Reading file location (hex addr) possible for non CG sets?

For you more advanced hackers out there, do you know of any method to return the hex address for files in the Moto UI filesystem (/a/)? I'm working with the RAZR, but I imagine the process ought to be similar with other models.

I know that SHXCodex and FlashBackup will extract data based on hex address, designed for extracting code groups with known hex locations. According to their full-backup features, it's implied that the entire phone memory is allocated between 10000000 and 12000000 (33,554,432 bytes).

So what I need is a method to find the starting hex address for a given file, i.e. /a/mobile/audio/ringtone.mp3. Any help would be greatly appreciated, feel free to discuss.

FYI, I'm working on reverse-engineering the MyToneDB.db and TempToneDB.db files to eliminate the need to silence and delete to refresh ringtones added via P2K. Progress is good, and I'm hoping that this is the final piece I need.

It's a filing system in the flex and the file load address will most likely vary. I think the seems are handled pretty much the same way, as files. I would like to know more about how to access the files directly, but haven't found anything.
