tool to access the samsung onedisk flash

i wrote a new tool that you can use to read the rom image, it can be found at:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/bkondisk.zip
Code:
usage:
first copy bkondisk.exe to \windows on your device, then:
prun bkondisk [targetdir]
will save all partitions on all volumes in files on [targetdir]
prun bkondisk -v0 -p1 [targetdir]
will save a specific partition on [targetdir]
prun bkondisk -v0 -b0 -n1 \firstblock.img
will save the specified blocks to \firstblock.img
prun bkondisk -i
will only list disk info in the logfile "\bkondisk.log"
-v0 or -v1 to specify the volume
-p0, -p1, etc to specify a partition
-b0 etc to specify a starting block ( ignoring partioning )
-n32 specifies to read 32 blocks starting at the above block.
note: you DON'T need to put quotes around directories with spaces in it.
when no path is specified, files will be created in the root.

Thanks! I've got a couple of questions... it extracted the following files:
bk_00_0000.img
bk_02_0005.img
bk_03_0025.img
bk_06_0001.img
bk_08_0175.img
What do these files refer to (which one is the ROM, etc). Also, is there a way to write these backups back to the phone? It would be a great way to try out test roms and get back to my original T-Mobile ROM if necessary.

bk_00_0000.img - IPL : ONBL1 + ONBL2
bk_02_0005.img - GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs
bk_03_0025.img - OS
bk_06_0001.img - SPL
bk_08_0175.img - userfilesystem

Is there a way to write them back to the phone? or is that not possible...

is it possible to get a .nbh files out of these files?
My idea would be to "glue" the 4 files together (bk_00 to bk_06) in one file, rename the file to RUU_signed.nbh and exchange the RUU_signed.nbh created by the RUU.exe in \Profiles\[user]\Local Settings\Temp\pftxx.tmp with this one and then run on the RUU.exe with the modified .nbh
for example in DOS:
copy /b bk_00_0000.img+bk_02_0005.img+bk_03_0025.img+bk_06_0001.img RUU_signed.nbh
Is it that simple?
EDIT:
Ok this easy way doesn't work.
RUU says "Error 238 - File read"
Maybe some kind of checksum is missing....

Three questions for itsme
1. Could these files be used to create a nbf file to flash from the sd card as a backup?
2. Would it be possible to modify sim/cid lock?
3. Are these files in raw (dump) format that could be edited in hex editor?
P.S. Thanks to your other posts (works) that helped me figure out the whole sd card flashing thing for the Dash.

Maybe this helps a little bit to get ideas.
I have been searching here for nights - this is what I found so far:
1. I think it's similar to the Hermes - nobody found a way till now - the first step is to modify a signed .nbh, deleting works but not adding a file:
Hermes - how to dump ROM
Hermes - new custom ROMs
Hermes - ROM cooking and Bootloader MFG 1.01
aChef ROM Utils
2. This is the way Imei-Check is CID-unlocking - investigated by pof:
Reverse Engineering the Herems imei-check unlocker
Maybe there is another way like Zone-MR is doing it for the Star100/Qtek 8500
Star100 Unlock procedure but here you have still to decryt/encrypt the block in my understanding and therefore you have to find out the key
3. I didn't find anything about this so far, but I think the information is anywhere at XDA-Developers
EDIT: here (nl)itsme wrote:
.... but i am still busy, have not had the time to look at creating a tool to convert a memdump to a updater file.

I got different files ...
After running the tool I got :
bk_0__0000.img (IPL? Is it same as bk_00_0000.img?)
bk_02_0005.img (GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs)
bk_03_0025.img (OS)
bk_06_0001.img (SPL)
bk_08_0185.img (?????)
I did not get bk_08_0175.img, though.
Hints?
On the other hand, is it possible to extract files out of IMG files?
Thanks.

Tutorial for ipaq hx2000 series rom cooking

Rom cooking tutorial for hx2000 series
We will need:
mamaich's tools:http://mamaich.uni.cc/wm_re/imgfs_tools.rar
hx2000_tool: http://rapidshare.com/files/7435199/hx2000_Tool.rar.html
PEID: http://rapidshare.com/files/10292835/PEiD.rar.html
1. Open the program hx2000_tool.exe
2. There are two buttons: unpack & pack. Push unpack and select the nbf file of your rom. From extraction we take the nk.nba in the same folder as the nbf file is. put this file in mamaich tools folder
3. Now we will use mamaich tools.
Open a command prompt window and go to mamaich tools folder. Then run:
prepare_imgfs nk.nba
viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
And now we have the Dump folder with the extracted rom's files.
4. With this commands:
addfile(filename)
delfile(filename)
we can add or remove files.
When we finish all changes that we want to do we use the command:
buildimgfs
5. After run the command:
make_imgfs.exe nk.nba
6. We execute again hx2000_tool.exe to pack the new rom.This time we select pack(we must move the nk.nba back to the folder of the nbf), we check the option Pool size and we select from the list the pool size.
7 Correct the crc
For this we use the PEID program. Run PEID and select your rom's nbf file. Push the arrow on the lower right corner and select plugins -> crc32. Appears a small window.Enter the crc of our rom(for sp33752 the crc is E7A8B309) in collumn New crc. Check the "Overwrite mode" and press Fix.
8. The rom is ready for flash to the device.
Note:
These are translated from 4pda.ru( thanks to russian developers)
and I haven't more information for you. More you can find in 4pda.ru

great
Great!!
I think this is instruction of how to delete and add files from and to a ROM.
Dump a ROM out then delete/add files then pack it back...
Great work translator and the Russ.
Dancer69 and others... can you find me the info how to flash my hx2190b ?
I keep getting mismatch SKU when I tried to flash ROM WM6 from Rom version 1.00.00H
Thank you and waiting for your answers

I don't know if you already tried this but I read in 4pda.ru(from what I understand cause I don't know russian and I use wordlingo for translation and its not good) that someone with 2190b succeed to flash with this way:
He run the ruu utility from sp33003 and when pass the check he replace the EPAKROM.nbf with the nbf from wm6(first rename it).

XIP extraction
Additional information to your cooking tutorial : How-to extract XIP for HP2xxx
RomMaster 2.3 is needed (with -b option)
http://rapidshare.com/files/84961371/XIP_Tools.rar
You need nk.nba (from step 2 of dancer_69's tutorial):
> Rommaster.exe nk.nba -w 5 -b 0x00280000 -x -o xip.bin
Create an empty directory named XIP (aka : > mkdir XIP)
> Dumprom.exe xip.bin -5 -d XIP​
You wil found the XIP in XIP directory!

WM 6.5 rom cooking newbie
Ok...I am trying to remove as much unneccesary stuff off the wm6.5 rom for my iPAQ hx2410 as possible like bubble breaker,etc. I dont really know what else I can remove witout hurting the whole system so I am wondering what else I can remove that can make it lighter...also I want to replace windows media player with core player but I only have the cab file for core player and when I try to build it, there is an error...How can I add new programs without these errors??? Also, I followed all the necessary steps posted above except the last part with the peid file i was supposed to download...It says it was a virus so I found an updated Peid but i didnt see the option to finish that last step..I am very very new at cooking so anything u can advise me about doing so would be helpful..THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

Is there a semi-specific list of files which are safe to remove? I followed the steps and I have a dumped ROM, but now that I can play with the files, I don't know what to remove without destroying dependencies or killing the functionality.

nice one...

this is amzing tool

well done brother

OK so i took a .bmp file i created and converted it to .nb ... what exactly do i do next? can you only inject this file while a ROM is being cooked? or do i need to overwrite an existing file in the \windows directory?
I am using Kavana 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur BTW...

This has nothing to do with OS side. You need to create a NBH file for your device, with the NB splash screen inside, and flash it to replace the bootscreen.

so how to do "inject the .nb file int the .nbh file?
i have the original .nbh file and i've created the .nb file... what's the next step exactly?
and it's an .nbh unsigned file so its not locked down

Use any tool available to create NBHs, for example HTC Rom Tool. To flash your custom NBH file you'll need USPL or HardSPL installed on your device. Also for Excalibur specific instructions look [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2366103&postcount=13]here[/url], because you'll need to add the smartphone signature manually.

i tried using the htc rom tool but when it loads, it fails to update the devices list. says internet connection probs... im on the net to its not my internet connection. oh well. guess i will wait a little longer..... im really a noob when it comes to this part of modding. All i want to do is to replace the first splash screen that comes up ( the HTC one ) and the second splash screen ( the windows mobile one) with the two i created.

ok i finally created an .nbh file from the .nb file i used to get the mainsplash.nb file. But when i do the flash all i get is a green gradient filled mainsplash screen and not the image that i converted. Was there something i did wrong? bear in mind i have the HTC Excalibur Smartphone
Basically since all i wanted to do was to flash the main splash screen i created a .txt file with this info:
EXCA10000
1111111
1.11.0.0
USA
600,02_MainSplash.nb
i made sure i named the created .nb file to "02_MainSplash.nb" and dropped it into the directory where the .txt file was located. I got the output .nbh file and compared it with my original .nb file and it was 1kb larger than the .nb.....
When i created the .nb file i used the code you posted on another thread and it looked like this: nbimg.exe -F MainSplash.bmp -w 320 -h 240 -n .... the name of the file was MainSplash.bmp any suggestions? i had heard you talk about adding the "this is smartphone signature" manually. Could this be the problem? If that's the case, i suck as hexediting, so maybe you can hexedit it 4 me?
also note that i got a flash wtire error too when running the RUU

When I first saw this thread I was like "yay! a new EASY way to flash a just the boot image!" But I was wrong, just gets you one step closer Still thanks for the tool tho...what would be nice is a tool that you just insert the BMP or image, then it generates a flashable .nbh like the one I attatched (but that's asking too much) . The .nbh below is only 500kb and it flashes to my Vogue and ONLY replace the first boot screen (then hard-resets the phone). How did that person make that!?

So here's the deal on my ventures.
I've found out that although the excalibur is a 320 X 240 sozed screen the actual .bmp and .nbh files are 240 X 320 ... I verified this by extracting the .nb and .bmp files from the HTC ROGERS and TMO .nbh files the images looked fuzzy, but they work when they are injected into my phone. So here's what i did. I created a .bmp image from scratch using 320 X 240 attributes. the name of the file was 00_MainSplash.bmp. I then used pof's nbimg.exe file and typed in cmd window: nbimg.exe -F 00_MainSplash.bmp -w 320 -h 240 -n
. then it gave me 00_MainSplash.bmp.nb which i renamed and took off the extra .bmp in the middle. Then i did this .nb file in reverse by typing nbimg.exe -F 00_MainSplash.nb to see what the output .bmp file would look like. When i looked at the output .bmp file it was all distorted in the same way the official carrier .bmp files looked like. So i figure ok, i got it correct now. Here's where the issue occurs. I use the nbhgen.exe file and type nbhgen dash.txt (the .txt file is called dash.txt)
The text reads:
EXCA10000
1111111
1.11.0.0
USA
600,00_MainSplash.nb
so i execute it and it gives me the RUU_signed.nbh file . The file size is around 151kb I then use the RUU updater and execute that (after i run the USPL CID Bypass) Then after the updater states it's successful the phone reboots and gives me a green gradient screen as the first splash screen and not the file i created. I figured i must be going something wrong (obviously)
if i try and re-extract the .nb files out of my new .nbh file using NBHExtract.exe the only file that turns out is: 00_MainSplash.nb ... now when i ran that same utility on the Tmobile, Rogers and HTC official. nbh files the output files were 2: one was: 00_MainSplash.nb & 00_MainSplash.bmp,,, so it seems like the .nbh files should contain a .nb and a .bmp file somehow.
So i went back to my dash.txt file and changed it to read:
EXCA10000
1111111
1.11.0.0
USA
600,00_MainSplash.nb
600,00_MainSplash.bmp
i also tried:
EXCA10000
1111111
1.11.0.0
USA
600,00_MainSplash.nb
601,00_MainSplash.bmp
and tried using that output file with the RUU updater. Either way it gave me a flash error and kept that same green gradient screen upon first boot.
So if anyone can tell me where i fouled up i'd be indebted to you.
edit: ok a retract what i said about the nbhextract.exe not outputing 2 files when i extract the .nb file i created. So there must be something else im not doing right..... pof had mentioned something in another thread about using a hex editor to sighn the .nb file for smartphones. but i have no idea how to do that.
Edit2: I think one of two things are going on. 1. The .nb or .nbh file must be signed for smartphones like pof mentioned.... or 2. the nbhgen.exe is somehow malforming the format of the image ( such as converting it from 320x240 to 240x320 ) or the certificate doesnt work with the excalibur that nbhgen uses

Wait a while and I will make it smartphone friendly and with option to directly generate NBH for you. I'll update the first post when its done.

Hi All,
What is the HTC Thouch Diamond MODEL ID ? Where can I found it?
Regards,

Change your boot splash screen to any custom one.

First of all, thanks to lukybandit and pof for their help and threads which made this possible.
This tutorial will allow you to change your initial splash screen to any 320 X 240 customized splash screen of your choice.
You will need to download 3 items below:
The nbimg 1.1.zip file made by pof
the 2 .zip files (1.) Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip (2.) Excalibur USPL - CID BYPASS.zip
Unzip all 3 files and place the contents into "local disc C:" root directory.
first thing to do is to create a bitmap file ".bmp" with a 320 x 240 screen resolution. I recommend taking any image you make and using photoshop or gimp or even MS Paint to make the resolution 320 X 240 and then save it into "local disc C:" root directory. To make it easy to follow with this tutorial, save it with the file name of "MainSplash.bmp".
UPDATE 6/4/09: Additional instruction if you are not creating using MS Paint. Thanks to TheExpertNoob
If your "Designing" your 320x240 boot screen in Photoshop, save it, then flatten the image (discard hidden layers as well).
Once that is done, CTRL+A, CTRL+C (to copy whole flatten image from photoshop) open MS Paint and set the dimensions of a new file as 320x240 in MS Paint, CTRL+V, then save it as a 24-bit bitmap in MSPaint. (this seems to remove any "Information" Photoshop puts into the BMP file if you were save as in photoshop, which seems to cause the messed up boot screens. reopening a photoshop saved BMP in MSPaint won't work either.)
Then back in photoshop undo your "flatten image" to modify to your liking later.
If your still not having any luck, download one of the premade bootscreens found in these forums ex. HTC, flash it and start over with the above steps (so your overwriting your custome over a clean boot screen)
After you've created your .bmp file, the next thing you're going to do is to open up a command prompt and type: "cd c:\" . press enter. this should take you to a c:\ prompt.
Next you're going to type this:
Code:
nbimg -p 108514 -n -s -w 320 -h 240 -F MainSplash.bmp -T 0x600 -S 1024 -D EXCA10000
press enter.
{{{Keeping mind of the upper or lower case of the letters (this is important!)
if it is a upper case "S" then it has to be a upper case "S" (not "s") and lower case "n" then use a lower case "n" (not "N").}}}
If you do it right, it should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
you will end up getting two output files:
MainSplash.bmp.nb &
MainSplash.bmp.nbh
(you can delete the MainSplash.bmp.nb)
Next step is to rename the output file. (MainSplash.bmp.nbh)
Open the folder "Excalibur-USPL-RUU" and locate the file "ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh" use this exact file name to rename the file you just created. Once renamed you're going to cut and paste that file into the "Excalibur-USPL-RUU" folder and overwrite the original.
UPDATE 6/4/09: Alternate Instructions if doing this with Energy Based ROM: thanks killa-mckilla!
(Rename the file to EXCAIMG.bmb.nbh , not ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh)
Next, you need to prepare your phone for this flash of the splash screen.
( if your phone is not app unlocked this procedure WILL NOT WORK! If your phone is not app unlocked, please download and run the SDA_Application Unlock.zip file from your PC below)
You will need to power your phone off and remove your micro-SD card ( if you have it installed, if not just reboot it) now power your phone back on.
(this seems to work better when a non-sliding panel (chome) homescreen is active, so you may want to change this at this time if you are using a sliding panel homescreen.) ))
Connect your phone to your PC via activesync.
Open the folder named "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" and run the file "Uspl.bat" follow the instructions on the screen and after abour the 3rd or fourth enter press your phones screen should turn white. You should hear the audible sound from your PC indicating that something was just disconnected. ( don't worry it should reconnect immediately ) Activesync will not detect your phone. this is normal.
Now you will open the folder "Excalibur-USPL-RUU" and you're going to run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe". follow the on-screen instructions. If done successfully, the RUU will give you a success screen and your phone will reboot. You should now see your newly created boot splash screen that you just created!.....I am currently pursuing how to also change the second splash screen (the windows mobile screen) and will update this tutorial when that happens. Let me know if any part of this is confusing or if you have any difficulty with the results.

Good post man, hopefully this will help a lot of people out with similar questions regarding this.

Hey Pudgedaddy, good post. I know this want work for me, but is there any way to change it without flashing? I would like to change but didn't know where to start.

I don't think so. The initial splash screen is part of the the ROM so you have to flash a .nbh file in order to change it.... as far as i know.

Yes. In the case of excalibur users, it's either the HTC first boot screen, the t-mobile first boot screen, or the rogers first boot screen that they see as soon as they turn on the phone.

ok, 'cause on mine , I have a blue windows screen for a couple of seconds and then it changes to a green windows screen with the custom rom's name that stays on thru rest of boot process. I found a reg hack to change the second boot screen, thats why I was asking.

what's the reghack that you use....? maybe i can change my second boot screen too.

The reg entries are at HKLM\System\Startup\1. In there you will only want two keys, one called Duration and the other Splash. If there is ay others, remove them. I have Duration set as dword and is 9000. Splash is image location. It should be in windows folder and word is jpg doesn't work but that gif does. I think png does also. You can do the same for HKLM\System\Shutdown\1. Image size is 320X240.

oh ok.... i have a variation of this same hack adapted from thw WM6 t-mo ROM for my phone. ( I actually have a thread that talks about how to do this with screens and sounds) anyway, with this hack i end up having 3 screens...... 1 my custom first boot screen, 2. the standard windows mobile screen, 3, my other custom boot screen using the reg hacks.
So i guess there's still something in the ROM that needs to be flashed to change the 2nd boot screen for the DASH

the nbimg.exe file and whatever .bmp file both have to be in the root C:\ directory.
basically, if you're starting out as "c:\ nbimg -p **********" the c:\ part if this assumes that anything you are running is in the c:\ root diretory. so when you type after that "nbimg" it is searcing got the program in c:\ only. it will not search your entire hard drive(s) for this app. secondly the .bmp has to be also in c:\ because nbimg.exe also only looks in whatever directory it is currenty in. Now technically this doesnt have to be in c:\ it can be anywhere you want.... say your desktop. but if you have it somewhere else, you'd have to change the active directory you're in before you start. Some people don't know how to get to the active desktop directory in a command prompt. I only listed the instructions to be placed in the C:\ root directory because it makes it a whole lot easier not having to type out the entire direcotry name. (so you type in " cd c:\ " instead of "cd c:\documents and settings\*username*\desktop\" to get to the active directory) which makes this less error prone with noobs running command prompt.

is the .bmp you are trying to convert named "Mainsplash.bmp" ???
basically the mainsplash.bmp refernces the .bmp file you are converting. if your .bmp file is named something different, you need to either insert that filename.bmp in place of mainsplash.bmp or rename your file to mainsplash.bmp
edit: secondly if the file is named "MainSplash.bmp", do you have it in the same directory as nbimg.exe? if not it needs to be in the SAME DIRECTORY!
(ex: if nbimg.exe is in C: <root directory> then MainSplash.bmp need to also be in C: <root directory> )

Okey I have changed my second load screen and eveything works but when I look in eg edit for hklm/system/startup I cannot find it. I'm using a tilt. anythoughts

Hi, I tried this method step by step and got my splash to change, but the actual picture is really distorted compared to the original bmp pic. Not sure what happened there. I tried it using different bmp files and every time the splash screen is distorted. I am using Rickywatt v24 vanilla rom.

was the original image a 320X240 resolution? it HAS to be an original 320X240 ( and not a 240X320 ) resolution in order for the output to match the input.

Hi all Im new to the dev scene here on xda but recently I flashed Likewise S5 on my SGH-I747M you can find the link below. So likewise runs on @ibuddlers kernel and its a really good kernel but i was tired of the same "SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII" boot logo before the animation. So i looked around and found a thread to change the logo (link also below). I wanted to change my logo but not drasticaly. I was looking at some new devices booting up on youtube eg. S6,M9 and found they all had this "POWERED BY ANDROID" logo on the bottom of the booting screen. Thats what I put in and im going to show you guys how.
Requirements:
-Android kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3229484&d=1427333849
-Windows Imge Editor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2313470&d=1381334320
-IMG to TAR tool
https://www.mediafire.com/?3bnt4ifsznmocog
-kernel of your choice the "boot.img" file
-Odin Flasher tool and knowledge of how to use it
LETS BEGIN:
STEP 1 : UNPACK THE KERNEL
-Extract android kitchen to the desktop in a folder called "aIMGchanger"
-Extract Windows Image Editior to the desktop in a folder called "wIMGtool"
-Put boot.img in the "aIMGchanger" folder
-Open CMD in the "aIMGchanger" folder and type the following command
Code:
unpackimg boot.img
STEP 2: FIND THE IMAGE AND CONVERT IT TO PNG
-Now go to the aIMGchanger\ramdisk folder
-Look for the ".rle" file mine was "initlogo.rle"
-Copy that file and paste it in the "wIMGtool" folder you created earlier (remember its name)
-Open CMD in the "wIMGtool" folder and type the following command
Code:
rle2png nameoftthrle.rle 000x000
nameoftthrle.rle = write the name of your rle
000x000 = write your phone's resolution
FOR EXAMPLE MINE WOULD BE:
Code:
rle2png initlogo.rle 720x1280
-Close the CMD Window now
-There should now be a .png file in the "wIMGtool" folder
-Edit it with the photo editor of your choice and place it back in the "wIMGtool" folder
STEP 3: Convert the PNG back to RLE
-Open CMD in the "wIMGtool" folder and type the following command
Code:
png2rle nameofttherle.png
nameoftthrle.rle = write the name of your rle
STEP 4: PLCAE THE RLE BACK IN AND REPACK THE BOOT.IMG
-Now you should have a file like this "nameofyourrle.rle.png.rle"
-Rename it to the orignal file name you remember from STEP 2
-Place it back in the aIMGchanger\ramdisk folder
Open CMD in the "wIMGtool" folder and type the following command
Code:
repackimg
-Rename the "image-new.img" to "boot.img"
STEP 5: CONVERT IMG TO TAR AND FLASH VIA ODIN
-Extract the IMG to TAR tool and place your new boot.img inside the extracted folder
-Run "ImgToTar.MD5.bat"
-There should now be a boot.tar file in the IMGtoTartool folder
-Open Odin and Flash it
-Enjoy
