Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Hi all, I believe I once saw a topic (or post(s)) about how to dump my Omnia's ROM from the device, but I honestly cannot find it now. I want to try the new roms popping out almost everywhere but really need to have a backup that I can go back, if anything bad happens. (I'm running Turkish JUHH2/JVHH2 and can't seem to find it anywhere on the net) It would be really great if someone could do a step-by-step guide for noobs like me to extract my current ROM, for backup purposes or smth. (I guess it also should include steps to get the obtained files into an .EXE installer) Any volunteers? (for the guide, or to lead us to an existing guide) Thanks UPDATE (22/11/2008): The dump is ready and finally uploading finished. Links are at 12th post, here on this topic.

Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 C'mon, doesn't anybody have a link to follow? Everybody on these forums work/wait on Omnia ROMS and noone thinks about our original/existing ROMS? It's hard to believe IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hydroxpert Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Here is a short instruction on how to dump a i900: Requirements: Activesync installed Samsung Modem Driver Installed 1. Enable access to ROM by setting reg-key HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies 00001001 from 2 to 1 2. Reboot your i900 3. Download isutils to dump your ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2ce11b6...2db6fb9a8902bda 4. Evaluate exact size of your ROM by typing the following at command prompt CODEpdocread -l You will get something like 128.58M (0x8095800) DSK1: | 1.35M (0x159800) Part00 | 3.08M (0x313800) Part01 | 124.15M (0x7c27800) Part02 Which means the flash memory (=DSK1) is split in 3 partitions with total size of 0x8095800 bytes = 134.830.080 bytes 5. Dump your ROM using the evaluated flash size by typing the following at command prompt CODEpsdread -1 0 0x8095800 i900GXHI5.img Afterwards the ROM can be flashed by using Mirage LV http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2ce11b6...2db6fb9a8902bda using EBOOT+PDA+PHONE button hope it helps! this was taken from Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi, Thanks very much for the info, Hydroxpert. The only problem is, I cannot get Mirage LV at that address. Anybody have an alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi, I've dumped my Omnia's ROM with the above method and it worked well. The .img file runs with an app (USDL4?) within my XP but I don't recall installing anything like that. Anyway, the current "thing" is that, the dump I get is 125MB in size, while the ROMS i've downloaded (official and custom ones) are slightly bigger (around 130-135mb?). Is this normal? (That is an important question, as it will decide if my Omnia gets bricked when I re-flash my original firmware to test it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also dumped my ROM into an image file using the step above but I'm not sure what to do next. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi emre, Could you please share the USDL4 programme. I have also dumped my ROM into an image file using the step above but I'm not sure what to do next. thanks Honestly, I don't know that program, I didn't install it, I didn't know it did exist in my system until two days ago :lol: I just have one guess, and that is: It just happened when I ran an updater. I did run the ROM updater by PeSco (I hope I wrote it right) just to check what it looked like. Maybe, it did associate itself with .IMG files when ran. I really don't have any other explanation about the updater. I even don't see it in my Add/remove programs list. By the way, I'll be uploading the image I dumped from my Omnia (my original - Turkish JUHH2/JVHH2) somewhere, beginning next week (as I'm off city for work since yesterday).

Guest Emre SUMENGEN Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi everyone, I've finally had the chance to upload my ROM dump from my Omnia... The image can be found in 4shared.com, links below. (I had to split, as I don't have a high bw connection, but WinRAR would do the trick) i900_JUHH2-JVHH2_FROM_PHONE.part1.rar i900_JUHH2-JVHH2_FROM_PHONE.part2.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
