Unlock STORAGE on Alpine QTEK 2020i

[apoujade]

Is very good day

I speak about QTEK 2020i Alpine and no other

I succeful unlok my STORAGE was as looked after trying to unlok Extended_ROM.

Try this step
1) Go to registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/StorageManager/Profiles/TRUEFFS_DOC
2) Change value in folder "Storage" by other thing example "Toto"
3) Soft Reset your 2020i
4) With Explorer now you must have a folder nammed "Toto" in my example
5) Try to copy or delete inside a file. For me it's working
6) Return in registry, return original value "Storage" in Folder value
7) Soft reset again

In final you must have your original Storage that is now unloked

Let me know if it's correct for you

I'm be happy and to find solution

I tried exactly what you said, even that I have tried it before, but it DID NOT work.
that parameter which you changed is just responsible for the name of the folder only, so if you realy could unlock the Storage folder, then it happened with you by chance with another way. if it was just that simple then flashing PPC would solve it also, but it wont, I also tried that.
so please try again to lock and unlock it if u remember the way and tell us in more details. in yours explanations: the name of storage is changed but still I cannot delete or save into it.
on the other hand, if you change the value of MOUNT there to 0 then you will hide your Storage folder, and this is what the LoadvDisk does, it just plays with such a registry parameter, but for unlocking the DLL file is responsible for that, for those who doesn't know what is the DLL, simply I can tell that it is a collection (Library) of functions, now that DLL file has a function that is responsible of unlocking the disk by modifying the non erasable memory ROM. and that is why when you flash the PPC, still your extended rom and Storage is locked, because that data is saved on the ROM that needs a special function and password passed to that function for modifying that data there.
sorry for the long post

Right


In fact i was no certain about "other way" at the moment where i wrote.

Follow exchange about " eNiPlA", i tried modify the tools for SX66 and use it during the test but don't view effect immediatly. It was the same tools that was loocked my storage that today after modification unlock it.

Try this, but i m not certain that to change name of folder in registry is necessary
1) Go to registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/StorageManager/Profiles/TRUEFFS_DOC
2) Change value in folder "Storage" by other thing example "Toto"
3) Soft Reset your 2020i
4) With Explorer now you must have a folder nammed "Toto" in my example
5) USE TOOL ATTACHED HERE and Try to copy or delete inside a file. For me it's working
6) Return in registry, return original value "Storage" in Folder value
7) Soft reset again

IMPORTANT

Don't use this tools (in this state) to lock, but just for UNLOCK Storage . As EMU said, if you try to lock , in fact it lock your STORAGE.

[EMU]

yes, that tool worked alone, just install the tool, run it on your device and try only to unlock (ONLY UNLOCK, DONT TRY ANYTHING ELSE) and it would be ok after a soft reset!

thanks apoujade, can I ask you how did you modify the tool, which tools you used for that, if you had the whole source code can you please send it also, because if you could modify this tool, then we may reach to the Extended Rom easier from it also.

I feel we are very near to the solution....

Hi

This tools came from http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe.

I changed with binary editor string "rEiRaH" with " eNiPlA" wthitout missing 2 space before. It's seems to be made for Audiovox with Extended ROM in target. On Alpine it's work for Storage area.

Hello guys, please help me!

How can I unlock the Extended ROM on my XDA IIi? I've been used the search-function but I haven't found any thing that would heplfull fo rme! :cry:

[reveil]

My Alpine's storage was also locked and have been looking for any solution.
Today Asukal informed this thread and I tried ExtTools_modifiedAlpine.exe.
It works quite well and I could unlock my Alpine's Storage area!!

Thanks guys!! :D

[animelover]

Stop!

Storage is the place where I can install programs and them aren't deleting during a hard reset and a ExtROM is the place for the software that are using by the providers! Are I'm right? :?:

Than it wouldn't be helpfull for me! :(

Yes, you are right.
What I thank all friends here is that I could release the lock of Storage which was locked during the operation of finding the way to unlock ExtROM. :D

[animelover]

So if I try this manual, after that my ExtROM is writeable? That would it be cool! :D



Hehehehe, space, I want more space for my porgrams! ^^

[EMU]

to clear something out:
everyone is wondering how to unlock the Extended Rom, so as everyone, while we were trying to figure it out, our Storage Folder became also locked (not-writable) so we had another problem, it became our main problem, since the Storage folder should be writable in the normal form, so the ideas in this post are only to unlock the Storage folder and has no relation to the extended rom, so if your Storage folder is already writable, then ignore what is in this form. if you are looking for a solution for your Extended Rom, the answer is: WAIT, we are working on that, and when it is solved most probably you will find the answer in a seperate post..

Good luck to all in the unlocking process..

[tony-xd_wang]

so Brother EMU, do you already find the way to unlock the Ext Rom of XDA? I upgrade to WM2005, then the tools I used before is mulfucntion.
I am eager to wait for your solutions, tks!

Hi

Without EMEI, i sue two site for french ROM, but other depends what you want (O2, WWE ..)

Mobinaute it's free but you must ask for download DANGAARD ROM
http://www.mobinaute.com/mobinaute/ (search for DANGA)

Brighpoint it's also free, but you must create an account to access download area
http://www.qtekfr.com/modules/news/

Other way, but not the last version is ftp from xda where you search in ALpine folder
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/

[zohaer21]

THANK YOU!

This worked to unlock the Storage folder on my 2i

I didn't even realize that the problem started when I tried to use the extrom unlocking tools, I just found one day that my storage was locked and I could no longer write or delete files from it. That sucked, it took me ages to find this post and now it is fixed. Great!

I speak about QTEK 2020i Alpine and no other

If you are speaking about QTEK 2020i Alpine and no other, WHY ON EARTH YOU OPEN THIS TOPIC AT THE "Himalaya upgrading etc. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=21)" FORUM?

[sawoff]

Thanks

[gracias]

good day guys. ive been having trouble with my sd card lately.. it seems i could no longer add any applications nor files in it yet there is still more than 700mb of free space.checked the slide toggle at the side and its not locked.everytime i add a program via activesync it says "check that the device is properly connected,that it has enough space and is not copyright protected" but nothing has been changed as far as i know. tried upgrading to the latest activesync to no avail.i noticed that this only happens when i insert my card in my device because i tried to put it in a cardreader and added some files up to its capacity and it worked. only problem is that it seems to be locked when i insert it to my device. i noticed this after i installed memmaid and sk tools. tried uninstalling them but the problem still persists.i even did a hard reset and installed all the applications but there it goes again,jammed at the 700mb mark.
could this be a registry problem caused by the tweaks of the applications mentioned?

my specs are as follows:
orange spv M1500 ppc2003 se + 2 gb sd card

i hope you can help me on this guys and thank you in advance.
