ROM& EXROM Extraction

[twinair]

hiya!

I've been working with the I-mate(XDAII,02) and basically it's end of life soon.

I've had HTC send us some of their new devices, the imate PDA2 and PDA2K.

is there anyway I can extract the EXROM & ROM from these devices.

I know previously, if i wanted to add my custom CABS to the EXROM, i had to wait till a ROM update was available for download before I could reverse engineer it.

But are there any tools available out there, so that I can plug my device into the cradle, and then extract the ROM to my laptop ?

not sure if this can be done, but i'm hoping so !

At the moment you can unhide the ExtROM using the old XDAII tool v2.2, but you can not unlock the rom, so you can't change anything.

what would it take to actually edit the EXROM?

I have WM 2003 ROM Editor, for my current device. it works a charm as long as you have the password.

There is no solution to this question at the moment.

Isn't there any news about that?

I've been looking aroud the forum and searching inside it but I couldn't even find a tool to unhide the extended rom.
I remeber I saw it should be just a reg key, but I do not remember which one.

@fdpm
are you talking about himalaya ; then it's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422&highlight=extendedromunlocker

it should work on Blue Angel as xda-rocks said (only unhide)
