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 ve done softreset also

Download the UnlockTool
Put in on your Device, lets say \Storage\Temp
Open FileExplore on device
Navigate to \Storage\Temp\xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB and click on it to install.
Go Start->Programs->ExtRom Tools->Unhide to be able to se the ExtRom (Soft reset before you can se it)
Go Start->Programs->ExtRom Tools->UnLock to be able to write to your ExtRom. Remember to lock it again when your finished!!!!!
Go read the Wiki :wink:

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!

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

Screen align problem.

Hello, i just flashed the Touch IT 4.5. But im having problems with the startup screen align, the problem is that my screen is cracked and i cant do the align. Any way i can write some file, conectiong thought USB to my phone, or any other way to do the align?

Haven't tried it but maybe you should try mymobiler?

You probably have to edit the rom w/ the following (or maybe remove welcome.lnk in startup) to bypass the alignment (which I doubt Itje's rom is editable because of the nature of Bepe's kitchen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]
"Disable"=dword:ffffffff

..... Read my reply carefully. U need to "edit the rom". In other words, you have to edit the rom before you flash. Since you can't get pass the initialization page, you have NO WAY to edit thru PC.

OK, well i managed to get thro the align by deleting the welcome.lng
But now the touch screen doesent work.
Im controling the Pocket PC thought the Desktop PC with a programm. But even with it i cant do the align.
Maybe theres some registri settings for the calibration points, or something?
U need to be able to use the touchscreen..

you should create a file "welcome.not" and put in to SD card (if its called Storage Card), or to the device root, that shall work. (and do a new hard/soft reset )
that must skip the align screen.

I have a same problem.Align screen was skipped when i put welcome.not in SD but screen doesn't work right.
how can i fix screen without align screen??
mymobiler doesn't connect to my phone too.

App/cab for soft reset

I heard of it... does anyone has it?...
...ok found practical solution, sktools has that option...

You don't need sktools. Soft-reset is already available in settings. You just need to make a short cut in the home screen. That's it.
Cheers!

This one works for my omnia2

What about just a long press of the end call button? powers down my Omnia II which is a soft reset.

need a skin more finger friendly for PsShutXP ?

@Stormglider - I looked through every option in the Settings (both MS and Samsung), searched the forum and Google, and could not find the Menu command to soft-reset the Omnia.
I have an i8000L from Bell Canada with the stock rom. What do you use, and what is the exact click sequence you do to execute the soft reset? (I prefer to not install unneeded software if I can avoid it).
Thanks

thx for u share this application...this is my first post joint this forum..

[Q] some .exe that could be removed from most himalaya rom's ?

i have found some .exe in most himalaya rom's "\Windows" folder that seem too be not needed so they could be deleted from future kitchens and stuff.
anyway here they are with screenshots..
1.sms_alert_fix.exe-pretty obvious.
2.SimLock.exe-i think something to do with unlocking sims (eventhough i've never used it).
3.cgacutil.exe-it shows you what version of NetFrameWork you are running (not sure if it gets installed as defult when NetFrameWork is installed.
4.hwhelp.exe-seems to be left from the keyboard option of character recognizer.
5.wrlsmgr.exe-maybe a part of the himalaya wireless driver.
can these be removed or deleted safely?
any ideas?

SMS_Alert_Fix will revive your phone when you will get a sms.
Simlock is really weird.
cgacutil is funking needed.
hwhelp is not needed but I don't want to know what will happen when deleted
wrlsmgr is needed for people who have SDIO Wifi card which himalaya support.

thats it then SimLock.exe is getting deleted and i will see what happens!

Here is what I removed to get free sectors in My WM6.1. The only way to learn effectively is: trial and error. Next try to read and understand the registry. It's all in there.

msim is keyboard right?
wisplite is totally unneeded, you can delete it but don't forget to delete registry entries in shell

also i know these can be deleted bcuz they are to do with error reporting and feedback-
DwXfer.dll
dw.exe
ceipui.exe
and also this-
BackPack.dll
hey muckelmaus these are needed for keyboard-
msim.dll
msim.96.dll
this for the 4 dots you have to tap when you first start up a new rom-
welcome.exe
and this is one of your splash screens-
welcomehead.96.png
and this is used for the search device for file function-
shfind.exe
otherwise i cannot see any problem with deleteing the rest of them...

i have also found this on a other part of xdadev-
*
Hd.dll
*
Aosaxst0.dll
*
Mencfilt.dll
Here Hd.dll and Aosaxst0.dll are used for M$ debug. Like some times on pc the apps close itself, and windows asks you to send the details to M$ (example. error number : 893647). We ( users) don’t know what it means, only the developer in M$ know. But I never saw these files report anything to us. SO!!! We don’t need them! they are trash!!
Now Mencfilt.dll is for storage card encrypt. If you don’t use it, you can delete it as well. Have you had this experience where after flashing a new Rom every thing in storage card can’t show any more!!!! but its still use the space in the card. Yes it's because of this file only.
**NOTE: There are some device in which removing these files causes system issues so be careful. But only a few devices

As I used a german 'qwertz' keyboard and a smaller splash screen, these files are just overwritten in my rom. These are backups.
I skip the Touchscreen alignment at first bootup (it doesn't work anymore after changing initflashfiles.dat)
Did you ever try to use * as a joker with the search program? Totally useless, so it is overwritten by a better app, renamed to: shfind.exe.

It didn't bother, everything worked 'till I deleted some files in startmenue and rearanged the programs. But noone told me that he missed the feature. Approximately 300 users over all. Even if some of them only tested. For me it was OK, and I'm still running it from the very first day, without any need of a new hard reset 'till now.

muckelmaus, why do you have a smaller startup screen?

I reduced the size of the files to get some kB/sectors free, as my rom is full of third party apps.

As I remember you can put JPG file as welcomehead
there is 2 solutions:
Save as jpg file and then just rename into .png
Save as jpg and change registry entry in redist dpi 96
by the way:
look at this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen]
"MSBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"
"MSTimeout"=dword:7530 ; 30000 milliseconds
"CarrierBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"
"CarrierTimeout"=dword:7530 ; 30000 milliseconds

maybe we could have 2 splash screens and change their duration on screen
So, when combined with bootloader 2 splashes (as I post tutorial to change it easly) we can have 4 splashes.
Good for doing PC boot images as I did before hima died my work in attachment
(I know that hima does not have AMD Althon but it seems good)
