[Q] Converting raw BIN dump to something useful

Hi All
I've searched and not found much info on this.
I've got a dump of an HTC HD7 using the Riff box (JTAG). The file is a 512MB BIN file.
Basically I would like to be able to see the files inside it. Ideally I would like to see the files/folders/structure inside the dump. I don't know how difficult or easy this is, so forgive me if I'm asking for the impossible. But is there a way of converting the bin file to something like a cab/nbh or even the files/folders so that I can view them in explorer or some similar tool?
At the moment I'm viewing the file in a hex editor trying to carve out certain files. But I figure since the file system and structure is known on Windows Phone 7, there may be a way of converting the entire image to a better support format.
So if anyone can suggest any tools or ways of doing this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

How do you use the jtag to get a dump of it? I don't know if you can use htcrie or not (search in this forum for the tool)

I use the Riff Box which is supposed to a dump of the ROM/NAND, which it did, into a .bin file.
I've tried htcrie, but it doesn't load the bin file. I've tried looking for a tool that converts the .bin to a nbh, but found nothing so far

Where do you get a riff box from? I want to dump my rom. I would look into the Windows Mobile threads and see if there is a tutorial OR pm ansar or xboxmod and see if they can help out. If possible can you provide how to obtain an use the riff box?

nbh or nb it's for bootloader to write to nand, so it will have diff format with nand dump.

I'm not sure. I took a complete dump of the HD7 and it gave me a 512MB file in a .bin format. I believe that includes the bootloader and everything else, but I could be wrong.
I don't mind what kind of file it gets converted to, as long as I can view the files inside. Thanks

Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260757 . There's something on there that speaks about WP7 Binary tools.

I've looked on that thread and have downloaded the tools. I've also messaged the author of the tool, but not got a reply yet. It looks like the tools which does work on the raw dump/bin files are for the logo and bootloader, not the entire image.
I'm still working on it, but there seems to be a lot of info that I need to sort though.

You may use Qualcomm tool from riff plugin. It's view all partitions

Missed this one.

baseband change without flashing whole kdz

my phone somehow ended up from Taiwan to Romania and I'd like to change the baseband from 'LGE975AT-00-V10a-OPEN-TW-JAN-18-2013+0' to a more recent baseband for Romania or Europe without going all the way around and flashing the official kdz and then back to cm10.2. it would mean at least a day lost without learning anything.
I saw someone asking the same thing in the CM10.2 thread and the recommended solution didn't work for me. flashing the modem.img from http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/E975_E977_E976 seems not to change that string displayed by cm (both 10.1 and 10.2).
I spent a couple of days trying several tools to retrieve the other partition images from the official kdz in order to maybe flash some of them with dd from cwm (modem, modemst1,modemst2 at least). I managed to obtain a dz file and a dll file and inside the dz I can see the msdos fat16 header of the modem image, but I'd rather not risk cutting it by myself.
so, does anybody know some tutorial/tool that can split the e975 kdz files or if the houstonn modem.img is ok and it's just the cm display of the baseband version that is broken?

CM 10.1 read baseband version from gsm.version.baseband
It is set on /system/bin/fetch-swv by:
setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc | grep ^LG | tail -1`
You can set gsm.version.baseband manualy on /system/bin/fetch-swv (after every CM update) or try to modify misc partition.
t.

thanks a lot. I found that version string inside my misc partition. now I just need to find a way to extract that image from the official kdz. since freegee seems to modify it then there must be a way.

Here I posted the modem.img from version 10f.

There are also instructions for backing up your current baseband.
Also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566532 .
This has instructions for unpacking kdz files. I didn't try this, so I don't know if it works.

it doesn't fully work because the kdz for optimus g apparently is not the same as the kdz for the p9*0 devices. it does open the kdz but after that there is no wdb file and it doesn't recognize some magic number.
as stated above the actual version string (and maybe other things also) are on the misc partition. if your phone is onlocked with freegee, could you please upload also your misc partition?

d852 default build.prop request (Rogers 10b)

Hey Guys,
I did a stupid, and yes, I should know better, but I did not take a backup of my build.prop of my freshly rooted d852 when I edited it in Root Browser. It truncated, and lost the bottom part of the file before I noticed, and long story short, I'm missing some system sounds, and would like to know if anyone has a working d852 build.prop for a Rogers G3 Stock 4.4.2.
I downloaded the TOT file from a link in the help FAQ, and tried flashing using LG Flash tool, but it would get to a certain point, and Fail, not being able to switch to download mode, so I was not able to reflash to complete stock for whatever reason.
I'm now toying around with LG TOT Extractor, seeing if I can extract the ext4 FS files, and get a build.prop from there,
Any pointers?
Thanks
Everett

Did you try flash tool on windows 8? I Had a issue on windows 8 wich gave me the same error.

Download KDZ (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/)
Extract KDZ using this tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575)
Merge system.bin using the same tool
Extract build.prop by opening system.img using Diskinternals Linux Reader
And next time use this app instead of the stupid stock lg flash tool that requires tot files

[h815] Ripping OFF LGBloatware & Googleware from KDZ before flashing onto G4 ??

Friends !
I wanted to rip off some LG Software ( eg. Weather, Calender, Health etc) and ALL Google
Software from my KDZ File and flash this modified KDZ then onto my G4.
I´ve tested out some Custom Roms like LineageOS, Resurection and some other, all Google Free but they all drain out my Batterie fast or has some other issues.
The best working Rom for me is the Original V20g.
My G4 is rooted with Magisk. In TWRP i used GKillerExtreme.zip to eliminate all Google Stuff but after cleaning there are some Google Apps still on the Phone and can´t delete them.
So my Idea is to modify my KDZ file before flashing on the Phone.
------------------------------
I followed these Post to extract all Files from the KDZ:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666967
After extracting the *.dz file also i have a lot of *.bin files now.
So, how to working on with these *.bin Files now, how to open them, delete some Files are contained in the *.bin File and rebuild a flashable File?
Maybe there is a existing workaround here on XDA ?
Thank you all for a little Help.

Don't know how you would rebuild it - I guess you would need to use a twrp script to flash them onto the partitions
As for modifying them, depends on the bin file. For system, you can mount it on Linux to a folder
E.g.
Code:
mkdir ./extractedSystem
sudo mount ./system.bin ./extractedSystem
Then you can access it through that folder. When you are done...
Code:
sudo umount ./extractedSystem

Extract: SALT
Mount: SALT (Advanced menu)
Flash: SALT (v4)
Ah yea and btw: you can't create your own kdz. Well you can but you can't flash it as it must be signed.

Thank you very much. To mount a bin file as a Drive in Linux (FWUL ) is the Key. All other steps i will find in the next Days. Thx again.

when you use FWUL SALT is included
the flashing part of SALT is still in beta testing state thats why v4 is not (public) available yet ..

Hey.
Doesnt work for me. Getting error in Terminal.
Mount: /home/android/extractedSystem: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
So, im not so involved into Linux and have no idea whats wrong. Ive test with all .bin files but the error message pops up on every.bin file
My FWUL version is 2.7, the 8GB version on USB Stick.
Im pretty sure i did something wrong :angel:
Greetings
Ralf

Hey. My little response....
I did it and ripped off most of all the Bloatwares. Google is complete out off my Phone now and don't wont it back. It was a very hard and long process to eliminate all the Stuff. Alot of failures was coming up, alot of new image installings and start again over because i delered some Mainfeatures or essential Routines etc. OMG i don't want do this again in my life lol.
So its better to flash a google free Rom.
Okay, only my little response for this thread and Big Thanks to Steadyfast for the last Supports !

LGUP Phone Not Recognized, Need G710VM .xml files to unbrick

Good day,
Bricked my G710VM a few weeks ago and trying to get back. I know the process to get back to stock but a lot of fails extracting etc. To make it easy, lets just say I deleted all my partitions one by one and loaded new ones from the KDZ extract getting me to this point
- Latest KDZ file from lgfirmwares.com will extract with LG Firmware Extract
- DZ Extract with LG Firmware Extract WILL NOT produce good .bin files
- Hovatech extract program seems to produce DZ files with data
- LGUP will not recognize phone, even using UPPERCUT
- NO DL Mode, only EDL
- Can't find XML Files to DL online. Plan to make my own but even if I succeed, no LGUP access.
Any help is greatly appreciated. My mom has the same phone on stock I could use to pull whatever I need assuming it connects to LGUP. I have scoured this site and most that use english, I find others with the same issues but only a few seem to resolve

i have lg g710vm only this files can use, then crossflash to verizon kdz. i lost imei but i can keep using my phone only whit kdz verizo..

you need add apn for 4g....
