Unlocking/Unhidding the extended_rom for the Mogul ??? - Mogul, XV6800 General

Ok...I have tried several different cab file from every site...PPCGeeks, PDAphone...I have not yet found the file that will unlock and unhide the extended rom for the HTC 6800. Has anyone been able to do this yet. PLEASE HELP !!!!

You can use a RegEditor to unhide the ExtROM... but IIRC no one has unlocked the ExtrROM to edit it...
\\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV\
change MountHidden=0, exit the RegEditor then Soft Reset

thank you to show us how2 do that. ;-)

I did the steps using PHM RegEdit.
Then navigate to the location:
\\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \
then change the value (default at 1) to 0.
I then did a Soft Reset -- but no joy. I don't see the drive. Thoughts?

I'm a COMPLETE newbie- but i think (from reading so far) you need to wait at least a minute for any reg changes to be committed before you soft reset.
Did you wait that minute?

Hmm -- well originally I sure didn't. However, I did the hack again and then waited.
And now we have JOY!! Thanks.

What can this extended ROM offer us?

Nothing until it is unlocked and we are able to write to it. Then it will offer a few more megs of ram to install apps tr you could set up your own apps you use to start like the Sprint customizations do.

Is there still an extended ROM with WM05?

Just got my device back from "the shop" with a new MB as it had the stuck in bootloader problem. Unless I'm missing something, with WM2005 there's no extended ROM, or, as it used to be called "storage".
Is it that no one has figured out how to unlock the extended ROM yet, or is there no longer such a space in the physical ROM?

Yeah, I know about that thread, which was started months ago back when WM2003 was the ppc OS, which did have a unlockable extended ROM. There are only two posts at the end of the thread about unlocking the extended ROM with WM2005. Neither of them confirms anything.
That's why I made a new thread, because there isn't an unlocker for WM2005 yet PReDiToR and I wanted to find out if anyone was working on it.

The Universal never ran on anything but WM5. It was marketed as the first WM5 device available.

By "Extended ROM" and "unlocker" do you mean what I think you mean? The 10MB partition that holds operator .CABs that are loaded after a hard reset? And you want to take away the write protect, make it visible and use it as storage?
If we are talking at cross purposes, please let me know.

My mistake, the Uni always only had WM05. You're right.
Re-read the extended ROM unlocker thread. Got into extended_ROM with Total Commander. Moved all the cab files out of ext_ROM. So, that can still be done in ROM version 1.30.76.
But, I haven't figured out yet how to "see" the extended ROM. In prior versions of the ROM you could see the separate 10MB partition using the memory utility. Haven't been able to do that yet.
You're welcome.
It's a doddle, two files to run, a little registry edit and a reboot.
I called mine "Storage" and after compressing the files I have, this is what it looks like:
Sorry for the mix-up, PReDiToR. The methods in the ext_ROM thread still work for ROM version 1.30.76 to unlock the ext_ROM. (See my edited post above.) I've gotten into the ext_ROM and moved all the cab files out, but I can't "see" this area to use it, though I can see it as empty in Total Commander.
Maybe it's that I need to rename it, but I thought the utility I got from BuzzDev.net renamed it "extended_ROM". Going to fiddle around with it more.
the utility only makes it writable. you still need to edit the registry
The ROM version doesn't have any effect on it. The factory partitions the DOC, we're not altering that setup (yet). If you reflash your device the ExtROM data goes back into the ExtROM and it is all locked up again in the new OS that you installed.
To use this 10MB You need to do three things, and one optional step:
Run Buzz's unlocker.
Make it load in the right boot phase (Reg Edit).
Make it mount as visible (Reg Edit).
Change the name if you want (Reg Edit).
The unlocker is on page 1 of that thread, the registry edits are on page two.
Once you have done those things, do a soft reset (using psShutXP preferably, or wait 5 minutes before pressing the reset pin).

It had been so long since I did this before, didn't remember having to do all of those steps.
Got it up and running now with the extra 10 MB of space in extended_ROM. Had to use this version of the registry key edit:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerAutoLoadTRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"=" Drivers/BuiltIn/TrueFFS1"
Thanks for the help!
If you do the other registry change - MountHidden = 0 - You will see it as another storage card in your file explorer, and changing the name to something else is helpful.
Once you have done these two things the option to install things to the 10MB comes up when you run .CABs.
No problem.

Yeah, uninstalled a few things from program memory and installed them in extended_ROM. Had done that before the JJ went down for repair - glad to get an extra few megs of program mem back and have extended_ROM space to spare.

Had already done the other registry edit below, but am not able to change the name from extended_ROM2. Not a problem, but a little annoying.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
Try this, which is straight from my Uni:
Code:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
DefaultFileSystem = FATFS
Folder = Storage
MountHidden = 0x0 (0)
Name =
PartitionDriver =
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
BootPhase = 0x2 (2)
DriverPath = Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1
LoadFlags = 0x1 (1)
Order = 0x1 (1)
This should have it loading at the right time and you can change the name from "Storage" to whatever you want, assuming you haven't changed any of the other DOC settings.
I know when I was playing with the "ShadowROM" (TrueFFS2) I managed to get it in the wrong bootphase and it came up Storage2. I think Buzz posted something about that in another thread.
I wouldn't live with it having the wrong name, I have to get it absolutely right. I spent ages tonight trying to get the WADesktop \Themes folder into \Storage which caused all sorts of problems and registry edits.
My device, my way.
edit: missed a line of code.

Ok, that registry change got the name of extended_ROM area changed to "storage". Thanks much!!
[Off track, but ... boy, you're right about WADesktop being a pain with which to work. When I changed the name of the extended_ROM to storage, had to change a line in quite a few dock and other files. WAD was much easier to work with when everything you made for your "your way" desktop was contained in the file default.skin. Now, to see or change stuff on your WAD desktop, you have to open up and change a ton of little files. Still, WAD is great stuff. Without it, the desktop is painfully restrictive and way too boring.]
I'm not tackling putting the WAD themes folder into storage. Getting the main WAD files and the WA2 files into storage frees up enough space - as much as my patience can handle.
I'm impressed that you did it, though!

Hmm ... looks like if you use it, it isn't shadowing the storage memory anymore and on a soft reset it hard resets back to mimic the storage memory. It's kind of like a RAID 1, but not exactly.
Maybe someone will figure out a way to not have it tied to the storage memory any longer and make it usable as an extra storage area.
However, I think it was intended as a backup area. A better hack might be this - finding find a way to use it as a backup for the OS + installed software, with a way to take an image of what's installed on demand. Then, if something gets messed up and you need to restore, you could restore the image you took.

HIDE / SHOW ExtROM on HTC TyTN (Registry Tweak)

Hide/Show Hidden ROM (at least works on my TyTN - German ROM)
SHOWN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
HIDDEN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV] "Bootphase"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV] "MountHidden"=dword:00000001
For me this was the default:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
So, I only had to change this from 1 to 0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
Now I can see the extended rom, my device is an HTC TyTN WWE, I will post the ExtROM to FTP in a while.
I also have updated the wiki page with your hack:

Now we still need 2 very important Registry Hacks (or missing links to get them work):

2. A hack for invoking the EngineeringTest Mode
I've been unable so far to get that working on the Hermes platform. Keep trying.

Heh, youre busy one.
I added a registry tweak to change the titlebar clock to an annalog one, if someone is interested.
Hopefully we can keep the wiki growing and useful.
My default setup was also:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV] "MountHidden"=dword:00000001
So I just changed to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000
and did a soft reset. The extended rom then appeared but it was still write protected. How do I get rid of the write protection?
LJ
Use the cab file in the wiki, it unlocks and unhides ExtROM.
After using the cab fille and/or making the tweaks myself, and the are the same as described as above, the result is that I can see the ext. rom, but it is still write protected. I can't delete any file or write a file to the ext. rom. I've got a Tytn WWE. What is the problem, or better: what is the solution???
Should be wrtitable using this cab:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HERMES_MountExtROM.CAB
If it's not, then try to hard reset and then use the cab without messing with registry keys before.
Problem with Extended ROM
I have tried all the methods in the wiki and also all the reg. edit trick but I still can't see my extended ROM. When I run the cab to Mount Extended ROM it crashes my TyTN. Locks it up befor making it to the windows screen. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this or tell me where to look? I was going to mess around with bootloader but I am not that computer savy.
hard reset and install the unhider&unlcoker cab file. it should work after hard reset.
Have tried to Hard Reset my Taiwanese CHT9000 and only apply the HERMES_MountExtROM.CAB tweak, now can see the Extend ROM, but still cannot "unprotect" the ROM. Cannot make it writable. Any other methods? Like modifying the registry? Thanks a lot in advance!!

On my Vario 2, when I'm using 3G (and therefore, HSDPA) the [3G] icon is shown in the top bar (and when it connects a small connecting icon with the moving arrows and 3G in it is diplayed, next to the square 3G indicator) - when it drops back to GPRS, it just changes to [G].
Does yours not do this?

Unsure whether it works myself, as I've not tried it yet, but I'd put (a small amount of) money on it that it works
Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply!!
Unfortunately, my device is still un-protectable after following the whole process. And the registry settings I have checked are exactly the same as the described. The Extended_ROM directory is still write-protected. Couldn't add or delete files in it.
Maybe I am the unlucky one that couldn't change the extended ROM at all...
Since the digital signature security autentification for CABs in ExtROM is on by default, putting in any CAB file that is either not digitally signed, or loses its authenticity because it was modified will not be installed during the Customization phase after a hard reset.
Any ideas how to solve this problen on TyTN?
There was the soluton for the Universal devices wiht the Default_Signed_DisabledSecurity.CAB. This CAB has the right signature for Universal, but it dosn’t work on TyTN.
From this MSDN discussion about Windows Mobile 5 code signing,
"Looks like you won't have to sign the cab if wceload.exe isn't used to install it. Although if it is used to install the cab file you will need to sign it."

A possible gap? If someone could come up with a third party CAB installer that could be used during customisation, maybe it could bypass the official CAB installation procedure (and therefore the signed certificate verification) entirely? Just a thought.
For Universal this problem i think was decided here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33638&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150) with the help of Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB. But this CAB not work on my TyTN. I think it because of wrong digital sign.

In another thread I read (don't recall which one) that you need to exit (not minimize) the registry editor prior to the soft reset, otherwise the changes in the registry won't stick.
Maybe this helps?

Hi folks,
AFAIK in my opinion it is not necessary to close active applications instead of minimize, simply turn off the device and wait about 20 seconds before soft reset cause wm05 needs this time to flush the modify into the registry, or in alternative soft reset via a software instead stylus+hole. This is a known caratteristict of wm05 if you do a google search you'll find many threads about taht.
Hope this help, if I'm not wrong...

Many thanks - waiting about 20 seconds before soft reset worked fine. Now the extended ROM is visible. Still read only but i am optimistic.

Question about uninstalling trial software

I have been using a small utility to SHOWS MY PHONE NUMBER on the today screen AND SWITCH SIMS. The utility has a 15 day trial. This software was "modded" to work in WM5. The official version only works in 2003SE. While it works OK in WM5, there are many bugs. Unfortunately, the company no longer is working on this utility, so no WM5 compatibility.
What I did was install the utility. The 15 days counts down. After 15 days it stops working. Very normal.
Because I need this utility, I want to install and reinstall it. Here is what I tried to do:
1) I installed a clean ROM. Made a registry backup using SKTools right away.
2) Installed utility
3) When 15 days is up, I uninstall
4) Tried restore original registry using SKTools
5) Reinstall utility
Unfortunately, the utility is still expired. How can this be? Normally, a program puts "keys" in the registry to indicate status. If I restore the registry to before the utility was ever installed, all traces of the utility SHOULD BE gone. What else can the utility be reading that is not unstalled? Another registry somewhere? Am I missing something?
Please help because I do use this and would buy it if it was ever made to work with WM5 by the developer. Until then I have to find a work around.
Thanks for any help.

I don't think so, because if I flash a new ROM and install the software, it goes back to 15 days trial. I don't want to reflash my ROM every 15 days. So it must be reading the original install date from somewhere other than the registry. Any ideas where?

Sure you can - just keep track of what has been changed upon installation / first start. SKTracker is an excellent tool in this respect.

GWES test

This is an another GWES.
Installation:
1.Install certificate SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.cer
2.Copy GWES2.EXE to \windows\
3.Run registry editor and go to HKLM\init
4.Find parameter with gwes.exe string and change it to gwes2.exe.
5. flush registry
6. do soft reset
inform me what you see and what kind of bugs you have.
NOTE: a lot of programs isn't working, other working incorrectly.
Mouse
if you want to control mouse, run my mouse.exe.
It will show message box without text.
Minimize it. Use direction pad keys to move mouse around screen.
Use action key to left mouse click.
If you want to disable mouse, close message box.
Uninstallation
you can run registry editor and change value in HKLM\init back back to GWES.EXE.
If no, do a hard reset.
Be sure that you have backup - probably, you will need to do a hard reset.
Please test it!
Can you please explain for which devices and OS, is it for?
Thanks
yeah.
you must have point in making gwes,uh, something...
it is so close thing to core, that it may be useless for 99% users.
i am curious, why are you doing this?
Install something (what IS it anyway?) that's likely to need a hard reset? Not gonna happen!

Yes I read it. You still haven't said what it is, just that it's "based on Microsoft original stuffs" and that you might need to hard reset your device. If you want people to test your junk for you, you're going to have to provide a LOT more information than that.
i do "hard-reset" every now and then...
i did it again because of this testing gwes...
this is what i had after installing it (see the screenshot below), and i didn't get any "mouse" with the "mouse.exe"...
but the worst of all is that i still have no idea about what it is for....
