The source is not available and that was designed for WM5.

wait... what wm6+ doesnt use that method anymore... so how do we detect the beginning of the XIP, by the looks of the file in a hex editor, there are still 2 xip sections right? oh and there was a password protected rar in my titan folder on the ftp before whoever erased half the ftp

but is/was my tool

Ill probably get yelled at or called names for helping you but in the 2 roms in my instructions you are to use, 00320000 is the starting adress for the XIP and i havnt come across a rom that this hasnt been the case.

Straight from MSDN: the string "ECEC" at the beginning of a partition is the only way to identify a XIP section.

Your method may work, but there's no guarantee it will work. Hence, it isn't the advised way of finding it.

wow im amazed at what this turned in to. he posted because i was having issues and he had ported so i was wanting to learn. this is why the developers leave. just because he didnt give people credit immediatly doesnt mean he wasnt gonna. we all have personel lives and he posted some information that helped me out he may not have gotten to alll the credits at the moment but damn it was one in the morning i remember the second he posted. its really pretty childish that all yall care about is the credit thing. someone did actually care about the devices but he started off with calling him a tool. really thats what the senior members of this site have resorted to name calling and bashing im very disappointed at what yall have become. this site is one of the best places on earth to get info that is apparently till you get to a certain point. this was really posted so that people wouldnt have to put up with more people like us. so that the info could be spread this place is full of knowledge but its also full of people who survive solely on there ego. somem mod needs to close this thread down let people cool because i see this getting even further out of hand than it already is.

You're not referring to fayfay aka dainja as a developer are you? I'd honestly be surprised if he could develop a rash.

Erm, even after being called out he said his only sources were two threads on xda.

Dear Lord! There are more of you?

chill we didnt ask for your childish moment. i have no plan on defending myself to you nor stooping to your level of ignorant babel. we are workingto help out the community to give them more options and we have gotten so far is destructive criticism. this place is a wealth of knowledge that is open to everyone and people like you are why we leave.

Well, no. The credit thing was commented on because it is simply ludicrous that fayfay post a guide when he couldn't follow personalized instructions from DCD, then posted like he was a xip porting master at xda after having spoken w/ LennySh, then got exposed as not having a clue what LennySh had actually done while holding his hand. To top it off, after he knows that two very good guides were create and posted in the last week here and at xda, he comes here and posts instructions on a process he STILL doesn't understand. He got called a tool because he has demonstrated himself to be one.

Fayfay is one of those ego people. This thread wasn't started because he wanted to share info, it was started so he could get some glory. If all he wanted to do was help you out, he could have done that by simply saying "here's a link to the steps" or "here's what LennySh had me do". I'm pretty sure I could have typed that even at 1AM.
