I connect universal to my pc w/ usb and want to rename/delete files in windows directory. It told me some pemmisson error. How can I do such things?
I can create new folds in the directory.
Seems a new bie question. thanks in advance.
Files in the windows folder are generally ROM files, so you can't really delete them, they'll just come back from ROM when you reset.
So - you can use the old technique, normally, of using something like gsfinder, rename the file you want to change, eg ctlpnl.exe to ctlpnl.orig, then copy a new file into the windows folder and rename it to ctlpnl.exe.
That works well with some files, but not all.
To do some heavy duty modding, you would have to make your own rom. Find RomTools by Mamaich.

But I can't rename any files belong to original rom. When I use GSfinder to rename the file, it also reported "Cannot rename file.". I checked the property of the file, it has "rom" property and the checkbox of "rom" property is gray.
How?
I attached a jpg file when I want to change the name of "smartdialing.dll".
My device info:
ROM: 1.30.111 WWE
Radio: 1.11.00
Protocal: 42.45.P8
ExtROM: 1.30.230 WWE
T-Mobile Germany version
As you say, if it's a proper ROM file that wants to be stubborn (it may already be in use. Try closing the app using a good task manager first) then your other option could just be burning a new rom.
Why do you need to rename it?

It seems that's not the reason. I can't even rename a htm or gif file with ROM property.
I want to localize smartdialing.dll.
Thanks for your quick response!
I think there's already a tutorial/solution to a localized smartdialler.
Can't remember the poster, check Buzz's site.
V
yes, I want to create a Chinese version of smartdialing based on their tutorial.
However, I tried to replace the original dll with my modified one, and FAILED. That's really troublesome. Seems nobody else has the same issue as mine.
Got a simular problem.
I'm trying to install OZVGA and according to the instructions you need to copy some files (Backlight.exe Camera.exe etc.) into the windows directory, but i'm not allowed to do so. Files are read only or in use.
Some suggestions?
Use TotalCommander.

useless.
Any one knows why?
I had the ozvga issue. I installed the extended ROM unlocker (from buzzdev.net I think) and then it let me replace them.
Hope this helps.
Coincidentally, I've just upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM and need to re-apply ozvga but I can't find the files/instructions anymore. Got a link handy?
This is a long shot, but there was a cab file knocking around the forums, I remember it from the days when i had a HTC Blue Angel. there was a cab file or file that was installed on the SD card that could take a ROM image from the device and then you could install back onto a device if the upgrade failed.
Im just wondering if this is possible and it would help those people out who have bricked there devices.
What im saying is, if i can find this cab file, i could try and get my rom dumped and maybe someone could use this to get an original o2 uk rom back onto there devices.
what do you guys think ?

hey joey jo jo... done some searches on this and came up with this link.. don't know if it's what you're thinking of - the instructions aren't for the artemis - but maybe a start?
http://www.modaco.com/Backup_your_Typhoon_ROM-t201334.html
i found this on the Hermes wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
not sure if this is anything that will/can work, im going to have a look but im still trying to locate that cab file that i used on my years old xda 2s/ Blue angel.
i hope it does work for all you people that have paper weights

interesting,
ill look at this, cheers.
i only have a 256 mb card and i need someone to let me know if that is big enough for a rom dump....... any one help with this?
seemed ok, just backing rom up now.... will try and put it into a format that can be uploaded, mine is the original rom that came with the o2 uk xda orbit, and will/should help bricked devices back to original rom.
im, currently uploading my dump to the ftp, for anyone who knows how to convert this into something flashable.
i have no idea how to do this, so if anyone knows, please do this or pm me with instructions or link and ill do it tomorrow after work.
What program you use to make the dump? I used WM5 test, and I could make a copy of active ROM, but where this progam saves the files? I can't find any folder with these copied files.

i used grab_it.exe from your prev link mate, i now have an image of the rom, but now need to work out how to turn it into something we can upgrade from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
In which form grab_it dump ROM file?, I could only used WM5test and this program copy file per file, doesn't create nb or nbh file or something like that...
all it created for me was dump.bin i have no idea what to do with it, but im searching the forums for help.......

i'm totally new to this but maybe if you use the htc wm5 rom as a base and then decode that to put your image on top, then encode, it will work?
see for nbh format of decoded roms..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289830

on that link, there is a coment,
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

i think this will only work with an original o2 rom, which isnt available, and i doubt it would work using another operator rom , will give it a go though.

problem is also that the encode / decode is discussed re nbf compressed files... and the artemis uses the nbh format. this is what the second link was i posted.
looks tough!

it is tough, i have no experience in this, and i tried, ive pm'd a couple of people and awaiting some responses, but i cant see it happening in the sense that it may not be possible to do the upgrade while in bootloader..
but . . . . the mission continues
hi!
Currently there is no way to make a backup other than with pdocread.exe from itsme (istutils). You can make a backup of the OS, SPL, GSM and Extended ROM with it. The problem begins with flashing it back, I'm still trying to figure out how to do it when the phone is fully functional, there is no way to do it when you r phone is stuck in bootloader mode. The only way would be by reconstructing a .nbh file. The problem is that none of the tools that can make a .nbh file work for the Artemis, because the use a wrong signature size. The one who can help us out here is pof but he is a VERY busy man.

Then how is possible that bepe could make a custom ROM for arthemis? I thought if you use nbhtool you can make custom ROM for arthemis, btw I posted a msg in original nbhtool post, about what parameters I need to introduce in order to make a fully operational ROM, because when I entered in bootloader mode, and using putty's tool to comunicate with PDA, my device return this msg:
cmd: getdevingo
ARTE10000 HTCE... (and in nbhtool, parameters are only ARTE1000 or ARTE1100)
Signature size when you decompresing a original NBH file is 128 (in original post some people talk about 1024, but when I cooked ROMs with 1024 I have an upgrade failure, and I must reboot PDA), but I really need to know if in nbhtool on Device I Must enter "ARTE10000" and in CID type "HTCE" or not...
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
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?

My USB port has gone bad and I need to reflash it (via SDcard) back to factory before I warranty swap it. However, I am having no luck finding the rhodimg.nbh file for a stock T-Mo ROM. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So, you have the .exe form of the stock ROM? Like, the WM6.5 version T-Mo released?
That .exe is a compressed file, and if you expand it using 7zip or winrar or other then you'll see that RUU_signed.nbh is found inside it. Rename the "RUU_signed.nbh" file to "rhodimg.nbh" and use it for SD-card flashing.
thank you! I will give that a shot!
That worked perfectly. Thanks for your help!!!
