Sono Arrivato 1!!!!!! Extrom Unlocked

[ferrett1968]

Found how to reveal Extrom in Trinity!!!!!

Just edit the registry and............. (follows)

[ferrett1968]

More or less the concept is the same of the others.
The HTC put also in this ROM an allocate partition to allow the various customers to put their own cab installers and custom the device. You can evidence this from the unvonted installation of programs after the "hardreset".

How to reveal:
with an regeditor for ppc ( I used PHM RegEdit)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV

Bootphase =2 (0x000002)
DrivePath =Drivers/builtIn/EXT_FLASHDRv
LoadFlags = 1 (0x000001)
Order = 1 (0x000001)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV

DefaultFileSystem = FATFS
Folder = Extend_ROM
MountHidden = (00000000)
Name
PartitionDriver


That's all!

Just let me work on it.....
Or post some suggests

Hi ferret! Great work on posting the registry edit!

Managed to show it and my extrom is 9.94MB. My device is showing (under "Memory") 58.68MB for Storage and 49.10MB for Program. But under "Device Information", I should have 64MB RAM & 128MB Flash. Where have the rest of the memory gone?

Is there a way to unlock more memory? :confused:

Actual memory is (64+64)mb=128mb
not 64+128 mb! :(

Does this mean that the memory specs advertised by HTC are false/misleading?

ROM: 128 MB
RAM: 64 MB SDRAM

[ferrett1968]

Here I am,
I've been busy with other things and now I'M back!
OK Let's Work On It!

.........or at least ......let's try ;-)!!!

ok giorgio.............sono proprio curioso

Nope, it only means that if you actualy knew how a WM5 device's architecture was laid out, then you would know half the ROM gets eaten up by the operating system...

[leon100]

No need for the sarcasm. I do have some idea about the memory usage, my point was that specs published by manufacturers should give a more clear indication about the available memory to the user such as after a hard reset.

[Moaske]

You've got a point there...

And i should have added a smilie... ;) :D

[leon100]

No problem...settled then! :)

I have installed IBE RegEditor on my Trinity (your editor apparently does not work with my device). Prima la descrizione, poi il problema (first desription then the problem).

First, I have made a backup of the registry file (named: Oldreg) and placed in a different directory.

Then, I have opened the registry. This is what it looks like (I indicate only the files and keys that you suggest to tweak to expose Extended Rom):

.................................................. ................................................
(Name) = (Data) == (Type)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\EXT_FLASHDRV


Bootphase = 2 == REG_DWORD
DrivePath =
LoadFlags =
Order = Drivers\BuiltIn\EXT_FLASHDRV == REG_SZ

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV

DefaultFileSystem =
Folder = Extend_ROM == REG_SZ
MountHidden = 1 == REG_DWORD
Name
PartitionDriver= FATS == REG_SZ
.................................................. ..................................................

Now, adesso, how can I modify the entries above to obtain exposition of Extended Rom ? Shall I use your indications or you suggest different ones ?

Thank you very much, Buon Natale
