Unlocking Imate PDA2K extended rom

Dear All,
I am not sure if this topic has been covered but is there a program to unlock the extended rom of my Imate PDA2k device? The 19.5k program which I remember was posted a while back does not unlock my extended rom. Has anyone found a solution?
Best regards,
Gilbert

Hi again,
Does anyone have aanswer to unlocking the extended rom of blue angel?
Best regards,
Gilbert

The attached zip holds the two files you need. Thanks to some members here at XDA-dev.com
Copy both to your Imate. Tap on the .cab file to install it. Then using a file explorer such as Resco, run unlockextrom with the arguement -unlock -xda3 Once that is done, do a soft reset and you should be go to go.
Dave

Nice.. Thank you!
One question from a wary user.... Will unlocking the rom cause problems with a rom upgrade down the road? That is, if IMate releases a new rom upgrade, will it upgrade fine? I would assume that if it upgrades fine, then I would need to unlock it again after the rom update?
Thanks!

I only unlock my ROM when I want to make a change. Otherwise, I leave it locked.

This also happens on the XDA II. I found that with dismissing the errors, eventually it says unlocked OK. And after a reset, I can see and write to the Extended ROM.

I agree with dcs, it should eventually work.
Unlocking the Extended ROM doesn't seem to have an effect on ROM updates that I have seen or heard of.

No!!
This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII.

But with the new /Storage you don't need to unlock the ROM unless you plan to modify the cab files used in hard resets, correct?

No, but, it does give you more usable storage, especially if you move the .cabs out of the folder till the next hard reset.

Rom version
Hi all,
i just bought my 9090 here in Portugal and it has
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio Prot 1.02.00
Protocol 1337.32
Extended Rom 1.12.120 WWE
i just saw the extended rom upgrade, but where can i find the Rom upgrade ?
anyone?

Remove Wifi logo
By the way, i just unlocked my extrom and found a "strange" .cab
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_Wifi_Logo.sa.cab
any comments on what this really is?

Hi guys,
Thanks for the tools but I couldn't unlock my Imate PDA2k. To unhide ExtROM but couldn't edit it is useless.
Could anybody give me a hint? Thanks many times!

How much MB of hidden storage we are talking about?
Thanks

MDA PRO English Extended Rom for NL uploaded

I uploaded the extended rom for the MDA PRO English. Nice touch, it contains Dutch T9.
it's in the upload directory, called mda_pro_nl_extrom.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip
(adding it to this post gave an error message)

This file is only 1.5 MB?
I suppose it is not the full ROM image. What does it contain?
I am trying to revive a dead JasJar and wondering if this is the correct thing to load.

It is the Extended ROM, not the OS Rom, and will therefore only contains the English T-Mobile additions.

hi its only 1.28 mb..im guessing its not the full version.. can you poist teh full version tahnbks

@ Wiz,
would you know the actual application name of these cabs? I'm just wondering what are the included apps that are not in JasJar
** dont want to run each cab to see what's worth it or not
thanks!

How did you access to the extended rom? I tired to access to it in order to remove the Arabic support of my JasJar, but I cannot get it, the soft of my 9090 do not seems to work
Thanks !

I used www.ghisler.com Total Commander for PocketPC and typed in \Extended_Rom\ in the command line and pressed enter. I then copied everything to storage card

Could you please indicate which one installs the T-Mobile coloured dialer skin?
Another thing: there is no difference in available memory (both program and storage) after a hard reset with installing T-Mobile extended ROM or wihout installing extended ROM. This could be the case due to the fact that the installed software has approximately the same size as the CAB-files. As I have no access to the Extende ROM (nor Windows folder via ActiveSync) I am afraid that I am missing valuable memory after installing from the file of Wiz and that somewhere the CAB files still exist on my device. Does someone know where I can find (and delete) the Extended ROM and which CAB-files I should install and what the meaning is of each CAB-file?
Many thanks in advance

Ok it works thanks, but... it is on "read only" cannot erase some stuff

The Extended rom currently cannot be "unhidden" or "made writable". We need the experts from XDA Developers for this .... The only thing you can currently do is copy them to a storage card and install them manually.
Incidentally I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,
(I justed tested and confirmed that myself

Hi wiz
cant access the link for the extended rom you have. can you please check and tell me how can i get that file?
thanks keep up the gr8 work

Wiz!
Would it mean that If I take the corrsponding cab: Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB from the O2 XDAExec extended rom I would Get the Dialer scin form the O2 XDA EXEC ?
PLus can someone PLease upload the extended ROM from JASJAR.
Oh and something else which cab file is responcible for the MSN ?

does anyone know which file includes the T9 dutch?
I do not want the rest I only want the T9 on my mda-pro back again

well I beleive it is the t9dutch.ldb I can get it off my MDA PRo it is still with the crappy t-mobile ROM, if that helps let me know and give me your e-mail adress. But again I saw this file in the windows directory, so maybe I am wrong and you need the install for it

Best Universal ROM for T-Mobile

Now, the question is, now I am free of O, what is the best ROM to use on T-Mobile on my M5000.
I have already upgraded the Radio ROM to 1.09 and will be keeping that...
I have a few of Lines of thought...
1. Leave it as it is (Orange ROM) and just change all the settings.
2. Install the latest IMATE ROM
3. Install the latest IMATE ROM and use the T-Mobile extended ROM rather than the IMATE one.
4. Install the latest IMATE ROM and use the Orange extended ROM rather than the IMATE one.
5. Something completely different, as suggested by yourselves!
I have to say, I am not completely confident about modifying extended ROMs, otherwise I might go for the imate ROM, but remove backgammon, skype, and the virus checker if that was the best option?
What do you guys think?

Someone must have an opinion? There must be someone who has jumped from Orange to T-Mobile recently, with the unlimited data plans?

donnot install t-mobile extended ROM because then it gives errors. Just install Complete iMate (Rom + Extended Rom + Radio) version that is the best way to do it and also u can cancel extended rom if u want during installation and with Buzz's Unlock extended rom u can then unhide the extended ROM and then u can delete files which u donnot need and then Autorun. In this way u can have some free space in extended rom to install things : Best choice is for me because of its satbility and speed :
Complete installation of iMate

Problem is with the imate ROM you are missing lots of settings which are req'd for using T-Mobile (e.g. MMS).
You could as well install the very latest T-Mobile ROM (1.30.113 released today in German, guess English will come VERY shortly). Supposedly it's not noticably slower than the Qtek ROM.
Or you go with the iMate ROM without any Extrom and take John Does ultimative T-Mobile Cab: http://www.ppc-welt.tv/community/showpost.php?p=649264&postcount=27
This gives you all T-Mobile settings plus a little tweaking and some extra stuff.

Any method to FULLY unlock the extended ROM on HTC Wizard?????

Can anyone comment on the Advanced Configuration Tool V1.1 Schap's 2007, included in OCTAIVOI 6.0 Rom. The Miscellaneous (Misc) tab has options to "Show Extended ROM" and "Unlock Extended ROM".
When I check these, I cannot detect that the ACT v1.1 actually changes anything on my device. I can use the Windows Service Tool V 4.2.1 by Mestrini to actually make the extended ROM visible. I can also format the extended ROM from WST 4.2.1. On my T-Mobile MDA running Octaivoi V6 the ExtRom is then displayed as Extended_ROM2 in the root directory of my device. I can write some, but not all files to the Extended_ROM2 directory, but cannot then delete them - only by using WST to format the ExtRom again. So, it appears that the Extended ROM is not truly unlocked.
I was hoping to regain the extra 9-10 Mb for program installation (not just CAB storage). Anybody else tried this, or found a solution to truly/fully unlock the Extended ROM region on the HTC Wizard? If so please post and PM me. May also send direct to [email protected] if you don't mind.
THANKS - you all ROCK!
Mike

I am also looking for one. Even I am unable to format my extended rom using WST for my device O2 XDA Mini S.........

Are you sure it has one? It might be a Big Storage ROM.

huh no i'm not shure...
I've saw thats theres a anti-theft programm names IIWPO.
In the Installation Guide i have to put it into the extended ROM. How can i install it without the extended Rom? I can install it by windows, but after a Hardreset it will be ereased too isn't it?

True but for that you need an extended ROM. From what I know, bepe's last ROM does not have an extended part.
But you might ask him about this.
Also, from what I know, IIWPO is for Wizard, so you might check on info regarding Trinity compatibility.

ok thanks for the answers. I'm new with this windows mobile phones
Do you know an other Program like IIWPO?

Try Ultimate Theft Alert v3.5 and W.I.M.P. Both have ability to track via GPS when your phone gets stolen as well.
