I've searched both the forums and google, but can't find an answer to my question. Can someone quickly explain what the nb0.extra and nb0.header portions of a ROM contain?
I'm trying to create a flashable ROM from a dump, but I don't have an existing template to work off of (Samsung SCH-i760). I'm hoping it is similar to the SCH-i730 or the SGH-i780, but I'm not sure what I need to be looking out for. I have successfully disassembled the bootloader and confirmed the phone is looking for an unsigned bin image.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sorry for the newb question guys. Yes i have used the search but it doesn't seem to be specific to excaliburs and I perfer not to brick my phone.
I'm looking for a way to dump my rom, and use it to flash another persons phone. He saw how I have mine and is eager to clone it. Which I have no issue with, as i'm just beginning my customization. I perfer not to start from the beginning with his, as I have with mine. It has taken alot of time and learning, and I figured there is a simple way to just dump the rom and flash his with all the currect apps I have installed and such. Any point in the right direction will help, and thanks in advance.

Go to the Excalibur Wiki... (or click here)
on the root of your phone should be the bkondisk.exe file already, but if not there is a DL link there i believe. That will get you to DUMP YOUR ROM,
however, i think there is a smarter way.
1)Download the ROM you are using from the XDA Site
2)Using a backup too like Sprite Backup or other similar
2b)Tell it to backup all your files, and your registry...EVERYTHING
3)It should have created an executable file now...
4)Flash your friends phone with the ROM you downloaded
5)Put the EXE Backup on your friends memory card and run it...it should replace everything on the phone as if it were a clone of yours..
*REMEMBER, the ROMS MUST BE THE EXACT SAME, or else you could get serious glitches....*
*If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to ask or check out the Unbricking Tut*
Hope this helps you out
Ty sir. I will give this a try.
Hello everybody,
I already posted this question here because i don't know which is the correct place. If I mistake I apologize.
However,
Just took back my dhd from assistance I notice it had no gps fix.
I checked gps.conf and it is setted to asia.pool.ntp.org, while I'm in europe.
I searched on the forum to find a way to root the phone and modify this file but i wasn't able to do it.
I've the last OTA firmawre 2.50 on Android 2.3.3 and have some questions about this iussue:
1. Can I apply the patch I found here [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252011&highlight=gps.conf"] without doing downgrade?
2. If yes, how to install CWM on DHD? Did I fail because i copy .zip file in a not empty sd storage?
I really will appreciate someone's help because i travel every day for wark and really need Gps working.
Thanks to everybody.
Regards
Hey guys, on the Forums
As maybe some of you know, I'm hosting/creating a program, that provides the easiest ways of flashing/ rooting your GNex.
I'm currently making a new all-in-one solution. But for this, I need to know, where the recovery.img file is stored, in the phone's ROM.
Could someone please tell me, where it is stored? It is needed, desperatly... AND PLEASE, NO N00BS!!!!!

it's not part of the rom... have a look at the factory images to get an idea http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
IT may not be part, of the ROM. But it should still locatable, in the EXT or file system. Otherwise, apps, like ROM Manager, wouldn't be able to flash the image, or back it up. If you know, what I mean. But, if no other answers, are present. I shall stick to your's and I will carry on flashing via fastboot mode.
Thanks for the answer though, it is much appreciated.

As was mentioned, it is not part of the ROM. It is located here:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery
It is kinda surprising that you didn't know that give you are writing programs for flashing.

Yes, I am making an app, but for Windows, not for Android. And this application, is using both: the ADB and fastboot
That's why I was asking, becuase then, I could flash the image permanantly, via ADB. But this will now come in the next update, because, before I got your answer, I already published it... ^^
Pls help. Lots of NOOB questions as I learn about my Android phone.
1) I have done a backup of my phone using ClockWorkMod ver.6.0.3.0, but I am concerned that the generated .tar file does not have anything in it. Is that correct? The phone is new. I have attached an image for whoever to have a look at.
2) I am trying to perform a mdsum5 check. I have read tutorials (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939007) and I have looked at Youtube videos, but I still don't get it. I have downloaded the md5.exe. ClockWorkMod generated a nandroid.md5. Does it contain the number that I am looking for?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

So, I have had to restore my phone, since this posting. I used ClockWorkMod to restore and it worked like a charm. However, I still need help with issue #2. Any ideas?
