Hi,
I upgraded to WM5 then realised I hadn't resized my ExtRom so I downgraded to 2003SE and tried to resize the ExtRom but I get an error: FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE_Failed . I have unhidden and unlocked my Ext Rom and can write files to it. I have tried hard resets etc but nothing works. Please help if you can.
If I can't resolve this what are the implications of leaving the ExtRom as it is and upgrading to WM5 :?:
Many thanks for your help
Simon
i am having this problem also
no solution yet it seems
the implication is tat we have less mem to use at 42 instead of 60
other than tat, its just a little performance hit, else works fine
i have this problem too !
downgrade to wm2003 and when trying ro unhide my extended ROM with extrom.cab , a folder with extrom icon apears at my device with label NAND Disk and i can't resize it to original size ! when trying to resize using REPORT_DOC.exe gettin the FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE error.
isn't there any solution ?! is my EXTROM dead ?!
Same here...
Same here... I have the same problem. I had search the forum for solution. Tried all kind solution. Even tried out different version of WM03 ROM to no avail. Hope someone out there can provide us with some help here.
Anyway, there are no implication for leaving the extrom as it is. Hope this help...

Hello
I am searching for a way to unlock a HTC Mteor. This is required because we want to sync the phone with Lotus Notes 7.
I have tried several tools, like regeditstg2...but nothing is working because i am not able to change any registry key.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Greetz, Che
I have attached official HTC certificate unlocking tool and sda unlocking tool.
step 1: install this cab on your device.
step 2: if full application unlocking is required, please run sda-unlock tools on your desktiop computer while ypur device is connected to desktop computer via activesync.
running these files will not invalidate your warranty. all changes that are made to the device registry by these utilities will be removed after device hard reset.
cheers!
Hello SecureGSM
Thank you for your support! I have tested it yesterday and it was perfectly working, i was able to unlock the phone and install the sync software.

no idea. But I will try it with my new Monet tomorrow. Who is your badged to (Virgin ?)
the bible for htc smartphone unlocking:
http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
indicated that Meteor and Monet can not be app unlocked. but this thread indicates that Meteor can be.
Could you try cert.cab and then spv_services on your monet and see if it works ?
Hello SecureGSM
i had the same problem with the Swisscom-Branded HTC Meteor. They locked everything, some Registry-Parts are write-Protected and the SPAddcert.exe didn't work.
But this cab-file worked perfectly, so thank you very much.
Thanks indeed! it works!!
BIG GREAT Thanx...
I was desesperate...U know like housewives...
After hard reset, I was unable to re-unlock my HTC Mteor.
After reading your post,
I started the cab from memory card.
I launched SDA-Unlocker from pc while Active sync was "on" trough bluetooth.
I restart my Mteor
I use checklock to confirm that everything is ok...
And...
EVERYTHING is OK.
Many many many thanx to you, guys... ))

this method works for*ANY* HTC manufactured device, be that PDA PHONE or SMARTHONE.
Failed to edit the Registry
Basically every action to do a full application unlocking fails because whatever tool I try (regeditSTG or sda-unlock tools), at the end every change of a registry key ends with the message "Unable to perform this operation".
I´m using the original ROM 1.13.251.2
Any idea what might cause the problem?
BTW - the SP_AllowCertificateInstall CAB worked and solved my original problem that I couldn´t install a certificate for our mail connection.
cheers ralf

Looks like the SP_AllowCertificateInstall CAB was the key for success.
After running the application unlocking tool again now the registry can be edited as well.

Installation of the cab file
Hello Secure GSM,
Can you please tell me more about how to install the cab on my device? For example I would like to know:
- Do I have to copy the file (it doens't seem to run itself)?
- Which file do I have to copy then: the .cab file or the .xml file (which is inside the .cab file)?
- To which folder on my device do I have to copy the file?
You would help me a lot by answering these questions!
Thanks in advance!
2 joosthuismans: The basic knowledge of WM installation is that if the file you want install is .cab, you must copy it somewhere to your device and run it by some file manager (DO NOT unpack it!), and if it is .exe, you have to run it on your PC. Sometimes you may need to install some .cab file, which is not suitable for your device and it can not be installed by built-in installer. In this case you can unpack it and install it manually following steps in _setup.xml file...
2 everybody else: sorry for OT, but I felt little bit sorry about him =)

SPJAS Unlock
I have I-Mate SPJas. I have tried several unlock tools including HTC Unlock toll, registry edit, SDA Unlock....
My original SPL version was 2.05 and after I ran SPL file I had IPL=SPL by des and SPL=7......
I have also applied other methods and my phones seems to be application unlock. But when I try to upload a new rom the phone goes to blank. I could never prevent this condition.
Is there a way to update Imate SPJas to Win 6.1? Which ROM works?

Hello
I write to you in search of HELP. It has happened to me what it is noticed in all around. When wanting to update my Qtek 9090 of W2003 to WM5 I have lost all the data (toasted). The only thing that works is the Bootloader (the screen shows “USB v.2 07”). A hard reset do not work.
How I can install the image of the WM5 from 0? Somebody can help me? Is there a program? I have tried it with the BaUpgradeUt.exe but it does not work since the PDA looks for the image (and this one this empty). I do not know what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Wing
read the wiki
did u read the wiki before trying the upgrade process? just download rom image and update again ur device, use maupgradeutnoid.exe instead of baupgrade..
How to use maupgradeutnoid.exe?
Hi borjok536
Thanks for the answer. I have used the wiki to run this process. I do not know what I did wrong but I did it
I have tried to use maupgradeutnoid.exe but I must confess that I do not know how to use it. I start in Bottloader modeand the program says that the device is going to be updated
from Device CE image version: (blank)
To: Device CE image version: (blank)
How do I say the program where to find the image (nk.nbf of 32 Mb)? Is it normal that the picture of the device in the program shows a Qtek S200 (PH20B1)?
Regards,
Oskar
Any new news??
Hello guys
I really need help. Someone has an idea?
Thanks.

You just place the nk.nbf file in the same directory as the exe file. whether you use the maupgradenoid.exe or the other one.
There is not another way to tell the executable where the nk.nbf file is.
C
No result
Hi cso5874
I have made this but the result is the same:
from Device CE image version: (blank)
To: Device CE image version: (blank)
Any other idea. Maybe I am not using the right program...
Regrads.
is this ur first time?
to update ur device? if you execute the update utility (baupgrade.exe or maupgradenoid.exe) and if u see the ceimage version is blank, just exit the upgrade utility and execute it again...
hey borjok536
i had the same problem.
The Upgrade utility didn't show any data of the Rominside the BA.
But just klicked on upgrade and it worked!
good for you..
, if you continue the update process even if the ceimage version doesn't appear, sometimes the update process will stop to n% ... sometimes it work like in ur case, but to avoid that problem you'd better exit the upgrade utility and execute it again...
Finally, the solution
Hi guys
The version is not shown because there is no version, the BA is empty. Finally I sented it to the Qtek tecnical service in Spain. They have put the old WM 2003 SE again (I want to know how )
So, I think I will try it again. How much time does the upgrade last? I have a message on the PC since 1 hour ago:
"Checking the information on your device... Please wait...
Please, don't disconnect your device from the PC or the power supply until the update is completed"
In the BA the Bootloader is shown. Should I wait more or the program seems not to work?
Thanks for your help!
Hello.
I want to upgrade my device to WM6 and need to unlock the ExtROM for merging the ExtROM and storage to one big storage.
I run the "unhide" command and can see the ExtROM, but writing and deleting is not allowed.
When I execute "unlock" or "unlockextrom -unlock -xda3" I always get the following errors:
ERROR:
FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION
A device attached to the system is not functioning
Since two days I google for a solution and found out that many people seem to have exactly the same problem - but there is currently no way!
Is it perhaps possible that the password for unlocking the ExtROM has changed? How can I find it out?
I tried it with the latest offical ROM (1.42) and now downgraded to 1.22 - always the same error.
Hmm, it's strange because the official tool (T-Mobile Germany) can write to ExtROM, so there must be a way to unlock it.
When I try to format the ExtROM, I get the error:
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE; of course because the ExtROM is still locked.
I am surprised to see that it is possible develop and provide upgrades to WM6 for Blue Angel - but nobody knows what is wrong with the ExtROM.
Thanks in advance for good ideas.
Best regards,
Ace of Aces
So, I have same problem. Nobody knows how to way out ?
are you sure that you didn't miss the step in the wiki?
Any progress for it?
@Ace_of_Aces
which wiki page did u get the info on how to do unlock EXTROM from? i've done this ages ago. cant remember anymore.
I had the same problem and this one solved it...

Hello. Can I use the Wizard Service too Qtek 9100l to change only one OS version from version 5.1 to 6.1 without change for SPL or IPL? I have a G4. Somebody help me to change the version in Windows Mobile 6.1 software. I mean this way can not use an upgrade program like "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" because the connection to USB phone is down after the restart in Bootloader. Thanks in advance.

hi there, look, you have to "unlock the device", then you will be able to flash a new rom.
but first read, and read again be4 doing anything.
(use the search button)
Good luck!
What?
Yes. thanks .. very encouraging .. The idea is that one time I failed and I left the phone without OS had to attend a service to do a new reinstall the software. But give me some details how to proceed? Thanks a lot.
