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,

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?

and how to instal nk.nbf with out hpruu?
see post with the link to the tutorial above (post 2)
this is not working. hpruu says to me that the rom is not in hpruu list or in hpruu.ini
in .ini a've renamed the file but nothing same errors???
1. is your device in white bootloader mode(buttons 2+4+reset)?
2. after you put it in the grandle you pushed the calendar button to connect?
2. You run the sp32408 update utility sp32408 and after the checks replace the nbf file as described at the tutorial?
From where i can download sp32408 ?
which one
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...TypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=421399&tx=sp32408
i've tried them all ,but nothing and this" 2. You run the sp32408 update utility sp32408 and after the checks replace the nbf file as described at the tutorial?" is not woking.
Have you succeed to flash any wm6 rom on your device? How you did it? I didn't flashed never under windows vista so maybe this is the problem. And I have an hx2490b not hx2490 and I think the not b series maybe need a different way. But many people did it and If you search in the forum you can find some info. Also if I remember well on 4pda.ru site topic they said that the rom can flash without to use other ruu utility.
So if you flashed the device with a wm6 rom before, use that ruu utility and try to change the nbf file on above post(maype needs to rename it or first leave to pass the check and replace with the renamed file after, use white bootloader mode...)
1 i have 2 os xp and vista
2 i make my rom update under xp

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.
How Can I downgrade my O2 Exec from ROM 8.2 Tomal to its original ROM WM5 (O2 Exec)
Should I Use task 28 55a first?
And then use WM5 ROM 1.13 (O2 Exec) and then upgrade to WM 5 Rom 1.30 (O2 Exec), or just straight use WM 5 ROM 1.30 (O2)?

2) Give Uni to Bootloader mode - Active sync must be not active. Synchronizacion is not active.
(Bootloader mode - holding the BACKLIGHT_BUTTON and the POWER_BUTTON and then pressing the RESET button)
3) Plug Uni to PC and wait for Win detect Uni.
4) Run RomUpgradeUt.exe and flash O2 rom, radio, extrom
Its works.

Wm5 - O2 1.30. 162
hi, where did u find the original WM5 - O2 1.30. 162 rom files,
i looked online and they were removed from my-xda website
a link would be helpful
thanks
The Final Conclusion
Hi, guys.
After doing some flash from WM5 to WM6 and WM 6 to WM 5, etc,
I finally succeed again to flash my O2 Exec to its original ROM WM 5 (O2 ROM 1.30) and fully functional...
Mine Is :
O2 XDA Executive (HTC Universal)
G4 (bootloader 2.01)
64 MB RAM
Here's my conclusion:
I'll make it step by step : (Please Do It with Ur Own risk, it success to me, maybe not to the others...)
1. Run PPCPIMBacup.exe (ver2.5) to bacup Ur contact, appoinment, and tasks), save it to Ur SD Card.
2. Download RUU tools from forum.xda-developers.com. Search for it.
After that, extract it to a new folder, let's say "RUU_WM5"
3. Download O2 ROM 1.30 (.exe) from buzzdev.net. Search it under download section. U must register first to download. (It's free )
4. Run O2 ROM (.exe), but don't click next. (cause we're only want to take 3 files : nk.nbf, radio.nbf, and ms_.nbf only from temporary directory in "/Document and Settings/").
Open Windows Explorer, run search to find that 3 files. U just need search one of these files, if U found, than the others files are in the same directory that U found the one. After U found them, copy 3 files to "RUU_WM5" folder.
5. Download Mtty program, too from buzzdev.net
6. Use Mtty (Mine is ver 1.4x) from buzzdev.net :
- Disable active sync
- Make Ur Universal in bootloader mode
- connect Ur Universal to USB
- run mtty, choose USB
- type : task 28 55a
- enter, and than U'll see USB)
- Unplug Ur Universal and do soft reset
(U'll see nothing in the screen, don't
panic.) after that push the combination
button to enter bootloader mode again.
- Plug again Ur Universal to USB
Very Important Note :
a. Use Mtty is very risky, please do it with
very carefully and prepare for the worst
risk... brick the Universal...
Do it with Ur own risk..
Ur bootloader I think must 2.01 or 1.1 (I
think...)
b. task 28 55a is to clear the storage of
Universal to its original state, like U want to
format the new Hard Disk to make clean
Install of new Windows
7. Run Rom Upgrade Utility (.exe) from "RUU_WM5" Folder. And Wait until it finished, about +- 20 minutes, and do hard rest, press 0.
8. Hoopla, The ROM WM 5 is running for the first time, wait until it insatll all the 3rd components from O2... it restart again for one more time, and then finished. U must setting time and other information to suit the present day and Ur will.
9. Run PPCPIMBackup.exe (ver 2.5) to restore all Contacts, Appoinments, and tasks)
10. Done at last Ur Radio, Ce ROM, and Ext ROM doing just fine.
Note: For addition to me, I install psidoc_sdhc.cab (to read SDHC Card), the allblack theme, today agenda, wkTask, TCPMP, and Opera 9.5 VGA for the additional program WM5.
Please that senior of this forum can make input or add to these step or method...
Good Luck, Guys.. and have a wonderful end year vacation..
PS: Sorry for the bad English...
