Extended ROM Unlocker

[itsme]

attached a cab file that will install a tool to lock/unlock and hide/unhide the extended rom.

( with 'unlock' I mean make it read/writable again )

source is browsable at http://viewcvs.xda-developers.com/cg...autils/extrom/

Yihaaaa!!! Itsme RULEZZZ !

( I'll say it if nobody else does, even though I was almost in the room when it happened. What's the matter with you people? Don't you know how to properly motivate cool hacks?

This is going to make life so much easier to designing and testing custom extended roms. No more 1 hour reflash wait to do testing.

Thanks.

Could you give us tech details on how the XDA makes the rom unrewritable?? (reg settings?)

I'm realy curious because i was trying like many othters to figure out the process of locking/unloking it but with out any success

regards,

I found the password to unlock the DiskOnChip device by looking at the bootloader.

the diskonchip is somewhat documented on the m-sys.com website.
but not very well, and incorrectly, I figured out the correct packet formats for the deviceiocontrol functions by comparing the trueffs.dll and bootloader code.

for the functions used look at the source, it is only 2 functions : insert key + change protection.

i am with you all in giving compliments to itsme. that tool makes arranging of my own roms so simple n easy.

keep up the excellent work :-D
