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

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!

do we have a ROM in the ftp that i can flush to?

do we have a ROM in the ftp that i can flush to? thats working? just wondered if that could fix my storage folder missing problem.
a link to the directory would do it. thanks in advance!
we have lots, check wiki
i mean is with an SD Card..the following doesnt work:
O2 Asia xdaiisradio10200.zip
O2 Asia xdaiiscerom11262.zip
XDA 2s HK Eng 1.31
Would answer the question then of why they were never posted in wiki!
The radio 1.10.00 you can install as per wiki
Extneded roms you can get all applications and patches form those roms that have been cooked of wiki
The operator customization is in the kitchen on wiki
As for the 02 asian rom, well nobody has uploaded a ship.exe
that was quick.
thanks for the fast reply MDAIIIUser!
last question MDAIIIUser..do we have a solution for my Storage folder missing problem?(please!) this the problem why i wanna try to flash a ROM with an SD Card..
I dont like flashing from sd, to much work!
I still think the i-mate 162 rom of wiki is good, used it untill I had to reflash my device with all the passed Type I and Type II versions on wiki.
Then went with the 1.31 arabic and cooked my exteneded rom, added the 1.10 radio and the BT 3900.
Both of these roms work with the old tool.
ive almost tried all the ROM on the ftp..but still Storage Folder disappears after my first reset. ow yea on the my first boot i can see the storage folder and on the settings in memory i can also see the storage..its full..i guess thats one of the reason why im having this problem. any suggestions on why did this happend and afcorse a solution on how to fix this would be the nice.
thanks again MDAIIIUser!
Hmmm...first time I see this problem...
What is in the Storage Folder?
ow yea also the Extended_ROM doesnt load(ive tried all the unlock cabs doesnt work..and also flash manager errors! task manager error connection manager error all of the permanent save options..i guess cause windows cant save it or find the Storage Folder..and after first soft reset as ive said it disappears..
please anybody..there must be a solution on this?!
Looks like something is seriously messed up.
I suggest as a last resort to reinstall a complete new SHIP ROM that is closest to your original configuration...you can always upgrade later.
Look here to find the version you want and download it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
Upload the ROM to your PDA in the cradle, not via SD card. Hard reset and tell us if that is better...?
i have this problem for a long time now..so thats why ive almost tried all of them..can you imagine how much this problem is really been a pain for me? DAMN!
ow yea in order for my IIs to work..i figure the reason why i always hang is because some folders are missing..like the extended_ROM and storage folder so i made a folder with the same FileName..after ive created the Folders it almost instantly stabled(doesnt lag when i press a button or somthin) and files already in them. like on the Storage folder the PerSaveBackup Folder is instantly created.
so i guess my problem is why is it when i hardreset some folders that are really important for windows to function are missing on my phone? how can this happen?

ARGH! Extended rom access - can it be turned OFF...

... WITHOUT a hard reset?
I enabled it, and got a surprise - the Storage Card disappeared from the phone's idea of where it could put things! That immediately voided my custom ring tones and about half of my installed apps, plus I can't install anything NEW on the storage card (as the phone now sees the extended ROM as the only other place!)
Is this reversable or do I have to do a hard reset (and reload EVERYTHINg again!)
Try REMOVING the SD Card, then do a SOFT reset, then reinstert the card. Worked for me.
there is a file here somewhere that disables it again.

I've searched for this but unless you can give us an idea of what it's called or who posted it this could take a while. Anyone got more info than "it's here somewhere" ? :wink:
Hide Extended ROM again
What you are looking for, can be found in the WIKI-Pages!
The program is named EXTENDED ROM UNLOCKER and here is the link:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/itsutils/extrom/
You can lock/unlock and unhide/hide the Extended ROM with this tool.
Hope this fits your expectations!
That's nice - its source. No compiler, no go.
Extended ROM UNLOCKER
Don´t know exactly where I found the download.
But the WIKI-pages have been the first station.
After grabbing my harddisk I can attach the file here.
The CAB-file has to be copied to the device and run. The links are placed under Programs/Extrom Tools.
If your folder is not ´Program Files´ (in Germany it´s called PROGRAMMME) you need to change the links or move the folder to the right place.
Sorry - but I didn´t proof the formerly mentioned link. :wink:
Or try this one I got from the WM2005 Upgrade forums...
Simplest solution....
Folks, it's only two registry keys.
Thanks to "Button" I have the answer:
To hide your Ext.Rom2 change these two keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000001

is it editable? or does this just show it? cuz i'm sick of downgrading, editing the rom then upgrading, finding an error, downgrading-edit ext rom - upgrade bla bla bla!

Unlock Ext ROM doesn't survive Soft Reset

Hi Guys,
I tried using the ExtROM_unlock CAB file for HERMES on my Trinity.
It allows me to write... but the changes made does not survive a soft Reset...
Please advise if there is any work arounds...
Regards
Fei Yu
But, exactly, what about the three .cab present in the ext ROM? What do they do? Is safe to ignore their installation (ie if they r only skins) or they represent some sort of upgrade/update of present features?
Well for soft reset survival you can try this hint read somewhere in the forum:
first exit your registry editor instead of minimizing it, then wait a while before doing the soft reset (around 30 sec if my memory is good).
Then you solve part of the problem: your Ext Rom keep unhidding BUT still write protected...
So you can't use it anyway :-(
And i didn't find any working solution...
about the 3 cabs in the ext rom i install them and did not notice any changes...

using sd mini to upgrade help

i would need some help how can i upgrade with my sd mini card if some one could help i could get my qtek working again and that would just be the best thnk right now so plz if there is some one help me
You need to get someone with same G3/G4 of Wizard to dump his/her Wizard ROM to the card using mtty.
ok and how i dump it can u help me or give me a site where i can read how to do it i know that the only way is reading but if you can give me a site than you are the man/woman :d
i am using qtek 9100 g3 if some one could find my the file or give me a place or a link where i could/can find it i would be sooo happy my phone is dead i can use it and i realy miss it so please
sry for the mistakes on the last post i am waisted
What you need is a MiniSD of at least 128MB (NOTE - All existing data inside will be wiped), the mtty program, and 2 CID-unlocked Wizard (One is your wizard, other is the wizard that dump ROM, both MUST be CID-unlocked first).
mtty can be downloaded at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9864
To dump the ROM, first kill the wcescomm.exe process on your PC or disable USB connection in ActiveSync.
Then restart the healthy wizard in BootLoader mode (Camera+reset), run mtty.exe and select \\.\WCEUSBSH001 as port.
After connected, enter "r2sd all", then ALL ROMS (IPL, SPL, Radio, OS) will be dumped to the card (If you only want OS, you may issue "r2sd os" instead).
After the USB> prompt returns, the operation complete. Put the card in your Wizard and reboot it, then it will have a prompt telling you to press a key for SD recovery, follow the instruction then it should be fine.
tnx my man your the best now i need a second wizard tnx
Search for OS dump for installing from sd-card
He man,
I have the same problem. After trying to get a dutch WM6 in my Wizard I ended up with a white HTC screen with the IPL/ SPL radio and OS (prophet 3.0xxxx) listed.
Don't know what happened: i was only surfing while loading the new OS!
So could somebody post his ROM (dump) so we can load from SD-card?
Thanx in advance!!

Its not possible to post any 'dump' rom or upload it,you can only make a dump or back up your previous rom on to a miniSD card or sdcard to reflash it to your phone.Read and try to understand the method already described in the above post by starkwong
Cheers!
Read and understand
I did read and thought I understood.
So when you dump the Rom of a wizard on the (or a) sd-card you end up with files on this card isn it?
So I thought if I can use the dump of a second Wizard somebody could do this and post me those files. I would copy these to my sd-card (via explorer in a other device).
Then I was planning to stick this sd-card into my bricked Wizard.
It is the same procedure as Thankwong described, with the difference that i am copying the files to my sd-card.
If this will not work I do not undertsand why not...

Thats what not possible,its not possible to dump the rom on a sdcard and then post the file from a sdcard.only this is possible if you have a friend with a similar phone and he makes a dump of his rom on the sdcard and you insert it in your phone to back up that dump rom on your phone,ok
solved the problem.
Hi all,
I've got a great tip from a specialist! Here's what I did:
step 1: load the battery to the max.
step 2: Put the Wizard in Bootload ( pressing power and camera button, hold camera for at least 3 sec. until you have a 3-colour screen)
step 3: connect Wiwzard to pc with usb cable
step 4: Use Draven187's ROM (in my case the 3.12.2.0)
step 5: Chose Vista Rom update (though I have XP)
step 6: Follow instructions.
step 7: HAVE FUN
It worked in my case!
So despite you cannot connect to your phone the Vista update tool can connect and update the rom.
I'm no specialist so I'm not sure it helps in all cases...
ALL CREDITS TO: DRAVEN187!
nope still error 260
this aint working for me
