As i only can flash my device trough the SD card
i can't find any 1.72.181
. nb1 romimage for SD-cards.
I would appriciate i sombody could help me where to find it...
sorry for my poor english..
sorry to ask, but where can i read the method of sd flashing an XDAII?
Or can you explain plz ?
see the following link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93
Comment on this link.
To get the wrigth formation on the SD card is to Download the "old OS"
to the card and then to put the new os on top of that. This will assure you to have the rigth format, to make XDa "booth up" (not mention make and keep a back up of the old OS just in case...)
Seems due that its hard to find a nb1 image file on the latest O2 release...

i have the obnocius v0.23 bootloader that wont take anything less than complete nb1 image file. i have tried like nk.nbf upgrade but it wont catch. may be i should edit the sd card at 0x00000000. the rom.nb1 starts with HIMMALAYA at this address. the nbf's with something else. what do think?

Hi,
this is very interesting, I've been trying to create a bootable sd card using the latest Oz rom. However there is not much clear info. How can I get ms_.nbf, NK.nbf. Radio_.nbf on an sd card? what are the exact offsets, do I need to decrypt the files first, etc. I tried the [reverse] method described here --> HimalayaHowtoCopyRom just to check, yet the eventual Radio_.nbf file is much smaller than the size of the original Radio_.nbf file installed on the himalaya. I'd appreciate if someone could give us detailed procedure to create an sdcard from the nbfs.
thanks...

Hi
I'm searching for information about ROMcooking for ATOM Life, but unfortunately there are not many informations about this device.
1.The Wiki explains only the ATOM Romupdate:
ROM Update File Composition:
* diskimage_Ver.nb0 - ROM file
* EBOOT.nb0 - bootloader file
* ExtendedRom.img - hidden partition image file
* nova_pda_033105.mot - checksum partition ??????
* vl1d_pda_Ver.mot - radio file
* Device Software Update Utility.exe - ROM upgrade utility file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The ATOM Life Update .exe contains:
Device Software Update Utility.exe
EBOOT.nb0 - Bootloader ?
IPL.nb0 - initial Bootloader ?
cpld.img
XLDR.nb0
FLASH.DIO - OS image ?
ExtRom.img - ExtROM ?
pass.32
and some .mbn files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can someone explain the different files ?
OK I read some threads and learned Howto dump the OS image with Scooterkitchen. Howto add or remove files is an easy job (I hope),
but how can I rebuild this dump to a flashable image?
Hope some of you can lightup me. and sorry for my bad english
thank you
scorpio16v
FLASH.DIO - OS
ExtRom.img - ExtROM
now,get a new rom update method:
it's get from atom life room replant from exec
filename is
AL1.DIO -os
EXROM.IMG -extrom
copy these 2 files to mini sd card,reboot+record enter bootloader mode
system updated!
and use this rom we can updta life to chinese rom version
based on this method
i guess we can copy these FLASH.DIO,ExtRom.img,2 files to mini sd card,reboot+record enter bootloader mode
loading OS
u can try to update your own room update in life.
Thank you for reply
yes, but that'll be the easier part of the job.
My problem is, if I dump the FLASH.DIO in Scooterkitchen I use the following way, posted in an other thread:
To dump files from FLASH.DIO use "Scoter Kitchen".
Just remove first 12 bytes from this file, then use
\Scoter Kitchen\Utilities\TOOLS\SRPX tools>msflshtool.exe
after this use
\Scoter Kitchen\Utilities\TOOLS\imgfs_tools\viewimgfs.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This pocedure runs fine, but If you running the FLASH.DIO throug msflshtool.exe it splits in 3 parts. (OS and 2 ?? XIP parts).
At this point, I don't know how to rebuild.
The second problem is:
The device will be released as XDA Comet in germany (my country) in about 2 weeks with german language WM6 and at this state I have no backup ROM to restore it to manufacturer settings if something went wrong.
I will try to dump my german ROM and rebuild it with the XIP part of the english XDA ATOM Life ROM but I need an experienced guide to do that.
Is this AL1.DIO SD-update on Developer FTP the actual english version? Where comes it from ?
I don't find the thread about it.
"AL1.DIO" seems the same like the name "HERM.img" for the HTC Hermes. If you update via SD the Bootloader recognized it as the OS-file.
another edit (thanks again to ferryboat):
3.Before next step, go to \windows\temp , u will find the extractable files.
4.find the file "pass.32"
5.Use ultraedit-32 to open it
6.Check first line,u will find "WWE"
7.Change "WWE" to "CHT" then save it.
8.Go to next step, u will pass the phone-check.
9.About 15 mins, u atom life will be the WM6 ENG.

That explains the pass.32 file, but you don't need it to SDcard update ?
"buildimgfs.exe" command to build rom and
"make_imgfs FLASH.NB0 -nosplit" update FLASH.NB0 file
rename it to "Flash.dio"
i havn't test rom made by this method.i also try to find an safe method to update rom so i can try my own rom.it's not so much info about life 's rom
i see this chinese rom from blow links,and a lots of people have updated their life to this version.
http://www.52dopod.net/thread-33648-1-1.html
modify 'pass.32' file is only used when use USB link cable to update rom simultaneity you want to change your life rom language from eng to chn or chn to eng.this method is replant from atom and exec.we do not need to modity this file when we update rom in bootloader mode.

I've made a short test with mamaich's imgfstools like in your example, if I dump the ROM and rebuild it without any changes (with -nosplit option) the rebuild file has the same size.
But if I compare both files shouldn't the new file be a perfect clone from the scource ?
The new file has the same structure in some parts, but most of it is different.
Please help me!
I want to upgrade only radio Atom Life (not ExtROM, OS) by bootleader mode! what file it need? how will i do? ...
Please help me!
Many thanks.

Nope. It wouldn't be a perfect clone. Even in the ATOM, it does not generate a perfect clone. But it still works with mamaich tools anyway. If you want just to edit the IMGFS section, I think it's okay. Just test...
Just don't touch the bootloader eboot.nb0; so, you won't brick your phone. Also, if possible, always update in bootloader mode. Because if you can't update in bootloader mode, You won't be able to restore your device if you have a none working ROM.
Here's a batch file I wrote in opening and closing part1 of atom life. The user who requested was afraid to try it anyway. The purpose of this was to modify the pagepool for the atom life. There are tools available now that can edit the pagepool on the fly, but the atom is not supported. I don't know with atom life.
Code:
<<<< breakdown >>>>
msflshtool.exe flash.dio -d -p1
SRPX2XIP flash.dio.part1
del flash.dio.part1
<<<< rebuild >>>>
XIP2SRPX flash.dio.part1.xip
msflshtool.exe flash.dio -r flash.dio.part1.xip.xiporg
Well I only use breakdown because we will just import the atom life components into our atom devices anyway.
The Atom Life sure could use some update... official AKU0.7 is coming out and atom life is still at AKU0.2.
Our Atoms have AKU0.3 already and we're moving to AKU0.4
Rom Dumper
search for buzz romgrabber / romdumper and dump it to your SDCARD or you internal memory.
This is the RAW file that should be read during bootloader update thru SDCARD. For the ATOM, (if we compare dump with update file) only the header was removed. I don't know with atom life. I don't recommend updating bootloader file with SDCard because SDCard might have a bad block and it will kill your device.
My extended ROM is screwed up.
My hermes is SuperCID, I can unlock and view the content. I can write files to it but I cannot install program to it.
I try a brave and foolish act to format the extended ROM under resco explorer. The rom can be formatted, but now I cannot write files and not to mention install programs to it.
To retore the extended ROM, should I:
Flash to a shipped ROM first before flashing a OS only cooked ROM?
Any help is appreciated.
first install hard spl v7 if you haven't already then just flash another extended rom over it, you can get another extended rrom from the hermes wiki under the upgrading bit., once you have done that it should be ok without having to flash a complete os, then use smething like schaps advanced configuration tool (this cab file can also be found somewhere here on the site), to unlock and unhide your extended rom, hope that helps a little
I've read the Wiki, searched, read the FAQs, but nothing really described how to do what I think I want to do.
How do I upgrade my radio?
I have been following DCD's wonderful (thank you so much), ROMs and just installed 3.2.2 last night, so I'm not unfamiliar with the process. Then I realized that I was on an old radio. So I tried to upgrade. Here are the steps I followed.
1. Downloaded the latest radio (3.42.15 ?) nbh file.
2. Placed the nbh file in the RUU folder of the 3.2.2 kitchen.
3. Ran the RomUpdateUtility.exe that was in that folder.
It looked like it was pushing it to my phone when.....
I got an error after the phone said about 4 or 5%.
I'm sorry for the lame-o-nubie-like question. I really thought I understood this process.
What am I missing?
Thanks for your patience.
Matt
Upgrade radio by placing radio .nbh file on sd card and renaming TITAIMG.nbh, force bootloader and press power to install. You will not hard reset your phone by doing this method but you will by using RUU.

FYI: if you use this method, I'm pretty sure the SD card has to be FAT32 formatted.

True, I didn't cover that but there is much I didn't want to have to cover in my quick response. Make sure to read the wiki here for full instructions on formatting and flashing.
Edit: He did say he read the wiki, but as a counterpoint he tried to paste the nbh file into the RUU. Rule of thumb is to always follow the wiki to the letter for best results.
i don't mind hard resetting...in fact....I prefer it.
are there any instrctions for using the RUU?

Hi sudermatt,
Almost all 3.xx radios are having problems flashing via RUU. Bite the bullet and pick up an SD card it will be well worth it.

Hi glenl,
Correct, the Verizon XV6800 does not include an SD card.
can i flash my radio this way using someone else's card (for his Hermes) and it won't disturb anything on the card, and then he can delete my files after?

as long as the card is already formatted properly... otherwise just back up his card's contents and format it appropriately (fat32) if need be. make sure its not a high-capacity MicroSDHC...
You can unlock and install official signed rom that includes radio.
Then overwrite OS custom rom.
i didn't see it anywhere...not in the wiki
My X01HT is already Hard-SPL (2.10.Olipro), and ready for upgrading to WM 6.5 (considering TAI edition, thanks!) But suddenly I feel that I may have to backup my original ROM (6.0 CHT) which already came with the phone when I purchased. After search this forum with "backup rom", I've got the following:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?auto_redirect=1&pagename=TitleSearch&s=backup+rom
(1) The links listed in the wiki, I think, are not for Hermes. Am I correct?
(2) Is there any other utility to backup original ROM? For Hermes, is it only possible to do so by "dumping" the ROM first as written in:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
I guess if only "dumping" is the only solution, there should be a long way to build the dumped files to a NBH file to flash.
(3) Or is it possible to reflash the official ROM such as:
http://www.asia.htc.com/download/838Pro_HK_CHT_WM6_Upgrade_20070712.zip
extract the NBH file inside and reflash?
Many thanks!
