Thanks to ITJE's tutorial, I figured out how to cook a ROM. Now I need to back up my phone before I flash my new ROM and possibly brick my wing.
How do I get this to work? (Yes, I searched the forums before posting.)
I tried 'pdocread -l' and came up with the following:
Copying C:\ROM\itsutilsbin\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
63.94M (0x3ff0000) TrueFFS
| 3.06M (0x30fc00) Part00
| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01
| 57.81M (0x39d0000) Part02
39.73M (0x27ba000) TrueFFS

| 3.06M (0x310000) Part01

982.50M (0x3d680000) DSK1:

20.00k (0x5000) BTD1:
| 19.00k (0x4c00) PART00
Then I tried:
pdocread -w -d TrueFFS -p Part02 0 0x39d0000 Part02.raw
and got:
ERROR: Unable to open host/destination file - Access is denied.
You don't need to. The official Tmobile ROM is around here for you to download.
Woo Hoo! I successfully bricked it!
I have found a few uses for a bricked phone....
Doorstop
Object to throw at annoying co-workers
Object to skip across lake
Chew Toy
Expensive curio
Temporary speedbump
Gag gift
....or I could just use the link I got from ivanmmj and un-brick it.
Thanx for the link!
Oh, the error I got while upgrading said something about the connection being terminated by the host.
Did I do something wrong?
I was under the umpression from some of the posts that you can "unbrick" a phone. Look around and you may find something helpful..
Good luck!
I un-bricked it, I was just wondering about the error I got while flashing.
Did you place the phone into flight mode AFTER powercycling AFTER installing Aserg's Policies? (I'm thinking it's the flight mode.)

i wish there was a simple program that could like "image" the entire memory on the phone. like backing up the entire phone. and when you need to reinstall it, it just places the entire image back on it. Is there something out there that can do that, that would be considered simple?

You mean including the storage and settings and such? The only thing I can think of is to do what I do. Create a ROM and just use a dump of your registry and add the files you want it to have. I might add how to's or batches for this in the upcoming version of my kitchen... if I could just find the time to work on it...

You were right, I forgot flight mode. I retried with flight mode activated and still had issues. So, I bought a 12 pack and ordered pizza (I refuse to sleep until I get this right). My super pimp, killer, mad, sweet a** ROM will work if it takes me all night!
I will post screenshots when I'm done.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. If I brick it, just use the backup image.

I just recieved a hardware replacement for my T-Mobile Wing, and it appears to be running a newer version of the ROM than is available on this site. Is there a way to capture it from my phone for backup purposes? Or is there one already floating around on the forums someplace (so far, I have only been able to find this one - been looking for about 5 hours now)?
---EDIT---
Found the answer to my question on another site. Turns out that T-Mobile has a page where users can download the latest official ROM update.
Flight Mode
Hi I'm new here, and I'm reading about all the steps I need to do in order to properly install Open Touch. My problem is I have no clue how to put my Wing on flight mode? Can someone help please?
Original ROM from t-mobile
I just saw original ROM updates from t-mobile at
w w w . t-mobile . com / wmupgrade /
for almost all HTC phones you just need a valid t mobile phone number and the IM number of the phone.
good luck

As some of your have seen I have recently done a successful ROM reconstruction for Trinity (German GPS ROM).
Because this would not have been possible without mouseym's wonderful tutorial for Hermes, I decided to share the knowledge and my experience on the subject.
You can find my detailed tutorial in the Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_HowtoReconstruct
If you have any questions about it, feel free to contact me. Or directly edit the Wiki, that's what it's there for.
Pretty good friend . But if I want to dump and reconstruct everything that my HTC p3600 has in it. RADIO,EXTROM,OS ... etc ?

Then you now know the first step
ExtRom can be unlocked and copied, easy.
Radio is irrelevant as there are plenty good versions out there. Why flash an old one. You could probably reconstruct ExtRom but like I said, its much easier to just copy its contents to SD.
Hello Zack
I dumped an Portuguese ROM weeks ago, but never could convert.
Tried your method, and when I do the rebuilt (buildimgfs) step, command prompt gives some error and doesnt create the BIN file
Can u give me a help?
Complete dump:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296182
And see this post for complete description:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1154907&postcount=8
This would be a much appreciated, because theres no ROM RUU available for portuguese anywhere. And some users after using the Dopod activated GPS rom want to get back to portuguese.
Btw, this dumped portugues doesnt have the GPS activated.
Is it possible to cook a ROM with GPS activated but with Portuguese language?
But this is for later, top priority for now is to build a RUU portuguese ROM from the dump I made, because there´s none available.
Thanks
Hi Drug_Store,
I have already converted your dump and sent it to mariocruz who successfully flashed it. I'll make a proper release today (OS only) so you guys can get your poruguese ROM back.
About your error:
You need to be a LOT more specific. "some error", what am I supposed to do with that? Also the step doesn't create the bin, it fills it. The bin is created in step 2. Before you run Step 4, make sure you have imgfs_raw_data.bin in workdir.
About putting GPS into non-GPS ROMs: I haven't put any research into this, I just know the Hermes guys tried this. You can check their forum and if you find details, let me know.
Like I said, expect the portuguese ROM later today.

About the error on Bin creation, is like when some app sudently closes on XP, he presents a little box with report error things.
I´ll post a printscreen later if u want.
Anyway, much appreciated for your kind help
The process will change for my proper ROMs. I'll edit the tutorial after I've done it.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure you did something wrong, maybe you didn't put one file into the correct directory.

hello all
i tried to do a dump of my trinity (SFR S300+) , french rom
so i have the error when dumping the part02.raw , so i tried to do the 0x800 trick to complete the dump but the final result of part02_1.raw is always null
0 partitions, 0 binary partitions
customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

any idea ?
EDIT : i said nothing !! this result is normal , i have not read after the wiki article, it's for that i believe the result was wrong
Thank you VERY VERY MUCH ZakMcRofl for all !!
i successfully done a complete os dump to my trinity , i can now test the others rom present here
now i'd like to do a complete release with IPL, SPL, RADIO/GSM and ExtROM
have you some explanation about that ? i have just to put the correct files in RomBaker ?
Did you dump it or reconstruct it?
A full release isn't current possible because you can't flash extrom (unless you use one from an official release).
What I suggest if you want to release something:
- release OS only if its without GPS (radio doesn't matter)
- release OS+Des' Hard-SPL+radio 1.38.00.11 if OS has GPS (SPL for security, radio because its the latest with GPS)

Sorry to bother you Zak, I've been reading long time the forum, and still unsure: May I reconstruct my Spanish ROM and change the Radio ROM and get GPS enabled?
There is not currently any RUU ES available, and I've read in the forum that either changing or upgrading ROM radio is NOT enough to get GPS enabled, so your proposal is only for users already sporting a GPS enabled ROM?
Still too confused about what is needed to get GPS in my own Trinity language.

i reconstruct the os (so only part02.raw) i dump just before with RomBaker
my os integrate the GPS
what's Des' Hard-SPL ?
can i dump and reconstruct my extrom ? if yes , can i modify it before reconstruct ?
EDIT : you said "you can't flash extrom (unless you use one from an official release)." , so my last question has no sense ?
@Looking Glass: reconstruction itself has nothing to do with GPS. In the german community we were lucky because two providers make (german) phones with GPS enabled. We dumped those roms.
For GPS you need two things:
1) GPS-enabled radio (no problem)
2) GPS-enabled OS (problem if no device exists)
So to get spanish GPS you have three options:
1) Wait until there's a spansih GPS-enabled trin and dump it
2) Try to put radio drivers into spanish ROM (see Hermes forum for research on that)
3) Try to replace the german language parts to spanish language parts. I'm not sure how WM5 handles localization, this may not easily be possible. mus_run suggested that.
@extenue
Hard-SPL is Olipro's name for a bootloader (SPL) that allows flashing of unsigned Roms (and more). DES released one for Trinity:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296734
About ExtROM: you can dump it but not reconstruct. The only option is to include an existing ExtRom.nb from any official ROM. We can't make our own.
Alternative is to make it readable (search for it) and copy out the cabs. You could then launch them manually later or supercid your device and write them back.
Depending on which ROM you flash you probably won't change your ExtROM anyways. To be sure you could extract the NBH you intend to flash, remove the ExtROM if any and flash. That way your original extrom stays.
Sad.....

Thanks for info.
So we are back again to the starting point.... NO ROM available, >> no GPS in your language.
I'm beginnng to drift to UMPC's: As soon as the form factor and the integration of phone capabilities converge, there will be no reason for that F____G Windows Mobile OS thing to exist.
If Apple does things right with Leopard OS putting a full version on its i-phone, the whole market may shift toward the idea: ONE single OS in all your devices. No more syncing, no more file conversions, no more data lost in the process... What a dream!

Why we are not able to reconstruct it, what is missing? I have applied reg tweaks and make it visible and copied the contents as you've said. But would really like to able to reconstruct an own ExtRom.

@turchino: Feel free to research the nb format for ExtROMs. You can read it, you can write it, but you can't flash it.
@extenue: You can use it, yes. But you should test it for yourself before you release to others.

Code:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"

"DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1"
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:00000001
Make a softreset and after that you should see a folder named "Extended_ROM2" in the root.

I tried to expose the "Extended_Rom"-Folder on my P4350 (de, eplus,WM5) the way you discribed but no luck. The values I modified with regedit are gone right after soft-reset.
Any hints on that?
Please pay attention:
This is for Windows Mobile 6!
But i remember having the problem with the registry switching back on softreset (MDA Compact 2), but i can't remember how i solved it Sry mate...
Probably somebody else has a hint on that...
Sorry to mention: But with awizard you can dump the extended_rom also. And with total commander you can see the extended_rom without any reghack - and then you just have to copy the files to sd card.
Becuse you might get problems with camera application. Perhaps you can only choose "main" or "extrom" tehre might be no sd card - that was the problem for wizard when unlocking extended_rom
I would use totalcommander
And btw - the extended_rom is posted in Terra-dump thread.
lol
Well sry, but i'm using total commander, and there was no ExtROM already mounted. So i had to regedit. And can you gimme the link to the terra dump thread?

Hehe.
You can dump this rom perfect in anichillus Corekitchen. I modified it - BUT i forgot to reconvert the rgu to hv - that bricked my device.
But it works.
just to clear this a bit more into details... what do you mean by bricked ? completely burned, or just the rom got messed up? another question: is the bootloader part of the ROM or stored in another part of the device?
Today i tried to mount the IMGFS and it worked as i removed the whole htc anti spy dll, but it was only accessible over the usb/active sync connection and as of windows locks, some files couldn't be copied :/ pretty sad, seemed to be a easy way to get stuff out of the rom... 90% were copyable... the rest not :/

Bricked = only OS was messed up.
awizard = can only dump OS and Extended_rom --> IPL/SPL and all other is stored somewhere else.
pdocread = the same --> only OS.
We cannot flash IPL/SPL, Splash, Radio = becuase we don´t have an modified RUU or Bootloader like on hermes.
Please try to find a way.

It reveals all the files your provider (O², T-Mobile, ePlus, ...) has added to the HTC Devices.
Mostly it's smoe dialers, bootscreens, themes etc.
For this ExtROM they even added bugfixes as well

BUT they are learning.
The MMS ans Internetsettings are included in ROM. SO if you disable the customizing after hardreset and the Extended_rom isn´t installed --> you have to delete the internetsettings manually.
They are getting better

Well at least the O² ExtROM is a lot better than the t-mobile ones (or even the vodafone...).
Vodafone always tries to push his f*ckn "Vodafone Live" crapstuff and T-Mobile is always messing up screens and buttons -.-

i just got an xperia x2 prototype but it is in dutch.
does anyone know where i can find the wwe version of the rom so i can flash it to english?

I don't know but is any chance dump your rom or panel instalation files from /windows directory
i have no idea how to do that.
Use this tool to dump it, http://www.4shared.com/file/126523116/2b69156a/Dump_My_Phone.html, it seems that some SE customizations are made by cab, can you post them also?
Then if you can post the raw files.

ok ill try to do it tomorrow because ive been very busy lately.
its too bad no one has an english rom.
bigneeker, it would be cool if u could dump the panels, panel mananger etc and put it up on rapidshare or something, thanks in advance
hell yes, tiltview on the x1 would be brilliant!

ok.
how do i get the panel program and tiltview out of the phone?
do i just look for the cab and copy and paste?
i dont even know what they are called.
sorry but ive never done anything like this before.
I think the dump tool just takes everything from the phone and shifts it towards your computer?
sorry i've never used it either :S

The cabs are located in the windows directory on your phone. If you are connected via active sync, just browse to your phone's windows directory, sort everything by file type, and copy all the cabs to your computer.

This isn't possible yet, since we don't have a wwe ROM, however, you can still get some english functionality out of your device. If you haven't already done so, goto Start>>Setings>>System>>Regional Settings and select "English United States" from the drop down list.
This won't fix the majority of the UI, but it'll put the calender stuff mostly in English, and many apps will also now be in English (e.g. Google Maps, Skype, etc.)

A easy thing is to copy the whole windows directory, put it on your computer then make a rarfile of it and upload
Then we can take out the files and upload them recustomized

Try it with multiple computers,maybe the computer doesn't recognize the phone :/
during the dumping.
i got the addresses and put them in the dump my phone.bat by editing the file.
this is the result:

so when i add the numbers that are in the parenthesis and then click on dump my phone.bat i get the "device not ready" error.
do i have to do anything on the phone before? i already installed the enablerapi but do i have to activate it seperately or do i maybe have to cancel activesync? is that blocking it.
come on guys help him, it`s so nice that he do this for all of us!!
hope u get fix it dude!!

so when i add the numbers that are in the parenthesis and then click on dump my phone.bat i get the "device not ready" error.
do i have to do anything on the phone before? i already installed the enablerapi but do i have to activate it seperately or do i maybe have to cancel activesync? is that blocking it.

You possibly don't have the proper permissions set. Try installing the sdkcerts.cab, if you haven't already. Did the regional settings tip help at all? Also any luck with copying the windows directory?
i installed skcerts and its still not working.
copying the files from windows isnt working either.

This could be the greatest thing to happen to the X1 since... BAHHH, THINK OF THE KITCHENS AND ROMS that we could get out of this
I've been searching and haven't found a way to dump the current rom in the state that it is in. Is there a program available to do to this? If not, can anyone point me to some info where I can figure out how to pull the rom from the phone?
Thanks.
Edit:
I found phonedump in my ongoing search, does it do what I'm looking for? Also, how would I go about getting the raw files back on?

Thanks. This looks promising. Sometimes it can be so hard to find what you are looking for via search.

I know what you mean.. you are welcome
From what I read here it doesn't tell you how to extract or dump a rom from a phone hooked up via activesync. That's the main thing I want to do, rip out the current rom of my phone and package it nicely in an .nbh that customruu would reinstall for me.
Take a look at this, that's probably what you're looking for. But why do you want to dump the ROM, when you could just hard reset? It's not the exact same, but unless you had a bad flash in the first place (unlikely), a new ROM flash of the same ROM won't accomplish much. Anyway, I hope that helps

I want to dump the rom because I plan on flashing it with a different one but want to be able to put it back to just how it was if I don't like it. From what I understand the hard reset won't work once I flash it with another rom.
I like it how it is and I might want to go back after trying a cooked rom, but it's possible I won't either. The way I figure it, what if the grass isn't greener?
Thanks for the link. That pdocread is the same thing used in the phonedump thing I found. It seems my only remaining question would be regarding the correlation between the two parts
Code:
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0x380000 Part01.raw
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x4560000 Part02.raw
which are the XIP and ROM and how I would put them in a .nbh.
This visual kitchen program might do that for me, I'm not sure yet. That first link you gave me led to another, much older link where people are asking the same questions. I have 21 more pages to read. hehe Thanks again.
From reading the link from DaveTheTytnIIGuy I learned that the "keyword" I needed to be searching for was "reconstruct" and that turned up the threads that I was searching for in the following link with the httpcolonslashslash missing ;-)

Hi folks
I Just found a dusted "Blue Angel" Device in the cupboard, that I always wanted to use with Linux but had already given up some time ago.
Now, before selling it off at ebay, I wanted to give it another try and was delighted to see the "idiots guide" on this wiki page:
[xda-developers wiki ]BlueAngel_Linux
What happened so far:
I go to buy a SD-Card of 2GB (couldn't get a smaller one at my local store), put the image on it and give it a try.
It boots and brings up a familiar login prompt.
I login with root/rootme and get: "can't access tty; job control turned off" and a shell prompt.
The keyboard only works partially (only letters, no punctuation) so i can't even type "cd.." to navigate
Googling and looking at some (wiki-)pages here, at handhelds.org and linuxtogo.org didn't help me any further yet.
My Questions:
Did I do something wrong up to here?
What to do to make the keyboard working (did I mention it's a german Device?)
Can I launch some kind of GUI at this point (heck I don't even know if the Image contained GPE or OPIE ;-) ) or is the "can't access tty.." a problem i have to fix first?
Is there a more up to date image (to fix the keyboard-issue) I can use with the idiots guide or some evenly up to date documentation out there? I'm a regular Linux-User on the desktop and not afraid of the command-line?
Device Info:
Model No: PH20B
ROM Version: 1.22.01 GER
ExtROM-Version: 1.22.182 GER
Radio Version 1.06.00
I hope someone can help me on this before I go the ebay path
Greetings from .de

I have QTopiaII working on my BA, the instructions are a bit scattered and kinda confusing (and very, very outdated), but you should be able to run it without having to input any code into the HaRet prompt. It should do everything by itself. If I can, I will upload the contents of my SD later today so that you can try to d/l directly onto your card.
It could also be that you are running an older version of HaRet...

That would be great for a test-run! Thanx in advance I think a gzipped (iso?) image file would do it, I'll transfer that to the SD using dd.

I must admit that I don't really unterstand the HaRET magic yet. Didn't find any documentation until now.
Can you point me to some usable Documentation for my project? At the moment I'm interested in:
- HaRET (how to configure and use it, up-to-date downloads)
- How to build a SD-Image by yourself (I stepped on something similar at handhelds.org but that seemed really outdated.)
- Any info readable by a non-developing but willing to learn human
Thanks again, Markus
qtopia
i have tried qtopia in my BA if u run the HaRET it will generate a img file in u r sd card it is about 200 mb why dont u try to copy img file to the sd card

I don't know much about HaReT myself, but I do know that you have to have the right parameters on the default.txt (or config file) otherwise, the thing will either crash or not boot (and this is where it can get tricky).
As far as the SD image, I was trying to get something to make an image of an SD not too long ago and I found a program called Winhex, which can make images of sd cards. However, you need to get the full version to be able to mount the image on a card. You mentioned something else in your post. Are you using a different program for SD images? I would love to know about this program if you have one.
I haven't forgotten about the things on the SD card, I will post them (SD image is not necessary though) but I just haven't had the time.
-go to: http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcblueangel/Qtopia/
-download Qtopia-Linux-htcblueangel.exe and QtopiaPhone-image.rootfs.tar.bz2
-copy them to sd card, make sure you have at least 200-300 mb free
-start Qtopia-Linux-htcblueangel.exe,for the first time it will generate a 200 mb root file, so it could take a while
-next time you boot in qtopia it is much faster.
ps: you dont have to edit text files in this case.
ps2: also on irc-freenode there are developers who managed to install even ubuntu on there phones
