Is it possible to dump a rom from the phone?
I ahve a dutch HP Ipaq 614c and 914c.
Thanx In Adavnce
you will have to use pdocread to do so, atleast, thats what i used
first connect your phone to your pc via activsync.
then open a cmd shell and navigate to the location
where you have put your tools of pdocread
so by example, if the tools are in C:\rom
type in cmd shell
cd C:\rom
C:\rom: pdocread -l
then you will see the data you need.
then you can retreive the .RAW files and process those to a flashable format
but I have no clue how to do that, I also have that question pending on this forum.
goodluck and I hope my advise whas any good to you

can anyone tell me what the ADB shell command is for going up one directory. I can use "cd" to enter a directory, but always have to exit because cd.. doesn't work like in windows. Also tried cd home, to no effect.
Thanks,
Will
Code:
cd ..
Notice the space. Windows forgives leaving it out, Linux doesn't.
oh...you are the bomb. I was getting so tired of having to exit just to go up one directory.
Thank you.
Will
No problem. Another quick tip, cd / takes you all the way to the root of your file system. Just in case you get lost somewhere
pwd shows you where you are as well.
Hi all,
i am trying to create a goldcard for my Dopod c858, I have followed Mkoz intructions to the word but am stuck on Ad.7
perl typhoonnbfdecode.pl -p cardid=<cardid> -p keys=tornado -p seclevel=0 -d goldcard.img
when I enter the string into Commad via Vista it returns cannot find/recognise this file/format.
if i run typhoonbfdecode.pl solely , it works and lists its options.
Security has ben set to 0 and have run security config manager
I managed to bum my dads old wing to read the sd card.
I tried annother way using Qmat, sadly that doesnt work either.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thankyou

what do you want to do with the img? dump it or just flash it?
if you got some kind of linux distro installed, just go (in terminal) to the dir where the image file is located, and type "file filename.img" if it returns something like ext2 filesystem, simply do:
mount -o loop filename.img /mnt
and the file will be mounted on /mnt, so you can access it using cd /mnt
if it returns something like VMS Alpha executable, you will have to download unyaffs, and if you want to repackage it later on, mkfs.yaffs2,
to get the file's content, just run unyaffs filename.img, and you will have the file content right in the folder with the img file...
if you don't have a linux distro installed, you can simply get virtualbox, and download the latest ubuntu iso file... mount the file in virtualbox and install ubuntu (it's quite easy)...
oh and incase you need them some basic commands:
Code:
ls - lists current folder content
cd folder - allows you to switch to a specific folder, like if you type ls, and you get the folder android listed just type cd android... if you want to go back to your home folder, type ~/...
sudo command - allows you to run specific commands as superuser (root... you can also just switch to user root by typing sudo su, so you won't need sudo every single time)
rm file / rm -R folder/file - allows you to remove files and with the parameter -R also folders ;)
hope this helped

hi ..
i need help with this ,, i already posted on Q/A forum and didn't get any answers !!
i want to make some changes on the squashed.sqsh file but i can't cause it is read only !!
so is there a way to unsquash it or unpack it and then resquash the file ??
i did some search and found out that this could only be done on linux so i went ahead and downloaded the latest Ubuntu build
and tried this command
"sudo squashfs /home/'user'/desktop/extract /home/'user'/desktop/squashed.sqsh"
the file is on my desktop
but i get command not found ..
i searched and found that i need to download "squashfs-tools" and i did download version 4.1
but now how do i install it ??
the read me says that i have to use "make" command but i don't know how to use it !!
i also searched and it is all complicated and i couldn't figure out the way to install it !!
this is my first time using linux !!
please help cause as for now Android on NAND is pretty much useless for me !!
i'll be sure to make a guide after this .. for people who want to modify the squashed.sqsh file ..
I agree with you too.. Nand is kinda useless for the EU HD2.. TMOUS HD2 are lucky to have 1gb ROM.. these days i'm having nothing on my phone :/

to unpack a squashed image use this command:
sudo unsquashfs /your directory/system.sqsh, this yo will do inside the directory that you have your system.sqsh
then to repack it use sudo squashfs /the unquashed system folder/ system.sqsh
there might be some mistakes its been a while since iv tampered with sytem images squashed. hopefully you have an idea now

thank you very much for the help
it is nice to see that people still care about each other
i actually tried that but i get an error
Code:
Parallel unsquashfs: Using 2 processors
713 inodes (2805 blocks) to write
dir_scan: failed to open directory squashfs-root, because File exists
[| ] 0/2805 0%
created 0 files
created 0 directories
created 0 symlinks
created 0 devices
created 0 fifos
I can't squshfs.. just unsqushfs, thats all..
EDIT: someone helped me solving all the problems, its mksquashfs.
So, any luck being able unsquash and squash? Have any of you been able to modify system files using this method? I'd love to be able to modify framework-res.apk. Seems like a difficult process though....
I'll try making a tutorial for who doesn't know how to do those methods.

yes please i tried the above command but couldn't get it to work on my machine !!
it says something about failed to access squashed-root because file exists !!!
any help would be appreciated
This can be done within Windows aswell. You just have to grab this package and unzip into a new folder.
Copy the squashed.fsqh into this folder and execute
>unsquashfs squashed.sqsh
it will create a folder squashfs-root.
Now you can edit whatever you want. When you are done use this command to repack. Note that you must delete the old sqaushed.sqsh before you do so or you will get an error message
>mksquashfs squashfs-root squashed.sqsh -all-root
now you can connect to the device with adb and log into shell
>adb shell
And delete the squashed.sqsh on the device
#rm /system/squashed.sqsh
#exit
and reeboot
>adb reboot
The device will stop during boot because the squashed.sqsh ist missing
connect with adb and push the new squashed.sqsh
>adb push squashed.sqsh /system/squashed.sqsh
and reboot
>adb reboot
Done!
Note that this is for gauners Rom. He used squashfs 4.0. Maybe you will need 4.1 for other roms. I don´t know. Not a linux guy

thank you very much for the answer
i got it unsquashed by dragging the squashed.sqsh to unsquash.exe
"because when i try opening the unsquash.exe and mksquash.exe i get a cmd with a bunch of lines for like half a second and then it exits before i even do any thing"
then i tried putting it back togeather by draging squashed-root folder to mksquash.exe and it didn't work ??
i also tried squash-tools 4.1 and the same error happened !!
running out of options here
Ehm... This a command line tool. You have to open a cmd window and cd to the folder where you have the unsquash und mksquash files. The execute the commands.
Do you have adb installed and working? This is part of the android sdk. You will need it to push the file after repacking.
hi.
so we now have android in windows phone.there's a tutorial on how to copy files from that android and to that android os but i think you're phone needs to be unlocked (interop).and if you're phone is locked you can do it (i've been away from these kind of things for a long time.correct me if i'm wrong)
i used adb before and knew there was some kind of command to check the folders and files in the phone.so i took my chances and i tried them.
here is the code:
1-
Code:
adb shell
2-result will be something like
Code:
/system/bin/sh: No controlling tty: open /dev/tty: No such file or directory
/system/bin/sh: warning: won't have full job control
[email protected]:/ $
3-type this
Code:
ls
it will gives you a list of all folders in the phone (in android os in windows phone in this case)
4-the main folder is "mnt" so type this code
Code:
cd mnt
5- you can still type
Code:
ls
but it'll take a lot of times to find folders so i'll just give it to you guys.these are the command you need to enter and press enter.(each line must be typed separately)
Code:
cd shell
Code:
cd emulated
Code:
cd 0
6-in here is you type
Code:
ls
you can see that you have Pictured,Music and things like this.so if you want to create a folder in your android just type
Code:
mkdir YourFolder
7-after you created your folder enter
Code:
exit
to exit the shell and now you can "push" and "pull" commands.here's how push command work
Code:
adb push Path\To\Your\File.txt mnt\shell\emulated\0\YourFolder
i like to put my files that i want to push in the same folder that i have adb.exe so i just need to type the file name and extension.
8-after that you can install an android file manager to manage your files.
i haven't tested "pull" command but it'll work.i just need to test it.
so sorry if you guys knew this method , i just wanted to share it with you.
this method is really good for phone like 920 and for apps and games that has .obb data files (like Fallout Shelter )
Really appreciate you for this tutorial and helping nature,but we had a ""shortcut ""way using file Explorer
