WM7Full.bin taken apart..

If anybody is interested in grabbing the ringtones/wallpaper/strange sample icons from WM7, it's possible to reverse engineer the BIN file to get at the raw files that make up WM7.
Happy to post steps if anybody wants to get at this stuff, if not please see wallpapers and ringtones attached to this post. Hopefully helpful to somebody out there.

thanks... please post how to extract the bin for noobs!

Of course... you need:
- The BIN file. In this case I used WM7Full.bin available from several sites
- viewbin.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
- cvrtbin.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
- dumprom.exe from Microsoft Platform SDK
You may also be able to find these utilities using Google.
Use viewbin.exe to analyse the file:
viewbin.exe -t wm7full.bin
You'll see an image start and length. Start was 0x81000000 with length 0x0496A294 for the specific file I used. Plug these values into cvrtbin.exe:
cvrtbin.exe -r -a 0x81000000 -l 0x0496A294 -w 32 wm7full.bin
(obviously substituting the -a and -l value for those obtained from viewbin. Leave -w as 32)
This will produce wm7full.nb0. Plug this file into dumprom.exe:
dumprom.exe -d c:\output wm7full.nb0.
And there you have it, the files will be chucked into c:\output in their entirety.

Thanks for this one, some good sounds inside

I can't find viewbin.exe, cvrtbin.exe, and dumprom.exe anywhere, can someone post a link?
EDIT: Or, better yet, could someone just upload the dump?
EDIT 2: Okay, I found the tools, but the dump didn't work. Any suggestions?

Could you provide details of the error that you're seeing please?
To answer your other questions, I'm not planning to upload the whole dump as it's copyright and against the forum rules. Same goes for the tools, they're part of the Platform Builder SDK.

Thank you very much

Not to be a buzzkill, but these are the same ringtones and sounds from 6.1/6.5
Though I missed flamenco fire, thanks for bringing it back

LOL.. I didn't try 6.1/6.5, just saw the BIN file screaming to be taken apart! Flamenco Fire ... hmm interesting

There is no error message; I run the tools exactly as described, which works, but when I look for "C:\output", I can't find it. Otherwise everything is fine.

You will need to substitute c:\output for a directory of your choice that exists on your system. Please also ensure that you are using the offset and length appropriate to the bin file you are using.

as akersj says above... you need to create the folder c:\output first or use another folder that already exists. The tools will not create a new directory for you.

Oh, I see now! I can't believe I didn't try that!
Well, anyway, this is pretty interesting. Especialy files like 'FileBrowser.exe,' FileBrowserCM.dll,'and 'NativeInstallerHost.exe' could be of some great use to us.

Odexing problem - need technical help!!!

Hi all
Just need a little technical help here
I am making a script to odex a ROM
Currently the only way of odexing a ROM is by doing it on the phone (pushing the files to the phone and executing them there)
I have made a script which will extract a ROM to a folder, odex it, and let you compress/sign/flash it.
The problem :
It seems that deoxpt-wrapper (the module which odexes the files) is a binary file and therefore can not be executed. I assume only the Android OS can use this module which is why it can not be done on computer? Does this mean that odexing can only be done on a phone?
This is the code I am having trouble with:
Code:
~/resources/dexopt-wrapper $filename `echo $filename | sed 's/\(.*\.\)apk/\1odex/'`
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

polite bump

thanks for the tip, i searched for it in google, but only found errors with other combinations..
do i need to manually deodex each file, setting different bootclasspaths for every file manually?
or is there some workaround which lets me set the right files for all deodexing files..
would be very thankful for any more advices.. (also want to share the deodexed files after finishing)
greets,cV

Apktool error when compiling

I issue the following command to decompile the apk:
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
I make a the following edits in the file res/values/dimens.xml:
Code:
<dimen name="thumbnail_height">[COLOR="Red"]240.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
<dimen name="thumbnail_width">[COLOR="Red"]151.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
I issue the following command to recompile the apk:
Code:
apktool b framework-res.apk
Then I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.PathN
otExist: apktool.yml

Other information:

Tool used: Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
Someone please help. This is really getting on my nerves. Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry guys!
I just fixed it.
Instead of issuing the command:
Code:
apktool b framework-res.apk
I issued:
Code:
apktool b framework-res
All I had to do do was remove apk from the command.
It ended up in the folder named dist.
I'll leave this thread so it can help others.

I'm having the exact same problem at the moment while trying to edit the Androidmanifest.xml file.
I'll try this solution now and edit this post saying whether it works for me or not :thumbup:
Edit: This did work for me :thumbup: However I then came across another error (which I think was due to how I modified the APK)
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

In fact, if you read the error carefully, you see that a file is missing : apktool.yml. This file is created by apktool each time you decompile an apk. It contains the Android version, the framework path, etc... But if you have a wrong framework installed, apktool will stop and won't create this file, so it won't be able to read the correct informations to recompile
Most of the errors with apktool come with a wrong use, a wrong version or something of that type, very few of them come from a problem of compilator (unless you mod a lot the smali files and all).

No. The apktool file was missing because I tried to compile the apk within itself. The apktool file wasn't originally in the apk. Instead of compiling from the original apk you need to compile from the folder which contains apktool.yml. That's why I took the .apk extension out of the command.
