Code:
nbsplit -kaiser os.nb
RomMaster -x -w 5 OS.nb.payload -s 0x320000 -o xip.bin
dumprom xip.bin -5 -d XIP
nbsplit is from imgfs tools 2.1rc2 vesion.
but i can not get xip folder and dump folder.
i think there's no problem of this
Code:
nbsplit -kaiser os.nb
and
dumprom xip.bin -5 -d XIP
and i think the problem is in this:
Code:
RomMaster -x -w 5 OS.nb.payload -s 0x320000 -o xip.bin
many many thanks in advance.

And one stupid question i forgot to do before, do you have an XIP folder created inside this one you are? If not, make one writing "md XIP" and try again the dumprom command...

There are some problem with the extracted xip.bin file, and don't know why fail.
The size for dumped XIP from live Kaiser have different size with this xip.bin file from NB file. I can extract the XIP folder from dumped XIP (3.584Kb) but the same tool fail with the extracted from NB file XIP (3.038Kb). So seems the RomMaster.exe is not doing the work fine, but don't know why.
The good news is you can use a part01.raw from any device to get the XIP and extract the content. If you look for dumped ROMs on the forum, you couldfind many.
Cheers.

Great finding, man. Sure this helps more ppl...
Many thanks for sharing this version of rommaster (and thanks to your frined too, of course...)
I'll give a try later...
EDIT: Yes, works fine... One strange thing is dumped XIP is bigger than extracted from NB ship... just strange... who knows.

The mistake...
I beleave i found the mistake...
I your first post you have this line...
RomMaster -x -w 5 OS.nb.payload -s 0x320000 -o xip.bin
And in your last post the line was
RomMaster.exe -x -w 5 -b 0x320000 OS.nb.payload -o xip.bin
Can you see the difference? Yes, the -s instead -b....
I compare the version of RomMaster you posted, and my version, and are the same, so the big deal is the -b instead -s
Cheers.

i found that but with old rommaster, -d don't work, there are some differences between these two, i think.
for cooking magician's rom, there is also a rommaster, but these three is also different.
the old rommaster i post in the first page, with that one, there is no problem during dumping hermes's xip.

I thought that I already told you the correct command for dumping kaiser xip is:
Code:
RomMaster -w 5 OS.nb.payload -x -b 0x320000 -o xip.bin
thats all.. -b is the key (ROM begin at)..

thank you very much helmi_c, the problem is the vesion of rommaster i have is different from yours, i used -b, it said that the parametre is incorrect.
now it works fine, thanks for your help

@qooqoo: My RomMaster version is 2.3. What is the old one you used? I was looking in my computer for all RomMaster.exe files, and all are the same version...anyway, thanks to helmi_c for helping here
I think was a good idea to put this ussefull info about extracting the XIP from NB file in the Wiki... any volunteer?
Cheers.

[Cooking] About XIP and initflashfiles.dat

I'm triyng to cook a wm6 ROM, only for fun.
I extracted the XIP with this command:
Code:
RomMaster os.nb -v 0 -w 5 -b 0x00217800 -x -o xip.bin
mk xip
dumprom xip.bin -5 -d XIP >NUL
strangely I found the initflashfiles.dat in XIP section and not in IMGFS section.
This send in error the buildos.exe.
How Can I solve?
I've to move initflashfiles to OEM/OEMLANG?
Another question.
THe newest utility from Bepe (Buildxip) Does it work fine with excalibur?

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.

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 ?
Failed to init decompression

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

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