Unlocking/Unhidding the extended_rom for the Mogul ???

[moyboyzr2]

Ok...I have tried several different cab file from every site...PPCGeeks, PDAphone...I have not yet found the file that will unlock and unhide the extended rom for the HTC 6800. Has anyone been able to do this yet. PLEASE HELP !!!!

You can use a RegEditor to unhide the ExtROM... but IIRC no one has unlocked the ExtrROM to edit it...

\\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \

change MountHidden=0, exit the RegEditor then Soft Reset

thank you to show us how2 do that. ;-)

I did the steps using PHM RegEdit.
Then navigate to the location:
\\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \
then change the value (default at 1) to 0.

I then did a Soft Reset -- but no joy. I don't see the drive. Thoughts?

I'm a COMPLETE newbie- but i think (from reading so far) you need to wait at least a minute for any reg changes to be committed before you soft reset.

Did you wait that minute?

Hmm -- well originally I sure didn't. However, I did the hack again and then waited.
And now we have JOY!! Thanks. :)

What can this extended ROM offer us?

Nothing until it is unlocked and we are able to write to it. Then it will offer a few more megs of ram to install apps to.Or you could set up your own apps you use to start like the Sprint customizations do.
