I have XDA EXEC, and flash it to JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.
Then I found that the Extended ROM of Jasjar is so big and has a lot of rubbish like Optus_Settings.CAB,Vodacom_SA_WAP1.2.CAB, Vodafone_NZ.CAB, etc.
I have used Total Commander to delet them, but when I soft rest, everything still at there.
Can someone tell me how to delet the Extended ROM?
Many thanks~!!!
Just hard reset, then soft reset before the device installs the extended ROM.
If you do this you will have your device without the extended ROM.
Regards,
Thank you very much!!!
I have done it!!!
It works fine!!!!!
I understand some of the cabs on the Extended ROM are necessary for the JASJAR work properly as they patches . Could somebody list them?
I think they are
Default_CAB-Shortcut-CDL-04Aug05.CAB
Default_Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab
Default_pIE_View.sa.CAB
Default_Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
Default_Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
Default_Signed_UNI_CDL_UAProf.sa.CAB
Default_Signed_Version.sa.CAB
Enjoy it~
You can install the CAB files which you feel it's necessary for the Jasjar on the storage card instead of the main memory.
It will work fine and will save a sufficiant space on the main storage as well.

I believe that the above CAB files differ according to the ROM version and to the language used.
Since I'm using the Arabic ROM build my extended ROM is different.
So, I would suggest that you should let them install first after the hard reset and note them on a peace of paper while seeing them installing one by one and then you make a hard reset again, then soft reset before the extended rom is installed and then determine which to install and which not to install, and then you can install the CAB files which you need to the storage card instead of the main memory.

Cab Files
How can you install cabs to sd memory card ? By copy pasting onto the card and then double tapping the icons? Is it as simple as that?

Just copy the CAP file and past it to the SD card, then tap it from there and the installation will process.
Then, the installation will ask you whether to install the CAB file into the main memory or to the memory card.... just chose the memory card and then tap install.... it will be installed to the memory card instead of the main memory.

I just installed them on the main memory as they seem to be mainly patches... from the SD will be much slower, or not?

Radio version: 1.04.02 (AFTER MANUAL UPDATED)
Protocol Version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.137 WWE (installed manually using Total Commander)
My most new annoying experience...
Everytime I delete some files from ExtROM that I don't want to install in the event of an hardreset, they reappear again after a softreseting the device. :twisted:
Even powering the device down, and waitting more than 10secs, as several times suggested in this forum.
Maybe a silly question, but any ideas to overcome this?
Don't tell me the only way is to coock a new .nbf Extended ROM!?
It is? :?
have you try formatting the extended storage? i used resco file explorer to format it after unlock the extended rom storage.
No I didn't format, as I wanted to delete just some files.
Should I Format?
And then?
- reflash the ExtROM .nbf, and delete unwanted files?
or
- just copy the ones I want to keep?
Also realized that extra files copied into, disappear after softreset :evil:
This thing seems to have own life...
Nothing of these behaviours were happening with previous ExtROM form Qtek (1.13.151 WWE).
Is it a different philosophy between Qtek and i-mate, for ExtROM?
Why these different behaviours?

Thanks for the hint. It worked!
Finally I think that I got the complete picture.
All difficulties to unlock Ext ROM on this new i-mate ROM, and a comment at another thread, made me think that once unlocked, it wouldn't be needed to repeat it again after further Hardresets. Changing the Reg settings accordingly, would be enough (WRONG!).
Silly conclusion... in fact Ext ROM was visible, but still protected.
The mommentary ability to delete and add files, leaded o a false confirmation that every thing was ok.
Now I can delete and add files to Ext ROM without problems!
Thanks all, the moved me to the rigth track.
Well after a hard reset this time I did not run the un-locker cab again, just changed the registry values. I have deleted a number of cabs, and installed two programs to the space freed by deleting the cabs. I've turned my device off for a couple of hours, and did a soft reset. So far this time my ExtROM is still there, as are my programs.
Granted this is not what I expected to occur.

Realy strange...
That were also these comments which caused my confusion before. Now I don't know what to think anymore :?
But will follow only the procedure that works for me.
Unlocking ExtROM on this ROM, turnned to be a really tricky procedure.
For me it only works if I enter the Reg settings manually...
Any attempt to insert them with a Cab file turns into failure to unlock ExtROM. Independent if I run the unlock tool before or after, followed by a softreset :evil:
You have to edit the "Config" file.
Hi,
looking for a guide to cook my own Ext Rom. I have looked at the Wiki, but found only tools for the Wiz. Can I use the same tools, or will I get into trouble. If there is a good Uni walk-thru available it would be highly appreciated. I already searched the forum, but did not find what I was looking for...
Thanks.

I unlocked my Extended ROM but I delete stuff it in. It seems its read only. Can anyone help me clean it up? I am sure that the WM speed will increase if the Ext ROM is clean. Also how can i lock it back after i clean it?

read only? after a softreset the files are still there? so u can use extended ROM "unhider" from indra.AKU3.2.BETA5R2....so u unhide and unlock it...then delete and the files are deleted forever ;-)
see attached ZIP ;-) install / execute both on PPC

Yes after a soft reset i still see the extended rom and all the files within it. The files are those Cingular and all those service providers etc and some skype and other stuff. The extended ROM is giving me 10MB of space on the device and I find it quite valuable. Rather than having it occupied by unneccessary stuff. Now this Ext-ROM unhider you speak of will let me write/read things from the Ext-ROM? Does it work with other AKU versions? Like helmi's aku 3.5? Thanks pixx
Be Careful
As always, care needs to be taken unlocking and unhiding the ExtRom. You can use the tools provided and they work well.
- First make sure to rename your 'storage card' to something else than 'storage card' since unhiding the ExtRom will make that the 'Storage Card' and your apps will not run from the SD anymore..
- It is not possible (as far as I know) to lock the ExtRom once you run the tools. But you can delete all the files inside to make it clean.
- The extended Rom space (10MB) cannnot be merge with the other storage, but you can install apps to it, or use it as storage space for attachments or whatever.
I am still lookng for a cookbook to make my own ExtRom...

Alright I formatted the Ext-ROM ^^ . Now that its empty i will relock it which will speed up the device right?
No (re-)lock possible afterwards... just leave it as is.

No relock possible even after a hard reset? A hard reset usually restores the device to an unmodified state but it doesnt restore the data right?
Never tried the hard reset uption so I can't tell if that will work, I flash my device about once a week with different (new) versions.
I may try next time I flash. Does anyone know?
Actually there is a way to relock the Ext ROM. I can't find the thread I read it from, but from what I remember you have to copy the registry settings BEFORE you unlock the Ext ROM. Then install Buzz's Ext ROM Unlocker. After a soft reset, the Ext ROM is now unlocked. Now customized it to your heart's content. Then cut and paste the original Registry settings to replace the new one. Another soft reset and your Ext ROM is now locked again. This is what I read from another thread. I had never tried this proceedure myself, so I can't guarantee it will work.
But, this is what I usually do whenever I customized my Ext ROMs:
1st: Install Buzz's Ext ROM Unlocker.
2nd: Soft Reset.
3rd: Customized the Ext ROM with CAB files.
4th: Perform a Hard reset to check if all the CAB files installed properly.
5th: Once I know every CAB files worked and installed properly, I now proceed with installing my other applications.
So basically, my rule whenever customizing my Ext ROM is: DO IT FIRST BEFORE INSTALLING THE REST OF YOUR APPS. This way you don't have to worry about LOCKING it afterwards.
Sounds like a plan
The next time I will apply a new ROM (probably within the next couple of days) I will try this. One more question: Do I have to backup the entire registry, or are there some specific settings I should back up?
Merry Christmas!

As mentioned, I myself had not tried that approach. But to be sure, make a copy of the entire Registry and try it.
Another suggestion, if you have SPB Backup, this I already tried, so I know it works. Use SPB Backup to DO A BACKUP OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BEFORE INSTALLING THE EXT ROM UNLOCKER. After the backup, install Ext ROM unlocker and unlock the Ext ROM. You can now customize your Ext ROM any way you want. To RELOCK it, just run SPB Backup to the BACKUP you created before you installed Ext ROM Unlocker.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

@Ireneus
If your purpose is just to delete the files in the "\Extended_ROM" (actual name when hidden) without unhiding it, there are a few ways, all works.
Method 1
- Google, download & install "Total Commander v2.exe" (freeware).
- In Total Commander's command line, just type \Extended_ROM , and you will see it.
- Before you do anything, suggest you copy everything to somewhere in case you need it back again.
- And now you can do anything to it. If it is really "READ" only, Total Commander also can "UNREAD" it. Think Total Commander can delete files with the "atrributes" (hidden, read, system, archive).
Method 2
- Download Helmi_c AKU3.5 V1.3, extract it, look for the ms_nbf in the Empty_Extended_rom, flash only this ms_nbf into you device, it should be empty.
Method 3 (need to unhide first)
- I am lasy to find out which Registry, so before unhide, I copied all the "Registry HKCR, HKCU & HKLM" (hidden).
- download Extrom_Unhider.cab & UNI_ext_rom_unlock.exe (should be in this forum or FTP)
- run Extrom_Unhider.cab first and following by running UNI_ext_rom_unlock.exe, you have unhide & unlock the "\ExtendedROM".
- Press POWER key to powerdown, then Soft Reset.
- You can also now copy "Registry HKCR, HKCU & HKLM" (unhidden/unlock) to different location of above "Registry HKCR, HKCU & HKLM" (hidden).
- So depend you want to hide/lock or unhide/unlock, just copy the respective set of registry. Easy.
@cktlcmd
Copy of Registry & copy back was my posting, anyway I also cannot find where it is, but it works, I tried it myself.
Anyone knows how to save the extended rom files ?
I wanted to hardreset device and skip the HTC custom tools
Diamond have no Extended ROM.
if you want to stop custamizie tool when first boot, do stylus reset or cook rom.

i wanted to install the opera and htc skin, etc, just skip the damn 3d touch flo

Hi!
I want get also some files from the rom. How I can access it? It found via Mobile Registry Editor an MSFlash entry with the flag "MountHidden" = 1 but I can't change this value (access denied).

correct me if i'm wrong, there should be something identical to ext-rom in Diamond, if not how can u even do a hard reset? meaning, all the cab files should be stored somewhere.. i've been looking high and low for this storage space but still in vain.. any expert out there who found this additional storage space, dun mind sharing it with us..

wrong, and wrong.
These devices no longer use ext-roms, when you hard reset the device, it only clears the PIM database and restores defaults. The SPL and the application that hard resets the device knows what to delete and what not to.
haha.. i see.. guess i haven't been updating myself for quite sometime .. thanks for your reply though ..
The .cab files loads from de windows directory, how kan I delete .cab files. The windows directory kan not be saved or delete.
I won't install only the cab file from Opera with a reboot
Hey guys does any of u have any cab autoinstaller to SD card ?
I tried SASHIMI but it doesnt support mini resolution
Forget it. On your storage card create a folder, named "Autorun" and put all your cabs in there.
thanks for reply
but can you explain me how it will work?i mean it will just install after hard reset or flashing ROM only?
After flashing or hard reset, when device reads card, it will start auto installation of all cabs are located inside "Autorun" folder.
thanks,but after hard reset or flashing u know if its any program which does this?
for example i want to install at once 10-15 cabs to SD card without to click for each cab
hey mate try XDA_UC_NET v0.9.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709557
Take a full backup first. Put those cabs in the "Autorun" folder. Make a hard reset. Auto installation will began. You don't have to click on each cab, you select only the destination (internal memory or card).
