Hi,
I follow many of the procedure present in this forum for rom dumping, I now have a dump of my mpx220 rom divided in 4 files.
Using tool dumprom I only be able to obtain the files from the first rom image but offset error for the other ones. The problem is that i don't know the xip partition of this rom image and I'm not able to split into several parts.
Every one could help me?
thanks

Hi,
Just two questions.
1)I runned the Mkrom.sh and when building it it comes with the
error ' operator rom not found' but continues.
Then there's only a .nb1 file build which has a size of 32,243,712.
I don't know if this is correct !????
Is it a problem the operator roms are not found for a working rom???
2) Is it possible to delete, maybe even extract files from an image to
clean it so you get more space for your own programs?
hopefully any can answer these......

There should be both an nbf file of 32505888 bytes and an nb1 file of 32243712 bytes. So the size for the .nb1 seems correct.

I'm not sure I understand the problem enough to be sure. Itsme, who made the tool, has left for a well-deserved two-week holiday, so I guess this will have to wait if you can't figure it out for yourself.

Yes, extraction is possible using the dumprom tool described in another thread. Deletion of files to save space would take some hacking and slashing of your own. We do plan to make some more intricate ROM manipulations more easy once we clean up and publish more tools.
@XDA developer Peter Poelman
I'm glad the size is correct.
Just tried it again and only the .nb1 file is created, not the .nbf !!!
Is it possible to convert a .nb1 to a .nbf file??
Is the XDA ROM Tool able to write to USB SD-card reader/writers?
(could be an option to generate a valid .nbf)
thx
[ I split this topic away from the main Special Edition v1.1 thread, as it's not primarily about that. I will probably start doing this more as topics grow larger. ]
Yes, you can use XDArit to write an nb1 to SD, and then read SD to nbf. Easier tools for this exist, and we've even built the beginnings of one (which we haven't yet released).
If you have the SD, you could also just use the bootloader to burn the contents to flash.
Hi,
I am new to this site and have been reading various posts and sites trying to piece this together, but I definitely have areas in which I am confused.
Please correct anything I have wrong.
I have a xv6700 and been attempting to extract the ROMs out of curiosity.
If I am correct these (HTC) phones have 3 separate ROM sections.
ROM - main OS
Extended ROM - Provider add ons
Radio ROM - Deals with radio hardware specific to the device
I used mamaich's TestDump.exe to dump what I assume is my main ROM. This file was 60 meg.
I then used dumprom -5 to extract files from this image file. I read some where that the imports table may be shifted by a DWORD but for example coredll.dll looks fine.
The resulting files don't look to be the whole OS.
For example: Some programs I downloaded have imports from cellcore.dll which is missing from my dump.
Are this the appropriate path for extracting the ROM?
I have seen mention of unlocking the Extended ROM and have looked at a download of said Extended ROM. It does appear to contain cabs related to provider software.
What is in the Radio ROM and how does one extract it?
There are also some terms I can't seem to find definitions for, mostly file types.
I have downloaded other ROMs in order to study them and have seen these types.
.nbk
.nba
PRL
PRI
I really want to understand the OS before I consider modifying it. Has anyone been successful modifying the ROM for this phone?
Thank you for any help provided and will gladly take links to the information. I am not looking to be spoon fed information but rather I am a fellow traveler asking for directions.
dumprom can dump files only from XIP section
You should use my viewimgfs tool to dump files from IMGFS section or rdmsflsh.pl script by itsme. itsme's script reconstructs DLLs to a normal form that are ready for decompilation.
Hi, I am beginner here, can any one help me to create a nbf file from sd dumped rom? or you can also tell me how to do that. thanks in advance!!!
SD dumped rom is here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Dumped_ROMs/o2mini_1.12.07_CHS.zip
What do you want to do with this .nbf. For backup/restore purposes the .nb1 is sufficient.
You can try it with nbfdec, but I don't know what it does with a dumped rom. I use it to decode & encode the nk.nbf contained in a shipped-rom. For nbfdec get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7603
Cheers, M
oltp, thanks for your respose, i have tried nbfdec and finally I got a nk.bf from the SD dumpped rom. but it seems this nk.bf is different with the one contained in shipped rom. my purpose for doing that is to custom the extended rom with that SD dumped rom. but I don't konw how to separate all nbfs (ms_.nbf, nk.nbf, etc)from the dumpped rom.
Take a look @ the ftp & see if your current rom is available as a shipped-rom. If so start with the shipped-rom & try it with that.
Or use bal666's tool HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool_v1.1.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=8015. He made one to convert the ext-rom part of a rom-dump to a fat-image, which you can mount & change.
Succes, M
unfortunately, there is no shipped-rom for o2mini_1.12.07_CHS.zip...so my problem is to separate ms_.nbf and nk.nbf from dumpped-rom.
how could i do that with HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool_v1.1.zip?
does any one know how to break dumped-rom into two nbfs(nk.nbf, ms_.nbf)? or is there any other way to create two nbfs?
Hello,
The available original shipped ROMs for the HTC Hermes have .nbh files with the RUU, instead of the usual .nbf files found in other HTC rom updates:
By now, there are two shipped ROMs available, containing:
HERMIMG_Dopod_1.23.707.1_SHIP.nbh
hermimg_QtekNOR_1.18.255.3_Ship.nbh
So, it seems that the usual nk.nbf file is no longer used by the Hermes RUU
I cannot extract the various rom components (ExtROM, OS, IPL/SPL, SplashScreen, GSM radio, etc...) out of these files using the usual TyphoonNbfTool, however maimach's prepare_imgfs finds the imgfs and dumps it apparently ok, but it cannot be read using viewimgfs or itsme's rdmsflsh.pl, so I guess the dumped file is invalid.
Anybody knows about this new format?
is it possible to convert it to nk.nbf so we can cook our own roms?
Would it be possible for example to extract the radio rom from Dopod and replace it on QtekNOR rom?

EDIT: I posted the same on TyTN Upgrading forum and there's some more info... ignore this post and continue the thread here:

Hi,
do you know a way to convert a .nbf file to .nbh? i want to flash the cortulla's ROM on my HTC magician using your flasher tool.
Hello
I wanted to convert a dumped rom into a flashable one.
So i tooked the part02 and used imgfstodump to create the dump folder
then i used pkgtool to create the two folders: oem and sys.
I copied them to udk's kitchen after renaming the original folders (that came with the kitchen)
then i ran the buildos.exe and build rom.bat
I flash my polaris with the new created nbh
But surprise:
It didn't boot
It got stucked at the boot screen showing me the versions.
(i had to flash from sd to make it work again)
Can someone tell me what did i do wrong ?
Or can someone make a tutorial on how to backup your original configuration, and make it ready to flash ? (i mean rom, spl and anything that might be neded)
Thanks in advance.
LE:My phone is from Orange and i unlocked it long time ago, but these days i convinced someone to dump the files from another orange phone.
I will get the files in a few days, but i figured i would do some tests before that and i used for the above procedure a dump from a forum member
Dump_Rom_Htc_Touch_Cruise_styprod_SFR_original_vodafone_FRA.rar.
Would that have been the problem ?
can anyone help me pls
i think a wiki on recontrsuction of dumped rom will be great adition.
