We already have an ExtROM unhider, what we need is an ExtROM unlocker.
Can someone please develop this
Enables the Ext Rom visible
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Exit and Reboot after changes and ur done
it lets u view it but i cant figure out how 2 make changes yet. its still locked.
I believe he stated he already had the extrom unhidden.... now he needs it unlocked....
I haven't been successful at unlocking the extrom either....
An unlocker does exist for the Titan...
Check this thread:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/external-rom-unlocker-unhider-get-it-here-t5845,highlight,extrom.html
as i said
as i said.... at this time there is no way to unlock the ext_rom on the titan. I'm sure it's possible, it's just a matter of time before it's figured out....
by the way, your ppcgeeks thread with the "unlocker" doesn't work. Try reading more than just the original post.
I believe Paul Hammons is working on one. He is finishing up the Dialer, then will be working on the unlocker. He said he is close to testing it
Mogul Extrom Junkware
/here's one possible work-around, You'll need one of the extrom unhiders (actually possibly not needed) and aegistry editor. There is an autorun file in the extrom, whose parameters are in config.txt (also in extrom). The autorun is called in:
HKLM\Comm\AutoRun
and the config file in:
HKLM\Comm\AutoRunCFG
If you just want to stop the whole extrom contents just delete the entry on the first item.
Or you could edit the config file to what you want, copy it to the windows folder, and then point the HKLM\Comm\AutoRunCFG to the new config file.
As always. hack at your own risk.

The extrom is only loaded after a hard reset though and a registry change will be erased at that point. There is also no way to create a custom rom yet for the Titan. So there is no way to have those entries set after a hard reset. The way to avoid extrom installs is to soft reset just before they load after a hard reset. There are other advantages to an unlocker however.

That's what I did when I did my last hard reset last weekend. Now I don't have all the Sprint junk on my phone.
How much extra space can you unlock? (when someone figures out how to unlock it anyway)
It should be a decent amount but I don't load anything on internal memory, I have a 2GB SD card. I'm waiting for a ROM cooker but not until after Sprint releases the EV-DO A upgrade.

the extended rom is only 8mb in available size anyways. The current items in the extrom take up a around 1.5 mb anyways. It's not a "decent" amount like the previous member stated.....
"The previous poster" thinks that 8MB is a decent amount.
Did anyone get the unlocker for the HTC 6800 Extended ROM.......
The titan.cab wrks great on the unhidder but i still cant modify anything.

Since getting my XDAII a few days ago, I've been impressed with the number of customisations possible, and have managed to acheive a number of different tasks, however, I have as yet to cook my own ExtROM for it.
This is something I would very much like to do, and I have acquired an ms_.nbf from the end of the line update that O2 provides from their website.
I have all the necessary tools to do it, and I know exactly how to, but I do not know which packages I need to keep in order to have a PDA with fully functioning bluetooth, blackberry and ad nauseum. alternately, as I'm sure that there is probably an ExtROM with all the bare essentials in it (and probably newer version essentials too) so if someone could point me to one, or the other I'd be very grateful, and whatever it is, I am definitely interested in dumping O2Active.
you dont need to mess with nbf files to cook an extented rom
you can just use the tool to unhide and unlock the extented rom from the xda and remove the cab files you dont want and
add the ones you want and change the config.txt file to include the new stuff and exclude the stuff you removed
then you just lock and hide the rom and hardreset
and the rest if history
I know, but someone else wants a custom ROM, and they're too far away for me to get hold of their PDA to do it that way.
all I need to know now is what .CAB files I need to include to have everything functioning, then I'll bung on extras
I guess this is a trial and error jobby then.
now something I've wondered that should be simple to answer;
when flashing on an ExtROM, is it possible to flash ONLY the ExtROM, or is it mandatory to flash the OS and radio as well, on pain of trashing the PDA and reducing it to only the bootloader.
well, through trial and error I've got it all sorted, thanks to everyone for their help... oh, wait, I didn't get any help, but many thanks to Rudegar.
Sure, you don't owe me anything, but if a forum's been setup for the purpose of giving help, it sure would have been nice to have received some rather than just getting ignored because I haven't made enough posts yet to join whatever religious PDA sect you happen to run exclusively to help eachother.
rant over, I've made my point, perhaps something positive can come of it?
Just yesterday I created my first "EXTENDED ROM" and installed it by myself for my friends XDA II, all you need is EDIT2003 program thats on the wiki somewhere. Then you can open the ms_.nbf, and edit the splash images and the files it will install on the hard reset, then just install it to the phone using the rom upgrade procedure but put the extended rom in and delete the nk.nbf and the radio_.nbf tah dah!
i couldnt find this covered in the wiki, or maybe i misread or overlooked.. After you unlock and unhide the ext rom on 1.04 can you write to it and not corrupt it? coming from the wizard this was a very very bad thing to do, but seems like from what i have read that i can actually write to this one, just need confirmation?
and yes i already know how edit the txt file, etc...
not a stupid question shogunmark. neither have i read about that in the wiki but there are threads talking about that.
i myself have unlocked and mounted the ext rom using fit4cat and have removed all files in it after backing them up to the storage card. i now have number of apps installed on it, enjoying the additional 10M space, and it's working fine without any issues. i've been using it like that almost for a month now but nothing is corrupted.
in addition, i was doing the same with my universal dopod 900 and have installed number of apps and skin/icon files to the ext rom.
ok cool, on the wizard that would corrupt your ext rom... mainly cause you couldnt unlock it but could write to it... aside from installing apps, what about adding cabs to install with the initial 3second customization..
like for example..
lets say i unlock/unhide the ext rom
i add cab file 123.cab
then edit the txt file with CAB: \Extended_ROM\123.cab
then lock the ext rom back up.. now when i hard reset would it install the cab file???
if that works on the hermes then i am in love.. it was a pain on the wizard, had to create a new image then flash it to the phone, etc.. PAIN IN THE A$$

unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. what i heard is that the cab file to run with autorun and config.txt needs the htc signature. if you can get it from htc you may... still pain in the b$$
well what you may actually need is a cab to disable the security to allow non-certified apps to install.. i know on the other ext roms thats a must or else the other cabs wont install.. was usually the first thing i installed on my cooked wizard roms.. i dunno, i havent dove into this yet, and dont know if i will get time tonight

sure thing, i just copied everything over.. will hard reset on my way to bed and post my results when i wake up...
so here is what i have determined.. my test so far has failed... however i can say that unlocking the ext rom, making changes on the config.txt, then locking it and doing hard reset does work (which makes me very excited!) however for some reason the signed remove security cab doesnt seem to want to install without user input.. hmmmm there has to be a way..
shogunmark: I looked into this some time ago and couldn't find a solution. Hermes only allows to install signed cabs, and the signed cabs used on wizard and universal to disable security do not work on the hermes. If you look at it more deeply and find a solution let me know

thanks for the insight... lets start with this question.. what is different in signed security cabs between the wizard and the hermes.. what makes them different that they wouldnt run... they should in theory be ok when signed, something has to make them different
it should be either one of this (or both):
1. the certificate used to sign the wizard / universal disable-security cab is not installed on hermes
2. the method used to dissable security on hermes is different from wizard / universal devices
Should not be very difficult to figure out. I have no time now, but can probably have a look at it later this week.

#1 sounds more feasable than #2 and here is my reasoning behind it..
#2 when i installed the disable security cab from the wizard i was able to run cabs and programs that werent signed without notification, so the process sounds similiar, i just havent broken the cab yet and looked at it to compare processes and reg edits used when disabling, i will try to break it down tonight

ehehe.
have you tried the n ew enable rapi from machinegod?
i think it has the anser to your problem.
I've hard-reset a couple of times lately (to recover from a crazy spree of playing with registry files/checking out freeware) and a reset or two ago, as I opened the Extended_Rom folder with Total Commander to run the MMS cab, I realised a bunch of the files I usually see there are missing.
Normally I see all the files listed in the config file (all operator customisations/everything beginning with 'Signed_') in the extended rom, but now I only have the ones you can see in the first screenshot. I didn't have the software installed (soft reset before it started) but the cab files were usually there any way.
I did play about with trying to remove a few of them (Signed_DisableBeam for one) but I didn't think I'd been successful & I didn't try and delete them all, so... I'm confused! I've hard-reset since then and they haven't come back.
Does anyone know what happened/what it sounds like?
&also (although I'm guessing the answer is 'no' -- it can't be that easy ) can I edit/overwrite the config file with one of my own, leaving out the O2 customisation?
(Phone info is in my sig, in case you need it.)
Thanks!
I think you may find that they are still there but hidden and will not be installed. Try reflashing your extended rom or create your own with Faria's turorial found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269583

Riptos
my theory is that extended_rom allows edition (via WindowsMobile OS) but does a checksum at boot. as a protection it blanks itself whenever the checksums fail.
As a solution I advise a reflash of that area alone (via edited RUU)
cheers
Hi,
I have a question about this subject.
I seem to be having this same problem (curiousity kills sometimes)
However after many attempts at reflashing my device the ext rom never showed again and completley disappeared. many hard resets have failed. Its not something I'm really all to worried about, it's just I find it odd that no ext roms from any installations will work at all.
Could it be because it's a tmo mda by chance or that is a G4?
I've tried every rom under the sun so to speak.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
ipl/spl: 2.17.0001
CID unlocked
well, you DO have a G4 device but since G4 have DOC write protection enabled and can't downgrade to ROMs bellow 1.06 i don't think that using pdocwrite would help here (i've used it before in mt G3 to solve such issue)
Ok gang i have been lurking around for a while and im finally deciding to upgrade my phone. for my short background, i have done this on my old magician (once) and a friends t-mobile magician (once) as well, but now i want all the new gadgets and speed for my hermes. for the record i am currently a Cingular/ATT customer living in Orlando, FL where there is great 3G coverage.
here is what i have:
herm100
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
ROM version 1.34.502.1
ROM date 09/21/06
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version 32.53.70.18.01H (i am not sure what this one means though...)
here is what i am planning to do (in the exact order of which i will run them so if my order isnt right please tell me):
HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
Hard-SPL-V7.rar package
HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar (unless anyone thinks the 46 or 47 version would be better for ATT in my area)
Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v2.0_ATT.rar
CVSD_1.2_061226.rar
HomePlugIn_1.6.0.0.rar
vp3G_v2.0_CommManager.rar *edit* (yes i know the comm manager must be closed for this one too) *edit*
vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.rar
XM_Radio.rar (may install this later)
MobiTV .rar (may install this later)
TCPMP_v0.72RC1.exe
ac3.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
flac.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
ffmpeg.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
vorbislq.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
and that should be it i hope!!!! also, i think i remember needing a codec to play xvids through tcpmp but i cannot find anything that i have archived on my computer... so if anyone has that please let me know.
if there are any other precautionary measures that i can take PLEASE let me know. i 'somewhat' understand how the hardspl works, is that the only protection i have? should i clear up my phones memory? i doubt there is anything like a 'scandisk' or anything for the type of memory the phone uses but i just want to be 1000000% sure that this flash will be successful thats all. thanks guys up front for a great community and any help is GREATLY appreciated.

No do the unlocker first...it loads HardSPL (1.40.oli) onto the device....it will downgrade the SPL if you run it second.
Once that is done...load HardSPLv7 onto it.
Then follow the list you said.
great!! i just wanted to verify that my particular build (i know there are herm100, 200 and 300 now) would fit the bill.
few more quick q's...
if i ever wish to, can this phone be put back to factory settings and be completely untraceable, or am i making permanent changes to the spl?
also as far as i am aware, overclocking is not available (hopefully i can use the word 'yet' here ) for my device is this correct?
lastly- without outlook (on my computer), is there any way to back up my contacts. not just the sim card, i mean email addresses and everything? i am sure there are some encrypted files somewhere on the device that i can just manually copy and paste when i am done.
and after that, ill be flashing it all over and post the results.. and thanks both of you for the quick responses!!! i will do the unlocker first, thanks for deterring me from that hiccup

OK.....i will answer these qs but you do need to read the wiki so you DEFINATLY understand the different aspects of the hermes...
The device can be downgraded to normal (like factory settings)....see the guides in my sig for more info.
Overclocking....dont even bother...the restriction is in the ROM....later ROMs use the cpu much better.
If you want to backup contacts etc...either use PIMBackup (search this forum for it) or get an exchange account which will sync contacts/emails/tasks etc..
the IPL is still 1.01, can this be upgraded or does it not make a difference?

You need to install ALL the latest .net framework packages from Microsoft on your PC, the file is meant to run on your pc NOT your hermes.
you guys are the best and so is this site!!!
last question...
i downloaded the 'vp3G's WM6 v2.0' ROM and added the patch for 'vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.cab ' but i still cannot watch videos on youtube or any site of the likes? the page gives me an error saying 'Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.'
i cannot find java or macromedia that works on windows mobile... what can i use??? i am finding some stuff on javaME but nothing i can comprehend or download...
lol, when I tried to do the Unlocker first it temp-bricked my phone.. I had to reflash old rom, then run hardspl then the unlocker in that order.
Use google and search for 'Flash Player for Pocket PC'
it will give you the link to Adobe Flash Player
I allreyd flashed a lot and did use a soft spl, but I do not find a proper
explanation what it is.
So, i Think it is the Bootloader ?
Can anyone tell me what a soft and a hard SPL is and does ?
For what do I need it ?
I just got my new Touch Pro bought in UK and now it is here in Germany and I want a german ROM on it as soon as it is available.

Yep your right on that assumption sir The bootloader does alot of the low level handling of the startup process when you power on the device aswell as handling the process when you flash anything to the device...im sure its far more technical than that but thats a starter explanation Essentially you NEED a bootloader for the device to work at all, the case with many of the HTC devices...other devices are different most likely.
Soft SPL: (normally referred to as SSPL) IS loaded into RAM and allows you to perform some of the operations the standard bootloader would do, naturally with some extra functionality (explained later)
HardSPL: Same sort of thing except it is flashed to the device permenantly, so it replaces the HTC bootloader in your devices flash memory.
Both of these tend to safeguard against corrupting the device by having some fancy workarounds and updates to the processes built into the HTC SPL, and the best part is that they allow you to flash ANY ROM you wish therefor allowing us to use Cooked ROMs and various updates like radio updates and etc...frees the device up quite superbly.

Perhaps some mebers feel like adding a general HardSPL page to the wiki for FAQs like this to be answered better than "Search the forum.." since we know its not that good for finding anything.
The Wiki is there for everyone to use and edit so, learn and pass it on
Just a quick question, does any of this interfere with HTC released updated ROMs? Like, when they release a new version on their site, does having HardSPL prevent you from updating?
Hello !
Thank you for your advise.
One more question:
Should I install Hard or Soft SPL ?
I want to try out many ROMS - I think Hard is better, what do you mean ?
Thank you for your help
By the way:
I am a kind of technican - working in IT for nearly 18 years starting fron Novell, Banyan Vines and DOS up to Windows Vista. Also I am a kind of apple Guru, thats why I have certainly an iPhone 2G and 3G.
For business I use HTC devices sind the first MDA. But I lost track a little sind iPhone.
As I am a technic nerc I sstarted with th the Diamond touch again and I liked the device but i swapped this week to the touch pro because of the keyboard, SD Slot an flash light. I love this device.
By the way I also have the new Samsung Omnia 900 here and an unfun Nokia E71 ( I hate this old symbian - looks like last centuty )
So good night and thank you

you can only install hardspl. the job of soft spl is to install hardspl.
do not ever try any of the following:
- with SSPL, do not flash anything other than the included SPL NBH files. as extra protection the diamond and raphael SSPL's require htchacker sign (except the version jocky edited) and will reject anything that's not an SPL.
- and do not ever try to flash SSPL as an NBH, especially if it is a diamond or raphael.
Im sorry to disagree with your "don't tell me to use the Wiki".
But this is a fairly comprehensive answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? straight out the wiki.

There are several things.
UC is short for User Customisation; it is in all the Kaiser ROM's nowadays. l3v5y's Raph ROMs also have it.
Links: l3v5y's ROMs & Main UC Thread.
I use UC to install programs, Provisioning XML (as part of UC) to change registry settings, my xcopyce application to copy folders and active sync to copy contacts, calender etc.

Ok, thanks. Seems very complicated. Having to write XML files and such.
when running RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe, it says all information will be lost on my device. Are you sure i dont lose everything when installing Hard-SPL?

I can't say. I haven't done it, what says you will lose all the info, the RUU or the thread? If it's the RUU, then you should be OK, it's probably the standard message that the proper RUU (used for carrier ROM upgrades) has.
UC is good, takes maybe an hour or two to get setup, but once done, you don't have to do it again and it makes flashing so much fun. I started with just installing CAB's and Copying files, then went onto ProvXML for my registry settings next. The latest version of Schap's Advanced Config (3.0) can export tweaks into a Prov XML file for you. It is worth it if you flash your ROM as often as I do.
Dave
I do love this kind of stuff. Any new gadget i get, i like to do this kinda stuff with it. But its a little overwhelming in this case .
So, using UC, i can set it up so that my settings, such as email accounts, wifi networks + passes, notify settings, etc, as well as all the programs are restored after a ROM flash?
To do this i have to manually go through my registry to find the entries for each of these settings though? No way to just extract my current unflashed devices settings to a file that the new ROMs then use? That would be nice

We are getting a little off topic of the OP now but...
Any tweaks done with schaps Advanced Config can be easiler exported using a "export" menu option.
If you export your registry after flashing, and again after you have all your settings setup right, you can Diff then using a Diff Program and copy the changes into your ProvXML file. Most PPC Regedit programs can export.
Any more on UC, I'd have a read of the UC thread and ask any questions in there. Myself and l3v5y keep and eye on it most of the time and should be able to help fairly quickly.

Hello
So my Threat became quite interesting.
One last question foe me.
What File should I download to HARD SPL my Touch Pro.
Is there a file which includes all ? I mean I do not have to modify files inside the cabinet or so ?
Is there a fast link ?
Thank you for all the help - now lets start using the Touch - weekend is near

Is it possible to use those backup softwares? Like Spb Backup for example that say "ROM Upgrade Mode — now it's possible to restore data after the ROM upgrade"? Instead of UC and such?
there is a IPL initial program loader (sort of bios)
a SPL secondary program loader (kinda like the ntloader)
and there is a service mode (3 color screen) (the flashprog)
then we have a RUU remote unit upgrader
mft masterfile table
mbr master boot record
and some other shizzle
the device switches the output of the internal usb when device is in 3 colorscreen to a service mode which allows it to overwrite the internal flashdrive .. pretty neat as what it actually does is switching to an internal flashprogrammer which programs the internal flashdrive. this is the same process as is used for your pc at home to update the bios.
the CID celloperator identification code (used for blocking certain rom upgrades)
enjoy..
Soft SPL quesiton
I have a SPV M700 and it's unlocked. I want to install Schaps rom. I have the folowing SPL version 1.07.000. I have't managed to install hard spl. Can I use soft spl to flash it? Can I permanently brake it?
