Hola,
I Have for a few days one Artemis.
When I ignited it for the first time the content of the EXT_ROM2 was not loaded.
Speak with the technical service, I sent it, and they said to me that itwas nice. Speak with QTEK SPAIN and not know anything the model.
Yesterday I unlock the EXT_ROM2, it has empty, but on having tried to format it, the content appeared.
I can execute the .CAB, but the .XML not.
Someone woold to say to me because the EXT_ROM2 is not executed after a HARD RESET?.
How the file CONFIG.TXT executes in order that I install the whole content? Thank you.
in this moment, i make one hardreset, and it has start to install the ExtRom, but the process stop went it has to make the .xml, snd crash. Someone idea?

I use this tool without an expected goal, I use another one (PPCW.net Extended_ROM_viewer) with same effect andfinally I did changes in registry manually, but still without effect. Where should be the problem?
ROM 1.72.00WWE
Radio: 1.17.00
Protocol:1337.28
ExtROM: 1.72.901
What do you expect and what do you get?
Can you be more specific about what isn't working?

Described applications has clear functionality: to show Extended_ROM directory (lock, unlock too, of course). I want copy .cab files to pc and cook my own ms_.nbf.
So after aplying these tools nothing happens, no directory shows in root of my XDAII. Why? Can you help me with this mess?
Did you soft reset your device after applying the unlock tool?
If not then do a soft reset. If yes then do the following to read the content of your extended rom:
Go in the registry to
HKLM\system\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC
Change the key MountFlags to 0 (= zero)
Soft reset your XDA II/QTEK2020 etc
In the file explorer a directory Extended_ROM will show up. Now you will be able to copy the content of your extended rom.
Note that your extended rom is not unlocked so you will not be able to write something to the extended rom. As you've stated you're going to flash your rom then this will not be problem I assume.

you didn´t read ny first post carefully - i did it already hudret times manually or with tools, but nothing happens. No directory shows. I´m not rookie user, but now i´m on the end with my power and nerves.
I used copyying rom through bootloader and usb terminal to sd card, but format of data is not readable for Windows PC....see http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62&PN=1
Sorry that my attempt to help you works on your nervers and sorry that I was trying to help you.

today seems my mood better, (because i found somthing about that problem) so sorry about my reaction, for a little apology i´m writting what i find out:
so i had ROM version 1.60WWE as original one with Radio 1.12, devide with CDL oerator. I was upgrading ROM many times (ROM, ExtROM, Radio together and separatelly too), but new ROMs was still from CDL operator. Last time I upgraded ROM to 1.72WWE, Radio 1.17 from TMobile, and I couldn´t do any change in registry with sucsess. My registry data stand changed, but nothing happens. (for example: i tryied to show Orange logo in Phone to substitute title ORANGE (in right up corner) withouth sucsess, and that ist far easier operation that this we are talked before (see http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80&PN=1 - you are orangeman too, so change yours logo , when you don´t have it yet.)
finally i have no idea how to fix it (without downgrading ROM) and i´m not 100% sure if this is the point of problem, but i gues. bye
Hello!
I had an idea to the horrible "simlock.exe" from the blueangel:
We all know that the "simlock.exe" is write-protected in the rom. So i have searched (with Total-Commander CE) in which other files is standing "simlock.exe" too. And i found the "rilgsm.dll". But this "rilgsm.dll" is write-protected too.
Ok.
I searched now the registry and wooow: I found "rilgsm.dll" in "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL" under the String-value called "dll". When I renamed this "dll" to "xdll" (described in much other things under BA-Hacks) the GSM-Phone isn't working.
My solution:
I copied the "rilgsm.dll" to my PC, opened it with Ultra-Edit 32 and found "\Windows\simlock.exe". I wrote now "\Window2\simlock.exe" in this "rilgsm.dll" and saved it as "rilgsm2.dll" and copied this new "rilgsm2.dll" back to the Blueangel under "\Windows". In the registry i wrote under "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL" under "dll" now "rilgsm2.dll" so that the system now will start my modified "rilgsm2.dll". I also made a new directory called "\Window2" and copied the "AddRingtone.exe" as "simlock.exe" in this new directory "Window2".
So now when I reset the Blueangel it works with my T-Mobile-SIM-Card. So now i haven't another SIM-Card from an other provider, this i will test tomorrow.
But maybe someone can use my idea and will build an crack for this horrible "simlock.exe"
Who knows....
==========
Please let me know when you test my idea and when it works or not...
THANK YOU!!!!!

Status: Blueangel: Idea to SIMLOCK.EXE
This message is for everybody who is interesting what i've found out:
The "rilgsm.dll" is the "Radio Interface Layer". In the BlueAngel this "rilgsm.dll" calls the "simlock.exe" for the correct SIM-Card. The "simlock.exe" gives a lot of result-codes back to the "rilgsm.dll".
My solution in the moment (I hope that i'm on the right way):
On my phone I've modified the "rilgsm.dll" so that it doesn't call the simlock.exe anymore. In this moment when i put in a other sim-card as T-Mobile the phone asks me for the PIN-Code of the new sim BUT then the phone brings me an error "unknown sim-status".
So I hope now that i find out what is necesary for the BlueAngel that it will accept a sim-card from an other provider.
If aomebody has an idea pleas feel free to write me...
good job!
yeah,i think you are are on the right way,i will test your idea.
I dont know if this is any help but i found it on a rival forum (GSM-forums)

I tried it, but it doesn't work on the BlueAngel. After you replace the dll, the wireless radio switch of the phone turns on/off the Bluetooth :lol:
As for the phone functions: it says a wireless radio needs to be attached to use them...
Could be a place to start, although from what I've learned here so far, you can't (read: shouldn't be able to) unlock the phone just by hacking the rilgsm.dll. Or am I mistaken?
Status: Blueangel: Idea to SIMLOCK.EXE
Hello!
What is the status for my idea to hack the simlock?
I can't hack correct the "rilgsm.dll" only with a hex-editor. And I haven't the tools to dump the communications between the "rilgsm.dll" and the "simlock.exe". As I say in my last post in the moment the solution is that the BlueAngels doesn't ask anymore for the unlock code, but it says "Unknown sim status" when I put in an other sim-card from an other provider.
So in the moment i'll try to get a unlocked version of the BlueAngel. I know somebody who has unlocked versions of the BlueAngel.
When I get such a device first I will make a rom backup.
Then I will compare the file "rilgsm.dll" from the unlocked device with the file from the locked device.
Maybe i must flash my locked device with the complete rom of an unlocked device, i don't know.
I can't say I'm on the right way, but I will not give up in this moment.
I think to get the unlocked device will last approximately two weeks. So wish me luck!
Greetings, Peter
Here is rilgsm.dll from my unlocked device

thanks
htvi,
Could you provide the .uif file that was extracted by the imei-check tool for each imei/unlock code combination? with those it should be possible to figure out how the people at www.imei-check.co.uk are extracting the unlock code!
Thanks in advance,
JDH
P.S. If anyone else has such information i.e. IMEI, Unlock code and the imei-check .uif data file (as extracted from each Blue Angel) that would be of a great help!
JohnnyDH
unfortunatelly i was too stupid to save all of them...(
but i'm unlocking 2-3 phones each week
i have now 2 orange m500 to unlock (htc magician)
i'll post imei numbers, unlock codes and files tommorow
@htvi
Ok, so I have downloaded both Windows mobile 2005 versions for Himalaya(probiably modified by some guy whose name I forgot), and the other official which i guess can be installed on all devices that have a bit faster processor and enough RAM.
I didnt want to install it before knowing if my m2000 is still gonna be sim-unlocked. Can you tell me htvi, or anyone else?
Thanks in advance
I don't know if it helps but, you may check this one out on http://unlock.nokiafree.org/ :
Download binaries for windows of NokiaFREE unlock codes calculator version 3.10
released on 4th, October, 2004
Maby the calculation steps just work...
ok, so here is one of them:
IMEI 354819002404379
UNLOCK-CODE: 60597866
i'll post the second later
note: it was an orange m500 (htc magician)
@htvi
Sorry about the delayed response, I'm often away for periods of time and have only just had an opportunity to check!
Thanks for that first set; have you processed any further phones and can therefore provide the details? the more the better really! if it would be easier for you, PM me and I'll provide my e-mail.
Cheers, JDH
Unlocking data
Here's th info of a recently unlocked MDA III (BlueAngel):
IMEI: 353030002519296
Unlock code: 5809468
Hope this helps.
Apologies in advance for the newbie question.
I have a new SPV-M5000 locked to Orange. I think I have all of the files that I need to unlock it, and using all three hands I managed to get it into bootloader mode, but when I try to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe I get the following error: "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
I hope that I am making some kind of really dumb (and therefore easily fixable) newbie mistake here. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Upgrade utility
Hi.
I have the same issue and posted the following on Buzz's site (buzzdev.net) over a week ago but have had no replies. Hopefully someone with an answer will reply to you here?
Quote:
Having read pretty much all the forums on Universal software optimisation starting with craigiecraigie4's excellent guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 and extensive reading on the wiki site and of course Buzz's brilliant work throughout this and other sites, I finally feel ready to take the plunge with updating my new o2 xdaExec using o2's 1.30.107 WWE ROM, Dopod's 1.11.00 Radio and my own Extended ROM creation (yet to be made as I want to do 1 bit at a time). I thought I'd put Jasjar's extended ROM (164 I think) on until I have got use to modifying the Ext ROM image as I want.
However, I need to use Buzz'y MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program as the standard installer is telling me there is a country error. Fine, so I have that downloaded BUT when I try to run it, my Windows XP system tells me that it is not a valid win32 application. Am I missing something here? Have I downloaded the wrong program or is there a problem with my XP? I don't appear to have this problem with other programs.
Hope I have included enough info for someone to tell me where I am going wrong.
HELP................
Unquote.
I have just downloaded a version from this forum (about half way down) - I haven't had a chance to test it yet but it IS different and if I run it without connecting my Universal, it does run the program but fails as no PPC device connected so it may be the better version. I will try it tomorrow but if you test it first, let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54210&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
O.K., that file seemed to do it.
I have now flashed my ROM with the latest non-Greek QTEK build, UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe, and then copied UNI_Unlock_v1.exe onto a SD card and ran it. I got a successful unlock message.
However, when I put my SIM into the phone, it booted up to a plain screen with a title bar of "Simlock" and the following message: "Network is locked, Please input unlock code".
Did I miss a step somewhere? Is it possible that the SIM itself could be locked (it's a brand new Cingular SIM) somehow?
Yes you did miss a step, in fact you missed lots of steps.
Go back and read the readme.txt file that came with the unlock program, everything is explained very clearly in there what you need to do!
Hi there!
I am in serious need of help with my iPAQ hx2490. Yesterday, I tried to do the
official HP ROM Update. Everything went well, up to about a point when the RUU told me that there is a connection problem with my device.
The update went to just about half way through, and I didn't touch anything, I just left the device in it's cradle.
Anyway, my problem now is, that the device won't start the OS, I can't get past the HP welcome screen. The loading bar fires up, and completes it's way to the right, but after that: NOTHING!
I have tried soft, hard and clean reset, without any help. When I do a clean reset, the display shows "Formattin PS", and the loading bar reaches the right. But after that: NOTHING again!
I tried flashing everything again, from WM 2005 first and second edition, even WM 2003. The result is always the same.
I can get it into Pre-Bootloader, normal E-Bootloader. I do get a "USB Connected" message, and I do get the following "USB" message on the screen.
Now here's the odd thing (and I do hope that all you experts are dying to solve this mystery!): when I do the update again, at either 84,1% or sometimes 85,1%, the iPAQ shuts down, and starts again. But this doesn't stop the RUU from continuing!!
I've tried everything I can, I read all the infos in the forums concerning iPAQ problems, but they're mostly concerning entering bootloader, which is NOT my problem.
Money ahead: I'll donate 10€ to the person who is able to solve this riddle!!
The money can go to either this website or the person's own PayPal account.
oh I forgot: I did try ChrisMRulz bootloader method, but I wouldn't work for me. I managed as far as the MTTY program firing up, and I do get a WCEUSB prompt, but can't enter any commands, and the nbf file doesn't get uploaded!
PROBLEM SOLVED!! Sorry.....
Can you tell us how?
Maybe it will be helpful for others that have similar problems in future.
Sure, I can do that:
I managed to flash the official International English ROM Update to my german hx2490 iPAQ. I just used the trick that you have to start the correct HPRUU.exe for your country-specific device, but just before you hit the last "Update" button, you change the .nbf file with the one you want to flash.
But you have to rename it to according filename the HPRUU.exe originally loaded,
if you don't rename it, the update utility will crash.
By doing so, I was able to flash the above mentioned ROM to my device, and after that I just flashed my country-specific ROM.
Now I'm back and running WM5.
If further explanation is needed, I'll gladly help out someone with the same problem.
hi i have a htc touch pro2 from us cellular and im having a problem running emulators on my phone. Ive tried running now both the pocketgba and the pocketgnuboy and i keep getting the same error for both. The error is "The file 'Pocketgnuboy' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the Proble persists, try reinstaling or restoring the file." Ive saved both of them to my SD card and im not sure if thats the problem.
So if anyone can help and show me what to do to fix this problem and how to do install etc. then it would be greatly appreciated thankxx..
Thread moved to correct section.
I'm pretty sure others will help out soon with advice re. app unlocking (or whatever it is called on modern devices), or sdkcerts or similar, however that error message rings a bell for a different reason... On my previous phone I was using a util to alter shortcut's properties (sorry, it was a while ago now, but the specifics won't matter.) Upon seeing the error msg, I was initially convinced I had somehow restored the phone to it's original status of not trusting unsigned CABs, or not allowing certain software. HOWEVER, I eventually noticed that running the EXEs directly (File Explorer/Resco Explorer/Total Commander) meant the apps would work fine, it was just the start menu's shortcuts that gave that error, but not even on all shortcuts.
Short version, while you wait for a more knowledgeable person to come along and guide you through the more likely/common issues, is try navigating to \program files\YOUR APP NAME\your_app_name.exe , run it. If the program works fine, all you'll need to do is navigate to \windows\start menu\ and delete the non-functioning shortcut, and create a new one.
HIH
