I can't get this to work either, have I missed something?

---

I put the cab on my MDA Compact and installed it.

Using File Explorer I can see a folder in Program Files and an Icon in the Programs window.

This has the four Icons, Hide, Lock, Unhide and Unlock!

My extended-rom folder is visable in File Explorer so I tokk it that I didn't have to 'Unhide' it.

So pressed the unlock icon and got a window with debug and ok in the title and Error: I click ok.

1.When I get back to my desktop I have another debug, etc window with following FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION. I click ok.

2.The next debug window says The Parameter is incorrect. I click ok again.

3. The next says extrom unlocked. I click ok.

I am taken back to '1' and go through 2 and 3 again. The windows go away.

I soft reset the MDA, by using the stylus underneath it.

I go back to file explorer and into the extended_rom folder and try deleting the TMO_Wallpaper and am told access is denied!

Not sure what else to try, but guess the unlock didn't work or I have missed something. Please be kind, if you reply. ops:

Hi,
I am not sure if it works for you to,
I have had the same problem, FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION on my screen. Device didnt unlock either.

Tried to do it in any possible way, ops:
even on the fora over here.
But the one wich i skipped, or didn't found was the correct one for me,
Personal i Think my Windows Screwed the files up, but thats F%CK*#G WINLOOS.
So i went to the ftp part of this site, and just downloaded the unlock tool again,

Just did an hardboot of the device, installed the fresh download i obtained.
First unhided it, than reset, followed by unlock, and guess what it said?!?
Rom was unlocked.
So not an single error in my case, hopes it will work for u to.
It is not always your mda who fails, your pc can do this much better.

:arrow: :mrgreen:

How do I get to the FTP site, please?

Ok I think i have got to the ftp site, I say I think because when I clicked on the link it took me stright there, it didn't ask me for a username or password :?:

Anyway I searched all what I thought were the relevant folders and some that weren't and couldn't find the file ops:

Can anyone help?

your device is called magician as codename
try looking in the sub dirs under there

I don't want to appear rude, but I have searched all the folders, etc!
