Many thanks to no2chem for his method, the original dev of viewimgfs and everyone else in the community devoting time, ideas, and effort towards XIP development!

Download below or on the FTP

i'd be stoked over this if i knew what xip 1 and 2 were and what they do... what are the advantages to this program?

if you were to extract the xip by hand you would find 2 different xip's. most commonly known is the xip2, where the kernel resides. as for the xip1, i dont know much about it, for some reason i think its to do with the aku updates somehow but dont quote me on that. as for the advantages, it save time by keeping ppl out of having to find and extract the xip by hand aka hex editor lookin for 320000 to 680000

ONE BUG i did find was the xipport buttion... it wants xipport to be with the .bin file and not xiptools, i will fix this shortly.. like sometime today

kinda off topic but anyone who wants a good tut for pagepool size

Thanks for this. The XIP import seems to work well.
Weird that there are two XIPs. XIP port seems to be able to dump both. I noticed a lot of newer HTC phones have two XIP sections for some reason.

Re: [Exclusive] XIPTools

Hi,

I am trying to decompress a XIP section to get a nk.exe with no success.
I tried all possible combinations and now I don't know what to do ?
Could someone help me ?
