Edit Prophet ROM's

Hello, I have searched these forums and the web but it seems I am unable to find an answer to this...
How can one edit the ROM's that are available for various Prophet phones? What I want for starters is to be able to browse the content of the nk.nbf file, and copy several files out of it. I am not interested in re-packing the firmware to add new features (yet).
I've seen some custom firmwares around, so this must be possible... but how? The tools I've found like "xda3nbftool" don't seem to work... maybe an already decrypted nk.nba file instead?
Sorry if the answer is obvious, please point me in the right direction...
Thanks in advance,
Mihnea

[SOLVED] How do chefs change "Model No"?

[I asked this in the wrong forum previously -- sorry for the repeat topic]
I would like to understand where the Model No string comes from. This value is shown in device info and apparently checked by some software to determine if it's running on "known" or "supported" phones (e.g., Bing).
For example this is "T-Mobile_LEO" on a US HD2.
How does a chef influence this value, and more importantly, is it possible for me to change it without needing a new ROM image or having to reflash (e.g., via the registry, or updating a file, etc)?

Some pieces of software simply check model.txt (in the windows folder).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"DeviceModel"="XV6875"

can be used
Just do a search for the model number shown in device info in total commander (do a search in the registry section), and see what comes up.

User-Agent is possible, but I don't think he's referring to the others. He said "T-Mobile_LEO", but HTC won't show out code names in these places except User-Agent. Maybe the OP can specific this question?

On an HD2, Settings tab -> "About Phone" -> Phone Identity
Bing picks this up:
NOTE: the above is on a cooked ROM where the chef has gratuitously changed the Model No (on a stock ROM, it's something like T-Mobile_LEO). Unfortunately this causes Bing to think it's in beta mode because it doesn't recognize the phone it's running on. I want to know if I can change it back without reflashing.

Thanks for the tips, folks. Both registry settings mentioned above have "T-Mobile_LEO" in them.
However \windows\ModelName.txt contains the value the chef changed it to ("HTC HD2").
Is it possible for me to change ModelName.txt even though it's a ROM file?
Secondarily I'm also curious about how the registry values got initialized to T-Mobile_LEO -- where specifically did *that* string come from, given that ModelName.txt contains a different string?

I created a cab with the WM6.1 SDK and it worked. My phone identifies as a T-Mobile_LEO and Bing (after being uninstalled and reinstalled) stops identifying itself as beta.
Thanks for the tips folks.

Ok happy ending lets change the name as OP didnt do it

Yes, you can. Copy it out and edit it, then use 3rd-party file explorers such as Resco or Total Commander to overwrite the ROM file. The identity string is also a registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"Name"="T-Mobile_LEO"

May I know for my knowledge what does this [OP] indicate?

I have searched my kitchen endlessly for the T-Mobile_LEO string that shows up as per picture one in the earlier post, and cannot find it. The ModelName.txt file contains the correct text (as I have a Touch Pro 2).
The reg key that seems to set this is HKLM\system\platform\OEMString but I cannot find the source of this in the kitchen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any further sugegstions? I am at a loss with this as to where this is being set. My best guess is Manila and that is why the search is not picking it up? I am no good with manila so am seeking guidance.
Cheers

It depends which kitchen or tools you are using.
In Oskitchen you can find it in 'NBH Structure.xml'
It contains the rom version and settings to create the nbh.
The kitchen uses nbImageTool.exe made by Da_G which reads this file to create the nbh.

Thank you for the reply.
The nbh structure.xml correctly identifies my device as a RHOD 300. The T-Mobile_LEO must be coming from somewhere else.
I use OsKItchen and the source dumped rom was from a Rhodium and so my OEM and device profile comes from that. The erroneous model no must be coming from an EXT package as far as I can see.

If you are looking for a package I would say Oemversion.

If you have swype, it would probably be coming from there.

Aaaahhhhh - now that would explain why I cannot find any reference to it in my kitchen. I could never get swype to work as an EXT package the way I wanted so it installs within XDA-UC.
Time to pull that cab apart I think.

If you do change the Model name, Swype probably won't work. It looks at the model name.

this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
this algorithm deodeksa other devaysakh with android 2.3. * and port drivers
put the logs of the work done for the analysis!
and if successful, run any custom firmware files with deodeksirovannymi - in enclosure attached archive folder deodeksirovannoy

[IDEA][Installer] Astoria installer for W10M Unsupported devices

Thinking of a new method of installing AoW, and I think I have found a way to install AoW without the Dev update on the latest release of W10M.
How many of you would want something like this done? It would require full interop/cap unlock with 1st/2nd/3rd party permissions unlocked as well using the Root Tool.
I am starting research on this now to see if it is worth while.
Let me know peeps!

If this would manage to skip the device hardware check and allow us to run project astoria on 512MB RAM devices then I am really interested and ready to test.

Thanks, I am still doing a lot of research to see if this is even possible, but I have the AoW files for P.A. I just need to figure out the registry entries, and where each file goes.
Might be awhile, but I will let you know when I have an alpha installer.

I already tried adding the files and registry entries myself, some of the registry entries can't be written, at least not by any registry editor released until now, also did the downgrade and update with an other device's entries trick to try to enable it so I now seem to have all the aow files in their place and the entries are also there (at least the entries I know about) yet it doesn't work so at least for users of devices with 512MB RAM this might not be possible (I think that somehow the android build/hyper-v implementation/something else check the hardware and don't allow it to boot on 512MB RAM).
I am still willing to test but I think that even if you manage to find and write all the registry entries you might need an other tester with a (hardware wise) better device to actually find out if it's working or not.

Well I have a Lumia 640 which is not supported yet, but will be in the future. 1GB RAM Quad-Core

i can test if you want i have a lumia 625....

UPDATE: I think I am getting close to a solution. if someone who has astoria on their device already could you rip all the files from "C:\Windows\System32\aow" from your phone, zip them up and send them to me in a private message? It would be of GREAT help to make sure I have the latest files.
Thank you.

Old post, but I'm interested.
I have the files, go pm.

I would venture to say anyone with a high spec windows 10 mobile device is extremely interested in this. I think heathcliff is researching this. if astoria could be ported to the latest build of windows 10 mobile..

Realistically this would only work on Nokia, which requires a special DLL to be used in the project to set/create registry items.

You need a lot more than that, me and other people are working on this. I already pushed all the astoria files and dlls, and restored the service key and values to trigger the dlls. It needs more than that to work in newer builds, when i mean newer builds i refer to 10586.x or higher .

Hey thanks for the reply, I already know this, but thanks for the information! However, I have long since abandoned this project (see date of my OP and the post you quoted). Cheers!:good:

If you really want to work on this, i can give you all the files i've got on my research aswell as the registry keys that you can import with interop tools. Since i had to format my pc and such, didn't install anything related to windows phone, so i left the project in the trunk but, as i said, if you really want to work on this i can provide you with the files and keys.

Yep!

Well... I will take it!
Just upload it to a download server for example MEGA.CO.NZ
And and the download link to me via private messages.
If everything would succeed and I will finally make it to the finish, I will make a program that will install Astoria onto your phone via just pressing a button!
You can also check out my other software that I made and published to xda developers, I will be very happy if one of them will help you fixing problems with your phone (if you have problems of course) or installing Windows 10 Mobile onto your phone with just 3 clicks!
Good luck!
