Ive just updated to the latest tmobile Rom, and although the unlocker still works, when I hard reset it seems like the original content of the Extended ROM is reloaded as none of my CABS run and all of the original ones, even the ones I deleted, are installed.

Can anyone help?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabia:
yes this seems to be my problem also, please help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CCP!:
Same problem here, but..........

Type '\Extended_Rom' instead of '\\Extended_Rom' does the job in Total Commander.

Well, a little
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:
OK, spent ages and ages on this subject...read all posts here and on Buzz site too, experienced the annoying 'i have done everything but still cant see it' problem and found the solutions from referencing the two sites above

As the problem with the 'i have done it why doesnt it work' seems to be down to different registry setups, I have created two CABs, one for each setup :) ;

Both these will install the UNI_Ext_ROM_UnLock.exe to \Program Files, create a shortcut to it in your programs folder and will set the registry for you

1 for registry entries that require TrueFFS1

1 for registry entries that require TrueFFS_G31

How to tell which you need? Use a registry editor to view

HKLM\Drivers\Builtin and look to see if you have entries for TrueFFS1 or TrueFFS_G31 and use the below file that relates to which key you have :D

EDIT: Nearly forgot :oops: thanks to cktlcmd for the CAB and buzzdev for the actual unlock program :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabia:
now just for me to understand is this to solve the problem of "when i add a file in my ext rom it seems like it keeps reading orginal seeting" or another problem, plus do i have to try both to check which one works for me?

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:
Surely I didnt explain it that bad???

As mentioned in the post;

Read the first sentence, kinda does it for me :)

How to tell which you need? explains how to tell.....erm...which you need :roll:

mail attachments are not storable because of ext rom unlock

i´m not able to store my mai attachments in the storage card because the system always will use the ext rom .

does anybody have a fix for that problem?? :( :( :( :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] corleno:
exuse my stupidity

but everythin

its jus the storage space increasing

not the program memory ???

sorry if i sound lame but needed to clarify

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
It is unlocked, but remains hidden. You can use Total Commander to add and delete files by manually filling in \Extended_Rom\ at the command line

My Extended Rom is empty now :0) ..... cooking a new one now including IIWPO :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
How do you define the cabs that run ?

You don't have a text file with a configuration...

Only 2 exe files "autorun and setup"...

I also want to make a costum extended rom with my apps a carrier settings...

thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Re: Thank you very much....

holy crap buzz! you're just awesome ;)

10megs woahhh!! i'd love that breathing space :p

is the flash partitioned just like the hima's doc? can the same doc format tool be used (of course by making small changes....)? I guess it should be fairly simple to do that!

You could just tweak the partition sizes as you did for the hima....making the ext_rom really small.....

another question....how is the ext_rom partition being used? Is the splash image going on the ext_rom partition?

great work man! you're just brilliant!! :)

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Use GSFinder to see your ext_rom.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
great work BUZZ!!!!

trust me when i say this WE WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE THE 10mb EXTRA SPACE IF YOU CAN COMEUP WITH A WAY TO MERGE THE EXTROM
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ricmoo2004:
thanks for the help, i used total comander and moved everything to the SD card, but i don't seem to see an increase is storage space, how do i get that back, i will try a soft reset see if that is the problem

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
I'm pretty sure that you need to re-partition the flash before you can "see" any space saved by deleting everything in the extended ROM. At the moment it is not known how to re-partition, hopefully buzz is working on a solution now :)

Great work buzz, now all us MDA PRO/M5000 owners need is an unlock tool :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ricmoo2004:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mahmood:
AGAIN BUZZ did it !!

U are great i downloaded ad ithen unlocked he extended ROM to see and delete items in extended ROM i then used TOTAL COMMANDER software. This did the magic iremoved things i didinot want to install and i then hard reset my device and there it did the magic . THANKS BUZZ !!!

Total commander software:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] buzz_lightyear:
;o)))

all thanxs go to Mr. mwang, who donated the dopod 900 to me. not just that, he also paid the 20% VAT, which i had to pay to austrian customs office.

for resizing/eliminating extrom to get 10Mb more storage space... it is more or less ready. nothing to solve there, but at the moment, there is no way to go back, coz i dont have the exact rom dump from universal.

once i'll be able to get DOC dump, i can see exactly, how it is partitioned and will be able to create 'revert tool' same as i did for himalaya.

if i'd release it now, you might get those 10Mb, but you may also run into troubles because of overwriting some important info stored in DOCs binary partitions...

buzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Deke Martin:
Thanks Buzz! So just to clarify, after moving all my EXTRom files to a safe place on my PC I now have an extra 8-10Mb (approx) of space, but it's only accessible via Total Commander, is that right?

If I rewrote the text file that's in there, and put in a few carefully chosen CAB files, could I then create my own custom EXTRom, so that a hard re-set would install my choice of software?

Pardon my newness, by I'm...well...new to this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fingery:
Great work Buzz. Many thanks for your time and effort to develop this tool 8)

Hi Folks, I've used unlock and QuaCKeReD's mounter cab to clear out extended ROM completely (apps copied to PC for manual install) and am now using the ER as a storage card.

I am installing apps that one would nromally install in memory (eg today plugins) in the belief that ER is faster than SD (hopefully as fast as main memory) and that it's safe to install apps here that one would not mormally install on an SD.

Does this sound accceptable? Has anyone found that the ER does not 'wake up' after midnight quickly enough as one experiences with SD's?

Only reply if you KNOW the answer please - no naysayers just for the sake of naysaying :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davemee:
I'm suspecting you're right, but perhaps I'm a thickie... I have a problem indicating I'm not as far ahead as you :)

I've ran the unlocker several times (usually after a hard reset) and it does indeed unlock the rom. However, I never see it listed as somewhere I can install software - I only get "storage card" and "whatever the main memory is called i can't remember right now". How do I enable it so I can actually use the extended rom for installing things? I'd love to take advantage of it for big heavy but - in my opinion - nescessary apps, like ms voice command.

Did you get it just by unlocking? Is this on a Universal? (I'm running a 'mda pro')
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
See QuaCKeReD's post about 16 posts back in this thread - cover the cab that 'mounts' the drive to make it into a normal drive.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davemee:
Thanks Craigiecraighiecraigiecraigie4,

I couldn't find the post, so for those as lazy as me, someone sent me a solution: repeated here (you'll need to muck with your registry, so sharpen that total commander) - note that if you're running rom 1.30.111, you'll *need* to do the following -

------------------------

Those that had upgraded to ROM 1.30.111 and unable to see "Extended_ROM2" please check your registry keys against those below by using Resco Explorer.

For ROM 1.30.111 - Check the following settings in registry

===========================================================

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerAutoLoadTRUEFFS_DOC1]

"Bootphase"=dword:00000002

"Order"=dword:00000001

"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001

"DriverPath"=" Drivers/BuiltIn/TrueFFS1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerProfilesTRUEFFS_DOC1]

"MountHidden"=dword:00000000

"Folder"="Extended_ROM"

"PartitionDriver"=""

"Name"=""

"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"

-------------------------------

credit needs to go *mostly* to buzz, and to an anonymous donor.

cheers!

By the way when i first did this i was using the reset button to do a soft reset but have since used psShutXP to repeat the process and use this to soft reset.

Can anyone help me please.???

hi buzz,

I installed the application on my JASJAR then I did reboot but I couldn't see any different or even prompted to do anyhing? do I missing something. I download that file see the attached file, but I am not sure if this the correct file.

then I used command CE to browse for Extended ROM but I couldn't fin anything.

Can someone help please?:eek:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Z£Y$:
Re:

Check the 4th page of this threat and all will become clearer.

Anyway you have to modify the registry in order to unhide the Ext_Rom.

Browse through the registry and change the values to the ones below as instructed by buzz.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]

"Bootphase"=dword:00000002

"Order"=dword:00000001

"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001

Hi

i have tried change the registry but i can't see the extrom... i use wm6 and resco explorer

There are others way?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Verbato:
Okay... So, I made my own rom-image, ms_.nbf, running HTC64 to decode/recode the fat-image.

Works fine. I can see all the files on it. They run fine.

However... The auto-run utility I once found somewhere, that utilizes config.txt...

My config.txt:

---

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\SecurityOff.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\SdkCerts.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Systray Icons.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\iefix.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CUSTEL_Voip.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\unibt.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\WkTask.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\newmenu.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\smsfix.cab

LOCK: Disabled

HIDE:Enabled

RST: Reset

---

This gets me through all the files that was originally there, up until the unibt.cab. Then it claims that the file isn't found :confused:

However, when restarting the UNI, and running the file by hand, it not only is there, it installs nicely.

So what's wrong? I've tried capitalizing it, tried small letters. Anything else I migt try? Any advices?

Any kick in the right direction would be much appriciated. Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Verbato:
Hmh. I found that it might have something to do with WinImage messing up the image in some way.

Apearantly this ext-rom-image is formated in some unknown "TFAT16"-format.

Never heard of this before?

Anyways... Seems like using more than the first 4MBs of the extrom-image is impossible. At least with WinImage.
