[Solution] Unlocking Extended ROM on HTC Wizard! - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi.
Extended ROM is protected for write on some ROM's.
Soo... for unlock it..
is 1 reg-key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1]
"SoftwareWriteProtect"=dword:0
and for show it:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:0
and sometimes:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:2
They are in boot.rgu!
But is not all. Protection is still exists.
Extended ROM is protected for write by TrueFFS driver.
A modified TrueFFS driver is attached.

That method is mainly for ROMMakers and advanced users.
Requires ROM dump.
This feature is used in my beta ROM called "H3r5":

That's not true for every ROM! In my ROM I only had to change the reg-settings and everything worked fine. I never changed the driver!
Chefs should try reg-settings first and if it does not work you may try to change the driver.

Wow I don’t know how I missed this thread, but I guess ill add my two cents as well.
I have to agree with Ham3r on this subject.
I have played with many newer ROMs and I was never able to unlock the Extended ROM.
In my research all the ROMs I tried with a version number higher than 1.5.?.? failed to unlock write protection.
My solution was to take the TrueFFS.dll from an older XIP and use it, doing so allowed me to unlock the write protection on the Extended ROM.
If anyone has truly had success unlocking the Extended ROM on higher versions please let me know what the ROM version is.
Any Extended ROM can be unhidden however unlocking write protection is a different story.

I found that driver after year.
Old version (from old wizard roms) brick G4 device (device stay on first splash, after flash other rom stay on welcomehead).
In my ROM and here is version similar to 3.08 T-Mo (1.6.3.8?? i don't remember), but without extrom protection.

And I only had to change the reg-setting to unLOCK my ROM and it worked with G3 and G4. I know the differnts between unlocking and unhiding!

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be insulting.
Please list the ROM version you used.

Thank you

I have just installed that new WWE 'official' ROM on my G4 device.
(ROM_QTEK_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE)
I assume this ROM also uses that version? Will this one give any extra improvements when I use it? (any people who have experience with it already?).
And you say it's faster, is it because this one has a different pool size?
Hmm.. questions questions But I'm sure someone will know!
I also had the rom you mentioned installed prior to this lvsw edition, lvsw rom is much faster, it also has the stereo BT I think and the new commanager, I can't fault it (apart from not having a reliable 3.2 lvsw rom, but thats not around yet)
It really rocks this one, best for a couple of weeks, I don't need to look any further at the moment

Radio version ?

What does the Radio version of a ROM control? I noticed Dr. Gonzo's ROM has radio version 4.1.13.47_02-98-90, my vox has 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Does the Radio version control how well the telephone commmuncates with cellular towers?
So after flashing it, do you notice any changes?
Honestly, no I haven't noticed any differences. That is why I didn't want to flash a whole new ROM mjust to get the updated radio, I had a feeling that there would not be any noticeable improvements.
Just to clarify, my rom doesn't update radio version. I prefered leaving this to user choice.
But the screenshot shows another version because I myself decided to update it.
I can't say I've noticed any difference, but maybe it is a thing to try for people having problem with bad signal reception etc...
It also appears that radio versions have an influence on battery consumption : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358933
non official ROM updates
hi everyone, i'm new in the forum and struggling to understand how to "work" on my new htc vox (but in italy is known as S710).
dr. gonzo, i have a few questions for you.
1: i am a vodafone sim user but on my s710/vox it goes ROAMING ON VODAFONE. i spent long time contacting htc asking for explanations and with vodafon italy too but (obviously!?!) it's no ones problem. i have been surfing looking for the same trouble but it looks like only spanish people has this problem but... no ones has idea about solutions...
it is very frustrating as i am not able to connect to gprs/edge nor send/receive mms.
do you know anything about it??? tks
2: i found vox has been produced in 2 versions
A - gps chipset and software built in
B - gps chipset missing but software available.
now the question is... how can i discover which is my model? and how to enable (in case B) the internal GPS module?
3: i read instructions about installing a new rom (and the guava look really pretty) but... it's still not clear how i should do it... i saw some linux talking in the instructions and i am just at the beginning with linux so i don't feel confident in applying any change from linux...
is there a way to do it through windows xp pro?
thanks for all the answers...
After flashing my s710 with ARA rom my radio version is:

if i`m not mistaking the ARA it`s a full ROM (IPL, SPL, RADIO and OS)
Yes, the ARA ROM is complete, but neither the New Guava nor the ROMs you produce with the kitchen have a new Radio version.
@laura8sp:
1.Try to go to HTC E-Club (http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx), register if you haven't already. Then search for provider settings, maybe that helps!
2.No Vox has GPS built in, you are talking about Wing demo devices and Wing production devices.
3.Just read the instructions provided in the threads or ask there!
EDIT: I attached the correct file for you!
I'll post a file to just update your radio version in the thread about my rom for those interested.

Yes, the ARA ROM is complete, but neither the New Guava nor the ROMs you produce with the kitchen have a new Radio version.
hi and tks for answering...
i am already registered and already have the settings... but every provider is working with exception for vodafon...
3.Just read the instructions provided in the threads or ask there!>>>>>>>>> i did read instructions but i don't know "what is what"... so how can i understand the processes???? i am not used to these procedures so before doing some terrible damage....
thanks for answering again
I'll probably write a Wiki article about flashing in the next couple of days, I'll tell you when I am done!

You'll need to use an NVID ROM to do that...
Alternatively, Hard/SoftSPL your device to bypass CID checks.
i had tried the NVID ROM, flasing the rom (RUU_QtekS200_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe) and same error exist.
how can i apply Hard/SoftSPL your device to bypass CID checks?
If you have a ROM that will boot, you can use Hard/Soft SPL.
What brand is your device?
how can we aplly Hard/Soft SPL
My device Turkcell Qtek S200;
I have 6 same problem units,
[
If they all have that IPL/SPL (G4) you'll need to use the G4 HardSPL packages.
Try SIM unlocking the devices, then try HardSPL.

Use CeRegEditor to open user.hv and default.hv directly, you can export your dump from there.

You are right. The wm6.5 tsk file is skinned to look transparent so if we use other tsk there is no transparent.

People, it now obviously that its true 6.5, I think... But it's realy importend that Alexx~ said: we havn't that bloody tools for relocate modules themselves - old ones CAN'T. So can't port...
I suggest to catch, the rom's author wharever he is, and ask what tools he've used... Or maybe someone knows?
he used manual reallocation
sorry for the ignorance...but this rom is supported by wizard?and how to flash???

Hello,
I tried to port to wizard but sucked at 3rd splash screen. When I replaced shell32.exe and shellres.dll, it worked fine but the graphic is worst.
Anyway, if I added chome, the device hangs after 2 - 3 sec at today screen.
Future thing I was unable to test because tomorrow I am releasing my next version of CR86 Touch HD and was very busy with its.
Best Regards
What's the matter with the close button ("x"). Is it drawed in MS Paint?
And, hell, the view is much worst then I thought...
