Hi,
I am new to this site and have been reading various posts and sites trying to piece this together, but I definitely have areas in which I am confused.
Please correct anything I have wrong.
I have a xv6700 and been attempting to extract the ROMs out of curiosity.
If I am correct these (HTC) phones have 3 separate ROM sections.
ROM - main OS
Extended ROM - Provider add ons
Radio ROM - Deals with radio hardware specific to the device
I used mamaich's TestDump.exe to dump what I assume is my main ROM. This file was 60 meg.
I then used dumprom -5 to extract files from this image file. I read some where that the imports table may be shifted by a DWORD but for example coredll.dll looks fine.
The resulting files don't look to be the whole OS.
For example: Some programs I downloaded have imports from cellcore.dll which is missing from my dump.
Are this the appropriate path for extracting the ROM?
I have seen mention of unlocking the Extended ROM and have looked at a download of said Extended ROM. It does appear to contain cabs related to provider software.
What is in the Radio ROM and how does one extract it?
There are also some terms I can't seem to find definitions for, mostly file types.
I have downloaded other ROMs in order to study them and have seen these types.

I really want to understand the OS before I consider modifying it. Has anyone been successful modifying the ROM for this phone?
Thank you for any help provided and will gladly take links to the information. I am not looking to be spoon fed information but rather I am a fellow traveler asking for directions.
