Re: Unlocked, Visible and editable; but soft reset restores

So, you ran this and it said "SUCCESS" at the end???

And you still see deleted stuff back there after reset?

thanx

Re: Unlocked, Visible and editable; but soft reset restores

Yes Buzz.

First time I tried the unlocker it worked fine. Manually altered the Reg and deleted the files. No problem.

Had a hardware glitch which required a hard reset.

Now having run the unlocker (albeit using the cab version which does the registry alterations for me) and soft reset using psshutxp the Extended_ROM folder is visible and allows me to delete files and frees up 9.94MB. However when I add software which requires a 'soft reset' the original ROM files reappear.

I tried the entire process two times including hard reset etc but the 'pesky' files reappear each time. I think I must be missing out a step or I thought i'd made a mistake so went through this Post from end to end, but can't see that I've done anything wrong.

Memory Question

Buzz,

Since you are rapidly becoming the guru of the Universal, maybe you can answer this for me. When I upgrade my old XDAIIS to WM5, I end up with almost 3 times as much memory as the Universal has (even if you count what you can recover from the extended rom. Do you have any idea where all the memory is going on the Universal? Both machines have the same RAM/ROM. Any ideas on how to recover move memory?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] buzz_lightyear:
Re: Unlocked, Visible and editable; but soft reset restores

that cab is not for unlocking actually.

It is for making ExtROM visible ONLY.

how exactly does the a the unlocker work?

ｉplaced it in my storage card and run, but nothing happens...

where is the folder of the extended rom?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] smb5823:
Re: Unlocked, Visible and editable; but soft reset restores

Thanks for that Buzz. I did fully follow the instructions of the Asukal post on BuzzDev.net (Page 2 item 4) containing the cab file and instructions.

This is what I did:

1. Run the Cab file to make the registry changes and install the unlock file in Start/Programs.

2. Run the unlocker that the CAB file placed in my Program folder.

Reported 'success. reboot etc'. Soft reset with pxsshutXP.

3. Deleted files from Extended_ROM folder.

4. Soft reset again and lo and behold the files are restored to Extended_ROM folder.

I have just gone through the hole process again, with the same outcome.

Any other ideas/observations?

i downloaded the rar file from site (UNI_ext_rom_unlock)....

then uncompressed it on my pc...

then i have a file call UNI_ext_rom_unlock (should be an .exe)...

just can't see any cab file...

then i copy the file to universal and run... ( both in storage and in programs folder)...

it only can be run once...

notthing happen after reset...

have i miss something?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Morituri:
Hello all,

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone with a big brain can answer.

Once you have unlocked the Extended_Rom and removed the files from it, can you run the autorun.exe from an SD card if you have to hard reset?

and I am somewhat confused, if you remove all the files and free up the space, is that space useable? Is it a seperate partition?

The reason I ask is that I have only 7 MB of storage memory left, I installed all of my apps to main memory as I have found it more stable that way and to get an extra 10 MB back would be useful

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] buzz_lightyear:
Re: Unlocked, Visible and editable; but soft reset restores

I can remember, that those files in extrom, were marked readonly (in some ROM).

When I tried to delete them, the operation ended with some error and I had to uncheck readonly flag with total commander.

could it be your case as well?

buzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zorba:
Buzz,

It's a standard IIs with 128 MB SDRAM, 96 MB ROM. I guess that is the difference that extra 32 mbyte of ROM. When I upgraded it as per the instructions to WM5, I ended up with about 30 mbyte of storage and a little over 100 mbyte of program memory. This has allowed me to install quite a few programs (like CityTime) that won't run properly on my Dopod 900. There still appears to be quite a discrepancy with the Dopod 900 specs and the available memory. When I do a hard reset, I end up with about 30 mbyte of storage and about 30 mbyte of program free to install my own programs. I have many things installed on the extrom now (thanks again) but I still seem to have memory issues. This weekend I will hard reset again and see if there is anything else that I can do to improve my memory management.

Regards,

Zorba
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] buzz_lightyear:
Hi Zorba,

it looks, like you are bit confused by all that memory stuff.. :o))

BA Exec Hima
---------------------------------
SDRAM | 128 | 64 | 128
---------------------------------
ROM | 64 | 128 | 32+32

Under WM5:

SDRAM is used for Program Memory

ROM (flash) is used for OS + Storage Memory + ExtendedROM

buzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zorba:
Buzz,

Thanks for taking the time to educate me. I got the Xda IIs (BA) data from the tech sheet so I would assume it is really 96 ROM. In any case if it is as you say why is there so much difference between the available memory with nothing installed on BA vs Universal? Any idea where the memory is being used?

Zorba
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chris_khho:
Hi Buzz,

So, the memory allocation in the settings is as follows:

Storage = 43.72MB + ExtendedRom = 9.94MB + OS = (128 - 43.72 - 9.94 = 84MB!!!!! SO BIG!!!!)

Program = 50.16MB + (64 - 50.16 = 14)MB for what?

Anyway, the eating RAM issue for the program memory cause a big problem to the stability of the Universal..................

I also deleted the file names from the config....I copied back the two file and added then back to the config, however when I do a hard reset the device installs everthing except the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76 and freezes up...when i do a soft reset it is fine. BUt it is no longer giveing me the option to install corporate mode etc...QUESTION does the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build76 file have to be the last file on the config list or VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB? can someone pls uploaded there config file...I may have messed up mine?

You could be using the WRONG AutoRun.exe. You need one from the O2 Exec if you want to run a config.txt directive on an i-mate Jasjar ROM.

See http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/582600994/m/7891086801 for a discussion on this problem.

storage card and mail attachments

I ran the unlock program from Buzz.

Un-ticked the save mail attachements to storage card and then renamed storage card2 to storage card.

However the system thinks that the Extended ROM is some sort of storage card and tries to save mail attachments to it.

How can I change the properties of the Extended ROM so it appears as part of the machine and will then allow message attachments to be saved to the real storage card.

cab files in extended ROM

some of the software i would like on the phone I dont have CAB files for, I only have EXE files (total commander) or the SETUP software I downloaded.

I know what CAB files I want to delete from the extended ROM, but if the device is all set up how I want it, will a soft reset do? OR do I have to do hard reset and 'build' it up again?

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
Re: cab files in extended ROM

i have worked this one out, this is the method i use to get the Cab files from the .Exe

1. connect phone to pc and establish connection

2. douvle click .exe file to start a normal install.

3. when the pc says 'look at the device and follow next steps', look at the device and it should be on the stage where it is asking you where you want to install the program.

4. at this point go to active sync on the pc and click on explore device

5. double click the windows mobile device and it will go to the root directory of the phone

6. double click on 'windows' folder

7. double click on 'app Mgr' folder

8. it will show the folders of already installed progs and also another folder called 'INSTALL'

9. double click this folder an dyou wil see the .CAB file for the prog you are trying to install.

10. highlight and 'ctrl+c' then choose location on pc and 'ctrl+v', this will copy the cab file to your oc

11. go back to the phone and either continue with the install or cancel!

you now have a cab file ready for future use, and you can also put this as part of your personalised extended rom if you want.

when the device is setup as you want then a soft reset just 'resets' the -device but on a hard reset whatever is in the Extended Rom is installed so eg total commander is not included in an extended rom so you will have to manually set-up again just like all your other progs.

hope it helps

Use GSFinder to see your ext_rom.

I used the unlocker on a jasjar rom, but it didn't work. The program confirms SUCCES but after reboot there is no ext rom in the root of de mobile device.

Also GSfinder doesn't work either.

Im with buzz on this one, ok its handy to auto setup some of your device after a hard reset, but how often do you really think your going to be doing that, its not the sort of thing that happens daily or even weekly.

An installer app on the pc would be just as good, ie, make an all in one installer to do your personalisations and custom apps, or even a super cab based on SD if you like.

After all your probably gonna need a pc connection aswell to finish off the setting up.
