FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - Need help unlocking ExtROM

[Ace_of_Aces]

Hello.

I want to upgrade my device to WM6 and need to unlock the ExtROM for merging the ExtROM and storage to one big storage.

I run the "unhide" command and can see the ExtROM, but writing and deleting is not allowed.
When I execute "unlock" or "unlockextrom -unlock -xda3" I always get the following errors:

ERROR:
FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION
A device attached to the system is not functioning

Since two days I google for a solution and found out that many people seem to have exactly the same problem - but there is currently no way!

Is it perhaps possible that the password for unlocking the ExtROM has changed? How can I find it out?

I tried it with the latest offical ROM (1.42) and now downgraded to 1.22 - always the same error.

Hmm, it's strange because the official tool (T-Mobile Germany) can write to ExtROM, so there must be a way to unlock it.

When I try to format the ExtROM, I get the error:
FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE; of course because the ExtROM is still locked.

I am surprised to see that it is possible develop and provide upgrades to WM6 for Blue Angel - but nobody knows what is wrong with the ExtROM.

Thanks in advance for good ideas.

Best regards,
Ace of Aces :)
