Hi there,
I have been following the wizard forum and have both enjoyed and benifited from what you have posted on here. You are all doing a great job.

I have an issue with extended rom.

I am running farias latest wm6 rom on a g3 T-Mobile wizard (vario)
I have upgraded my gsm to 02.69.11 and so far again no problems.

When I unlocked my extended rom with the available rom unlocker again no problems.
I can flash the extended rom with pre built roms, have built my own roms using the ext_rom kit and all seems fine untill I try to write to the extended rom direct from pc or phone. Is this because I cannot write to the config file with the changes or another reason. I have read else where you can erase/write to the older o2 ext rom is it just because the wm6 rom is newer and my hardware is newer? All i get is the usual corruption, illegible characters etc

Thanks for reading and if there is anything I can do to help the cause let me know as I am enjoying the new skills/knowledge I am gaining through rom cooking etc

My understanding is that the extended rom unlocker doesn't work. It unhides, but does not "unlock" the extended rom for writing. The extended rom can only reliably be written to by "flashing".
