Open the Security Configuration Manager, connect your PDA, let it sync; first turn off security (Check your PDA for prompts) then in the Device menu, click the option to add developer certificates. after this completes, soft reset and you're done.

Missing Ext_Rom after patch

Original WM5 from Vodafone Spain here...

Anyway, thanks for your efforts
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
since it seems to only work for WM6; can someone attach OEM_FLASHDRV.dll to the thread and I'll patch that one, it should definitely work then.

An unhandled exception.

Hi,

I get an unhandled exception in Windows XP.

Continue of Quit option.. Continue does nothing.. quit, quits the program.

Run windowsupdate and installed all the updates and framework files..

Any idea?

Also searched this forum but no luck..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
you run it on your PDA... not windows.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] swieep:
LOL.. thanks.

how could I be THAT stupid.. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
no problem... but could you clear that post, it's rediculously long :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
Does it reside somewhere other than \Windows normally? I know the patched version ends up there, but I've recently done a hard reset and don't see the original...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
it's a hidden system file... you probably don't have view all files on.

also, you can only get it from a ROM dump.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
View All Files enabled; still can't see it on device or via ActiveSync.

Which is over my head, at this stage. Hey, at least I'm willing to admit my limitations. ;)

This really has no relation to Hard-SPL, correct? Has to be a newer ROM thing...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jfrm:
This is the one after patching on WM5.

Hope it could help
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
Ermm... I believe Oli is looking for an original (i.e., pre-patch) version of the file (so he can patch it), which apparently I'm not smart enough to locate. :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah, that's the file I patched, which is useless, I need an original from WM5
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jfrm:
Could sombody please upload a not patched OEM_FLASHDRV.dll from a WM5 system dir?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mythozz:
I have the same problem with my TyTN with Greek ROM.

I used the file in the first post, but I cannot see now the Ext_ROM. The HTWeak isn't working in this subject... I run the MS Security Config Manager but it says it needs NET 2.0 Framework. I installed it, restarted my PC but it still asks for it...

Any ideas?

I have 2.11.255.1 WWE ROM (AKU 3.3), with 1.38 Radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
Here is the OEM_FlashDrv.dll from the 2.06 Cingular rom. Hope it helps.

Extracted using rom koch
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
ok, this is just the patched OEM_FLASHDRV.dll

so long as you have the developer certificates on the device; it'll let you drop it straight in from activesync
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jfrm:
No solution

Just flashed the new dll and still the same problem.

Not Ext_Rom at all.

Thanks anyway
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
you still have to use the MountExtROM tool and deploy developer certificates from Security Config manager.

seriously... if you ****wits can't work it out, I don't frankly care any more... I'm slowly losing the will to live as a result of twats who can't be bothered to follow instructions; I go to the effort of making something, and all I get is grief.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pbk105:
Thank You

Ran your patch on my LVSW Mobile 6 ROM. Worked perfectly. Thanks for getting my 10 megs of space back for me. HTC should be giving you a commission for making their phone actually useful.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
music to my ears, thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mythozz:
Thanx for the sorry ass language. It's good to know that a... so called developer speaks like a troll. There are at least 15 people here telling you that it doesn't work, and 5 telling you it works. Can't you understand that something is going wrong? I've been using PPC's in their full extend before you could learn what a SIM card is, but still I don't have developing capabilities. I have done exactly what you said but it still doesn't work you ****wit. If you want to create something helpful learn to offer support for it, or don't ever create another one...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] esseff:
oooooh... watch who you are upsetting. Olipro is one of 'THE' gurus. If he decides to stop posting stuff, this froum will be a big looser.

If you can't get his stuff to work then just move on to the next hack and leave him be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
Troll? me?!?

no, it's just exceptionally infuriating when you KNOW that the reason people can't get something to work is because they're not following the instructions properly; if their ExtROM disappears, I just know it's because they don't have the certificates installed... if the ExtROM doesn't appear, it's because they didn't Mount the ExtROM in the first place.

I don't have SuperCID, I really created this patch for myself, not for you, but I figured it's something people would appreciate and use... but of course, WM5/6 requiring certificates for system dll's makes everything harder in terms of other people getting it wrong.

"If you want to create something helpful learn to offer support for it, or don't ever create another one" - Like I said, I made this for myself, not for you, so yeah, if you can't get it working, and despite my best efforts to explain exactly what needs to be done AGAIN AND AGAIN, if you still can't get it to work, then go **** yourself; I don't need this bull****, maybe I should just keep stuff to myself in future, because I don't owe anybody here jack ****, least of all technical support for anything or to even release the item itself.

Now, just to inform everyone... I am better than that... I am *not* going to stop releasing stuff, that's just lame and egotistic, and no matter what anyone says to me, I'll continue to contribute; I'm a big fan of free speech, so feel free to say whatever you like to me, but do bear in mind I'll feel equally free to say whatever I want back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mythozz:
I don't know if you're a GURU or... not, but as far as I'm concerned you speak like a troll, you have zero tolerance for other people who try to use the soft you released, you react like an asshole and you don't deserve the hype others give you..

I've been in this forum long enough to know who deserves the reputation around his name... and you're not one of them. I'll do what esseff said... Move on to the next hack...

P.S. Oh and spare me the ethics "I am better than that..."... You're not, when you speak in this language in a so called civilized forum of "gurus".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
man look at you.. i've been around a little longer and most developers, so called gurus, that release stuff dont even care to respond to morons that cant even follow instructions. and thats the problem here. ****wits like you.

hahahaha ooops
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
I'm only human, and I also tend to get rather wound up and intolerant when I end up repeating the same thing over and over, I also don't really care about any "hype" about who I am, or what I do.

I've been in this forum long enough to know who deserves the reputation around his name - Might I add I don't give a flying dog **** about what you know, or think, I'm quite happy to live my life not caring whether you respect me or not, so you can shove that one right up your arse, nor do I care how long you've been here, you're still a dickhead in my eyes.

Originally, I only intended to have 1 moan, but thanks for dragging the whole situation out into such a brilliantly long diatribe... wow, maybe you're the Troll.

PS. Thanks for the support dutty
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
Took me 5 minutes to setup and works perfectly

Thank a lot !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fiendz:
Yea this one works if you follow instructions and if its not working for you then tough luck, write your own patch or stfu instead of *****ing about someone elses selfless work. Glad I found this before I went superCID, thanks oli. =)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ach2:
Having unbricked my tytn and gained extra storage and etc, etc by using Olipro's tools and advice I think he DOES deserve the hype he's been given.

You claim to have been around for a long time but what have you contributed? I see mainly questions in your previous posts not answers or advice.

And who said the forum had to be civilised?

If you can't follow simple instructions why don't you buy a 3310 - should be simple enough even for a Wanker like you. And when you move on to your next thread please keep your ****ing mouth shut so you don't piss of the gurus who can help me and the thousands of others who's IQ's are high enough to let us read.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] JasenR:
Works great for those who know how to read and follow instructions. Thanks Olipro and keep up the great contributions. I have learned a ton from you guru's by reading the threads here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BigBen:
Thanks and a question

Oli, thanks for your Hard-SPL and other good stuff.

A bit off-topic, and hoping things have settled down after the recent dust-up in this thread, so I don't flamed too badly, I want to apply this nifty patch, but first, can anyone guess why my Ext ROM appears with the storage card symbol on the file folder icon?

I take the mini SD out, soft reset, and EXT still appears, so it's obvious it's not on the card but in the device. I just today for the first time ran HTweakC 2.0 to show EXTENDED_ROM. It's a Cingular config which I guess WPBear put in the ROM.

This is probably a glitch with no importance, but it's annoying and I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S HAPPENING! :(

Hmmm..... is a puzzlement. :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
Uhh no... Windows doesn't actually know what it is; since it's mounted as a foreign partition, as far as its concerned it's external storage... it's not a bug, nor is it a problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] princeasi:
what is the security config manager? i googled and found it for use with nt, xp and some other versions. Is there a ppc version or do i download the xp ver?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
it's linked to in this thread
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BigBen:
Understood. Thanks.

Ben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
Actually just lost it today. No idea why. Everything was working well... and this mroning the extended ROM had disappeared... Trying to unhide it with HTweakC... No way... still hidden

I checked again with the Security manager... All Safeties are off

Redid the process I did to unlock the Extended ROM... Nothing

It's really weird, it had been working well for one day, even when soft resetting

If any body has a clue...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
no security has nothing to do with it... you still have to deploy the certificates regardless.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
also, while I'm thinking of it; it's interesting to see Mythozz has opted not to reply to my latest comment.

oh, but if you do, take it to a Private message, I don't want this thread to be cluttered with any more crap thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
hey loser... honestly take your little PDA and the instruction book and shove it up your A$$!! if you cant read the instructions followed then dont even bother... people like Olipro and dutty dedicate time and money to making / improving hacks so retards like you get more out of your device... i also re-read the heading of this thread... it doesnt say YOU MUST INSTALL THIS ON YOUR DEVICE!!! you installed it by choice... take a hike champ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
I did deploy the certifiates and it worked for a bit more than a day...

It probably has nothng to do with the fact I mounted it, but I just can see it anymore, even when trying to unhide it with HTweakC

I'll do a few tets again... And will come back on this
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darrellr:
I'm using a standard UK T-Mobile build.

I used the Security config manager - set Selected configuration to "Security off" and hit "Device" and "Add Development Certificates". (soft reset)

Next I copied over the patched WM5 DLL after deleting the original. (soft Reset)

Finally I set HTweakC Security to Mount the Ext_rom (Soft Reset)

No ext. ROM visible.

Non-starter on WM5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
might I suggest you get your ExtROM visible before trying my patch... thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darrellr:
Yepp ... it was visible (using HTweakC 2.1b) but not writable as I was not 'SuperCID'. Sorry should have said in my post. I copied out my Ext. ROM Cabs for safekeeping.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
then you haven't deployed the dev certs is all I can say.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
That's the point Olipro. We did. It was visible. Certificates were deployed. It worked well

And then after 36 hours or something the ExternalROM just simply disappeared. At the same time as my SD Card, which is an identified bug. The SD Card came back. Not the Extended ROM

And now whatever we try to unhide the Extended ROM, it doesnt come back (We are not even talking about mounting it, but SEING it)

Obviously nothing to do with your scripts (Which are good), but some problem about the visibility of the extended ROM (I am pretty sure if we manage to unhide it again, it will be actually mounted...)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patxi_80:
Hello I have a problem, when I try to install Security configuration manager It said to me that I need NETCF but I try to install it and it said that NETCF is installed What can I do?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
I nopped 8 bytes, and patched a further 2... if it worked, then there's nothing I know of that could cause it to disappear.

all I know is that it works fine for me, beyond developer certificates, I don't have a clue.

it's definitely weird how people are getting different problems with it, and I can only suggest you remove it with Resco if it's broken it and start over again; making sure your ExtROM shows.

are you sure the settings are being successfully provisioned?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SkizZO:
I have read ALL the 9 pages... and i have a question because i want to modify the registry values myself.

Are you talkin' about Registry hacks for NEW ROMs?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
WRONG

when you mount the ExtROM, there is a driver DLL HTC have made that is invoked in order to allow the OS to read and write the data.

when it's invoked, it checks to see if you are SuperCID before allowing you write access; I've disabled the checking so that it always gives you write access.

I have done nothing in the way of providing registry files etc to unhide the ROM, you can get those yourself, or someone motivated can package my stuff up and give instructions.

because WM5/6 requires signing, I have signed it with the test certificate from the Security Configuration Manager, which works fine for me because I have those certificates deployed on my device (and you can of course do the same if you download SCM)

that's about all I can say on the matter; pof has tested it and confirmed that it works fine for him, it also works fine for me, clearly those of you having issues have not done something right.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SkizZO:
certificate a part, i hope you know what registry is needed..

This currently show and unlock if you have superCID, now i want to know if i need only apply the setting to SHOW, and then apply the registry values, or are needed also the values to "unlock" the extended rom.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV]

these values are into the wiki link shown in my precedent post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
I can say that when I used it, I ONLY used pof's MountExtROM.cab file, I didn't actually use HTweakC, and I definitely don't recommend using that Make Writable option on HTweakC.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patxi_80:
Please any idea??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah, you don't have NETCF installed mate... it's a computer, it's not wrong, you are
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patxi_80:
Olipro thank you very much but I do not understand english very good and I do not understand very good your answer, can you explain more slowly please. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
you DO NOT have NETCF installed.

you MUST INSTALL NETCF.

you THINK you have NETCF installed but you do not
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
SDK Certificates CAB attached, use that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patxi_80:
Olipro you are a genious!!! I can not install the security configuration manager and netcf but five minutes ago I have read the last answer and................it works great, I can install what I want in my 9Mb of my extended

thank you very much

P.D. With XDA I am learning a lot of things of my tytn (Tytn is most complicated than my old universal) and I am learning a lot of english..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
you're welcome.

now can the other incompetent idiots use the cab file.

sorry... nothing personal guys, but I've been doing my nut
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darrellr:
This is what SCM says (see attachment) . Looks okay to me but I guess you'll spot the error.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah, here's the error; YOU HAVEN'T INSTALLED THE DEVELOPER CERTIFICATES

go to the Device menu at the top and click the Add Developer Certificates item... for ****s sake people
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darrellr:
HeHeHehE Calm down! I've been repeatedly hard resting and trying different combinations.

Looks like there's two things.

First is that if you're dead impatient (like me) and reset the device straight after the tool.cab is installed you don't get the certificates properly installed. You need to wait a minute or so and then all is well - basically wait for the windows XP app to show the certificates. Sorry Oli, I'm just impatient.

Second thing is my ROM version of OEM_FLASH_DRV seems to be much larger than the one I got from the thread. Could this be my issue?

Presumably the file can be extracted from the 06_os.nb but I've not read about that.

If I can extract it will you patch it Oli?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
attached along the thread is an OEM_Flashdrv from WM5, use that if you like, or the patcher, it really doesn't matter
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pe280364:
Thanks Olipro!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] visut_assa:
Hi Anybody got problem with SCM crash during it try to query to device? I can not add developer certificates because SCM carsh everytime.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah, weird that; just drag the crash message window out the way and carry on using it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] visut_assa:
I found problem. Seem it cause by Thai lang software. Thank you very much for your help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] X_Farhad:
Great job Oli. worked perfectly on my 8525 (wm6 LVSW)

but i couldn't get it to work on wm5. i followed your instructions extactly, mounted extrom with pof's tool (which exposed the extrom), turned security off with SCM, installed the developer certificates, and first ran the patcher on the device and ran the mountExtROM again, but the extrom didn't appear. then i copied the pathed dll file into the windows directory, and ran mountExtom Again. and soft reseted like a million times. it just didn't show up again

If Old ExtROM Unlocked, will New ROM Flash Re-Lock

Oli:

If I have unlocked my ExtROM from WM5 1.34.502.1 ROM, and I flash a new ROM such as Black 2.0, which does not touch the ExtROM, will I have to re-mount and unlock the ExtROM again using the instructions from this thread?

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
is your ExtROM showing? can you write it... answering these questions yourself in succession will make the potential necessities evident.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Surobrain:
If Old ExtROM Unlocked, will New ROM Flash Re-Lock

Yes it's showing and I can write to it. So once the ExtROM is open/ writable, it's always open/writable as long as new ROM flash leaves the ExtROM untouched?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
flash a new ROM and find out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Surobrain:
OK, I'll give it a try...I've jumped in on everything except for the OS ROM, I just can't decide which one to flash Black 2.0, LVSW, Dutty's, WXML???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Surobrain:
Flash New Cingy ROM

OK, I flashed the Cingy 2.15 ROM, which does touch the ExtROM, and no surpise it did over-write my existing unlocked ExtROM settings. No worries, the wiki post for new ROM ExtROM hacks worked perfectly. I'll probably do the Black 2.0 Cingy ROM in the next few days if Black 2.5 isn't out yet...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] achilles21:
Olipro,

Man, you did it again.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] spastico:
Just Thanks.

A friend gave me a NailGun. Would it be okay for me to expect him to now teach me how to use it?

The point is; if I can't figure it out with just a little help, then I prolly shouldn't be using it anyway.

Thanks Again Oli.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] N1kko:
It worked like a charm on the very first attempt...

I really envy your skillz, Olipro... :cool:

... and your patience, too! :p

It's 2.10AM here at the moment and I must admit I started laughing loud and alone reading some replies on this post... :D :D

THANKS FOR BOTH (laughs&tools)!!!
