Hi all,
I would like to know in detail what the three options:
Enable KITL
Clean Registry Hive
Format Storage
do when I hard reset my Himalaya.
Adviced after upgrade are NO,YES,YES.
Can somebody explain, please ?
Thanks.
its a
No
YEs
Yes
KITL : Kernel Independant Transport Layer .... to learn more about this , please go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcedsn40/html/cgconKernelIndependentTransportLayer.asp
Clean Registry Hive : this option is to clean all the registry entries and put the default registry if you set to YES . If NO , registry keys you have adedd or modified are here after reboot
Format Storage : It's to format the internal storage (contactas , calendar ...) if you set to YES . If NO , any data are erased .
Thanks TofClock !
I do not get these options when I hard reset my Imate.. (As I have nothing in my extended rom now)..
I have realised that I would like the option to reset my data to defaults when I do a hard reset..
1. What is the name of the program does does the forementioned prompts ?
2. Where does that program come from, or where can it be found ?
after few days of playing around, then found a solution to WRITE to Ext-ROM which persists after soft-reset.
All praise and thanks are to God the Most High.
Here is the solution; Tested for prophet ROM2.15.13.27 -G4 but should work for over chipsets and even other handsets e.g Wizard
To Unhide Ext-ROM --- (this is already known by most- but include for completeness)
Need following registry changes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"Bootphase"=dword:2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"MountHidden"=dword:0
To Rename EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"Folder"=string:Storage
--- can call it anything you like instead of "Storage"
To Unlock the EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"SoftwareWriteProtect" =Dword:0
THIS key is the mainchange that will enable write protect, but it keeps reverting after softreset. To get around this, will need to change the following also.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:0
Then Softreset.
Now should be able to write and install to Ext-ROM/Storage
If any problem can return the last key to original value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:1
-----not sure what this key does??
then soft reset again.
this worked for me . try at own risk!!
Enjoy
All praise and thanks are to God the Most High

Does that mean that i can install a dutch rom, by downgrading my G4 device.
Hopefully it does.

I instaled the same ROM so abit strange you don't have writeprotect key. Possible options maybe perform backup and hard reset and then recheck for the latter key....Or....just make the keys.
I think I added this key also myself but not 100% sure.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"MountHidden"=dword:0
As for writeprotect key then try adding. if the dword remain at 0 after soft reset then should work. if not try changing the Dword for AutoDPDMode form 1 to 0, aswell as the softwarewriteprotect key as below
To Unlock the EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"SoftwareWriteProtect" =Dword:0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:0
hopefully should work.

sorry to hear it doesn't work on Wizard.
If it was well known then maybe some-one should add it to the WIKI page. As several have asked how on a few threads with no replies both here and BUZZdev.net.

doesnt work on my Jamin with the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe rom
I had to use buzz's unlock tool to let me write to my extended rom.
I have upgraded to the PDAMobiz 16MB ROM. Unhiding the extrom via the registry entries work. But unlocking it doesn't.
I too do not have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1 key. So, I manually created it with the entries as posted, but it didn't work. (yes I did a soft reset after shutting down for 30s or so).
I then proceeded to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS1 and change the "AutoDPDMode" to 0, and SoftwareWriteProtect to 0. There are 3 such keys: TrueFFS, TrueFFS1 & TrueFFS2. I changed all 3.
Unfortunately, it still didn't work...
But Buzz's unlocker prog worked. It didn't before when I was using the official Dopod ROM.
To every body !
I've update my rom to RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. when finished, the extended rom can't use. Change reg not work. So when i lock up at the rom "AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28" i find there're 2 files : extunlock.exe and UnlockExtRom.cab. Run 2 files and finally i can use extended rom with no restrict.
My device is O2 Neo. Hope this usefull for some one
Would you please be so kind and upload these two files to the ftp? I'd like to try if it works with the last original QTEK-ROM.
Thank you
hi all.
've been reading some very interesting things in the forum the last few days.
i think you re great.
As far as:
Show extended ROM: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:0
Hide extended ROM:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:1
they work ok for me with 2.9.7.24 wwe ROM
2.9.7.8009 extROM
(IPL&SPL 2.09.0001)
after soft reset i can see Extended_ROM2 on my file explorer.
when i check the file properties with resco file explorer all files inside extended_rom folder are read only(which can be changed of course).
so i can easily modify the cab files inside the extended rom along with config.txt entries.
last, changing all files to read only, reverting the registry keys to hide ext_rom
and hard reset.

You can load "AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28.exe", then right click to this file, select "extract to ..." to get these files hope this work on your !!
Great, it works again! Thank you for your help.
could you please to upload just two files ( extunlock.exe and UnlockExtRom.cab.) only, cause my connection is very slow for getting "complete packet rom".thx
Here you are!
Thaks bro, but still can't edit/delete my ext rom,
one more question, is this ROM can work with Simtolkit App?
Have tried the two files but I still can't install to ExtRom. It says ExtRom2 on my Dopod 818 Pro G3. Currently having more problems with syncing. Ay advise?

I found the following document about the Trueffs file system.
Download the following document http://www.mobilediskonchip.com/NR/....pdf|Installing_TrueFFS_for_Win_CE_Rev4.7.pdf
The AutoDPDMode parameter is described on page 12 as:
“AutoDPDMode”: This option enables Auto Deep Power-Down mode, which reduces the
average power consumption of DiskOnChip. Auto mode puts DiskOnChip in Deep Power-Down
mode automatically after each driver command, and takes DiskOnChip out of Deep
Power-Down mode automatically when the driver is called again. Using this mode disables the
option of booting from DiskOnChip via software reset, as the IPL cannot be accessed from Deep
Power-Down mode. In order to boot from a DiskOnChip device in Deep Power-Down mode, a
hardware reset or powering off is required. This registry entry has no effect on DiskOnChip
devices that do not support Deep Power-Down mode.

Looks to me that AutoDPDMode has nothing to do with the write protection of the Extended ROM...

Ok I downloaded the file for my XDAIIs to upgrade it from an early version of WM5 to the latest one.
All went ok and it upgraded the device so all my programs were still there and working.
So the problem is there are duplicate icons in the program list (powerpoint and word ect..) but more importantly everytime I install new software they dont get added into the program list, but they are in the remove programs list and in some cases the programs will run (SOTI Pocket Controller only)
So what have I done wrong if anything or how do I get round it.
Thanks
normaly when people do an rom update they do a
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
in the bootloader to get rid of registrys and data from the last rom
which can easy result in the issues you are facing
ok that seems fair enough... is there something I can do with the current install or will I need to upgrade again.
I have taken out the duplicate shortcuts that were in the programs list so its just a case of getting new programs to display....
Thanks
it's result is that of the old fasion hardreset
== everything back to whats in the rom
Ok just done it.... thanks for all your help
this is a xda2s and when I press the power button and press the reset button for upto 10 secs the device doesnt factory reset.... but I am sure it did before:
1) am I doing that right
2) how do I change the settings so it clears the reg ect... if I wanted to upgrade the device again.
Thanks
I've bought this device just now and it was in german. I've upgraded the rom with this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/18878892/UK_11200_131_11210_ship.exe
I followed every step in the guide. It works now, i mean it's in English and everything, but it thinks it's an i-mate! The bootscreen has a huge i-mate logo on it and all the customizations are gone! When it boots up it tries to load some, but they are obviously not for this device because they do not work.
HELP!!
Phones cant think
Its a customised version of Config that you hve loaded.
Just go to Start -> Programs -> uto Configuration and select a carrier that you use / select Default
It will install the new customised settings and your phone will reboot.
You're done!
Uhm i can't really find anything like that in Programs. :-s could it be hiding somewhere?
hard reset the device after backing up data.
"Auto Configuration" option will be there on first startup.
you can choose your carrier from there.
Having been trying to flash for couple weeks now and I can't get past the application unlock step. I need help please Wm5 is too outdated. I have a very virginy Sp5 nothing ever done to it and I just got it. I was reading some ancient forums dated 2006-05 and saw that i-mate released a ROM update and that was 2.5 333 ....something can remember but even that was newer than the rom currently loaded into this phone,so u have an idea of clean this phone is. Perhaps this is the problem. I am using Karhoe's guide and I am not sure if it works for such a virgin phone as mine, i keep getting this error(attached) plz help. Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, and all I had to do was do a hard reset (clear storage) on my phone and restore it to factory settings (of course backup all the data you want to keep first). It seems as if I junked up my phone with things.
I've had same prob , solved using this unlocker
Not sure how to do a hard reset but I'll fiddle around somemore but Thanks alot stesa and the craze.
Hard reset is the same thing as "Clear Storage" found in the menu items. Factory default..
if u fail to unlock application using unlock application try try this:
Download regeditSTG2 fro: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
-> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
-> change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128
-> change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101a": Dword = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101b": Dword = 1"
after this reset phone then supercid using lockwiz
