ext rom unlocker MDA Compact or S100

where to download - or doesn't exist ?

If you want to get access to the extended ROM you simply have to do perform the standard debranding procedure on you MDA Compact (or whatever brand you have).

Here is how it works:

1) Do a hard reset.
2) Go through all the initial configuration stuff (calibration of touch screen etc.).
3) At some point you will be asked to tab the screen to continue. Right after that the contents of the extended ROM will begin to install themselves. The trick is to tap the screen and immidiately after perform a soft reset.

Once your MDA Compact is done with the soft reset, you will find yourself being the proud owner of a debranded phone/pda. :-) The external ROM will be visible. If you wish to install some of the things on the external ROM simply execute the respective CAB files.

I chose to install the caller ID application as well as the camera patch.

Have fun,
Lars

Hello,

Ok but if you don't want to make a hard reset you can:

go to your windows directory and launch loadvdisk.exe

just for info total commander see this file but the explorer of file not

Right, I forgot to mention that you can unlock the extended ROM without a hard reset. However, this is as I see it not particularly useful since everything on the extended ROM has already been installed if you don't go through the debranding procedure. Also as the name Read Only Memory (ROM) suggests you cannot write to it, so it is fairly useless to unlock it if everything on it has already been installed ... except if you want to extract the content of it to post it ;)

I don't need to post - there is a lot already on the web. i need to change some preconfiguration with my own cab files for my company.

But it seams that there is no way to do this like with the 2020
