Is there any tool to unlock the extended rom on XDA IIi? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike
I also would like this.
And mike, your picture of the XDA2s is the best modification i have ever seen for it
:lol: Thanks John
Trying to keep this thread alive, does anyone know of any tool yet.... that can unlock the XDA IIi EXTENDED ROM? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike
No bites yet. Come on any help out there. I need to unlock the XDA IIi extended rom.
same here and keeping this thread active... is there a tool (yet) for unlocking the xdaIIi extended rom?
Unhiding is no issue. Using ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.cab has no effect whatsoever.
@epicus:
how have you unhid the extrom? care to share?
for unhiding the extended rom, when I got the phone I explored what was installed and found a file called loadvdisk.exe inside the Windows rootdir. When I launched it I noticed there was a directory 'Extended ROM' suddenly visible, however I could do nothing with it. I could copy data from it, but could/can not put anything inside it. Kind of useless rather, unfinished. If I can 'load a v. disk' then where is the use of it??
Attached is the loadvdisk.exe, I found no keys for it in the registry, so if anyone wants a go at it, feel free, it's loaded by the basic WM2k3SE ROM.
As to a possible question if it works on a device other then an Alpine... dunno , try it.
The issue remains, how does the Extended rom get unlocked? The known registry flag for the ExtROM is set to zero.
Try this
Try http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe
If that doesn't unlock it, and gives a hardware io control
error, try using a binary editor on the file.
Look for ReIrRaH and replace it with eNiPlA
(Harrier and Alpine backward with alternating case).
Perhaps SuperDave would be kind enough to release
a version where the password is input at the keyboard...
Ehud
Thank's for your tools. It seems that will be near a solution but it's not unlock, because ;
First : TREFFS_DOC is now profile for Storage
Second : ExtRom is Profile VDIS and use VDISK.DLL and not TRUEFFS.DLL that does not exist
Third : Allocation memory is different than other version of QTEK.
And finaly, NOT USE THIS TOOLS THAT LOCKED My STORAGE, I'm HAPPY. I TRIED HARD RESET WITHOUT RESULT
!!!!
changing roms on xda2i
Does anyone know how to avoid country error code on the alpine when upgrading or switching roms? Does one follow the same procedure as that for the himalaya, or can I use the upgrade utility (with no id) that I used for the himalaya?
come on !!! i need too!! please engineers!
what do u think about this :
http://www.smartphone4u.de/xda3/grundlagen/extrom_unlocker.shtml
i tried but fail !!it can't not run!!
I need it too,please help.
I can not read/write my Storage after hard reset.
I don't understand for developer what is difficulty.
Today all owner of 2020i are locked to write in ExtRom and other (as mine) have also Storage locked in write.*
Pls Help us
Actually, there ARE tools to unlock XDA IIi, there are few doing unlock for XDA IIi on eBay, and this website: http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingHTCPocketPC_Instructions.htm also handles it. Its just that this kind of tools will not be easily released to us from the underground, other wise, who will they gain profit from?
Guess we have to either wait or pay if you are really in a hurry
Very interresting, but it's not a subject.
A specail forum about unlock already exist and don't confusion betwen unlock (SIM provider) and Unlock Extended ROM. Is this last subject for we ask help to develloper
Leonzhou, we're talking about unlocking the extended ROM, not about removing the SIM lock!
sorry guys, just ignore my stupid comments, just realise it's extrom lock not simlock
thanks anyway!
come on!!!
Hi All,
I've managed to get into my PDA2K's extended ROM, and fill it with my desired cabs.
What I need to know, is how to make an image of that EXROM and deploy it to, say, 500 devices. Without having to unlock, load, the extended ROM on each individual device.
I guess, I need to make an .EXE file (or MS_.nbf), kind of like WM2003 Rom editor style, so I can just cradle the device, and flash the extended ROM.
Does anyone have any idea at all how I can do this?
thanks in advance !
One of the guys who is occasionally around here is working on this. Maybe a while yet.....
I'm working on it with Sprite Clone ( http://www.spritesoftware.com )
this looks like it may work.
It's not ideal, however, as it's not free
i'll post my results though.
So will still can't build a MS_.nbf file? I have a few Orange PDA's and Orange UK are being soo slow about the upgrades that I want to use my own image.
Am I stuck doing each one manually?
Thanks..
Scott
Hum, that would be nice, cooking your own nbf's.
sjrixon
post or pm ftp link of rar file of cooked extended rom, add no extras,
confirm that you have tested this with hard reset,
confirm that you will install ndf at own risk,
confirm that you have ship.exe file to reflash device if it goes wrong
i did install the new rom..it does say a new name before installation and shows imate k-jam visual..on installation my device became extremely fast like a rocket in space without garvity :lol:
i have done all sorts of changes on my external rom before as mentioned in most of the forums and did get to remove the antivirus software from my previous version..but overall i still did never get the speed as my other pocket pc devices..thought it was the operating system..
Post new rom installation i checked for my extended rom to see that there was no skype or the anti virus software there anymore...means they have understood that these two were creating the problem...WOW...i am toooo happy now with the speed...yes i did hard reset it once more by adding the certifcate cab file so that i dont keep getting the sertificate notification and added commander as default installation...
MY K-JAM ROCKS NOW...OFCOURSE WITHOUT SKYPE
SORRY DEVELOPERS...I WAS CONFUSED...I WAS WRONG..THE NEW ROM IS JUST THE SAME ROM WITH CHANGES ON THE EXTENDED ROM BRINGING SKYPE AND ANTIVIRUS OUT IN ADD REMOVE PROGRAMMES...WHAT A DISASTER...WELL WAITING FOR THE NEW ROM RELEASING IN JAN WITH PUSH MAIL ,A2DP PROFILE AND A FIX ON PROBABLY EVERYTHING....FOR NOW JUMPING TO GET THE O2 ATOM ON THE 7TH OF DECEMBER
the rom is the same and it does not alter the extended rom.
Quick question, and a dead giveaway - did you delete Skype from your ROM before you installed this new firmware upgrade?
I really customized my Extended ROM, with a splash screen and different CABs, and when I flashed with this firmware upgrade, my Extended ROM remained UNTOUCHED.
Hey BTT how did you change your splash screen? Oh, and i love your new raffle I am in budy cross your fingers for me. Ill do it tomorrow I have to charge my paypall account.
i did what u did
i did change my extended rom as per your (BTT)directions...i even got a new picture of my company there..i did try both skype versions(1.1(non xscale version)and 1.2) in the extended rom with the config.txt changed...i did too many more things there as it was fun but nothing great happened with skype as it never worked but the first time....i finally just thought of trying the shipped rom from clubimate to get back all the way it was before so that i could redo everything...to my surprise after a complete flashing of the device there is no antivirus and the skype in the new extended rom anymore and also the speed is toooooooo god damn fast...believe me but its true...try again...i did chk the download a couple of days back when u wrote of it being the same and i think they have put another one just recently with these 2 files deleted....the shipped rom size now is 55mb...
i am too happy with this setup now as i just added your certify cab file too the extended rom and rebooted...its running at the best speed i have ever witnessed on a pocket pc...
What he meant was that unlike the magician and other previouse htc devices when you flash a new rom it doesnt change your extended rom so if you deleated any of the software from the extended rom it will still be gone. it wont reload the extended rom just the rom
That is exactly what I meant.
At last, do you think that upgrading helps to speed up the device?
consider that i have deleted from extended rom the antivirus.
Thanks
The very nature of assessing this is flawed due to the subjective component of the results. Having done this myself it is my opinion that this rom update is the equivalent of a hard reset. As the clubimate website indicates, the rom is a copy of the rom that shipped with the device.
...as I tought!
Thanks for the confirmation.
Bye
I did it and have had more problems since, dont do it....
if u say you had a problem by loading the clubimate rom means there is some change..though i am not a developer here like some of you guys on this forum but for sure there is a lot of change...also need clarification that if u say the new rom does not flush extended rom then how do i get the setup file back there(old extended rom had no setup file but the config.txt file)...i seriously have started feeling like doing this process again...but no i am way too happy now so i will stick with all my settings..
if you deleated your extended ro m or anything in it and didnt save it, then its gone forever... unless you find someone else who saved it and will give it to you. the settup file is on the ftp site here in the universal folder.
sorry chief...what I meant by saying what I said above is that I had deleted the setup file as I was using some other auto file with combinattion of modified config.txt.and yes it also had the skype file as default in it...and loads of other things like ring tones and alarms etc...(before making changes to the extended rom...I had backed up everythin on my computer so I am not bothered of the setup file
But after the rom upgrade what I saw is everything changed on the extended rom with the setup file back there...
just for my own sattisfaction now I am doing this all over again...

Ok well no one seems to be replying to my question about dumping my orange rom so lets try this instead.
How would i go about saving my orange homescreen so i can put it back once i have upgraded my m700 to the dopod rom.
Or, am i being stupid coz im sort of thinking that maybe the orange customization that runs on first setup is in the ext rom which will stay behind on the upgrade and i will therefore get all my orange stuff still
????? dont really know
Please help i really wanna upgrade my rom but i keep backing out until i can get these things sorted.
thanks all.

In the extROM of GPS enabled ROM, I can see this file : PT_WA_Abaxia.CAB which is related to this Orange customization. But I think that some parts of this Today plug'in are embedded with the OS itself.

On my Dopod rom I'm using the orange customisation from the Hermes ,the cab is HERMES_RO_BUILD_93_CLOCK.CAB,and it's working quite well except for the speed dial.
I think that the abaxia cab our friend mentions in the previous post should do the job.

How big is this file ?
mine is around 100KB I think (I'm at work now, can't check how big it is exactly)
Hi everyone.
in my ext rom on my trinity i have the file PT_WA_Abaxia. I order to test whether my ext rom had the correct stuff i hard reset my hermes and installed my trininty ext rom but this didnt seem to install the homescreen. Saying that though it wouldnt let me run the autorun so i had to install the cabs individually.
The hermes homescreen is older than the trinity one. I have never been a big fan of the orange homescreen but the trinity one is quite nice. You can add vip contacts which show up straight in the homescreen rather than having to use the speeddial thing, the background pic changes depending on whether the phone is on silent, vidrate or ring. All in all a but nicer than the hermes one.
more testing
right on my hermes which was factory settings including all orange customization i tried installing the cab PT_WA_Abaxia. didnt seem to do a huge amount.
I then renamed the old DIL_APP folder and copied this folder from my trinity.
I also copied the DIL_PLUGIN.dll from the windows folder on my trinity onto my hermes. Then i soft reset and my trinity homescreen is now on my hermes and all works fine.
So now i need to know how to get my trinity homescreen onto my trinity without the original orange customization.
When i was playing with my hermes last night i tried not installing the orange customization as this then seemed to allow phonepad to work. I then tried the same steps as i did above and i could get the homescreen to show up in the list. Therefore i can only assume that i would need to run the hermes cab to install the original orange screen and then rename it and stuff like i did above.
So in summary, i would need to save the hermes homescreen cab, and the dil folder and the dll file of my trinity. Flash my trinity with the dopod rom. Install the hermes homescreen using the cab. Rename the folder and copy the trinity one across and copy the dll file into the windows folder and all should be done.
Anyone got a better way, while i go off and test my theory.

You can find the cab (304kb) in the Hermes FTP extended rom section and in the Orange_M31_00_14.123.1.614_extrom

thanks for that, i saved it off the hermes. getting good at this unhiding my ext rom malarky.
anyway. i tested my plan and it worked on my hermes.
I hard reset
didnt do orange ext
installed the cab file HERMES_UK_BUILD_93_CLOCK
renamed the dil folder and copied the trinity one in
copied the dll into the windows folder
and hey presto
porbably a bit of a long winded way but it worked.
Hi,
How are you sure Orange wont know yourve flashed the rom?
Also how do you prevent the orange customization after hard reset on the trinity?
Thanks
Warny
well this is the problem. If orange check then they will know we have flashed the rom. That is why i want to be able to re flash back to the orange rom if i need to.
Easiest way to stop the customization on any device is to soft reset just before it starts, when windows loads up the first time on it you will see a little window saying customization will start in 3 sec or something. Just soft reset then and the customization will not run.
So far though i havent found any real reason not to run it on the trinity though. If i dont run it on my hermes at least i can get phonepad to work but no such luck on the trinity.
just to clarify, this post

was testing that if we flashed to the dopod rom which has phonepad built in, this is how we could get our orange home screen back.
The second line about not doing the orange ext was really just proof of concept that the process would work even if we didnt have the ext rom installed.
I dont know whether we will loose the orange ext rom when we update to the dopod rom but this was proving that even if we do we can still get all the orange customization back again.

OK I was hoping it would allow phonepad. So if you flash back the original rom is there any way they can tell? How close are you to doing this on your trinity? Thanks, Warny
well if we could flash back to original then they would not be able to tell. The problem is is that there is not a dumped version of the original orange rom. Therefore if we flash to the dopod rom we have no way of going back to the orange rom unless someone dumps it for us.
Realisticly there is no reason not to flash the dopod rom because we shouldnt loose anything but we gain phonepad. I do worry a bit about the fact that i cant go back again.
if you wanted to send the phone back though then orange would see that the bootscreen had changed after you have flashed to the dopod and might not be too impressed, saying that. If we flash to the dopod and we get phonepad and all our orange stuff then why would we want to send the phone back.
Oh decisions decisions

Hi,
OK i see. It seems from your post about your hermes that it might be possible to make the phone *look* like it has the original rom? (sorry Im half asleep today).
Are you considering trying the process out on the trinity then? (ill wait for you if so lol)
Also it voids the warranty so if it broke it would be nice to reflash to orignal rom so they cant avoid fixing it dont you think?
Warny
Warny
Yeah thats what i mean.
I am very tempted i just keep bottling it.
You are right also about the warranty
If there was an orange rom available i would do it without a thought.

Have you tried things like this?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
good thinking Warny, right i tried it and it appeared to work. I created a 128mb image. The big question is. Has it worked. We need someone to test my image. Or at least tell me how i can check it has worked and how er can create a rom from it.
Oh crap, just realised. Wrong phone. im using my hermes. god damn it.
Well it worked on that. I will try it on my Trinity but i need to go and get a mini sd card now.
Anyway still need the answers to above bits for when i make the trinity image
getting a bit rommy in here
Warny
lets take this rom dumping discussion over into my other thread, might have more chance of getting answered . I have copied our last coments over there.

Perhaps you could get someone to install the customizaton from your trinity on their trinity+dopod. Then see if there is any noticable difference?
