I have asked and have seen the question asked and no one EVER answers...almost like its a secret--but really, I have asked the best---not to mention names and never get a response.

1. How do you dump your ROM on your phone?

What is the big deal...why can't the question be answered?

IS there magic? There is never a straight answer to it.
After googling for hours on it, all I could find is a program that I cant run.
There is no step by step instructions to follow. If there are, I haven't been able to find it.
If there isn't, why can't there be?

2. What is inside the phone that can be dumped?
well, at this point, I know there is a RADIO and a ROM.

But how about the PRI and the SPL? epst??
PRL??
Are those dumpable?

Are all of these things on a NAND chip??

Maybe this is the wrong forum to ask these questions, and maybe its better off on xda, but, if you go to the touchpro section of this forum, there are dumps of original ROM...they had to come from somewhere...maybe even the OP of that thread...an answer would be nice instead of being ignored.

I just want to know what exactly is on the phone and where its all stored.
If there is anyone willing to cross the line and actually answer the questions above, please come forward and share your knowledge.

Well I don't know the answer to your questions, but i know this doesn't belong in the news forum. Maybe if you posted elsewhere in this forum, you would get the answers your looking for.

your right on that...i thought i put it in the general ppc info section.
but, if someone was to answer some of the questions here, then i guess it would be news.

dumping roms is fairly easy, but hard at first, google search for pdocread, xda has some good info about it's usage in the wikki, with this tool, you are only able to dump the os portion of your rom, to dump other portions, you would need to use (as far as I know) haret I don't think anyone has ever flashed a radio dumped with haret, but I know that is how they dump spl's before modding them for our unlocking pleasure. I guess it would be possible to dump pretty much anything with haret, but I am not sure how useable the output would be on most things, because a dump does you no good without tools to reconstruct the dump into a useable format. google pdocread and haret, and check out the xda wikki is about all the info I have, I believe the tools come in a package called itsutils.

thanks buddy,
much apprecaited.
Now, there has to be some compiling and decompiling (like a cramfs) i guess out there. Is would you know the name of that as well?

I wonder if IMCOKEMAN would kindly chime in on this.

Also, thank for moving this into the correct thread for better views on this.
