Error while using unlocker tool

[sameer25]

Hello,

I seem to be having a weird error when I try to unlock the ext rom or unhide it. I can see the folder in my programs folder, but when I click on unhide, nothing happens and when I click on unlock I get a debug error which says "FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - The parameter is incorrect" . I dont know why it keeps doing it. I have tried to upgrade to the latest rom version but after getting in the bootloader mode, in the utility screen it does not show me the new version of the rom, the only thing it shows me is that my device will be upgraded to 5.3.2, which is what i currently have.

Any idea why its doing what its doing?????


Thanks,
Sam

If I remember correctly, Extended ROM unlocker is not working under WM5.

As you say aybe the unlocker does not work with WM5, so I downgraded to the original factory version of 1.42. At this point the unlocker worked fine. So I tried to upgrade it to the latest version of 5.1.1700, but as soon as the utility screen comes up, it shows me that my rom will be upgraded to 5.03.02 which is what i have had all this while. So I upgraded it back to the same version and just upgraded to the latest radio version. When I try to use the unlocker again in this 5.03.02 version I still get that same error.

Can anyone please help me to upgrade to the latest rom version 5.1.1700 and tell me what this error means.

Thanks in advance,
Sam

I think we have a slight misunderstanding here. 5.03.02 and 5.1.1700, here are exactly the same. 5.03.02 is the ROM version, while 5.1.1700 is the OS version of the ROM. So 5.03.02 IS 5.1.1700 actually.

First of all, thank you KTamas for helping me out on this one and clearing out this problem of Rom versions.

I have another question though, what is this wizard rom? and how different is it from the one that I just installed? I was trying to install the wizard rom before I installed the one that I have right now, but got stuck in the middle when I had to create the EXTROM folder and transfer the contents after editing the edit.bat file. I was not able to transfer the getdeviceid.txt file from my phone to my pc for some odd reason and so was not able to do much on that.

Can you please help me?

Thanks,
Sameer
