Question about NBHExtract

How to extract Windows.nb from nba (not nbh) files of Dopod Lite and Dopod PowerMap?
NBHExtract doesn't work with nba-files.

i think nb=nba, i'm not sure, but i guess

Use imgfstools to extract OS.nb, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327

pof, i guess he was asking for extraction windows.nb from xyz.nba. but nba and nb are the same or not? He wasnt asking how 2 extract files from rom.

Oh yes, i read too fast sorry.
NBA is decoded NBF, which generally is the same as a .nb, so it's already extracted.
If he means how to extract from NBF then it depends on which NBF version, see the itsme tools alpinenbfdecode, typhoonnbfdecode, etc...

for artemis works dutty's nbh tool (if i remember correctly you cotributed to it)

How to extract and reconstruct OEM and SYS parts:
P.S.: OEM part must be an Polaris OEM, not from other devices!
1. To extract .nbh files you need NBHextract.
Put your .nbh file and nbhextract.exe into a directory
From prompt commands: nbhextract file_name.nbh
Delete all extracted files except xx_OS.nb
Rename xx_OS.nb in OS.nb
2. To extract OS.nb files you need ImgFS Tools (v2.1rc2)
Extract all files inside the zip into the same OS.nb directory and from prompt commands:
nbsplit -kaiser OS.nb
imgfsfromnb OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
We have dumped the ROM and than we need reconstruct OEM and SYS parts, to make this need PKG Tool.
This step it's very simple, open the dump directory with PKG Tool than Tools -> Build Packages
Ok now we have OEM and SYS parts.
!! Remember, use only OEM part from Polaris ROM don't use from other device or your ROM don't boot. !!

HTC Touch Dual Dialer for Touch Cruise
Hello,
the touch cruise dialer satisfy me not. I saw the dialer in Youch dual and it's much better.
Can I replace mine for touch dual dialer? What should I do to replace?
PS: I thought there is a .cab with dialer, I should just luanch it and it will remove the previous one himself, but I cannot find such a .cab. Help.
Another question, if I finally replace my dialer with another one - will the view of "Calls list" be replaced with the new one? I wish it will.

Need only to change OEM (Polaris OEM) and SYS (Kaiser SYS) from a Dutch ROM.

Can you explain me What i must do to get the KAISER NLD SYS en what the POLARIS OEM is ?? I have download the WM 6.1 Dutch but it's an .NBH file for the Kaiser. I hope you can help.

First all you need an Official Polaris Dutch ROM (find it here) to extract OEM part only.
To extract .nbh files you need NBHextract.
To extract OS.nb files you need ImgFS Tools
nbsplit -kaiser OS.nb
imgfsfromnb OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
To reconstruct OEM and SYS parts you need PKG Tool
Remember, OEM from Polaris and SYS from Kaiser, don't mix them!
Then put your OEM and SYS in C:\Polaris_Kitchen (delete existing).
Open ROM\XIP\boot.rgu and change:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"=dword:409
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"=dword:409
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"=dword:413
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"=dword:413
save and exit.
That's all.

Thanks i will try youre great.
DONE: now i have to wait for the Polaris Kitchen youre great i hope this work. The Download link is availible tonight ?
Edit: Nevermind there are online great work

very fantastic UDK
moderator... Sticky thread???

I get an Error: The File temp\packages\75bcd9fa-30b9-8705-5d86-11acd2e2c1b1.dsm already exists
after that the BuildOS stops.
Edit: After closing BuildOS the file Buildrom.bat is busy with things maybe it's going to be ok.
I have got a .nbh file now i going to flash and look if it is working.
Edit: Flashing has worked but my phone is hanging on boot any idea ???

If BuildOS returns error close it and then close prompt commands, don't flash the .nbh.
I will fix this, If buildos returns error automatically stops all others tools.

Cooking rom from a .bin RomFile

Hello my friends !
I search how cooking rom from a bin file of 32M !
I know how do it from a nbh file or nb file, but i don't knwo how to do from a bin file !
Which tool using ?
Great Thanks !!!!

you need imgfstools2 to extract the bin / recreate a nbh

Thanks for you fast answer !
So i will re-tets with imgfs2rc2, but i think that i don't function
I re-test !!!

from the readme
ReadMe said:
On a high level, this is the chain of actions needed to unpack OS.nb:
RUU-signed.nbh ---(*NBHExtract)---> OS.nb ---(NBSplit)---> OS.nb.payload -->
--(ImgfsFromNb)---> imgfs.bin ---(ImgfsToDump)---> 'dump' directory
Here you'll edit the 'dump' directory. I recommend using bepe's excellent *Package Tool for this.
The reverse process is:
'dump' directory ---(ImgfsFromDump)---> imgfs-new.bin ---(ImgfsToNb)--->
OS-new.nb.payload ---(NBMerge)---> OS-new.nb ---(*NBHGen)--->
RUU-signed-new.nbh
(The tools marked with '*' are not part of the ImgfsTools, but are also available for free from xda-developers.com. There is also one additional tool, NBInfo, in this package.)

HOWTO Rebuild own ROM with kitchen?

Hello,
I want to cook my own ROM. After I read many many sites at this forum, I found a 'polaris kitchen 1.3' that seems to be good for me.
I want to use the original WM6.1 O2-ROM as base for my 'new' ROM.
My target is the original ROM without some progs (O2 specific) an also without tomtom, 'Erste Schritte' (First Steps) and opera.
I want to add MyMobiler, and some other cabs. Also, I want to make some registry corrections.
These steps I made:
1. Extract the Updatefile with 7Zip and got the neccassary file 'RUU_signed.nbh' as I understand correctly.
2. Extract the 'RUU_signed.nbh' with this command
Code:
NBHextract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
Now, I have these files
- '00_Unknown.nb', <== Radiofile (Thanx to ianl8888)
- '01_SPL.nb', <== ???
- '02_MainSplash.bmp', <== O2 BootSplashScreen Bitmap
- '02_MainSplash.nb' <== ???
- '03_OS.nb' <== OS file which we need to split
Question1: Do I need only the '03_OS.nb'? What do i need the other files for?
3. I used this command to split the nb-File '03_OS.nb'
Code:
NBSplit.exe -kaiser 03_OS.nb
I got this:
- '03_OS.nb.payload'
- '03_OS.nb.extra'
Question2: Is it OK to use the parameter -kaiser? Remember, I will create a orbit2/polaris ROM
Question3: What are this files for?
4. now I used this command
Code:
imgfsfromnb 03_OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
to build the 'imgfs.bin' file
5. with the following command I've created a 'dump' folder
Code:
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
This dump folder include many subfolders and files
6. I start the package tool 'PKGTool.exe' an selected the dump-Folder
The output:
Code:

Question4: Everything OK till now?
7. Now I've selected 'tool' - 'build packages'
Inside the dump folder, I've only two subfolder 'SYS' and 'OEM'
Maybe this is the next step ... (Thanx to ianl8888)
8. Now we must dump the 'xip.bin' with this command:
Code:
RomMaster.exe 03_OS.nb.payload -w 5 -b 0x00310000 -x -o xip.bin
[The syntax recorded in the how-to page had left out the suffix "payload" ]
So I have a XIP.BIN about 3.3Mb which XIPPort.exe has dumped into \Out\Files & \Out\Modules
Question5: What to do next?

Hi,
that is exactly the same I wanna do. After you have the SYS and OEM folder the next would be to re-create the ROM folder for your kitchen. We need a new XIP. That is the point where I don't know how to continue. I have already tested to replace the original SYS and OEM with those versions I build via dumping the new O2 Germany ROM. But after trying to rebuild and flashing the ROM with the kitchen the ROM won't boot.
Therefore I asked the chefs at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2657634 to help me.
Hopefully we can take a step further.
Tom

I have already managed to build a new german rom based on the
O2 GER 3.13 released some days ago and I used the XIP 20743 from
Shayders thread to build. Had no errors in cooking but I did not
flash yet because of maybe wrong location of XIP files in the ROM.
But I have another problem with HTC ROM Tool when trying to cook
the radio 1.59.42.15 (or any other) in the ROM. The tool always states:
"The size of this file is greater than default. Do you want to assign this file?"
I said yes and it builds the rom but now I don't know if it would work
because of the warning. I tried different radio.nb files and all of them
are 17MB and all of them give the error in HTC ROM Tool when assigning
them... Is this normal?

I don't know how to proceed yet with the "re-building stage", but I think you are still 3 steps short of this, anyway:
we need the XIP.BIN file to use the XIPPORT.exe tool on for XIP Files\Modules. The XIP build no. I have extracted is 19965, but we are already at 20753 for the device-independent MS files
I do NOT yet know how to extract the XIP.BIN file for this. I have successfully extracted it from an Eten temp.dat file (nbh equivalent) but not for HTC ROM files.
So I think we need to do steps 7,8,9 (xip.bin, xipport, \out) yet. How to extract xip.bin ??
Then re-build with edits (whole new ball game)
Some ROM chefs (eg. Ervius, swtos, cs) are generous enough to help, I hope, as they have in the past.

OK, later edit:
I've figured out how to dump xip.bin
RomMaster.exe OS.nb.payload -w 5 -b 0x00310000 -x -o xip.bin
[The syntax recorded in the how-to page had left out the suffix "payload" ]
So I have a XIP.BIN about 3.3Mb which XIPPort.exe has dumped into \Out\Files & \Out\Modules
But now, when attempting "make pkgs", XIPPort.exe falls over with "could not load file or assembly" errors these tools are so prone to. A path problem (I think) that continually drives me up the wall. We need the "packages" from XIP.BIN to know which files are the OEM drivers etc specific to the Polaris.
So I'm at steps 7, 8 and 8.5 ... it's like pulling teeth
BTW, 00_unknown.nb is the radio file.

Thanks, I see that you provided a new XIP in packages

steps now with which I built my ROM. Could you
please confirm if I have done right?

(Post #8 in the thread)
2. Download and XIP 20753 from the new thread.

3. Put the extracted SYS and OEM folder from
dumped and packaged ROM of you choice into the Build folder
of the Shayder Kitchen.
4. Put the extracted MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK
folder from Shayders XIP 20753 into the SYS folder which
was before copied into the Build Folder.
5. Start ROM.bat in the kitchen
6. Select "1 - Build"
7. Select "1+2+3+4+5" in the next screen
8. Select "0" to let it run
9. Click the green button in the Build tool
10. Close Build tool when run ready
11. Wait to finish the nbh and enjoy!
I did so and got the ruu_signed.nbh file
ready to flash... think no need to XIPport etc.
but in fact I don't know exactly as I didn't flash my rom

I also did it this way. You're right, there is a ruu_signed.nbh after all that staff has finished. But the after flashing this ROM image to the orbit it won't boot. The splash screen is shown but nothing else happens.
I think this is caused by the XIP part.

1) Of course I'm not yet sure that this is the right direction. But I do know that if we want to upgrade the XIP build we have to sort the \OEM and \SYS "packages" from xip.bin. These directories contain OEM drivers specific to the device (here, Polaris)
Still cannot get XIPPort.exe to "make pkgs" although it works with an Eten X500 ROM
2) rommaster.exe is found (from my memory only) in any one of the Polaris or Kaiser kitchen files. It is a very old file, though - Nov 25, 2005. You can also find it in Shayder's kitchen on the front page of this sub-forum
Perhaps there's a later version of a "rommaster.exe" somewhere ?

If you are too unsure to test with flashing (I thought that was what HardSPL was for !!) then try to extract your own RUU_signed.nbh in full and see what you get.

later edit: I have XIPPort.exe "making pkgs" now. XIPPort needs to be in its own folder ( ?? )with the support dll's etc.
So now I'm at Step 9 (the unknown) with \OEM and \SYS "packages" for editing.
The base ROM I'm trying to edit is the recent release of the official HTC WM6.1 Polaris ROM. This ROM is not protected by "all-commands-to-one" etc and so is fully extractable and editable if I can figure out how.
I think the next step (likely 10 or 12 sub-steps in there) is to understand the DSM's, RGU's, HV boot files etc. There is a tool XIPAddrTools available on this sub-forum that I have some hope for in helping here
I am trying to do two things with this ROM:
1) replace the XIP device-independent files with an upgraded set (build 1995 to build 2073)
2) remove all the crap that HTC and other ROM cooks put into it - like Cube, Home, Office etc etc
In other words, I'm trying for a WM6.1, recent XIP build, very clean ROM
Maybe ...

as downloadable in Shayders XIP 20743 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424655
(the rapidshare link). This one does not have to be copied
into the SYS folder, but copied directly into the ROM folder.
I created a rom with this one with Polaris Kitchen 1.3.
Don't know if this would boot (didn't flash it either).

I just tested without any modifications of XIP. I used the original XIP (os.nb.payload, imgfs.bin) delivered within the Kitchen. Only copied the SYS and OEM from the O2 ROM to the kitchen and tried to build a ROM. Result is a non booting ruu_signed.nbh.

My version attached. If someone wants to try...
It's a german light version of O2 3.13.207.0 ROM
without Cube, TTN, Opera, useless stuff.
With XIP 20743 cooked in as os.nb.payload with
Polaris Kitchen V1.3
No radio included. You will most likely have to flash
1.59.42.15 manually after installation of the rom.

If been testing around with this thread and this one and made a successful rom, some how the xip files needs to be extracted, 3,4 MB is little low, cause the one i got was 3.8 MB.
I used buildos+package_tools-2.7.exe to build my package and htcrt.exe to build the rom. (i change model from KAIS***** to POLA***** to get working and flash able rom)
I will experiment more cause i need to convert raw dump to original rom for warranty

Yes, the various Registry addresses change as the XIP build changes so we need to understand RGU's, DSM's etc. The uDk sticky is helpful
Because the kitchens require a "template" to re-build a ROM, I still believe that the most thorough method is to use the just-released WWE WM6.1 HTC ROM as this template. Extract it all, replace the XIP device-independent filesystem with a newer build, remove all the stuff you don't want from \OEM "packages" and re-compile.
This is struggle street maybe, but this jigsaw is a challenge.

I've downloaded a newer version from Shayder's kitchen (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427962). There is another os.nb.payload template. With this version of the kitchen I was able to produce a working ruu_signed.nbh with the SYS and OEM folder from the new German O2 ROM. Encouraged by this result I then tried to change the Kernel parts from XIP 20753 and replace NETCF2 with NETCF3.5 - Result: working ROM with NetCF3.5. Many thanks to all guys helping me especially those who have developed Kitchen's, Tools etc.
At this point I have OS version CE OS 5.2.20753 but the Build is still 19965.1.2.3. Therefore the next step should be replacing the SYS parts with its equivalents from a newer Build.
Questions about this:
1. Can I use a SYS folder from another (newer) ROM without modifications?
2. How to build a ROM with German localization? Shall I only copy the language specific folders from the original ROM to the SYS-part of the new ROM?
3. Are there some other stuff? What about Registry settings for different languages?
....
I read so many threads but I'm still not sure what to do next.
Thanks.

Yes, that's real progress.
BUT - list step-by-step exactly how you did it, please
This is the problem - many posts about being successful, very few listing the detail.

How to backup an original ROM

Hello FHM and the rest of the board members,
Could you please help me to backup my original ROM? It is a Swisscom version of S740. Maybe I need it later again... or others are interested in.
Regards
Semmelknoedel

Hey,
I have the HTC Rose from Swisscom too, please tell me if you manage to backup the rom and flash the 6.5 rom.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sadly I can't help you with your question as I'm interested in doing it too... sorry...

need a little more help
Hi ceesheim,
Posting the necessary links was very helpful for me. I was able to dump the ROM from my SwissCom S740. Now I have got the 4 RAW files.
I'm following the instruction written by dj13241. Now i faced a problem on step: "rebuild a flashable ROM from a dump" at topic 3 (Insert XIP (Part01.raw) into new-os.nb.payload). As I executed the command for the first time cmd was asking for admin-rights. OK. I have opened cmd as admin. Now I have inserted the command: implantxip Part01.raw new-os.nb.payload
An Error was shown in cmd "xip file not specified". What did I wrong? Please see also the attached snapshot.
Thanks in advance.
Semmelknoedel

First rename part01.raw to xip.bin.
Then the correct command is:
insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod

Thanks FHM for answering. But it doesn't work. I'm using a insertxip.bat copied from "new_visualkitchen_v_1_8_1_only_exe_+_Tools_folder".
Content of this bat-file:
@echo off
rem echo Processing "%1"
implantxip -xip XIP_new_ported\xip.bin -payload ..\ROM\%1\OS.nb.payload
after execution of the command you mentiond in thread before, I get this error message:
Implantxip & Payload Resizer v. 1.1 by ervius!!!
PAYLOAD: ..\ROM\-xip\OS.nb.payload not found!
XIP not Inserted!
Based on the bat-file I have inserted the folder "XIP_new_ported" and "ROM->-xip".
Where is the mistake I made?

Hi Weezphili,
here are the addresses you need:
Swisscom ROM for the Rose:
3.12M (0x31f000) Part00
3.25M (0x340000) Part01
80.38M (0x5060000) Part02
122.50M (0x7a80000) Part03

did you do this ?
"Extract XIP (Part00 and Part01 ... You will need bepe's dumpxip.exe from ervius visual kitchen):
1) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part00.raw
2) Rename XIP folder to XIP_00 (ren XIP XIP_00)
3) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part01.raw
4) Rename XIP folder to XIP_01 (ren XIP XIP_01)"

You don't need to dump the part01.raw. It's the XIP, all you need to is to rename it to xip.bin!
Put the xip.bin and the os.nb.payload (or whatever the name is you have) in the same folder as implantxip.exe!
Open an elevated CMD (Windows key + R then type in cmd) switch to the folder with the exe, bin and payload file with:
cd C:\yourfolder
then type in what I wrote above! Done

This is done, but another question: you command is "insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod" but there are xip.bin and the os.nb.payload and implantxip.exe and insertxip.bat in that folder. After execution of your command the same error like before:
Implantxip & Payload Resizer v. 1.1 by ervius!!!
XIP: XIP_new_ported\xip.bin not found!
XIP not Inserted!
E:\Test>
mmh... strange!

Don't use the bat any more. Just use my command, it's the same thing, it just works
Otherwise upload the the files (raws) and I'll do it for you!

You are right, the problem is the bat-file. But I couldn't find a insertxip.exe
Do you have one for me?

Uuuuups did I wrote insertxip?? My bad. I meant implantxip
Sorry

And also at the end of the command insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod -> the "a" is missing
Now it works with this command:
implantxip -xip xip.bin -payload os.nb.payload
Thanks for your help. I'm going to go the next steps...

Problems with final steps
As described in dj13241's thread the final steps are:
- Merge os-new.nb.payload into os-new.nb (nbmerge -kaiser os-new.nb)
- Create os-new.nbh nbhutil, Select "Touch_Pro2" under "Target Device", change RHOD*** to RHOD500, click the ... box next to OS, and select new-os.nb, click Build NBH and select where to save NBH file.
... I don't want build a ROM for Touch Pro 2 What do I have to select in the dropdown list or shall I use FHM's Vox Rose Kitchen 2.0?
Thanks for you help.

Yes, lol my fault again. That happens when I use my laptop keyboard, I mistype a lot...

Get the TOOLs part of my kitchen then in the tools folder open the HTC ROM Tool (htcrt.exe) choose the Diamond and change DIAM***** to ROSE1000 under OS select your os-new.nb and click on build to make a nbh that you can flash.
EDIT: nbmerge -kaiser os-new.nb is the right step

But there is no os-new.nb. If you read the dj13241's thread and you are looking for os-new.nb you only find it at the end of his instruction. So I guess that it is the os.nb i have extracted with command nbhextract RUU_Signed.nbh
By the way: the RUU_Signed.nbh I use is from Blackstone.. is this ok or not?

HTC ROM Tool (htcrt.exe)
FHM, what can you tell me about the SPL, Splash and Radio contents? Will this not be part of my original ROM I try to build? I think a Radio is necessary, do I also have to dump it from Rose?
...a lot of work. Thank god it's holiday...

you made only the rom ( no spl , radio , splash ) .
if you flash your new build rom you keep your old splash and your old radio (they are still on the phone ).
no need to dump them .
only when you flash a new radio or splash you could dump the old first .
