NHB extracting problems with 7zip and winrar

im trying to extract the nhb file from the open touch biggie ver 4.0. im on my last step and ive been looking around all day on how to extract that file. i have 7 zip and winrar and ive tried to use both but they would not work (i mean im know doin something right, lol) ive been reading all day because im reluctant to ask on here but i need help. what am i donin wrong. i read the noobs guide, the wiki guide and just bout every guide on here so please if you know can u help me. i just need this last step to finish my first flash

you downloaded the file, right? you should open the zip/rar file with 7zip or winrar. Then, drag/extract the file to your hardspl/uspl folder

yea i did dl it...that must be the step that i am missing dragging it to the hard spl folder. i used winrar to extract the files from the folder. then when the box comes up with the file drag it to the hard spl folder, then click that ruu folder? i think i might have to go back a re-read that last step because ive been so focused on getting that file out that i forgot what to do. thanks in advace for answering me

problem fixed. i was overthing things..after i downloaded the biggie file i extracted the file using 7 zip then i drug the file (nhb) and put it in the rom utility folder and ran it. problem solved this site is great. hopefully whoever else is searching for this problem finds this andit helps

Signing Structure and Contents

Ok, I've been trying this for 2 hours now and have read a dozen tutorials, heres all I need to know and if someone could help that would rock. I need to get an update.zip with 2 apks in it com.htc.framework.apk and framework-res.apk
I've tried a dozen different ways one way it says its missing the update script but most it just plain doesnt work, it seems when I sign it it puts the folder inside the zip and throws it all out of wack. Do i just zip a plain folder with nothing but those two files and the update-script? or is there something else I have to put in there?
With some help and an asprin maybe my headache will go away. Thanks in advance.

You need to put them in a folder called framework.then put that folder in a folder named system. Then zip the system folder with meta-inf folder. So you should endup with a zip that has two folders one the system folder with framework in it and the other folder should be the meta-inf.

Thank you. Just figured it out after testing a bunch of different ways of doing it, now I got that done and when I unpack it everything seems to be in order. I used fresh-pre-kitchen signing tool and it makes an update-script for me. However somethings messed with it and I dont think its my signing, its just not booting for me.

[Q] deodex problem

5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
Can someone tell me where I find this file, lol I just cant find it.
8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
I cant find these files either, I also did step 4 without deleting the guava.odex file, once I find out where the files are should I just start over or what. I know this is probably a stupid question but Im lost and I have searched for the answer everywhere before asking.

1. It's located in the same folder you ran the "Main" application from, once you finished option 3, locate "origi_frame" folder and navigate to "guava.odex" file to delete it, its right between framework-tests file and ime file.
2. The "done_app" & "done_frame" is located in the same location as the "Main" application.

They are not in the .zip... they are generated after some of the steps are done in the cmd and placed where ever the file was placed when you unzipped it and started with step 1. PM me and I will help you on gtalk

In the directory/folder that you unzipped xUltimate to and where the "Main.exe" executable is that you are running (most likely called xUltimate-v2.2.2), it should have created the following sub-directories:
(after successfully pulled the original system files by selecting option 1 & 2 of "main.exe")
origi_app
origi_frame
(after deodex was successfully run in option 3 & 4 of "main.exe")
done_app
done_frame

Unable to flash custom bootscreen

Hi I downloaded this android peeing on Apple logo bootscreen, it installed well so I got too excited and wanted to put tux hammering the Windows logo before android pee on the Apple, I made all 70 png's but did not touch anything either than creating the images. I then zipped them according to the original names but when I flash it I get ..... E: wrong digest, system/media/bootanimation.zip
I have tried several times but no luck, yet the original one would easy install. Help guys
Sent from my HTC Hero VillainRom 12, flykernel11 using XDA App

any idea someone

You probably need to sign the update zip, possibly change the install/flash location. Upload what you have in a zip and I'll make one for ya
Edit: and explain what I did

Too bad everyone doesn't do that.

I have decided to change the part1 folder images with custom ones, I will upload the whole zip later so when you help me I won't have to re edit it again, thanx for your replies

Apologies as this is long overdue. Finally had some free time this weekend
Attached are both the working bootscreen AND the original for those who want to see what was changed between the two.
Edit: added the non-signed bootscreen.zip for reference as well. Never know who may want to look at it.
Setup
Extracted the zip (original_doesntflash.zip) into its own directory
Created the META-INF folder
Deleted the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files
Created the "com" folder inside META-INF
Inside the "com" folder I created another folder named "google"
Inside "google" create a folder named "android" <- forgot about this step
Inside there I placed the "update-script" (if you want to know how to make one of these by hand refer to my post HERE)
Added both folders (META-INF and system) to a zip - in this case named it "bootscreen.zip"
Signing The Zip
I'm running linux currently so I do it slightly different, but I'm assuming the majority of you guys and gals are windows users. If that's the case follow these directions:
Go HERE and download AvaboxV2
Extract the AvaboxV2.zip where you want it. Personally I'd made a separate AvaboxV2 folder in my AndroidSDK dir. But the desktop still will work
Copy the newly created zip (bootscreen.zip) into the "Auto-Sign" folder found in AvaboxV2
As per the README.txt:
Start a cmd prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR (not really needed if running Win7)
cd <to the directory of the Auto-Sign folder> [Example: cd C:\AndroidSDK\AvaboxV2\Auto-sign]
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 bootscreen.zip bootscreen_signed.zip <- same command as used in linux, at least for me
Press enter...wait...wait...done
Congratulations you now have a working/flashable bootscreen zip

thanks mate I will download it today, thanks for the tutorial man its highly appreciative, thanks a lot

[Q] Quick and Noobish question(Yes I have searched)

Ok this pertains to the ROM builds for MAGLDRv1.13 with CMW. When i downloaded this rom >this ROM it came in as a .JAR file. Now where do I go from there? I have tried putting it inside the SD card through USB MassStg but nothing And I do apologize if this has been asked but I've been trying to fix this for the past 4 hours.

Hi,
not sure why it downloads as a .jar file,but try:
Rename the .jar file to have a .zip extension (if your download program does not recognize .jar files)

If its a MAGLDR install then extract file to folder on PC. Connect phone using USB and select USB flasher in MAGLDR options. Then for that particular rom then run the file called DAF.exe.

if you have a jar file, you must have clicked the wrong link. it will be (and ive just checked) a zip file.
i suspect you want this link
