Finally able to extract imgfs and xip from Stock Rom

---

For everyone who has an LG Quantum, I was finally able to extract the xip and imgfs from the stock rom and see what the insides look like. To do it, I modified the lgextract program, which was written for the LG KS20, whose rom image is similar in format to the quantum's. I will post my version of lgextract either later today or tomorrow for your amusement. From there, you can use the latest version of the htc rom editor to get the imgfs.bin and xip.bin. As of now, there is no way to piece it all back together for flashing, so custom roms are, unfortunately, not possible yet. The only annoyance (you could also call it a bug if you wanted to), is that you have to remove the rom header manually with a hex editor to make it work with the htc rom editor (but I am currently working on a version to do it automatically).

On another note, I did find out that the manufacturer program can read and write to the registry, so I could also write a program to view and edit the registry if there is enough need as to do registry editing on the quantum.


Update: I have fixed the program to do all the extraction automatically so you can automatically just open up the nb file in the HTC Rom Image Editor and see what goods are inside. However, there's still no way to create custom roms yet. As for the registry editor, I can't do anything until I get back in school and I have a chance to talk to the CS department at school about getting my quantum developer unlocked via Microsoft Dreamspark.

You can use the dz file found in one of the other LG Quantum threads here with the program. If you have any questions, feel free to post or pm me.

Very nice! Just a question, is this similar to using a hex editor to edit the seed files from the old razr phones? Or a registry editer like wm6.5? Just wondering.
