I had the same problem as you mentioned. Until now there is no way to restore it.... you can download the files from this forum somewhere.. But i find it to be useless because the files on the ext rom are just customizations only except the TT.. but then you can download the TT update and install it directly on your artemis...

Unlocking extended ROM

Really sorry - can someone point me in the direction of a tool that unlocks the extended ROM for a Wizard? I'ves searched but I can't find Am I being blind?
I need to free up some space and want to get rid of those imate .tsk files but need to unlock the ROM first.
Thanks

Ok Total commander gives you access to the extended rom using the method just posted above.
But if you want to actually have the extended rom showing all time, then you need this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680&highlight=extended+rom
The extended rom unlocker will give the actual extended rom as space deginated extended_rom2 and its about 9.85mb size or something with between about 350kb and 2.5mb of .cab files in it depending on whether its a Qtek (Which has the least amount of files), I-mate, o2 or T-Mobile, these last two probably (along with Orange) will have the most 'junk in them.
Once you have ran the exteneded rom unlocker and soft reset your device it will be accesible through file explorer you won't need TC.
You can then go in and delete (be careful to make sure what everything does first) its your own responsibility, and remove what you don't need.
For example on the I-mate Extended Rom you cane remove Backgammon, Skype and the anti virus prog. There wasn't much on the Qtek Rom I just put on mine just clearvue and soemthing else inconsequential, there was no skype or antivirus, but I believe some Qtek roms might have this.
T-Mobile is abother story, there is a shedload of crap in the extended rom, ranging from a today screen toolbar to small progs, there is list knocking about of what each file does. When I changed from T-Mob to I-mate and then Qtek I just transferred the T-Mobile GPRS settings and the GPRS disconnect button .cab and put them in the exteneded Rom myself and let it run.
Also on I-mate Rom there are carrier settings that you can delete which won't apply to you, basically lots fo countries phone settings, like o2 UK, T-Mobile Spain etc etc, depending on where you are in the world.
You can't delete the I-mate .tsk todayscreens as far as I know, they are not in the ExtRom. The Qtek ExtROm doesn't have the extra .tsk's just default and the Guava Bubbles one.
If anyone wants the T-Mobile GPRS .cab and GPRS disconnect button .cab I can send it through msn or email.
that doesn't work either. I treid with the unlocker and deleted the files with TC. If i check the content no files are there, but when i try to copy other files to the ext. Rom it says that the volume is write protected. I softreseted several times also.
Any hint on that ? How have all the others deleted the files in extended rom ?

Might not work for you but it worked for me and a load of others. Once the extended rom is visible you can delete files easily, you don't need TC like I said. Its easier to put additional cabs into my documents sync them across and just run them.
Yeah, that's a pitty.... I have the Vodafone VPA Compact II, which is the Wizard 100 afaik.
Someone around here has the same model and succeeded in removing the cabs from the extended rom ?

well general, depends on the OS you are using..
if you have rom version 1.6.x.x it won't work easy yet.
the pre 1.6.x.x roms are quite simple, download totalcommander for ppc, install it, run it, in the adress-bar type "\extended_rom\" without the " " 's, and voila, there they are..
good luck..
ps.
the search button on top of this page would give the oppertunity to search for words as extended rom in de wizard forums.. :wink:
Ok
Thanx works fine with TC
Just a last question, all cabs i place in extended_rom will install automatically after hard reset ?
'cause I saw i had a autorun.exe file in there and some sutomization cabs that install after Hardreset ???
Thanks

There's a config file in there too (can't remember it's name off hand, but it's fairly obvious). This has a list of the cab files to install after a hard reset. I guess you'd need to add your cab files to that list as well as copying them to extended ROM.

depends, some have a config.txt file, if you open this one and edit it to your
needs, the files you put into it will be installed after hard reset, if you
set the right parameters from the txt file.
other roms have the autorun.exe wich installs all the files in the extrom.
i'm not sure anymore if this is right, but i believe that if you rename your
cab's like this:
applicationX.cab -> Default_applicationX.cab
it will install without any problems.
if you have problems with unsigned cabs, you can use the signed.patch
wich can be found on the ftp.
On my Cingular 8125 the extended ROM is write protected, does anyone know how do I remove the write-protection?

you can access the files on the extended rom, but you can't edit any of the information there. you have to flash a new extended rom image for any changes to take effect. I think those that are looking at the extended rom unlockers is for a different purpose. I think I read somewhere that it let some people use the extended rom space as extra storage (~10 megs), but it messed up applications on the phone, especially the camera.
in general, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to unlock the extended rom. most rom builders look like they are trying to learn how to edit this properly to add it o their rom kitchens.
can one's extended rom go curropt?
after i heard about this, i went into extended rom just to see if it works.
and it did. i exited total commander and started to gather my anti theif program to get installed.
now I go back into extended rom, and everything became gibberish!
and when i click on something it says "error 3 Changing to dir!"
WTF is going on!
can someone help me out?

Changing ROM from Orange to i-Mate

OK, I understand how to do it with either the NoID updater or with HTC64 - that's not the problem...
What I want to know is this: if I change the Orange ROM to the latest i-Mate ROM, what happens to all the Orange network settings? Will I lose them or will the update only affect OS-type things?
Alternatively, which files in the Orange ROM will I need to replace in the i-Mate ROM (if I cook up a ROM of my own) in order to get the speed of the i-Mate ROM with all the Orange settings?

I guess it depends on which settings. If you are talking about mobile operator settings (like MMS, SMS, GPRS) then they are normally stored in a cab file in the extended ROM so all you have to do is copy the Orage extendedrom to your hard drive, flash the imate ROM, then install the appropriate cab file from the orange rom by copying it to the sd card and double clicking.
If you are talking about other settings (Wallpaper, splash screens, etc.) then this is ROM specific.
I may be wrong but I guess this is how it is.
It's just mobile operator settings I'm after.
I'm worried that once I install the i-Mate ROM I won't be able to use my phone. I know there's a long post that gives all the Orange settings but it just seems silly to have to enter them manually if there's a cab file that does it all for you, you know?
Thinking about it, could I install the i-Mate ROM then run the appropriate Orange cab file?
I believe that's what i said in my message :roll:
Hehe these settings are stored in your extendedROM. Do you know how to access ExtendedROM?
Give me a list of the files you have there.....I'm sure you can spot the operator settings. Or if you want, install Imate ROM then bypass it's extendedROM then install all orange CAB files that you transfered from ExtendedROM of orange to the PC.
Yes, I've already got the Extended ROM visible and writable.
This is the complete list of CAB files in the SPV M5000 Extended ROM:
CAB-Customization-OrangeUK-Universal-01-05-15Aug05.CAB
CAB-Shortcut-Orange-19Aug05.CAB
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB
Signed_Orange_SuspendResume.sa.CAB
Signed_Orange_UAString.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Conn.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Customize.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB
Signed_ORUK_SoundSetting_USSDAlarm.CAB
Signed_ORUK_Version.sa.CAB
Signed_pIE_Fav.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
Signed_SSD_WLanMgr_Orange_Icon_WWE.sa.CAB
Signed_UNI_pIE_View_Set.sa.CAB
UI_Orange_UK_0727.cab
UNI_BrowserPerformance.sa.CAB
UNI_Orange_2G3G_icon.sa.CAB
How about this, try this:
1. Install Imate ROM
2. Unlock/Unhide ExtendedROM
3. Delete Imate ExtendedROM and copy everything from the Orange ExtendedROM
4. Hard Reset
This will install the orange extended ROM
Now if you get some trouble with security/signing, there is a cab file in the XDA DEV ftp site that can handle this.... Just make the extended rom run this first before everything else.
OR
Just hard reset, bypass extended rom install, unlock/unhide extended ROM and then click on the files one at a time

Hi Guys,
New here , so please forgive all stupidity....
I've got the new jasjar rom, about to flash my Orange SPV M5000, I'm currently running it without the orange customization, ie, i hard reset, reloaded the rom, then soft reset to avoid orange rubbish being, loaded, then manually reset the gprs etc,
If i flash the jasjar, will i get the same situation, but a quicker phone?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James
Er....why did no-one mention that after installing the i-Mate ROM the phone then asks which operator you're with and then sets itself up accordingly?
:shock:
Im an M5000 owner too that was wondering about flashing to the imate rom...
Im after the microsoft direct push client thats on the new imate rom.
OK, plucked up the courage to upgrade to the jasjar rom, but I get a country ID error message,
Any ideas?
James.
Did you put the PPC in bootloader mode first?
Did you use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe?
No, where do i get that from?
i just ran the jasjar rom exe....
Any ideas now?
J.
Extract all the files from the Jasjar .exe file to one folder with WinZip.
Replace "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" with "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" - you'll find it below.
Disconnect your phone from the USB cable.
Press and hold LIGHT + POWER + RESET until the screen goes white and it says "serial" at the top.
Plug in the USB cable. "Serial" will change to USB.
Double-click on "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" - the PC and phone will do the rest.
If you get a country error, just repeat the process.
download roms
where can I download the imate extended rom and the orange extended rom?
thanks for that, i've opened with Win Rar and got two folders OutputFile and RUU_Tools.
Sound right?
Then I drop the maupgrade app into RUU/Universal/WWE?
All good?
Thanks,
J.
Also, if i run the ma upgrade , nothing happens.....get the run dialog, then nothing.........
Ideas?
Ta,

Did you backup to your PC the Orange ExtendedROM? The Settings customizations were there.
If not try the XDA DEV FTP site. THey have extendedROM's there for download. Don't know if they have Orange ROM but just download it then put in SD card and run the appropriate CAB file.
Check the wiki of xda dev for instructions on how to connect to FTP site

Issue - unable to install an ExtRom Cab (not signed?)

Hi all,
I'm trying to install an ExtRom cab from Orange French rom which include the PVPlayer (necessary for live TV).
However, I get a message "install was unsuccessful .... not digitally signed with a trusted certificate"...
I've run Buzz ExtRom unlocker tool with success, but now I dunno what to do to install this cab.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks
mm, tried various time and no success
I think i'm missing how works ext rom...

Try to copy all that you need to have into the extended rom folder, inclusive of the config.txt file (make sure the parts that you want are referred to in this txt).
Do a hard reset and let your device customize automatically.
If it does not work, try with all original extended rom files.
Ok, so it can't be installed like any programs... you need to install them at the same time as the rom after a hard reset.
Damn, should have asked before then, now I have so many things installed...
I guess I'll try to find another way before trying this.
Thanks anyway for your reply!

With some you can, with others you cannot. I think it has got something to do with loading the certificates first before you can install the signed versions of the cabs in the ex-rom.
You could try to install the certificates cab (is you can find which one that is) and then install the signed cab after it.
Let us know if and how it works!
Bon Success!
I should be able to find a cert cab somewhere... that's a good idea, I'll try this and let you know.
Thanks :wink:
Well I have installed two cert cabs :
Cert_SPCS.cab (from LokiWiz tools)
and PP_Certificate_OR_Jan23_Wizard.cab (from Orange Ext Rom)
But nothing changed before and after soft reset
I don't understand why adding this screen rotate icon on tray is signed...
The other cab I want to install is the PVplayer used for live TV.
Must be a simple way to install those cabs.

PVP player does not work with my dopod rom.
Wow thanks, it worked this time and I have now that screen rotate thing in my tray bar... great !!!!
How did you do this, did you took it from another extrom? or did you signed it somehow?
anyway, about PVPlayer, I suceeded to install one (in attachement), but I need to pass through pocket IE and Orange web to click on a live tv link (then I think it open the pvplayer).
But it didn't worked with the one I installed, I guess something was missing to make the link between IE and PVP
That's why I wanted to try the cab in orange fr extrom (also in attachment).
Well anyway, thanks you very much for the above cab that worked, at last I have the screen rotate on Today screen !!

Hi, me again on this topic...
So I have modified the ext rom so that at the hard reset it could install that cab (which I have attached to my last post):
MP-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-VOICE-PVPLAYER-Orange-FR-060118.CAB
But it seems that it has not worked since I have no PVplayer installed on my prophet... maybe the signature is prohibing the install from ext rom too.
Well, is there anyway to remove the signature of this cab or install a signature on it so that it could be installed on my dopod rom ?
Is there a cert cab I could use to install the sig on the prophet and then install this cab?
sorry if my question seems stupid, quite new on that part.
Thanks
Hey, i got the I-mate JAMin, but there's no config.txt in the EXtRom. ANybody knows the language and the way it should be coded?
not sure about this, I've seen 2 ext rom so far and both had text files config.txt or something...
But that's a bit of topic :wink:

I have the same problem with the Dutch Orange version when installing on the Dopod ROM. It does install, but I get a "non-imaged" icon in my programs folder that gives me a error message when I click it.
I have decided to forget about it all together.
Robin
I've unlocked my Jamin extended ROM and deleted "ALL" the files in it. Then I did a hrd reset and guess what..... all the files were restored.
This means that there is another ROM that the files are stored in even if you delete or cook the ext Rom, hard rest just igores it totally.
I guess i'll just wait for the possibility to go back to the orange rom from the dopod one :?

how to install the extended rom?

?
Do you mean that:
1) You haven't got all the programs installed?
or
2) You only have 40MB of 'STORAGE' ROM?
Answers:
1) You have to choose what programs / apps / etc. that you need - do a search for the EXTROM Kitchen on the XDA-Developers Wiki and choose the apps and utilities you want/need, then install any other software that you have.
or
2) You will need to flash back to WM2003 and unhide, then unlock the EXTROM on the BA (it can't be done on WM5,6) do a search, again, on the Wiki

when i reinstalled the rom i didn't copy the new file of the extended rom to the sd card and i used the one i installed the first rom with.
since it was my first reinstall i didn't notice that all the cab files from the original extended rom were delited automaticly after the installation. so i copied a fresh extended rom to sd and every thing was installed correctly.
if you want a thin install, install only the rom without the extended rom.

Got it - yeah, I always just install the ROM; I read up on what's in the EXTROM first, then I take the bits that I want and add them to my own installs - It's why I like xplode's ROMs - usually very clean, and very few 'additional' software that you may/may not want to have installed.
