Error while using unlocker tool

Hello,
I seem to be having a weird error when I try to unlock the ext rom or unhide it. I can see the folder in my programs folder, but when I click on unhide, nothing happens and when I click on unlock I get a debug error which says "FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect" . I dont know why it keeps doing it. I have tried to upgrade to the latest rom version but after getting in the bootloader mode, in the utility screen it does not show me the new version of the rom, the only thing it shows me is that my device will be upgraded to 5.3.2, which is what i currently have.
Any idea why its doing what its doing?????
Thanks,
Sam

If I remember correctly, Extended ROM unlocker is not working under WM5.

Not able to upgrade to 5.1.1700
As you say aybe the unlocker does not work with WM5, so I downgraded to the original factory version of 1.42. At this point the unlocker worked fine. So I tried to upgrade it to the latest version of 5.1.1700, but as soon as the utility screen comes up, it shows me that my rom will be upgraded to 5.03.02 which is what i have had all this while. So I upgraded it back to the same version and just upgraded to the latest radio version. When I try to use the unlocker again in this 5.03.02 version I still get that same error.
Can anyone please help me to upgrade to the latest rom version 5.1.1700 and tell me what this error means.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

I think we have a slight misunderstanding here. 5.03.02 and 5.1.1700, here are exactly the same. 5.03.02 is the ROM version, while 5.1.1700 is the OS version of the ROM. So 5.03.02 IS 5.1.1700 actually.

So, one prob solved, how about this one....
First of all, thank you KTamas for helping me out on this one and clearing out this problem of Rom versions.
I have another question though, what is this wizard rom? and how different is it from the one that I just installed? I was trying to install the wizard rom before I installed the one that I have right now, but got stuck in the middle when I had to create the EXTROM folder and transfer the contents after editing the edit.bat file. I was not able to transfer the getdeviceid.txt file from my phone to my pc for some odd reason and so was not able to do much on that.
Can you please help me?
Thanks,
Sameer

Questions about my G1.

Ok, I recently got a Black G1 from a friend and he said it was rooted and everything, but the multi touch and the auto-rotate dont work, and neither does the autorotate sideways keyboard. He told me it had all of that stuff, but I am trying to figure out if I have not done something right or what. Heres the info:
Model- T-Mobile G1
Firmware Version - 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.505.20.17h_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version - [email protected] #2
Build Number - CRB43
I want to just format and reload if possible, because it seems to be running very slow to some of the ones that I have seen. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

You have a custom JF rom and the newest radio. So yes, you're rooted. However, root doesnt guarantee autorotate and multitouch. Those are things that are *possible* but are rom dependent. Check out the dev section, find a rom that suits your needs and flash it.

G1 JF 1.51 Market problem

Hi,
I've rooted my phone this morning, and pout the JF1.51 rom on. I opened the Market app to start downloading some apps but it opens for a few seconds the closes.
Anyone know what the problem could be??
Firmware 1.5
kernal 2.6.27-00392_g8312baf
build crb43

G1 Won't Pass Boot Up Screen

My G1 will not go past the boot screen, I tried to change the theme by adding a update.zip file to the sd card and now the phone will not boot up. It gets stuck at the G1 screen. The phone was rooted; however, for some reason that no longer comes up when I hold the HOME and END buttons. I tried uploading RC29 - RC33 to try and fix the problem and got this message:
assert getprop("ro.build.fingerprint")== "tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.0/TC4-RC29/115247:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys" || getprop(ro.build.fingerprint") == "tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.0/TC4-RC28/114235:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keysInstallation aborted.
I've been searching google all day and haven't found the solution yet! Please help.

"The phone was rooted; however, for some reason that no longer comes up when I hold the HOME and END buttons."
By 'that' do you mean the recovery console? Did you flash cyan's 1.4 recovery? Can you enter bootloader/fastboot? What rom did you have? What theme did you flash?

Yes, the recovery console doesn't show up the way it would if the phone were rooted, it comes up the unrooted way. I did flash cyan's 1.4 recovery though, so I'm confused to why this is happening. I don't know what bootloader/fastboot is, but if that's whats supposed to come up after holding the camera and end button then I don't think I have it. A colorful striped screen shows up. I had Cupcake 1.5 installed and I was trying to add a theme from theunlockr. com called Hero Theme by Tehseano & Moonsspoon. I hope that helped..

Possibly the theme you tried to install didn't go with the rom you have. But some background information will help to fix your problem.

What background information do you need?

Just like the second poster said. What rom were you on? What theme did you try to flash, and what was it compatible with? I know you said you tried to reflash RC29, did that ever work?

Sorry, I'm new to this Android stuff. I don't know what ROM I was on, all I know is that I had Cupcake 1.5 installed. There had been no previous themes applied beforehand.
I tried to install this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520629
The flashing was unsuccessful.
The only other information I have is:
1.) Model Number - T-Mobile G1
2.) Firmware Version - 1.5
3.) Baseband Version - 62.50s.20.17H_2.22.19.261
4.) Kernel Version - 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected] #1
5.) Build Number - CRC 1

Any ideas???

So you had JF rom with a theme then tried to install what theme? You may have to reflash a stock DREAIMG.nbh and start from scratch.
But you really need to provide more information.

How would I reflash it? What other information would be helpful, I'm sorry I'm trying to give all of the info that I can, but I don't know what else you need to know. Please email me at [email protected] if possible. Thank you.

Prolly your best bet is to start from scratch. Reflash RC29 and continue from there. But this time make sure you know whats on your phone and what your flashing.

I got HTC Tattoo. Same thing!!! Dunno what to do.
