Unlock Ext ROM Wizard Does not work after upgrade - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I have upgrade my OS to 1.6.7.1 on my Wizard and all works, but now it does not allow me to write to the EXT_ROM2, even after running Unlock EXT Cab wizard. It simply says when I try to write to it that it is only with.CAB files that it can not. I can put text files avi files but not .cab's or .exe's. Any suggestions on what opition I should set?

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.

Recovering Extended ROM

I was playing with the Disk on Chip resize utility because I am contemplating upgrading to WM2K5 now it is available. I used the Disk on Chip resizing utility to resize my extended ROM to 10Mb from its default, but I didn't check that I had got a good backup of all the CABs, so now when I unhide my extROM, I see an empty folder. I thought I hadn't unlocked it, but when I try to unlock it, I get
ERROR: FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning
I can however write to my extROM folder
I could just resize extROM back to 16Mb & reflash (I'm using imate 1.40.176), but I'd like to learn something from my mistakes & hopefully just put back the CABs into the extROM. The problem is I don't have the CABs, just the nbf files. How can I extract CAB files from NBFs?
OK, I'm stupid :roll:
I shoulda just looked on the wiki in the extended ROM kitchen, downloaded the RAR file of the appropriate ROM, unpacked it, copied the files into the extended_ROM folder on my BA & tested using a hard reset
Oh yeah, that's just what I did - it worked fine & I now have my extROM sized to fit what I need rather than the default. Apart from saving empty space, I removed skype from the extROM; I can't see the point of having it when I already have a perfectly good phone :wink:

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

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

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

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).

How to unlock Extended_ROM?

Rom I currently heve on my Wizard is K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship. I want to change it to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG with aWizard. I want also to change extended rom to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2, but if I'm trying to copy it to /Extended_ROM/ it warns me that it's impossible to overwrite files. I've deleted all files in /Extended_ROM/ with Total Commander, but those files are seemed to still be there since there is a question if I want to overwrite. I was trying to use Unlock Ext Rom Wizard from this forum, but when I install it to my Wizard there is being created /Extended_ROM2/, but I still can't copy new ext rom either to this folder or /Extended_Rom/. There were created in those folders strange subfolders which I can't remove. If anyone can help me I wolud be grateful.

Extended_ROM damaged?

Hi all, I have a QTEK 9100.
I installed the cab to unhide the extended ROM folder and after a soft-reset I installed Windows Commander/CE 2.0 on my device and when I try to browse Extended_Rom folder I have access but some files names are "unreadable" (I mean, weird characters) and report an impossible file size (example 3.03 GB!)
My question is: Is my Extended_Rom damaged or encripted? How can I get access to it?

Your extended rom is corrupted and recoverable only by flashing a new one into it. Either you deleted or tried to write something to it and that is NOT possible via file exploring; the only way to write to the extended rom is via RUU updater or via DOC writing (both ways require a 10MB image/backup)
Check my tool as it allows to write to the extended rom zone and unhide it as well without damaging it
