I'm trying to unlock the extended rom on my MDA Compact. I've downloaded extrom tools, but whenever I try anything, I get an error saying 'FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION'. Is there some sort of hardware jumper perhaps stopping me from unlocking the extended rom?

hello!
ur MDA compact is it same with xda2 mini ???
What exactly do you mean with unlocking? If you only want to see the contents of the Ext_Rom, you have to do a hard reset and, before adjusting the Touchscreen, a soft reset. After the reboot you should be able to see the files. This might not work for newer Roms. Another possibility would be to use the Vdisk program. Search here in the forum.
If you want to write onto your Ext_Rom, meaning to free its space for additional storage (the files saved in the Ext_Rom will be deleted by this procedure - as I remember also the content of your storage), you have to follow this link

thanks!!!
but i still cant get wat i wan !!! anywhere thanks for ur help if any news things or u get the information for unlock the xda2mini extrom pls tell me !!! thanks u very much !!!!!
Did you read the posts in the link I referred to? There's information about how to make the Ext_Rom writable. Is that what you mean?
Thanks for the link, but I don't want to downgrade just to unlock it. I was thinking I could just delete all of the automatic T-Mobile customization.
Downgrade to unlock it? What do you mean? You can patch every Rom version to the BigStorage one, making the storage of the Ext_Rom writable. If you only want to get rid of the branding and automatic installation of the provider specific software, you have to make a HardReset and, right after the touchscreen calibration, a soft reset. That removes all branding and you can see the Ext_Rom in your file browser.
unlock extrom

Hi friends, I am looking for a solution to the problem of theft of PDA's. I have been told that in order to have a complete protection I may enter a theft protection application in the ROM itself so that even if any intelliegent thief is going to hardreset it I could still well would have the protection of that software. I have purchased a software for myself & looking to put in to self cooked ROM. May I know which is the best way of making a ROM for my Orange SPV 3100. Will it be a success or a failure to begin with. This is something I want to know from the seniors out here. I want a brainstorming session to be conducted here so that this scourge of theft could be controlled to an extent. I know there are lot of intelligent people out here in XDA Forum but I don't know why are'nt they taking any step in this novel concept. I know they cann't put any legal software coz that would make the ROM illegal but they can provide the option to the users so that they may buy & add that theft protection in to that ROM. I hope I have made myself clear with my plans..I hope a serious & honest consideration would be given to my initiative. This would be a paradigm change in the PDA usage...

If the thieve is not too dumb he will reflash the ROM anyway.
As far as I know there is no proof of concept of an ultimate anti thieve tool.
Dear be a part of answer not of the question. I want all of Your support in order to make this thing possible. I believe a cooked ROM can do that..
Hi friend I got this reply in one of my queries posted to somebody somewhere. Just wanna confirm whether this trick will work as to make a permanent theft protection in my ROM. I hope You got it..Plz comment seniors
Ultimate theft alert - The method to survive hard reset!
The software can be made to survive Hard-resets by adding certain files to your Ext.ROM. There are many tools to see/unlock your extended ROM - i am using Total Commander for PPC. Simply type "extended_rom" (without "") in the Dir bar and u will get full access.
After purchasing the software, you will have the following files in your Pocket PC' Windows folder
RecordDUI_UTA.txt
utaconfig
uta v3.exe
mesuta
Tapilib.dll
& UTA v3.lnk in Windows/Startup folder
1.Take a copy of these files in your PC.
2.Download WinCE cab manager. Trial version would be enough for the job. This software helps in creating cab files.
3.Add the above files to be placed in Windows folder
4.UTA v3.lnk should be specified to be placed in Windows/Startup folder
5.Finally you can build the cab.
This cab should be added to your Ext.ROM and a small edit to the config file of Ext.ROM(present in Ext.ROM folder) should be made to install the copied cab.

As fun_key already stated:
This is wasted time and energy! Nothing you would cook into your personal ROM would prevent a thief from simply reflashing the device! Also: while you're busy on the computer trying to cook an ANTI THEFT ROM somebody really might come and steal your pda ...
Best way of protection:watch your stuff!
In case you go ahead and cook a ROM for the next weeks you might give it a thought that even if there would be a possibility to prevent the thief from using your device right away - you will have lost it anyway! I doubt that the thief would come back, knock on your door and return the phone to you under appaologies ...
One annoying program, which shall remain nameless, keeps deleting a registry key. Without regedt32 I'm stuck for a way to deny it that permission.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks

Hi, I make a .CAB file with WIFI network settings, following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1227587&postcount=20
Now, I want to go a step ahead, and I need to Encrypt resultant .CAB so nobodys can read the Network Key (This cab is going to be distributed, can´t use a local encryption software) or Write maybe if its possible write network Key in _setup.xml with a coded string that can´t be used in windows mobile standart WIFI dialog.
Someone knows if it´s possible to make something like that so nobody´s can read the network key inside the CAB.
Thanks in advance.
up... nobody´s knows anything about this?
im not sure u can encrypt a cab..
why dont u use the setupdll?
it's easier and u can do anything u want whith that
Let me know if you need anything....
Can you be more specific about why you created this thread?
Otherwise I will proceed to delete it.
Thanks,
