Hide EXT_ROM - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I used the program posted in another thread to show the EXT_ROM but is there a way to lock it back now?

Stick to the thread where you got your unlocker. How should we help you if we don't know what you're using?
..................................................

The original post where the Hermes Extended Rom unlocker and unhider was posted is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57956

Try this registry hack to hide the Extended ROM again, haven't tried it, but just messed around with the cab a little bit and found this:
Code:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Drivers\MSYSEXT
"Background"=0x0 (0)
"Foreground"=0x0 (0)
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV
"MountHidden"=0x1 (1)
Let me know if it works

The original thread was in the General forum, I made the concious decision to post the question in the proper forum rather than keep content specific questions from overrunning the boards any longer.
So sorry if you were hurt by that, Jesus still loves you.

Solution is on the wiki now:

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.
xxx
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,

Unlocking Extended_Rom with AKU2 Rom FAQ

A little FAQ in regards to the Extended_Rom and AKU2 Rom
Q. Can I unlock my Extended_Rom in order to Delete Files from it or unhide it to install programs on it?
A. NO! The AKU2 roms lock the Extended_Rom and there is currently no way to unlock it.
Q. What is AKU2 Rom, how do I know if I'm running the AKU2 Rom?
A. Here's an easy way, Run the Connection Manager, do you see a button with a white evelope and an X, yeah you're running it?
Q. How can that be, I was able to unlock my Extended_Rom before I flashed the latest ROM update
A. Re-Read the first Question and Answer.
Q. I re-read the first Question and Answer but I was able to delete files from my Extended_Rom. However, I can't copy files to it. What's worse I'm now seeing funky file names and directories, what's going on?
A. What's going on is that the Extended_Rom is locked, you didn't really delete the files, they aren't replaced by funky characters or directories, you're messing with it and it's happening because it's locked!
Q. Well I can't believe that because I ran the current Extended_Rom Unlocker and.........?
A. Believe it! Just because you ran the current Extended_Rom Unlocker doesn't mean it worked!
Q. Will posting a question regarding how to unlock the Extended_Rom after installing AKU2 get me the answer I'm looking for?
A. No, you'll just be posting the same question asked over and over again and the only answer you'll get if any is NO!
Q. I still don't believe you?
A. Well then perhaps, a hypnotist, drugs or anything can be used to Unlock that Extended part of your brain that allows you to comprehend the words NO NOT AT THIS TIME is what you really need!
Q. Is someone working on an Extended_Rom Unlocker for the AKU2 Roms?
A. Yes, if you read the forums you'll see and probably more too.
Q. Maybe if I post a message like "Isn't anyone smart enough to figure this out?" or it looks like "<insert manufacture here> has got you beat!" It will encourage people working on an unlocker to work quicker?
A. I doubt it, look at it this way, if you were doing something for free and all you were getting was people whining and complaining to you, would you want to wark harder to help them or would you just be thinking to yourself, unappreciated little F's, why should I bother doing this?
Q. Well if someone is working on it, when will a new Extended_Unlocker for AKU2 be released?
A. It will be released when they figure it out and decide to release it and not a moment sooner.
Q. So what you're saying is at this time, there is no way for me to unlock my Extended_Rom after installing the AKU2 Rom. Which means there is no reason why I should post a question asking how to unlock it? I shouldn't complain about it and should just wait patiently until someone figures it out and release a new version of the Extended Unlocker tool?
A. I think there is hope for you!
Q. Well ok then how will I know when it's released?
A. You could look out your window and see hundreds of HTC users holding their devices over their heads dancing on the street, or you could just keep an eye out on the forums and you'll definitely know.

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.

Please show me where to download Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE

would like to download Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe for 8125 device
thanks you very much.
WIKI IS YOUR FRIEND...and stickied for a reason
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
the link is not working. thanks.
My bad. I looked at the HTC site and they have 2.25. I also looked at an HTC forum, and their link is dead too. Hopefully someone can renew the link for you.
To make up for being a smart ass earlier::
http://rapidshare.com/files/23672884/RUU_Wizard_1081101_10811103_10910_Cingular_WWE_Ship.zip
I searched the wizard forum and found the link in another thread.
You are awesome. I was looking but I guest I searched a wrong keyword.
thank you very much.
what i am trying to do is to unlock cid and sim of 8125 /ipl2.25 and sqp 2.25. according some threads. they said that i have to downgrade to 1.8 rom and use lockwizd to unlock cid and sim. The 1.05 rom does not work. it goes 98% and it stops. thanks once again.
READ, Read, read before doing any unlocking/customizing. There are wiki's and stickies here that will help you to understand the how's and why's so that you don't end up bricking your device. Dr. P has an excellent tut about unlocking. It is stickied. As for searching, often, if you put down specifically what you need, it will come up. That's what I did. I entered the entire rom you wanted, and bam, the magic genie gave me the link.

LOST, lost, need real help!!!

Guys, got a 4350 in Dutch and I want to have this toy in english.

You can try installing an english rom from here :
Available Original Shipped ROM Versions
But I suggest that you have your original RUU from your carrier before in case you brick your phone.

They sugested to buy a NEW one in Eng, and that is not the solution!!!!
If is the solution why exist this forum?
Have the solutions Y/N if Y post if N, stay away of this topic.

Ease up drclip (doe s ff chill als je wilt dat mensen je helpen)! The point of an forum is to get to better results thru discussion and referrals so each comment has added value, though not always the value your looking for.
The link of duprade is quit usable; if you know what your doing
The answer to your question is remarkably simple; a search thru the different forums would have answered your question. But we're not to lame the help you on your way
You can find all original RUU, including the WWE edition, in these forum and the wikipage. If you flash this WWE edition RUU version to you p3450 you have the english toy. Since your flashing, you might try the Touch-It version. The same OS but enhanced and slimmed down to make it more userfriendly.
One warning before you start flashing; make sure you have read enough to be sure you know what you're doingand you don't brick your phone.
If you have a "vendor-id" error; you will first have to unlock your CID lock. Chech the Mobile 6 subforum and look for a post by canonyang_China on how to flash without CID-unlock
Enjoy!

It makes me mad when people who misunderstood what they have to do.
or did the things wrong.always like others come out and said:"no,nothing work!"
I just want to say:
is you not work? or is the damn thing not work?
learn more and try more before you give up.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but couldnt he have flashed his original rom, used the aserg method and reflashed something like touch it in order to get it into english?
