Unlock extended ROM of MDAcompact (magician)

I am trying to unlock the extended ROM of the MDAcompact.
I can see the \Extended_ROM folder but it is write protected.
The unlocker for Universal and BlueAngel/Himalaya does not work.
Has anybody unlocked the extended rom of an magician successfully?
Have also searched this forum but could not find anything?
Thanks for any hints!

Sucker. :evil:

Why you call me sucker? :roll:
If your brain is so intelligent then
please share your knowledge with me.
Is it possible to remove the write protection only?

AFAIK, there is no tool to unlock the Extended ROM of the Magician.
If you wish to use the extra storage.. try Big-Storage ROMs.. there are may of them in the FTP
Cheers :wink:

Thanks duke911 for this info.
I know the Big-Storage ROM feature, but I want
to place my own cab file in the extended rom so
that it will be installed after hard reset.
But when not possible I cannot do this. :?

You can cook your own ROM if you wish, with your own Extended ROM files.. But this is a bit hard :?
I read a guid about this somewhere here ( in Magician upgrading ) it tells everything about creating you own BigStorage ROM with Extened ROM.. etc
you may search there...
Cheers

Wizard - Extended Rom - how to delete ???

Hi,
I am wondering, if anybody has ever found out, if it would be possible to "reformat" the Wizard in oder to eliminate the space for the Extended Rom?
I do not need it and the almost 10 MB more would be just perfect to encrase the space of the first partition (to get all 64 MB from the Rom for programs in one partition).
Any ideas??
Please let me know!

have you tried a search? there's tons of threads on modifying your Wizard Extended Rom if you're using a pre-AKU2 ROM. Here's one thread on modifying ExtROM when using AKU2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44518
Note that you won't gain any additional space from deleting bits in the Extended Rom, but certainly you could replace bits with applications of your own which would otherwise take up space in the user section of the persistent storage.
Edit: there was a thread about about the AKU2 extrom editing %)

xxx

From what I've read, you can only delete stuff (or do anything with) the extended rom if your OS rom version is LESS than 2.x. If it's 2.x (and yours is), it's locked and you can't do anything with it. As I understand it, there are people working on this, patience would probably be appreciated.

cma, take the 'search' hint on this
Unlocking the CID has NOTHING to do with unlocking the ExtROM (nor has is anything to do with SIM Unlock).
You are running the AKU2 ROM (as am I). Until now there is NO solution on making the ExtROM writable on all 1.6 roms and above (your rom is a 2.x rom).
You can try to change it via a very complicated way as mentioned in the thread wich is mentioned above.
Just be patient (like te rest of us) Buzz_lightyear is working on it, but until now it has been hard to extract a proper bootloader from the wizard. I send buz my bootloader last week and if that one is useable he might be working on it right now.

There is another thread which deals with modifying your ExtROM post-AKU2, but the steps are relatively complex;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44518

xxx

erm.. that thread deals specifically with being able to alter the contents of the ExtROM - which is part of what you want, no?
The other part of what you want - which is to say to re-allocate memory dedicated for ROM/ExtROM storage to user data storage, is an entirely different matter.. last I checked

xxx

there IS someone on the case already. You just have to WAIT until the people in that OTHER thread manage to come up with the answer!

cma said:
Hi ZeBoxx,
yes, ok, this is true - but in that thread is only written, that all people want this option, but nobody could do it!? Or???
I read and serach and read but - as many others for sure - I could not find anything helpful, exept knowing now, that many other persons do want to use the extended rom but they - as myself - simply can't.
Theirfor again my question in this tread:
IS THEIR NOBODY OUT, WHO CAN REMOVE THAT unnecassary WRITE PROTECTION???
I can not see any reason why it is done so!!!
THANKS for your pations and also for your response.
I hardly hope that anybody is capeable to help!!!

I'm not a flamer, but I've been cracking my head with the AKU2 Disk on Chip protection for the whole goddamn weekend...
Wizard/Prophet and probably Charmer all have this new protection. The bootloader has been completly changed, the memory structure also changed. IT'S not a trivial problem, buzz and me been looking at it and the password is not visible as it was...
Please respect the work of others. If your not happy about it, write your own tool.
Bye,
Ricardo

Chico,
Justin is correct, the Wiza100 & Wiza200 are all the same with only minor cosmetic differences. I see that you are new here so I'm going to politely suggest that you spend some time reading the forums and searching for the information you seek.
I don't know what the layout of the secondary keys is on your Wiza100 but I have a Cingular 8125 branded Wiza100 and have found that all WWE Roms correctly map my secondary keys. If you search the forum, you will find how to change the mapping of those keys.
You will find that other members here are very willing to help you but their patience is limited by your willingness to read and search the forums before starting a new thread that:
Has a vague title, I would suggest changing the thread title to something more indicative of your issue.
Asks for information that is already covered several time in the forum.
Attacks or insults someone who has a greater knowledge of these devices than you.
Good Luck in your Search for "Symbol Secondary Key Remapping".
(If you didn't get the hint then please don't contact me for more).
BTW, this isn't texting or IMing so if you want to be taken seriously don't type like it is.

Uninstall network wizard

is there any way to uninstall the network wizard that comes preinstalled with the dopod rom? i have the notification disabled but i would prefer if the app wasn't there at all.

If that is possible, I will be happy to get rid of old verion of Opera and Papago10 from Powermap 1.1.2 ROM ....

eazyvg: opera&papago are in rom - that means there is no way to uninstal only to flash another ROM, or utilz for cooking roms(imgfs_tools...) and remove it from there

just waiting for dutty to get his easy nbh tool working for the artemis then i can remove the network wizard cab from the ext. rom and reflash the rom - cool - come on dutty urry up mate!

So, u wanna say that it is possible to use some utility and cook/modify the Powermap 1.1.2 ROM, by simply removinf the files associated with the apps that I don't need .... is it that simple! Let me know where I can grab the util and if not difficult for (or someone else) to write a small tutorial/tips for this.
Tnx.

err...yes you can do this, but it is not that simple, a 'small' tutorial would be fairly useless. Your best bet is to do like myself and others who use this forum do - research and test and research and test and research and test!

Willyfxp, did you get any further with the removal of Network Wizard from the Dopod rom? I would love to get that nagging notification gone 4 ever
At every reboot I get the "your current operator (20416) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor"....
Thanks for letting me know

Anyone have Qtek9000 3UK Rom or Ext ROM contents?

I need to get hold of the 3UK Rom or the contents of theh extended ROM as my mate with an XDA Exec cant access services etc and his videomail is full and killed all his mail! 3 Helpline is useless needless to say!!
Please help!!

Would be nice, however this seems to be like hen's teeth. Have been looking for this myself.
Psi

OK change request... anyone with a QTEK 9000 care to look at their registry to see what PIE identifies itself as? Then we may be able to get it working on 3!

Re:
I ve got a 3uk contract with qtek 9000 and i dont mind sharing my rom or my ext rom if u can give me some instructions on how to do it.
I requested such a thing on numerous occasions in the past but noone replied at all.....
I tried to dump my rom as explained in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323023 but i m not quite sure if this is correct the procedure.
Anyway m8 if u r interested reply here or send me a PM
Regards
Z£Y$

just privated you my friend!

Could I get a copy of this as well please??
Ta.
Psi

I'll let everyone know if we manage to copy the ROM

there was talk on http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/
a while back regarding browser identification and 3 services.

I'd be interested in the contents of the extended rom. Should be easier than dumping the rom - just a case of unlocking/unhiding it with the tools from this site, copying the contents with ActiveSync or using an SD card, then zipping it and posting it to rapidshare or the xda ftp.

That'd do it. It's only the extended rom that's really got the changes in.

3 ExtROM
Hi,
Fantastic idea... i'm looking for 3 ExtROM for a cuple of months....
The main ROm doesn't matter, we can find the usefull things in Ext.ROM.
Just unlock your ExtRom and take a copy from that what you can find on it.
Pls. post it where you can upload the ExtROM. FTP of xda-dev?
