How to tell the rom is unlocked?

If you can delete files from \Extended_ROM well then it's obiviusly unlocked, and if you can se the folder \Extended_ROM well then it's obviusly Unhidden :wink:

Thanks!!

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.
Is this the correct tool or Iam doing something wrong. Thanks again

Download the UnlockTool

Open FileExplore on device

Go Start->Programs->ExtRom Tools->UnLock to be able to write to your ExtRom. Remember to lock it again when your finished!!!!!

I can delete files within the \Extended_ROM folder but can't delete the folder. Does this mean it is unlocked, but I can't delete the folder?

when i'm trying to unhide there's nothing happen after i soft reset i still can't see the Extended_ROM storage and when i'm trying to unlock (i'm using xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB) my device keep saying " ERROR: FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect." plese help me.....

try the cab i attached. if that does not work for you, you have one of those devices, that simply won't unlock. plus, looking at your signature, you seem to be using wm6. unlocking and resizing the extrom partition is ONLY possible in wm2003, before you try to access the extrom, you must downgrade first!

When I try to Format FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed

I have a Qtek9090 with ROM 1.40, radio 1.13
When I try to format my ROM to 128M wit the DOC_Repart tool I got the message FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed, even I can see create and delete into the ExtendRom.
I have tried to install some ship ROM but it doesn't solve my issue.
A friend who get the same Qtek as me doesn't had any trouble when upgrading to WM5. I have sent my Qtek to be repaired a few month ago, could it be modified by Qtek ? Does somebody else get the same issue than me ?

upz
i got the same problem too !!!
stuck with the issue
and using 2005 with less mem

Hi,
got the same error. *duh*
The phone was also sent to qtek for reparation.

Got it working now.
I´ve made a hardreset to install the normal ext_rom.
After that i installed xda-developers_unlocker.cab from wm5_pack_v3 and then resco fileexplorer.
Cause of the german naming of programme (not programs) i couldn´t use the links in startmenu to execute the unlocker.
I used the execute-function in resco fileexplorer to execute the following commands:
\programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom -unlock -xda3 and
\programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom -unhide
Then: soft-reset.
After that i copied the Repart_doc.exe from wm5_pack_v3.
This time it worked without any errors.

this is veri interesting news, i will try again in a min
ehheheh
the using resco to run is one different thing i did not do

so sad, give me hope
hehehe
i just tried this n it did not work also

thats it!! Im trying to format the extrom of my T-Mobile MDAIII for days now, but this is the solution! u need the tool mentioned here, the extendedromunlocker in EXACTLY this version with the "-xda3" switch ! Any other version of the tool will not work. Dont ask me why, but ive tried them all and ONLY THIS works! a huge thanks triplehelix.
i will attach the .cab for anyone who wasted hours to solve this damn problem!
greets
//edit: sorry for pushing this really old thread, but anyway, i think this will help anyone wo was as desperate as me.

dunno if this helps but, back in my Hima days, the "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE" error is due to the extended ROM not unlock & unhide.
you have to run the unlock & unhide procedure to avoid the FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE error.

really thanks, i have the same problem and with other unlockers can't work, Repart_doc.exe anytime give me this error, next time i format my pda want try this to format my extrom

Still an't working for my XdaIIs....

Can you attach the 'Repart_doc.exe' file...
I can't get my device formated....

its located here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Tools/Repart_DOC.exe
have you tried to unhide and then unlock with the "-xda3" switch ?
i use SOTI PocketController to remote control my device. it has a "command line" interface included. here you can type dos style commands. execute the unlocker, inclusive -unlock and -xda3 switch.
for example: \programme\extendedromunlocker\unlockextrom.exe -unlock -xda3
this is the most important line.

this time for me work very well, but have reflashed to italian W2K3 Swisscom 1.40, on this rom Program Files are named Programmi like in any other italian rom, just copied (with resco explorer) the entire folder from "programmi" to a new folder created by myself under device root named "program files" and without any change to original link in windows/start menu/extrom tools are not needed
for me work on first try with this method, and now have missing megabytes of valuable space
all files needed are picked from this thread (except for rom and resco explorer)

still not working
I've tried all the method above... but still not working... I've tried a lot of roms but still... any other sugestions?

Hi guys
I tried everything but I just can't get extended rom to be formated.
Maybe someone as a better idea to solve the problem
Greetings Kapiza

Is there a way to make Storage bigger?

Is there a way to make Storage bigger?
I've an unlocked and clean Extended_ROM folder, is there a way to merger it with Storage like on Magician?

yes u can, but please be aware that by doing this, all your data in extended rom will be permanently erased. please download the file i attach with this msg and follow the instructions:
1. Copy Repart.exe to your device and launch it using file explorer on the pda.
2. Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb
3. Press "Format now!" and wait until it is done (A few seconds). You will see a message that it is done.
Soft reset.
good luck.
imatrix

Wow, great!
Now I have a Storage about 60Mb!
Thank you, imatrix!

Hi i tried it but i'm getting the following message
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVR failed.
What should i do ?
THanks

WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS MOBILE 2003(SE), DONT DO THIS, BECAUSE THERE MAY BE IMPORTANT FILES IN THERE STORED BY YOUR OPERATOR.
download the attachment file. install it. then go to start -> Programs -> ExtROM tools -> on your pda, then first run "unhide", then "Unlock". Do a soft reset.

hi. what could i be doing wrong?
i'm on tuma 1.3 already with only 43MB storage. is it possible to get 60MB while still in wm5?
i tried to unhide and then unlock. i'm successful in unhide, but i get an error message "FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The paramater is incorrect." during unlock.
so i also get a "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVR failed" error message when i run repart.exe.
btw, i still don't understand how to go back to wm2003se, even after reading so many threads.
EDIT: i may be on the right track. i guess i need to be in wm2003se first to run the two applications, so i have to downgrade from tuma 1.3. i've downloaded the old rom, and extracted it. will go back to it later.

yes, i now understand i shouldn't use the ExtROM tools in wm2003.
haven't done the downgrade. what do i do now when i'm still in wm5? i still get the error message when i click on "unlock".

if u read up there is a file name xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB which u can download, follow instruction to unlock and unhide the ext_rom then u can re-partition your ext_rom

Cool, so you can reformat in WM5? I thought I had to downgrade... that is if I am reading these post correctly.

afer resizing, u should do a hard-reset to make sure everything running smooth.

i still couldn't use the xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB in wm5 because of the error message when i choose unlock (though unhide worked fine).
i had to downgrade to wm2003se (i completely understand how to do the downgrade now :roll: ).
i'm now a happy camper with tuma 1.3, radio 1.15 and 60MB storage :lol:

I tried to expose the "Extended_Rom"-Folder on my P4350 (de, eplus,WM5) the way you discribed but no luck. The values I modified with regedit are gone right after soft-reset.
Any hints on that?

Please pay attention:
This is for Windows Mobile 6!
But i remember having the problem with the registry switching back on softreset (MDA Compact 2), but i can't remember how i solved it Sry mate...
Probably somebody else has a hint on that...

Sorry to mention: But with awizard you can dump the extended_rom also. And with total commander you can see the extended_rom without any reghack - and then you just have to copy the files to sd card.
Becuse you might get problems with camera application. Perhaps you can only choose "main" or "extrom" tehre might be no sd card - that was the problem for wizard when unlocking extended_rom
I would use totalcommander
And btw - the extended_rom is posted in Terra-dump thread.
lol

Well sry, but i'm using total commander, and there was no ExtROM already mounted. So i had to regedit. And can you gimme the link to the terra dump thread?

I did it once with awizard = it is 57MB
and with pdocread = it is 62MB
because the end adress is another on awizard than with pdocread.
lol
BUT be careful!!!
Hehe.
You can dump this rom perfect in anichillus Corekitchen. I modified it - BUT i forgot to reconvert the rgu to hv - that bricked my device.
But it works.

just to clear this a bit more into details... what do you mean by bricked ? completely burned, or just the rom got messed up? another question: is the bootloader part of the ROM or stored in another part of the device?
Today i tried to mount the IMGFS and it worked as i removed the whole htc anti spy dll, but it was only accessible over the usb/active sync connection and as of windows locks, some files couldn't be copied :/ pretty sad, seemed to be a easy way to get stuff out of the rom... 90% were copyable... the rest not :/

Bricked = only OS was messed up.
awizard = can only dump OS and Extended_rom --> IPL/SPL and all other is stored somewhere else.
pdocread = the same --> only OS.
We cannot flash IPL/SPL, Splash, Radio = becuase we don´t have an modified RUU or Bootloader like on hermes.
Please try to find a way.

Ok so.....what the hell does this do?

It reveals all the files your provider (O², T-Mobile, ePlus, ...) has added to the HTC Devices.
Mostly it's smoe dialers, bootscreens, themes etc.
For this ExtROM they even added bugfixes as well

BUT they are learning.
The MMS ans Internetsettings are included in ROM. SO if you disable the customizing after hardreset and the Extended_rom isn´t installed --> you have to delete the internetsettings manually.
They are getting better
lol

Well at least the O² ExtROM is a lot better than the t-mobile ones (or even the vodafone...).
Vodafone always tries to push his f*ckn "Vodafone Live" crapstuff and T-Mobile is always messing up screens and buttons -.-

Stop the custumizing after hardreset by softreset before 3sek....
Then you can accsess by totalcommander: just enter "extended_rom" in adressbar.

I have a Original Dutch HTC 4350 WM5 device. The suggested registry changes worked for me!
I have included the extracted extrom files.
Greetz RR69

Help me PLEASE...

I got the O2 Xda IIs Model PH20B and now upgraded to ROM Version 6.50.28WWE. Radio Version 1.12.00, Protocol Version 1337.42. The CPU is PXA263 wuth 400 MHZ and 112MB RAM. Flash Chip type 28F128K3
The office mobile doesn't work anymore, the things that haven't worked before (like PSSHutXp, TomTom etc) don't work. It can't be connected to any computer not by Active Sync on Windows 2k or XP, and not with Windows Mobile on Vista. I have a lot of icons duplicated on the desktop with (1) behind the name aka Calendar and Calendar (1) and can't get rid of them.... what can I do? Can any one help me please? I am ready to throw that thing out of the window!
Thanks a lot in advance

.
I suggest you to do a hard reset...
Have you dit it when you was upgrading?
Because after upgrade you have to do it, to avoid problems with some pieces of applications , that have been left in your memory...

thanks for your reply, much appreciated. Yes I did hard reset it, it won't even use the Extrom on the SDCard to give me office or anything, even it said the cabs are installed. Stupid thing!
I now went back to the original O2 crap old ROM and search for 6.1 but I can't seem to find one that works, the ones I found on here don't install right away but go through syncing, which mine won't so it keeps saying the device doesn't respond lol. I think I seriously give up soon and just throw it out I had enough, and I am good with computers etc usually, I build them and all, just I never had a PDA before.
Anyone know something?

if it didn't use the extrom from the sd card you probably still have the internal extrom in the device and forgot to format and resize it before you first upgraded to wm5 and above. what you need to do to get rid of all that old crap is:
1. downgrade to your shipped rom, remember, now that your device is WWE, you need to use MAupgradeut_noID and botloader to avoid country id and device id errors.
2. download xda-unlocker.cab and repartDOC.exe and put them on an sd card. install the unlocker.
3. run the unlocker by going to the start menu, EXTROM tools, click "Unhide" then "Unlock"
4. run repartDOC and set the size to 128kb
5. run the unlocker again by going to the start menu, EXTROM tools, this time click "Lock" then "Hide"
6. now your device does not have the internal extrom anymore, meaning you have 16MB more storage capacity and you can use extroms coming from the sd card.
7. then flash back the new rom, say wm6.1, again using the MAupgradeut_noID and bootloader mode.
8. when done, perform a hard reset, notice that the procedure for hard resetting changed, (press reset+power+record+camera)
9. in the menu appearing, the options ARE set:
Enable KITL: YES
clean registry hive: NO
format storage: NO
using the camera and record button, flip all the settings, so it says:
Enable Kitl: NO
clean registry hive: YES
format storage YES
10. confirm with the mail button, your screen turns white, and after some time, the device boots and installs the extrom from the sd card.
that is the procedure to go through, when first upgrading to wm5 and above and since your device made special problems, my wildest guess would be, that you forgot to resize the extrom, which is the reason the sd card's extrom was not loaded. plus you probably performed no hard reset or did it wrong, which is why the device was filled with garbage even after flashing a new rom.
if that manual was to fast, or you didn't get any of the things above, there is a wizard (assistant, not the device) in the wiki, to guide through the upgrade process, there you will also find the download links for the mentioned unlocker and repartdoc:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0
that link is already one step into the problem and starts with the extrom resize, assuming that you flash your shipped rom first, and need no help doing that.
remember: you cannot resize your extrom from wm5 and above, for your device to run properly, you need to go back to wm2003 first.
have fun and good luck with that

Thank you very much Chef Tony. I was willing to put it up for sale but I will try what you suggested once again, even I am sure I ran through it all and did it, but it doesn't hurt to try it again. If I am still too stupid to use the Blue Angel, or still don't get along with it, I can always sell it afterwards.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
UPDATE:
I have done it on my XP computer this time, not Vista, and it worked. The other thing I did wrong, no laugh at me if you want LOL, but I am a novice and have my blonde moments , and never did this before, I unrared ALL the files in the EXTROM Folder... this time I only unrared the main folder and put them all on the card as they were inside that unpacked EXTROM Folder. Works like a charm now and the programs are installed and I can use it... saves me a LOT of money as I was ready to sell everything I have to sell to get the iphone, now thanks to you I can use the XDA IIs as it should work.
I owe you one! VIELEN LIEBEN DANK FUER DEINE HILFE.
