Hello,
I would like to extract the T9 DLLs from a WM2005 image (WM2k5_1.60a_XDA2_HIMALAYA).
I found some related links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19569
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/spv-romlayout.html
None of these links has helped me though. I did get the nk.nba file. Dumprom doesn't seem to support extracting files from this type of rom, and I don't understand what additional steps I need to go through to do this. Can anyone give some additional clues how I can extract T9*.dll?
I've tried the search function to find this, but didn't find anything really useful. It surprises me, as I thought it would be a common question. Please let me know if there is some description of this that I didn't find when searching.
see http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/dumprom/rdmsflsh.pl
it is not yet completely finished, i still have to figure out how to decompress data.
you have to fiddle a bit with the parameter of the script i think
and you have to extract the mflsh50 image to a separate file first.
the script does not automatically find the starting offset of the msflsh50 filesystem.
and see http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ for nbfutils.

thanks for your help. sadly to say, this is a new area for me. I'd appriciate some more help if possible.

Does that mean it's not yet possible to extract the dlls I asked for?

I think you lost me here . Should I first extract this msflsh50 file? (how?) Then proceed working with this file? A step-by-step guide would be much appriciated
i wrote a wiki page describing how to analyze the rom:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TyphoonWM2005_RomStructure
will make something similar for himalaya.
In this page , you wrote :
then you can extract the contents of the xip files using DumpRom
mkdir files1 files2
dumprom -5 -d files1 xip1.nb
dumprom -5 -d files2 xip2.nb

the "-5" option is in a new version of dumprom ?

Thanks! However it didn't work as I thought.
Here's what I did:
1. Downloaded "WM2k5_1.60a_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar", and extracted "nk.nbf"
2. xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304
3. dumprom -d files -5 -v nk.nba
Code:
img 00000000 : hdr=900c898c base=900c0000 commandlineoffset=9007ffc0
img 00180000 : hdr=80307a2c base=80040000 commandlineoffset=7fffffc0
block 1 added buf=00440020 02000040
NOTE: removing 941651ee from e32 struct for nk.exe

...
So this doesn't appear to work very well. Is nk.nba the same as nk.bin? What am I doing wrong?
THATS TOTALLY AWESOME itsme THANKS FOR CREATING THIS Script .. it is really COOL .. TNX ..

for the meantime you can successfully extract the kernel Files of Wm2005 using dumprom -5 .. and you can analyze and extract some files of MSFLASH section of Wm2005 using the rdmsflsh.pl and -t HIMA parameter
-toe
problem is that dumprom does not handle multiple XIP sections in one rom very well.
that is why you should first extract them using
Code:
dump wm2005.img -o 0x400 -e 0x200400 xip1.nb
dump wm2005.img -o 0x210000 -e 0x3e3278 xip2.nb
other than that, dumprom says 'ERROR' maybe a bit too often, when it is not really an error.

Are you saying you managed to extract all files from "WM2k5_1.60a_XDA2_HIMALAYA.rar"? It didn't work for me
xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf NK.nba 0x20040304

This works fine, at least no error indications.
dumprom -5 -d files_ipl ipl.nb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This extracts nk.exe (not sure if it's valid or not).
dumprom -5 -d files_kernel kernel.nb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This extract a bunch of files, they seem valid (I can see some exports from the dlls etc)
dumprom -5 -d files_MSFLSH50_1 MSFLSH50_1.nb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This gives an error message: unable to determine loading offset for MSFLSH50_1.nb
dumprom -5 -d files_MSFLSH50_2 MSFLSH50_2.nb
Click to expand...

This just hangs forever eating all my CPU
Any ideas? Can anyone share the T9 dlls?
files_MSFLSH50_2 MSFLSH50_2.nb
is not a XIP type rom section.
you can extract it partially using rdmsflsh.pl, but rdmsflsh.pl is not entirely finished. it cannot extract compressed files.

Ok , i've succefully installed the XdaDev::NbfUtils package

@TofClock
im so sorry if i mislead you ..
it should be "-t hima" not "-t HIMA" not capital letter as

make sure also to run the vcvars32.bat .. ..

I'm learning rom building.
I used Rommaster.exe to extract XIP.BIN from nk.nba.But nothing (had not xip.bin-no thing).I made Bat file with code:
Code:
RomMaster.exe -w 5 -b 0x001C0080 nk.nba -x -o xip.bin >nul
mkdir XIP
dumprom xip.bin -5 -d XIP >nul
But only XIP Folder was made.In XIP folder- no thing.
=>>>Please help me how to extract XIP.BIN From nk.nba???
Thanks a lot.

Hi all , i am a new android user and would like to have a go a biulding some custom roms, Now i have no experiene with linux.. well the last 3days.. lol, and i have read the how to make a hero rom txt from the vogue - hero site and while that maybe suffucient for others to get up and away with rom building its not for me, So i am wondering if there is a more in depth step by step guide for not only a new android user but a new linux user also, would be very much appreciated
ok so there hasnt been much of a respone so ill share the steps i have so far
1. I installed Ubuntu linux ( Dual Boot with win 7 )
2. Needed to know how to install Squashfs did a search on google found this
A) open terminal window ( Ubuntu start menu, accessories )
B) type: sudo aptitude search squashfs , u will be prompted for password
this is what happened with mine:
[email protected]:~$ sudo aptitude search squashfs
[sudo] password for ali3nfr3ak:
i squashfs-tools - Tool to create and append to squashfs filesystems
C) type this command:sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools
My Dialog ( ihad to uninstall and then reinstall to get this so mine will be alittle different to
yours
[email protected]:~$ sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools
Reading package lists... Done

Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up squashfs-tools (1:4.0-1) ...
[email protected]:~$
C) all done close terminal i type: exit
3: Next for testing purposes download this Google-Android-Ion-v1.5-2009-10-23-sdcard-not-google-apps and etract this and placed a copy of system.sqsh into it s own directory
4: i then opened another terminal window ( easier to copy and paste show you what my window looks like
[email protected]:~$ dir
Desktop Documents Downloads examples.desktop HERO Music Pictures Public Templates Videos
[email protected]:~$ cd HERO
[email protected]:~/HERO$ dir
Testing
[email protected]:~/HERO$ cd Testing
[email protected]:~/HERO/Testing$ dir

[email protected]:~/HERO/Testing$ unsquashfs system.sqsh

created 45 directories
created 0 symlinks
created 0 devices
created 0 fifos
[email protected]:~/HERO/Testing$ dir
squashfs-root system.sqsh
[email protected]:~/HERO/Testing$
basicially u can use the same commands as windows but with out the / and the spelling and Capitial letters have to be exact
Windows
/dir
/cd hero
Linux
dir
cd HERO
A new folder is created called squashfs-root which has all the files/ folders from the system.sqsh u just decompressed ( my description )
and that is a far as i have got so far

Ok thank you very kindly.. just got in from milking the cows, so ill give this a blast
Code:
genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2
the -a does work when you use the right genext2fs from the sdk or from pulling the android source and building it. the genext2fs i had uploaded uses the -a but you need to have it in your path before the generic genext2fs gets used or directly execute it. i keep it in /root/bin and execute it from there.
Code:
~/bin/genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2
the -a is for making android specific images and sets correct permissions
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2888561/porting/genext2fs
make sure you set it to executable
Code:
chmod 755 genext2fs

Code:
genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2
the -a does work when you use the right genext2fs from the sdk or from pulling the android source and building it. the genext2fs i had uploaded uses the -a but you need to have it in your path before the generic genext2fs gets used or directly execute it. i keep it in /root/bin and execute it from there.
Code:
~/bin/genext2fs -d ./system -b 180000 -a system.ext2
the -a is for making android specific images and sets correct permissions
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2888561/porting/genext2fs
make sure you set it to executable
Code:
chmod 755 genext2fs

damn zen i bet that has been half my battle with the power wake ups. i just ported a rom last night and got the power wakeups.
recreated it today with your genext2fs with -a and it booted right up thanks
I wanted to try testing some stuff using the emulator (not hardware related, obviously). Does anyone know if there a standalone tool for making yaffs2 filesystems (for system.img), or is my only option to install android source and compile it all?

woohoo got a booting image ,lol keeps telling me process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly, lots of times probably all those google packages i removed ...oh well i have a start now thanks jamezelle without your help wouldnt have happened
Thought you might want to take a look at this little script I made: ROM porting
Today, I was trying to backup my HP Ipaq 614. To do so, I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
and this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2832898&postcount=2
But the problem is that I don't get the parts. Everything seems to work fine, no errors or something, but no raw files.
I'm working on a Windows 7 and I used CMD in administrator mode.
An other question is what I have to do with those raw files. Do I have to put them in a kitchen and if so, which kitchen do I have to use?
Thanks in advance
Solution
After a lot of research I found a solution.
In this topic I found that there is a tool to dump the rom to diskimage_ver.nb0. This file have to be renamed to flash.dio and then it's just the normal way of flashing with an SD card.
About the first problem, not necessary but anyway, you have to typ
Code:
CD /D C:\itsutilsbin\
pdocread.exe -w -d TRUEFFS -p Part00 0 0x14fc00 Part00.raw
pdocread.exe -w -d TRUEFFS -p Part01 0 0x1e0000 Part01.raw
pdocread.exe -w -d TRUEFFS -p Part02 0 0x4cbc000 Part02.raw
And not C:\itsutilsbin\pdocread.exe -w -d TRUEFFS -p Part00 0 0x14fc00 Part00.raw etc.

Checking in tools/ subdirectory Sugar QCT_SP v11.1.2 (after installation), there are Idol35_5_NPRG7627.bin and Idol34_7_NPRG7627.bin files (among many other models). Trying :
Code:
emmcdl -p ttyUSB0 -f Idol35_5_NPRG7627.bin -b recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-idol3.img
indeed installed TWRP 3.2.1
It also works for dumping partitions (didn't try restore) :
Code:
emmcdl -p ttyUSB0 -f Idol35_5_NPRG7627.bin -d recovery -o backup-recovery.img
I guess it should be possible to even replace MobileUpgradeQ if we can catch the files and write an Sahara XML file.
The OTUUpgrade log made by MUQ could help a lot for this...
GNU+Linux :
The latest revision from the linked Git repo above won't build (missing files) I had to use previous revision :
Code:
git checkout 05a9615a5b70334d14f95fd194b0f34d482d3803
and correct symlinks for newer automake and probably running "autoreconf".
Windows :
I don't know what the primary download site would be, there are emmcdl.exe around the Net...
And there's this Sahara GUI tool, but seems to require writing a XML file just for writing a partition...
By the way, one can use adb to switch the phone to EDL (no more crushing volume buttons while inserting USB cable) :
Code:
sudo adb reboot edl
after flashing recovery i want the phone to boot to system again. i get Status: 6 then handle is invalid when i add -r.
my vivo v9 bootloader is lock and until now, no one manage to unlock it. i have even send to repair shop to unlock bootloader. they using mrt dongle, but unsuccessful
if i obtained firehose for my phone and dump the boot.image using emmcdl,
can i modify the boot.img using magisk and flash back using emmcdl.
will it work?
i have tried to dump devinfo.img successfully.

If the bootloader accepts the modified boot.img I guess it could work.
Switching between SailfishOS and LineageOS works here by writing their respective boot.img without requiring fastboot, rooting or unlocking OEM in Android.
Difficult to say in advance what will work on each specific device...
Make sure you backup first, and have a way to reset/reinstall the phone if things go wrong.
Could i read and write any qualcomm phone with emmcdl..??
emmcdl (or more modern and maintained edl tool) should be able to flash any qcom device for which you have a suitable "flash programmer" file.
"Suitable" meaning that the device recognizes it as correctly signed by the OEM/vendor, or that signature verification is disabled in which case you can use a generic programmer file adapted to the SoC of the device.
Hi all, I wrote a 2022 update on how to put the phone into a fastboot state using the edl tool mentioned by vknecht above (btw, thank you so much for all your hard work over the years!)
