Access Extended Rom

[jashsoft]

Hi all,
I want to know how to access the Extended Rom on my Magician. I tried installing Total Commander and going to "Extended_Rom" but it didn't work. I accessed it once when I hard reseted my phone and it was plugged in the USB cradle. I need to access the Extended Tom so I can make a copy of all pre-installed application setups.
Please Help.

The trick is after a hard reset, imediately do a soft reset immediately after the last screen alignment step. In this way the ext rom files are not installed and are viewable and can be copied to another partition of your device or to your pc via active sync. this procedure doesnt totally unlock the ext rom, thus you cannot delete and/or copy files from/to the ext rom partition.

In your windows directory find the exe - loadvdisk
run it
this will 'show' your extrom

Some people had written, it should work to edit the extended_rom.
But all I found don't work on the magician. There are many unlocking tools for the extended rom.
The only way seems to be the big rom, where the memory of the extended rom is added to the storage folder. But with that method you will lose the contents of the extended rom.
OK, it is possible to save it on a sd card, but i am searching for a edit-solution, so not to delete the contents but ossible to use the free 5 mb in this folder.
I hope that sometimes anyone will find a simple solution not to hard reset the magician.
