Need help analysing a non-Windows Mobile ROM .nbh file

I have a diagnostic .nbh image for Hermes devices. When copied to the storage card and started in bootloader mode, the device will boot the image and enter a diagnostics sort of mode. The utility ends after a bit when some "security checks" fail. I'd like to analyse the file but I'm having some trouble. I am somewhat experienced in disassembling ARM code, but I'd like to start at a higher level than that. I can convert the file to a .nb using the tools available on the forums, but I can't seem to break it down any further from there. Is anyone here familiar with the .nb file format? When I attempt to use the tools that convert a .nb to a ROM dump it fails saying "Not an img file" or something like that. It reads as a straight binary file in IDA so I'd have to manually identify an entry point in order to analyse it further.
The interface of the diagnostic mode looks similar to what is displayed when a ROM is being updated - a gray screen with a blue system font.
I can tell from looking at the .nb that there is significant functionality that I would like to check out further.
Any help?

an automatic Ruu tool

As you know,AVG and other anitvirus's usually detect a virus in Custom_RUU.exe. It's so discommodious, although it was false error,because you must disable your antivirus while downloading and flashing the ROM.
My ruu tool was made by winrar and bat file.
Download this Ruu.zip from attachement,extract the Ruu.exe from Ruu.zip
Put you nbh file into the same directory,double click the Ruu.exe,it works now
!
First it decompressing files ,and then run the rom.exe,flashing automatically.
If there is no nbh file or too many nbh files in the directory,it will stop and notice the message.
It will antomaticlly delete all the files except Ruu.exe and nbh file,just like before you double click it.
It passed in the windows vista
enjoy.
I'm sorry for my bad English.

Nice tool, but you forgot to tell that this RUU does a Hard Reset after flashing !
So my Device needs to be configured completly new !
That´s lot of work i did not count with

How to extract the USB driver from the Acer executable package

There are times when a driver package simply will not install properly leaving Windows in a state where a a single component is missing or is linked to the incorrect driver or a dummy driver. In these cases Windows must be coaxed into finding the correct driver.
Go into control panel/system/device manager with the tablet hooked up. Look for devices with the yellow ! exclamation point.
Some drivers when you download them can be extracted directly from the package. Unfortunately the Acer USB executable keeps you from doing this directly. But, there is a way to get to the driver package and copy it.
Open an Explorer window. Navigate to C:\Users\<youruserprofile>\AppData\Local\Temp
That folder is technically hidden, if you can't see it, you'll have to go to the menu under tools/folder options and check 'Show hidden files and folders'. You may have turn on the menu bar by going to 'Layout' on the sidebar.
Note: Even if you can't see the AppData folder upon entering your profile directory, you can also navigate to it by appending \AppData to the path on the address bar.
Change your view to 'Details' and then sort by date. Leave that window as is.
Unzip the the Acer USB driver executable package. This will leave you with a file called "ICONIA TAB USB Driver Setup.exe"
Run the executable and select the language and then click 'next', and just leave it open and don't do anything. At this point the setup will extract the driver package from the executable.
Now go back to the Explorer window open to the temp folder. Scroll until you can see the newest folders (they should have the current date and time). The setup will have created 2 folders. One is the actual setup, the other is the drivers. On my machine, the driver folder name is "{2736D2C2-2104-4AA0-BEB9-091B78D38D7D}" but this may differ on yours.
Of the two created folders, the folder that has about 20 .ini files in it is the one you want. Go back up and make a copy of this folder to a different location where you can find it easily (right click and copy/paste or drag and drop).
Once you've copied this folder, rename it to something useful like "Acer A500 USB driver".
You can now close the setup. When you do, the setup will delete the folders in Temp.
You now have a folder with the full driver package.
Fixing missing or B0rken drivers:
Go to back to control panel/system/device mangler. With the tablet hooked up, look for any exclamation points related to USB or tablet. Right click on the non-working item and select "Update Driver Software". Then select "Browse my computer for driver software". Browse to the folder you copied and select it and click OK.
Windows should acquire and install the driver properly.
I have used this in ICS, where the tablet connects as a media drive but will not establish an ADB connection (Acer Composite ADB Interface).

This is from memory, and a few weeks old.
But from what I recall there is an additional step for the 1.06.1500 download, it does not extract the drivers directly but a msi package that contains the drivers.
So the steps would be something like:
Download the driver package
Unzip the driver package
Run the setup.exe
Just leave it running untill you have completed the next steps.
When started setup.exe file will extract a msi package into a subdirectory of %tempdir% (should be C:\Users\<youruserprofile>\AppData\Local\Temp as mentioned earlier)
Look in %tempdir% for the extracted .msi file
Extract the .msi file (using winrar of whatever you prefer that can read .msi)
It contains among other things the driver dll and inf files
Copy the files you want somewhere else

Well, that work, for the first step. Now i have to install the APX driver... And this is not working with these instructions... Any new Ideas? Thanks anyway

When I got stuck there, I fixed it by unplugging the Acer A500 from the PC's USB port.

GT-P1010 download mode Odin windows 8 problem solved!

Hello Everybody, this is my first post on XDA forum and i hope it helps people facing my same problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1010 and Odin, on my Windows 8 64-bit won't recognize it in Download Mode. So, after lot of trying i finally solved the problem in this way:
-search in google: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe (22.8mb)
- rename the file with .rar extension in order to open it with winrar (windows 8 doesn't run the exe, it gaves me error) and extract it on a new directory in the desktop.
-in Windows Device Manager, right click on "SAMSUNG USB DRIVER" (with the yellow triangle) and then choose update driver.
-select "choose the driver from a directory" and select the directory on the desktop previously created.
i think this may work also on other devices.
hope it helps.
(sorry for my bad english xD)

QFIL program files?

Hi,
Does anyone know if firmware is available containing qualcomm programmer files for HTC 10 EVO chipset MSM8994?
Alternatively is it possible to create rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files from firmware or from working phone?
