[Grab_it_256 and 512] Dumprom.exe and Grab_it?

[nitro66215]

I have modified the source for Grab_it designed by Buzz in this thread HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945) to dump a 256MB rom. From what I can tell, it does do this. I get a dump.bin at 256MB. My problem is further processing this file. Dumprom.exe, from what I see, doesn't understand this file, and therefore just errors out. Is this also the 128MB limitation? Can dumprom.exe be modified, or is there a new version that I'm missing?

[WatskeBart]

I see that your can modify the grab_it tool. So can i ask you to make a 512MB version for the HTC Raphael users i would be very very grateful you have no idea :D

I asked it in the original thread but no response whatsoever. I can't help you with the processing of the file because i can't create a bin yet i hope :p.
Maybe it's possible to use pdocread.exe for further processing but maybe i'm just talking crap here :o because this is al new for me.

Try this and let me know.

pdocread is used to read from the actual phone. This is done already using the grab_it tool. At least from what I've seen.

[nitro66215]

Added my 256MB version to the first post. I still haven't figured out a way to process it further. :(

[WatskeBart]

Sorry for late reaction. I've eaten first then had a long discussion with my girl :p
I'm dumping the rom as we speak and will post result in a few minutes.
I hope that we can figure out how to disassemble the dump.bin.

[WatskeBart]

If i have to believe dferreira in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1690470&postcount=242) post u can use imgfstools to convert .bin to .nbh.

P.S. I also get a error when trying your 512MB version.


Error on WriteFile.
Card full?


I use a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card to dump which is completly empty except on the folder 2577 and autorun.exe

EDIT: I also tried a regular 2GB Sandisk still not working :( the progress bar stops very early and quits at 9.5MB of dump.bin

[nitro66215]

I've tried. It errors with the below message.

Compression DLL does not support compression type ''!

nevermind. I was using the wrong tool.

ImgfsToDump is supposed to dump the imgfs file. dump.bin is not a valid imgfs file. The dump is more than just the OS.

You're so right i forgot about that so we need to split it in the right sections first like .raw files when dumping with pdocread.exe.

I'll ask dferreira if he had any success, because he claimed that he converted it with imgfstools.exe

damn. sorry. I'm at home, and need to download the development tools to this computer. Give me a few. Unfortunately, I don't have a 512MB device to test this on. So, you'll have to be my tester.

[WatskeBart]

No problemo to be your tester because i think u can make this a great tool.

P.S. The last dump i tried ended up with a 512KB dump.bin :confused:
I also cannot PM buzz_lightyear because he disabled that function :p
We're on our own.

I'm going to sleep now it's 23.47 over here, i'll check back in the morning.

[nitro66215]

I actually loaded this 512MB version on my 256MB titan. It never errored, but once it got halfway (256MB worth) it froze the phone. That, I expected. So, try this compilation and let me know how it works.

[WatskeBart]

Hi mate,

I tried your v4i version lastnight but still no go. It stops at 9.5MB and then shutsdown the app.
I'll post back after the weekend because i'm having a little holiday with no laptop :( :p I might check the forum on my TP.

same error? I wish I had a 512MB device to test this on. I don't see how this would fail. Have you re-formatted the SD card? Is it Fat32?

Thanks for that. I at least got the 256MB working on the Titan. LOL

[WatskeBart]

I always format my card before trying and it's FAT32.

I will check the buzz thread and site if he made any updates.

Wierd. Let him know that I had to patch several sections of his code to just get it working. He can PM me and I can talk to him about his code.

[WatskeBart]

I've just sended him a PM on his own website i hope he will respond and help us out here.
I really got to have that tool :D

[WatskeBart]

No response so far :(

Is there anyone who can help us with the Grab_it tool from buzzlightyear?

[nitro66215]

Sorry, I've been out sick for a few days. It would be nice if there were other testers. I can upload my source that works on the 256MB version upon request. The 256MB ones on his site do not save a 256MB file. And by looking at the source he posted, I found a few parts that did need editing in order to get it to work. The 512MB version that I edited only required the start location and end location along with dumpsize to be changed. I'm not sure why it is erroring on the Raphael, unless there is a permissioning issue.

Noob Question. Is the Kaiser 256Mb?

If so I'll give it a Test. I might also be able to test a Diamond...

I would assume so. The 256MB version doesn't give any error, and does save a 256MB file. You can try it. As far as further processing the file, that's something I haven't quite figured out.

[nitro66215]

No response so far :(

BTW, try the 256MB version. It will only save 256MB of the rom, but at least you'll know if it's doing something. If it still errors, then it's possible there is something special that needs to be done with permissions or something.

[DaveShaw]

With 256Mb Versin from Post #1

"WriteError. Card Full?" after 9Mb (I have 5Gb Free).

Dave

[nitro66215]

Same error the 512MB gave. That's strange. Works fine for me. I wonder if it has anything to do with the card. I have a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card. Not a SDHC card.

My card is in my sig :)

Might be the problem. SDHC. Do you have a flashing card? Non SDHC?

[WatskeBart]

Hi there nitro,

I still had no reply whatsoever from buzz_lightyear, so i guess we are on our own. :(
I wish i was a superb programmer so i could fix this issue.

[boyli]

It works on my Toshiba G810 with sandisk 8gb micro sdhc class 4 .
(the software on the fisrt post)

[WatskeBart]

Lucky you with the Toshiba G810 :D

I hoped it would work on a Raphael.
Since i'm not a programmer i'll just have to wait untill someone develop's the app that will do the trick.

[cnbenson]

It works on MY Glofiish DX900. THKS

[cnbenson]

I have grab the ROM(256MB) with AutoRun_armv4_256.zip . It's looks OK. When I view the contents of dump.bin with editor, I found a big problem.
0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 3FFF, the boot.bin
ox0000 4000 to ox0000 7FFF, the boot.bin
......
repeat to the end.

[mbarvian]

i might know how to process it

can someone please post a dump.bin, and I'll see if I can extract the XIP.bin and imgfs.bin from it, then post here on how to :)

thanks for modifying this tool ;)

[cnbenson]

Dear mbarvian,
The annexes are the dump file from Glofiish DX900 and the official upgrade file.
1, DUMP.bin By Grab_it, http://www.brsbox.com/filebox/down/fc/212897e0cc4c2f56c3734c7d52eb4671
2, Upgrade file by ETEN, http://www.brsbox.com/filebox/down/fc/596be3b92c3729531f69292c8c68d346

Looking for your result.

Many thanks.
