How to remove the Extended ROM?

[Anonymous]

The OS requires appr. 34MByte. The Extended ROM about 22MByte and Storage space is only 8MByte.

Did someone already find out how to REMOVE the extended ROM. It's just 22MByte of useless storage space now. Once the apps in it are installed about 40% of the available flash space is just sitting there.

It would be great to have 30MByte of Storage space and keep a copy of the Extended ROM applications on a SD Card, so you still have them if you would ever need a hard reset.

In most ROM versions (WWE) the complete 22MByte is not even used. HTC just designed it to fit all Extended ROM versions.

So, if somebody finds out how to remove the Extended ROM and replace it with Storage space. That would be great.



MDA T-Compact (blueshop24.de) flashed to WWE English version.

1. First, Backup your XDA mini
2. Do a Hard-Reset and wait until it goes to the "Today" screen
3. And then there is message will tell you that,it will start installing the Extended Rom in 3 seconds.
4. At this moment DON'T let the installation run.And Do a Soft-Reset immediately~!~!
5. After you do this Soft-Reset,you can go to check your "Memory" and You can also see a "Extended_ROM" in your "File Explorer"
6. But You can't modify the file in "Extended_ROM" folder you can only choose something that you want and install back into your XDA mini.
