Hi, Im trying to flash to the offical WM6 rom using the SD card. I've gone over the wiki's how to instructions but what I'm confused about is all it says to do is copy and rename the nbh file into the card. But what about the rest of the files? The nbh is just a few hundred kb, and the origional file is over 50MB. Is this really all I need? Or do other files need to be put in the sd card?
Thanks
what program do you use to extract files?
here are the steps i followed:
original file------> opened with winrar and extracted Ruu_inside.exe
Ruu_inside.exe file------> opened with winrar and extracted Ruu_signed.nbh (abt 90mb)
an then used nbhtool by Dutty and the guide by Mrvanx .
Good flashing
J.
Thanks, I am using winrar also. Which guide my mr.vanx are you speaking of? I seem to remember quite a few guides by him.
Here is the link , It's about downgrade but passages are the same for extract and rebuild a rom
where you'll put os and ext rom and radio( this late only if you like, i
did one for os and ext.rom and one for radio to flash apart).
Take apart ipl and spl you don't need them.
ah last but not least.. use Customruu.exe to flash your new rom.
Good reading J

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, and am not quite satisfied with the ROM they installed.
I want to try some different ROMs, like the O2 Exec, but I want to be able to go back to the original.
How can I create a back-up of the ROM, Extended ROM, and Radio ROM that I can put back at a later date ?
I've already seen grab_it by buzz, but that only makes a .bin file and I have no idea how to put that back if I ever want to revert to this state :/
Thank you,
TB
Please use the SEARCH button as this has been discussed already.
ANyway to help you do the following:
1. Download the latest T-Mobile ROM (the exe file) from the XDA Dev FTP site. Then extract this to a folder, say EXPERIMENT
2. Put the BIN file there
3. Go to Buzzdev.net nad follow the procedure to ENCODE/DECODE ROM. This will change the original nk.nbf (the OS) with your BIN file. using HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe
4. Then just put the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file into this directory also.
Now you have your OS backed up ready to install to a device in the EXPERIMENT directory. Now just make sure the T-Mobile ROM you downloaded has the same radio ROM. If not, download a verison with same radio rom and replace the radio_.nbf file with the downloaded version.
Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there.
Hope this helps
What do you do with the dump.bin file though?
Rename it to nk.nbf
Ha - that didn't work.
Did you follow the ENCODE/DECODE procedure in BUZZ's site?

Jorgee,
What you mean with:
"Backing up the ExtendedROm has to be done manually. Just transfer all contents to a alternate directory in the PC then just put it back to replace what's already there"
- What is the PPC folder where I find the content of ExtendedROM?
- How I can trasfer to PC, with ActiveSync? Sometimes I received error messages like "unable to convert file format" or something like that...
- How I can transfer back, is not the ExtendedRom locked?
Let me know...
Luca
To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.

Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...
Greetings guys,
does any one know about the file extension .nb0 for ROM image? if yes how can i convert it to NBH file extension?
Thanks
Um, isn't that a Wallaby extension?
Sounds like it'd break something if you put it on your Hermes!
No Its a Hermes ROM, its 118MB!
Do you know how to covert it to NBH??
Thanks
Where on earth did you get it from?
Have you tried renaming it to an NBH and attacking with with Dutty's Rom Koch or something similar?
The HTC green wm6 that was posted awhile back was an nb0 at first, and the ext just needed renamed to nb..do not rename to nbh, but with an nb that should be an os or radio etc, and it wouldn't be prudent to flash a 118 mb os, so just delete that poop.
That isnt even a Hermes rom at 118mb, you're just asking for a brick.
Is it possible to modify the file that the RUU writes to the device. I've noticed that when the RUU is installing, it copies a "RUU_signed.nbh" file to somewhere. Im guessing that it then extracts/writes RUU_signed.nbh to the device.
SO would it be possible to replace the RUU_signed.nbh with one that you get frm some custom ROM?
bump. Oh and by the way, if it helps, I'm have a Wing/Atlas/Herald.
I think the idea here is to figure out where the RUU_Signed.nbh file is stored before being written to the device.
Any help?
use winrar with the exe upgrade file...
oh wow. never thought of that. gonna try. hopefully this opens up some sorta new frontier in rom flashing. probably not, but the possibility to be able to flash via modded ruu sounds cool. feasability?
sorry for the double post, but i've now managed to disassemble the RUU via 7-zip and have inserted a custom rom in place of the normal RUU_signed.nbh file. Heres the funny part. How how do a i reassemble it. Maybe it's possible to just RUU without reassembling, but it makes everything easier to manage
i would like to know if there is a way to extract files out of a nbh file.
i mean i would like to use some software of a rom i do not want to install complete.
i changed to htc p3300 rom for stability.
but i want to use some other software i do not easy find on the internet.
so extract of a modded rom to get cab or setup files would be nice.
Yes! You can extract files from a NBH file with cooking tools.
But is not as easy has it seems.
Look arround for cooking tools and you see that is not has easy has you could think...:d
Cheers
i knew i can extract that big nbh file in small nbh files for os, radio and so on.
but is there also a tool for disassemble os.nbh file?

Have you flashed hardSPL?
i thought i did
i have had to right cause im running custom ROM now
hit bbotlegger SPL-0.85.olinex
what is your problem exactly? your first post isn't very descriptive
i keepp getting 0068002
once i downloaded the NEW ROM on desktop i renamed it rhodimg.nbh. put that on my FAT32 SD card main mem just cleked and dragged took a lil time says 149 mb then it was done copying. so i took trhe SD and placed in cell phone hit tri color so it could pick it up but it just stated those #s and wont let me boot up the new ROM from the sd.........
149MB? that's quite small for the rhodium, was it a *.RAR or *.7Z? if so, those are zip archives, you need something like 7ZIP to open them

Could it be its not in capitals like RHODIMG.nbh not rhodimg.nbh?

Nah, it's not case sensitive
Try a different MicroSD card, preferably a different brand. I remember with the Kaiser, some MicroSD card models from specific manufacturers (I believe Kingston) would just not flash from MicroSD.
It happens when you have these hidden files on the storage card, for example a file name .Rhodium.nbh exist on the storage, then Rhodium.NBH wont be executed.
If you check "Show all files", you'll see alot of these fragmented files starting with a ( . ), so just delete them and flash away.
THANKS @ EVERY1 for the HELP

That's a RAR file, not a cab. Besides, cab files don't contain ROMs, and won't flash from SD. It sounds like you already have a RAR extracting utility, but if you don't, download any RAR extracting utility (I use 7-zip and Universal Extractor). Then, rename the file extension of the file you downloaded back to .rar (so its icon is 3 books with a belt again), extract it, and rename the nbh file inside the RAR to rhodimg.nbh, if it isn't called that already. Take the NBH file and place it on your sd card, and all will be well
D Bo/ AWSOME !!
i download Universal Extractor

Cant wait to try this ROM !!
