Configuring Extended ROM under newly released 3.35.651.2 ROM update

[jswhite822]

Hello all,

I have a Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800/HTC Titan) and recently updated to the new ROM posted on the HTC website (3.35.651.2). I'm somewhat of a newbie, although I've done some PPC Hacking and configuring with my previous phone PPC-6700.

Unlocking the Ext_ROM on that phone and editing the config.txt file was pretty straight forward with all of the posts on sites like these. I've had trouble finding posts on unlocking the Extended ROM on the Mogul and no post on editing the config.txt file.

I eventually found a program (Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool - see attached) on this site which appears to actually be for phones on another carrier, but it does help to unhide and unlock my Extended ROM.

Upon Unlocking the Extended ROM, I encountered the following .cab and other files:

AddContact
AddContest.exe
AutoRun.exe
Config.txt
DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
GetGL.CAB
GroveMobile_plugIn.sa.CAB
Hidden.CAB
IOTA.CAB
MoveLnk.sa.CAB
Rilphone2.CAB
signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL60610.sa.CAB

And the contig.txt file (see attached) contains the following:

LOCK:Enabled
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\AddContact
CPY2:\Windows\AddContact
EXEC:\Windows\RUN_SPRINT_TSK.lnk
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\AddContacts.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_071210_7500_SPCS_2.00_PRL6061 0.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GetGL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Hidden.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\IOTA.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Rilphone2.CAB
CAB: \Windows\AudibleAir_SprintPPC.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GroveMobile_pulgIn.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
CAB: \Windows\ondemand_6800_boot.arm.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MoveLnk.sa.CAB
EXEC:\Windows\ChgScutAttri.exe
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset


My question is what is safe to remove and how can I update my config.txt file to maximize the performance of my Mogul.

Thanks.

A shame no one has responded yet, as I'd like to know the answers to these questions too! Haven't gotten around to unlocking my ROM yet, but it was quite simple on my PPC6700.

From what I know, you only need the IOTA, Hidden and signed_071210 cabs. IOTA.cab will enable Sprint data services, and signed(etc).cab/Hidden.cab installs ppst.exe and other files.

You will have to copy out your config.txt file to your computer, change the Read Only attribute, then edit as you wish. I've read you need to keep the "EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe" entry in the config.txt file as it enables something with GPS. Once you're done editing the config.txt file, enable the Read Only attribute and copy back to the Ext_ROM folder, choosing to overwrite the existing one.

I would suggest copying the contents of your Ext_ROM folder first and saving it to your SD card or desktop before deleting/modifying anything, just in case you need something later.

Hope this helped.
