OK, here is a newbie question, but here it goes:

A week ago I bought a originally packaged 512 MB SD card. When I inserted it in my phone, it showed there was TomTom Mobile already present on it. Now when I read this thread I remebered there was also a folder called 2577 on it and folder map contained a file called autorun.exe...

Does this mean that this was grabbed from a device somehow, or it this autorun.exe and 2577 folder thing just the way that self-installing cards operate? So basically: when one buys TomTom on a SD card, does the autorun file in the 2577 folder ensure that TomTom is automatically installed once inserted to the device? So that the ROM grabbing in this thread is done in the same way, but this autorun does not install software but grabs the ROM? Or was my SD card used in the same way for grabbing TTMobile?

Anyway, if the autorun 2577 trick is used for auto-installing software from SD card, then very nice work in making it a spy tool!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] buzz_lightyear:
no way man!

This '\Storage Card\2577\autorun.exe' is an official M$ way of autolaunching programs from SD card, well described in MSDN...

If you put calc.exe into this folder and will rename it to autorun.exe, it will be automatically launched upon inserting this SD card in. So your calculator will pop up...

i just used this feature for dumping ROM automatically. Of course my autorun actually is a dump program, unlike the one from TOMTOM, which is to launch the setup of TOMTOM... :o)

hope it's clear

Hicks. Upload 64 mb

[Windows Mobile Software Development] HDuser:
Buzz,

The way I see it is that after mr happy puts the renamed file on the sd card and the the sd card into the device, it dumps the rom. (auto*.exe)

Now if he puts the SD card back into his own device... will it dump that rom over the same 5.0 dump ?

So does it dump on same file name or increment the dump name by 1.

Does the guy know about the danger?

Sorry to ask but I would hate to see dumpped 5.0 rom dumped..

May be its not a problem.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] buzz_lightyear:
oh ****... good point!!!!!

so YOU MUST NOT put it back into another device!!!

YOU MUST LOCK THE SD CARD FIRST!!!!!

or put it into card reader on the desktop PC...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] TofClock:
Great Buzz !!! Thanks for your good job :)

is it possible to extract files from the dump.bin file ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] buzz_lightyear:

it's kind of hard with wm2k5 for HIMALAYA, coz it is compressed the way, that standard dumprom.exe doesn't understand... however... :o)

Hello,

i attempted to use this file to dump the ROM in my WM2005 device. It looked like all went well, i get a dump.bin that is exactly 128MB.

However, when i open this in a hex editor i see such things as "This bootloader doesn't support downloading a second .nb0 binary image" and "ERROR: StoreEBootCFG: failed to write configuration" and other errors. Is this normal?

I decied to look at this in the hexeditor after dumprom failed on me with the following error:

Expert needed!! Treo 700w on Bell

Hey all you super-hackers,

I have an unlocked Treo 700w activated on Bell. The cell-voice works but the data does not. Under SETTINGS, ABOUT it shows the USER DATANAME as 306xxxxxxx@vzw3g.com (my phone number but still at Verizon). There does not appear to be any 'activation' screens to change this setting...I'm assuming it's encoded in the ROM or something??

Any of you experts know what I need to do to access/change the DATA USERNAME and the PRL??

Please advise.....thanks a bunch!

Experiences

buzz_lightyear,

I am sorry but when running Grab_it in a Mitac Mio A701 (WM5 Phone Edition + SirfStarIII SIF GPS) we get repeating blocks all over the dumped file. I could use your WM5 Files Dumper utility, but again it is useless since I can not create new ROMs.

mamaich,

It seems that your TestDump works better in my system but the created bin file has "holes" filled with zeroes (compressed areas maybe?)and prepare_imgfs does not work properly with the created file.

My main objective is not modifying the ROM file but to do a backup of the factory ROM and being able to reflash it again. Modifying ROMs will come later.

The available upgrade WINCEIMG.BIN ROM files for A701 can not be recognized by any existing software.

Any clue, idea, potential application?

Thanks in advance,

Oki
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mamaich:
This tool would not work on new devices that contain ROM on DOC chip instead of normal flash memory. In such case it would dump only IPL followed by garbage.

Currently there is no tool that can dump such devices.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Oki:
These are bad news,

I suppose that your information is also applicable to my device (Mio A701) and not only to Apache, Am I right?. Things were easier with my old Wallaby.

OK, there is no tool but, is there a way to do it through MTTY in bootloader mode? When I try to connect I do this:

I enter in bootloader mode and I can see this menu:

I will expand Menu 0 and Menu 3, if you are interested on any other menu just ask for it, it will be a pleasure.

and

DOC Info returns this:

While in bootloader mode and without ActiveSync running in the PC, the device is detected as "Generic SmartPhone USB Sync" in device manager.

But if I try to connect using MTTY 1.42 by pressing the USB button, it does not connect and the device shows a yellow mark on it"

Any idea?

Thanks,

Easy RESTORING from image file?

Hi!

After reading all 199 posts.... (really) I don't see an easy solution. Help me please.

I've been looking for a way to easily DUMP/RESTORE the OS image of my Prophet (G4 2.15 SPL) without any luck. Yes, I know Buzz's ROM Dumper, but don't know what to do afterwards the image I've got.

I've got a couple od PDA's from my company, I passed one of them to a fellow mate, and tweaked a bit with the other.

After flashing the pdamobiz aku 2.3 ROM, I'm GETTING A LOT OF TROUBLES WITH THE BATTERY LIFE! Since there is not a 2.15 ESP ruu available, I find no way to revert the process.

I've extracted Extended_ROM2 files and the rest, but have found no way to revert my prophet to Spanish (2.13 versions available don't do the trick)

Since the other Prophet is still on its factory delivered state, Is there a way to just DUMP/RESTORE the whole OS without any handling of the files? I mean just SD extracting/inserting, no Rom Kitchening.... Or just the files that make the thing language dependant?

I'm afraid the Rom cooking process has become too complicated since my "old good Hima .nbf times"

Maybe it's too much a dream...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pof:
I don't know much of the Prophet as I never had one, but on some HTC devices you have bootloader commands to dump/restore from/to SD card. Look if there is any of s2d, d2s, sddump, r2c, r2ca, r2cb, c2r... commands available on your bootloader. Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Looking Glass:
but....

Gracias.

But I haven't seeen any of the old tricks being applied to the Prophet. Not even in Buzz's web site.

Plus there is just one installable Spanish ROM (Imate 2.13) available, so that means that they are being tightly controlled by manufacturer/OEM's.

We will have to wait. Will keep watching these issues.

Hi, I have a wince4.2 based Gizmondo.

grab_it creates a 'repeating segment' file, but testdump seems to create a proper dump that can in turn be extracted via dumprom.

Would you publish the source for testdump? You mention that the failure to dump the bootloader can be fixed. Have you made any progress on this?

Also, I realise that fixing the relocs in the dumped binaries is a non trivial task, but if you have any pointers in this direction, I would be most appreciative.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] BillAlexander:
Buzz -

grab_it doesn't work of my ETEN glofiish M700. It is a Windows Mobile 5.0 (OS Version 5.1.422). My first problem was that the micro-SD card is loaded as \SDMMC, so I had to use a hex editor to change the path in autorun.exe. After running, grab_it succeeded in making the 128 MB \SDMMC\dump.bin file. The first 4 KB was the bootloader -- that's fine -- but the rest of the file was nothing but 0's. It seems to me there is a memory protection in the system which doesn't allow the mapping of physical pages into regular process virtual space (I assume you are using VirtualAlloc() to reserve space and then VirtualCopy() to map physical pages into that space). I tried the VirtualAlloc/VirtualCopy technique in both an win32 app and also a .DLL and got the same results as grab_it.

Is there anyway around this problem?

Thanks,

Bill

grab_it_128_150.exe

grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe

Just to clarify the description,

1. Are this only for SD and MiniSD?

2. What about MicroSD?

3. If you use grab_it_32_750.exe, it is mean for ROM of 32MB and you need a 64MB card? What is 750?

4. If you use grab_it_64_143.exe, it is mean for ROM of 64MB and you need a 128MB card? What is 143?

5. If you use grab_it_128_150.exe, it is mean for ROM of 128MB and you need a 256MB card? What is 150? Is there a device with 128MB ROM?
