Help adding a single file (INITOBJ.TXT) to an OS ROM image

Forgive my naiveity in this area, (and I'm sure what I'm asking here is obvious to most), but I'm trying to replace the INITOBJ.DAT file in an OS ROM image and need some help.
I'm using: ROM ver 3.20.06 ENG and Bootloader 6.22
I have backed up the OS image using OSImageTool, as ROM.NB1
and edited the INITOBJ.TXT file in readyiness for my new ROM.
1. Can I use MKROM without a bootloader image and get it to create my
new OS ROM image ?
2. Can I use any of the other tools to add the INITOBJ.DAT to my OS ROM
image ?
If so can you show me the steps ?
Thanks

downgrade radio version

should i downgrade the radio version when i want take my o2 mini to warranty?IF so,how to downgrade the radio version,i have try upgrade the rom and downgrade back,but it's there a way to downgrade the radion version? i am newbie so hope can learn more thing here sorry for my poor english. Have a nice day!

no one can help?

I can help!
The reason why the radio is not downgraded is because the ROM backup actually doesn't downgrade radio at all.
Now, the way to do it properly is to first grab whatever ROM package you want (I grabbed an Imate JAM v 1.01 ship). Then you extract the files in the .exe file to a folder. Delete all the nbf files except "radio.nbf" then use MaUpgradeUt_noID.
Basically, by deleting the other nbf files, you are only upgrading/downgrading the ROM.

thanks friend!cheers!!

nbh format used in Hermes (TyTN) roms to nk.nbf, possible?

Hello,
The available original shipped ROMs for the HTC Hermes have .nbh files with the RUU, instead of the usual .nbf files found in other HTC rom updates:
By now, there are two shipped ROMs available, containing:
HERMIMG_Dopod_1.23.707.1_SHIP.nbh
hermimg_QtekNOR_1.18.255.3_Ship.nbh
So, it seems that the usual nk.nbf file is no longer used by the Hermes RUU
I cannot extract the various rom components (ExtROM, OS, IPL/SPL, SplashScreen, GSM radio, etc...) out of these files using the usual TyphoonNbfTool, however maimach's prepare_imgfs finds the imgfs and dumps it apparently ok, but it cannot be read using viewimgfs or itsme's rdmsflsh.pl, so I guess the dumped file is invalid.
Anybody knows about this new format?
is it possible to convert it to nk.nbf so we can cook our own roms?
Would it be possible for example to extract the radio rom from Dopod and replace it on QtekNOR rom?

Hi,
do you know a way to convert a .nbf file to .nbh? i want to flash the cortulla's ROM on my HTC magician using your flasher tool.

Creating Extended Rom

I want to add a program into my extended rom.
I used duttys tool to extract the files out of the RUU_Signed.nbh and came up with:
G3IPL.nb
G4IPL.nb
SPL.nb
Windows.nb
ExtendedRom.nb
Radio.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
I used winimage to change the contents of the ExtendedRom.nb and added my .cab files.
Now i need to compress all the files back into RUU_Signed.nbh ready to flash into the phone. When I go into duttys tool and select ARTE1100 which my phone says it is the only options are:
First Splash
Second Splash
OS
Ext. ROM
Radio
How do i get the missing .nb files into the compressed RUU_Signed.nbh file. Even if I use HERM200 settings there is still no place for some of the .nb files
Thanks

If you changed only ExtROM, it is enough to add ExtROM and OS. All other parts would remain unchanged.

Ive tried that and with using HTC rom tool. It gets to 3% and gives me error 270.
I tried just the extended rom as well, that gets to 99% and gives the same error.

dump reconstruction... What went wrong ?

Hello
I wanted to convert a dumped rom into a flashable one.
So i tooked the part02 and used imgfstodump to create the dump folder
then i used pkgtool to create the two folders: oem and sys.
I copied them to udk's kitchen after renaming the original folders (that came with the kitchen)
then i ran the buildos.exe and build rom.bat
I flash my polaris with the new created nbh
But surprise:
It didn't boot
It got stucked at the boot screen showing me the versions.
(i had to flash from sd to make it work again)
Can someone tell me what did i do wrong ?
Or can someone make a tutorial on how to backup your original configuration, and make it ready to flash ? (i mean rom, spl and anything that might be neded)
Thanks in advance.
LE:My phone is from Orange and i unlocked it long time ago, but these days i convinced someone to dump the files from another orange phone.
I will get the files in a few days, but i figured i would do some tests before that and i used for the above procedure a dump from a forum member
Dump_Rom_Htc_Touch_Cruise_styprod_SFR_original_vodafone_FRA.rar.
Would that have been the problem ?

can anyone help me pls
i think a wiki on recontrsuction of dumped rom will be great adition.
