellungen-Verbindungen-NetworkWizard" and select your Phone-provider.
Install "German Input for WM6 by ZakMcRofl.cab" from directory "german keyboard".
Now you have a german WM6-Device (99%).
My own MDA2 works perfect, but I dont use and test Office, Transcriber and IExplorer.
Enjoy
edit:
Replace attached File in OEM -> OEM_SAP, solves Problem see Step5, Deleting "welcome.lnk" from directory "windows -> autostart" as discribed in Step 6 not longer necessary. !!! Thanks to Teijak !!!

good going..

Hello dkamin
in initflash.dat rename welcome.lnk to willkommen.lnk and bug in step 5 is solved and step 6 not necessary any more.

@Teijak : Thanks for your advice. I tried and it works.

Hello dkamin,
do you have a tool to search and replace the files automatically?
There are many files to replace

Hello cxler,
I'm sorry, but I don't have such a tool. But it isn't as much work as it seems. The most of the files you will find in
SYS->Base_Lang_0409
SYS->Browsing_Lang_0409
SYS->Office_Lang_0409
OEM->OEM_Lang_0409 (very important Files)
OEM->OEM_SAP
good luck!

Hy
can i change the country settings in the rom kitchen ??
6 - Last steps
-------------------
Goto "Start-Einstellungen-Sytem-Ländereinstellungen" and select Deutsch (Deutschland).

What we do to get our German ROM is
- take an English ROM
- get the German Files from any other German WM6
- rename these German Files into ...409.mui
- now build our translated ROM
The Basis leaves an English ROM and Regional settings leave English as default.

i have canche all files
about the country settings is in english and not in german !
what is the name from this file ?
sorry for my brocken english !
chatter

Great work, do you have a version for WM6.1, too?

I'm sorry, but i don't have a version for 6.1. The reason is, that I don't have any german 6.1 Rom from any other Device to extract the needed german files.
mfg dkamin

can u tell me the names of which files to extract...i will do it

Hello Ather,
to produce my german 6.0-ROM i had to replace about 110 files. It would be much easier, if you could give me a link to a german 6.1-ROM of any Device.
thanks, dkamin

can anyone guide me through how to cook ultimate theft alert into tilt rom?

I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
Alan

First you need to learn how to cook. Read the tutorials and if that doesn't make sense, watch the videos. From there, it's just a matter of adding another OEM package.
If you have problems while cooking, respond to an existing thread for the quickest response, as others will (and have) ignore any cooking questions not posted in one of the existing threads.
Hope this helps!

These steps will guide you to install UTA on extended rom to survive hard resets.
The principle is to disable security warning in OS so that UTA will be installed from ext rom after hard reset.
This procedure is tested and working on HTC Touch (elf) (128/256) but should work on other htc devices also.
Follow these steps at your own risk.
STEPS:
1) Build your own customized UTA.cab (let us name it CUTA)
2) Get the official version of ROM on the net/extract ROM from your device.
3) Extract .nbh images from ROM
4) Inject CUTA to EXT_ROM
5) Add the OEM folder (disable microsoft security warning) to OS_NB and rebuild OS
6) Rebuild ROM with above changes (let us name it CRUU_sighned.nbh)
7) Flash device with CRUU_sighned.nbh
It is a complicated processes but easily done if all the steps are followed carefully.
Step 1: Build CUTA:
-install UTA on device
-register it
-add all your SIMs and the numbers to send sms to.
-Save and Exit
-copy the relevant files to desktop
-use WinCe Cab Manager to build your customized UTA (name this CUTA.cab)
-Make sure to uncheck the option "Allow user to uninstall this Application"
-Uninstall UTA on your device.
-Install CUTA.cab and confirm it is working perfectly by changing sim card.
-make sure UTA is not listed in Remove Programmes
ALL this is very important if you want UTA to work perfectly after hard reset.
Step 2: Get official ROM/extract rom from your device :
Link for Htc Touch ROMs: Blue Elfin Rom)
ROM can be extracted from your device using HYPERCORE kitchen
Step 3: Extract .nbh images from ROM
-download NBHextract Tool
-use NBHExtract to extract .nbh files from RUU_SIGNED.nbh
-you will get 6 files out of which we want to modify: 05_OS.nb and 03_ExtROM.nb
Step 4: Inject CUTA to EXT_ROM
-Download WinImage
-open 03_ExtROM.nb in win-image
You will see few .cab files and one config.txt file
- inject CUTA
-open config.txt and add this line before "LOCK: Disabled"
CAB \Extended ROM\CUTA.CAB
Step 5: Add the OEM folder (disable Microsoft security warning) to OS_NB and rebuild OS :
HTC TOUCH device:
Replace 05_OS.NB with this 05_OS.NB ( I have added the OEM folder to disable security warning to this OS.nb... no other changes are made.)
NON HTC TOUCH devices: after extracting ROM by HYPERCORE kitchen add this OEM folder. (Detailed instructions are in read me file) and rebuild OS_NB
(Security_off.zip file uploaded in next post)
STEP 6: Rebuild ROM with above changes (let us name it CRUU_sighned.nbh)
Download Dark Simpsons ROM Tool
And build your customized ROM using the new modified 05_OS.nb and 03_ExtROM.nb
Make sure to select your device from the drop down box (HTC TOUCH users should select Elf)
Rename version to 1.00.000.C (for your convenience)
STEP 7: flash device with CRUU_sighned.nbh:
Download: Elf_USPL
Run ELF_USPL and follow on screen instructions and complete all the three steps.
This will downgrade the SPL
-open the RUU folder, delete Elf_USPL_V1 and paste CRUU_SIGNED.nbh
-After the device has rebooted and synchronized run the RUUUpdate utility (in the RUU folder) and flash the device with your own ROM (version 1.00.000.C)
When flashing is successful
-confirm that the UTA Files are in place.
-soft reset device and confirm you get the beep of UTA working in background
-best is to remove your own sim, hard reset the device and insert a nonlisted sim and confirm that UTA is sending proper sms.
THAT's it ...you have successfully customized UTA to survive Hard resets

if u did hard spl once, do not do it again... to change the lenguage just flash any WWE rom you want !

i did that but i nothing happend
1- extract the file you got and rename it to ruu_signed.nbh
2- put the renamed file onto your memory card.
3- remove and insert the battery
4- press the volume down button and while pressing press the power button (keep both button pressed)
5- the mobile should start and give your three colored bars, keep on pressing.
6- a screen will come up showing it is starting to update. now release the two button.
7- wait till all update/intallation has finished.
8- remove and insert battery.
9- power on your mobile and do the initializations and wait for it to install some other programs and files.
10- phone will restart now for the final time.
here is what i Got
i get a 3 colour and
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
serial
then NO IMAGE and back to the above screen.
and i did that too
0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL (MFG SPL 0.52 is a separate attachment).
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
4) run X1_HardSPL.exe. (if you want to flash MFG SPL: at this point replace the extracted RUU_Signed.nbh with the MFG version of RUU_Signed.nbh)
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
but i got eurrer 202 what sgould i do now plz

Two problems here (at least)
1. You did not Hard-SPL (the three coloured screen should say something like OliNex 0.72. )
2. To load ROM from memory card, call the file KOVSimg.nbh, not ruu_signed.nbh, that's for loading from windows ROM update utility)
