Anybody knows where I can find xda III extended rom unlocker tool. Thank you
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_22/Tools/xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB
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

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!
... 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.

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

Hi all, i've installed WM5 on my blue angel, but i was unable to resize the storage card to 60 mb (i would to make it), because everytime i try to launch on my device resize_doc.exe, i receive the following error:
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed.
this happens on both wm2003 (before upgrade) an WM5 (after upgrade).
How can i resize my storage card?
PS: after the installation a new drive named TEMP DISK has appeared? What is this?
Thanks

Perform these steps in WM2003SE
1. unlock extrom
2. unhide extrom
3. resize extrom to 128k
you now have 60 mb storage (it is storage, not storage card)

Very strange... i've asked a friend with an imate p2k and the tools worked correctly, so i've downgraded to an imate wm2003se rom (my was a qtek one) and everything goes ok..
I'm glad i was helpful
is there any way to resize this without downgrading?

try this fix....
you should try to flash your extrom to another language of Extrom... or another carrier.
according to the bottom notes of THIS(Read this) post...
then try the procedure again in WM2003
PH20B O2___001 (O2XdaIIs)
Tried that ROM, as well as others to no avail. Installed WM6 anyway, let the internal battery drain, and random stuff disappeared. Owner info, start menu and today items, program settings, etc. I assume because it was stored in volatile memory. Please investigate!

Device: HTC 4350 - Shipped with original WM6 ROM. O² XDA Terra
Use a registry editor to change the following values (or just download the ExtendedROM_HTC4350.reg.zip and run the .reg file from your device):
Code:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Name"=""

"DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1"
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:00000001
Make a softreset and after that you should see a folder named "Extended_ROM2" in the root.

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.

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

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.

As people keep asking over and over... I'll remind you all the procedure of joining your ExtROM with a storage space, giving you as much storage, as 30.53 MB
First, you have to download ExtROM Unlocker, install it on your device' storage (not on SD card, nor on RAMDisk!). This will give you 4 shortcuts in Programs folder:
- unhide ExtROM
- hide ExtROM
- unlock ExtROM
- lock ExtROM
First, choose "Unhide ExtROM" and perform a soft reset. After that, choose "Unlock ExtROM". Perform a soft reset.
Now, get HimaDOCTool. Run it, and do a DOC (disk-on-chip) format.
Then, hard reset. Generally it should be enough, but you'll be safier if you will do it this way:
1. Hold Camera and Record button and press reset. Hold it a while, until you'll see three options at the top. Choose:
* Enable KITL: No
* Clean Registry Hive: Yes
* Format Storage: Yes
You can walk between them and change with Camera and Record buttons.
And press Action on your DPad.
Voila
Attention!:
Ather90 developed an UI (user interface) for above apps, which gives you a lot easier progress with this task. All the info about its usage is contained on the first page of this application.
Just what i was looking for ...
thx
sticky!
........
thanks very much buddy i really need this
I'd like to throw in that you'll get a 'trusted certificate error' unless you install the unlocker on the device - running off the storage card won't work.

2) install on Storage, not on RAMdisk either
This step should show in Start>Programs 4 icons (shortcuts) named
-unhide ExtROM (use for step 3)
-hide ExtROM (do not use)
-unlock ExtROM (use for step 5)
-lock ExtROM (do not use)
Do not look for a FILE called Unlock! It is a SHORTCUT in the PROGRAMS folder.
If after step 4 you either do not see the unlock icon, or if it shows some neutral icon instead of something that looks like a yellow padlock, or if you get a "unknown certificate" error when you cilck this icon, it probably means that you accidentally did install on RAMdisk or SD card. In those cases go to Settings>Install>Remove Software, select ExtROM Unhide/Unlocker>remove, soft reset, install again, this time to Storage, EXTROM should still be unhidden so go straight to step 5 and so on till DOCtool is finished.

Never say never. Not the NAND ROM itself is the limit but the fact that the OS currently only allows itself to look there for Storage. In theory a kernel hack or a driver could change all that.

Restore ..

what happens with my (in Extrom) installed applications if I use the DOCTools Restore function ? Will they simply be overwritten ?
