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
I have a G1, and I tried to get root. I downgraded to RC29, and then downloaded the recovery.img file and the Hard SPL, downloaded telnet and all that, then tried to flash the spl as update.zip to the phone using the recovery console (i think that's what it's called, i pressed home+power to get there). it keeps giving me an error message "E:No Signature (26 files) E:Verification failed". i tried to download another one, and it gave me the same message. i've been looking for a solution for six hours and nothing helped ;( anyone think they can help me?
Did you try editing the zip in any way? Did you extract it/etc? You need to take the downloaded zip, rename it update.zip, and put it on the sdcard. Do not change any files in it or extract it. Hell, don't even open it.

Doesn't sound like you're using the SPL update.zip. That updater only contains one file.
@gary13579 the only thing i did to the zip was rezip it, cos my mac automatically unarchives everything when i download it.
@jashu do you know anywhere i can get the SPL? i downloaded it from the post on this forum..

That would be the problem. You're going to have to find a way to download it without unarchiving it.
There's a "signature" added to all updates, which tells the phone whether it's a legitimate update or not. When you re-archive it, it loses that signature.
This may be redundant and borderline stupid but here it goes.
When I use some of the download sites, I get a file with a .zip.jar extension. Is this something I need to extract to get the zip file, or do I simply rename it to a zip file? I've tried the rename thing and cant get the update.zip file to flash. I've tried a couple of browsers and both pc and mac, and still get the .jar on the end initially. Can anyone help?
Usually they should just end in zip. I don't know why they would end in jar. Where are you downloading from?
Well tried it again using firefox and it worked this time. Safari for mac always seems to have that issue. Thanks
Hey everyone...not sure where I'm supposed to ask this, so I put it in general.
As I am on a Mac and use HardSPL to flash ROMs, it is not possible for me to upgrade to an official ROM because it is in .exe format. So, I need someone to post the RUU_SIGNED.nbh from the official ROM update (WWE: 1.66.405.2).
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out and provide the NBH file or point me in the right direction. Thanks
im not aware of any fix with your issues but to use bootcamp and use Windows OS.
You can also try Parallels or Vmware Fusion. Im just not sure if it's gonna work.
i would say maybe. =)
now, regarding .nbh, you can probably post a holla down at the Rom developments section.

I'm not trying to download Bootcamp, Parallels or anything else like that...I just want someone (who has a PC) to grab the RUU_SIGNED.NBH file and post it here. I will send a paypal donation to the person that does so. Thanks
Please can someone post the RUU_SIGNED.NBH from the officially 1.66.405.2 WWE ROM update? I will compensate!
the exe file is actually a zip file. No need to run it. just change the extension to .zip instead of .exe, open it with any decent zip tool (winzip winrar or whatever) and extract the RUU_signed.nbh
download an file archive programme and open the official EXE file with it and you can do it yourself!

I just tried using winrar and it did not work. It will not extract the files. Are you on a PC? If so, it would only take you 2 minutes to grab the file I need and post it here. Thanks.

its a 200 meg file, so sorry no it wont 'just take me a minute'. I can promise you (as can everyone else here) that the .exe file you download is just an executable zip, and we all generally right click it, choose open with winrar, and it opens to show the ten or so files inside, one of which is RUU_Signed.nbh. Then drag n drop the file from there.
If you really are getting an error, you should maybe download it again, something isn't right.
I'm on a Mac also, but I always flash via XP on a Bootcamp partition. I just leave all the flashing stuff there, and only use it for that.
You should also be aware that if you flash the 1.66 rom from sd card you will overwrite your SPL to version 1.6 which means you may have trouble installing HSPL later.

I don't care about that so much. I'm trying to sell the phone and want to sell it as stock as it can be. I'll just flash 1.48...thanks for everyone's help. I'll stick to Android

Exactly. By happy luck/accident, I was unable to do so before I knew this when I first got my HD2, now I have (thanks to everyone here) HSPL installed....but I realize now that If I had been able to install it, I probably would have, not knowing any better, and given myself a lot more difficulty in the process. This is the best source of phone info anywhere on the planet.

that rom will set spl to 3.03.0000 if flashed from sd card, and you would use hspl4 to re apply hspl, should you want to.
I already have hspl to 3.03.0000 and can not load anything when connected to USB, I was trying to go back to hspl 2.08 so i can load recovery. Is there another way.

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.
