How to flash dumped rom ?

I have dump rom for Vox in .raw format. How can I flash phone with these?
I was trying to convert it to .nb file with imgfstools with no luck. I got error that MSFLSH50 header not found.
I don`t need to edit the rom.
Is even that possible to flash vox with dumped rom ?
Help please!!!!
That`s steps I take:
1. 'imgfstodump part02.raw` (result: ok)
2. imgfsfromdump part02.raw imgfs.new.bin (result: ok)
3. Use a donor .hbh to extract, Have a 04_os.nb
4. Nosplit -hermes 04_os.nb (result: ok) Have now: 04_os.nb.payload (rename to: 04_os.nb.old.payload)
5. Imgfstonb imgfs.new.bin 04_os.nb.old.payload 04_os.nb.payload (result: error. "MSFLSH50 header not found.")
Now, what am I doing wrong ? Coz I don`t get it and I`m stuck.
Help.
Thanks

You can't flash the .raw
But I found another way to dump and flash a ROM.
You will need a special USPL which can raw dump to SD and Winhex to read the raw dump to file. Tomorrow I will post the details.

Yes, I know, I can`t flash .raw file. Above I posted steps I took to create a .nb file from .raw and error I get.
Please take a look.
Other way, can I use:
Code:
pdocwrite -w -d FLASHDR -p Part02 0 0x3586800 Part02.raw
to flash part02.raw to device? I know it`s not save, but will it work?
The .raw files I have come from other Vox with diferent rom version,that`s why I want to flash it, so I`m not iterested to dump my rom.
Thank

I think it it just what I need. Waiting for your details. Will it work on htc 710 vox? How safe is this procedure?

flash raw rom

I have a no brand htc s710 with 1.15 italian-english UK-english US rom. I'm going to flash with 1.27 ARA rom in the next days. If i will want resume my original rom in the future i think i can flash the one i found on ftp xda site that is just the same of my original rom (1.15 italian-english UK-english US). I downloaded it but it is in .raw and comes with 3 .raw files. What is the tool to flash the raw roms? Can i use the USPL tool or there's the need to convert it in .exe??

no one can help me??

You have to extract the raw! Look in the wiki on how to dump the ROM. There you will find this line:
E:\Documents\itsutils>pdocread -w -d DSK1: -p Part02 0 0x3567000 Part02.raw
It extracts the raw from the ROM into a folder, you just have to adjust it to the location of your *.raw files! But I don't know how you get the 0x3567000, because that was a different number for my ROM, so I don't know if it is the same for your file! Then you get one folder with all files and you can sort it with pkgtools. Look in the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom

ok..thank you! So after running pkgtools i'll get the SYS and OEM folders but, ok, but...how can i flash this extracted rom to my phone??

I have never done it, but it should work. But you should ask Dr Martin Gonzo.
Get the kitchen and replace the SYS and OEM folder and build a ROM. But first ask in the kitchen thread!

ok thank you very much! But i'm surprised that people who flashed his vox didn't face this problem yet. Don't you feel the need to be able to restore the original htc rom, one day, just in case, to benefit the htc support?

LG KS20 Questions: raw, dz, flash.bin???

hi people,
i dumped my phones rom with pdocread. gave me 4 files:
part00.raw
part01.raw
part02.raw
part03.raw
now... i still have a few questions i didnt quite find an answer to:
1. whats included in those .raw files?
2. the flash.bin and .mbn files make up a .dz file?
3. it's possible to extract and compile them from/into a .dz file?
4. where is the connection between .raw and .dz files?
5. what is the flash.bin?
6. wheres the operating system?
7. is there a way to restore your phones rom (raw files) in order to put it back to its original state (where you dumped it at)?
is there a faq on the ks20's file system?
many questions, i know... gave me headaches too. but maybe someone is willing to give answers??

for the record, we don't deal with non-HTC devices.. hope you get your answer

1. whats included in those .raw files?
- part 0 : uldr
- part 1 : xip
- part 2 : imgfs (=sys+oem)
- part 3 : user partition
2. the flash.bin and .mbn files make up a .dz file?
Yep.
3. it's possible to extract and compile them from/into a .dz file?
MisterJp and CopsFrance made tools to extract a dz file.
4. where is the connection between .raw and .dz files?
part0.raw + part1.raw + part2.raw = flash.bin
*.mbn + flash.bin = rom.dz
5. what is the flash.bin?
see above.
6. wheres the operating system?
Os = Xip + Imgfs
7. is there a way to restore your phones rom (raw files) in order to put it back to its original state (where you dumped it at)?
Not exactly as dump files don't contain mbn parts of the dz (mbn files contain bootloader + radio + a few other parts.).
But if you understood correctly with your raws you can make up a new flash.bin. If you use mbn files from an extracted dz rom, you'll have a rom very similar to your original one (except that radio part won't be necessary the same).
Have a look in Upgrading part of the forum (in my signature too), I made a Kitchen and a Rom for Ks20.

wow. that's an answers i was looking for. someone knows his stuff. thanks alot.

[KIT] HP iPAQ 514 Kitchen

Ok since much time has past and our fellow Russians have developed win6.5 ROM but the only problem is that its in Russian! its for free but only in russian language. so i contacted a guy who did ROM and he told me that he doesnt do cooking anymore and he gave me links to kitchens and tools but he didnt gave me any manual or tutorial. I will put these links here so that people more experianced in ROM cooking could provide us with English or other language ROM. Oh and a guy named Veisen did an auto kitchen but it has problems with SMS and Wifi network as well as with some other functions.
Kitchen:

and here is russian rom:

Thanx
P.S. for russian pages use google translator or just follow the links colored in blue

Sorry my bad english.
For build new ROM for hp ipaq 514 need:
1)Make dump from worked smartphone.
Use pdocread tools from collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=XdaUtils
Need dump two partition IMGFS and XIP
2)Decompile dump, use tools from kitchen
3)Add OEM file from original ROM to ROM-donor
Or use BuildOS tools for make package list.
I'll used rom Ginza MS100 from
http://forum.wce.by/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14372
4)Build imgfs and xip
5)Convert imgfs image to *.OSx files and build .nbf file
5)Write .nbf to smartphone
Exclude .bl, .xl, .yl (bootloader's) file from you ROM for safe smartpone.
If new firmware bad - you look bootscreen, splash-screen and stop.
My tools from kitchen not worked for official ROM.

Thanks Veliant,
And since i'm total dumbass with this and faild to build it, someone post here if you have any success whit building the ROM.
