How do you dump a ROM?

[butterdori]

Hi,

I searched around and yet I couldn't find much on ROM dumping
Do you need a different utility for a different device? I'm guessing there is one for Diamond but I couldn't find one yet

Also, what do you need to do before dumping a rom? (is unlocking required etc.)

No unlocking won't change your ROM so unlock away!!

There is a utility that does the dumping for you and here it is..

Er... I don't quite understand how that works....

The instruction says..

Install EnableRapi.cab on the phone.
Run Partition Addresses.bat.
Read Partition.Addresses.bat to find the four addresses.
Edit Dump My Phone to include the four addresses in place of the words.
Run Dump My Phone.
Rar and Send!
-------------------------

Should I do this while the phone is connected by activesync?

Also, once I run Dump My Phone, it gives me an error that says that the device isn't ready.

You can try my dumping kitchen (http://download.ppcfreaks.de/HTC_Diamond/Dumpen.rar), it's very simple to use!
(sorry, it's german ^^)


Steps on how to dump an unprotected ROM:
- place your RUU_Signed.nbh inside the kitchen
- start "1a. Entpacken.bat" to unpack and dump the NBH file
- start "3. Packages erstellen.bat" to make packages inside the dump-folder
- pick out what you need from the dumped ROM

Good cooking! :)

you get two ways of "dumping rom".
both ways get an other result.

about your asking for first way, i think you are a beginner.

your problem will not the dumping of roms,
the problem would be getting the dumping-file back to your phone.

i think, you read many or some threads where you think to get easy answers.
but the answers would be allwasy the same "google/search for answer"

its not a good time for hardcore beginners ...

please try to explain with simple words, what you have done and what you want do.
(not only for your brain, take your fingers and make "tik tik tiktik.." on keyboard ... :-)

i asking this to you becaue for cooking and flashing you dont really need the specified answer of dumping roms. some kitchens looks BOAH-NOTHING UNDERSTAND, but at most, you need only copy ruu_signed.nbh to BaseRom and klicki-klicki BEGIN or START. than you get the rom-folders with easy understanding names (at most). for not needed programs delete files or folders. for the games you can delete all entertaionment-folders. for delete welcome.exe you have to delete one folder welcome.exe and the file welcome.exe.
this example is easy and at the same time one of the difficults thing by cooking. delete entertainment makes no problems. but delete welcome ... you have to know, what you do before you do it. without welcome.exe you cant fix your display with display-coordinates. and you have not the correct time. for getting a solution you need to study forums ... the coordinates of display can find in registry - > if you checked the registry before you starts to cook/flash. to get automatic time you need registry again, but its hard to get them.

sorry for big answer ....
