Could you explain please (very short description) how you modified the xip chain for rom kitchen?
All I can see is the following:
- no length (0)
- no RSA1 signature
- only file entries
What I want to know:
- how to find phys. (ROM) position (do you use unused holes in rom?)
- is 0 length for ROM = autolength
- how to choose the RAM position
- why can length of RAM be 0
Please help. (I need this info for a smartphone project)
I did not bother setting the length, only the 'pvAddr' field is used.
I only make fileentries, because I have yet to implement the generation of modules. ( if I ever do ).
yes, I use unused holes in the rom.
actually, if you don't care about xip updates of other sections, you
may use addresses anywhere in the rom, where your data fits.
It does not nescesarily have to be contigous.
I just copied the ram setting from the other xip entries.
Thank you for the information.
Why don't you take romimage.exe from platformbuilder to generate a XIP block. You only have to write a little .bib file for it. This tool can handle modules and compression as well.
John
P.S. Source code for romimage.exe is available in PB 4.2 private build tree.
I hadn't found that tool yet when I wrote makexip, and then we couldn't have made the romkitchen with it, since romimage.exe runs only under windows.
Don't waste your time with this crap tool (romimage.exe). Some needed files are missing (e.g. bin2xip.exe).
How can I be sure to choose a good phys. addr.? There might be some memory mapped devices...
I have one additional difficult question:
Modules are relocated when embedded into XIP's. Even there seems to be a modification to the import table of the module (e.g. references to coredll.dll will be checked/updated?)
If I extract a module (e.g. a *.dll) from a XIP of an other phone do I have to re-relocate it / modify it's import section even if I place it in a FILES section?
Thanks
John
converting bin to xip is not that difficult. see http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/wince-flashfile-formats.html
do you mean the 'physfirst' field in the romheader? that is just the startaddress in the rom.
since the relocation information is not stored in rom, the only way to really
recover it, is to disassemble the file, and find the offsets to stuff that
needs to be reallocated.
so that is a lot of work. and dumprom only extracts nonrelocatable .exe and .dll modules.
if your extracted dll is fixed to a memory location that overlaps with an already existing dll, you will have a problem I think.
I am not even sure, if an extracted dll works at all, I only use them for reverse engineering.
Yes, I mean phys first field. But how can I be sure to choose a valid address for the new XIP block?. My idea is to use address space between existing XIP blocks. Or can I simply choose a very high address (e.g. 8F000000) and hope not to use a region where memory mapped devices are located?
Since I used (your?) dumprom to extract the *.dll files do you think they are "nonrelocated"?
John
I ask so much because I crashed my lovely smartphone a week ago. :-(
My new XIP seems to be invalid... so it doesn't boot anymore. Unfortunately I've killed the bootloader too...
When I try next time (I've ordered a new one) this must not happen!
I am sure they are nonrelocated, fixed to run from a specific memory location.
( just wrote another post about this )
maybe even the module loader does not allow non-xip modules to be loaded in xip reserved memory.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I've got it. My Smartphone now have a new XIP block with some files in it...
Only thing left is to rewrite some *.dll files (only resource dlls with no function exports) to extend the language of the MIO 8380.
Are you familiar with languages on smartphone? There are multiple .mui files (resource dlls containing all the dialogs and strings). I've exported all resources and (re)created the dll's as resource only. Unfortunately they don't work ... yet ...
Are there some other files for language extension? What about "wince.nls" or "mxip_lang.vol" ?
Thanks again for your great tools. I will setup a site containing detailed information about this hack soon.
John Smith
cool, I am always interested to see how things work out that I haven't actually tried myself yet.
is this how you create resource only dll's:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/programming/icondll.html
Currently I'am a little bit confused. PB 4.2 docu says MUIs are resource only .dlls and sample in smartphone sdk adds a dllmain...
I will have to investigate this things a little bit more...
John
O.K.
I've tried anything. The only thing left is that the new resource dlls are not XIPed as modules...
The sample mui app works fine (regardless of resource only / normal dll).
John
P.S. I've successfully changed all other settings some things already appear in the new language. Only poutlook, homescreen and control panel will not change!
Now after some more testing (included a dllmain into the mui file which logs the loading/unloading to file) it seems that my mui.dll is never loaded by system (if I load it manually with LoadLibrary the log is written).
Here is my question:
I've looked a little bit deeper into the dumped mui.dll and found a pointer in security section (pe header) which points to nowhere (just after the [virtual] end [rva] of all of the e32/o32 sections).
Could it be, that I've missed something? Does dumprom fill in this values correctly?
One other interesting idea could be to exchange only the data section of the module (since I want to patch resource only .dlls). But since english is a very short term language all other files will be bigger...
John
>>> I've got it <<<
the new (mui-language) modules have to be REAL xip modules...
So I've build a custom.bib file and used RomImage from CE3.0 Platformbuilder. Even compression is possible now.
Note: romimage.exe does the same thing as makexip.pl
To share my results here is the content of the .bib file I've used:
Code:
MEMORY

MYXIP 81f00000 0013f000 RAMIMAGE
RAM 8c020000 00fe0000 RAM
CONFIG
COMPRESSION = ON
PROFILE = OFF
ROMFLAGS = 2
ROMSTART=81f00000
ROMSIZE=13f000
ROMWIDTH=32
DLLHIGHADDR=00b00000

mxip_lang_799.rgu input\mxip_lang_799.rgu MYXIP
ms_splash.gif input\ms_splash.gif MYXIP
carrier_splash.gif input\carrier_splash.gif MYXIP
- The MYXIP region in MEMORY section is a hole in the ROM I've found with calcgaps.pl.
- The RAM region is copied from the other sections (they all use the same)
- ROMSTART and ROMSIZE have to be the same values as defined in MYXIP
- DLLHIGHADDR has to be the !!!lowest!!! loading address found with dumprom (header: dlls=...-... ).
Example: If the lowest address found is "header: dlls=00b00000-00c90000 ..." then DLLHIGHADDR has to be 00b00000
Don't care about the warning the warning "Unable to do imports from ... to COREDLL.dll - will late bind". Thats because coredll is in another XIP.
John
P.S. Thanks a lot for all of your support.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to edit a Universal ROM starting from nk.nbf and I'm experiencing a problem: cooked rom starts but shows taskbar with clock working properly but the remaining part of the screen seems not to draw anything and shows welcomehead image... and does not respond to taps or keypress (only powerbutton and backlight buttons working properly)
I'm used to cook roms with kitchens, so I followed these steps:
1. decode nk.nbf > nk.nba with htc tool
2. prepare_imgfs nk.nba -nosplit
3. viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
4. deleted and modified files
5. converted default.hv and user.hv in .rgu files with RGU.exe tool
6. edited .rgu registry files:
keeping key sorted as found in extracted files
every value is headed by key (not multiple values for a single key)
HKCU in user.rgu
HKLM and HKCR in default.hv7. converted .rgu files in .hv
the RGU.exe tool adds in user.hv the value
[KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate]
"boot.rgu"=hex:79,41,C3,2D,24,BD,72,20,37,79,E7,A0,B2,A9,03,CF
How to create boot.rgu?8. replaced registry hives in dump folder
9. buildimgfs
10. make_imgfs nk.nba -noplit
I've found in KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate some references to .rgu files that are not included in the rom... should i delete all .dsm files and registry references?
Thanks all...
missing rgu have been deleted before flashing, as Leo did for his latest rom 05, so your source rom is unusable
Thanks...
OK... now the new AKU 0.7.0 is available with .rgu files builtin... but rom behaviour is the same... how to work with packages.sof?
If I move all files recreating the same directory structure of a "working" kitchen and running BuildOS.exe, shall I sort out the problem?

Usual cause of a startup like you descibe is a corrupt initflashfiles.dat - have you edited it directly?
If so the first 2 bytes need to removed by a hex editor to work properly.

Ive narrowed it down to the OEM folder, however im not sure what the exact issue is. Ive just replaced the OEM stuff with my own from "V10 Roller". Remember to add os.nb.payload into theROM folder or you will get an error when the insert program is run.
Also getting exceptions, tried replacing the OEM folder with a known good one but it's still happening. Any suggestions?

Thanks to mrvanx's hint, I compared each OEM directories with my old kitchen tools. Then I found some stuff is missing in 'OEM\OEM_Lang_0409' directory.
So I copied my old stuff into it, then Error was gone.
Edit:
Well, I found what the problem is. the 'initflashfiles.dat' is missing in 'OEM\OEM_Lang_0409' directory. If there is 'initflashfiles.dat' even if it is 0 bytes, then this problem is solved.
I dont want to sound dumb here, but where can i get the os.nb.payload file?

Not a stupid question at all....
..download a known working rom based on 19209 (theres a few around)....to get os.nb.payload from it do these following things:
(using the programs in the TOOLS folder in this kitchen)
get the os.nb from the RUU_Signed.nbh file using nbhtool (in TOOLS/HTOOLS)
split the os.nb file into os.nb.payload and os.nb.extra using:
"nbsplit -hermes os.nb" on the command line. (the nbsplit.exe must be in the same dir as os.nb before you do it).
DONE.....slap os.nb.payload into the ROM folder when uve done it.
i've tried to updated my kitchen. fiuh... very hard work. my connection was bad. God help me

Hi there,
Here is a command line tool that can extract and rebuild a flash.bin file for the LG KS20.
First, the options available :
Code:
LGFlashMuncher.exe [options] path [output]
EXTRACT Options ---(at least one option required)-----------------------------
-r : extract Raw data
-h : extract header
-m : extract MBR
-p : extract partitions
-t : trim extracted partitions
-l : output layout informations to file 'flash.xml'
-o : output OS.nb compatible file
output : path to output directory (must exists)
CREATE Options ---(all options required)-------------------------------------
-c file : create new flash.bin outputed to 'file'
(MBR and fat partition are taken from original flash.bin)
-e file : use 'file' for header
-0 file : use 'file' for partition 0 (boot)
-1 file : use 'file' for partition 1 (rawfs)
-2 file : use 'file' for partition 2 (imgfs)
COMMON Option ---------------------------------------------------------------
path : path to flash.bin file
Next, how to extract data from a flash.bin to a directory named output :
Code:
LGFlashMuncher.exe -htmlp FLASH.bin output
How to rebuild a new flash.bin :
Code:
LGFlashMuncher.exe -c newflash.bin -e header.bin -0 part_0_BOOT.bin -1 part_1_RAWFS.bin -2 part_2_IMGFS.bin FLASH.bin
(This rebuild process requires an existing flash.bin file)
At the moment, this tool use the partition layout and the empty fat32 (last partition) found in the original flash.bin file. The next step will be rebuild the partition layout.
I've made some test with this tool, but I cannot be sure it will work in all situations. Spocky had a preview of this tool a couple of days ago, and he successfully built a french 10G and a french 10A : I'm sure he will soon share his knowledge...
Very Nice job !
Thank.
Très bon travail MisterJP.
Merci.
Does this mean we can flash the files we extract with pdocread? (part00.raw, etc)
I think that for the moment only part02.raw

If the generated files are image of your phone partitions, then I guess it's possible if you respect the partitions order.
Hi, misterjp
In your LGFlashMuncher.exe there is an option:
-o : output OS.nb compatible file
I am just wondering is it FLASH.bin to OS.nb?
And is there any way to convert OS.nb back to FLASH.bin?
The reason that i want to do that is because in that case, i can convert a OS.nb which hv a larger partition table to Flash.bin for cooking
Thx in advance
Hi raykisi,
Sorry, but this tool is not able at this time to re-build an Flash.bin from an OS.nb file. It was just a test option while I was testing my code.
I'm planning on updating this tool, but it takes time and I don't have many these days.
JP.
o...gd to hear that you are going to update this tool, we would wait, take you time. And thx for your great work
Hey, sorry about the question.. i know i'm such a noob, but i'm brazilian and my "english understanding" is kind of weak sometimes.. So...
Is there any way to extract the Flash.bin and others of my current ROM? I mean, the actual ROM of my phone?
I'm asking this because here in Brazil we have the MS25/MS20.. A kind of KS20 without 3G, wifi, and front camera devices.. but same processor and same everithing else.. so, I think LG BRASIL will not provide the roms so early, but the v10a are full of bugs! Also i can`t flash with a KS20 rom, because that missing devices and because my operator phone frequency is 850 MHz (VIVO).
well, someone have an idea? Or a link? Or a read recomendation?
Brazilian people are really needing help with this, and we are getting tired to search with no answers..
Thank`s a lot!

Well I think I'm starting to understand. As I always have had the luxury of initflashfiles.txt or app.reg and never edited the .hv manually. It was unclear to me why I would need this or what it would add to a kitchen that supports those features (initflashfiles.txt and app.reg)
So does this app have a function in such a kitchen, I mean is there anything I will need to do manually that can't be done otherwise or is this more like a general app so that the hives on any phone can be more easily changed?
Thanks 12

Hi,
thanks for this software it works great, if you now how to put this commands.
My experience was this:

When I copy HVEdit.exe and cereg400.dll to d:\hive and run this:
D:\hive>hvedit.exe d:\hive\user.hv
I'm getting this:
Admsoft (R) HVEdit Version 2.0.035
Hive and registry file editor.
(C) 2009 AnDim, XDA-Developers.
(HVEdit) Extracting user.hv ...
(HVEdit) Done! and only 21.kB of 69kB .hv file
When I run it on system.hv like this:
D:\hive>hvedit.exe d:\hive\system.hv
I'm getting this:
(HVEdit) Extracting system.hv ...
ERROR: C:\MacB\private\winceos\COREOS\filesys\reg\reghive\.\registry.c line 172: Reg: Invalid reghandle 0x20000a61
and 144kB .hvm file of 105kB .hv
I didn't mention it but I was trying to convert .hv to .hvm
Maybe my dump has got some errors in it.
Any idea what is wrong, why the user.hvm is so small?
Thank you AnDim for great software. It is quite difficult to find out utility for ce hive.
After use for a period I would to to report some small problem.
1. Long multi string was trimed. (Maybe fixed length variable in code) See Ex.
Registry key in my rgu file is
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]
"DirsToExclude"=multi_sz:"\\mxip_initdb.vol",
"\\mxip_system.vol",
"\\mxip_notify.vol",
"\\mxip_lang.vol",
"\\cemail.vol",
"\\pim.vol",
"\\Documents and Settings\\default\\user.hv",
"\\Documents and Settings\\system.hv",
"\\Windows\\Profiles\\guest\\Temporary Internet Files\\",
"\\Windows\\Profiles\\guest\\Cookies\\",
"\\Windows\\Profiles\\guest\\History\\",
"\\Windows\\Activesync\\",
"\\Windows\\messaging\\",
"\\Temp\\"
After change to boot.hv and extract back to boot.hvm the Registry is as hereunder.

; (HVEdit) Done!
2.The size of hv file is larger than original. (This is not effect functional just file size is increase from 732kb to 744kb for instance.)
After investigate, there was extra length on data key which have length just fit 32 bits size. (Maybe when adjust cell size to fit 32 bits)
Hope my comment will be some benefit for you for next version.

This seems to be JUST what I am looking for .... but I am having problems trying to use I suspect is simply a case of finger-trouble on my part, so will greatly appreciate any help available from AnDim or any other users who can point me in the right direction, please.
I think I correctly understand the command line syntax and have run HVEdit to unpack a default.hv registry file taken from a dumped ROM (Toshiba TG01). I then made some basisc edits to the resulting .hmv file and used HVEdit again to recompile back to .hv.
When the ROM is recompiled and flashed it refused to boot. So I went back and tried using HVEdit to convert to .hmv and back without making any changes. Same problem.
I have attached the .bat files i used to run for reference....View attachment 305797
I have been reading about a need to insert REGEDIT4 at the start of the file; have tried doing so but that just results in an error.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated
