Upgrade to 1.60, but extended_ROM won't let me edit anything

---

I'm new to this. Now what? I was trying to remove the TMDNL.Customizations.sa.CAB file like Akira did, but the thing won't let me cut or delete it. Neither will it allow me to edit config.txt, it just says make sure that the program isn't in use or write-protected - WTF?! It wasn't saying that before the update. Any suggestions? I'm using scarybears extended_ROM viewer btw. Is there any program that allows me to edit the registry? Thanks in advace.

get a reg editor like regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab

If you delete the value "MountFlags" (dword:00000001 == 'hidden filesystem') from the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC], this 16MByte disk gets mounted as '\Extended_ROM'.

then when connected to active sync
you can delete the files

you can edit the config.txt and just remove the line in case you want the cab file not to be deleted

Exactly where do I get that editor?

I've done that, deleted mount flags and all, and it STILL won't let me edit!

where is this protected rom area?

delete the files from your pc

not through you pda

link to active sync

and cut the files
and past them in a folder on your pc

It's useless for me~
I think the extended rom lock is being applied like the sim lock.
Upgrade OS rom or extended rom will do nothing on the lock.

I only can mount the ms_.nbf in linux, modify the file, and flash it back to the xda2

For this case , we only can mount the ms_.nbf in linux, edit the file, and flash it back to the xda2 to modify it

How do you do this exactly? I read what you and the other guy talked about in the other thread, but it wasn't too clear for me (I'm not a programmer y'know)

Care to explain it to me more thoroughly? Such as what software do I need? and what steps to take? I'm new to this stuff. It seems like only you and I have this problem y'know...and it sucks.
