App for extracting Apache ROM??? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can anyone think of an app that will extract the ROM, ExtROM, and Radio from an HTC Apache (PPC-6700)??
We have tried both romupdate.exe and Buzz's invisible dumper. Niether worked.
What are ppl using to extract the WM5 ROM from the Samsung i730 or the HTC Universal?

Did you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=6515 ?

Yes, won't work. It only copies the RAM...

post is late in the game, but...
use itsutils (pdocread - see wiki for syntax)
or
d2s using offsets from universal
or
nbf-->fat-->imgfs_tools-->dump

U forgot to use HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe it makes nk.nb from nk.nbf
but once more, nk.nb nk.nbf, unless himalaya and universal have absolutely different types of flashing doesnt contain extrom. If i'm not wrong nk.nbf is only and only OS_ROM
and yes, its possible to extract files from OS_ROM as well as from Ext_ROM
no, no, no!
Himalaya roms are decompiled using xda2nbftool.exe
it needs to be supplied with the right password (different for radio, extrom and OS) for the NBF you are decompiling, this will give you a .nba that you can use with mamaich's IMGFStools
to add/delete/decompile.
nbh's, nb's and the typhoon tool have no part in himalaya roms.
sorry Midget i thought that all nbX formats are almost the same ie nbf in Uni contains same things as in Hima. Sorry PatrickJ for misleading U

thank to two
Patrickj,
Search for llbasha's-WM5-AKU35pp16a1 rom in the forum. It is built in with the cooking utilities.
Maybe you can refer here and download the previous version of llbasha's rom with the cooking utilities and instructions:

Artemis Windows Mobile 6 WWE

This ROM is based on the official German O2 ROM:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
- replaced the localized packages
- removed the O2 operator package (Settings and O2 Theme)
Big thanks to rvbcrs for helping and mirroring
I don’t have an Artemis... ok, my girlfriend has one, but she would kill me if I use that... so the ROM has not been tested.
Please report all problems here.
!!! This thread is not for questions about unlocking the device !!!
- In case that you have questions about that open your own thread -
Download the ROM by reading and clicking the red text
Some screen captures: (again thanks to rvbcrs!)
whAT about to compile it to nbh back? for exam use dopod Radio, empty extrom. And flfash it back?
Bepe ..!
this is cool
Thanks a lot
---updated---
Thought to try using the PDAMobiz package and replace the ROM and give it a try even though it's based on pdocwrite.. Result is an error during writing at some time.. So kids don't try this is you don't know how to recover using the bootloader or you'll have a brick.
------
I'm actually flashing it at the moment... I hope I won't regret this..
... but somebody has to try..

Hi,
Can you tell us how you flashed it ? From bootloader results in a CRC/Certificate error.. Using pdocwrite (modified from PDAMobiz) resulted in a somewhat delayed write error here.. So what did I miss ?

What file exactly do you mean (filename pls) ? I only know of the PDAMobiz roms which are installed using a batch file.. The only ARTE I know if the official Dopod firmware update but it doesn't come with a batch file..

is your device orbit ?
is it cid-unlocked ?
then use winrar to unpack the (bepe) wm6 wwe rom in this page (written in red). flashed using bootloader method.
after u get german rom installed , run ARTE os flash utility from xda ftp.

hello
how to run arte flasher on vista 64bit?
thanks
Requires a reset here since the os.nb/windows.nb update never finishes visually.. After that it works fine (after the reset needed during the missing bmp when customization attempts to start), exactly as you described.. Works great
For those wondering.. Works fine under Vista (32 bit version).. No idea about 64 bit version.

I tried to flash it yesterday with the updaterom.bat file and it just stayed copying to my phone so I thought it did not work, but after killing the process after 25 min and resetting my phone I had WWE WM6 on my Artemis, still I think it is strange that pdocwrite never finishes. Apart from that great ROM some minor issues..
Cant download full ROM, only 24 M and stop, tried few times. Can someone upload to different place. Please!!

bepe, can you tell me how much free RAM you have? I hope that you have more than 30 MB by removing all the O2 stuff. I never had more than 30 MB after a hard reset and some of my apps need 30 but I have only 20 now.
I was wondering if the apps e.g. windows live messenger are still in German?

It really is a WWE rom... I replaced all German files and rebuilded (not edited!) the Registry based on the WWE packages. The screencaptures will prove it
I suppose you really know how to do this stuff. Can you tell me which tools I need for "cookin" my own ROM? I'd like to have it in German and with my own Ext ROM, maybe I can get rid of some apps that waste my RAM. I only need the names of the tools, I'd guess they are on the xda-dev ftp server. And how do I extract the ROM from the installation file? In your signature you have a nice GUI for the Hermes stuff, is it the same for the Artemis. If you want you can send me a short PM in German.
By the way, the link should be: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip thats what people say about error 530

[Q]Replace/update OEM packages and other issues...

First of all I'm sorry for my english, hope you can understand me...
I'm going to cook my first ROM...
The idea is to make 2 versions (with/without manila) of a clean "uc capable" rom; what I want to do is take a 1.93 official base and update some oem app and sys (i.e. htc camera and netcf) and remove some others to replace theese with 3t part usefully app (i.e. putting in wktask manager instead htc task).
Now my doubts:
(I've readed a lot of wikies and thread but didn't find a CLEAR answer to all my questions)
1- If I use an official .exe rom as base I obiouvsly find inside it the radio part...have to remove this befor but in base folder due i don't need it for my work? How?
2- I'm able to remove oem pack from my rom base and I'm also able to repack new ones starting from a cab file...but I don't know if it's possible to take (exactly as they are) some oem pack from a stock/custom(when not protected) rom to use in mine...I saw that a lot of cookers use oem pack taken from raphael official roms to update thair roms and I would know if the process to do this is just open the rom, copy the oem and past it in mine... In this case...where can I find a good very update raphael rom?!
3- Opposite than this, for manila I would use the "animated switches" version. I want to downgrade it to the version with theese animations but I don't know if there's a particular process to replace this oem...can you tell me? PS: what is the exact manila version I need to do it?
4- TO UPDATE NETCF TO THE 3.5 VERSION WHAT HAVE I EXACTLY DO? And is the Alexandre's oem pack good for my pourpose?
Thank you a lot and sorry if (maybe) some questions were answered in other threads...I searched and readed a lot but there are too many informations in this forum for a noob/bad english speaker/... like me so I decided to ask!

1. When dumping a ROM, it will dump separately the splashes, radio, os and extrom (if any.) Extract the exe with WinRAR and dump the nbh.
2. When dumping a ROM, it will create packages if ROM is unprotected. A good place of finding a Raph ROM would be the Raphael forums.
3. Delete the old package from kitchen and replace with new one (in your case, the old one, animated).
4. You can find ready made NetCF 3.5 packages. You should delete the old NetCF 2 from SYS folder and replace it with the 3.5

So, to replace OEM, just put out (from a rom) and put in (in mine)...so simple?!
Ahahah...
Please, excuse me for my stupidity...BUT I REALLY NEED AN HELP!!!
(I'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782&highlight=kitchen)

2) I've extracted all files and putted them into Base ROM folder of surface kitchen.
3) clicked on begin and obtained some folders in the kitchwen one
Now if I go into one package folders in OEM (htc gesture in example) i can't see dsm or rgu files, but just dll and .provxml ones...WHY?! I don't think it's good, right? Where is my fault?!
SO SAD...

You have to create the packages!
Don't know the kitchen but it should be like this in every kitchen.
Also, you can check inside provxml file (notepad will do), maybe the rgu (registry entries) are set through provisioning.

confused...
I think I have to create just the packages of apps I would to add...not even all the apps contained in the stock rom!
Looking and reading tutorials in this forum I understood that If I would (i.e.) add/rmv apps to my rom I've just to put its files in base rom and then (after extract all) add/remove what I want. Then rebuild.
But for all others teorically I don't do anything...Is this wrong?

HP iPAQ 21x Custom ROMs-Help Needed!

Hello, I'm new here, and I have been attempting to make two custom ROMs for the HP iPAQ 21x series, and I ran into a huge problem. I have two dump folders, and I can't figure out how to turn either of them into an NBH(or NBF) file. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Edit:Oh, and also, in case anyone was wondering, I'm trying to make them a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and a Windiows Mobile 6.5 ROM, and they are both(as far as I know) clean, except for the HP stuff.
nbh or nbf... ? for what ? it is inpossible to flash it back, you need bldiag.nb0 and hpimage.bin (foxconn format) but fortunatly pdocwrite works fine, so you need to: dump or download dump of imgfs (part02, os) unpack it via imgfstodump, cook to wm 6,1 or 6.5, then convert back to imgfs via imgfsfrom dump, and write via pdocwrite, xip can be also writed by this way, xip is part01, it works but i'm not a rom cooker so I cant cook it myself...
edit: it is also possible to edit marvell obm's and bootloader, but only via linux
edit2: here is my post about ipaq 214 and pdocwrite http://forum.brighthand.com/showpost.php?p=1762892&postcount=4
edit3: it will also works on any 21x and 11x and as I think on other hp devices manufactured by foxconn
I'm sorry elektrownik, but I don't really get what you're saying, I'm not very experienced with this ROM stuff, this is the first time I've ever tried to make one. But in response to what you're asking(I think), I was going to make them NBH files, make a backup ROM image of the device, and then use the HP RUU, which I have made to look for a file called 'RUU_signed.nbh'(what I will name them), to update the device via Activesync connection.
Update:OK, I've managed to get a little further, and now I have two BIN files, and two NB.PAYLOAD files, and I'm pretty close to turning them into NB Files.
But how do you want to sign it for hpruu it need hp cert and key, or did you cracked it. Anyway here is default rom. http://rapidshare.com/files/2236847...n_marked_internally_with_custom_extra_data.7z
Oh, well I didn't know it had to be signed, but in the ROM files which I was basing mine off of(which I thought you made) was an HP digital signature file(.cer) that said it went an HP 21x Image Update, I clicked on it, Windows said it installed the certificate, and then the file dissapeared. I'm not sure if that will help use the HP RUU or not, but I found it kind of odd. Also, if you'd like to take a look at it I can put it up for download somewhere(there was another one).

What's "parameters", I don't know what you mean. Also I don't remember using NBSplit, I started out with a IMG file which I then dumped.
Edit:Oh wait, I see what you mean. I didn't use NBSplit, I was following the attached directions to reconstruct ROM, except it wasn't for the device the file specified, and instead of 'imgfs.bin', I used a file called 'ipaq214.img', and instead of 'Windows.nb' I used a file called 'flash.nb'. And, I'm pretty sure that elektrownik made both files.
lol why you all dont read what i wrote, i have rom, which was reconstructed from dump, but it impossible to flash it from sd like on htc by flash.bin, ipaq 214 need bldiag.nb0 and hpimage.bin to be flashed from sd, but those files never was released so it is impossible to study format in which they coming, 214 can be also flashed from pc, but it need foxconn application and like before hpimage.bin, and there is official metchod - hpruu, but files which it use need to be signed first, we dont have cert and key to sign them, it wold be possible to patch hpruu to delate sign validation but i dont see anyone who working on this, as i wrote only one working metchod is pdocwrite application, i check it and it works, but i'm not room cooker so i cant cook wm 6.1 or 6.5 imgfs...
I think there are quite few topics about it.
It would be maybe better to have EVERYTHING relevant in one so everyone who posesses knowledge can help.
Now it looks that we (you) are inventing hot water... no offence - i appreciate all the hard work you put into this. But we (you) need better cooperation and clean topic.
I am grateful to everyone who share and try to make something. Respect to you all!
Kind regards,

The HP iPAQ 110 has a ROM update on HP's website, is it possible to get any of those files from that?
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=3644061&prodNameId=3644062&swEnvOID=4014&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=hh-59617-3

HP iPAQ 210 Flashing

Hey, sorry to start another thread, but I noticed that on HP's web site there was a ROM Update for the iPAQ 110 series, and I remembered that the reason why the iPAQ 210 couldn't be flashed was because we didn't have certain files needed to flash to it. And, I was wondering if it was possible to get any of those files from it, or maybe even replace the IMGFS partition to make it compatible with the iPAQ 210(and change the OS version too), and use hpruu.exe to flash it to the iPAQ 210, if that's possible that is.
Edit:I have Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 IMGFS(in BIN format), so I don't need anyone to do that.
Well I suppose if that's not possible, is there any way I could use a program like pdocwrite to write the files to the IMGFS partition, and if so, how?
Well, I guess I'll just try to get an HTC Touch HD and flash a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM to it instead of trying to develop one for the iPAQ 210. Oh, well, at least I tried. Here are the 6.1 and 6.5 IMGFS partition files for it in case anyone wants them.
Note:The File Hoster will only allow 10 downloads, so only download if your actually going to do something with it.
