Where do the ROM files come from

I had my Ext ROM unlocked some time back but never really played with it so I locked it back as I had no need for it. Recently, another member needed to know what files were in the ROM, so while I had my Ext ROM unlocked I copied them all out and too my card for safe keeping so i could install a few apps in the ROM. However, I noticed when I reboot the device that all those cab files would come back.

So my Q is where are they coming from?

Re: Where do the ROM files come from

Your ExtRom was probably unhidden but not unlocked. So you could copy the stuff, but it would come back after a reset.

No, thats called provisioning files. Those are carrier specific. Most of the ROM files are the same files no matter what carrier.

The question had to do with where those files are stored and how they reappear after a hard reset and customization interruption.

Besides, you could have saved your intro and first port for a better and more accurate answer.
