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,everyone.
I tried to upgrade my XDAIIs to WM5.but met "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"when I tried to resize the EXT_ROM.
I've done a hard reset and install the ext_rom files as a standard procedure.Then install xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB.
I tapped unhide then did a soft_reset,'unlock' then soft_reset.So I did see the ext_rom as well as copying/deleting files in it.
But when I used the DOC repartitioning tool with default value'128kb',I received the error "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"
I've tried several times,still doesnt work...
ROM:1.42.00 WWE
Radio:1.13.00
EXTROM version:1.42.119 WWE
Any help will be great.Thanks for advance. :x
me too!
I had this same error on an sx66. I have 2 of them one of them gave this error and I couldnt upgrade, the other worked fine and it's upgraded to wizard v2a now and doing great. Any ideas on what this error means or how to get around it and reformat the ext rom?????
Me too
Got exactly the same issue,,, At least i have installed wm5 without reformating the rom but I'd like to find why mine BA is doing that instead of the one of a friend, exactly the same origin... For my friends it works at the first time....
Hiya
I was searching XDA-DEVELOPERS website about 2 days to find a solution for this problem, I have an I-mate PDA2K, i used all EXTROM tools on this website like this:
1- Installed EXTROM_tools,
2- run UNHIDE ,
3- then run UNHIDE,
4- Soft Reset,
5- now i can see Extended_ROM on my file explorer, i can read it , and able to write on it ... copy paste ...
6- run REPART_DOC.exe on my device,
7- tried many sizes like 128kb, 1024, 2048, 512, 61000, .................
but on this step i always get the god damned FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed,
i finally used Task 28 under MTTY but nothing happened, still have this problem,
No Wayyyyyy ! No wayyyyyyyyyy to repart my DOC size, .... noooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
anyone going to help me plzzzzzzzzzzz ?
I second that request. I've got exactly the same problem, however with a genuine Qtek 9090. After unhiding and unlocking, I can delete all the contents of Storage and ExtROM. In fact, both are empty now. However, any attempt to use the partitioning tool only results in that %&$§/%(/ error message.
I've tried nearly any wm 2003 firmware since someone mentioned he succeeded by using an old pda2k firmware - still the same result. I've even changed the name of the Storage FS driver in the registry - no success either.
I'd be happy to provide some debug information or the like.
PLEASE HELP!
you need a language specific tool
z.b. in the german version programm files are called programme, but the link show on the englisch programm files.

My ExtROM _is_ unlocked. I did write that I was able to delete all its content. So it's quite pointless to talk about localized unlockers.
Reasonable comments, anyone?
There is I believe a way to do this through MTTY. At least get everything back to normal before running the resizer tool. (A way to bring DOC chip to factory formating) Its probably corruption of the DOC. I remember doing this on the Universal, I just don't remember any of that right now. Do an all device search for MTTY and DOC for a possible solution and verify it with some of the hardware gurus first before attempting.
Well, what I did is that
set 14 0
task 28
task 0
sequence which cleared the ExtROM and corrupted the boot screens (there are white stripes across it now), but had no effect on the DOC_repart error message.
I'd really appreciate some investigation from the gurus here since the problem exists for several years(!) now without any solution.
guys...
try this...
downgrade to wm2003
unlock/unhide/repart your doc first to your liking.
then upgrade to wm5 or wm6.

@Mods
(I hate to reply to this but i have to about questioning my reading skills)
---------------
Actually IF you tried it right for the first time you can never go wrong.
in WM2003
1. UNHIDE
2. UNLOCK
3. FORMAT_DOC set it to the smallest size
Because technically and sensibly:
You cannot unlock a hidden partition
You cannot format/resize a locked partition
That's as plain as it could ever be.
My 3-LINER INSTRUCTION is sufficient to solve your problem.
MTTY doesnt have to enter the scene it's only used if you have a broken mail button.
You(Generalizing) never said exactly where and what OS is you(Generalizing) are doing. Such WHINING deserves my straightforward answer.
So we give instructions, as we are given the problem.
What's not reasonable from what i've said?
Even a 5th grader can do instructions.
(now that's harsh)
FYI
There IS and WILL BE an Extrom in and WM5/WM6 even if you have changed it in WM2003. It's part of the BA.
You just cant see it and it's not being utilized. it's a Disk_On_Chip. if you managed to know MTTY.
You SHOULD know that.
ROLLBACK to 2003se then do everything right. Otherwise, read the WIKI.
and if you're sure you're doing everything right then you might have a faulty hardware.

Sorry to tell it that straight, but if your answer isn't due to a failure of reading, it has to be due to a failure of understanding.
Reasonable comments, anyone?
straight? duh! it's crooked.
i guess you know logic... the flow of it, then analyze this.
hello...
im NOT the one who has the problem here...
AND you are NOT the ONLY ONE who got that problems here.
your quote above this is in response to my post, is actually a RETALIATION.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND that my post's subject WERE the posts before
if its hard to comprehend then let the readers decide.
and regarding the extrom. i can access the DOC via MTTY with WM6.
which makes you wrong and im correct. nuff about that.
1. Nobody said factually and specifically that they tried it with WM2003 at one time (In General),
2. You've got a problem then im helping,
(i actually helped someone with my post and pmed me via yahoo... 3 persons)
3. I've helped... you berrated.
4. Not a good member, actually not constructive.
you wont get any reasonable answers if you yourself aint being reasonable.
actually i was the only one who posted some help for you,
and that is how you react.
ahaha... i hope the mods are reading this.
i gladly like to hear their reasonable comments and close this thread.
This thread is to investigate a software failure which circumstances are accurately described, not to please your ego. Your past contributions were useless since you didn't pay attention to the specifications given.
There's no point in repeating inapplicable phrases, and doing so in spite is not what I call "some help" - it is in fact pure nuisance and puts the problem solving at risk.
Please keep your narcissism out of this thread. Thank you for your understanding.
is this probleme solved??
Maybe you try this:
1. Downgrade to wm2003s
2. copy unhide&unlock (*.cab) to main memory and run it
3. start/program/extrom there we have 4 program ( hide, lock, unhide, unlock) --> run unhide then unlock ---> softreset
4. copy repartDOC (*.exe) to main memory and run it:
- format with 128kb --> you'll have 60Mb storage
- format with 16000kb (recomment) --> you'll have 45Mb storage
6. then Upgrade to wm5.0 or 6.0
7. after upgrade --> do a clean with record+camera+softreset --> no/ yes/ yes
Enjoy

And that's the point where the mentioned error message occurs.
Some fellow posters and me tried some dozens of different wm2003(se) versions on their Blue Angels, ran virtually any unhide/unlock tools available here, cleared their ExtROM and Storage areas to the very last bit, even tampered with the bootloader accessible via MTTY to get things in order.
To me, it's out of the question that most of the posters who've reported that error could be to simpleminded to follow the few instructions. It appears that there are some devices which have to be either different by hardware or by software that can't be repartitioned by the published tool.
However it's a fact that the Blue Angel is an outdated device these days and I fear that the dev gurus won't pay attention anymore.

Ah. Fine. Thanks for your story.
WE DID USE WM2003SE
WE DID UNHIDE AND UNLOCK
(I even told you that we deleted all content of ExtROM and Storage)
We're NOT to crackbrained to follow some simple instructions. because of that...
PLEASE EVERYONE
STOP SUGGESTING
1) to rollback to WM2003SE
2) to use the unhide/unlock tool properly
WE DID!

Hi there
I'm trying to downgrade my Qtek9090. I have WinMob 5 and I want it to be the Rom from http://www.orange.ch/offers/orangePhones/spvM2000/spvM2000Rom?ts=1144157178509.
Now, I got the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and I did just use it like its written...
Now I have Win2003se but none of that stuff provided by Orange in this Rom (At the first start it said some stuff was missing and it xould be deleted). Then I tried again without the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and still get a country error...
Do I have to re-partition the memory like I did for the WM5 update?
Thx for answers...
greetz
Well for wm5 you most lickly got rid of your ext rom as you wanted it for storage.
So now there is no place to flash the extrom so the cabs that are part of the extrom do not run and thus you get no ORANGE related files.
What you need to do is create a new EXT rom partion and flash the rom again.
This time you can delete the radio.nbf and the NK.nbf and just leave the MS.nbf (it will be a lot faster).
First of all, thanks for the reply!
great...now, how do I do it? Do I need a special size of the rom?
Sorry to say this but.....
Please read wiki
Ta
For more info you can read here
omfg this looks like work..
Sorry MDAIIIUser I used the search button (but only for the forum, my bad)...But anyway, I know you are very busy just read some threads while waiting for an answer...But you're doing a great job...All of the people here in fact...
i'm also downgrading to WM2003SE according to the directions on wiki,
BUT i have 2 questions:
1. i bought my qtek 9090 as a stand-alone qtek9090 (so not combined with a provider). does this mean i don't need the Extended ROM?
2. i aksed this question in another topic aswell, but lateron i found that this topic is more acurate to my question..so sorry for that!
here's the question:
in the manual, it says I have to download my latest favorite WM2003SE ROM version (which in my case is the Dutch Qtek DANGA001 version 1.40.00, EXTROM 1.40.556),
and FROM that file i should copy the nk.nbf to my "\DOWNGRADE TO WM2003SE\" folder..
and THAT'S what seems impossible to me, since the Rom-update i downloaded is an .exe application, and not a .zip or .rar archive..
so how should i get/extract/copy the nk.nbf file out of this Rom-update .exe file..?
i simply skipped that step but now my device keeps crashing every minute (even DURING soft and hard resets!)
HELP!

execute the application and search in C:\Documents and settings\NAME\Local settings\Temp for your file.
if you don't find it, continue on your application and try again.
thats how i had to do extract the files from my swisscom update file (wich was an exe file too)
I downgraded my spv m2000 from wm5 to 2003 and everything is fine apart from the phone doesn't work.
It just says no service all the time, can anyone help please?
Thanks.
Check the radio version on the boot screeen to see if the device sees it.
Check that you see the version under settings.
Check that you have a sim in the device
Check that you not in flight mode.
ok now onit thanks for the quick reply
Be also aware that in the boot process the radio can sometimes not load, no know reason for this but fixed with a soft reset (stick up the hole).
My device sees the radio version on the boot screen (1.06.02)
I can see the version under settings and i have a sim in and flight mode is off but still no luck.
Shall i try another sim?
Try your sim in another phone (and another sim in that phone).
What do you see at the top of the screen (should be a bar chart with an x) if you have no link.
I put another sim in and now it's all fine GPRS and Phone works
thanks for the help.
Would the device be affected if you had a pin code on the sim?
The sim code is only for the sim card.
Without the sim pin code you can not unlock the sim card.
Thus the radio will not connect to a carrier and you will not beable to phone out.
A phone lock is a lock that stops you putting in a different sim card into the phone (thus you need to stay with the same carrier)
This is a device lock and needs to be unlocked on the device to be able to put in a different sim from a different carrier.
Tool found on wiki
I would think that your first sim is either no longer valid (out of date or is a pre-paid with no money) or it has a sim lock that you dont not have the pin code of and failed to mention that it asked you for it.
Anyway have fun with the BA and read wiki for more info.
Thanks
Hi guys!
I have a couple of questions.
Last week I performed WM2003SE to WM2005 upgrade on my BA. It comes from German T-Mob. I bought it second hand, so I guess that the ROM I found on it was loaded some way along the road (it was WWE, and my device has a German QWERTZ keyboard layout, meaning it originally had to come with some non-WWE ROM..right?)
When I bought it, it had O2 ìsoftwareî (thatís called extended ROM, right?) v1.31, Radio v1.06 and Protocol 1337.45.
I had some problems installing newest WM2003SE as I was getting error about wrong CID when running .exe update file, so I went for Helmiís 2005 pack. Later I realized I should just rename .exe to .zip and extract needed files from WM2003 .exe updates. I used BaUpgradeUt (of course failed due to the wrong CID) and MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Firstly I upgraded to Helmiís WM2005 (v5.04.09 WWE), but after finished upgrade I started getting some errors for some missing or corrupt executable files after device starts up (see the screenshots), which disappeared when I reinstalled 2005 (reinstalling it for the second time I got those 3 check boxes on a boot loader screen, which I didnít see when doing the installation for the first time..that could be the source of my problems after the first installation). Someway along those actions I also cleared my storage (with a tool provided in Helmiís ROM, that has a red recycle icon). After deleting storage items, I found many apps found on original Helmiís ROM missing (good..I didnít need those
Then I decided to update my radio from 1.05 to 1.16 and it went ok, after I managed to connect the device in boot loader mode to USB cradle.
- Now, I find it rather strange to have that color-striped boot loader screen still appearing when I boot my device. Shouldnít it be replaced with some WM default or ROM assigned bitmap?
- I used GetDeviceData to determine the exact data of my BA and prior to upgrade it gave me something like this:
PH20B WWE some_letter T-MOB102 followed by ROM and Radio version.
After the ROM update (2003SE to 2005) I got this as a result:
PH20B WWE A T%CID? 5.04.09. 1.06.00 % 4
Then I upgraded Radio...
PH20B WWE A T%CID? 5.04.09. 1.15.00 % 4
As you can see, T-MOB102 part disappeared and itís replaced with an unknown CID part. I guess thatís why I still see the boot loader colorful stripes when booting/soft resetting my device. Is it a big problem, as the device works fine? Is it a normal occurrence after using MaUpgradeUt_noID?
- That ìProtocolî version/number (1337.45 in my case)..can that be updated and what is it?
- After the upgrade I noticed that my phone is not recognized as a PPC any more, but as a computer instead. The problem is that now it offers less services over bluetooth (only Active Sync on Mac and Network Access Point on Windows). On Windows computer, I cannot send any files through btooth OBEX and itís very annoying. Is that a problem with bluetooth and WM2005 on these devices one could read about on forums? Any way to fix it? I must say that I havenít installed the newest bluetooth stack (how can I check what stack version do I have now?).
I hope you're still awake after reading this
Answer is simple http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
And you will receive the same answer whenever you ask beginner question
I appreciate your advice, however, you must know that although some of my questions were beginner questions not all of them were such and those still require direct answers rather than some generic answer you provided.
I read the 80% of the BA Wiki before posting here and I haven't found the answers I need.
For instance, I still don't know why those bootloader stripes are still present..or what happened to my CID part in device data. If it's messed up, how come it's working? If it's ok, why it's not mentioned on the Wiki?
You may correct me if I'm wrong, but after reading all of that, I still don't know wha't really included in the backup or why my SMS messages are still there after I performed a hard reset, but my e-mail settings are deleted...
Saying "Eat if you're hungry will not solve the problem of a hungry one".
In general, that approach of forwarding noobs or people with such questions to a first page of an ecyclopediae is not a solution.
You're right wiki isn't enough, there is a search! And let me told you a little secret - there is a google, (you know google dont you?)
After reading wiki you MUST realize that:
Bootloader - no way of removing stripes!
CID part - You didn't follow the step-by-step proccess in wiki. And because you are beginner you should follow the Helmi install procedure (or read through WM5-BA page) And what is more important you dont even know anything about CID (use google - it is in wiki but not in BA section)
+
Because its not important its not mentioned in BA wiki.
Read something about WM5 how it works and the differences between 2003SE. (Like a persistent storage) <- answer to your SMS and hardreset question. And use google to find more information rather than asking more question
Hi.
First of all...sorry for my poor english
I have a problem with my
HTC P3600 (Trinity)(RUU_Trinity_HTC_ITA_1.23.408.1_6275_1.38 .00.11_108 _Test upgraded)
about the UNLOCK process of the extended rom.
With HTweakC i've made it readable so,now,i'm able to view the content.
After this i've tried with registry hacks i've found in various topics to make it writable with no success.
I used also HERMES_..rom.cab but the ext_rom itsn't writable yet.
If someone knows a solution or a simple advice i'll be glad.
Have a nice day.

There is a solution by OLIPRO which is supposed to unlock the ExRombut it does't always work,on the other hand if you use the SIM/CID unlocker by POF you will get a super CID device with an unlocked ExRom but with issues about your warranty.
If i were you i'd wait a bit especially if your device is new .
write problem ext_rom p3600 (trinity)
ok,tx a lot for ur useful tech info...i've searched for Olipro post and the SIM/CID unlocker and i've found it...about the warranty problem,i thank u for the advice,in effect my device is new...but curiosity...
In the meanwhile i'm going to try with registry hacks again and i hope i'll solve the problem without the unlock process.
If someone will found new tricks about this problem...i'll be glad to read it here
nice day at all
Olipro's extrom writeable unlocker isn't working.
At least it didn't work for anyone so far when we tried it a short while ago.
