Can We please get support ext-rom

Hello Jason,<br /><br />        Since I couldn't get access to my PC I’ve mailed you the file from my PPC. I would appreciate if you could post it back as attachment here.<br /><br />Credit: Buzz - The creator of the file.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Carty..<br />

Hello Here are the files you need to unlock Apache Ext_rom. This is valid and updated for 20600_303_12700 update<br />You need two files one to unlock one to show rom on newer firmware2.06.x <br /><br />Please read all of this post before doing anything. Also I did this post very quickly so I might Of left something out please post if you have any questions.<br /><br />Run APA exe and you should get success message then immediately install unlock.ext.rom.wizard.cab then reboot go to file explorer you will see ext_rom2 you can now edit move delete, etc files. Please install unlock.ext.rom.wizard.cab to main memory has I have tried on sd and there are sometimes issues. The main purpose to use this is to remove junkware installed by Cell Company. This is the best way I found and there are other ways to get rid of junkware. Edit config.txt located in ext_rom. do this on desktop computer alot easier just because of screen size. First clear read only attrib right click properties on file untick read only then delete files in config.txt that I have bolded under config.txt before edit or just copy and paste "This is how your config.txt should look after editing file" then delete same files from ext_rom on PDA set atrib back to read only on config.txt and copy to PDA ext_rom hard reset then your done. Note Please Back up EXT_rom Before doing any of this so you can revert back to original. Also when you hard reset you will hide the ext_rom again. You can also add your own programs to ext_rom and have your files  install on hard reset but I will save that for another post.<br /><br /><br /><br />This is how config.txt looks before edit.<br />LOCK:Enabled<br />SHOW:Extended_ROMSprint_Logo.bmp<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPPST_FILE_SPCS_1_19_003_with_PRL20224.sa.CAB<br />EXEC:WindowsPPST.exe<br />CAB: Extended_ROMDirectShow.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMRTPlugin_CDMA.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCert_SPCS.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCert_SPCS.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMFetch.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMWTLAudiblePlayerPocketPC.arm.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMAudibleSample.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMGetmail.ppc2003.ARMV4Rel.sprint.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMsprint_software_store.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMGetGL.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMIOTA.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCustomize_SPCS.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMButtonLock.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMEnable_RingTone.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMDisable_RemoveProgram.sa.CAB (stops Programs Installed From Showing In ADD/Remove Programs)<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPhoneSetting_HelpFile.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPowerICON.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMTimeSnyc.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMHiddenDurationPage.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMResString.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_IOTA_v1_10_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_ErrCodeForSPCS_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPT_RemoveHTCBatteryICON_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_Version_Apac_206303.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_HTC_CM_Guardian_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_LockUp_Apac_212705.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPT_Ril_Apac_206301.sa.CAB<br />CPY1:Extended_ROMAddContact<br />CPY2:WindowsAddContact<br />EXEC:Extended_ROMAddContacts.exe<br />LOCKisabled<br />RST: Reset<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is how your config.txt should look after editing file.<br /><br />LOCK:Enabled<br />SHOW:Extended_ROMSprint_Logo.bmp<br />CAB: Extended_ROMDirectShow.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMRTPlugin_CDMA.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCert_SPCS.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCert_SPCS.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMIOTA.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMCustomize_SPCS.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMButtonLock.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMEnable_RingTone.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPhoneSetting_HelpFile.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPowerICON.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMTimeSnyc.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMHiddenDurationPage.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMResString.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_IOTA_v1_10_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_ErrCodeForSPCS_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPT_RemoveHTCBatteryICON_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_Version_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CAB: Extended_ROMPP_HTC_CM_Guardian_Apache_206300.sa.CAB<br />CPY1:Extended_ROMAddContact<br />CPY2:WindowsAddContact<br />EXEC:Extended_ROMAddContacts.exe<br />LOCKisabled<br />RST: Reset<br /><br /><br />Credit for Files: Buzz<br />

No new junkware in new ext_rom update "APA_SPCS_20600_302_12700_WWE_Test" use post written above to edit ext_rom all files still work fine to unhide rom

No New junkware in v2.06.303 ext_rom

Is it really necessary to include the AddContact information in the config.txt file? All I see that it does is to add the Customer Service number into your contacts.<br /><br />Thanks for the info. I've been looking for an updated ROM version of this.
