Hi
I am still looking for "easy way" to backup rom from my c600 to PC.
I have used sda-application-unlock don't know if its necessary
I then have used spvservices to unlock phone for sim and cid
Then I have found a utiliy called awizard 1.3b from this forum which then using the -b options creates a backup of rom to pc.
I then have:
C600-ExtRom (Folder:empty)
boot.gru 25kb
c600-HTCLogo.nba 64kb
c600-OS.nba 36864kb
c600-radio.nba 2560kb
c600-splash.nba 192kb
How can I be check that these file are fine to flash again? I know the utility is for Wizard but everything went fine using the awizard program and I am really tempted to flash to see if it could work
Also the tool says that it doesn't touch bootloader so then I can reflash again if there is problem?
I found this interesting thread about adding files to .nba files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34171&highlight=awizard
I have renamed the c600.nba file to nk.nba
then I have used prepare_imgfs.exe nk.nba -nosplit -mpx200
then I used viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
and it created a dump directory! It looks like the original ROM ! But I have to check more... any help?
(also posted in spv-developers but no help so far).
Regards,
Rainer
Does anyone has try this method? I've also made a backup of my ROM but I hesitate to flash it again...
How do you do to backup and flash your ROM without any risk with your SPV C600 ?
I know it's a noob question but there is no thread about spv c600 backup.. I'm wondering if it's the same way for a Wizard or if I need a special tool for Tornado??
Does not seem to be of much interest people here :? Everybody seems to prefer SD card backup....
Maybe when I will have a second C600 which is still under warranty I will try...
Regards,
Rainer
Can you tell me what should i use to make backup directly on my sd card ?

Thanks to various pioneers on this forum - I have just updated the Dopod 1.11 CHT ROM to have access to 26.72M Storage.
1. Use the official Dopod link www.dopod.com.tw/download/Dopod818_1110_153_11100_Ship.exe to update the ROM to CHT 1.11.
Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if your pocket pc is not a Dopod 818.
2. Run RomUpdate.exe to dump the ROM to SD Card.
3. Run "ntrw read chtbig.nb1 s:" where s: is the SD drive.
4. Use HexEditor to modify "80 00" to "b8 01" at the following two locations of chtbig.nb1 - 00007e4a and 01fc232e.
5. Run "ntrw write chtbig.nb1 s:".
6. Flash the pocket pc with the new ROM on SD card.
The key is about identifying the right locations of the ROM to modify. Please note that different machines and different ROM versions will have different addresses to modify.
Thanks for your explanation
How to identify the right locations to modify?
I just have my O2 mini upgraded to 1.12.00WWE and would like to modify it to bigstorage.
Regards
Woo ~~ good job !! but can you show more for point 4

Hey ! I got it. now my O2 had 27MB storage and CHT 1.11 rom . :lol:
I am glad that the method works on the pocket pc of others.
In theory, this DIY method should work for any newly released ROM versions, unless HTC changes the coding structure.
Thanks. It works for me too.
Just a reminder for others: The first boot will takes about 5 mins for formating the storage space.
yes, I have also encountered this problem but my O2 mini is work fine now.
I've tried another rom image for my mda compact 2 and now my mdac2 does'nt start any more.
I have tried several rom-images (for compact, atom, ewtc..), but I can install no one .
On the T-Mobile Homepage there is no Image for the MDAc 2.
Can anyone help me ?
I only come to the bootloder screen (red - green - blue).
I need a rom-image, that i can start from the bootloader.
thx
Try this link from TMO UK http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com2.html
Success, M
I've already tried this, and it starts updating but then comes the message :
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
THis Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.....
Maybe I have to unlock the CID first ?
But can I unlock the CID with the aWizard, when the Comp.2 is in the Bootloader mode (red-gree-blue) ?
Ouch,
Yes the cid-unlock will be needed :-( Can't you fix the RUU.conf or something simular with a first line like checkid=1 ? I've read about it on the board & seems to work for magician. & there's some tool like MaUpgradeUT_noid for the wizard too, but I don't remember whether that is awizard :-(
You're almost of to the shop isn't it.
BTW when you unzip the shipped-rom, do you get all kinds of nbf files. & Do they all start with the same word when you open them in hexeditor? I use nbfdec to decode them to a 'normal' file which can be edited, then you could be able to fix the header of the nb1 encode it again & try to update your device.
& have you tried some of these tools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/DumpROM/

In the unzipped folder is no file like RUU.conf.
Only RUU.dll and RUUREsource.dll
There are following files in the folder
EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.xex
RUUGetInfoi.exe
RUUResource.dll
RUU.dll
And I've downloaded " nbfdec " , but I can not start this program.
I think i have to reboot my computer.
un zip all the files from the t-mobile package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID.rar
download this and unrar and overwrite in the same folder.
connect up the phone in bootloader to pc and run the ..._NoID.exe
as theres no activesync connection it will pause for a bit on the checking existing rom but still let you carry on
ignore the picture of the wizard, just make sure your installing the right nk.nbf for the compact 2
I've exactly done what you said, the update ended with 100 % and now the device starts until the bootloader-screen (red-green-blue).
Have I done something wrong ?
What has happened ?

That's the one I was referring to, thanks.
Bundy did you reset afterwards?
M
Yes, I did a Hardreset, a Softreset , but I only get to the picture with the 3 colors.
IPL 1.12
SPL 2.15
I'm terribly sorry, but we've ran out of my knowlegde of the MDA Compact II. So besides the usual question: have you ran the update a second time, for me this would be warranty issue.
Hope Dave is worth more.
Good luck, M
Yes , I have done the update a second time, but with the same effect - the device only starts in the three-color-screen.
So I think I can do nothing more ....
:-(
... I cannot install it on my device due to CID lock.
I have cracked the protection of ACE HELLAS but I don't know how to install it on my device. I tried to upgrade using aWizard, but the device won't boot.
What I have now is an .nba file with the patched ROM.
Please tell me how to install it on a CID locked phone so I can test it, and then I will post the ROM
Credits go to Marker who initially found out how to crack the Greek rom for the universal.

we are trying to unlock and or dump the rom on the treo 750v. this is a newly released treo made by htc. the treo has an awesome feature called theeaded sms which does chat style sms.
we have tried the grab it program that was on this site with no luck.
does anyone no of a way to get this done? does any have any ideas of why the grab it program doesn't work. does anyone want to help?
thanks, cody
So far we've manage to get someone to try the grab_it tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
But they are getting a write error. I assumed since the Treo 750v uses a mini-sd card the appropriate version of grab_it would be grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe. I'm trying to get someone to try the grab_it_128_150.exe version to see if that works, since that is the version BeyondTheTech used to extract the Treo 700w rom. The 700w uses a regular sd card though.
I asked the guy that tried grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe what the storage card folder name was set to and they verified that the registry was set to "Storage Card". So it's unclear to me why they are getting a write error. Maybe the minisd version expects something else? The card used was a 2GB minisd so it should have plenty of room for the rom.
Anyone familiar with grab_it know what is different about the minisd version? I read through the thread but it wasn't clear to me what the difference is.
Ok, I'm the one who's run the grabit tool on a 750v
It runs Ok and creates a 128Mb dump.bin file but the file appears to be mostly empty. If I zip the file up it only takes 147Kb which seems to confirm this. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in the tool
i have hope 750v user and appreciate your efforts

Can you upload the bin file please. I think someone here may be able to figure this out by looking at the contents of it.
If anyone has a source for a unlocked 750v let me know i really need one.
File and registry dump.

Hi, please can you do me favor? I have idea which can help us get SMS threading application and other palm features as well. If isn't possible dump ROM in this moment can you download Total Commander (freeware) http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and do following.
1, Create foder on memory card and go to the Total commander.
2, go to the root of your device and copy to SD everything what is possible specially from Windows folder and Program Files (rest will be fine as well)
- this will take some time and in case of problem with file just skip that file.
3, When this will be done please go into the "\\" in the root and then to "registry"
4, now select registry tree one by one and copy again to card.
This will give us most probably files which will be required for hack and registry keys which will be required as well i think.
Thank you very much for your help.
Here's a zipped up copy of the dump.bin file, hope it helps
I extracted that dump.bin and it looks like a 256 byte block of data that is repeated at each 16 meg boundary 8 times.
Does this ring any bells to the experts?
The only readable text is "CHEETAH IPL EVT".
wow! that's great!
I don't have a Cheetah, but there's some info on the hermes forum that might be of interest to you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019171&postcount=22
750v_User please try this program to extract the rom image.
unzip and copy TestDump.exe to your device and run it. In the "Path to file" enter the path for the dump file (i.e. \Storage Card\dump.bin). In the "Mbytes to dump" enter 128. Then press the "Dump" button. It should make a dump of the ROM file.
Zip it up and upload here. Thanks!

Thanks. That post appears to be for updating the rom. I wonder if there is some key combo like this to extract the rom.

Based on the Hermes experience, there's no knonw way yet to extract it in a form that after is flashable on another device, but you can follow these instructions to dump some parts:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
You can also use pmemdump to copy some of the ROM contents to a file. Once you've dumped SPL you can search for strings on it and you'll see the bootloader commands.
HTC has removed all the "d2s, s2d, r2sd..." and like commands in the hermes bootloader, probably you are lucky and you have some command to dump the rom to sd in your bootloader.
Hope that helps
The ROM dump // extract discussion is over my head...one question though has anyone sorted out how to unlock this device?

750v ROM dump uploaded
I put a rom dump from the TestDump.exe tool on ftp.xda-developers.com. userid: xdaupload pw: xda
file: treo750v_dump_rom.zip
I used the dumprom tool to extract files, but it looks like it's only extracting the first rom section it finds and stops. Can one of the experts take a look at the dump and see if you can extract the other sections please.
Thanks.
What are you getting from the first rom section?
Sounds weird... was the dump complete?
It looked like a bunch of system files. The kernel, img.dll, filesystem drivers and the like.
There is 59MB of data in the dump so there has to be more stuff in there.
Hi,
I am cooking for my perosnla use a anew ROM; but have some problems with it. Using the VF_UK_3.08.161.0_radio_sign_25.74.40.02_1.64.08.21 ROM and KaiserKitchen provided by Alex.
What have I done.
1. Extract RUU_signed.nbh and edited OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat for changing the program folder and the links.
2. Cooked and flashed a new ROM. Works fine.
BTW: Many thanks for this forum !!!
3. Installed new CABs (approx. 20 new Cabs)
4. Dumped with pdocread.exe the files Part00.raw, ..., Part04.raw.
5. Put RUU_signed.nbh (from point2), Part01.raw and Part02.raw in BaseRom folder and extract them. (I took the option b from the extract menu).
6. Cook a new ROM.
But this ROM has the same size like the ROM from point 2.
I thought Part01 and Part02 includes my new installed CABs within the OS.
I have searched the forum, but I have found unfortunately nothings which helps me.
Any hints, any tips ?
Many mans thanks

as far as i understand,if you dump a rom you dump the "base" rom, not the installed cab´s.
if you want more programs in your rom you have to put the oem-packs in your kitchen!
The dump include OS (OEM, ROM & XIP data), Radio, SPL. The dump is reading rom files.
To add things you need to create packages for them. Read the wiki or thread about package maker.
Thanks to all .... I thought I can go this way.

I think you can. We talked about that, and I think it would be better option to do that way, because it's faster to include all progs, tweaks and release a new ROM. Also I think most people rather likes to create OEM packages, but dumping full ROM would be excellent option. This days I think I will have some free time to try that. Like "austinsnyc" told me in some older post, IMGFS tools could be help us to do that.
There is link what we talked about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376685
We can help each other in progress. If we will be successful I will create tutorial.
Let me know how that works out
