How to read files in ROM - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I have Motorola MPx200 smartphone with WM2003. I need to download some ROM files from my phone. How can I do it?
I found ER2003Edit ROM editor, but it supports only *.nbf files, but my ROM is *.img. Is it possible to convert the image? Or, is it better to use another way to get the files?
Thanx to everybody

Project Rom-Dumping, a collection of Eten Roms

Dear Users,
in order to help guru programmers to find a way to hack Eten roms and make possible upgrading with different languages, we start this new Project: a collection of as many as possible different rom dumps.
What is a dump?
This is a raw copy of the rom copied into a binary file. Itself it is useless but can give important info if compared to other dumps. For example finding out what is different between Eten M500 and Torq P100, virtually the same device but with incompatible roms.
How to grab a dump?
It is very simple. Use this small utility http://www.eten-users.net/public/TestDump.exe and run it on your pda. When asked insert \SDMMC as path and your memory size (64 MB); you have to wait some time, then a file called dump.bin will be saved on your memory card.
Please send it in our upload area (see http://www.eten-users.net/topic176) giving a name specifying model, language and rom version. For example eten-m500-eng-0042.bin
Then notify me with a private message.
I hope this will be useful hacking rom upgrades.

Are there any News??
Can nobody help me to flash original Eten Rom on my Typhoon M500??
Please help!
Since that TESTDUMP.exe is damn hard to find, I made a rapidshare mirror:

Original Camera Cab?

I unlocked my MDA but the new camera app that's on here doesn't let me use flash and has less options than the cab from the official wm5 rom.
Does anybody have the cab file for the original? (2.26 rom i think)
(And I have a mac so i can't use total commander to get the extended rom...)
Me too
I am also looking for the Camera CAB file as well, if anyone knows where to grab it.
I havent been able to find it in the forum anywhere.
Thanks

looking for WM6 file exploere

hi all
since I don't have the knowledge to dump ROMs and make out of it CAB files
does anyone could please give a good hand and may have the file explorer as in Helmi_C ROM (or in PDAVIET ) as a cab to install on present Xplode ROM.
I would appreciate it very much, and I'm sure I will not be the only one
Aviad
look at the first post of my rom, what you are looking for is named GS Finder
Xplode thx
first thing is that you are cooking great ROMs
but this is not the same file explorer
I re-flash Helmi_C ROM and it is a different program
since I don't know how to Extract Helmi_C ROM and take the files from there and place them in your ROM, I need help
I could not find how to "open" a .nbf file into directories
Aviad
it is the same file explorer but with difrend icon
yes I just notice that, sorry for blaming you
where can I get the other icons?

Building and Editing Polaris ROM's

Hi All
I see now we are getting quite a few custom ROM's from the likes of bepe, panosha and other.
Great Work Guys.
But i would also like to be able to build or a least edit a ROM to exactly meet my requirement. Like adding or removing certain CAB files and making reg edits.
Have been reading a lot of other threads on the site put none seem to deal directly with the Polaris.
So i was hoping some of you great cooks (grovel grovel grovel) would wight a description on how to take a nbh file and extract and edit the different nb parts and then rebuild back to a nbh file ready for flashing.
Thanks
polaris kitchen
sorry......wrong answer
I'd love that too! I want to mod an existing ROM and make it specific to my needs.
Will anyone be so kind and post a short guide how to do this? And make the topic sticky!
First, you can start with Kaiser's Kitchen...and at last, use Dark Simpson tool (htc room tool) to make nbh file (config add Polaris device in tool config)
Cheers,
ouioui
Good place to start is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
Yep , good one, but everything is based on Kaiser.
I don't have a Polaris Radio, neither does the HTC Rom Tool allow to cook Polaris Rom's.
Any other ideas ? Or could someone help ?
Thanks a lot in advance
The Kaiser kitchen works fine and all you need to do with the Dark Simpson ROM tool is change the Model ID from KAIS***** to POLA*****
As always read the threads before you start cooking and make sure you have Hard SPL!!
Thanks
I've been reading all night ;-)
In the HTC Rom tool there is no Polar***** , strange, although I thought I downloaded the newest ini. I've read in another thread that I could use the Kaiser one as it was basically the same device, is that so ?
Other question though:
Talking about Hard-SPL- I've Hard-SPL'd mine , but do I need to include that one in the rom as well ? Like while using the HTC Rom Tool , in the SPL section ???
Second question, where can I find the radio.....nb ?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.
As I said set the ROM tool to Kaiser then change the Model ID to POLA***** and use as normal to create the nbh image.
As for Hard SPL... once you´ve flashed it that´s that, no need to flash it every time you change ROMs or radio...
id love to see the guide for polaris aswell.
and oem packages as well.
i did everything as it was sowen in kaiser guide, but i got an error on building system. have no idea why..
was saying that something is missing or path is icorrect smth like that
post here exact errr.U got.
here is htcrt.ini for polaris (only Polaris Option is active) simply rewrite htcrt.ini in folder with htcrt.EXE
It's not necessary to include Radio ROM when building? Right?
nope, its up 2 U what 2 include (SPL/Radio/OS/Splash)

Thanks for the guidance. The tutorial is great but fails to mention specifics if you are not cooking a Kaiser Rom. For example, does the baserom have to come from a shipped Rom? I was using the 3.02 Kaiser Rom as my baserom. Can you do that when cooking a Polaris rom? How do I get the RUU_signed.nbh out of any other Rom. I thought about using the WM6.1 19716 Rom but couldn't extract anything. (Probably stupid questions but cant find answers in the wiki). BTW, I was getting same errors about half-way through compiling process. If I try again today, I will record the errors and post. Again, thx for help.
sgreenwood99M me i have 19716 WM6.1 for cooking. U can Use some part of any ROM but U have to be sure exactly what. In general U can Use OEMpackages freely, but be aware with drivers, baseapps....(i have perfect CZECH 19199 WM6.1 but w/o working SMS)
Hi,
i've read through the Kaiser kitchen guide and it all seems to make sense however i'm not sure how much is relavent to the Polaris, for example the ingredients section talks about expanding the radio file and the rom files to folders, from the Kaiser files on rapidshare etc.
Do us Polaris users do these points too? or are there specific Polaris Radio and ROM files we use?
I have my base ROM file called RUU_signed.nbh and i've also managed to use pdocread to get the RAW files too, but just not sure where to go now?
All i want to do is remove a few cabs and add a few cabs and EXEs to my rom.
can anyone post comments on exactly which parts of the Kaiser kitchen guide need to be changed to use on a Polaris?
thanks.
dont need raw's. simply put *.NBH(polaris) to BaseRom folder. Run begin.cmd(or bat?) Choose option 1.
click......... then start cook.cmd(or bat)
Do we replace the KaiserCustomRUU and the BuildOS files with ones specific to Polaris? Thanks.
yes, take udK CustomRUU & replace kaiser one, u dont need to replace anything else(except htcrt.ini ||KAIS**** replace with POLA***). And of course Polaris' *nbh
Whenever I put a Polaris nbh in the BaseRom folder, the process gives me an error that it cannot find RUU_signed.nbh.

Make my own WM6.1

I recently owned a Polaris, and already started modifying it a litte bit.
I flashed the old WM6 with this one.
I'm happy with it, but I added some programs and tweaks (register modify), and I would like to make my own rom with those included, so if I need to do a hard reset I won't have to re-install all the stuff.
I downloaded the Polaris Kitchen, and HyperCore, but I can't make it work, or I don't understand ... I've searched all the day, is there anywhere a tutorial for use of those applications.
And by the way, in the HyperCore readme they speak about a nk.nbf file, that should be my "base" rom, but I can't get this anywhere, I searched a way to extract it from the nbh french rom, but it seems to be impossible.
Can somebody help me please ?
Want the same
