xbackup file extractor available

Hi all!
I've developed a generic backup file explorer program that also supports the xbackup file format.
Don't you know if I need/where to ask for permission from HTC do keep the xbackup support in the application before putting my app online?

I think it's better you put it here is ok.

Put it somewhere and execute it. It’ll restore your files in a subdir named RestoredFileSystem
Please note that this is really an alpha version – no error handling, no database/registry restoration etc. Also, ignore the access violation error at the end.

Thank you
Thank you heaps - it saved my ... file!!!
thanks!!!!

adding voices to tomtom 5

Hi,
After many hours of trying to get tomtom to work on my mini s I finally did it. Only one problem now is hopw do i get the voice files to work? I have transfered the voice cabs that i want over to the device and storage card and ran from there. Installed perfectly but still no voices within tomtom? What am i doing wrong?
cheers

Well, in the directory u find tomtom directory, make a new sub-dir with the name tomtom and put the voice files there.

so i put the new "tomtom" folder in mydocuments/tomtom?
eg.
my documents/tomtom/tomtom
then do i install from here?
cheers

Hi!
@ferritt: I'm really wondering why your TomTom Setup is so complicated (compared to mine)... Most of us just copied the correct voice.cab (UK Janes file is called engf.cab) to the device and started it (NOT installing to the Storage Card).
It creates a folder under /My Documents -> tomtom with the following files in it -> CurrentMap.dat, data02.chk (that should read data05.chk for english Jane) and data02.vif (data05.vif).
Final view:
/My Documents/tomtom/
CurrentMap.dat
data05.chk
data05.vif
Hope this helps.
Greetings

see what i have mate is the voice files (cab) from my tomtom 5 cd. But also i have the .chk files aswell on another tomtom cd which is the only one i could get working. so should i just put them into the .chk files ionto the tomtom folder?
cheers

It is perfectly possible to install everything to the Storage Card. There's a complete walkthrough here (for the Universal, but the Wizard is very similar)

[Q] iPaq hw6915 English ROM

Hi!
Can anybody grab own English ROM, zip'ed it and send to me?
How to do it describes here:
Setup
- rename 'grab_it_xx.exe' to 'autorun.exe'
- create folder '2577' on your (better empty) Mini-SD card (You need card more then 128 Mb)
- copy 'autorun.exe' to this folder
That's it for the "setup"
Usage
Now every time, when you insert this card into PPC it will grab the ROM image and save it into root of the card as 'dump.bin'.
On my French device this tool asks me the confirmation. Once done, it will beep the default sound. After release card may be error message "Can't create card" - ignore it. Message boxes are only shown in case of error.
IMPORTANT NOTE (thanx MDAIIIuser)
YOU MUST NOT put it back into another device!!!
YOU MUST read the SD with card reader on your desktop PC.
Otherwise, you will rewrite the dump with your own ROM!!!!
This ROM dump file can be then further processed and converted to flashable formats. It is very good for compress.
Tool is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1119937614

I have successfully changed OS language follow by steps described by Drahtman
BTW Thank you man! You are the king!
I would also thank wikidorg and many of you people for your shared knowledge.
Conclusion is so simple and so funny at the same time. Before you start, always RTFM
To get process more easy and lazy I have added files I used to change the language:
CEOS.rar english OS (the real one not the fake!)
aWizard_1.2.zip - contain everything what Drahtman described
SpbPocketPlus4_setup.exe
You can reach this compressed packet over here.

Once you have it just follow by Drahtman steps.
Good Luck

Making a backup

hi all, i'm trying to make a ROM backup of my device following this metod:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom
I've extracted the .raw files, created the imgfs_raw_data.bin and dumped the ROM, but when i try buildimgfs.exe command i get the classic win32 error and the application crashes..
any suggestions?
tnx

I am having the same exact problem... i really dislike those semi dos promt tools.. its alway a question of running and praying...
userfriendlyness is also something the people here could be looking into....though im grateful for their working apps
Ill be looking into the thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327073 for answers.. Ill keep you posted

Ok i checked the thread.
Seems a lot of people have the same error and not much is said about the error.
but this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2277527&postcount=95
Seems the BuildImgfs.exe command just repacks the files in a similar .bin file.
So its only to be used when coocking i guess
The value of repacking is when you change files.
Hope this clears it up for you!

I also downed Hypercore, which is totally unusable.
At least i do NOT understand the first tutorial!
It says to put a rom file in a certain dir and then start dumprom... but no matter which file i put in the HyperCore\Extract\Source dir it says it cant find the right file (Ive tried 04_os.nb, imgfs_raw_data.bin, Part02.raw, RUU_signed.nbh and RUU_Pharos_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1_4.1.13.59_03.15.90_BLUE_Ship.exe nothing, nada, zip, zilch, the big "O", niente)
so there is a big thank you for writing a tutorial which doesnt tutor. hey im not an engineer... just a user pppfffff... ever hear of ... userfriendlyness? usability?

That's correct! You just need to skip the two steps that create the Dump folder and then use the buildimgfs command. It worked for me after I was having the same problem with buildimgfs (for my Elfin).
BTW.. Sorry to bump this old thread.. Just thought it would help others out.

Folowing instructions ???
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
All ok, but someone need to make the stiky, with svreenshots and exact steps like you type this comp will do that
for example I was confused with FLASHDR, at my PHAROS that was "DSK1:" WITH ":" ????? Interesting, isnt it ?
P.S.
For admins :
Sory for bad english and tel me or let me make picture detailed manual for dumping roms. I am not bad with computer and mobile phones but this manual confused me at first
And another P.S.
I dumped my P3470 - Pharos english rom but i can not login on ftp, if someone need rom, PM me.

wikipedia to go on the X1 ?

Hey guys found a software called Taxi which can use a dump file to use wikipedia ofline on handheld oder Pocket Pc running WM.
But I don't get it.
I want to install the German Version, since the english one is a lil to big for my Sd Card.
Would be happy about any help or hint.
Ps. My problem is, I download the file ( xml) and try to convert it with taxi converter but it says error ^^ heeelp!!!!!!

Wikipedia on the go with Mobipocket!
Hello,
I use the Mobipocket e-book Reader which can be downloaded for free here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/application.asp?device=WindowsMobile
And the Wiki-Files can be found here:
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/wikipedia/mobile/ebooks/
Some infos for all the possibilitys for Wikipedia on the go can be found here (in German):
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unterwegs
After installing Mobipocket there will be a folder called "ebooks" created in the Phone Storage.
I have moved the Folder to the "Root Directory ("\") of my Storage Card.
In this folder you have to put the "e-Book files"!
So Mobipocket should detect the e-Book files with the Standard Parameters after installing! (I didn't have to edit any Parameter in Mobipocket!)
Works great for me!

one more question.
I downloaded a *.tgz file 1,4 Gb do i have to unpack that on my sd card in a special folder ?
greets
