I have a wizard (qtek 9100) with the latest german rom, a2dp enabled wifi g mode enabled, overclocked constantly to 240, softskey installed and some more...
all in all, the device runs soomth, and works quite well...

Recently I stumbled upon a website or post somwhere describing a method to release some "hidden" storage memory...
I missed to bookmark the page and can't recall where the heck it was...
maybe it was just some dream ;) wishful thinking and all.
but I still believe that I've read about that...

it's just a few megs... but any little bit helps ;) (btw I use a 2GB sandisk minisd as main document storage...)


thanks

I believe you're talking about the extended_rom (10MB) which was only writable in ROMs with IPL/SPL below 1.06 (excluded)

There are registry tweaks to unhide that partition or my tool (see signature) who does it automatically

The only way to get those 10MB is to sacrifice the extended_rom files (used upon hard-reset) by creating your own 10MB FAT16 image with the files of your choice and then flash it with a RAPI tool. But you won't be able to edit them, only read...

cheers

oh thanks...

well I must have gotten it wrong, as I really just quickly read it inbetween to business events that day... and it has bugged me ever since as I thought "damn 10 more megs" ;)
whatever

thanks again
