Hello, I know I can use a tool called Unyaffs so I can extract files from the images created by Custom recovery, I need to get the files out of a Brazil Eclair nandroid backup in order to enable 3G in my area, since mine is USA ROM, which does not have 850 band enabled, what files do I need to extract in order to do it? thanks!!!
did you try any of the files here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258
Actually, I am using one of them right now (Argentina flash file) but since I did it, I'm getting problemas during calls, like noise in the background, the voice cutting out, and theses situations never happened before flashing this, I guess it might be because this flash file is Froyo and I'm using Eclair :/
it is located on \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default

Hey,
I tried to pot my Treo back to WM6 from Vodafone with the original updater, but it keeps telling me that my device is not supported because of language issues (Right now there is WM6.1 working on it in english and I need to flash the German WM6). when I open the installer with WINRAR I can see a couple of *.nbh files (cheeimg.nbh and cheeimg_fw.nbh). Is it eventually possible to just take one of them and flash it? or do they anyway require to have a preinstalled stock ROM to update with them? And why are there so many other files in, when i usually actually just need one nbh file as a rom?
Thanks for helping me understand my phone

i d like to know that aswell. did you fixed the issue by now?
If you want to use the official updater you need to modify the payloads.xml file.
You can find it by opening the official updater, but don't start the upgrade. Opening the updater will extract a bunch of files to your TEMP folder. The payloads.xml file will be in one of the subfolders. The folder is called something random so you'll have to seach for it, but you'll see a bunch of Palm icons in it so you'll know you're there.
You can edit the payloads.xml file with any text editor. Notepad works fine.
If you are changing carriers as part of the update, you will probably need to change the carrier code to the one matching the currently installed ROM. This is AT&T, for example.
Code:
<carrier_codes>CNG,ATT</carrier_codes>
I think Vodofone is VF, but you'll have to do some searching to confirm that.
Then you need to change the revision range to allow the downgrade.
Code:
<revision_range>
<low>1.13</low>
<high>3.00</high>
</revision_range>
Save it when you are done, and then start the updater. It should work. If not, there are plenty of posts here about downgrading ROM's, so search around until you find something that works for you.
And yes, you can extract the ROM's from a desktop updater and flash using the SD card method, assuming of course you have successfully HardSPL'd your phone. You need the CHEEIMG_FW.nbh file, but must rename it to CHEEIMG.nbh before putting it on the SD card.
You don't need to Hard-SPL in order to flash official Palm WM ROMs from a MiniSD.
I am trying to convert a MZ600 to MZ601.
I assume there are no actual hardware differences, but only software.. and I have not found any sources/info proving otherwise...
I have allready fastboot-flashed system/user/boot/recovery of MZ601 Europe stock images, to my VZN MZ600 Xoom and everything works fine except the mobile-network ofcourse...
(btw SIM is working!)
So how can I flash the baseband to the European one ?
Is the radio.img all I need ?
In that case, can somebody send me one?
I have tryied a full EU firmware flash with RSDlite, but I get an error "Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file." so I cant start flashing...
Any ideas?
Thanks
I saw in other thread you have gsm sbf, perhaps using sbf recalc or sbf depacker you can extract its radio image..
please check this link

I thought the recovery / img files were on motorola's website now?
Thanks lesjaw , I will try..
(I did a search for sbf extractors but did not find those ones! )
Lothaen , motorola gives away the common partitions, (userdata/system/boot/recovery) and not the hardcore ones such as the radio one!
lesjaw, I tried both software. They both allow me to split files, from the SBF.
That results into 13 SMG files, which I assume are partitions (and something else?)
What format are these ? can I open them ? How do I identify the radio.img
is the IMG format same as SMG ?
MotoAndroidDepackerMono, has an option to extra radio.img, but thats from an update.zip, which I what I am trying to create
i see, honestly I never use those app, in sunday i'll give a shot..
btw, you can join #milestone-modding in freenode (irc), many of those members channel have good experience regarding sbf file..
good luck brother..
Any idea anyone, how to identify the radio image, from a SBF extract to SMG files ?
Once identified, can I use an SMG file as a "radio.img" ?
HMJ37 sbf
Motorola did just release a few days ago a new sbf for the MZ600 that is the full HMJ37 version. Here is the full file name out of the latest spreadsheet for anyone with RSD access:
VZW_MZ600_Signed_HMJ37_Signed_MDM6600BP_C_02.0F.00R_SW.combo.sbf
I think he needs an image from MZ601, not MZ600!
its been quite some time, and have not yet found an answer to this problem!!..
attached is the export from the SBF file of MZ601
I asume one of these files, is the radio.img , correct ? which one is it?
Can I do a fastboot flash radio radio.img ,using one of these files!?
Is it safe to try with the user partition to confirm my theory ? (I can identify it, from the byte size)
I tried to open the images with unyaffs-x86-win and cygwin but I always get an error message "broken image file" even on motorola's official images, hence I've got something else wrong (?)
So many questions left unanswered for so long! and I though XOOM was for hardcore android users!

Are you sure that's from a MZ601 and not a Wi-Fi only MZ604 (see the "HUBBLE" and "WIFI" strings)?
You cannot fastboot flash the radio partition (which probably is called something like bpsw given this is a Motorola device). Given that these are proprietary firmware blobs, do not expect to get far assuming that these are yaffs/ext/whatever filesystem images.
thisi is where i found the SBF
http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?t=10571
so I assume it has the radio partition.
So if I can not extract it from the SBF, how are all these baseband update zip been constructed on all other tablets/phones ? why are there none for XOOM eventhout various baseband versions exist ?
or this h.6.2 means that should be for mz604(wifi only) so it should contain no baseband image. ?
convert mz600 to mz601
hello all,
nikil511 , did you found any solution? i'd really like to convert my mz600 to mz601 !
concerning the sbf, because of the name we know it's from the wifi xoom.
but as info, the radio is cg5
regards
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/everest/list.php here new full image
in amms_sec.mbn
we can find string for new firmware VTHUBBLE_N_01.100.07P
or in rdl1.smg ..
how to use it? or convert to .img in .zip file ?
i do it

New to Android, about 3 weeks now with my Rogers 1727R. I've been trying to grab all the good files and build my understanding of returning my phone to it's stock ROM if I have to return it or if I brick it etc. But I seem to have downloaded, from this forum, so many files, with different names and files sizes, I'm confused about what does what. So I'm asking any senior people here if they can tell me what I have, what it does, and whether I need it. Here goes:
Stock_ROM_SGH-I727R-UCKJ2-k0nane.7z - Think this is a stock ROM but un-bloated. It's 257 MB.
i727_stock_kernel_odin.tar - It's 10 MB, appears to be a stock AT&T ROM, but perhaps just the kernel, not the whole ROM?
Stock Recovery.tar - It's 6.08 MB. Downloaded it today.
Nandroid backup - 841 Megs with data.ext4.tar, system.ext4.tar, boot.img and recovery.img which I thought was a complete image of my ROM.
Look at the size differences. From 6 MB up to 841 MB. What the heck are all these files?

the .7z file is a 7zip archive of the stock UCKJ2 rom...you would need to use 7zip to extract the contents before flashing with ODIN
the .tar file you listed is indeed just the kernel, not the entire rom, and it is from the AT&T version
stock recovery.tar is exactly that. its the stock recovery to replace clockwork mod should you need to return to that.
your nandroid backup is the entire system, a direct image of everything you had on your phone when you created it. this includes all settings, installed apps, etc

So let's say I wanted to get back to my ROM the way it was the day I bought it. The Nandroid backup was done after rooting the day I bought it. So if I uncompressed the .7z file, is that what I would flash to get me back to square one, or the Nandroid backup?

the nandroid will get you back to the way YOU set it up. it wouldnt do squat for getting it back to stock.
the 7z file should take you back to stock.
its not complicated, you are just overthinking it.
a nandroid backup is YOUR backup, nobody elses. its an image of YOUR phone as YOU set it up. if you made the nandroid after rooting, and you restore from the nandroid, you will still have root, because its a direct image of your rooted phone. it will include all your settings, installed apps, and configurations.
That is very helpful. Last question.
What is a Stock Recovery file? You referred to it, and I see it's a rather small file, so it's not a ROM or Kernel. The name makes it sound like it's my stock ROM.
I know it has to do with CWM.
Any edification would be helpful.
Please keep questions in the Q&A section.....Thank you.
No recovery is not the rom. Recovery is like if u owned a computer around 1995 you had ms dos and windows well dos would allow you to make changes to windows that would not affect dos. Pretty much same thing. Recovery is where you flash the roms from but the roms do not change recovery. Cwm is clock work mod recovery . If you used odin to flash stock firmware tar tht woukd change your recovery from cwm to the stock recovery but i do now see we have a recovery tar where u can just flash the recovery tar but not the entire stock firmware tar.... to be honest id suggest doing alot of reading before you start messing with these things

Get on youtube and look up videos by qbking you can learn alot from them there for the epic not our device but u can more understand the basics if u watch them
Hi,
I'm trying to install a STOCK ROM OGD/OI6 or OK3 in my N920P Note 5, but I don't want root and I want my original rom (to avoid kernel messages while booting), so, I'm trying to unpack system.img to delete some files like handsfree activation, sprint apps, voicemail and other.
I tried sgs2toext4, ext4unpacker and nothing, no working (ext4unpacker shows unknown file format), so, maybe someone can help me to unpack system.img files (I'm using Windows but I can try with Ubuntu or Linux if is possible).
Any guide? tutorial? software? to unpack system.img
Thank you so much

If you don't want root just take the Ota and you will update to the latest firmware.

I've the OTA and Sprint Unlocked Note 5, but to delete handsfree activation (every time I'm connected to WiFi it start to attemp activation), boot animation, sprint zone and other apps I need to be root or unpack the system.img
I've tested with other roms like LG G3 and it works, but Samsung (lollipop) is different, so I'm looking for something to do it
P.S. I'm asking about this because my phone is for international use
Im still expirmenting with different ways of possibly, hopefully, someday over the rainbow, getting my S7 successfully downgraded. Ive taken so much time waiting for things to copy and paste, and convert, and made a custom firmware hours later, only for odin to either freeze or straight up shut down after reaching file analysis... so im exploring other ways. im not sure if its a good idea to flash only parts of the firmware? like just the AP files?
I wish samsung would allow us to say "I dont care if my phone isnt as secure" and then their butts are covered cuz we consented and we can still downgrade the bootloader and android version as desired.
i cant find any information on how to make a disk image into an lz4 file (as in oreo) since that one system file from the marshmallow stock is simply a disk image, so i went about it the other way and removed the lz4 from all of the oreo files, making them all either plain .bin or plain .img files except leaving the pit file and the meta data folder alone, and then repackaged them back into the same categorized tar.md5 files. odin checks them as legit, but just wont actually *DO* anything with them... so i got looking into my old s5 neo rom and saw that it was a 1 file version and wondered.... maybe i can make a 1 file version with a combination of the files i need/want, all into one custom tar.md5 and then maybe *that* will at least attempt a flash..... has anyone else tried this? or has already been thought about and failed?.... I only want that oreo rom with the marshmallow system image... is it really so impossible??
So glad I have an Appsung device... theyre locking their stuff down just as hardcore so... why not merge the names. Sampple is another option. heh.
