I need to replace some files in Windows of my magician to make my device read 2 Gb 150x SD cards. How can I modify the nc.nbf file of a firmware?
This isn't sooo easy as far as i know...
Do you know what you want to do? What files want you to change?

PS: Pls do not open 2 threads for one issue!
Windows doesn't allow me to replace the drivers of a SD card. I want to replace these files with the files from the previous version of Windows.

The only way I know of would be to edit the ROM files in Hex using a hex editor. This would be very difficult, as I don't know of a reference that would tell you where in the ROM file your particular file is found. But it could be done. If you found the file location you might could remove the file, then paste in your file - all in hex, of course.
Instructions for dumping your ROM can be found with a search of the "upgrading your Magician" board.
I tried to copy a bunch of .dll files from \Windows
I encountered a couple of problems doing that:
1. Some files are not shown on the PC in Windows Explorer though I've enabled viewing hidden and system files. However, these files are shown on the device in Resco Explorer, but can't be copied to e.g. \Storage Card
2. Some files are shown on PC in Windows Explorer but are in use and therefore can't be copied
What are the tricks to back up those files?
PS: My device (S710 Vox) is unlocked using M$ Security Manager
No tricks.
If you bothered to learn anything about your device you would know that these files are part of ROM and can not be copied out.
Don't mean to be rude but this was asked and answered many times before. Do a search on "ROM dump"
Yeah stupid me...
Dumped the ROM and got the files I want
(http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom)
Actually I can't find coredll.dll in my ROM dump.
I used viewimgfs.exe to dump Part02. I can't use viewimgfs.exe on Part00 and Part01.
Is there another tool which can retrieve coredll.dll and perhaps other missing files?
Another question: can the S710 be flashed by using imgfs tools v1.82 to create the image(s) and a generic HTC flash tool?
I am trying to copy or move a file from \windows which is a .dll file. I am getting an error when trying to do this programatically in C# with .NET. Does anyone know how to access the files in \Windows directory without access restrictions?
Thanks,
heimlich
if they are in the rom one cant just delete or in some cases access them runtime only at pre flashing rom image time
Could you be a bit more detailed? I want to get access to a .dll to see what their function calls are. How can I get the dll onto my desktop to view it?
Thanks,
heimlich
try copying them to your sd card using total commander
I tried that. I get an error telling me it is unable to copy files. Looks similar to error I get when I tried with native file explorer and .net File.Copy();
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
heimlich
If it is in ROM, you can't copy it right out as a file, the best you can do is to LoadLibraryEx it with LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE, then if you can locate it in memory, you can dump it out to a file on disk.
How do I know if something is in ROM? I know it is in \windows and that is about it and in file explorer I can see the file as .dll.
thanks,
heimlich
One way is to use GSFinder. It marks ROM files with a different icon. Most of the files that are in the \Windows folder are in ROM.

You have to stop the application that has the filelock. Try (on the PPC) closing all running apps and stopping all services. If it's Windows itself that has the lock, then you'll have to extract a ROM image and go from there.
Hello,
I am trying to copy a file (from my smartphone to SD card), which have a 'ROM' attribute set and... it is impossible - acces denied is showed (even in Resco Explorer, Total Commander). I can't even change that attribute.
Please help me to find any solution
Best greetings,
RA
You should be able to extract files from the ROM file on your PC thanks to the tools provided in one of the sticky about ROMs modifications.
Unfortunatelly...

I have extracted an 'nb' file from my ROM file, but WinImage can't open it ("not FAT16, FAT32 file"). It is WM6 image file, what tools to open this 'nb' file?
Best greetings,
RA
I, too, am trying to find a way to copy some ROM attributed files.
Ultimately, I am trying to move/copy some apps from one smartphone (WM5) to another (WM6). Is there a way to copy them to a zip file and move the files that way or maybe even using a backup copy (i.e. using Sprite Backup?) and restoring to a different phone?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. If there is another thread out there, please be sure to point me to it since searching brings up a lot of different threads.
u need to extract the rom.
Funny, but you make it sound so easy... ;-) I've been searching to figure out how to do that and found some instructions I'm hoping I can follow for the one phone, but not sure it it will apply to the old phone (WM5). If I do manage to dump the ROM, where does it go and does it extract the files in cab format for easy upload?
Update: I found a file extractor at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/56057-6700-rom-dump.html which may have originally come from Buzz... (thanks Buzz!)? so now I have all the files and modules off the old phone, but am running into some issues installing. I can transfer the files indirectly, and can find the specific application file, but when trying to run the app, it tells me that it's still missing files to enable the program. Any ideas on how to determine which files they might be or how to install the files via Activesync?
