How to extract imgfs.bin from a custom ROM
 

Hi,

I need to extract two dlls from a custom TP2 rom. I can extract os.nb from nbh file correctly. However, when I run imgfsfromnb, it generates zero length imgfs. I tried a number of custom roms and the result were the same. The dlls are for unicode sms transmission and receiving (HTC_SMS_Providers.dll and SMS_Providers.dll). Is there anyway to extract it correctly?

1) if you want to extract dll files, check out rom extractor

2) moved to correct forum

Well how rom extractor will help me in this case? My tp 2 does not have those 2 dlls. They are in the custom rom installation nbh file that supports unicode. I just need to get the imgfs from the custom rom installation without having to install to my tp 2 first.

Why not install the ROM?

Long story short. I gave the phone to my sister for the long trip out of the country and she did not know how to do it so I need to extract those two files and asked her to copy over the in \windows directory.

Thanks! Could you tell me which rom you extracted from? The rom for North America will not work as it is default to ascii. I want to make sure that the dll can handle unicode at least, preferable CHS or CHT as she discovered that the phone could not display local sms. She needs the phone because I installed gps map program so she would not get lost there. :mrgreen:

Jeff, if you can provide the specific ROM...

Wirelessly posted (htc Pocket PC: Sprint/HTC_Touch_Pro2_T7380 Opera/9.70 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en))

I must say I think you're going about this the wrong way.
Is this a RhodiumW or a GSM Rhodium you are working with here?
For sms/mms you should just need the correct settings for the carrier she is using this device with. Maybe there is a simple cab install available. If calls work on this network then sms should certainly function. :scratch:

op originally posted in cdma tp2 forum so i would assume its a cdma tp2 and i agree with you.

Re: How to extract imgfs.bin from a custom ROM
 

I took it from my custom rom found in the cdma touch pro 2 section "userROM" . so if that's not what you're looking for maybe post the link to the rom you need like horndoctor and others suggested .

Link is in the first post from xda:
[rom]wm6.5.3 29017+6.5 21916+6.1 21057 - xda-developers

It looks like GSM version Rom. But since I only need the HTC_SMS_Providers.dll and SMS_Providers.dll out of it, it shouldn't brick the phone. I think these two will provide the proper encoding for sending the sms and mms.

Unfortunately it did not work that fashion. Others had success by replacing these two DLLs. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-vogue/...t-message.html

Re: How to extract imgfs.bin from a custom ROM
 

I could not extract the 2 DLLs from the XDA rom. I was hoping puff to examine it as he requested it.

I don't think those .dll files are present on regular rhodium(gsm) roms. I looked into my Chinese TP2 rom dumps and those are non-existent. If you know a World phone ROM that has it working, I could try that and see.

Had you found a way to extract files from your cooked ROM?
If no there is a way to extract/modify any ROM.Go to http://aniruddhamukherjee.wikispaces...n+HTC+nbh+file and follow the instuctions. Only thing to change is the compression method used for your device. see this at step 6 : Generate new Imgfs from Dump. e.g. for my device which is Touch HD aka Blackstone the compression format is XPR and not LZX. Try this method !

Sorry for the delay! I cannot flash a GSM rom :x

Try kle54's method for extraction on PC if you cannot find GSM user to flash rom...

And let us know if it works!
