mkrom hangs on welcome screen

I just make the special edition ROM trhought mkrom and I obtain the.nb1 file, but when I flash my xd and make the cold reset, it hangs on the welcome screen, it print the 3 lines in red in the right bottom and after that ..... Nothing....... sniff
Anyone could help me????
I used the .nbf file that comes with the program A of O2.
Thks

that means that the windows kernel, and gsm have initialized.
the system should then proceed to execute the stuff mentioned in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init.
maybe something went wrong with default.fdf?

I use the default.fdf that comes with the mkrom.zip, I just extract it and copy the nk.nbf file and proceed, I didn´t modify anything.
thks

I try to make another ROM with diferent Default.fdf but it hangs too.
it could be the NK.nbf file???
can you tell me where is a link fot one NK.nbf valid?
I´m going crazy :shock: jeje
thanks

if you use a different source rom, you need to change your default.fdf to
the one from that rom.

thanks for your patience,
I extract the default.fdf from the NK.nbf with dumprom.exe.
and then I use the fdf2reg.pl to create the default.reg and I put this file in the cfg directory, and after that I execute mkrom (sh mkrom.sh NK.nbf)
is that correct???
thanks

I think that the nbf file that I´m using is not a correct verion.
I tried to make a nbf file form jeff´s page but it doesn´t work with the nbf selection.
Do you know where can I find a nbf file that works with mkrom???

To view & extract .nb0 content, please help......

hi all, i have a .nb0 file which extracted from a wm5 ppc phone ( cant remember the model), and i need some help here to view this nb0 and extract some cab file from there.
This .nb0 consist a lot useful softwares, for example, soundcover (background sound during conversation), answering machine, conversation recorder and it works flawlessly on wm5 ppc phone.
Any expert??? please help.
**ok, I found the phone model, its GIGA, this is the nb0 file, latest update from thier website http://www.higiga.com/HigigaFrontStage/event/download/update/V1.12.80.zip

Hi,
Congratulations on extracting an .nb0 file. There are many methods to do so, depending on the device. Out of curiosity, which method did you use? Assuming that you correctly extracted the .nbo file of the CE image, you can treat it the same as an .nb or .bin file. use "viewimgfs *.nb0". the * of course meaning the name of your nb0 file like MSFLSH50_2.nb0, or what ever. This will give you all the files and what not. You can then use the DSMtool by bepe. This will organize all the files into packages. Then you can use cabwiz or some other program to create a cab installer. Good posts to follow are mamiach, bepe, buzzlightyear, and others, if you didn't already know. The dsmtool is found in bepe's WM5 kitchen. the viewimgfs and other imgfs tools were created by mamiach.
Regards,
Jason

thanks for your reply, i will try to use the tools to see whether i can extract anything out of it...thanks again.

I think i have successfully dump the rom to a dump folder, but i cannot see anything but only some dll files, what else i need to do??? do i need to use some tools to convert all these dll files to view the rom content?? please advise, thanks.

bin2nb & nb2bin tools

Chinese Edition: http://www.coolcode.cn/andot/bin2nb-nb2bin-released/277
Hello, everyone. I find there is no tools can convert bin file to nb file or convert nb file to bin file. so I made these tools: bin2nb & nb2bin. They only can convert os.bin to os.nb, and os.nb os.bin, they can't convert gsm, spl or ipl nb file to bin file.
They are all command line tools, and easy to use.
if you want to convert os.bin to os.nb, you can type:
Code:
bin2nb os.bin os.nb
and then, you will get os.nb file.
when you want to convert os.nb to os.bin, you can type:
Code:
nb2bin os.nb os.bin
you will get the new os.bin file.
The default setting is Typhoon(Feeler/Amadeus), if you want to convert other device nb file to bin file, you can add two parameters:
Code:
nb2bin <file.nb> <file.bin> [offset] [partbytes]
offset is a hex number without prefix, for example, the offset of Typhoon is 80240000.
partbytes is the size of the partition, it is also a hex number without prefix, for example, the partbytes of Typhoon is 1b00000.

Excuse me,
I've a Toshiba G900, I've used the Grab_it tool to create a DUMP of the ROM.
I obtained a "dump.bin" file.
Now I've to create a .nb file from this .bin file.
Do you thing your tool could works?
I've to imput a different code becouse my device is not a Typhoon?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks.

davideuck,
Have you solve your problème? Because i have the same and bin2nb doesn't work for me (My device is a Samsung Player Addict)
Thank,
McCoy.

it doesn't support diamond NB files.... anyway, thanks

[PROBLEM] How to convert an extracted OS.nb to an original ROM with nb0 extention

My Device is: I-teq X-bond equal to (Gigabyte gsmart-i64)
Its original OS is WM5 2.3 with original NB0 extention and Here is the official ROM link:
http://www.gigabytecm.com/eng/Downlo...=17&tabIndex=3
I can extract OS.NB from original file but the problem is that I do not know how to Repack and convert new OS.NB to a proper .NB0 file.
So I need your help

My Thread seems to be dead but still I did not find the answer

I google searched about the problem and I found a tool in Modaco, o2util.exe but I do not know that is a proper tool for my goal or not

Nobody here can help me?!!!

At least try to post a working link, as I can't find gsmart-i64 on gigabytecm.com or it's just gsmart-i?

OK Thank you very much for your reply, you are right gsmart-i is equal to gsmart-i64, so you can go ahead with it.

I already did that, but to download a ROM file I must to sign-up and IMEI is required, so I can't download ROM.
Can you upload it somewhere, like 4shared.com or Megaupload.com?

Received your PM, downloding file now.

So step by step:
Take shippend ROM and prepare it for kitchen:
Code:
osnbtool -sp ROM.nb0
you will get two files ROM.nb0.PRE and ROM.nb0.OS.NB
ROM.nb0.OS.NB is OS.nb file you need to use on your kitchen.
After you have done ROM building with kitchen you should get OS.nb file.
Now use osnbtool to insert extra data:
Code:
osnbtool -extra OS.nb
You will get file OS.nb.EXA and now you need to make ROM.nb0 file:
Code:
copy /B ROM.nb0.PRE+OS.nb.EXA NEW_ROM.nb0
I hope this works

Thank you very much for your complete info, These days I'm on vacation.
As soon as possible I'll check the process, but I should say that the very first step for me is to convert back generated OS.nb by osnbtool to newrom.nb0 and check the file with original ROM. however I will let u know my progress and thank u again for your time and help.

Thank u for your detail described process. I followed instruction and generated NEW_ROM.nb0 with generated OS.NB from the first step, but the volume of NEW_ROM.nb0 is different from original ROM.nb0, would u please tell me this is normal or I did something wrong or the generated NEW_ROM.nb0 is usable.

My problem is still persist and I can not reconvert extracted OS.nb to original ROM with nb0 extention

The most famous forum for WM is here, but still my problem has not solved.
Please somebody help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used osnbtool to extract os.nb from original rom with nb0 extention. but the problem is I can not use osnbtool to use os.nb and generate rom with nb0 extention.
My request here is that is there any other tools that I can figure out my problem or because creator of osnbtool.exe is a chinese guy-WEISUN-, need someone chinese to ask my problem from Weisun.
thank u for your consideration and help

Still no progress?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are many chefs but no one can help.
As I know XDA forum is the best forum for WM but it seems that they do not consider any other devices except HTCs.
