i've heard xda2jojo talking about newer version that doesn't require password....i'll dig in the forum...brb :wink:
"Download the latest version of windows mobile 2003 rom editor that bypass the password... "this is what xda2jojo said in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26094&highlight=
theoretically,by bypassing the password u can open any ext ROM....theoretically....ok....i didn't try it :wink:
I can open up extended rom files for the Himalaya no problem, but this too wont allow me to open extended rom files from ROMs other then the one meant for the Himalaya...so I cant open extended rom files for Magician/ Universal/ Wizard/Blue Angel...thats what I mean
thx for the effort though
sorry i couldn't help .....but i've got this idea concerning blueangel.....try unlocking the ext ROM and extract the files :wink: ....though,u still need a blueangel device,and i don't know if other device have ext ROM unlocker..
no worries
Hi,
I want to install only one program from my ext. ROM, without all the other ones.
I also don't want to cook the ext ROM, or change something permanently...
Is there anyway to access the installation files on the ext. ROM via the device and install them?
Thanks a lot
Using a registry editor -- like Total Commander -- type /ExtendedRom/ in the filepath box. It will open all the files in the extended ROM and you can then manually install the cab files you want.
I tried er2003edit to edit T-mobile 2.26 ExT rom. Cause i wanted the cabs inside the nk.nbf file file but its asking for password. I m new at this. i m reading the tutorials on this forum from morning but can't figure out how?
can any one help me ? {silly question cause this forum have people who can code anything on windows mobile }
or can i get the pass
to install latests tzone setup cab and instant messeging plz help. Thanks
Download wizard service tool (do a search, it's on here somewhere) and it has an option to download your extended ROM to your computer and then you can do what you want with the files.

Hi Guys
Is there anybody who can guide me if it is possible to replace the Ext_Rom of a WM6 with WM5 or not?!!!
Actually I had a problem with my Ext_Rom...(There's a CLEARVUE...a default program for Reading PDF files which I hate it,but I can't prevent it of being installed while costumization of WM5 ) So I wondered If I can change My Ext_Rom with the one whcih has not Clearvue inside?
If yes,then how???
Thanks
Easy.
Go to the WiKi and search for "unlocking extended ROM of Prophet".
The extended ROM is just a collection of cabs. On the Prophet (at least in WM 5 not sure if they changed it in WM 6) you can open it with a simple registry change and then manually delete or add cabs. (note that cabs must be signed to automatically install after hard reset)
I looked over the backup of my Ext_ROM (from official i-mate ROM) but could not determine which cab installs ClearView just by their names.
You could always try them manually one by one or use CECabManager (google) to see whats inside.

Hi Levenum
It's really great to have someone to help you,finally.Thanks a lot,man .Actually I know how to un-hide the Ext_Rom,but the problem is that I can't find the cab that is installing this damn Clearvue program
I'm looking for someone who guide me which Cab is responsible for that(Gives me the name of the cab.file)...or....Any hero who guide me is it possible for me to change my current Ext_Rom with the another one that is not included that damn CLEARVUE???!!!
Thank you again for helping
Heloooooooooooooo
Isn't there anybody who direct me (and many others who have got the similar problem) by just saying how we can get rid of CLEARVUE in the Ext_Rom or at least replacing it with ACROBAR READER?
I already know how to un-hide AND Unlock the extended rom...
I need only the name of the cab file (which installs CLEARVUE),...nothing more...
It's NOT installed in the ExtROM, it's installed in the "base"ROM.

Hi Black Rose
I don't care where this damn software is,and I'm not gonna debate you over it...You just tell me what s the name of the cab.file...And if you are so sure about the location,so tell me also the place of it(Base or Ext-Rom?? )
Thanks anyway
I think clearvue is pre-installed in the base ROM, so there is no cab file to delete.
For me, I just ignore that clearvue or adobe LE is there. I just went ahead and installed Adobe 2.0 and everytime I tap a pdf file, adobe 2.0 opens.
If that doesn't work for you, you can use resco explorer to assign which default prog to open any file... similar to "open with" in XP or Vista.

Hi Putra
Are you sure it's not in the Ext_Rom?Because after a hard reset,whenever I prevent the Ext_Rom of customizing my device (Stop customization),I don't have the CLEARVUE installed on my mobile.
This is why I think it must be somewhere in Ext_Rom.Even some excerpts told me that I have to replace my Ext-Rom with the one which doesn't have CLEARVUE...But he didn't tell me exactly how I can find such a extended Rom and how I can do the replacement...I also needed to know if the replacement may damage the Original Rom of my device or not?
Thanks for helping me, anyway and I would be more appreciated if you help me a little more in that.
Ok, in that case, then it should be in your extrom. However, I also do not know which is the cab file. One way is to prevent the extrom customization, and then manually install each cab from the extrom....
Why don't you just leave clearvue in your device, and simply install adobe 2.0? I don't think clearvue takes that much space...
you can edit the ext_ rom by editing the folder content in WM6
I recomend to use winimage to edit extrom, it will lock the ext rom

HI Chopin
Thanks a lot for helping me to solve this problem,but wou,d you pease elaborate a little bit more...After all,I'm a newbie!!!!!
Just tell me what's this WINIMAGE and also tell me if I would be able to find the cab file of CLEARVUE within my Ext_Rom to erase it or not?!?!
Thanks again
winimage to use with extension.nb, as anewbie let forget how to use this one. if you need to kow, use search you;ll find a lot about how to use this one.
just look in the folder and remove it, or just edit the file Config.txt and remove the cab you don;t wanna install, it is so easy and don't need any clarification.
tell me what ROM do you use

OFF TOPIC: Hi Chopin, can you explain how I can edit the contents of the extrom on WM6?
edit the files. delete any cab you want and instert anycab you want in the folder, but if you add a cab file then edit the file config.txt and and enter the cab file in it

Oops, I meant how do I unlock and unhide the extrom in WM6. What prog do I use?
The last time I tried using WM5 tools on PdaViet 01, it didn't work. I have not tried again. I'm on Gullum v6, btw.
if this is what you want here is the files for unlock, and please ask me more if this was not what u needed
Ok, thanx. I'll try them...
Stop off-topics...let's talk about main topic
Hi dear friends
I noticed that we have been a little been off-topic,so I wanted to recall that we are here to help each other to find a way for "HOW WE CAN DELETE ANY CAB(In my case...CLEARVUE's cab file)INSIDE THE EXT_ROM OR CHANGE IT WITH ANOTHER CAB(Again in my case changing default CLEARVUE with ADOBE ACROBAT)?????
My friends
I even checked the Config.text file within my Ext_Rom,but unfortunately even there was no name and trace of CLEARVUE?!?!!??But I' sure it must be there...since when I stop my device of being costumized after a hard reset,I never see this CLEARVUE in my programs...So that means it must be somewhere in Ext-Rom..Somebody...Some hero....some know-all tell me where?????And under what name?!?!??!??!??!?!?
please, we already answer this question, to help you more, what ROM do you use?
Hi, ive been trying to customise my extended ROM using the guides layed out in this forum however, most of the files i need to do this i cannot download as for some reason any .zip or .rar files over 15Mb's or so end up corrupt but anyway.
I found a guide on how to bypass the extended ROM (hard reset device, soft reset before the Extended ROM begins to install) then install the various cab files manually using Total Commander from here: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
however, when i do the above and then run total commander i am unable to locate the "\Extended_ROM\" directory with the cab files. Any suggestions? im running a:-
qtek2020i on vodafone
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.142 WWE (obviously this part doesnt appear at the moment =]
Probably a silly questions and i have tried searching for the info to no avail.
cheers
EDIT. i also do not have "hide files in ROM" selected
Any ideas anyone i have followed every directive there is and i cannot get the extended rom to appear, why?
if i run total commander and type in \\EXTENDED_ROM or even \EXTENDED_ROM (even written it as Extended_ROM; extended_rom etc) yet nothing appears.
I tested it for other folders ie storage and once "storage" had been typed into the address bar it takes me to that directory. so would that then suggest my extended rom is else where? i have searched for files over 60kb's, files with .cab extensions, "hidden" and "unhidden" ROM files and im lost. Sorry folks but its not a matter of being lazy or being retarded and it had an extended rom in the first place so wtf is going on?

To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.
Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...
