Hi all,

I am still new to XDA and everything that comes with the Magician :)
If the awnser to my question is somewhere on this forum than i am sorry i could not find it.

But anyways here is my problem. I would like to copy everything from my Magician to my Desktop PC. This aint easy thanks to Microsoft :evil:

I searched XDA and the internet for days now and the best results that i found where the XDA tools. I managed to use "pmemdump.exe" to copy the ROM to my Desktop PC and used "dumprom.exe" to extract everything from the dump. And this is the point where i am stuck, cause after extracting the dump i noticed that i am missing things. After more research i think that only the Bootloader and OS ROM are unpacked to my Destop PC.

I used these commands with the XDA tools
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x4000000 Magician_ROM\0_CompleteRom.bin
dumprom -4 -d Magician_ROM\CompleteRom Magician_ROM\0_CompleteRom.bin
I also tried to dump and extract the ROM in parts:
80000000-80040000: BootLoader
80040000-82400000: osROM
82c00000-83f00000: extended rom
83f80000-83fc0000: bootsplash image
83fc0000-84000000: device version + type information
When i tried this the Bootloader and OS ROM unpacked succesfully, but the other parts generated an hanging "dumprom.exe" :(
If there is anyone around here who could help me just a little bit. It would be very appriciated.

Thnx, The SRK.
