Unhide & Unlock Ext_ROM

[DonQuichotte]

It seems adap is right. It turns out the Ext_ROM is'nt accessable after one more softreset, strange but true. Shame on me!

So be warned!!

Hello!

Been fiddling around with a Prophet today and found this tutorial to unhide and unlock the Ext_Rom of the Prophet. So I wonder if this will work on our beloved device too.
Well...what can I say...IT WORKED!!!
Ext_Rom is now visible under the name given, it's 8 Mb of size and full read/write accessable.

Just follow the the steps HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281992).


To safe you from trouble the changes don't work...keep in mind to turn off (standby) the PDA for a few seconds (30 s will do) before softreset.


Credits go to the guys from the Prophet section of this forum.

It would certainly be great if we are able to unhide and unlock the extended rom.

Since we have had problems in the past with theories of unlocking the extended rom that turned out to unhide the rom for a short while only to be hidden after a soft reset and with irreversible problems...can anyone say for sure that it works and stays ok after a soft reset?

I tried it and at least on my device it did not work. It revealed the Extended Storage card but it was not possible to view contents or to copy contents onto the extended rom. I should note, that I had tried earlier to unlock/unhide with a cab file so I may have messed up my extended storage.

If any one succeeds please let us know.

Hello Thomdac,

I have followed above procedure and am able to see contents but they are not editable and I cannot copy cabs to the external rom. Actually the behavior is somewhat quirky...I have managed to copy some of the files from external rom to another place but I cannot remove any cabs/files from the external rom or copy new files to the external rom. In short it seems possible to unhide the external rom but not to unlock it. Please let me know if this is your experience.

Thanks,

@apap

Hello!

With the above procedure I was able to rename files in Ext_ROM + copy a file from \My Document to \Ext_ROM.
But after a further softreset the Ext_ROM was gone.
Will try the methode to recover the Ext_ROM soon.
