Hi,
I have a TMObile MDA Pro and in an attempt to make the thing go just a bit quicker and not freeze all the time I have updated to the latest TMobile ROM. I now want to reset it and not install all the TMobile specific stuff. From reading this forum I have used the BuzzDev utility to unlock the Extended Rom successfully and have downloaded Total Commander to view the contents, so that I can choose what to run from the ExtRom manually. However when using Total Commander I still cannot see any entry for the ExtRom and the associated files. Can anyone shed any light on what I have done wrong???

It's a hidden folder that TC doesn't show. Can't remember the name, but if you enter the directory name rather than click, you can get in there - maybe \extrom or \rom? I found this out on a universal extrom forum here, but didn't note the URL, sorry.


(edit) - try \extended_rom\ :) - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=55591&highlight=
