Hi all,
I've upgraded to W2K5 on my XDA2. (respect to Buzz and all for their fantastic effort in making this possible) The Extended Rom is now unlocked/un-hidden
I'm confused about 1 thing. I've still got the orignal O2 extended ROM contents but after installing and hard resetting, I dont see the 'Customising' message and none of the CABs get installed.
This isnt a huge problem as I dont want most of them anyway but if I try to install them individually, the one I'm installing gives a message about removing the previously installed Customization Tools.
1. is the only way to install a few of these CABs to cook my own extended ROM?
2. Why would the original O2 extended ROM contents not even attempt to install after upgrading to W2K5/hard reset?
3. Is there a way to install individual CABs from the O2 extended ROM without the previously installed one being removed?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
you can install whatever you like but
keep in mind that some programs there will not work in BUZZmobile 2005
search the ftp for a 2577 zip files there is the best colection made for BUZZmobile by another god thats really good ;-)
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 ?
Regards

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?

if it's that easy to get into extended rom, then why do people release the unlockers for extrom? i don't get it.

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?
Hi all,

Anyone can help me on this?

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.

I should try this then, so I have to make the Ext rom folder appear with Buzz tools, then copy what I want in it and hard reset right?
Try this one.
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 !!

No, it comes standard unsigned with the NL Orange ex-rom.
Glad it worked out for you.
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 :?
Anybody can tell me how to unlock extend rom?thanks.
Sorry, i make a mistake!
Have the hermes ext rom ulocker been tested on an artemis? Earlier attempts with wizard ext rom unlocker on artemis managed to unlock the extended rom for a short while (at least made contents visible though not really removable)...but after soft resets strange things would happen with the extended rom...it would sometimes be visible and at other times not.
Has the hermes ext rom unlocker been tested for stability on the artemis? Does it allow use of the extended rom or just visibility?
Looking forward to your answer.

well mr "moderator" wlinsong,
how about checking on the info you spread!?
WRONG WRONG, WRONG, not functioning!
The versions you are claiming to unlock the extrom have more than once screwed up the extroms of the people using them. afaik, the cited versions allow you to see the extrom, fiddle with it, and once you reboot the machine your extrom is screwed up, or rather not loading on reset any more.
there are numerous cases of users cited on this forum who experienced so!

The ExtROM unlocker by Buzz for the Universal (see Universal topics) works on both my Universal and Artemis.
After unlocking you need to unhide the ExtROM, by doing the following in the register:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
Bootphase=dword:2
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
MountHidden=dword:0
JayRay's solution not working for me
JayRay,
I tried your suggestion but the external rom remains unlocked. As usual, to start with it looks like you can write files to external rom but after a soft reset they are all gone.
Let me know if you manage to have a stable unlocked rom.
Same here (T-mob NL). The utility from Buzz doesn't give a popup message either, does it run on the artemis properly anyway?

Weird...
The ExtROM became visible by applying the reg tweaks I mentioned before, and I used the Uni ExtROM unlocker to try to unlock it.
The popup message that appeared on my Uni didn't come on the Artemis, but after clicking on the file I just went through a soft reset.
That was all. The ExtROM was really unlocked and still visible.... and seems to stay that way.
A good way to test if it's really unlocked is to try and install a program (cab) into the extrom. If you can install it and the program works then you are clearly unlocked. Have you done this?
Thanx

And soft-reset after you copied the cab!.. For me, with each "hack", i can see and acces the Extrom, but after a soft reset everything is reverted..

Yes, unlocked is unlocked.
I have WorldMate Pro, PocketXpdf, psShutXP and TCPMP installed in the ExtRom, as well as a few MP3 ringtones.

Hi JayRayMee
Some Noob questions
After you unlock and unhide the EXTRom, how did you add the programs that you like. Is it just copying the cab files onto the EXTRom? How do you remove programs that you dont like? And is there a way to hide it again after you add up your programs?
Cheers

The ExtROM, once unlocked, just behaves like any other SD card storage.
By reversing the reg tweaks as mentioned before, you can hide the ExtROM again.
