grab_it - invisible ROM dumper

[negatong]

Hi buzz, how is the 'How to dump and create ROM upgrade package'? Now, I have the dumped 'mdacomp2.nba', and I have decoded the downloaded official upgrade ROM. But I just wanna know how to replace the decoded ROM with my dumped one. Really need your guide.

HERE is how to decode/encode Universal's nk.nbf (with nice pictures) )) I will also do another "How to dump and create ROM upgrade package". Just to make it quick here (coz i have to go in few minutes), once you decode it, insert your CHT dump, done with pdocread into decoded nk.nba using Hex editor. keep the original .nba header. Then just encode it again and then flash it. buzz

EDIT: I'm getting somewhere but a compile on the .cpp gives :-

--------------------Configuration: grab_it - Win32 (WCE ARMV4) Debug--------------------
Compiling...
grab_it.cpp
c:\documents and settings\paul\desktop\grab_it.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
Error executing clarm.exe.

grab_it.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


I admit that this is all new to me but I'm just trying to compile the CPP source to run on the Axim X50.


EDIT: Would some kind person compile it and post a copy here ?

Is there an unwritten rule here that means anyone new gets ignored? :P

I have put the code and binaries on http://www.hjgode.de/dev/grabit/index.htm. Although a WM2005 device has much ROM, this is related to the new Persistent Storage feature. Not all of this ROM is filled with ROM code or XIP files. The ROM will also save all apps you install during a battery loss.
The binaries are actually limitted to dump 128MB. Use the source code and change this (or send me a request), if you think you need a version that dumps 256MB ROM.

You dont need stdafx.h and some more of the includes at the beginning of the source file. You should start a empty win32 project in embedded Visual C++ 4 and simply add the source file. Before it compiles, it maybe you have to fiddle with the project and build settings

Thanks for the info and the code! VERY much appreciated.

Hi !
Does Grab_it is compatible with my Tornado SPV C600 ? What version should i use?
I have a 1Go mini SD Card...

It's very amazing to see experimented people making tools for beginner... Thank's a lot.

I'm trying to use this on my ETEN M600, I hex edited the file to point to the SD Card (which is SDMMC, instead of Storage Card, or Mini-SD). It creates a dump.bin file, however it only appears to be the first 512kb of the ROM, even though the file size is 128mb. In looking at the first 512kb, it appears that it got the ETEN M600 Bootloader.

I need to try get some files off of the ETEN M600, specifically the btagext.dll which is the custom AT Command Extension Module.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

I've been reading carefully and with great interest all the posts.
Grab_it seems to be the solution I'm looking for.

Here is my problem : I have a Dell Axim x51 in English (coming from the US). I can get exactly the same model with a French OS. What I would like to do is get the bin of the French X51 and Flash the US one to get both in French.

From all the posts, I think I will be able to get the bin from the French X51. But next ? How can I flash the US X51 to turn it into French ?
