RE: How do I run ExtendedROM Unlocker?
Hi all,
I'm a newbie that has just gotten my hands on a secondhand XDAII. I have upgraded to WM2005 but with only 14mb of storage. I intend to increase it to 32mb by using the DOC tool. But before that, it require me to run ExtendedROM Unlocker.
Now this is where the problem comes in. I downloaded the .rar file and there is no executable files i can use. The files unzipped have extensions like from .000, .001 to .005. How do i use these files?
Also, any precautions to take before i do the steps to expand my storage to 32mb?
Would really appreciate your help for this newbie. Last time i use a TREO600, but now i think XDA rocks!!!!
Regards
Danny
That program is not for your desktop, download it to your XDA and use it there. Also check www.buzzdev.net before doing anything. Everything you need to know is there

I have installed the T-mobile 1.72 Beta ROM update on my O2 XDA. Everything has installed just fine and it appears to be working great. The addition of the Fax module is really welcome although a little buggy has allowed me to send a number of faxes.
The BT stack now gives me an extra option on my Widcom BT software on my desktop pc. It seems much more stable than the O2 stack.
My only problem is that all my MMS, SMS, GPRS and WAP settings are for T-Mobile UK and not O2 Ireland. I have tried to enter them manually with little success.
After reading through some of the other threads would it be possible to take the relevant cab files from an O2 1.60 (latest ROM) Extended ROM and copy them onto my PDA and then run them to install the settings? I also miss the O2 Active screen and would like to install that as well. If this is possible could and please tell me that it is!!!! Would someone be kind enough to send me the relevant Cab files?
Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I think its posted on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8515
On page 2. There is a modified extendend rom.
Thanks for the mail
I have downloaded the extended ROM that you mentioned but it seems to just contain the T-Mobile stuff. I would like a copy of the O2 Extended ROM if possible and just install the O2 settings and Active.
Thanks

If you have an old backup, you can replace that with the new one you have now. And then runt the desired CAB files (Camera, mms, andsoon) from the new 1.72 upgrade.
Here you go mate...
Attached is a ZIP file, containing a folder.
In it, are ALL the O2 files found in an O2 Extended ROM, as per 1.60.00 ROM Upgrade, O2 WWE.
I am not sure exactly which CAB is the settings file (can anyone tell me what the GPRS settings file CAB is called in an extended ROM), so you will have to find it yourself.
It also includes the O2 Active stuff.
Hope it helps.
Download it quick, becuase I'm not sure the legalities of posting it here, and also its a big file, so using up a lot of my space, so I wanna delete it soon.
Thanks
Thanks Shadamehr
I downloaded the ROM ran the Cabs and I now have O2 connection settings and O2 active. Thank you so much.
My next project is to copy the o2 files to the extended 1.72 ROM so that if I require a hard reset it will install the O2 stuff and the newer 1.72 files etc.
Out of interest the application for unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM requires the sending of "arguments" how do you do this on Pocket PC. i am familiar with doing this on a desktop PC. Any help would again be appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Er, you've totally lost me mate.
For the Unlocker, all I do, is copy the cab file for it over to my XDA2, then use File Manager on the XDA2 to locate the file, and click to run.
This installs it.
Then, if you go into programs, there is a new folder, next to games, for the extRom tools.
Open that, and you can hide/unhide, and lock/unlock the extended ROM.
It sometimes requires a soft reboot.
When it is unlcoked and unhidden, you can simply delete all files in it, and copy the whole O2 folder contents into it that I posted.
Then, after a hard reset, it will install all the programs in the extended rom.
Not sure what all these 'argument' things are you mention mate, sorry.
Sorted!!!
Did not see the programme group had been using the application via the file explorer and it was asking for "arguments". Thanks for the help.

First off, after realising that i needed to unlock my SX56 and ATT/Cingular/Siemens weren't going to help, I ran across the forum. Had a new ROM cooked and running in almost no time at all! Thanks to everyone!
Here's my question: I'm running a slighly modified "A.30.09 ENG Siemens" ROM on a Siemens SX56 (Wallaby). I downloaded PhonExt 1.2 and copied the file to my XDA, but I can't get it to install. I've searched a lot, and read a lot of posts, but I guess Im missing something. I just get a "SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002 is not a valid Pocket PC Application" error message. (I tried running it on my desktop as well, just to make sure I didn't need to that and copy it over...")
Any help would be appreciated.

Try this...
Make sure the .exe file or a shortcut to the .exe file is in your Startup folder on your SX56: My Device\Windows\StartUp\PhoneExt.exe.
After placing this file in your StartUp folder, soft reset, the program will load.
You should see an icon in your system tray when the program is active.
can't even get phonext.exe
I can't get phonext.exe. The file i downloaded from the phonext website is the SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002.exe, which i can't run. Do I need anything other than just the "phonext.exe" file itself? Can I just copy the phonext.exe file from someone, or do I need to run the setup?
am running wm2003 - does that matter?
I'm running wm2003 -- does that make a difference?
You will need to run that setup file from your desktop. I have a copy of SetupPhoneExt_PPC2002.exe that I just ran from my desktop with no problems at all. It is strange that you cannot run the setup file from your desktop. Are you getting an error message or will the file just not run?
I am running Windows 2000 on my desktop. My SX56 is running WM2003 with A.30.09 ENG ROM, and Activesync 3.8.
I am not sure just copying the PhonExt.exe file from my SX56 and emailing to you would work, but I can if you would like.
It worked!
I don't know what was different when I ran it this time, but whatever it was seemed to have worked.
Thanks llwhipll!

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but try to upgrade to lastest LVSW that includes Extended ROM, so after the upgrade, you can unlock in the same way you do in the past and use the 10Mb extra space.
Of course, if you are not planning to upgrade to WM6, don't follow me
REgards.
thank you jcespi2005
but i prefer to stay with a french and stabel rom. Are they any french patche for this rom.

flash a NBH containing only an extrom using HardSPL, this will fix your issue.
Thanks Pof,
but i am a beginner.
Where can i find it or how can i do it ?
TH
wiki and forum, search for: nbhextract, nbhgen, hardspl and customRUU.
1) Flash HardSPL (latest version) on your phone
2) Extract ExtROM.nb from any shipped NBH (it doesn't matter which one) using nbhextract
3) Convert ExtROM.nb to NBH using nbhgen
4) Flash your newly created NBH file containing only ExtROM into your device using CustomRUU, make sure to start the upgrade in bootloader mode with activesync disabled.
super
muchas gracias Pof
I'll let you know if i succed
Thierry
Use the same guide here but change the technique to Ext.ROM only and don't select the OS.nb. In other words it's exactly the same steps exept for one.
filehttp://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
ok sniper251
this means i only have to "click" on the extrom button and disregard the others ?
Yes and don't forget step #4 in Pof post assuming you have Hard Spl 1.40olipro.
Also you can check wether the .nb file is good or not before conversion using the file attached.
It worked fine to extarct the extrom.nb but which command do i need to execute the NBHgen ?
BTW i could not download the koch generator
Thanks for help
Thierry

Hi there- I inherited an SX56- but can't seem to download new proggies to it! Not too sure if it has PC2002 or 2003, but i can tell you it has:
ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG
Radio: A.20.10
I tried using installing ActiveSync- but I guess I need a serial key or something.
Since I couldn't find a post on how to build with current updates- can someone reply or re-direct to a post that lists what I need to make this baby current so I can install some of the cool utilities for this PDA?
Thanks again!
PS: Im running XDA-developers SW on this baby!
activesync can be freely downloaded from ms's site
and require not serial
if it ask for code when you connect your pda it's the pda's
user set code it wants
ok- got the latest active sync- 4.5 build. I still can't seem to successfully run .msi files or .cab files to and from the sx56. I tried dropping the .cab files to different directories- since its probably looking for PPC2002 files as well to run the program. I also downloaded CNET framework v2.0.2...still can't seem to install programs onto the pocket PC
any ideas?
Cheers!
i think msi files was ment to run from the pc not the ppc
Hello Everybody! Hope Christmas has been good to you...
I've got a question: How do I Install A2DP on my XDA II ? I tried programs like Enable A2DP.ZIP but my XDA II (from O2) said this is not a valid Windows CE Setup Data.
I've got a nice BT Headset from Jabra BT 320s. And I wanted to hear stereo music with it.
My op. System on XDA II is...Microsoft Pocket PC Vers. 4.20.0 (Build 14053)
Thanx for quick answers!!
"not a valid Windows CE Setup Data."
is a typical issue with a user trying to run an pc activesync application install exe file on the pda rather then on the pc
Sorry for the unclear formulation:
The EnableA2DP.zip was of course extracted on the desktop pc. The two *.CAB files were sent to the XDA II folder. After trying to install these files, the error massage appered. There was no *.exe file at all.
Thanks again,
Aczede
