The Program TyphoonNbfTool with opened by code -for new headline necessary to change the program.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nbftools/TyphoonNbfTool/
Here, there is programmers who can do this correct ?
You may decode the headline for (Wizard 800Í byte) for study -using program cpuHdrDec.exe (many thanks Onk for help).
Source code is enclosed.
Use : cpuHdrDec.exe <file.nbf>decode_header_outfile

So what do this mean?......can we modify/add or change the basic applicatios between?...

I have also seen headers of size 0x400.
not sure if it is correct, but i assume that the byte at 0xf8 functions like a header version.
i made a new version of typhoonnbfdecode.pl that understands the larger headers.
another change is that in the latest wizard rom, there are 2 copies of the spl and ipl, one for the 'g3' model, one for the 'g4' model.
willem

Thank you itsme -I converted perl in exe file .
hdubli cpuHdrDec.exe -this only for study of the headline

i found what the 'g4' and 'g3' model means, it refers to the type of 'disk-on-chip' used.
willem

this refers to type DOC - G4 or G3?

Hi Willem!
This code can extract modules fine. But there is still poblem with coding to .nbf and sd image.. Can you add keys for Wizard?

the wizard uses the same keys as tornado / charmer / prodigy.
encoding the larger headers i still have to do. ... when i find the time and need to do so.

Stranger yet Prophet Doesn't list the contents of the nbf in the header.
Also the number of sections returns as 0
From analysing RUU output I've found this nk.nbf has the following sections:

Bye,

EDIT: Added code section formatting

Another tidbit of info.
The header That I listed in the previous post goes from 0x0000 to 0x7FF. The rom sections follow, having no spacing between them...
Hipothesis:
The Sections offsets are hardcoded in the RUUUpdate now...
Couldn't find any info of them though...
Hipothesis wrong... The section still exists
I'm trying to decode it right now...
Bye now,
Ricardo

Checked the RuuUpdateUtil Header decoding:
The Decoding table values are the same from both
After debugging a RuuUpdateUtil header decode:
The decoding from itsme script is equivalent to the one on this "New" header type file

RIP: HTC Prophet no. 1... You'll be missed

Hehe... I'm a jackass...

Here you go! A prophet NBF decoded!
Why are there 2 SPL's? and 2 IPL's?

I think this pertains to DOC -see above. Depending on type DOC is used or one or other SPL IPL.
You may look initial KITL output.

Request if someone can inform as how to do the KITL Debugging and see the Log....Is this possible in Wizard?

This it is necessary to ask besidebuzz_lightyear

Hi there. Sorry for pulling out this old thread. Im making a flash tool for prophet, and didn't know about this thread, nor the programs you guys use. So i found out myself how to decrypt and use the header (0x800), and found about about the sections and everything.
But i still have one question about this: There are 2 SPL and sometimes 2 IPLs in the Header/ROM. How do i know which one goes to which phone? So far i've read its dependant on the DOC, and if its a G3 or a G4. But how do i query the phone, so that i can interprid which DOC it has? and how do i know which SPL goes with the DOC then?
Hope someone can help me with this.

HOW-TO Flash the Tattoo

After fighting versus the Tattoo for 2 hours I have finally flashed the device successfully.
Since there is not a proper thread containing the exact procedure for this device I'm going to explain it a little bit in detail, specially based on this device different things that doesn't have other android phones:
1. First we need to find a micro SD, normally this device comes with a 2gb Sandisk micro SD, this will be fine.
2. We need to format the microSD to FAT32, so remember to save your files before going on.
3. After the format, we need to create a GoldCard with this SD Card. Basically this is a "transformation procedure". You can find the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683 but I'm going to explain it based on Tattoo
Creating the Gold Card:
4. We need the android-sdk tools, we can find them here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html download them, and unzip in a folder maybe in C:\androidtools
5. Go the the Command line (Start->Execute->write cmd and OK), and there you should find where you unzip the android-sdk tools, example cd c:\androidtools\tools
6. Run this command "adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid" if you had the microSD in the drive you will find a long number like:
532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
7. Go to this page to reverse it: http://hexrev.soaa.me/ and copy the code reversed:
In our example it will be: 00544d5107943247039c7d22bd002653
8. Go to this page to generate your GoldCard image: http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
And put your reversed number and you email. You will receive an email with a file called "goldcard.img"
9. Now you need an Hex editor like HXD. Download it from: http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352_4-10891068.html?tag=mncol
10. Exactly the same as the instructions I pasted above:
11. Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program. (make sure you use "Run as Administrator" under Vista and win 7)
12. Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK. (BEWARE, MUST BE UNDER PHYSICAL DISK NOT LOGICAL DISK, THIS MISTAKE MADE ME BIG PROBLEMS)
13. Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
14. Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
15. Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset (line) 00000000 till offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
16. Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
------------
17. Now with the gold card created (the microSD transformed) we must reboot the HTC Tattoo. When we press the "reboot" button we must press nearly at the same time the POWER OFF and VOLUME DOWN buttons at the SAME TIME!!!! He will enter a new menu called HBOOT
18. We press back button to go to fastboot USB mode
19. Now we have to start the flashing utility for example: http://rapidshare.com/files/292517090/RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
This is done the 19th Decembre 2009, but maybe on the future there will be newer flash releases so this file will be replaced for the newer one.
19.1 If we get either Error 170 or 171 in the flashing process follow this other guide to solve this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646663
20. The Flash will start we must wait, its better to do this process with 100% battery left
21. After 10 minutes, the flash will be done, and the HTC will reboot automatically with the Flashing done and everything OK!

This is for all brand of HTC Tattoo? or only Orange?

can get root?

I have successfully flashed my tattoo with your tutorial but still can't use my Wind (italian) sim. At every roboot it ask me the unlock code, says "network succesful unlocked" and after it continue to say "unlocking sim card", but it never stops!!
The data of my phone are those:
HBOOT-0.52.0001
MICROP-0203
RADIO-3.35.07.20
What can I do??

Tony2k do you have your simlock unlock code? Or did you just flash your rom hoping for the simlock to go away?

I have bought the unlock code but the problem it's that I can enter another code, like 12345678, and have always the message "network unlocked successful" and after it continue to say "unlocking sim card", exactly like with code that I have bought.

Well Tony I am sorry but I cant help you here. I dont know whats wrong. I know that you have few trials to enter the simlock unlock code and that after exceeding these attempts you will have to remove the simlock via USB cable (I dont know which software to use). What you can try is using a turbo sim that you can get off ebay. I dont give you my word that it will work, but I have seen one or two people saying that it worked with the tattoo locked to orange uk. If ever you decide to try using the turbo sim, let me know if it bypasses the simlock on the tattoo.
Good luck man.

Great work MiSSigNNo.... u managed to carry out this impossible work as of now with success....
i have few questions to ask you. what made you flash your tattoo???
what advantage do you have at present over the previous ROM???
have u got into superuser mode with this procedure???
i am sure we all would like to know answers for these from you.... please be kind enough to reply to my post....

Manuvaidya:
1. To remove simlock successfully on orange uk htc tattoo, you are forced to flash the rom
2. If you were on orange uk, you will have an android with all the software that orange removed and it will be debranded. And knowing that it can be flashed this will encourage ppl to cook roms.
3. Unfortunately there is no way yet to get root access on the tattoo
Hope this helps you out mate

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No advantages actually, simply I hate much the mobile-branded roms. Also I tried my sim before I flashed to enter the unlock code and nothing happened, but after, I tried and then it asked me for the unlock code and I could manage to make it successfully.
I don't have the root-superuser mode. I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities with that, but we must look forward on finding the method to make it.
By the way In my "experience" with past branded-roms, they used to be slower since they had plenty of ****ty apps of the brand to make you spend money, and waste unnecesarily memory from the device, this is why the first two things I do everytime I buy an HTC is to flash to default rom and unlock them Since it was more difficult than other times with WM I decided to make this mini-guide, to help others make it easier.

Hi Guys,
I got to the last stage of this walkthrough and when i run the exe for the ROM i get an error 170 on the USB cable. Do you have any ideas what this could be?
Thanks
James

I got to the last stage of this walkthrough and when i run the exe for the ROM i get an error 170 on the USB cable. Do you have any ideas what this could be?
Thanks
James

You didn't make the goldcard correctly. start from the beginning on the goldcard creation. to know if gold card is well created when entering hboot, press the unlock button (call button if i can remember) and there you will se a green message like "key is OK" if not well made there will be a message in red saying "key error" or something like that

Thanks for that guys, still no luck though . I think I might be doing something wrong so here are the results i get as i go along.

I keep getting the same results over and over again so I think I might be going wrong somewhere... Any more ideas?

I'm afraid I'm stuck near the very beginning.
When I navigate to the sdk tools folder and run the command, I get the following:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm running Win 7 x64 and trying to flash a Vodafone branded HTC (build number is apparently "1.67.161.5 CL#74011 release-keys").
Edit: I did format the card to FAT32 like you said.

I found that you need the andriod drivers installed for adb shell to work, if you run SDK setup in the andriod sdk folder and install the driver component, then point the device in device manager towards the new downloaded folder, should be called usb_driver. Hope that helps

Well I tried opening SDK Setup but all that happened was a command prompt window just appeared and then disappeared almost instantly (with Windows then complaining that the program might not have installed correctly). I also tried running it as administrator but got the same result. And nothing happens when I try opening it with cmd.

I also tried a couple of other cards, one broke the card and hboot was really unresponsive. The first card did the same sort of thing, CID error or similar

Success!
I read through this guide about getting adb to work, replaced the current driver with the one linked to there and then also realised that you couldn't get adb to work while the phone was in 'Disk Drive' mode (what a n00b I am). The only way I could get into 'USB Debugging' was by choosing 'HTC Sync' on the phone (but not actually have HTC Sync open on my PC). Once I did that, adb worked properly.
I'm guessing my mistake was just not having the phone in 'USB Debugging', so the old driver would probably have worked as well but at this point I don't really care.
Anyway, I managed to follow the rest of your guide just fine, MiSSigNNo, and it worked! Though I think maybe you should rewrite point number 17 in your original post; from the way you worded it, I thought there was an actual reboot button, different from the power button. A better wording would be something like: "Switch the phone off. Press the Power button to switch it back on but immediately hold down the Volume Down button after pressing the Power button until the HBoot menu appears (at which point you can let go of Volume Down)"
Otherwise I have no complaints, and I cannot thank you enough for posting the guide. It's so nice to be able to get rid of network branding (even if it was only slight in the case of Vodafone), and have a newer version of the system!
Do you know where we can keep track of the WWE Flash releases? It'd be nice to stay up to date I guess.
Edit: lol silly me, wasn't actually checking the rest of the forum so didn't see the thread on WWE ROM links.

what brand of sd card did you use? It's just that i've read somewhere that sandisk (the one i have) doesnt work as a goldcard. Tried it with one that didnt have a brand on it and that didnt work either

I used a SanDisk (it's the 2GB card that came with the phone) so it can't be true that all SanDisk cards don't work. Not that I know much about these things.

Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 Bootloop

Hello.
Today I tried rooting and flashing a custom rom to my smartphone. The rooting process was completed normally, superuser was up etc. Installed Rom Manager but didn't flash CWM from there because I couldn't find my device name so I found it independently from here. Afterwards I tried flashing a CM 10.1 rom (Android 4.2.1), so I booted into recovery. Had a problem with backing up my rom so I proceeded (although I have a backup of my files from Titanium). Wiped data/cache and flashed the rom but then I forgot to REwipe data/cache and rebooted, resulting into a bootloop, with the samsung logo coming up, then the samsung galaxy animation, then repeat. Also, I could not enter recovery mode to wipe, because even after pressing the button combo the phone would skip to the samsung boot screen.
After that I tried multiple things:
1.Flashed CWM through Odin 4.38 independently. (File obtained from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190)
2.Flashed Stock Froyo rom. (File obtained from http://samsunggalaxyreview2.blogspot.gr/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-original.html)
3.Flashed Stock Gingerbread rom (File obtained from http://yagyagaire.blogspot.gr/2011/08/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-popmini-gts5570.html#.UYmCjqJA3RM)
After Googling my problem and searching the forums I saw that most people got their issue fixed by either entering recovery (something I can't do), or flashing a different rom (which I did but to no avail).
So now I'm stuck with a device unable to fully boot successfully but with a working Download mode (the phone is accepted by Odin).
I don't know if this is what "bricking" is called but I definitely need help, either by a tutorial, link, instructions, etc. Anything you provide will be helping.
Also: it may sound stupid but is there a difference between s5570 and GT-s5570? If yes then probably the mistake is on my part and I'm sorry for making this thread.
Thank you very much.
Alexziab
EDIT: My initial stock version was Froyo 2.2.1

The first mistake you do is, you flashed Froyo over Gingerbread. Which NOT recommended.
Second, you flashed CM10.1 in stock recovery, another NOT recommended.
Third, GT-S5570 is S5570.
Fourth, that's not bootloop, that's Softbrick. Bootloop is looping in bootscreen, NOT bootsplash.

Reply
I see. Thank you for replying. Do you know any way to fix this problem?
EDIT: CM 10.1 was flashed after flashing the CWM recovery for Froyo 2.2.1, not stock recovery.

You see, I originally had Froyo. Flashed CWM on it through a thread here on xda (link above) then flashed 10.1.
Gingerbread was flashed later, in an attempt to recover the phone.

recovery problem with mini 2
I have a problem with GALAXY MINI 2, stock rom, stock kernel, rooted, TWRP recovery
I only tried CWM and TWRP, when I reboot into recovery from RomManager or QuickBoot I cannot reboot system, allways reboots into recovery, only other things that let's me do is power off and bootloader, is this a bug from something in stock kernel or something else ? for the moment I do not wish to flash something else in it
only thing that I could do to resolve this problem is to reflash recovery and autoboot from odin, all works ok now beside booting into recovery other way than power off and using hard keys, and it is damn hard to keep pressed that combination, and 90% from tryes I get power off, it shows TWRP screen and powers off
any ideas ?

Can't I fix it by myself? My warranty has expired since 2012 so they will probably charge to fix it.

No, you can't.

Fixed!
Followed this tutorial here on youtube: /watch?v=dU80AYnzf6g
After following the instructions, the phone finally booted! Language was set to (probably) russian but switched it to english and now I have a normally working (for now) phone! I don't see any problems with it! I guess the problem is solved. Thank you all for your support in any way!
Sorry for dodging the "link posting" rule that says that I should make 10 posts before posting a link. I have no intention to spam or anything, hope you understand.

AlexZiab if you don't now what you are doing just don't do it , buy a new phone and be careful next time

You know what. I have flashed about 30 phones or more but It never happened to me that phone was stuck at bootloop until this phone. AlexZiab made a mistake but we all do mistakes sometimes so I do and you will aswell. He just asked for help. If you dont have any answer you should just be quiet and let somebody else to help. Your post looks like AlexZiab is some stupid guy or whatever. Nobody is so smart as you are probably :laugh: . If he dont made that mistake he will not know next time. We are all learning every day. If we dont do mistakes we will be stupid, You know.

Boot-Loop resurrection - I am stucked
Hi All,
I've a S5570, and seems soft bricked after some
- probably - mistyped dd.
Now it is in boot-loop. . .
I can enter DM but stock ROM-s won't help.

Hi All,
I've a S5570, and seems soft bricked after some

Now it is in boot-loop. . .
I can enter DM but stock ROM-s won't help.
I've managed to get into this baby using openocd
but stucked at identifying the OneNAND flash on-board.

I am deeply sorry for my behavior, and even more sorry that you misunderstood me.
You are in the right section. When I said this isn't a Q&A thread I meant it wasn't from the likes of this, meaning you post a question and you get an answer. But here you posted your question on another person's thread. This thread was created to by him to help him solve his problem by anyone who knows what that specific problem is. And you just walk right in here and start asking what's wrong with your device. Having a separate thread for your problem is mandatory in a case like this.
Second, I am not a developer. Am trying though. So you don't have to take my word for it, since obviously I have no right of telling what's wrong or what's right since I've never developed anything, right? Here is the same meaning in a different sentence by a person who is experienced here.

[DISSCUSION]Unofficial Bootloader Unlock

Hey guys, Curiosity got the better of me and I did some research into unlocking the bootloader when it says no.
I remember from the Xperia U forums that XperianPro was looking at this and got people to back up there ta partition and view it in notepad++, this is shown in a hexadecimal format which is difficult to edit.
I took a new approach and decided to use the adb command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/ta.img
to get a .img of the ta partition which is loaded to mmcblk0p1 (on the T anyway)
when I opened this in notepad++ I found a whole lot more of human readable stuff in the ta partition.
I did find
Code:
ROOTING_ALLOWED="0"
As I recall. from XperianPros thread they did see this, and AFAIK some tried changing it to 1 and it caused a hard brick. but from using my method I think I found something else that will lead to the solution.
I found a Signature Value section
Code:
<SignatureValue>Uf7ztzGcQiKz5ivqLEG0Emxhh/9L0C0doeq1HlJIIamuyLiU8kmHxfxytPlzCVYC68jz0WWdRVsL
jaN62bvED6ZmUDETiUQa/mlytNFv2n8Ffv7ihXMay9uebxnme77JzThpWOrSXGP1odiMhvgft3xq

U6ejjC4eBgORvdmMddekkSd5JMMZ4ki6CBWU8SPK7eAebxUUXs1vT19gzjEIxiVt3fRnw680D4Fv
5zNB7Wy++y1dcqYyBEPEq9jVGwamcintj/fI9A==</SignatureValue>
I believe this is the signature of the file and changing the value of rooting allowed to 1 would obviously change the signature of the file, and I don't think they recalculated a signature in the other thread. from what I can gather from my ta.img is that it uses a sha1 key verification method (I think)
Sooooo.... Any help or insight would be great
I'm going to keep looking at this for the next few days and see what I find.
I don't think this has been covered regarding looking into an unofficial unlock, If it has then I must have missed it haha, and I'm probably barking mad. I also wanted to keep this separate from the bounty thread as that's about a bounty

If I remember correctly, however I may be wrong, but that signature is an SHA hashed version of the unlock code provided by Sony. Not sure which version of SHA, also may be salted. But do check/find out more, I may be wrong.

Thanks for looking into this for us people not allowed to unlock our bootloaders!
I believe if u crack this the bounty would rightfully be yours? I certainly would gladly give you my donation if you crack it.
Good luck

Very intresting thread. I hope this is the right way to unlock bootloader even for those who can't.

No.
This has been tried before and it results in a hard brick.
Simply changing a value from 0 to 1 is way to simple.

Well, best of luck with that

On the one hand, bear in mind that kexec is being developed (on and off development, really). I'd suggest that you get your unlock code from Sony, and the original one for the ta you got unlocked and start finding out what the various hashes of it are, might be you end up with one that matches that section, then hash your code with the same way, then do some magic the ta area
Just a thought.

Maybe simlock.ta, could be helpful.
There were some cases, when rooting allowed changed to yes after update.
It probably flashes only with the right values or what?

is it reliable?

Looks promising. But [email protected] said this is too risky. Unless someone is willing to make a sacrifice for it. But come to think of it it had sone potential for bootloaders not allowed for unlocking.

I'm down to use my prototype Xperia T LT30a as a guinea pig for this experiment, but obviously only if some advancement is made to the current theory (Signature verification relationship, etc.). If the dev is somewhat confident/comfortable, then so am I. I have my Xperia L as a backup unit if my T gets destroyed.

this is good, I'm still looking into the relationship between unlock keys, signature value and other things

Ok. I just tested one thing. The same way, I can relock bootloader, I can also reunlock bootloader, using the unlocking number from Sony in hex format.
Anyone tested to get the number from Sony site and flash it with preset.ta?
This is preset.ta for reunlocking - replace ** with hex symbols of your unlocking number
Code:
// [ReUnlock bootloader]
02
000008B2 0010 ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
This is simlock.ta, which can be theoretically renamed to preset.ta and flashed, but who knows what happens.
Weird is, that each simlock.ta has different number of symbols.

I found that they use some of these algorithms: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlsec-algorithms/ to make the ta secure.
So I'm thinking we try do it in reverse with an unlocked ta and key then we would know what to do in the correct order....? thoughts?

@peetr_
Yeah my simunlock.ta looks different, I'm confused between the connection (if any) of these.
I also have a different OP_ID="8242" to you, mine is 24, not sure of the significance of that.....
EDIT: It also seems they are using the W3 digital signature initiative: http://www.w3.org/PICS/DSig/RSA-SHA1_1_0.html

I guess that the signature is unbreakable. These signature things in TA has probably something to do with drm keys, and other similar things. System takes it from here.
I think the only way to get somewhere, is finding some workaround or hole, using sony way of changing things in TA partition. But maybe, some of these parts could be never changed. Who knows?

Well. Changing rooting status with preset.ta is nothing special. It is possible. You only need good nerves. And dump of whole 7DA adress from your TA.
I just changed 1 to 0.
Side effect is no mobile service. I guess you have to choose - unlocked bootloader without mobile service or locked bootloader with mobile service.
Changing 0 to 1 makes service available again.
As you can see, I tested it on already unlocked bootloader (locking it permanently). So I don't know if it works backwards. But I do not see any reason, why not.
You only need another tester. I did all I could.
And it would be good, if someone with unlockable bootloader dumps his 7DA before first unlock and compares it with 7DA after unlocking. Or compare with restored not unlocked TA.
And yes, with rooting allowed 0, fastboot and custom kernels are no longer working for me, even if I flash my unlocking number with preset.ta.

If changing it looses mobile service, would changing it to unlock and then restoring after bring back mobile service. Thoughts?

Yes, but you will be locked again.
Btw. if nothing, you can at least root and test things this way. I think this procedure is not for everyone, but once you make your unlock and lock ftf, you can change your device's state very easily.
Comparison between 7DA before and after first unlock would be better, just to be sure.
But if you have your TA backed up, to change it back to previous state, I think there's nothing to break.
And one more thing. It looks to me that flashmode cannot be broken. Am I right? So you can always flash something.

I seem to recall in the Xperia U forum that some bricks were made from tampering with the TA, if a bad/corrupt TA is flashed then you can't get into flashmode. That's what was established from the U forums

Notice address 0x12 and 0x13. The only values that I see changing
Relevant info I found:
https://github.com/archie9211/android_kernel_nokia_B2N/issues/1
https://github.com/derflacco/android_kernel_drg/search?q=boost_nt50356&unscoped_q=boost_nt50356
Obvioulsy I tried to manually change the values, but the address is in use.
