Hi, I searched over and over and I can't seem to get an answer on this, so if anyone with more knowledge than me could answer I'd be thankful.
I was thinking of dumping the rom from my Touch Dual so I ran pdocread -l and I got a result differing from what the wiki, and other pages got.

Addresses in bold differs from the ones in wiki.

/..pdocread.exe -l

Part02 and part03 differs from what the wiki says, now I wonder if this is specific to the phone and if I'm supposed to change the addresses
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x4560000 Part02.raw
to
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x5060000 Part02.raw
and same for part 03.

I really just want to be sure to be able to rebuild my old rom "just in case" beeing that it's clean and in swedish language.

The dump values you've seen might be only for the Kaiser, if you read the same dump tutorial like me!

And there are some differences between two ROMs from different providers or different versions, too! Take the values you get after the pdocread -l command, it's the safest way to dump your ROM in a valid RAW file!




To rebuild these RAW files later, you need Niki Kitchen from NetrunnerAT!

Thanks, i dumped with the new values and I'll try and rebuild it later. Is it in some way possible to see if the ROM rebuild was sucessfull, or do I have to flash it to be sure?

I'm pretty new to this stuff, this wasn't all too hard on my old S100 :p

Doctajay or Doctaj or someone has some video tutorials up for the Kaiser. That's how I learnt. No linkage sorry.

The link to the video tutorials for the Kaiser are in the Niki Wiki. I've put it there a while ago.

Ok, I'm struggling here, trying to rebuild my current ROM..

It is mentioned in the video tutorial that I need a RUU_signed.nbh, question is, what does that file contain.
Can I just use any WWE rom for this or is this file language specific?

Also, do I have to flash a radio into the ROM or could I just leave it?

Sorry for beeing a n00b but I want the cooking to be done properly :)
