How to Dump a ROM

[jockyw2001]

Here is How to Dump a ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680)
(courtesy pof)

Make sure to upload both Part01.raw (XIP) and Part02.raw (IMGFS) !!
Put it on XDA FTP, Rapidshare or whereever.
It would be nice to have complete dumps from pre-production and normal models.

We can then reconstruct both ROMs as described here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356501).

I uploaded production ROM on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Smartphone/Wings/ROM%20(Production%20model)/

I am not sure if this matters, but i didn't install HardSPL on my device, i just backed up SPL and dumped ROM.

We have to wait for narthexs or rafuz with prepro ROM

I've got a pre-prod dump done by 'motin' some months ago.
Unfortunately he only dumped Part02.raw and Part01.raw is missing :(
Although from Part02.raw we can see which files are in it, it's not enough to reconstruct a ROM from the dump. So it's time for some other pre-prod owners to dump their ROM !

Furthermore I spoke with JugglerLKR, he is the genius behind the Kaiser ROM kitchen. He says that an official HTC base ROM for Wings is absolutely necessary to reconstruct a ROM from a dump. Of course it's just a matter of time before one appears, but if one of you stumbles over one please let us know.

So the Kaiser "RUU_signed.nbh" won't work to reconstruct Wings roms ? :(
If we have to wait for HTC to release a rom, it could be long :eek:

ok guys.Try HTC Rom tool with model WING**** :)
Good luck !

HTC Rom tool is working perfectly to convert the .nb files to .nbh with model WING**** .
The problem is here to make .nb files from the .raw's we dumped.
The Kaiser Kitchen can do it, but it also needs a "RUU_signed.nbh" file, next to the .raw's.
This "RUU_signed.nbh" file must be extracted from an official *WINGS* ROM update from HTC (using winRAR).
Jockyw2001 correct me if I'm wrong :D

That's correct :)

[butzchan]

That's correct :)

Official rom update, not official wings*** rom update?

[jockyw2001]

An official ROM update for Wings that is.

[butzchan]

An official ROM update for Wings that is.

So this is dead until HTC releases an update?? That sucks.

[jockyw2001]

not necessarily if we can determine the differences between pre-prod and prod

but for that we need a complete pre-prod dump first ...

I sent mails, private messages, icq messages to rafuz and some other guy here that have preproduction model, and also to one from MoDaCo forum, to dump that ROM but no respond yet.

It looks like we are so close, but not enough. :(

I started this thread. I know that there are a few floating around over there.

[amaric]

Some good news!! :) :) :)

Rafuz replied to my mail! He really wants to help but travels a lot so can't access internet all the time. I sent him all the instructions how to dump the ROM and he will contact me when it's done.

[A.Bagatov]

thanks armac!! we are so close... hope its not hardware problem

[amaric]

I want to say BIG THANK YOU to rafuz!!!!

ROM dump is uploaded here ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Smartphone/Wings/ROM%20(Pre-production%20model)/S730_Pre_Prod.zip

So, what can we do with it and without official HTC base ROM??

[jockyw2001]

First of all Rafuz' Part02.raw (Imgfs) is byte-identical to the one I already had from Motin :)

I did some comparisons of pre-prod and prod and there are definitely essential differences. In the pre-prod both HTCGPSTool.exe and GPSRouter are referenced a couple of times, whereas these two are not referenced in the prod Part02.raw at all.

Ok, next is to find a base ROM and to cook a pre-prod OS :)

[amaric]

So we are stuck until HTC releases official ROM upgrade?

Look like it, but I'm still researching.

Is it possible to flash Part01 back on device? I changed page pool (6 MB -> 4 MB) size but cant write it...

c:\x>pdocwrite -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0x360000 Part01.raw
CopyFileToTFFS(0:0, 360000, 00000000)
ERROR: Unable to open host/destination file

[jockyw2001]

No, better don't experiment with pdocwrite !
