Asus P525 NB0 Kitchen by Anper

russian version can be found on:
http://asusmobile.ru/board/viewtopic.php?t=7816
version 080302_1843
This is english translated version of tool for editing of P525 ROM made by Anper.
Sorry for not so quite good english.
Additionally attached utilities for preparing of GIF "AsusP525GIFConverterByMrToto.zip"
About util KitchenNB0.exe:
Warranty: not any, only can say, that not especially include any harmful code to that utility. And before new version posting was firmware changes in mine PPC that made by that util.
don't known if that util works on other models (don't have it), it's tested only on my own ASUS P525. Flashing was made only thru USBloader.exe (don't knew how - read asusmobile.ru or anywhere in other places).
On mine device installed unchanged bootloader from WM6 official.
On WM5 was tested process completion on pc, but without real tests on pocket.
That Utility allow process images ROMGalaxy.NB0 and Galaxy.NB0
(Advised to use ROMGalaxy.NB0 (withiut bootloader), as more safe variant for Your device).
That images can be got by decoding of Galaxy.cap (decode can be done from that util).
First part of tool allow split to parts, and correcterrors in CHS, cut off bootloader, unpack galaxy.cap to ROMGalaxy.nb0 (used data from tool made by Ingvarr).
Second part allow you process IMGFS partition (partition that contain main
software). In that part partition IMGFS can be extracted to file. Get from that DUMP (in future You can do anything you want with that). After that combine DUMP to IMGFS and at the end combine and recalculate checksum of NB0.
splitting and combining functions of IMGFS to DUMP and back executed by Tadzio made utilities. But so they is made for HTC devices, so I'm correct that accordely to ASUS specific. That functions is called from mine tool (execute bat files is not necessary). Correction may be done by pressing button CORRECTION. ROM size is REALLY CHANGED WITH DECREASING OF nb0 image and accordely to size User storage INCREASED - checked (by recompressing of misar firmwares and by other firmwares corrections).
Checksum calculating made is done by tool, but algorhitm is taken from Ingvarr tools (slightly modified to this tool, that does not create all of file image in memory, but recalculate by chunks).
Process ROMs can in different directories, for no all in one place files garbage.
To flash ready file I'm advise thru bootloader and exactly ROMGalaxy.NB0 (without bootloader). Existence of bootloader you can check in first part of tool.
In that complect persist other tools, needed for coocing your rom.
But accordely to them - you must teach it yourself. I'm don't made that.
Also added in third part possibility to change any of parameters in XIP part of ROM (for correct processing parameters must be changed in order: firstly unpacking, changing, packing, and combining NB0).
Work examples:
1. Open NB0, if that not persist - make it from galaxy.nb0 (by cutting off of bootloader) or from galaxy.cap.
2. If that is homemade firmware, possible will be CHS error in MBR. Correct that by pressing button CORRECT MBR. (Why error persist? - Possible our firmware makers ignore that, or firmware was combined by utilities from Tadzio or other that was not adopted for ASUS (also possible CHS not so sensitive)).
Also may appear message about file size differences with sum of sizes of all partitions - it's not harmful - in most cases simple ignore that.
3. Next is Operations with IMGFS tab. In that part can simple do next processes in shown order. Get IMGFS, Create DUMP, edit DUMP as you wish, from DUMP create IMGFS, combine NB0 new and it's all, can flash. For checking you may open newly created NB0 in first part of tool.
4. Flashing may be done by USBLoader.exe.
Another example - correction and optimization of firmware size:
Shortly about compression:
I'm has provided an opportunity to combine IMGFS.new from DUMP with LZX compression (greatest, but slower starting) and XPR.
Choose by pressing needed button. At once want to warn you about not all firmwares have library with compression LZX, accordely to that after flashing, it will not run further to blue screen.
If you have not broke bootloader, this all is reperable (Many peoples through it passed).
Well, like everything, write at a forum.
And a long life for yoursdevices.
P.S. if you found translation errors - please PM to me.
20080303
Translation fixes, exe packed in own archieve as mainly only it changed
1. unpack kitchen ASUS_P525_NB0_Kitchen.zip
2. place ASUS_P525_NB0_Kitchen.exe from exe.zip to directory from 1.

Thanks DaLiV.

How
How can we add additional OEM packages into our rom using this kitchen?

as in all other roms ... split by packages by other tools, if you want, but to that tool return ready dump directory

sorry

Sorry, But I cannot understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate?

search forum for tool like "buildos+packagetools" or "dmp2pkg" - then edit packages and after that make conversion back packages to dump

Sweet kitchen
Just letting everyone know that this kitchen can also be used for Dell Axim X51's - I have
For X51 users, make sure you don't click "Repair CHS" - it's for ASUS PDAs only and will result in a bricked ROM
btw You can also use recookstruct as well to sort the dump into packages, you may have to get rid of some entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings\WelcomeEmail\Templates\ServiceTemplates" because recookstruct can't parse the "®" symbol sometimes found in the key
(Only works with IMGFS, not XIP)

Samsung i780 kitchen - release 0.1 BETA

DEPRECATED VERSION: USE 0.2 BETA INSTEAD
PLEASE NOTICE THAT THIS KITCHEN IS A VERY EARLY BETA AS IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEPLY TESTED
*** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY! ***
Hi guys,
after many days of testing I'm releasing my kitchen for i780.
It is very basic: no gui, only batch Windows scripts.
What you can do with this kitchen:
A) Convert your Part02.raw dumped rom to bin flashable PDA rom
B) Create a dump folder to cook your own rom and recreate a bin flashable PDA file.
Please notice that there's no tool included to edit, add or delete modules and files from rom dump.
You must use one of the tools available here in forum to do this or do this by hand.
Donwload the zip file and extract everything.
READ CAREFULLY THE README FILE IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE
This file explains how the procedures work and what you need.
PLEASE TEST THIS KITCHEN AND REPORT YOUR RESULTS
I thank chaimd for his bintonb0 tool, tadzio for his tools and Juggler for conv3 sourcecode.
I also thank Topogigi for his original procedure.
I modified conv3 tool to make it work with i780 rom files and made split and merge tools.
If you want to try this kitchen, I thank you!
[FONT=&quot]If any guru in the forum wants to make a gui for this kitchen or insert tools for module, file and registry editing (like the ones you can find in other kitchens), it would be appreciated.[/FONT]
Issue 1: it seems there's a problem with Part02.raw conversion. It screws up connection settings. Problem is being investigated.
[Partial solution]: it seems that this problem is due to both size and language: I used an English rom to convert an Italian Part02.raw.
Using an Italian rom seems to solve the problem. But you must check the new rom size: if it's too big it gets cut down and it doesn't work.

Amazing Thank you very much!

I love your footer about the 8502 being a mistake. I also own one. what a dissappointing and relatively useless machine it is, and I can't find a buyer...

I have tried with dump of HC1 italian but I have more problems.
The more little is the desappear of office folder but most important is the deseppear of remote connection e wifi connection.

Convert Part02.raw to .bin
Hello famusc,
Thanks for your effort to create a kitchen for the i780! I wanted to create a backup of my Dutch i780-rom (PDA: i780XKHA3) and I managed to dump part00.raw, part01.raw and part02.raw.
Now I wanted to convert part02.raw to a flashable .bin file so I could reflash this Dutch rom if I want to go back to factory defaults, but the warnings make me a bit scary to test the .bin I created, so I wanted to ask some questions first:
-The .bin has to be as large as possible, I have the i780pda_WWE_test2.bin which is 78.512 kB and my Part02.raw is 79.104 kB. The .bin I get when the conversion is finished has a size of 78.512 kB. Does this mean some data of my original dump is lost? (I kinda understand your conversion tool replaces the part02.raw file of a flashable .bin rom with another part02.raw which in my case is the Dutch part., but is all the information still in it?)
-My second question is if it is a problem if I used an English .bin with a Dutch .raw?
If you could please anwer my questions I would be very happy, because I have seen some requests for Dutch i780 roms and it might come in handy for other languages, because in this rom Windows Live Messenger is included (and obviously working). So maybe someone can extract it.
If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

Thank you for using my kitchen.
First of all I ask you to use version 0.2 BETA: it contains some important corrections in conv3 tool.
Now:
1) Part02.raw is usually bigger than required. So we are interested into its shrinked size. I think that your 78512K bin file should be good.
In 0.2 kitchen it is explained how to check bin size is enough for new data.
2) It's not clear whether you'll have problem with a bin of a different language than raw file. As for my experience, I always got connection problem when I used a different language bin. You can try and then have a look at connection settings and at wifi Internet-Work settings. If you find no connection defined or you can't connect through wifi, than it doesn't work.
You should use a Dutch bin to be sure you'll have no problem.
Hope I helped you,
Bye

Hi, Thank You for your I780 Kitchen ,
this is first time i build a rom,
may i know that where can i found the file
part02.raw?
Thank You for reply =)

Version 0.2: this version contains a new conv3 release. This release it's a little bit more complicated than the previous one but it supports a wider variety of rom images and guarantees correct conversions. Previous release could lead to incorrect roms so you should consider it as deprecated.
For Issue 1, limitations are still the same: you should use a rom of the same language of the dump and mind the result size

this is just great

great job
great effort for the great device.
I will try for sure, thanks a lot

Recreate???
At first thanks for the kitchen!!!
But I got one question... How can I rebuild the dump folder and what files are needed in the kitchen directory to recreate???
Do I just have to start RecreateBin.bat and it uses the files from the dump-directory???
THANKS!!

You must read the PDF file in the kitchen directory. Some parameters may change according to the ROME used

Hi Famusc,
Great Kitchen!
I have some questions before I can try your kitchen.
In the PDF you mentioned, an existing bin PDA ROM, what do you mean by that and how to get it? I have E1 ROM .raw files with me but not the .bin file.
Cheers,
Vibranze

Hi,
Existing bin file will be used as a model ton convert your raw file. Famusc said that the bin file must be the largest possible. So far, we use the D1 bin file. The probleme is E1 raw file part is larger than D1 bin file.
There may also have concerns related to the language of ROM file. I try to cook a French raw file with an UK D1 rom, and the result is a broken ROM

Hi Eunjea & Webise,
Thanks for the explanation.
My current stock ROM is D1 and how to convert it to .bin format if I want to use mine?
Actually I always use English ROM and replace the wince.nls and add some fonts to support Chinese reading
Btw, how do I know what is the value for first jump, footer start and footer checksum address? In the PDF, the first jump address is on 444400 and in my bintonb0.txt I also have 444400, can I follow the same address?
Cheers,

I just want to backup my ROM which is built by my operator so that if I have problems with the upgrade I can always go back to my original ROM.
How can I create the bin files for te part 1 and 3?

Can anyone advise, as there is no bin file for the Omnia this kitchen will not be compatible, right? Or is there a way to create one?

I managed to dump an Dutch rom, version E1.. Could you explain how I can make a flashable image for the complete rom and/or how to make a radio rom from the three parts I dumped?
Furthermore, i have had some issues when I dumped the rom with the instructions that were in the readme.pdf.
There are some connection problems, that the originally phone doesnt have..when I flashed my rom, there werent any connection settings visible. e.g. settings > connections > connections > advanced > select networks, here was nothing visible.
It seems a bit like the same problem that people had with the english dumped E1 rom. Is there a chance that certain files from the raw files werent correctly put in the i780_flashable.bin (final product) ?

Is this the latest version of famusc's kitchen?

Kitchen use:
Select the device you want to cook for (1=ks20, 2=incite...)
Take a dz file, and put it into baserom\(your device name) (KS20, incite, gm750...).
run start.bat
execute a, b, c, kitchen options
now copy temp\dump\sys into \sys\(your sys version), and arrange the files so that it looks like the \sys\20755 folder. Do the same with OEM folder (copy it to \OEM\(your device name).
execute d, and arrange xip folders : copy the content of your oemxipkernel into rom\(your device name)\(your ip version) and everything else into rom\shared\(your xip version)
go into tools\xipport. Launch xipport. Click "dump xip.bin"
OPTIONAL : If you want to port xip to another version click "make pkgs". Now replace modules\msxipkernel* and files\msxipkernel* with the ones from the newer xip. Click "undo".
execute Kitchen "k" and when a message tells you so, click "realloc p", "write maps", "build xip_out.bin". And finally, hit a key on the dos prompt to finish this step (DO NOT HIT A KEY BEFORE BUILDING XIP WITH XIPPORT ELSE IT WON'T WORK).
execute Kitchen "l" to use this xip.
execute "e" to launch ervius kitchen. Then select your device, language, ext, rom dpi, rom res, xip build and sys build. Choose the packages you want to include (for your convenience, I included a few packages tweaks and fixes in EXT\(your device name). Eventually click the "create" button.
Optional for Ks20, required for Incite : execute step h to produce a rom.dz file.
Now enjoy your new creation in builtrom\(your device name).
If you want to make a 1st rom easily, or if something went wrong and you want to verify you've done everything correctly, I'm also providing 2 packages (1 for KS20, 1 for Incite) with almost every step already done. They're very similar to the roms I made (xCite2b, KisS20.4). Download the package you want, extract it into your kitchen folder, then :
- Execute step "B" to generate a few files
- Execute step "E" to launch Ervius kitchen
- Optionnaly, try to rebuild xip part with step "K" and "L" (1st rename xipport\out.INCITE.21046 to xipport\out) (I'd suggest doing this only after building a 1st working rom)
- Click Load and select the preset for your device (INCITE_0409_20755 or KS20_409_20755).
- Click create (and for incite users, execute step "H" of the kitchen to produce a rom.dz).
That's it.
If every step was successful, you should have a flash.bin file in builtrom\(your device name) folder and optionnaly a rom.dz.
KS20 : Then just flash with lgmdp your baserom directory and just change flash.bin path from baserom\flash.bin to builtrom\flash.bin.
Incite : either use the usual way (rom.dz replacement) to flash your device or execute step "i" to produce a rom.exe with teoami tools.
Congratulations, you've just flashed your first LG <insert the name of your device here> cooked rom
Before you ask :
- I chose 20755 build because it's proven to be bugfree for Ks20 and Incite (and build is smaller too), if you understood the process, you should be able to build a rom for any wm build.
- Ks20/Incite Packages contain latest available oem parts (spanish 10e unbranded for the Ks20, 10x for the incite). (Incite is the clean version, if you want the full stock oem, just dump imgfs.bin)
- Base kitchen Ext folder contains everything to build a bugfree 20755 rom.
- If you want to make the same thing for wm6.5, just download a wm6.5 build.xip somewhere and replace the files in the kitchen.
- 20755 folder is not in the basic kitchen anymore, but I've made another archive that you can download if you need it.
- as for vs750 roms, you need to use bin (decrypted) files (not wdb). Don't forget to replace step "a" with "t" and step "h" with "u" in the tutorial above. You will need the decrypted roms available in the bottom of this post.
I'm just asking you 1 thing : if you make changes to this kitchen to improve it, please, share what you've done (and of course, if you're using it, you can also buy me a beer)
Kitchen history:
v2.3 [2011-10-13] - Added (partial: can't decrypt roms for now) support for VS750 roms.
v2.2a [2010-05-10] - Added support for GM735 WM6.5 roms, corrected a bug in GM730 rom creation.

Thanks for your great job! Hoping that KS20 will have its Cook Rom & WM6.1 at last!

waiting for wm6.1 on my lovely ks20

is this the most actual thread to the ROM cooking stuff
Would like to use french 1f ROM but cook German language into it
Greet`s Erich

I have made a flash.bin with language in german for the ROM HKG 10a, which is in normally in english. So, the HKG 10a is newer than the French 10f. Why to use an older ROM? Find the flash.bin here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131832687/flash.zip.html

Thank you itapower
many thanx!
Is there something I have to take care of?
Or can I flash it like I flashed the ROM from 10b to 10e?
Did you just change the language or also other stuff?
Is this ROM running without troubles?
Is it locked or branded?
I have unlocked KS20 with vodafone branding right now,...

changing language of ROM
don`t know why nobody from the pros is responding
Most of my questions I figured out yesterday - but I am very curious how to change the language of a ROM be myselfe
This I couldn`t figure out
Hope someone can tell me which of the 10 .mbn Files I have to change or is the language in the .bin
Greet`s Erich

Basically, you need to extract the flash.bin, replace *.409* folders with *.407* versions (407 is for germany) that you may find in another rom. That's not a trivial operation, although the kitchen helps a lot. There are tutorials here that explain this with more details (search for "translate" ou "localize" rom).

more questions
Hello spocky12!
I got really interested in cooking ROMS while playing around with the kitchen
But I don`t get the difference between "flash.bin" and "imgfs.bin"
What is included in which .bin
When the *.409* folders are replaced with *.407* and the ROM is cooked
is it enough to flash the "flash.bin" to the KS20 without the "imgfs.bin"
Another question is the Registry tweaking - which I wanna do.
You have a folder in the kitchen "Packages\OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack" there are 3 files.
Is the name random or how is the convention?
The .dsm file is Hex - what is it for?
Is it enough to edit the .rgu file?
When cooking the ROM does it include the changes I perform in the .rgu file?
Hope you help me understanding this a bit better
Greet`s Erich

@eriche : follow step by step the kitchen tutorial, you should see clearer.
- Imgfs.bin is a file contained inside flash.bin (as xip.bin and a few other).
- The files you need to modify are inside imgfs.bin
So what you need to do is:
1- extract dz to obtain *.mbn and flash.bin
2- extract flash.bin to obtain imgfs.bin, xip.bin...
3- extract imgfs.bin to obtain WM files
4- change files
5- rebuild imgfs.bin
6- rebuilt flash.bin
7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.
For Registry tweaks, you can directly change rgu file in OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack. When you rebuild you imgfs, it will be automatically added to system registry so you dont need to create a new package.

7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.

Isn`t it possible to flash only the .bin file
With original .mbn files you mean the one from the Base Image where I change the language or the Image where the Language is included
Greet`s Erich

You should be able to flash only flash.bin but I can assure that you won't crash your phone.
To flash, you only need partition.mbn and flash.bin but if partition.mbn differs from your actual ks20 partition (that is, if your actual rom mbn don't come from the same dz than your cooked rom), there's a chance that flash.bin overlaps something else on you phone. So it's secure only if you've already flashed the same mbn and the same partition.mbn before. If not, I can't say, maybe it is, but not for sure.
So as I wrote on first post, to flash, select baserom as rom folder. Each mbn line will automatically populate and the just change the path to flash.bin to your newly built flash.bin (which is in builtrom if you use the kitchen).

language cooking not easy - but I don`t wanna give up!
oh god - it`s not that easy
I don`t know in which step I have to replace the Language folders
With HK-ROM (newer ROM) I did step a-e = 1-8
With GER-ROM (language ROM) I also did a-e = 1-8
but then I have 77 ".0407" and 59 ".409" folders
so why is this? Different languages have different folder amount?
Or should I change the language after step "d" ??
looking forward to bring light inside
EDIT:
I used "PKGToolsBuildOS" (step e) to change the language.
But this tool brings following message
Not copied: OEMBT_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...
Not copied: OEMVVS_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don`t know if this is critically?
I prefere to do things by my own - because I don`t trust tools that crash that often *gg*
GreeT`s

I've never succeded in using PKGToolsBuildOS to change rom language. I do it manually.
It seems that you're counting also subdirectories in your 040x folder count (ie, there's a Base_Lang_0409 folder and inside lies a commctrl.dll.0409.mui. Of course, you don't need to count it as changing Base_Lang_0409 folder will also replace its subdirectories.). Sys folder should contain approximately 30 040x first level folders. Between roms, it there may be 1 or 2 folders less or more (depending on the availability of windows_live and things like that.)
The only thing important is that in the end, every folder that was 0409 is now replaced by 0407 folder.

I did it
Jea - today I did it
I flashed HongKong 10a ROM with German language to my KS20.
I have now
ROM: v10a
Bootloader: v10a
Modem Firmware: V10e
ROM date: 2008-04-29
I don`t understand why the Modem Version is still the "old" one
How can I get the newest modem Firmware from the HongKong ROM?
ROM-Date seems also the "German 10e" date.
Who can bring light inside :I)
Greet`s erich

Informations about version are stored in registry (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\VersionInfo).
As for modem version, it's in mbn files and not in flash.bin.

So does it mean I have the "modem Version" from the HongKong ROM but only it shows the "old" one
Or do I have to change a .mbn file to change Modem Version?
Whitch .mbn file is the one holding the Modem crap?
I know from my friend who owns a HTC Diamond that a new modem version can save battery and bring faster or more stable access,...

What the sticker on the back says?
Is it 5353 (+) / 5355 (+) / 5388 (+)
Black Diamond / King Diamond / ..
Most of these devices have ROMs on chinese forums, You just need to know exact manufacturer and model number.

On the sticker I see:
02-8174-085053
T5353
5T524T9521YT1C2
and another sticker with IMEI. No more.
Phone is tri band, camera 2 Mp, 240x400 screen resolution, pdocread gives (as I remember)
NandOS
-- 3.00 Part00 (cannot read by pdocread)
-- 71.88 Part01 (cannot read by pdocread)
NandFTL
-- 41.?? Part00 (this can read by pdocread and it is ExtROM I think)
Can You tell some URLs for chinese forums? I'm newbie in chinese devices

I found keys combination for hard reset.
For Your information (I think all chinese clones of T5353 haves this things) - press "send button"+"power button" together. After screen blink immediately press "send key" again (not release "power key"). You should see boot menu. Using volume keys select menu item and press "windows" key.

how do you like the phone
Is it OK
does it work good
how much CPU, RAM, ROM
and is this really the hard reset combination
thank you very much

How i update this phone?

Have you tried asking the vendor for the English ROM to update the phone? I've also gotten one of these clones and the vendor gave me the Chinese ROM. He's supposed to get me an English ROM next week.
Meanwhile, I'd like to figure out what the format of that ROM image is so I can cook them myself. The way mine works is by putting a Flash.bin and Loader.bin file on the SD card and going to boot loader. Flash.bin seems to be the one that contains the OS image and everything. It starts with a header B0B0FF.. Here's a thread about the update process: http://www.592zn.com/thread-51422-1-1.html

English ROM WM6.1

Good to see some more discussion on flashing these devices, I am also interested on putting new ROM's on my t5353 clone (maybe update to 6.5 OR put newer manilla/sense etc).
The problem we face is these clone phones are all slightly different from each other. Unlike the people in the sub forums for real HTC phones who all have one thing in similar - their phones have the exact same hardware. For us we need to identify the different types of clones. The best thing would be finding out how much different it is from the real HTC. Asking the vendor is also a good idea, as I believe they flash them before they send them out - so they must have ROM files.
Some people should group together and make a database of dumped ROM's from the most common clone devices (touch king, black diamond, t5355+, etc) and we can begin to anylise the ROM's in comparison to original stock copies of HTC models and see what modifications a clone requires to run the operating system.
I am going to be dumping my ROM from mine when I get it for backup / analysis reasons.

This is for a different model of the phone. My phone is the 5353 model with the Marvell PXA310 CPU and 800x480 resolution. I've got plenty of Chinese ROMs but still no English ROM for it...

the T5353 has a k3 hisilicon cpu, check with profilelevel.exe, I also have a chinese phone mfu w71 and looking for english WM6.5 rom.

ok guys ive been following this thread and i too have a clone t5353 phone. i downloaded the flash.bin and loader.bin files, have put them on my sd card but i cannot figure out how to install wm6.5. i have tried a number of combinations of buttons: return key + end key + power button brings me to a calibrating screen (hangs for a minute and shuts off), send key + windows key + power button brings me to a screen that gives me an error and says img file couldnt be found, send key + end key + power button shows me a downloading screen (hangs for a minute and shuts off). can anyone help me with flashing this rom i am desperate!

hello everyone,
i figured everything out on how to flash my roms but now that i downloaded the flash.bin i cant install it because it says the file does not exist when i run bootloader. i have a chinese wm6.5 i am using now and everything is in chinese so i dont understand a word except the time please give me an english wm6.5 rom in .bin format that works! thank you

You need to have Flash.bin and Loader.bin on the SD card. Then (1) Turn off the phone, (2) while holding the "Hang-up" AND "Back" buttons, press and hold the power button. The phone will vibrate and go to a while screen with boot loader information. At least that's how it works on mine.
Still looking for an English 6.5 ROM though...

any know about russian rom for clone t5353?

Best would be to figure out how to build Flash.bin ourselves otherwise we'll always have to hope ROMs get posted on the Chinese web sites.
What I was hoping is to extract the OS image from an official HTC ROM (English, Russian, etc) and rebuild Flash.bin with it. So far what I have is:
Extracting the official HTC ROM
1. Download the exe from HTC or other site and extract the exe using 7-zip.
2. NBHExtract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
3. osnbtool -sp OS.nb
4. osnbtool -d OS.nb.OS.nb 1 xip.bin
5. osnbtool -d OS.nb.OS.nb 2 imgfs.bin
Now using the Chinese ROM, you can also do something similar:
1. osnbtool -sp flash.bin
2. osnbtool -sp flash.bin.BIN.NB0
3. osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip.bin
4. osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs.bin
But I'm now sure now, how to swap the OS part and rebuild Flash.bin. Some site talk about using osnbtool -2bin. Haven't figured it out yet. If someone knows about this, please chime in!
Thanks,
Bob
