Is there a way to unhide the extended rom on a DCD rom (3.2.0)? Or is it over written when flashed? I am trying to get the apps that are on it off so I can install some of them, but can't get the extended rom to show.
Or, is there a download of them somewhere?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've upgraded to W2K5 on my XDA2. (respect to Buzz and all for their fantastic effort in making this possible) The Extended Rom is now unlocked/un-hidden
I'm confused about 1 thing. I've still got the orignal O2 extended ROM contents but after installing and hard resetting, I dont see the 'Customising' message and none of the CABs get installed.
This isnt a huge problem as I dont want most of them anyway but if I try to install them individually, the one I'm installing gives a message about removing the previously installed Customization Tools.
1. is the only way to install a few of these CABs to cook my own extended ROM?
2. Why would the original O2 extended ROM contents not even attempt to install after upgrading to W2K5/hard reset?
3. Is there a way to install individual CABs from the O2 extended ROM without the previously installed one being removed?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
you can install whatever you like but
keep in mind that some programs there will not work in BUZZmobile 2005
search the ftp for a 2577 zip files there is the best colection made for BUZZmobile by another god thats really good ;-)
maybe this is a basic question.. sorry for my ignorance...
I am asking this because I have tried almost every extended ROM, but i.e. when I installed Jasjar extended rom, after hard reset, I didn't notice/found any difference, couldn't find an imate logo, for example.
So maybe I an not installing extended ROM correctly, and installing shipped ROM would be the solution. is this possible? , .. maybe it is the same thing..
The Shipping ROM updates 3 things:
1. OS ROM
2. Radio
3. Extended
The Extended ROM just updates , the extended rom
The Splash Screen (the logo on reset) is stored in the OS ROM
To detail, You could change you Splash Screen with any sevice Provider, Just install the .cab which you could find in this forum(Skin related sub-forums).
It is stored in the upper part of the BoodLoader.. Could not be loacted in you windows but with a special tool.
thanks
I've been asking this because until now I thought that in order to try a ROM -i.e Jasjar, O2, etc - I should just copy the extended rom files of the selected ROM in Univesal's extended ROM folder, then hard reset and you are done.
But I feel like doing this you are just installing a few mods -not sure -.
So a good conclusion would be.. if I want to try Jasjar ROM, I must install Jasjar Shipped ROM?? :?

Yes as I stated above, the Shipping ROM versions include RADIO, EXTROM, OS update.
So you can install JASJAR OS but have O2 extended ROM
Does anyone know how to copy a file out of the device's ROM? I know this is possible with the ext rom. Is there some utility or trick to unlock the ROM to allow read access of these protected files?
Not that I know of, Im not posotive but even the latest ext_rom unlocker corrupted my ext_rom on the new faria 3.0.0.0 12mg pagepool rom, when some app tried to write to it...
I thought that was the problem that was fixed by the new rom unlocker, i thought i deleted the older one but may have switched them by mistake, im not 100% posotive, So I doubt this would be advisable, as you could easily corrupt it also(unless you like hard resets)
try reading up on rom cooking, it should show you how to break the rom down to its cabs, you'd just need a copy of the rom thats on your handheld.
<gotta change that sig>

anyone have an answer?
I'm using mine for PIE Cache...that way it is still on the device and trims a milisecond off my surfing plus I can let it get pretty big without worrying.
What do you use yours for?
I've been filling up my newly unlocked extended rom with all of my applications.
I am running WM Black 2.0, and there were several files in the extended rom which were run on the first bootup. Is it safe to delete these files now as long as I dont plan on doing any hard resets?
Thanks,
-Kai

Black 2.0 doesn't do anything to your EXT ROM so if you do a hard reset the OS ROM won't trigger the EXT Rom autorun.exe
You'll need to run auto.exe or the separate cab files in your ext rom yourself.
I just deleted my files from my ext rom. I keep a back up on my laptop but I wasn't using files...I only needed the shoestring cab and I used a cab to setup my carrier settings. The other stuff was crap so I dumped it.
i flashed explode 6.1 rom, and after HR the extended rom wasn't installed and i got a very thin rom.
what is the correct method to reinstall the rom + extended rom from sd card?
p.s - i solved the problem.
Ummmm ...... !

What exactly do you mean by

?
Do you mean that:
1) You haven't got all the programs installed?
or
2) You only have 40MB of 'STORAGE' ROM?
Answers:
1) You have to choose what programs / apps / etc. that you need - do a search for the EXTROM Kitchen on the XDA-Developers Wiki and choose the apps and utilities you want/need, then install any other software that you have.
or
2) You will need to flash back to WM2003 and unhide, then unlock the EXTROM on the BA (it can't be done on WM5,6) do a search, again, on the Wiki

when i reinstalled the rom i didn't copy the new file of the extended rom to the sd card and i used the one i installed the first rom with.
since it was my first reinstall i didn't notice that all the cab files from the original extended rom were delited automaticly after the installation. so i copied a fresh extended rom to sd and every thing was installed correctly.
if you want a thin install, install only the rom without the extended rom.

Got it - yeah, I always just install the ROM; I read up on what's in the EXTROM first, then I take the bits that I want and add them to my own installs - It's why I like xplode's ROMs - usually very clean, and very few 'additional' software that you may/may not want to have installed.
