hi,

hardreset doesn't lock the ROM. << Uh, i'm not 100% sure.

ExtROM gets locked after reflashing ExtendedROM (ms.nbf).

you have to think about these three facts:

1. ER could be locked or unlocked

2. ER could be hidden or visible

3. files in ER could be readonly or readwrite

if you have any problems unlocking your extendedROM, consider all combinations of 123 above.

uni_extrom_unlock.exe deals with point 1 only.

I've found America :)

Hi, guys,

I've found that after flashing the new i-mate ROM 2.16.9.1 I can't copy files to Extended ROM (I've used unlocker, of course). But setting the "Save to:" parameter in Camera application (can be found in Options->General) to Extended_ROM2 has enabled me to copy files to Extended ROM. I hope it can help someone of you :)

EDIT: Ooooops, I have Wizard, but maybe it can work on Universal as well :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ppitkin:
Does anyone know how to make the extended ROM visible in such a way that the system doesn't create a second "Storage Card" entry. This behaviour occurs when I set the

HKLM\System\StoreageManager\autoload\TRUEFFS_DOC1 bootphase attribute to 2

and because I have installed all my utilities on the SD Card they don't work any more as the SD card gets renamed to "Storage Card1"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
Go to HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1

and change the value in Folder to ExtROM

This should fix the problem for you. Note you'll need to turn off your Universal wait 5 minutes and then reset.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pewe:
Sorry if I appear a bit thick, but all my registry settings are as detailed in previous postings, but I cannot see the EXT ROM files anywhere.

Where should they be seen?

I have looked in Total Commander, and there is no reference to them anywhere. (My Storage Card Entry is actually the Storage Card).

I really need to find these files so I can copy them out before doing a ROM upgrade.

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
Start File Explorer.

Look at the top left, directly under "File Explorer", you want to see "My Device" here. If not tap the black arrow and tap the line in the menu that says My Device. This is the root of your file system on the Pocket PC if the folder is setup correctly you should see it here, with a small icon on the folder.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] captainsensible2002:
Any why do you need to copy the files out - I presume they are just the standard Orange extended rom files, if this is the first time you have unlocked your extended rom? If so, they are on the xda-developers ftp site... I would be more concerned with unlocking the extended rom after you upgrade!

What exactly is an extended rom ?

Hi, i'm new here and have just upgraded my 9100 succesfully. In many thread is read about an extended rom. Can anybody tell me roughly whats this is and which one i should install ?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
Re: What exactly is an extended rom ?

You can think of the Extended ROM as a secret Storage Card that the maker of your device has access to and you do not. Here the maker can store programs that they wish to run after you hard reset your device.

Some people have no desire to have programs like Skype installed on their Universal, or they desire the newest version, so they delete the Skype version installed here. Some say the total storage here is only about 10 MB and they've got a 1 GB or more storage card, so they don't feel that they need to worry about this area.

I suggest you get the cab in this post, (It's fixed and others are not setup correctly from post #3 by eagle 1) install it on your device, find the link in the Program folder, run it and then soft reset your device. You'll have excess to this area then.

I have upgraded to the new Imate ROM.

I followed the details in this post and when I had finished I had a new folder Extended_ROM2.

I viewed it in File Explorer, Resco Explorer and in ActiveSync Explor. I could see all the .cab files.

I installed a new program (Batteyline) and soft reset.

The Extended_ROM2 folder was still visible but was now showing no contents.

I Checked the registry and all the settings were correct.

So I installed the registry cab from this post which changed the name to ExtendedRom, and I soft reset.

But there is still nothing showing in the directory.

Anyone any ideas.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pewe:
It gets weirder.

The directory listing of ExtendedRom is blank, but when I look at properties for directory it shows 0 files but 8.60MB used?

Anyone any ideas/suggestions?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MDAIII Avdo:
sef is says everthing and look`at`it thats:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1

Change bootphase from 1 to 2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1

Change mounthidden from 1 to 0

Change folder from Extended_ROM to ExtendedROM

Soft reset your device and you can freely edit your extrom.

When put your ExtROM, du evriting back and hard reset

latest i-mate rom bootphases

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pewe:
Can anyone explain this:

I ran the latest Imate ROM update, unloced the ROM and when I view it in Exporer this is what I see.

Why are the files all appearing as if in another language?

The last Wizard I unlocked the ROM on (using the same update) showed them in English.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] harryk1372:
I am trying to utilize the extended ROM space for storing other files. I could delete all files in ExtROM folder and the folder seemed to be completely empty then. I tested copying something else to that folder and I could do that too. However, all files that were deleted reappears in that folder once I soft reset my Uni and the file copied in there for test is gone. :(

Can someone help me solve this issue? Thanks in advance...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] harryk1372:
Hi Bartjan,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did remove readonly for all the files before deleting them as I thought that could be the cause. Unfortunately, that did not make any difference.

hi harryk1372,

which bootloader version do you have?

thanx

buzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] harryk1372:
Hi Buzz,

I never thought about the bootloader version I have until I saw your reply. In fact, I've never used the bootloader mode since I flashed the i-mate 1.30.76 WWE. I've tried to go into the bootloader mode just before writing this to find that now I cannot no matter how many times I try.

I bought my Dopod 900 in Singapore back in Dec 05 and I have not upgraded the bootloader to any new versions. I am not sure, as I cannot go into the bootloader mode now, but I believe it should be 0.6 or any older version.

Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] harryk1372:
Buzz,

I ran your unlocker again and the issue has gone away somehow. I do not know why it did not work in the first attempt but it works fine now. Sorry that I bothered you on this but I still have not resolved my bootloader problem.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silas0220:
I'm fairly certain the answer is no, but is it possible to flash the stock recovery and/or kernel via CWM? I'd like to use CWM and Franco's kernel to mess with things, but I'd like to be able to get back to stock on those two points without having to get back to my PC. Is that possible?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its possible to flash the kernel and recovery via cwm or twrp, you just need to zip them up right(or find them already zipped up properly by someone else). you can also flash the recovery and kernel via the flashify app if they are in .img form(recovery.img or boot.img).

[Moto X Q&A] lulajardim:
It is pretty obvious to me that rooting voids your warranty on Moto X (non-dev edition) as is the case with many many other android devices.

My problem is that all my experience has been with Samsung devices and if you use Odin and TriangleAway correctly Samsung won't even notice you messed with your phone (I had this experience with my mother's S3).

Right now I have my Moto X on 4.2.2 (camera patched) rooted using RockMyMoto which I have done after reading a little bit about some aspects of having a locked bootloader phone.

After reading that you could return to stock (including recovery) using RSD Lite I came to the conclusion that, in this case, Motorola wouldn't notice you messed with your phone. This is why I decided to RockMyMoto.

There is a chance I'm wrong about my conclusion, please correct me if that's the case.

After reading SlapMyMoto thread I came to the conclusion that after you use MotoWpNoMo you are stuck with write-protection disabled forever and there is no turning back! In this case Motorola can and will most likely find out if you messed with your phone.

I have a Brazilian Moto X which can have its bootloader unlocked but If you do this Motorola will have the device ID in its database. They'll DEFINITELY know if you messed with your phone.

My point is, should I unlock my bootloader or should I stick with SlapMyMoto? I need some opinions about this!
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
I prefer SlapMyMoto. I really don't see a reason to unlock the bootloader unless you can't live without CWMR or TWRP. There's very little development going on for both roms and kernels.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.helmy:
Hi all,

I am using n8000 from a year now and for me it is the first android device that last with me a complete year with a stock rom ...

I can see the stock rom very satisfying but i only had 2 problems :

1- it is not customizable ( as I need)

2- 4.1.2 jb !!! I cant move my apps to sd ( I had low memory issue now)

So I decided to try a custom rom and all what I need is to find a rom that satisfy my daily usage:

1-I am using my tablet as a phone so I need a rom with a working headset Mic

2-not using S note app alot (occasionally)

As long as as I search here In xda I can't find what I seek so if anyone could suggest a rom for me, I would be grateful.
