Guide to unlocking the Apache Extended - ROM

PART 1: - Viewing the Extended ROM

You will need a Registry editor.... or if you dont care how it works, you just want to see your files, skip to the end.

Backing up your registry is always a good idea before modifying.


Open your registry editor,

Browse to:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1

Change the DWORD Value of "MountHidden" to 0

now browse to

HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1

Change the DWORD Value of "BootPhase" to 2

you can now exit the editor, and soft - reset your device,

after restarting, you will be able to see the extended_ROM, through the file explorer in much the same way you can see / explore a Storage card.

You now have Read Access to Your Extended Rom,

I'll Post Part 2 containing the information on how to unlock your Extended rom for Write access shortly.


For those of you who just want to see your files,

Open notepad;

paste everything in italics into it into it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\TrueFFS1"

save as bootphase.reg


create a new text doc.

paste everything in italics into it

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"

"EnableWriteBack"=dword:00000001
"FormatTfat"=dword:00000001
