Samsung i900 Omnia rom backup help

[efjay]

Hi to all the Samsung experts, I currently have a Samsung i900 and am looking for a way to extract my rom and create a flashable format. I have used pdocread to extract 3 .raw files but am not sure how to proceed from here. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

[The Solutor]

Hoping that the i780 istruction can be used for the omnia, the relevant posts are here..

Thanks, I have read those threads, problem is you apparently need a flashable .bin to start with which in this case I do not so am looking for a way to use the .raw files only. Do you know if that is possible?

No you don't need the bins, you can start from the raw files.

Just look at the famusc kitchen and read the included instructions.

Ok here is a way to dump the nb file and then dump its contents.I have already done that, including xip :D
Use itsutils and following command in dos window :
psdread -1 0 0xDISKSIZE os.nb

Then use imgfs tools or tazio tools to dump, and further processing.

We need now how to flash back the custom os.nb to omnia
still searching for sd card flashing combinations

[efjay]

@The Solutor: I have read the famusc kitchen docs and it explicity states you need an existing .bin PDA rom. However there are a few commands in there that may be worth checking out.

@hdubli: I will try the command you suggested later today. What are the tazio tools? And dont Samsung phones use .bin files to flash rather than .nb?

[mievalt]

You don't need the bin.

Here step by step:

- Downlad and install the kitchen
- Copy Part02.raw into the kitchen folder
- Open cmd and type: ImgfsToDump Part02.raw (This will create dump folder)
- Execute RecreateBin.exe

You got your bin file!!!! ;)

Do you mean RecreateBin.bat? There is no RecreateBin.exe and looking at the contents of the .bat file I dont think it will work as it makes reference to i780 files which I dont have and most likely wont work with the Omnia.

imgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin new_imgfs.bin
del imgfs_raw_data.bin
ren new_imgfs.bin imgfs_raw_data.bin
make_imgfs i780.nb0.payload.body -nosplit
merge i780.nb0.payload.header i780.nb0.payload.body i780.nb0.payload
nbmerge -data 2048 -extra 8 i780.nb0 -conservative

[mievalt]

yes it is the .bat file sorry.
I780 should just be name of the files that you get at the end...
I can't say if it works you just have to give it a try...
But that would be the way we do it with our i780 roms...

Try and report. You should get a i780.bin file.... otherwise it should stop with an error.

I have a Samsung Omnia German version and would like to get the english version. Anybody know where to find the WWE ROM and CID unlock or what i need to install it?

[Cutefox]

[homer285]

would like to try reverse it see if can extract the data for the accelerometer
it looks like a .bin file and oddly enough executing it changed all my Atom .nb0 files to 'open with' USDL4...

Do kitchen tools exist or Perhaps somebody could be commisioned to make tools for us, I'd be up for that!

[Cutefox]

Do you mind sharing your steps or tools you used to convert Part02.raw to a nb file?

I have been trying to use the i780 Kitchen but I have trouble converting the original bin file to nb0. Would appreciate if you can share.

[ITKingdom]

Done Got it it took some time.

Thank you!

Please show your step ^^, I really want to know that because I'll buy a CDMA version of i900 (I live in Korea now and it is only CDMA version and has Korean)

Any ROMS for it? I cant read and understand Korean in i900 :((

Hi i have problems when i try to backup my rom, it's genuine orange uk rom.
When i type pdocread -l i got this:
"Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version"

when i try to change the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies 00001001 key from 2 to 1 i got access denied. My registry is locked so i can't make dump. Please help.

[prpetrov]

anyone can't help?

[twein]

You must use a registry editor signed by something the phone trusts already! RegEditSTG http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/files/regeditSTG.zip will do the trick as it is already signed by HTC.

Copy the exe onto the device, launch it and change the policies as follows:

Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Click "Values" soft-key
Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)
Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)
Reboot device.

Tried this first but every folder in registry has a keylock and can't expand it. Other solution needed. :(

Hello all,
I have used both methods to get the following

The method referred to by The Solutor to get:
Part00.raw
Part01.raw
Part02.raw

and

The method recommended by alf007 to get:
i900.nb

What next? and what's the difference between a .nb file and a .nb0 file?

I'm trying to backup my current ROM into an executable file to flash back into the device for backup just in case or at least to an bin file provided there is a way to restore that bin file onto the device.

Thanks all in advance

[lastnikita]

hi mates, anyone knows how to dump eboot/CSC/phone parts now ?

Thanks !

[lastnikita]

I have used both methods to get the following

The method referred to by The Solutor to get Part02.raw
and
The method recommended by alf007 to get i900.nb

unfortunately both of them are useless if we can't find a way to get them back to a flashable .bin (and osnbtools reports invalid part size :()

[JediKnight14]

I am having a minor/major problem with this - I have a original Czech ROM which i want to backup, but when inputting the command psdread -1 0 0x8152800 i900XXHJ1.img I get following error: ITReadSDCard - Parameter is incorrect.

I am using the correct size for the ROM, but i have no idea why it won't let me dump the ROM. Any ideas?

[Grondinm]

You don't need the bin.

Here step by step:

- Downlad and install the kitchen
- Copy Part02.raw into the kitchen folder
- Open cmd and type: ImgfsToDump Part02.raw (This will create dump folder)
- Execute RecreateBin.exe

You got your bin file!!!! ;)

hey guys so i have the 3 files dumped from my omniai910 i can get the data to dump(using imgfstodump) but i can't get it to a flashable format. i tried using these steps but i get this error

Maximum ROM size (0x8000000) reached, aborting!

after it processes a bunch of files.....my original part02.img is 150mb. is that somehow to big..?? what am i doing wrong?

[erichkooi]

Hi mievalt,
I able to dump all the files into dump folder but when I run RecreateBin, it just pop up and close the cmd windows. I unable to locate the bin file.

Any idea?
