Hi, i unlock athena with olipro unlocker. It give me no error, but i still cant acces to extrom. I can only unhide it and copy files, but after reset it is same. I cant install some roms, because it starts extroms cabs and in come cases it goes to restart looping. I treid find some unlock tool, but only i find was athena_ext_rom_unlock.rar file and link wasnt work. Can anyone has this file? Or plain extrom? I would like to flash irus vanilla SPL1.2 - PP 0MB, but due to extrom i cant.

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

where I can find the Unlocker ExtRom Tool for JAM
To unlock the extrom, just hard reset, do the alignment stuff and after that do a soft reset. It is unlocked.
You can't unlock ext-rom
yzord's way you will unhide your ext-rom, can be done without a hard-reset with a shortcut to the hidden file \windows\loadvdisk as well. Make the shortcut via your PC&Act.Sync.
When you want to use the storage from the ext-rom you have to go for BIG Storage, this will enlarge the standard storage folder to 27Mb.
How to's can be found in the forum.
Cheers, M
I would unlock (unhide, clean, install, re-hide) my ExtRom but I haven't found a procedure for Prophet.
Could I use any other PPC procedure/soft or is it different ?
Any hint where to search ?
Thanks
BUMP, please!
Tried this?
I have read here and at other sites such as buzzdev that the wizard unlocker works. It works "sort-of" for me. I don't know what I did before, but I added a ringtones folder long time ago, and I'm now unable to delete it. After a soft reset, it comes back.
You can try it. Others have had success
Does anyone know how to copy a file out of the device's ROM? I know this is possible with the ext rom. Is there some utility or trick to unlock the ROM to allow read access of these protected files?
Not that I know of, Im not posotive but even the latest ext_rom unlocker corrupted my ext_rom on the new faria 3.0.0.0 12mg pagepool rom, when some app tried to write to it...
I thought that was the problem that was fixed by the new rom unlocker, i thought i deleted the older one but may have switched them by mistake, im not 100% posotive, So I doubt this would be advisable, as you could easily corrupt it also(unless you like hard resets)
try reading up on rom cooking, it should show you how to break the rom down to its cabs, you'd just need a copy of the rom thats on your handheld.
<gotta change that sig>
bump
anyone have an answer?
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.
@all,
how about just doing it the way I stated here? :

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.
