Find where ROM begins (rommaster)

Hi,
I'm trying to extract XIP part of an orange rose rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450221
I know how to obtain OS.nb with nbhextract, but i don't know how to find "rom begin".
If i use nbsplit to obtain os.nb.payload, i don't know what option i must use.
And after, if i use "kaiser" option with nbsplit, i don't know how to extract xip with rommaster, and what "begin" option i can give.
How i can find it ?
Thanks.

No idea please ?
I always have this problem.
Thanks.

try this:
Code:
RomMaster.exe -x -w 5 -b 0x320000 OS.nb.payload -o xip.bin
good luck

Hi,
I was able to :
nbsplit.exe -kaiser OS.nb
and :
RomMaster.exe -x -w 5 -b 0x320000 OS.nb.payload -o xip.bin
and :
dump xip.bin with XIPPort
I obtained :
OUT and files usually found in xip.bin
BUT, how i can find this start adress 0x320000 ?
This value is for kaiser, but i don't konw if it's ok with others devices.
And how i can know if "kaiser" value is good with nbsplit ?
Thanks.

moved to Q&A section. please post your questions in the Q&A section next time.

I always have a problem.
I want to extract XIP from this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450221
I tried this :
Code:
nbhextract.exe *.nbh
I obtain :
03_OS.nb => renamed to OS.nb
I tried :
Code:
ImgfsFromNb.exe OS.nb imgfs.bin
ImgfsFromNb 2.1rc2
ImgFs partition starts at 0x00000000 and ends at 0x00000000
Dumping IMGFS at offset 0x006c6c00 (size 0xff939400)
Done!
How i can use nbsplit ?
How i can extract XIP ?
I don't know how i can use nbsplit to obtain OS.nb.payload and OS.nb.extra
I tried rommaster to extract XIP (but it doesn't works because i don't use OS.nb.payload i think) :
Code:
RomMaster.exe -x -w 5 -b 0x006c6c00 OS.nb -o xip.bin
[Info] It is a common ROM.
[Error] File is damaged, end address small than start address.

Could you help me please ?

No idea, please ?

How to dump TP2 ROM from Phone

I have successfully dumped the ROM from my Brand New VZW Touch Pro 2 ... Here is how I did it. You will need itsutils to dump the ROM, and imgfstools to extract it.
Dump:
1) List partitions - Should show Part00 to Part03 - pdocread -l
2) Get Part00 address - pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -p Part00 -t -b 0x800 - Find the partition address (displayed as 0x######)
3) Dump Part00 - Use address from step 2 - pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -p Part00 -b 0x800 0 0x###### Part00.raw
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 for Part01, Part02 and Part03 ... MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT ADDRESSES
Partitions:
Part00 - Core XIP? (May have something to do with AutoUpdate)
Part01 - XIP
Part02 - OS IMGFS
Part03 - User Storage (TFAT)
Extract XIP (Part00 and Part01 ... You will need bepe's dumpxip.exe from ervius visual kitchen):
1) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part00.raw
2) Rename XIP folder to XIP_00 (ren XIP XIP_00)
3) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part01.raw
4) Rename XIP folder to XIP_01 (ren XIP XIP_01)
Extract IMGFS (Part02):
1) imgfstodump Part02.raw - This will create a folder called dump, and extract the contents to it.
View User Storage (Part03):
1) Mount Image using DaemonTools Lite
To rebuild flashable ROM from DUMP (Currently OS Only, No radio or SPL):
1) You need a base_os.nb.payload for your device ... See below for details
2) Convert OS IMGFS (Part02.raw) to nb.payload (new-os.nb.payload) imgfstonb Part02.raw base_os.nb.payload new-os.nb.payload
3) Insert XIP (Part01.raw) into new-os.nb.payload implantxip Part01.raw new-os.nb.payload
4) Merge os-new.nb.payload into os-new.nb nbmerge -kaiser new-os.nb
5) Create os-new.nbh nbhutil, Select "Touch_Pro2" under "Target Device", change RHOD*** to RHOD500, click the ... box next to OS, and select new-os.nb, click Build NBH and select where to save NBH file.
How to get a base os.nb.payload:
1) Download a stock ROM and extract RUU_Signed.nbh
2) Extract RUU_Signed.nbh nbhextract RUU_Signed.nbh - This will list the files extracted ... The one you need is ##_OS.nb ... Copy as os.nb copy ##_OS.nb OS.nb
3) Split OS.nb to OS.nb.payload nbsplit -kaiser OS.nb
4) Create OS.imgfs.bin imgfsfromnb OS.nb.payload OS.imgfs.bin
5) Create empty directory called 'DUMP' (If a DUMP folder exists, rename it) mkdir DUMP
6) Create a blank IMGFS file imgfsfromdump OS.imgfs.bin blank_imgfs.bin
7) Create base_os.nb.payload imgfstonb blank_imgfs.bin OS.nb.payload base_os.nb.payload

Dump SPL and Radio
Does anyone know how to do this?

Oh my god I found the answer on "how to dump a rom from the TP2"!
Could someone rename the topic in something like "official guide" or stick it?
I think it could be useful for a lot of people..

Aloha Man,
- i'm trying to use your tutorial to Dump and Rebuild an HTC ROSE (S740) ROM
- i'm at the point where i've downloaded the RUU_Signed, and folowed the above procedure until step 7
- in step 2, i've replaced ## in ##_OS.nb with 03, witch is the number of the file after nbhextract
- i can't find 03_OS.nb.payload and at step 7, the command spits out and error :
" ImgfsTools 2.1rc2>imgfstonb blank_imgfs.bin 03_OS.nb.payload base_os.nb.payload
ImgfsToNb 2.1rc2
Using bigstorage mode
Input file 03_OS.nb.payload cannot be opened. Exiting "
Should i rename
OS.nb.payload to 03_OS.nb.payload or change the syntax on the command input file accordingly ?
tks again alot for your help !

You are correct ... Step 7 should should not have the ##_ ... I have corrected the instructions above in my previous post. The command should be:
Code:
imgfstonb blank_imgfs.bin OS.nb.payload base_os.nb.payload

Aloha again,
i need some further clarifications if u are so kind :
- i've properly finished the "How to get a base os.nb.payload" section, so now i have a "base_os.nb.payload" file
- going back to point 2 of the section "To rebuild flashable ROM from DUMP (Currently OS Only, No radio or SPL)", i've succesfully executed points 2 and 3 , but when i go to try point 4 nbmerge spits out the following error :
"NBMerge 2.1rc2
Could not open input file os-new.nb.payload"
My Questions :
- where do u use the "base_os.nb.payload" file that's created at the "How to get a base os.nb.payload" step ? since the file is called "base_os.nb.payload" and in the command syntax description u call it : "base os.nb.payload"
- until point 4 of the "To rebuild flashable ROM from DUMP (Currently OS Only, No radio or SPL)" section in the syntax u use the name "new-os.nb.payload" for the file,
- from point 4 on u use the term "Merge os-new.nb.payload into os-new.nb" -> so os-new.nb.payload , and NBmerge is expecting "Could not open input file os-new.nb.payload" but until point for we've created a file called "new-os.nb.payload"
- shouldn't the syntax for the commands from point 2 thru 4 be what NBMerge is expecting ? meaning "os-new.nb.payload"
thanks again for your help!

When I get home from work today, I will run through the steps and eliminate any errors I find.

UrbanWarrior, I have updated the 'Build a Flashable ROM' section step 2 ... I changed the reference to 'os.nb.payload' to 'base_os.nb.payload' ... Let me know if you run into any other issues.

I was trying the steps for my HTCJade to dump my stock ROM. Things were going smoothly however, the step
"Insert XIP (Part01.raw) into new-os.nb.payload implantxip Part01.raw new-os.nb.payload"
fails with an error "XIP File not Specified!"
I noticed that the mentioned step is not following tha syntax of the command:
Usage: implantxip -XIP <xip.bin> -PAYLOAD <.nb.payload> [-ImgStart <hexvalue>] [
-uldr [tryremove] ] [-PP <MbValue>] [-NoCert]
The command expects "xip.bin" but i am giving the argument as Part01.raw as per the step.
What to do? Can anybody help.

DumpRom have any bug. it doesn't work well.

Hello,
I tried to extract nk.bin and it was extracted well.
But, dumprom have any bug.
After dumprom util extract files from nk.nb0, it change arm files to mips files.
I extracted files as the following steps;
First, download nk.bin from attached files.
One is arm nk.bin file for wince 5.0 and the other is arm nk.bin file for wince 6.0.
And, download nkbintools files to extract bin image files.
nkbintools also have dumprom util.
1. to dump the content of a nk.bin:
viewbin.exe nk.bin
(write down start and length)
2. cvrtbin -r -a START -w 32 -l LENGTH nk.bin
this command converts the nk.bin to a nk.nb0 (START and LENGTH from the command bevor)
3. dumprom.exe -d dump -v -5 nk.nb0
the content of the nk.bin will be written in the directory "dump". It must exists, otherwise an error occurs.
4. now, see files that is extracted and you will know that they are changed to MIPS files.
Anybody who know why they are changed MIPS files?

(Q)How to Replace IMGFS.bin into RUU_signed.nbh

I need to convert an existing imgfs.bin into RUU_signed.nbh.
Then flash HD7 with it.How can I do this?What tools needed?
Ask for help,Especially Ask for ansar‘s help.
Do someone know about the method?
How did ansar debanded the vendor rom before?

anybody concerned？

This tool not support new image imgfs.bin

maybe simply write the new os.nb with an hexeditor into your operator nbh
if you don’t have operator nbh flash with goldcard methode.
ansar know how to do this.

os.nb to *.nbh?? this not a problem, you write this in old method
Example:
Code:
cd tools
nbhimagetool -build ..\nb ..\nbh ..\xml\nbh.xml

what exactly this error mean ?

Please post all WP7 related questions in the WP7 Q&A section​

This is a really old method. Why not use OSBuilder?
