heh, i`ve researched on the loox n5x0 series (htc maria?) rom format. now we can create custom roms.
Loox n5x0 OS_xxxU.nbf header format
total 42 bytes header, the rest is not crypted os rom image (what we usually call nb0 or n_d)
4 bytes - model name (N500, N520 or N560) + 11 bytes empty (filled with 0x00) +9 bytes version (e.g. 1.22.0001) + 1 byte 0x20 (space) +3 bytes language (e.g. ENG, ITA, GER) + 2 bytes empty (0x0) +4 bytes - reversed crc32 checksum (if we have, for example, 1163FCED, then we write ED FC 63 11) + 4 bytes - size of decrypted part (reversed somehow? we have 2100000 and write 00001002) + 4 bytes - rom base flash address (seems it it 80400000, we type 00 00 04 80, don`t play with it)
all this is true for OS_yyyU.nbf ( yyy means rom version), bootloader nbf is coded otherwise, it is usually named BL_xxx_G3.nbf or bl_xxx_G4.nbf. xxx - bl version. I suppose you delete file bl_xxx_G4.nbf or bl_xxx_G3.nbf. new pda`s come with g4 flash, it will be killed with g3 update. and, anyhow, bootloader update is always dangerous and not recommended.
wait a bit - in some days i`ll post a tutorial how to extract os rom image from n500/n520 and probably n560 pda.
Any progress on this? I have a N560 and am very interested in your tutorial. Thanks.
Any news in the N560 area??
I am eager to update the software of my N560... I would like to try the new Windows mobile 6. It's pretty annoying that this really good device cannot be upgraded somehow..
Well, hope to hear something soon..
PS: By the way, you guys are great doing all this stuff
Is loox 5x0 == htc maria? Any prooves?
it's htc dresden)) i'll post aku 3.5.2 for c550/n560 this week
Man that would be awsome!!!
Nice to hear this one!!!
Waiting for the goodie
Thank you man!!

No WM6 yet, but
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/805977/n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar - here is the rom with aku 3.5.2 for n560
For Loox C550
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/808633/PocketLOOXC550FlashTool.7z - here is the flasher for c550, download it, download aku3.5.2 for n560, overwrite the files from the n560 update and open OS_213u.nbf with winhex and change n560 to c550
If you have german/french/italian/spanish pda but want to use this update, edit the nbf with winhex and change ENG to FRA/GER/ITA/SPA
Be sure to remove the password (fsc secure lock) before flashing
getting my n560 ready to flashing... go-go-go!
Does not work!!!
I have a spanish N560 pda. I wanted to upgrade its rom.
I did everything as indicated:
- open pda and put it in the cradle
- connect cradle to the power and the usb to my WinXP laptop
- in my XP machine activesync (4.5 spanish version) connects and recognizes my pda
- check there is no password protection in the pda (there was none before)
- unpack n560.Alex_DFR_.AKU.3.5.2.rar and open with WinHex OS_213U.nbf; change ENG to SPA; save file
- execute PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool; in the end I get this error:
"The language in this Flash Image update () differs from that on your device (SPANISH)!"
Well, I did again and again and again... same error...
Any suggestions???
PS: I would like to put its new rom in english, if it's possible!
Thank you
Hi sp3dev,
your update is quite intersting but I have two questions before I want to flash:
1. is the ROM affected by flashing your image, if flashing fails, can the N560 hard reset to original state?
2. Is there a tool which can fetch a complete image from N560 (with ROM)?
Can you give us a short info how you cook the image?
Where do you get the HW depended drivers (e.g WLAN, display..)?
Do you have any links? I have looked a long time
to find any info about upgrade the N560 or cooking Loox images.
Thanks
SPAschreiben not so, but ESN. then is OK ONE
I have with these Romes update. All OK ONE
Stucked
Hi sp3dev and everyone,
I did the upgrade and it went fine, the only thing was that the keyboard was English, I thought there were all in the ROM, and I wanted to get back to the first ROM, so and here comes my problem, I executed
pdocwrite nk.nb0 0 0x2300000
The result of this is that it get stucked at the very first screen, Is there any way to get back? How could I upload a ROM to the N560 in this case?
Thanx
Hi,
so how it looks with WM6 ROM. It will be great to have WM6 on my N560

It's not there due to a bug. Likewise the transcriber does not work and hangs the system.
I suggest waiting until they fix it and upgrade then, if it is vital for you. I will wait for two reasons: it is probably buggy yet (only two known bugs now though), and I am loath to re-install everything from scratch for the next couple of weeks
Besides, people experiment there with pool size (with some trade-off in RAM) which may yield an even faster machine.
Also if you upgrade, you must not use an old (all-)system backup. Just re-install everything single piece of software you use. Note that some software may lose its registration since you will have a *different* PPC with new (and unofficial) ROM.
... and "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" remember?
AKU 3.5.2
Hi sp3dev,
I thought that in AKU 3.5.2 WPA2 was supported. If I'm right this is supported since AKU 3.5. After upgrade I noticed it wasn't in this release. Is it a mistake? or I'm really wrong.
and "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" remember?

True, but i can't rembemer not installing any MS beta ;-)

i do like the rom..
Hi, everyone,
I have tried to update my EXEC to WM6.0, I have tried a lot of different ROM released in the forum, it were good experiences , but none of them appear to stable, finally, I flashed my EXEC back to O2 official ROM,
when I flash it , I extracted all of the files out to a folder , replace the file radio.nbf with the latest version 1.15 (can be found in the forum), it will make the phone appear to grasp new signal quicker while you roaming between cell stations. then run ROMUpgradeUt.exe to finish the upgrading process
now it is really difficult to find the rom----Xda Exec Upgrade v1.30.162.exe , it took me 10 hours to download it from emule (only 2 available source), I have tried to upload it to ftp server of the forum, but failed
I have just uploaded to rapidshare, if anyone can download it and put it onto the ftp server, it will save a lot of friends some time
http://rapidshare.com/files/78099772/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe.html
Thanks so much!But what time is this ROM realesed?And is it newest?
This ROM was released long time ago... Try the ROM for Tmobile 2.00.41(WM5). It's so great: rapid, stable and more ram (after soft-reset, we have >30Mb ram). Good luck guys

Hi guys n gals.
I need help. Here's where I am so far.
Am trying to add SDHC support to a vanilla WM5 rom.
I can get it running up to 4GB support with the genuine HTC update however, when I update with the patched DLLs that are used to for 4GB+ I lose the storage card completely.
Oddly enough I get the same thing with the patched DLL for the HTC Home Plugin.
And yet both run happily on WM6
Ah you can see the connection here can't you??
I am certain WM5 is checking the digital signature in the .dll, finding it invalid and chucking it out. I can resign the .dlls till the cows come home and its still happening.
SO WHAT DO I DO NOW?
Am thinking down this road:
If both work in WM6 then the Digital Signature checking must be not implemented or at least bypassed / told to ignore it by the os.
Question is: HOW???
Anyone know??
Ta.

I haven't been playing with roms for over a year now, but have you tried ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB ? And would you please tell me which is the ROM you're using as base 'cuz I'm planning to build one WM5 ROM too, but use WM6's interface which I hopefully will manage to extract
tsekov,
Thanks for the reply. I am using this rom or at least a variant of it as I am currently developing it. I have security disabled by default and inbuilt into the rom at build time, so it's a bit beyond that. I do have a few more ideas that may work, but please, if you have any other suggestions to bounce about I'd love to hear from you.
Psi
What I meant by base rom was on which rom is your WM5 AKU3.3 rom based? Is the T-Mobile rom? And have you set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a from 0 to 1 ? I think it is done by the disable_security.cab but still you can check it.
Yes that's the base rom, and that registry entry is set to 1 in my cooked rom.

After surfing a little I found out that the Hypercore Kitchen has a Security Signing tool in C:/Core/Tools/WM5Security after you install it. You can download it from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324682
hey, i upgraded my Asus P525 to "Latest WM 6.1 version:
by
Alex[DFR] or sp3dev"
and it works great for me.
now i want to remove it from wm6 to wm5 again and i have the Orginal Rom for Asus P525 (V.3.42 Hebrew), i just need to install the Rom and it will back angain to Wm5? (Its Because i still have guaranty and it demands the manufacturer orginal Rom).
thank you very much,
Itay.
There's no problem. The only thing - you would possibly run ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe on your device before you start to flash it - otherwise you may get Wrong Language message.
thankl you very much.
and where can i find ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe? i have p525 and my Orginal Rom is 3.43 in Hebrew.
Download, extract, copy to your device (MiniSD), run....
For the future come to http://asusmobile.net/board/index.php if interested... It was just opened...
You may need to flash the same ROM 2 times to get the extension ROM and partition configuration back.
And...if you used the official WM6 ROM, the bootloader does not accept WM5 cap files, you need to decode the nb0 file and use that instead.
Hi guys
have a P525, originally purchased in UAE(English).
have sucessfully flashed to various WM6 Mobiz roms, v10, 18, 19 etc
now want to revert back to WM5, as PIM does not transfer, etc and many other programs (from WM5 ) do not work in WM6 environement.
Baut cannot revert back to WM5.
- downloaded various ASUS WM5 ROM, WWE, WWE ARA all versions 3.43 etc
- have tried using both bootloaders 06xxxxx and 07xxxxx
- with any official ASUS ROM, always get the following error
ROM image found :\MiniSD Card \Galaxy.cap
Language(English), is compatable with the device language(Unassigned).
then click System- Rom update , and imiditaely get the error:
ROM update cannot be applied to this regions version!
- i have also tried the ASUS.UnlockLangID ( runing this before attempting above update), but no difference, same error.
- i have also tried changing the local in system properties, to English, Arabic, Thai and reatempt falshing with ASUS WM5 roms but always get same error message as above.
PLEASE HELP
starkwong - what do ytou mean ?
"if you used the official WM6 ROM, the bootloader does not accept WM5 cap files, you need to decode the nb0 file and use that instead. "
how do you do this ? decode the nb0 file ?
can you provide detialed steps please.
Any other assitance would be apreciated, thanks guys

FIXED RealVGA for i780 - no more cprog.exe or shell32.exe errors & working green button & phone
The only problem is a small gap at the bottom of the screen in contacts, if someone has a fix let us know!
http://rapidshare.com/files/183548144/RealVGA_fixed_i780.rar
The ROM must be flashed via Mirage updater.
So far noone reported any problems and this seems to be the latest available WWE ROM, unbranded and with multiple operator settings (mms,wap..)
Some remarks about this update:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1944 (build 20270.1.3.1)
Updated WiFi to 1.0.8.1
Includes Opera Mobile 9.5 (build 2068)
Windows Media Player 10 (10.3 build 20270)
Windows Live 10.6.0042.0300
RealVGA (the one with the fix) works OK - only missing 2 icons in settings tab (Task mgr and domain enroll)
WLM doesen't seem to work with EDGE
Thanks to dcuk7 for dumping the files (HL1) and EFN for his invaluable tools and for starting the whole i780 ROM-cooking craze!
Also credits to Wrath from PPCSG.com for finding the latest official HL2 ALL-IN-ONE UPDATER
Screenshots (plain 128DPI stock after flash)
Hey mate... Can you please post here a few screenshots, please?
thanks..... but who have the wm6.1 russian version ?

That would be probably due to the fact that EFN used the SYS section from HTC Diamond.. so it's really up to you whether you chose a cooked or official ROM. I've had some problems with cooked ROM's (i.e. SMS stopped arriving when a certain number of messages were in the DELETED folder.. MMS didn't work - although I see EFN has posted/integrated a fix for this..) so I will stick to the latest offical HL1 ROM for now while trying to cook my own version..
Will this work on any i780?

Same as with EFN's ROM's - you might experience problems with the mouse/touchscreen .. noone can tell for sure. For me (i780 bought from the USA) it works quite well so far
So em.. anyone want to do their UK orange i780 and then let me know....
Don't have time to make the upgrade right now, maybe later...
Meanwhile, keep posting your experiences with this ROM
Any infos about the meaning (region or operator) of the code MS?
Thanks folks for sharing. Question for inertiax3- can you point me to the right realvga (96dpi) cab file? There seems to be a whole bunch of them here in xda and I dont want to break something in the process of installing the wrong one.
Please advise.
