Extended_ROM read-only on Qtek 2020. Why?

[AnotherOne]

I have recently bought a Qtek 2020 and I have applied the registry hack to make visible the Extended_ROM area.

Now I would like to edit which CABs the system install after an hard reset but, to my surprise :shock:, the area appears as read-only (error code 19).

Do have I to make other registry modifications to make the Extended_ROM writable? I am using ROM 1.03.00 USA.

TIA

ROM == Read only memory

you can write or delete rom

but in many cases you can flash it
if you make your own cooked ROM and
update the ppc2003 os of your xda2

but the config.txt is not in rom
so you are not chaning or writing in the rom
you are just chaning which files in the rom
the system access

just got confused about the way you asked the question

Hi I would like to know, is your Qtek 2020 has 128M and 64ROM :?: ??
How much did you buy it and where? :roll:
Best regards,

What the hell are you saying??? Config.txt is on Extended_ROM like Autorun.exe and various CABs.

I suggest you to read again the article I have linked (http://www.ppcw.net/index.php?itemid=1642) and leave space for replies to people that really own and know the Qtek 2020.

I didn't have a config.txt in MY rom.

Luckily another user (props to him) figured out that if you prefix the names of your cab files with Default_ (default underscore) and make a config.txt they will autoload on hard reset. :D

You miss the key point of my message: Extended_ROM is read-only in the Qtek 2020. Stop. No way to add any prefix, "Default_" or whatever you want.

Any Qtek 2020 owner out ther that could confirm this? Any XDA-Developers team guy that _know_ how storage disk are mounted by Windows CE and could suggest a (registry?) trick?

Thanks, byez

he is right with saying:

I do have the same issue:

"You miss the key point of my message: Extended_ROM is read-only in the Qtek 2020. Stop. No way to add any prefix, "Default_" or whatever you want. "

[kalex]

same here. read only can't delete or add anything.
