Help with Typho5.exe

I get the below when trying to extract some files from a rom.
I am trying to upgrade my G4 Cingular with WM5 to a rom with WM6. I just got the phone yesterday used from a friend. So far I have unlocked phone so that it works with my T-Mobile sim. Been reading and trying to update rom since last night.
A set of instructions I found wanted me to run typho5 from the dos prompt. but it appears to be looking for typhoonbfdecode.pl
Any help would be appreciated...
C:\newrom>typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
Usage: typhoonnbfdecode.pl filename
lists contents of filename
or typhoonnbfdecode.pl [-i] [-v] -x infile
extract modules
-i decode as sd header image
-t file is tornado nbf, with large header
-v also list headers
-s convert SPL to memory image
or typhoonnbfdecode.pl [-r module=file] [-p param=value] -c outfile
create new nbf
-s convert SPL memory image to nbf image
-t file is tornado nbf, with large header
-r specify the modules to read, module can be one of:
os, ipl, spl, splash or gsm
-p specify the header values, param can be one of:
device, language, magic, operator, flags, version or blversion
or typhoonnbfdecode.pl [-r module=file] [-p param=value] -d outfile
create sdcard image
-r specify the modules to read, module can be one of:
os, ipl, spl, splash or gsm
-p specify the header values, param can be one of:
docuniqueid, blversion, cid, seclevel, timestart, timeend
keys, cardid

Problem to dump stock Rom

First of all - I'm Newbie. Yesterday I got my Diamond. After reading tons of threads today I tried to dump my german vodafone-branded diamond. Here a list of things I did:
1. installed active sync
2. copied and installed Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab
3. ran> pdocread.exe -l
3. ran> pdocread -w -d DSK1: -p Part02 0 0x6f20000 Part02.raw (Part0-3)
4. ran> prepare_imgfs.exe Part02.raw -nosplit
5. ran> viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
6. ran> buildimgfs.exe
At step 6 buildimgfs aborted. Then I tried to repeat and the program stops again at the same line: Processing "pxl.lnk" as file. After that I repeated steps 3-6 with the same result. Could anyone help me plz?

Hi,
can you upload the *.raw files please?

Yes for sure. Here you can dowload the full dump Part00-Part03.raw.

I have the same problem with these raw-files

[Solved] How to edit /dev/mtd3 (System Image)

Hi,
I would like to edit an official system rom.
I can have it in 2 format a NBH file, but i did not found a way to extract it or the file directly extracted from the phone with the command line:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img.
It seems there is a way to extract it with a command line like:
gunzip -c mtd3.img | cpio -i
but i always have errors when laucnh it, like not in gzip format etc...
Does anybody has any clue about this?

unyaffs it?

Just tried and it gave:
Segmentation Fault
bye
Herc.

Try using nandroid to back it up, copy system.img to your nix box (cygwin might work), and unyaffs it. The contents will be extracted to the current directory, so set yourself up a working directory. Just a guess, but I think your image is becoming corrupted.

It Worked.
Thank you.

[TUTORIAL] Self-assembly of Android Firmwares

I just saw a tutorial in 4PDA by R0iz and wanted to share it here!
The link to the original post translated:

Extract the files *. img
To extract system.img, used unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/)
I have compiled under Ubuntu 64. With Unyaffs can only be extracted system.img.
To extract boot.img use extract-kernel.pl and extract-ramdisk.pl
# extract-kernel.pl boot.img
# extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rebuilding boot.img
After extracting boot.img with the enclosed extract-*. pl
In order to collect boot.img with Custom kernel in the same folder run:
# mkbootfs boot.img-ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-boot
# mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-boot --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o newBoot.img --base 0x19200000

Rebuilding system.img
At first glance it seems that you can simply mount the image and format it with YAFFS, but it's not because, as SPL Hero does not allow flash system.img directly.
You must use the format update.zip packages for this. (читайте ниже) (See below)
Write update.zip quite simple really. For example, to add the package test.apk in your rum:
- Create an empty folder <workdir>
- Create a folder structure for test.apk (<workdir> / system / app) and copy test.apk
- Create a folder structure for the update-script (<workdir> / META-INF/com/google/android)
- Edit <workdir> / META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
- Insert the following:
show_progress 0.1 0 show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: copy_dir PACKAGE: system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM: app
show_progress 0.1 10 show_progress 0.1 10
- Pack the contents <workdir> in zip (not the folder itself <workdir>, only its contents)
Now you have to sign a zip file. Testsign.zip download and copy it to your <SDK> / tools.
Unzip it there, thus creating a sub-folder sign with a file testsign. in it.
Then in the folder <workdir>, run this command:
java-classpath "<SDK> / tools / sign / testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Everything is now ready for your update.zip pouring into the apparatus by a modified recovery.

Change. Apk package
apk can just unpack an archive, change what you need and pack it back. But in the end you have to sign it as well as update.zip packages.
ODEX files
- What is it? Answer
- How to get rid of them?
For deodex ODEX files, use this howto
Then you can create classes.dex file by running smali from your "out". Then rename it to classes.dex and add it to apk.
- How to create them?
Use dexopt-wrapper on the device.

Well, this part is simple smile_good.gif
- Extract system.img
- Extract boot.img
- Replace boot.img-kernel of the original Roma HTC Hero.
- Rebuild boot.img
- Collect update.zip (see how it's done in any Custom rum for Hero)
- Sign and flash.
Device should start, and even be able to call, but probably will not work WiFi, BT, trackball.
Androsign script (Linux)
Androsign allows you to quickly sign the zip and apk. Just put it in <SDK> / tools, then CHMOD + X. If the path to the folder \ tools registered in the PATH, then you can run this script by typing:
androsign /dev/folder1/folder2/update.zip
He will Update-signed.zip (or App-signed.apk, etc.) in the same folder where the original file.
THANKS ARE WELCOMED!

Can we actually use this to port Sense or MIUI ?

this explains part of the process, the steps to do fo that purpose extracting and rebuilding but of course not about the code. i've heard MIUI is complex than sense

Most of us know this allready but nice to see it being said instead of learning the hard way

[BOOT SPLASH] collections AND how to flash in Linux

Just wanted to start a thread with the collections of the ThunderBolt's Splash Screen (Very first screen when you turn it on)
The manual way of flashing your Splash Screen (I have found to be faster and easier, In Linux anyways))
I have my adb and fastboot files in /bin on my root. This way it always acts as an internal command and can access it from anywhere.
If you have the adb, fastboot and adb_usb.ini files then you can, in root terminal use this command to move them over.
I just drag the files to the terminal instead of manually typing them in after I write in the 'mv' command.
Code:
# mv *where ever adb files are located* /bin
Now open up your terminal and copy the code after each one is finished.
Code:
# apt-get install ffmpeg
It should look similiar to this and the responses after each command

Remember to rename them to splash1.img before you flash the picture OR drag and drop them in place of the "splash1.img" location.
