HERE"S HOW TO DO A BACK UP !!!
first of all make sure everything is out of the way cos it could get messy if not done properly (accidents have been known to happen due to utter carelessness)
once that is done ... follow these steps !
1)put gear in R
2)gently press the accelerator
3) voila .... u have successfuly backed up !!!

hi not to start a flaming war here
but few points
1)stop writing in german!!! couldn't understand a word you wrote there ..if thats ENGLISH its riddled with so many mistakes its totally incomprehensible
2) read the first point again ! then start to back up!!! hehehe SUCKERS!

Guys, the instructions have been posted quite a few times already.. search for i780 and you will find all the relevant threads with information about this subject

@zohaer21,
yes, my english is very bad. But your comments very stupid, not very helpful for "Suckers". You are a great guy
Iam not the only one, who wants to backup, see the other posts.
Sorry that iam not an expert... ok, i dont ask longer for back up...

To dump the i780 rom you have to do just few steps.
1) Change the security policies to install the needed utility
With a regedit sw change the value in the following key
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001
from 2 to 1
2) Download the utilities from here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
3) open a prompt on the PC, Chdir to the directory where the utlities are previuously unpacked and type the following command
pdocread.exe –l
The output will be something like
254.25M (0xfe40000) DSK1:
| 1.25M (0xYYYYYY) Part00
| 2.88M (0xZZZZZZ) Part01
| 76.25M (0xWWWWW) Part02
| 172.50M (0xYYYYYY) Part03
3.79G (0xZZZZZZ) DSK2:
| 3.79G (0xWWWWW) Part00
[...]
4)
Type the following commands
pdocread -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0xYYYYYY Part00.raw
pdocread -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0xZZZZZZ Part01.raw
pdocread -w -d DSK1: -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0xWWWWW Part02.raw
Obviously change YYY,ZZZ,WWW, with the real values taken from step 3
Your dump is done.
The files are a backup of the rom but arent ready to be flashed back again with the mirage tool, you have to use other tools to obtain someting useful.
Search for the famusc kitchen for further details.

Thanks Solutor,
Using your directions I have managed to create the three raw files from the Greek rom and have uploaded them here: http://rapidshare.com/files/117931688/Tools.rar.html
Could someone who is more experienced/capable than me convert them into a flashable format?
Thanks

@ The Solutor,
great! Many,many thanks!!!

There's something wrong on your windows installation, is hard to say what.
Have you tried to disable/uninstall any AV/Firewall and any low level SW eventuyally installed ?
Also can someone recommend a registry editor for i780?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a lot of SW, free and non free, the best regeditor that runs directly on the device is Resco Regedit (commercial), followed by PHM registry editor (free).
There are also a lot of remote registry solutons (meant to be installed on the PC), Soti pocket controller has a very good regedit, CeRegedit is a free solutions handy but a bit buggy, then mobile registry editor (free, stable but very basic).

Thanks for the help i managed to get the files. The problem was that i was running the pdocread file alone(in the folder the dll where missing)

Dump of DDHE1 version
I have created the dump of DDHE1 version. I have the raw files. How can I now make the mirage usable file from these files. Any Help??
Also pls let me know if anybody require these files.

How do i make a FULL Backup of my GER HTC Diamond ROM?

Hi,
i get the Original Diamond of HTC today and before i make any changes i want to have a full backup of my ROM. Can anyone tell me of i can do this and tells me what i need to do it?

what do you mean with "any changes"?
if you just install software and modify the registry yor full backup ist the hard-reset.
otherwise, if you try cooked rom, you will always have the option to flash to an original rom und the flash back to stock spl.

Thnaks for your arnsware!
I want to flash a cooked ROM. And i will have a a backup of my original ROM.

as i said, that's not necessary, you would know that, but you also would know how to do though, if you had read this forum carefully!

Iam new here and my english is not so perfect that i could read the whole forum. I just ask for a link where i can read it and where i can found software i need.
I also use Search function but i dont find anythink help me

Hi,
I would also join to the question. I spent yesterday a couple of hours, but didn't find an clear answer
So, could you please help us. Questions are:
1. How can I make a copy of all system data in device:
- ROM (operating system?);
- HardSPL (do we need to back up it?);
- radio (phone) part
- do I I forget something?
2. How can I restore the backups after flashing a cooked ROM, HardSPL ... ?
Is anywhere in this forum instructions for those actions for Diamond?
Links to appropriate threads are welcome
to All:
Please don't be angry. Here are many wonderful and powerful tools, which can kill my device in hands of newbie. For me, it's like an atom bomb. Of cause, I want be sure, that I'll not destroy the universe
to M0ng0:
All that I found was XDAtools. Nice tool, but the question about HardSPL is still open

just look that forum to get your answers!

but: if your english is that bad you should try any things not really knowing what you are doing??
hard-spl is not necessary to backup you device, but you need it if you want to flash some other roms. if you then want go back to original, you first need to flash the rom, afterwards you have to flash back to original spl. please notice that this is only possible with the unsigned version of hardspl!

Wow! Thanks a lot!
That is exactly what I'm looking for

I read so much yet, that I could work through till step 2. That means I have
Part00.raw
Part01.raw
Part02.raw
Part03.raw
in one folder. I have downloaded Diamond Kitchen. Put the files in "BaseROM". And now??? When I start "!BEGIN.cmd" there are a few errors "file could not be found" Then finally HTC Rom Builder opens. But I have no possible .nb*-Files to open.
I just want a flashable version of my actual ROM, that I can flash back in guarantee case.
Please help so I can flash a new better ROM nearby

Dump original VF ROM
I want to add another 2 questions:
1. Where do I find the Model ID, Country ID and Version. Is it needed to make the rom "original"?
2. I think it's really useful to make a software backup of the actual state, because the ROM properties have to fit to the software, right?
Thank you in advance
Schumi

I read everywhere that if i rebuild raw files i get only OS.. but it seems that all raw files are a full dump from my phone.. so is it possible to make a FULL flashable backup???
Thanks in advance

Also BuildOS.exe always in three different PCs stucks with error of type send report to microsoft etc...
Is there any WORKING guide to rebuild a dumped ROM please? I have searched for many hours in the forum but didn't find anything specific...
Thanks in advance

SGH-i600 ROM cooking

1. The ROM of the SGH-I600 Phone can be dumped with the romdump tool from TxCaesar:
see the post
http://mobile.txcaesar.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=83
or can be downloaded directly from:
http://rapidshare.com/files/125578441/romdump.rar.html
so...
dumprom.bat has 3 lines that need to be changed:
pdocread -w -d %yar0% -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x%yar1% Part00.raw
pdocread -w -d %yar0% -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0x%yar2% Part01.raw
pdocread -w -d %yar0% -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x%yar3% Part02.raw
the block size "-b 0x800" may need to be altered to 0x200 or the part "-b 0x800" must be
completely removed .
this 2 options works and the results are identical (ich heve compared part02.bin with
hexeditor! )
i prefer option "remove the "-b 0x800" part completly "
the finished dump you can download from this links:
"romdump-i600xxgg2-raw" - part02.raw only
http://rapidshare.com/files/166620423/romdump-i600xxgg2-raw.zip.html
for further work we must rename the part02.raw to part02.bin
2. the dump can be easy extracted to the subfolder "dump" with all the .exe .dll .mui etc.
files with the ImgfsTools 2.1rc2.zip by tadzio .
see here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
because the part02.raw=part02.bin ist IMFGS file it can be easy extract with the comand :
ImgfsToDump part02.bin
the finished extraction from dump you can download from this link
rumdump-i600xxgg2-bin_dump.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/166710445/rumdump-i600xxgg2-bin_dump.zip.html
3. for the further coocking we need to Extracting the OS payload from the Upgrader exe single
file , see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1371344&postcount=8
i have made it with the hexeditor, see the file "i600XXGG2_BOOT_PDA_ROM_FIRMWARE-zip.zip":
http://rapidshare.com/files/166580241/i600XXGG2_BOOT_PDA_ROM_FIRMWARE-zip.zip.html
they are 3 parts:
1.Bootloader : xxgg2_boot2.nb0 (xxgg2_boot1.nb0 PROBABLY WORKS TOO - IN THE
i600UXXupdater.exe ARE 2 BOOTLOADER'S - THE FIRST IST ON BEGINN FROM UPDATER AND ITS
DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER , THE SECOND IS BEFORE THE xxgg2_pda.bin - THIS IST TESTED - ITS
WORKS)
2.PDA : xxgg2_pda.bin
3.PHONE : xxgg2_phone_rom.bin
I EXTRACT IT FROM I600XXUPDATER.EXE . ALLOCATION OF THE PARTS ARE:
START ADRESS | END ADRESS | SIZE | SIZE
HEX HEX HEX MB
xxgg2_boot1.nb0 002D0240 | 003E2FFF | 112FFF | 1,07 -not tested
xxgg2_boot2.nb0 003E3000 | 04F5FFF | 112FFF | 1,07 - tested
xxgg2_pda.bin 004F6000 | 04CB3342 | 47BD343 | 71,7 - tested
xxgg2_phone_rom.bin 04CB3343 | 05A99B82 | DE6840 | 13,9 - tested
xxgg2_boot1.nb0 is not tested yet, but probably its works fine, but i need not it to test
now...for rom cooking is it no needed...
4. we need OS.nb.payload - file ending in nb0). this can be made with cvrtbin from the
xxgg2_pda.bin
link to download it (with the right cvrtbin ) :
I600XXGG2_PDA-NB0.zip:
http://www.megaupload.com/pl/?d=AJQQEP9B
then nbsplit -acer I600XXGG2_PDA.NB0
and we have payload...

I have removed all languages except polish (extra added) .
All unusable mui/dll/rgu/dsm etc. files are removed ...so the acces to the all aplication is faster

I've tested polish rom, it works faster and more stable, but there are some problems with sms reading and reciving, after hard reset and install- for example office wm6 I'cant recive any sms. Before install any aps - some times I can't open message from topic menu and I must restart phone.

aha...you dont read the "redme"...
after flashing go to "\my documents\my data" and instal "instalacja"
this should fix your problem

I have "Instalacja" installed.
When sms incoming - backlight on, but inbox is null and there is no way to restore incoming massages
I will try re-flash rom, but maby rom not works properly only with my operator (orange)?

you have absolutely right. mo sms receiving and no sms sending....
i try to fix this...

All works fine for me but there's only one problem - I've installed SDHC driver, after a soft reset the Storage Card is not mounted to my card but in / is a second folder for microSD card - Storage Card 2.
Also in the Task Manager the capacity of my storage card is wrong, it's copied from the device storage....
EDIT:

1. remove your card
2. remove the Storage Card folder
3. put back your card

Before my Samsung i600 was with a Vodafone branded version of WM5. I'm from Romania and the original ROM was:
PDA: i600BUGD1
Phone: i600BUGD1
H/W: Mp 1.900
Pleas, any suggestion!

Upgrade to original WM6 from Samsung, that will change your boot and radio version. After that, flash your i600 with the modified ROM.

I don't have the original ROM from Samsung. The online upgrade is no longer available now .
I have the saved ROM files with the method posted here (part00.raw, part01.raw, part02.raw), but i don't know what to do with this files.
I don't want a modify ROM anymore, i just want to work, even with the original WM5, but i don't know how to do that.
Can anybody give me some advices?

Ok, i have solve the problem, with some help from here: http://www.modaco.com/content-page/257857/unluckily-i-get-a-brick-i600-help/page/20/
*Hope that is allowed by administrators, at that address is many links to this forum, included in the post with the solution on my problem.
The drivers for my i600 was the problem.
I have downloaded the Samsung Composite Drivers and it work.
The drivers can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...968&page=40, at post 400.
It seems that Windows failed to found the drivers for the phone part of my device, without notice me about that, that was the reason why the device failed to download the phone part.
I will try to **** my own ROM now and see what's gonna result
All the best to all and i will keep the connection!

Hi. I've used dumprom to backup my original ROM. If I decide to reinstall this firmware with the Samsung MultiLoader, which file is the Boot (.nb0), which the PDA (part02.raw, renamed in pda.bin, I suppose) and which file is the Phone part?
Thank you.

after i rename part02.raw to part02.bin can i flashing with it?so it just like FULLY backup?

[ROM][WWE]ASUSP835 6.5.3 build 28002 (last updated: 10-12-09)

Hello everyone,
here's the wm6.5 rom for asus p835.
last updated: 10-12-09
http://cid-cf1603cd2858a369.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/PUBLIC
So far tested everything ok except Garmin XT not working anymore. Cant even start the application. Please let me know if you find otherwise.
btw, as usual, you use this rom at your own risk as you should understand there's always risk when flashing rom to your mobile... blah blah blah..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14-12-09]
I guess most of us p835 users have to use our own effort to build the rom for this phone.
Here i will give you some guide how I did building the ROM. Hopefully we can gather more intelligence to make a nicer ROM for this phone.
first off, I will explain how to properly extract xip/sys from the original ROM. With these only you can modify it's system.
Tools needed: p835abisplit2.exe, osnbtool.exe
1. rename the original ROM you downloaded from asus site. Rename to G5.exe. run command: "p835abisplit2 g5.exe". You will now get a file FLASH.BIN.
2. Now we need to work with FLASH.BIN. Using OSNBTOOL, put in command "osnbtool -sp flash.bin", you will get something just like below:
OS ROM Partition Tool V1.59 By Weisun :> PDAclan.com
Sector size : 0x00000800
Extra data bytes : 0x00000008
OS IMAGE found.
Partitions infomation:
**************************************
Part-0 type: BOOT SECTION image
Part-1 type: XIP RAM Image
Part-2 type: IMGFS file system
Part-3 type: legit DOS partition
**************************************
Found BIN_FILE structure in source file.
Records: 0x0000036D RecordsSize: 0x06E10328
StartAddr: 0x01030200 ---------------->we need this address when we repack flash.bin. Check if yours is the same with this?
flash.bin.Header written.
3. command: "osnbtool -sp flash.bin.BIN.NB0"
4. command: "osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs.bin" --> you'll get imgfs.bin
5. command: "osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip.bin" --> you'll get xip.bin
6. command: "imgfstodump imgfs.bin" --> with this, you'll get a "imgfs" folder. You'll need to make it into a easy to use package. rename the folder to dump.
7. command: "packagebuilder dump" --> you will see inside dump folder, you have all files packed into different folders. You wont be able to see a single file in dump folder. if you do, probably packagebuilder unable to recognize them or something wrong with the files(i'm not sure what to do then). The most important thing in dump folder are the folders with letters starting with OEMxxxx and .ROM, .VM. These few folders should be retained in the new system. Others are all replaced with new system.
assume you are able to modify everything without question, you are now in the situation where you want to repack a ROM. We will need these files in the same folder: FLASH.BIN.HEADER, flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB, IMGFS.BIN.
1. You will need to repack imgfs first. using "imgfsfromdump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin", you get the new imgfs-new.bin.
2. assuming you already modified xip.bin, it should be in name xip-new.bin. Using "osnbtool -c flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip-new.bin"
3. "osnbtool -c flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW 2 imgfs-new.bin", repacking imgfs
4. "osnbtool -extra flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW"
5. "osnbtool -2bin flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW.EXA 0x01030200 -cutheader", remember when we first unpack FLASH.BIN? There's a starting address which we must use here.
6. "copy/b/y flash.bin.Header+flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW.EXA.BIN os-new.nb0"
7. "p835abisplit2 /B G5.EXE" ---> you must have the original ROM G5.exe. Output is a file named "out.exe". This is a USB flash file. For me, I'd prefer a card flashing ABI file. Which I felt safer. For generating ABI file, you will need to download a flashable ABI file, rename to G5.abi and run this command "p835abisplit2 /B G5.ABI". You will get "OUT.ABI". Rename to G5_ALL_WWE.ABI to flash with an SD card.
Btw, all these are not my original works, credits to DA_G for his ROMs and guides, BEPE and others for their great tools, zhaochengw: most of the guides above is from him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[16-12-09]
SYS modification:
to upgrade a sys, all you need from original ROM is .ROM, .VM and all OEMxxxxx folders. (that's all i know of). All other folders are to be deleted and replaced with folders from new builds. After you work out a complete SYS, use G'reloc to relocate address. I've tried using WMreloc, but everytime i tried doesnt boot. I'm not sure what caused the problem but at least G'reloc worked. There might be some hiccups when using G'reloc, you'll have to google abit on that. If you encountered a problem saying that there's not enough memory on slot0, try remove some of the removable directories such as office or onenote.
Once you successfully relocated, you will have to use BuildOS to pack it back. You might encounter problems like duplicated files, just delete the one not from OEM folders. after you're done, copy the DUMP folder from TEMP directory and use imgfsfromdump(step1 from second part above).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[19-12-09]
I'm not going to cover xip.bin porting, but i'll mention here that you will need to use xipport to manually port xip for this rom. I've tried some kitchen tools but none working. It's the same for sys porting too, you have to manually replace the files and/or change REG. After which you'll use BUILDOS to build it. Other than that, you'll need an OEM sys/xip. I'ved used D_GA's 28002 and found that his package works pretty well. You can find it here.

I'll upload some related tools together so you'll wont have to look everywhere. You can find the upload together with the ROM downloads area.

As I understand it, not only does it make a module into a file, it makes that file use the memory available in SLOT 0 in the ROM. Modules use SLOT 1 memory be default, so I think the browsing folders have issues accessing memory across the two slots
Have a read at Da_G's thread & the Native Kernel post - he explains it a lot better than I do
Good job on the ROM!

ok, now the browser problem and garmin problem solved. although not really sure what i did that made it worked. Now i'm facing another problem, asus utilities, i.e. autorotate can only work once, and then it stoped working the next time ie starts. Autocleaner does not work at all. Any ideas?
Is there anyone testing my rom anyway?

I have test your ROM.It is very good.Sometimes any programs can be down.

Hi Blue00mountain
Thanks for your hard work, downloading.... hunger for P835 rom,
Read form other thread and noted that WM6.5.3 build 28002 was not as stable and fast as 28003 or later, would you consider to move on to newer version, thanks so much in advance.

There's quite some information on the web regarding xip porting. I felt that XIP is quite straight forward, not much problem. The problem I felt so far lies in SYS porting, and a chance to get a good OEM unmodified rom.
And there isnt any emulator to test rom. YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH INTO PHONE TO TRY IT OUT. However, this phone has a nice bootloader, which it checks for rom integrity before flashing. if you rom is incorrect, it doesnt allow to flash at all. Basically it is quite safe unless you messed something other than xip sys itself.

Thx blue!
anyway,the solution of unpack and repack P835 ROM may have another way:
follow steps are from hdubli,and hope can help everyone to Cooking ROMs!

Processing "SYS" as module
then error message pop up "ImgfsFromDump.exe has stopped working"
Have you ever got this error? Did I missing something here, please help, thanks.

i found there's some problems when u use the imgfsfromdump tool to make imgfs-new.bin
imgfsfromdump can't proceed the SYS folder,it can only deal with original "DUMP" folder
that means,when u dumped out the "DUMP" folder and use pkgtool(or packagebuilder) proceed it into models(SYS、OEM...ETC),u have to use BuildOS.exe rebuild all the files in SYS OEM.the result of BuildOS's rebuild just like the original "DUMP" folder.then u can use imgfsfromdump to make a imgfs-new.bin
Sorry about my poor English...
well,i still try to show u the way i repack imgfs.bin wihtout change anything.
1st, get the imgfs.bin
2nd,use imgfstodump and get the "dump" folder
3rd,use imgfsfromdmp directly,i get the imgfs-new.bin

ic, but i find that the xip size should be ~3200kb, is it just omit it during compling the xip?
In addition, do you mean it is just simply that just using Da_G's build with Da_G's MSXIPKernel + initflashfiles.dat and original P835 OEMXIPKERNEL is ok?
Sorry for my question because I know less on the OS complie, thanks

i don't think the XIP size should be 3200kb,anyway,in the Traditional Chinese version Rom,the size of XIP is more than 4200kb.

based on my experience, you dont need to have an exact same size for xip.bin. not sure if it will cause any problem but It will start anyway.
regarding your repacking dump question, the proper sequence i think is:
imgfstodump-->packagebuilder-->greloc-->buildos-->imgfsfromdump = imgfs-new.bin

Since I saw the p835abisplit2 creator starkwong said that (若要修改 XIP，請確保重新嵌入 nb0 前的 XIP 大小是跟原來的相同，否則刷機後會開機失敗)
-> if modifying XIP, please ensure the re-embedding nb0 XIP size is same as original XIP size, otherwise it may cause turn-on (mobile) failure after flashing.
If it is ok, that's great

New Asus/Garmin Asus abi ROM tool for full ROM customization!

I made a tool p835abisplit2 previously for ROM rebuilding, however that tool only fully works for P565 and earlier devices, which has many limitations for P835 and newer devices. So now I rewrite it to have full functions!
Applicable Devices:
- Asus P835
- Garmin Asus M20, M10
Usage:
- Decompiling ROM
1. p835abisplit3 <abi/exe file>
2. If input is an exe file, then a decrypted abi file will be extracted, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)
3. 13 files are extracted, content on each file is explained in their file names
3.1 txt file is the partition definition, you can customize the abi by editing this file
3.2 OS file is in B000FF format. Use osnbtool -sp twice to get a correct nb file
3.3 EXTROM is a standard FAT Image, you can open and modify directly with WinImage
- Rebuilding ROM
1. Modify txt file as you need (Optional)
2. Rename updated file to their original names
2.1 For building OS file, use osnbtool -extra os.nb 0x8 and osnbtool -2bin -CutHeader
3. p835abisplit3 /b <abi/exe file>
4. out.abi is created, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)
5. If input file is an exe file, out.enc (Encrypted abi) and out.exe (Flash utility with updated ROM and region patch)
- Warning
1. This tool now is too powerful that you can easily brick your device if you modify the txt file incorrectly, so take care! (However it is proved to work by hdubli)
2. This tool is checked to create identical abi file if you rebuild without touching anything. If this is not the case with your base ROM, don't continue cooking and let me know!
** Please note that if you modify the partition layout, the length of text must be < 24 bytes **
If this post is left too long without updates, you can check new versions at http://www.studiokuma.com/tools/?section=misc-e

Great job, man!
If you can update the tool for extracting the Acer ROMs that can be used for extracting NeoTouch S200's ROMs of version 3.xxx, that'll be excellent!!!

EXTROM from P835
Great tool, but there is still one backlog. As tool still cant directly extract extrom resp.ASUS_ROM from P835 (its working pretty well with M10,M20,P565). Even at the end is extrom located in os.nb0. After such impementation it will be perfect tool

No, don't trust the tools reports the FATFS at last partition of os.nb0. It is a dummy partition in all new ROMs from any vendor.
As I can tell from the G5 abi, there is no extrom in it.

EXTROM from P835
You are partially right as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles doesnt contains any usual ext partition.
But how you explain that standard EXTROM files are parts of OS.NB0 ?
Isnt so usual that those EXT files are part of main image. These are typical extrom file, see what I extracted :
P835 is bit specific, as not contains just dummy file for extrom package.
And one more question regarding P835, as you probably know there is problem with relatively small ROM space.
Even I removed lot of crap files, ROM image is still showing same size. Pdocread is showing total 200MB on DSK1.
But available is only 97.18MB.

asus m20 cook rom
Thanks for your good tool, I am now cooking a rom of asus m20 and I have been successed to work out a file called "flash.bin" final, would you please tell me how to do to make it change to say "m20.exe". Or do you have any suggestion eg. use bootloader. Thank you very much. I really need your help.

Firstly, your ROM needs to be extracted by a exe file instead of abi file first.
When you need to build exe file, use the /b switch.
Extract: p835abisplit3 xyz.exe
Build: p835abisplit3 /b xyz.exe
Then out.exe will be the new flash utility with your changes and region lock patched.

Thanks for your answer, I still meet problem even I use your method, so let me give more detail as follow:
1. I have split the xyz.exe with your tool and a xyz.abi and 13 more files extracted.
2. And I also use some kitchen to make a new rom file called flash.bin.
3. I rename "flash.bin" to "Os.bin" (one of the 13 files)
4. Lastly, I follow your instruction to build ie. p835abispilt3 /b xyz.exe, a out.abi will come out
So, how should I do to change this "flash.bin" to become the xyz.exe for flashing. Your help should be most appreiate. Thanks

my asus m20 device is bricked, any idea? Please help

Jtag
Does anyone have experience with jtag on P835 ?
Or is there any other way how to recover dead bootloader on MSM Asus devices ?

i can't open p835abisplit3.exe
how can i open

M930
Hi Stark Wong,
please could you modify p835abisplit3.exe in order to correctly work with M930 ?
See error message :

I have updated the tool to support longer string, that should fix your issue.
Download it in first post.
To others: You must have the original EXE to form output exe. Just pass the EXE when building, it will read the new ABI and generate a new EXE file. You can't generate EXE when you only get the ABI file.

Thanks
Thanks a lot for fix.
Note that even you will incorretly use this tool, nearly always is way how to recover.
