Extended_ROM_Unlocker functionality

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

IIWPO installation - HELP please!

my iiwpo doesnt work after several tries..... no more ideas, so help me please!!
i got customized iiwpo.cab in my extended_rom folder (nothing else), please, can someone step-by-step tell me what to do now!??
ps i tried with autorun,setup and config.txt - many different configuration but nothing, iiwpo has been installed but no sign of life after that!
tnx,
regards

Same here - IIWPO doesn't work
Same here - IIWPO doesn't work (on my jasjar I mean). However, I was unable to re-lock the Extended ROM - can this be the reason? Does it need to be locked?

Universal and IIwpo
I have succeeded in getting iiwpo to run on the Qtek 9000 with the new o2 rom update. First I tried it by just installing it in the my documents folder and it works. I then tried to put it in rom with no success. After a hard reset it simply would not install. The reason is because it is unsigned and never loads. The solution is simple. First of course you have to unlock and unhide the extended rom, and then follow the instructions for installing the iiwpo cab file you have created. After that, you need to install the program available in this forum to bypass the security check (default_disablesecurity.cab). Put this in the extended rom as well. Then modify the config.txt file. Mine looks as follows:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_PortalKey.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_UAProf.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_VoiceMail.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_Customize.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Disable_ErrorDump-Obex.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Version.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Customization-O2UK-Universal.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_MoveO2Tone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Shortcut-O2UK-22Aug05.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MS5.CAB
I named the iiwpo file ms5.cab instead of iiwpo.cab for a little extra security, since you can see iiwpo loading after a hard reset. It now works as advertised. You should of course do a hard reset to relock and rehide the extended rom. I used the beta of sprite backup to back up my qtek, and so after the hard reset and a re-install of sprite it is easy to restore your unit. The original instructions did not take into account the security check in wm5, as the program was not written initially for our universals.

Back to the drawing board, but I don't think it is a serious problem. I found out that a hard restore writes the programs iiwpo_startup.exe to the windows folder and to the startup folder as it should, but the registry values are never written into the registry. I had been playing around so much with this iiwpo that I forgot that I had restored a registry and thus had the values already in it. A hard restore does not touch the registry as it should. I believe there is a simple solution to this but my knowledge of how the values get written to the registry is not sufficient to immediately solve the problem. Hopefully one of the gurus will read this thread and help out. The values are entered into the registry if you run the iiwpo.cab file from a location other than the extended rom. Perhaps the location in the config.txt file is important. I will continue to work on this and post any further progress.

Solved. Put the items in the config.txt folder
LOCK:Enabled

It seems that the security defeat has to go at the top. Perhaps there is some timing delay problem. It now works, and you can put your own phone number in for testing. It will send you an sms.

I still don;t seem to be able to get my xda exec to get the IIWPO program to work. I have followed the instructions found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=IIWPO
I have customised the file
I have unlocked my extended rom (though I appear to have directories extended rom and extended rom2
I have adjusted my config.txt file (in both extended rom directories to be sure)
I have installed and activated IIWPO
I have added the disable security cab file, and installed that.
I still don't have any joy with the IIWPO application, and I don't know how to lock the extended rom. I have only being performing soft resets to test the IIWPO out, but using the hole and PHM Tools reset
As always, your help is greatly appreciated

Hello there people
I've been searching for hours on end with no joy so far.
I'm trying to install IIWPO in my unlocked extended rom. I have an XDA Exec that's been flashed with the Imate JasJar 1.30.76
I've taken the steps as per the wiki exactly, that is: got the anonymous file, opened it using the recommended WinCE CAB Manager, changed the platformxxx.reg file to contain my details, stuck it back in the cab.
I then try to just launch the cab file on my universal and it fails. First it asks me where I want to install it, I leave it in the deafult directory, it attempts to install then it says:
"eDsuBsofT IIWPO by XDA-Developers" cannot be installed.
To try installing again to a different location, choose a location:"
It offers me a chance to set another directory and at this stage it fails immediately.
The only difference between the original anonymous template cab, and my cab is the platformxxx.reg file, which I've followed as per the wiki! (I've tried with and without checking the hard-coded box for the \Windows directory entry for that file.
so I've come for help... I've really tried every thing under the sun now. many thanks in advance for any attention!

I can't find config.exe anyyyywhere on my pocket pc not even extended rom. Where is it located by default??

Does Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB disable the security for file install permanently on?
This will make the device dangerous to virus install.
How to enable it back after IIWPO install?

"eDsuBsofT IIWPO by XDA-Developers" cannot be installed.

i've had the exact same problem which i sat hours to figure out.
my problem was the winCe cab manager, i had a damaged version, and without knowing it created damaged installations.
get the newest version from their site (google it if you can't find it), reinstall and try again.
(don't apply any cracks on the app, tho. that may also be the reason)

can you explain how you managed to get it unlocked and unhid?
thks

Works for me, but guys do you run total commander once reboot ? Coz only this soft so far help to access the Ex Rom

Seems to me that after a number of soft resets it no longer works. So if it is working now it may not continue to.

I want to rename Extended_Rom to Extended_Rom2 since I'm restoring everything except the registry from a Sprite Backup
(Worked well btw). Anyone got a clue how to do that
Cheers

Well... did someone figured out why are we having several experiences to unlock Extended ROM?
For me it doesn't work at all!
Neither:
- Buzz .exe http://buzzdev.net/component/option.../id,205/chk,99f2bb3ad970c21a6b337a374c7a7b1c/
- Asukal .cab http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/Uni_ExtRom_unlocker.cab
Total Commander also doesn't show the Extended ROM
Can anyone who succeded with it, detail the steps done?

The name is set in,
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
With the key Folder = Extended_ROM so change Extended_ROM to Extended_Rom2

Thanks dah54,
done that, but the name does not change, not even from Total Commander when using the new JasJar rom

Something seems to be getting corrupted in the registry. Perhaps by a common cab we are using? I had it appear, and I copied the cabs out of it, then after a number of resets it disappeared. I checked the registry values and they where correct!
So I then did a hard reset, and a soft reset to stop the Auto install of the cabs in the Extended ROM. I changed the following to these values in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
and in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
and
"Folder"="ExtROM"
and after a soft reset it reappeared, NOTE I DID NOT RUN THE TOOL again, just changed the values in the registry key. I believe this should not work, but it does.

So do you mean that some CAB in original Ext ROM, may be preventing the Unlock tool!?
Did you skiped all CABs in Ext ROM (by doing a softreset)? Or just after a specific CAB?
For me never saw Ext ROM, unlocked and visible with this i-mate ROM.

take out the _ its cos theres already a folder you cant see called Extended_Rom, i renamed mine to EXTRom and it shows as that in resco explorer, with no Extended_Rom folder Listed using buzz's method.
run the prog,
reboot,
edit the registry with EXTRom change,
accessed in resco no probs,
removed all junk,
now im set!!!

Interesting....
Mine disappeared with the new rom also, and the registry values where correct, and no amount of soft resets or running the tool would make it reappear. So after a hard reset it reappeared with just the registry change. I have changed the Folder to ExtROM on mine and that is what FE (File Explorer) is showing, and it is back again for now.

what are the exact registry values you have now? do you have a TrueFS TRUEFS_DOC1 TRUEFS_DOC2 in autoload and a TRUEFS_DOC TRUEFS_DOC1 TRUEFS_DOC2 in Profiles?

Signed CAB's

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install a few of CAB's from the Orange Ext ROM on to my O2 Exec.
They all say they installed OK, but theres no sign of one of them, [a Signed CAB] even after a soft reset.
Do I need to do something else, to install Signed CAB's on other vendors ROM's ?

What do you mean with "theres no sign of them"?
No sign in the software removal section ? Thats normal because the cabs from extrom normally do not appear here.
If the desired effect from the cab is there yu got it working

Hi Ivan,
I've only got trouble with one of the CAB files, a signed one.
The file i'm trying to install is the 'Orange Today' plugin. It says it installs OK, but doesn't show up on the today screen or listed in its options.
The other CAB's which are not signed are Phone and MMS settings which install and work fine.
Is there something special I need to do to install an Orange signed CAB on an O2 Exec ?

Yes there is.
Unfortunately in the Orange rom are all files needed for the Orange style today screen.
In the cab file are only the reg settings to enable it.
Bad luck. Only chance to use it, is to extract the needed files and additional reg settings (there aren't all needed reg settings in the cab file) from the orange rom.
If you do this you will slowdown your device, because this thing is painfully slow.

OK, its seems i'm looking for the impossible again.
I'll give it a try the other way round.
Using the Orange ROM and adding the O2 settings and apps I need for work. Hopefully it won't be too slow when in work mode and the Orange plugin is turned off.
Thank you for your help Ivan.

[Q] How to deal with Self Registering Dlls while Cooking

While Cooking for LEO, many CABs has a self registering Dlls which runs fine from the cab file but when you try to convert the cab to OEM package, this dll looses it self registering functionality because there wasn't any code grabbed to the OEM package that tells the Kitchen to mark it for self registering.
Is there any solution for such a case?
To Make it clear:
I'm trying to cook "MOBiDIV_PrayerTimes_Diamond2_B15_TSD_Jun1.Cab " but the problem with the included "fileosp.dll" which requires self registration that is been automatic done while installing the .CAB
So, is there any kind of solution to do it while COOKING the ROM?

Use kheb to grab all the registry keys that are installed during the cab install/reset process. Then put them in your package. Or just search for the keys. We're talking the HKCR\clsid keys, aren't we? They're usually easy enough to find, if you dump and search your registry.

Thanks for your idea.
I did already and got all clsid and inject them in the package but still the same.
It seems emulator is behaving differently than actual device, what you think?

InCities.cdb
After ROM Booting, i re-install the Original Application, it works.
This is normal because the original application is doing something with InCities.cdb file.
I knew that my registry entries is correct because:
1- I checked everything in registry before and after my modification.
2- I checked everything before and after Original Program Change.
changes are identical
BUT
BUT
WHEN I PLAYED WITH (CHANGED) THE REGISTRY ENTRIES:
FROM
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Shared]
"\\Windows\\InCities.cdb"=dword:00000001
TO
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Shared]
"\\Windows\\InCities111111111.cdb"=dword:00000001
then copied another file as the same name
then tried to change it back to original, THE APPLICATION FAILED.......................................
So, Here is the trick but i don't know how to fix.
