ext rom unlock does not work - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi,
I'm trying to unlock my xda 3 extended rom for days now . I managed to download the unlock tool from this site. Wasn't that easy because i was getting a 550 unable to change directory error every time.
Now I have the Extrom tools on my XDA 3 but when trying to unlock i get an error message saying unlockextrom (...) could not be found. please check...
file name, install path, liberys.. .. some thing like that.
what can i do now? I really would love to replace some cabs from my extrom.

Hi you pros,
thanks for trying. Browsing the forum I found this answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=229185
The solution to the problem is to run the extromunlocker -unlock with additionally -xda 3

Is there any tool to unlock the extended rom on XDA IIi?

Is there any tool to unlock the extended rom on XDA IIi? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike
I also would like this.
And mike, your picture of the XDA2s is the best modification i have ever seen for it
:lol: Thanks John
Trying to keep this thread alive, does anyone know of any tool yet.... that can unlock the XDA IIi EXTENDED ROM? If there is please post.
Thanks,
Mike
No bites yet. Come on any help out there. I need to unlock the XDA IIi extended rom.
same here and keeping this thread active... is there a tool (yet) for unlocking the xdaIIi extended rom?
Unhiding is no issue. Using ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.cab has no effect whatsoever.
@epicus:
how have you unhid the extrom? care to share?
for unhiding the extended rom, when I got the phone I explored what was installed and found a file called loadvdisk.exe inside the Windows rootdir. When I launched it I noticed there was a directory 'Extended ROM' suddenly visible, however I could do nothing with it. I could copy data from it, but could/can not put anything inside it. Kind of useless rather, unfinished. If I can 'load a v. disk' then where is the use of it??
Attached is the loadvdisk.exe, I found no keys for it in the registry, so if anyone wants a go at it, feel free, it's loaded by the basic WM2k3SE ROM.
As to a possible question if it works on a device other then an Alpine... dunno , try it.
The issue remains, how does the Extended rom get unlocked? The known registry flag for the ExtROM is set to zero.
Try this
Try http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe
If that doesn't unlock it, and gives a hardware io control
error, try using a binary editor on the file.
Look for ReIrRaH and replace it with eNiPlA
(Harrier and Alpine backward with alternating case).
Perhaps SuperDave would be kind enough to release
a version where the password is input at the keyboard...
Ehud
Thank's for your tools. It seems that will be near a solution but it's not unlock, because ;
First : TREFFS_DOC is now profile for Storage
Second : ExtRom is Profile VDIS and use VDISK.DLL and not TRUEFFS.DLL that does not exist
Third : Allocation memory is different than other version of QTEK.
And finaly, NOT USE THIS TOOLS THAT LOCKED My STORAGE, I'm HAPPY. I TRIED HARD RESET WITHOUT RESULT
!!!!
changing roms on xda2i
Does anyone know how to avoid country error code on the alpine when upgrading or switching roms? Does one follow the same procedure as that for the himalaya, or can I use the upgrade utility (with no id) that I used for the himalaya?
come on !!! i need too!! please engineers!
what do u think about this :
http://www.smartphone4u.de/xda3/grundlagen/extrom_unlocker.shtml
i tried but fail !!it can't not run!!
I need it too,please help.
I can not read/write my Storage after hard reset.
I don't understand for developer what is difficulty.
Today all owner of 2020i are locked to write in ExtRom and other (as mine) have also Storage locked in write.*
Pls Help us
Actually, there ARE tools to unlock XDA IIi, there are few doing unlock for XDA IIi on eBay, and this website: http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingHTCPocketPC_Instructions.htm also handles it. Its just that this kind of tools will not be easily released to us from the underground, other wise, who will they gain profit from?
Guess we have to either wait or pay if you are really in a hurry
Very interresting, but it's not a subject.
A specail forum about unlock already exist and don't confusion betwen unlock (SIM provider) and Unlock Extended ROM. Is this last subject for we ask help to develloper
Leonzhou, we're talking about unlocking the extended ROM, not about removing the SIM lock!
sorry guys, just ignore my stupid comments, just realise it's extrom lock not simlock
thanks anyway!
come on!!!

Thanks a lot.
Try using a rom that is for your device for all others will turn your phone into a paper wheight as you have noticed.
you need to download a rom that is from your carrier and start again.
Wiki
thanx but my problem that i can't connect my pda2k on the cardl!!!the sync can't find it
any one can help me - - there is no service center in france!!
Download a rom that is from your carrirer and your device, ( You say its a I-mate) you also say you are in france and I know of no frensh roms.
As you are stuck in bootloader, run the ship.exe as is, it should find the device.
Look nobody can help you if you tell us nothing. What do you mean by card. Have you read anything in wiki ?

We really need more info. This is like asking to a mechanic: My car is broken, can you replace the engine...
So: What PDA do you have, what ROM versions installed, what version did you try to install, etc. etc.
But more importantly, have you read wiki?
Follow the link in my sig...it's all there.
i tried to install o2 rom 1.31 and previously there was 1.06. bootloader is v 2.06. now when i switch it on it is in serial mode. i hav tried to install shiped roms but no one detects my pda on sysncronous. i hav tried to use mda III rom using sd card but it says section 3 upgrade not alowed. tried o2 himaliye nb1 file it says trying himaliya upgrade on blueangle not alowed. this means i need nb1 file of XDA IIs. thanks

GUUYYSS HEEEEELLLPPPPP

I've tried to upgrade my XDA 2s using PDA2k WWE 14000 176 11 CDL. I bought mine in Singapore. And using it in Indonesia.
First I just run the BaUpgradeUt and it says Device ID error. Then edit the RUU.conf. Run it again and still get Device ID error.
Second, I tried Using MaUpgradeUt_noID and it worked fine for the Radio but not for ROM and ExtROM. Then I put Radio.nbf and MS.nbf into different folder leaving only nk.nbf, EnterBL, RUU.conf, RUU.dll, GetDeviceData, MaUpgradeUt_noID in the upgrade folder. I try to run di MaUpgradeUt_noID and it stop when the progress bar reach 41%. It says ERROR 112: CE ROM UPDATE ERROR. Same thing with ExtROM.
Plz guys I need help.....
Also my bootloader is 2.07. Sorry I forgot to write it.
Any help would be appreciated guys......need urgent help here..plz

still not working. I cannot use GetDeviceId coz it's only stuck in bootloader 2.07. Could you give me another way to revive this dead xda2s.
thx b4.
Flash it with the First Method (Quick/Easy) as this does not need the info out of devicedata.
Hi adbradwell,
Since you bought your device from Singapore, why don't you use the official Asia Upgrade to 1.40, since it is out. Get the shipped full exe from here. At least you can be certain you would not get any device / country error. Just my two cents worth tho. Cheers ^^
Btw, if you are stuck in bootloader mode, just perform a hard/soft reset to get out of it.

Of course not my friend....the tool u have is just to unlock the EXT ROM....
Go there(click the link),u will find another itsme tool(when it comes to unlocking,it's always itsme....he's the best :wink: )..
READ and download http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=xdadev_all_unlock
RAGO :lol:
so that means you can unlock a xda that has a contract right, cause where i live if u get a phone with a contract on it u cant use another sim card in it, i want to get rid of that so i can???
No, this is a different story.
In my case the Extended ROM is locked and you have a SIMlock on your device. But I am sure you will find a solution in this Board.
8)
huh ?
The tool by itsme (The xda unlock all tool) will remove the lock that stops you from using a different network.
Ie ... Your phone is locked to O2 network UK, use the tool to unlock the phone so you can use an Orange network UK sim card instead.
ive tried the unlock for xda 11i, not had any luck gives error message, can any body help me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24704&d=1128641650
put that on your XDA and run it on the xda. will work fine.
erm.. i have just got hold of a alpine/2020i, but this program wont run on it.
edit....
the 1.6 version found at the wiki runs perfectly, but the 1.6.138 keeps saying "this is not a valid pocket pc aplication"
I have tried downloading the latest version of this tool xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6.exe when I run it on my O2 XDA 2i as described it comes up with an error, see error log.
When I read the error log it says:
simlock answer invalid simlock answer.
error getting current lock status
xdadev_all_unlock failed
ril ioct 0xc2: 00000000
ril ioct 0xc6: 00000000
I tryed resetting my XDA but the same thing happens.
Any ideas.
NB this is an 02 phone I had on contract until about six months ago, but I cancelled the contract. It hasn't been used as a phone since. I am keen to use it abroad with a foreign sim.
Of the two progs referenced in the itsme post i have had more luck with the earlier version. v1.6.38 failed to unlock two XDA IIi but he v1.5 was successful in both cases
Thanks 4 That

My Mates Had this PDA (O2 XDA IIi) for a few years now and gave it me the other month. In all that time, he didn't manage to unlock it. A friend I sat talking to the other day referred me to this site, and within 5 minutes of looking from the gogle link, I've managed to get it unlocked!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a mint piece of software! A definite must het for anyone who doesn't usually use O2 as their main network. (or any network for that matter! LOL!)
Thanks to ITSME!
This thread is a getting bit old but I'd like to add my thanks to all those (itsme, I think) that contributed to the xdadev all unlock and to reassure those that follow me that it is one of these things that just works!
I put the program on a SD card plugged it into my O2 XDAlli and ran it. Instant results no messing!
Thanks guys!

Flashing rom I get; ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID

I think you will know what to do, so please tell me... I'm flashing my o2 xda mini S and I have now run out of time, I used all my spare time today (2 hours) trying to flash the ROM with RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship but I get the error.
So what do I need to do - how to remove the vendor lock(?) and where to get the program that can do it, if there is one? And is the above ROM okay? I want to get rid of the stupid o2 programs and get into a clean version of Windows Mobile. And of course, the additional speed that hopefully comes with a new ROM is also appreciated
Please explain clearly, I have very little time nowadays to fiddle with these sort of problems
Thanks!
EDIT: Here is the ROM I have in there now: 1.5.4.2 and it's the o2 original ROM that came preinstalled with the phone... that's all I know.
-John
Unlock it first !
Download CID Unlock (search here on this site), then unlock it and then fell free to install Qtek rom.
BB
HTC Diamond "Invalid Vendor"
After many tries, on a phone that I knew was unlocked I was able to download the new update by simply turning off the firewall...My advice is try that first, and see if you can get the update on your phone.
CID Unlocking

To unlock the wizard you need to do three things.
1. Flash the button rom
2. Run Lokiwiz
3. Flash your original rom
Here is a rar archive with all the programs you need
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
password for file is scousemartin
extract it then flash the button rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe then run lokiwiz.bat
once it has told you that you have successfully cid unlocked it then you can flash your o2 rom or the one i have supplied in the rar archive, which i think, but cant exactly remember is the same rom you now have. After flashing the o2 rom you can flash any rom you want , as long as it is designed for the wizard,of course
heres a link to a how to for lokiwiz

Good luck
