Extracted Rom files in folders?? Help please!!

I've spent 5 hours just wanting to export the O2 dialer skin to my O2 XdaIIs with WM5. I found out that I need a SkinningPpc.dll file in windows directory but it doesn't let me copy it out.
So i figured out the rom dumping (first time doing it)
Unfortunately the dumped files put SkinningPpc.dll in a directory with a few S000 S001 S002 S004 files...
How Do I Combine these files to become a real dll file I can use to move to my XdaIIs?
Please Help! I am so frustrated now.. Thanks! :shock:

I already used that tool to extract my rom and I got my dump.bin. I used the Wm5 Rom Edit tools to expand the dump.bin and got the problem above. Am I supposed to use something else to read the dump.bin so I can get the dll file I need? Thanks!!

anyone please... How do I combine the S000 S001 S002 S003 S004 files into the original dll file?

I don't know exactly how , but ....
Why don't you try to edit , with an hexa editor , a dll file and after , s000 s0001 ect ....
in example :
open in hexa editor msim.dll
open after S000 S0001 etc in msim.dll folder of dumped rom
and try to search how are the files ...

howto dump mxip_*.vol?

I need this files from the root of my running device (not windows folder)
mxip_lang.vol
mxip_notify.vol
mxip_system.vol
But I cant copy them!
Is there any way or tool to get them?

Try to dump the rom with This tool
but i don't know if the PE headers will be correct ...

hi TofClock,
this tool dumps only files in the Windows folder, but I need the files from the root.
This files are the databases of the system, the files in the windows folder are the templates for the first boot.
Also the content of the .dsm and .provxml files is writen to this databases (after first boot).
My idea is to use the finished database in a ROM and delete the .dsm files

i've just finished a dup with the tool , and in the "Files" , i've mxip_lang.vol , mxip_notify.vol and , mxip_system.vol
EDIT : **** , it should not work :/
Test that :

I've succefully copied , with built-in explorer :
- mxip_initdb.vol
- mxip_lang.vol
- mxip_system.vol
but i can't copy or rename mxip_notify.vol

does anyone how to edit those files (mostly mxip_lang.vol from /Storage folder) and how to replace them?
my phone always says that it is in use and i can not do anything with it
this is the last file I have to change to get my phone fully translated

With Sktools you can export metabases mxip_lang.vol into .xml files . Also SKtools has import function. But I don't understand how it is work. I tried to insert some new rows in metabase but sktools say: 0 records imported. May be anybody know how to import new record in metabase with sktools? Please, help me!

I successfully translate mxip_lang.vol !!! I used Sktools for dump this file. After that I translated all english records in to russian ( text file in unicode format). Then I have put DevPrepSP.exe utility ( with its configuration .xml file) and my .txt file in \Storage\MUI\ folder on my Qtek8310. I have started the DevPrepSP.exe and have added records in to mxip_lang.vol. It has worked!!!
My txt file has such format of records:
\MetabaseLabels
0#19#1;1049#31#Размер сист. шрифта:;
0#19#2;1049#31#Время нажатия:;
0#19#3;1049#31#Макет начального экрана:;

Merging all the .RGU files into the hives files ?

Hello there.
Well, i'm trying to cook a new version of my ROM (French version for the artemis) , and i saw on Faman release that there's no RGU files...
He seems to have merged all of them into the default.hv and user.hv (sys\metadata).
I've tried to do the same and merge all of my rgu files in default.hv and user.hv but phone doesn't boot anymore.
And when i look in my kitchen\temp folder, there is the two default.hv and user.hv files but when converting them back to rgu they are empty ?!
So i don't really understand what buildos do ?! Because each modification in sys\metadata hives files doesn't seem to have any effect on final ROM...
I have tried to copy this files just before launching createrom.bat but mobile still doesn't boot...
Have you got any idea on how to do that ?
Thanks
Best regards

[Tutorial][Cook]CAB Theme to OEM

Hi guys,
it took a lot of time but i figured out how to cook in a theme and make i default
What you need (would link, but i'm a new user and can't)
Theme as CAB-File
reg2provxml by ervius
package creator by ervius
What to do:
start the package creator, choose your theme-cab and convert it
inside the folder containing the cab file there ist a subfolder, named as the theme-cab (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\)
there u find a .tsk file, rename it to cab and convert this with the packagecreator
there will be an another subfolder, with has an rgu file (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\folder named like tsk)
rename the cab back to tsk
combine the rgu files and add the follwing line:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\ThemeName.tsk"
convert the rgu with reg2provxml
rename the provxml file to "mxipupdate_themename_001.provxml"
cook in and you are done, theme is loaded by default

Nice work
It will be easier if u keep ur theme file *.*.tsk as it and include it in ur Config.txt file

Click to collapse
You already got original DLL which is module (not file) or "directory" according to your definition. Now recmod it if you need a file.
