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.
