I need to restore my original T-Mobile ROM to send the hardware in for repair. I have tried ROMS supplied from 2 different sources to no avail. They are all exactly the same size... 33292288. Everytime I try to use the OSImage Tool to copy it to my 256MB SD card, I get this error immediately...
C:\....\tmo.nb1: incorrect filesize(33292288), file should be exactly 32243712 bytes error opening input file.
I am stumped. Anyone know how to get by this?
mmm, the top 1M of your nb1 does belong in the os image part of the rom,
it contains the save contacts etc.
you can either delete it yourself using a hexeditor or other binary file editor.
Your file has to end at offset 0x01ec0000
or wait until I make osimagetool less strict. ( which might not be soon )
Just for the hell of it I'd give XDArit and try, you never know
it might work!

Would you mind editing it for me if I sent the file to you? I could let you ftp the file and then replace it. I need to get this device in for repair because my contract is almost up... in less than a month. Thanks.
ok, better do some programming than fileeditting.
update is at http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/download/oit_105.zip
you have to start it with a commandline option '-f' to disable filesize checking.
Still no good. Now I get ... Error writing 00008000 bytes to 00b18400: Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I've tried two different T-Mobile images from two totally different people and the files are the same size, and they both get the exact same error. Any ideas?
when does this error occur? in osimagetool?
this would point to a faulty sd card I think.
It happens mid way through the load in OSImage Tool... loading to the SD Card. I've been using this card for a year... just about full of stuff... and never had a problem before. Even used XDArit to grab an image from my XDA, and to load the XDA Developers ROM onto it. I'll see if I can get another card. Thanks for trying help me figure this out. I may try the card in a store on a display unit and see if I can grab an image with the bootloader.
Hi folks
I have the same problem that Mike had - the one with the wrong filesize.
Unfortunately the posted link to the updated version of OSImagetool is down. Is there any chance someone could fix that?
Thank you very much in advance.

Vielen Dank / Thank you very much it worked just perfect.
By the way, this could also be interesting for you Stefan: the reason I was searching for the OSImage Tool was because of the german ROM 4.00.33 Mathias was so kind to share. It is the first german version I could get my hands on and i now have the good old qwertz-keyboard back.
Mabye Jeff or someone else could put it into the kitchen for all german/swiss/austrian XDA users ??? I would think a lot of people would appreciate this.

Hi, im a bit of a Noob when it comes to this sort of thing, i followed the instructions carefully. And im still in dire straits.
When it comes to copying the rom back to the sd card, (its a 1gb) it wont put it back it comes with an error. Im going to spend all weekend on this to figure it out. My main outcome is that i get the tmobile connectivity back on. I want gprs back on it. So... Either, can anyone point me to a tmobile installer as ican do that no problems. Or can anyone point me to a Tmobile gprs installer. Ive looked on the FTP, but the names are not so apparently obvious. I may be missing something, as i said im a bit of a noob. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Nick :?:
Maybe this helps a little:

Cheers for that...
However, this part is the easy bit... i backed up the rom, now i cant upload the backup to the sd card, i get the follwing error...
(see attachment)
anyone any advice for this?
I have modified the source for Grab_it designed by Buzz in this thread HERE to dump a 256MB rom. From what I can tell, it does do this. I get a dump.bin at 256MB. My problem is further processing this file. Dumprom.exe, from what I see, doesn't understand this file, and therefore just errors out. Is this also the 128MB limitation? Can dumprom.exe be modified, or is there a new version that I'm missing?
512MB Version?
I see that your can modify the grab_it tool. So can i ask you to make a 512MB version for the HTC Raphael users i would be very very grateful you have no idea
I asked it in the original thread but no response whatsoever. I can't help you with the processing of the file because i can't create a bin yet i hope .
Maybe it's possible to use pdocread.exe for further processing but maybe i'm just talking crap here because this is al new for me.

pdocread is used to read from the actual phone. This is done already using the grab_it tool. At least from what I've seen.
Added my 256MB version to the first post. I still haven't figured out a way to process it further.
Sorry for late reaction. I've eaten first then had a long discussion with my girl
I'm dumping the rom as we speak and will post result in a few minutes.
I hope that we can figure out how to disassemble the dump.bin.
If i have to believe dferreira in this post u can use imgfstools to convert .bin to .nbh.
P.S. I also get a error when trying your 512MB version.
Code:
Error on WriteFile.
Card full?
I use a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card to dump which is completly empty except on the folder 2577 and autorun.exe
EDIT: I also tried a regular 2GB Sandisk still not working the progress bar stops very early and quits at 9.5MB of dump.bin
I've tried. It errors with the below message.
Compression DLL does not support compression type ''!

nevermind. I was using the wrong tool.
ImgfsToDump is supposed to dump the imgfs file. dump.bin is not a valid imgfs file. The dump is more than just the OS.

You're so right i forgot about that so we need to split it in the right sections first like .raw files when dumping with pdocread.exe.
I'll ask dferreira if he had any success, because he claimed that he converted it with imgfstools.exe

damn. sorry. I'm at home, and need to download the development tools to this computer. Give me a few. Unfortunately, I don't have a 512MB device to test this on. So, you'll have to be my tester.
No problemo to be your tester because i think u can make this a great tool.
P.S. The last dump i tried ended up with a 512KB dump.bin
I also cannot PM buzz_lightyear because he disabled that function
We're on our own.
I'm going to sleep now it's 23.47 over here, i'll check back in the morning.
I actually loaded this 512MB version on my 256MB titan. It never errored, but once it got halfway (256MB worth) it froze the phone. That, I expected. So, try this compilation and let me know how it works.
Hi mate,
I tried your v4i version lastnight but still no go. It stops at 9.5MB and then shutsdown the app.
I'll post back after the weekend because i'm having a little holiday with no laptop I might check the forum on my TP.

same error? I wish I had a 512MB device to test this on. I don't see how this would fail. Have you re-formatted the SD card? Is it Fat32?

Thanks for that. I at least got the 256MB working on the Titan. LOL
Back in business
I always format my card before trying and it's FAT32.
I will check the buzz thread and site if he made any updates.

Wierd. Let him know that I had to patch several sections of his code to just get it working. He can PM me and I can talk to him about his code.
I've just sended him a PM on his own website i hope he will respond and help us out here.
I really got to have that tool
After emailing back and forth with the HTC support team about the Leo's "too loud ear piece" and after asking me a million questions they finally sent me the Debug tool 3.4 to run it in my Leo and send them the logfile.
Well the stupid application it's been running for days and never seems to stop. It did create some 20 DM files on my SD card which can't be seen in explorer anymore. I put it into a card reader to see what's happening.
I hard reseted my Leo to stop the debugging tool but no use, I reflashed, taken out the sd card, but nu use the darn thing still runs and kills my battery! WIFI doesn't work either!!!
What should I do?
Please help!!!

I even swapped SD cards, formatted them you name it I've done it!
Please share your wisdom if you have an answer!!!
PS debug tool 3.4 is what's causing the problem!
Are you doing a hard reset without your sd card inserted?..
If the answer is yes, then try..
format your sd card, then flash a new rom using goldcard method.... it is virtually impossible for the file to stay storaged in the sd (after format) or the device (beacuse u did format it when doing the flashing process).
In makes sense but!

I know hard reset should have helped, but try letting the phone empty and then remove the battery for a couple of hours-day, then try it agian.
Mabey I don't get the question but.. how come it's still working with the debugging tool while the phone is flashed? The debugging tool is prob. placed on a special sector of the main memory normaly not accessed by a rom, the program it self doesn't run from normal memory sectors, so you might have a try with a SPL update/overwright. If all fails send it back, why would htc give you this program? they allways say send it back and you'll get a new one?...
please post the tool, might give some insight after disasm. MFG area is interesting.
It's been written to special memory place.
Again, please post the tool you were given
how are you doing a hard reset?, are you using the clean memory tool software on your device, or are u pressing vol up and down simultaneously while powering on the device...... I just dont get how the program stays in memory after hard reset, even after flashing.

I've attached the toll. I finally got rid of it by being able to rerun the program (which i prior tried a million times) and rewrite the parametres to "0" instead of 435 and 401. Give it a go if you know what you're doing and you can read log files.
regards,
G
You got rid of it. I edit out the post
Solution:
First backup your SD, after format with FAT32 .... reinstall your ROM and after insert your SD.
got dmmnit, glad u got rid of it, maybe we can learn how it.doez stick to the rom like that n use it in other apps like smartprotect. congrats!:
hi, do u mind sharing how u got rid of it?
I run this tool too, but after have no way to stop first try to read forum. Solution to stop program already is given from wmfreak. It is not need to make hard reset or to reformat SD card. Only things to do is to run program one more time and:

Thank you wmfreak
I updated to mango beta and followed the steps to backup and now that the firmware update is out I went back to restore and it doesn't show up in Zune. I read the post about where backups are located and it show my files there that I did do a backup. Any hints on what I am doing wrong
I've got the same problem..
From what I have read, after the back up has been made you need to save it somewhere else on your computer too, because the Zune software will overwrite it. Im hoping that there is a way to get a stock back up or recover overwritten once. If anyone knows anything else that would be awesome!
Hopefully you guys are official devs... As Microsoft will offer you assistance if you are...
Otherwise you will most likely have to save whatever backups you have an hope that the community helps you. The problem with that is you'll probably not get the firmware until around Mango officially comes out and the hacker community starts dealing with all those who ignore the warnings from Microsoft...
MS docs were pretty clear.. yo, after you make the restore point.. make a copy of it.

I have three backups/restore points saved in my premangostate folder though, Im not sure what Im doing wrong..
Could you attach one of your restore points here so I may take a look at it? Please attach the oldest one, also, if I get it to work I'll give you a step-by-step instruction on how to do it.

I'm only able to provide a part of the file itself, the whole thing is about 3.8 GB but since megaupload only lets me share a certain amount I put in a small sample of the data files, perhaps you could just look at it and see if there is any file missing from it, I would be great.. I separated out the .dat files from the other folders it gets housed in..
