Hello,
It's already a long time ago since i needed a Dutch ROM for the HP 6xx series, i can't ind this anywhere but now i finally have a Dutch device.
so now i heard something about ROM Dumping, i also understood that this has something to do with pdocread.
but as the rookie ( maybe even ''noob'' ) that i am, i want to ask the following question, how do i dump my dutch rom, what programs do i have to use or that, and is installing a Dutch rom the same thing as flashing it to your device? or do i have to convert files to .dio format?
all help is welcome!
post scriptum,
i got the 614 in every language available right now, so if you do me the favour for guiding me through this dumping, ill upload all the ROMS of any language you want, i got almost every language.
sincerley, alex
ok, i used DUMP TOOLS now and in the ''manual''of dump tools
it says i have to copy dump_gene_os_extrom.exe
to my device, i did this.
it also said that i needed a minimum of 70MB.
after like 5 minutes the device copied data to the storage card
im using a 1 gb micro SD of kingston.
now, it already copied 716mb on the SD card and growing.
i cant imagine a rom any bigger then like 120MB.
i tried alot of things so could someone please help me?
im willing to donate if anybody wants money for their time, no problem.
you are not using the correct dump tool, there is specific dump tool for 61x here. You need to connect to computer with activesync to use it

Thank you very much for this, it really helped me, i retreived the following files now from my device :
- diskimage_Ver.nb0
- part2.nb0.payload
- part2.nb0.payload.part1
- part02.raw
the files standing above, are the files that where retreived from my Dutch hp 614, now i want this rom, on my other 614 that ain't Dutch.
i already tried to rename the diskimage_Ver.nb0 to > flash.dio, then flashed that file into my 614, after that whas done it got stuck at the startup screen.
so is anybody prepared to help me out and tell me how i can get it to work.
P.S. for the ones that are going to link me to the thread where someone links to a Dutch ROM, that one doesnt work, it doesnt go any further then the start up screen.
if there's people that want money for their help thats absolutely no problem.
i just want my pda restored and dutch.
thank you in advance.
that is weird...it should work
anyway can you flash custom rom like my 6.5 or sergiorus 6.1 without problem?
also post your result from executing this command when your device is running a working rom:
pdocread -l
and
pdocread -t

If you want to patch any ROM like the one of Alex Anansky...
...download my aplicatión and do it now!!
It's so easy... read the instructions in the file "HowTo.txt".
Bye ;-)
Something tells me that something's fishy here.
Some guy from nowhere with only 4 posts comes up with a "breakthrough" utility and doesn't give any explanation but "download my aplicatión[sic]... Bye!"
The attachment's removed now (not by me).
OK... you lose it...
If somebody want's it... Follow this...
http://www.todophonedition.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=4808#4808
It's a spanish site about PhoneEdition PDA's... I moderate the programing forum.
Bye
MKS,
could you explain more on how it works!
I apologize if I sounded harsh, but this site has gone through a lot of problems from individuals repeatedly deleting things off the FTP, spamming or advertising for porn in the threads, and more.
This site needs to be moderated or protected a little better if it's going to thrive. It needs good people with good understanding, patience, and the willingness to share so we can get things that our manufacturers are not providing properly.
So, thank you for the attachment and link as I will test it out shortly.
Now come on, tell us something about you and how you did it. Or did you only find it yourself? If so: where?
So with this i can add and remove any Ext rom i want?
If that so, then its great!! now i can add IIWPO and Ext rom?
Can i?
the strange thing is if i rename any file to rom.nb1 and run the program, it will create a file with the size of 63MB rom file... is that normal MKS?
Just remember that the NB1 file will have to be 64MB since your Magician/JAM's ROM size is 64MB and it will SD-flash everything, from the CE portion to the Radio to the Extended ROM and Storage area.
Oh! it is necessary to obtain a Microsoft Certificate to upLoad some aplicatións here? :lol:
OK... I do not send many mensages in this forum... but I have been reading it for a long time... watch my date of registry. :wink:
Well, first... The size of the file is correct. Magician ROM does not occupy exactly 64Mb.
When you download the ROM to one 64Mb SD card, a few bytes at the end are single to fill the SD size. But these bytes are not necessary.
The ROM really finishes in the string "HTCE" before arriving at the 64 Mb.
I have trimmed the resulting file to do it easier to handle.
OK...This is everything at the moment. This weekend I have much work... In the next week I tell more to you.
It is possible that I even sends the source code to you too :wink:
Bye.
thanx alot for the HOWTO-method on "bigStorage" 8)
you have compared between original nb1 and the hacked one then you figured out the Anansky's code

Yes, something similar to that... But it's not so simple. I need some info from the xdaDevelopers WIKI's too. And a lot of tests over my Magician with diferent ROM versions & languages.
Probably in the next week I will upload the source code.
Bye :wink: .
Great job dude :wink:
I'm downloading the file now... and I can't wait to create my own BIG-Storage ROM
cheers

Hi MKS,
I tried yr program on my Imate w/ Traditional Chinese "Dopod818_1110_153_11100_Ship" Rom and it doesn't work.
Steps that I did
1. Back up the Dopod TC rom to my 256mb SD using romupdate.exe w/ d2s command
2. use ntrw to write the rom on my hd
3. using yr program to modify the rom
4. write the modified rom back to the SD
5. The Jam report Section = 1 error and doesn't start the flash
6. Therefore, I copy the first 416 byte from the original Dodpod TC to the modified rom
7. The Jam start flashing. But after it reach 100%, it report download error and checksum error.
Now, I need to roll back to my original rom.......
Rgds,
Jack
Has anyone successfully used this to make a bigstorage ROM?
im having trouble backing up my original rom. after the the check sum ok part i took the sd card out of the phone and into a card reader. i run the ntrw read backup.nb1 f: and it gave me an error. it says "cyclic redundancy check" i see that on drive see it has created a file called backup.nb1 but it is 0 bytes. does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Also just to let you know that I forgot to patch 416 bytes from O2 ROM into MKS ROM but it worked OK (cuz this is the first time I flashed ROM for my O2 mini ). Now I will do it again after patching 416 bytes from O2 ROM. Will let you know how I go...
I am interested in any possible solutions to my problems. I would like to be able to 'reflash' an HTC Artemis or XDA Orbit device (From the SD Card) with a modified NBH file (mods to the extended ROM section). Has anyone been able to figure out...
1) How do you reflash an Artemis device from the SD Card (if possible - I assume it is)
and
2) Is there any way of modifying the extended ROM section of the NBH file. Can you for example, extract the Ext ROM section using the NBH Extract utility posted on the site - modify it, recompile all parts back into NBH and then reflash device (from SD preferably, although via activesync better than nothing). I expect it will require a modified bootloader and possibly a Super CID device.
Many Thanks to anyone that can help.
no need of flashing etc.! simply edit it:

Thats OK if you only want to modify one device. Not so great if you want to change 100 say. Flashing from the SD card is the way forward there.

Here is a new rom kitchen which also can be used for Herald roms.
Anichillus is working on it to make it completely automatic for Herald. At the moment some files have to be copied manually - but it works.
Just have a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309562
really really sweet, anichillus, awesome! but i'll wait for the Herald compatibility first
Thats definitly good news for the Herald community
Yeah it already works great. I used it to create a wm6 rom based off the wing os dump and it couldn't be easier (coming from a first time cook). I definitely recommend giving it a whirl if you're interested.
Guys, sorry i said that i will upload your kitchen today...but i might not
I think i have been hacked ...so the website doesn't work, and i lost all my stuff cos i had to format my PC (it wouldn't start lol)...I downloaded the one i customised for the hermes and i will start modding on yours, but it might take little more so i don't know if i can finish it today considering i have some personal stuff to do...
Untill then, tell me what RUU to include in yours...or other method for flashing ?
For now it was only meant to be installed in the system drive...and most of us have that drive only for windows.. So i figured that if i am going to modify it, i might as well make it path free so you can install wherever you want...and that also eats little time...
Cheers

Here you are. It is the Aserg-Zip folder only containing teh programs for flashing (perhaps you can delete some unused ones) and i deleted the OS.nb. But the RUU doesn´t work for herald.
An sorry for your PC - don´t get in trouble.
Hi, after some research (German and Spanish ROM from HP, and dumped ROM from spgi), I present you a modest modification of prepare_imgfs which works with the ROMs is it supposed to.
Of course, the dumped ROM from spgi doesn't need it to be correctly extracted since it's a dump (and dumps are not encoded!)
to use it:
prepare_imgfs.exe CEOS.nbf -i (or -ipaqHW69xx)
and then to extract the content (a dump directory will be created):
viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
Modifications "should" work but I cannot test it (I just did it for pleasure).
Of course: thanks itsme, mamaich and all gurus who share source code.
Modifications: rate=0x10089; step=0x10000; skip=0x89;
and now make_imgfs
USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK...
make_imgfs.exe YOURROMFILE.nba -i (or -ipaqHW69xx)
Should work (tested by comparing a ROM with a decrypted and re-encrypted ROM => no change).
As addfile/delfile/buildimgfs works only in nosplit mode, the imgfs_removed_data.bin file could be invalid, so keep a safe backup of these data (just in case) and restore it before using make_imgfs. That way, the imgfs_removed_data.bin file will remain as valid as possible (if it's a CRC or sth like that... it could not work).
Try to make a very small modification (like a background image) to see if it works before cooking.
Good luck!
Need more info
Try to explain with more details.

I don't even have a 6915!
All I know is:
-nobody made it for 6915
-based on a correct imgfs_raw_data.bin + correct imgfs_removed_data.bin + correct ROM (for bootloader and headers), you obtain a valid ROM
now you have to find how to create a correct imgfs_raw_data.bin and a correct imgfs_removed_data.bin. More informations are available on ROM kitchen making guides (all along the threads) and one of the already found methods may work (with small modifications)
I tried to make a buildimgfs, it should work but some things in the source code are obscure to me, and doesn't permit me to validate the tool...
But you can find it by yourself... I made those tools without having the device... you have the device, you could try WITH MASSIVE PRECAUTIONS! read all ROM problem threads to be sure you cleared every possible problems! Reading is the only thing important in such operations... Then try to create a ROM, see if this ROM can be dumped as an official one...
You need to try to use USB Monitor during an upgrade to see if more informations are needed (if we could be sure imgfs_removed_data.bin is useless, it would make the thing easier)
Read, Read, Read!
Many others problems (CID Unlock) seem to have be done, but nobody shares the how to, same for ROM Dump from device...
It's just sad the 6915 community doesn't try to solve their problems by themselves... I mean the community as an ensemble...
bumpity bump
Will Try Soon, And Post Results
I have did this about a 8 months ago, and got some error, my data cable is broke, so once my new one gets in I will post the results
This doesnt extract the ROM right? This lets us play with it after? We still need to find a way to extract the ROM without errors.
Backup Everything
Please man, If you want me to port a rom, I still need this with the errors,

I have backed up everything I can with awizard. It is posted in your WM6 port thread pg 3. Awizard won't let me backup the radio but I have a copy of the OS. I'm not sure how we can get all of it, no one has had any luck getting a complete backup.

Everything else works on my phone.
GOOD LUCK
How to Dump your rom

hw6925 Rom Dump (64mb)
This is my rom dump, I did another a while back it was like 128mb, as I said before, I have NO GSM when starting up phone, phone part does not work, pretty much no radio os. Everything else works fine.
