Hello there,
If you are making your ROM and the ROM file is too small to flash it (size limitation of a rom file) then you can do the following:
1. Cook your rom and remove all the things you don't need.
if your rom file is smaller then 51.200 kb then follow the steps bellow.
2. Open XVI32 hex editor
3. Open you OS.nb (first you must edit your os.nb file)
4. Scroll down to the end of the file
5. Go to "Edit"->"Insert string..." in XVI32
6. In "Insert" window select "Hex string" and type FF
7. In "Insert <n> times" part of "Insert" window select decimal and type 10000000
8. Go to "Address"->"Goto..."
9. In "Go to" part of "Go to address" window select "hexadecimal" and type $3200000
10. In "Go mode" part of "Go to address" window select "absolute" and hit OK
11. Go to "Edit" and click on "Delete from cursor"
12. Save your OS.nb file and make a NBH file.

some edit creat Custom RUU Artemis.They can update Rom with any sizes ..

you can install your pda by sdcard then is it possible to have a ROM file smaller.
My methode is just to make ruu tool think that the rom file has a correct size.

What does the device do with the extra "FF"'s?
Nothink. It's just for ruupdate tool.
It has no effect on device or the size of the ram.

It does seem to have an effect on the Herald. I will test this again soon. It affects the formatted size of the Storage space.

yeah!i have emailed imeicheck and they rplied me in 5 minutes!i have successfully flashed my cosmo!!
this is the way to flash it!
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen) 6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.
a thousand thanks to IMEI-CHECK~!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/18907427/RUU_signed.nbh
just unzip the rom you downloaded and replace these two files
It says update utility is too old now.
I read the instructions again and now it worked.
Thanks for the help.
OMFG it worked on my S620! Thanks IMEICHECK!
Nice interface, and you can sync files now!
i tried this several times with no luck. i downloaded the two files and when i tried to run the romupdater prog nothing happens. the program will not start no matter how many times i try. any suggestions?
i think i got it to work now. i had downloaded the two files but had not copied them into the folder that had the extracted rom in it. i was getting stuck at the point where you pull cable out instead of selecting the unlock file. once i had already copied the files over i started all over again and when i got to the step where you disconnect and run the new romupgrade.exe i opened the file where the rom was and clicked the upgrade.exe file and the rest went very smooth and quick.
thanks to everyone that helped out!
but the beta rom is indeed unstable. i hope the final version will soon out!!
james_xl: what problems do you have with the rom?
"4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC).

I've been looking, but where is the unlocker program?
Hello,
you'll get the unlocker program with your imei-unlock-file from imei-check.co.uk.

Alright guys, and gals
I hate to bother everyone over such a minute, tiny issue, and I'm sure this has been asked before (although before everyone jumps on me I have already searched the forum), but I was wondering if there is an easy was to change or get rid of the "START" text next to the start menu in WM 6.1?
I have just installed some gorgeous task bar icons by InsecureSpike and feel that I can do without the Start text.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Orpheus
yeah, how can i change the "start" text into "Go" or whatever?

3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

After trying on my mates PC. I figured out it's because i installed descapes the rest of the watermark vanished.
does not work, still having .92eb4451821f0730
tried to change wallpaper/reboot
...but have not tried deskScapes
I did a little trick to remove mine.. First thing i did was change the wallpaper to a solid color. Either black or white.. That will make the watermark change colors..
If the background is black the watermark is white etc..
So i'm using an alienware wallpaper which has a black background.
I set the solid color to white, which made the text black
then i set the alienware wallpaper and watermark is hidden

But many many things are unanswered
Requisites:
1. XUltimate or any other similar tool which can pull all the Apk's and Framework's from the phone.
2. Rom Kitchen (Link On OP)
3. Zip utilities.
4. Deodex Empty Shell zip. (Deodex_Cwm_Shell .zip - 236 KB)
5. Windows (Cygwin) or Linux ( I won't go into technicalities)
How:
1. Pull all the Apk's and Framwork's along with the .odex files.
2. Rename the folder with the Apk's as "app"
3. Rename the folder with the Framework's as "framework"
4. Create a folder called Deodex_Cwm. (You can choose your name).
5. Inside the Deodex_Cwm folder, create another folder called system.
6. Copy the app and framework folder with the apk's and framework's into system.
7. In the case of ION, I found that there is a file "playstationcertified.odex", rename it to "com.playstation.playstationcertified.odex".
7. Zip the Deodex_Cwm folder.
8. Copy this zip into "original_update" folder inside Rom_Kitchen folder.
9. Run the menu script.
10. From menu select "0 - ADVANCED OPTIONS", then select "24 - Miscellaneous options / Plugin scripts".
11. Now select "(4) Batch_Deodex"
12. Press Enter to continue.
13. Press Enter Again to continue.
14. Press Enter Again to continue.
15. Press Enter Again to continue.
16. Now the Deodexing process will start. It will show a message when the process ends.
17. Rom_Kitchen creates a WORKING_mmddyy_hhmmss folder for processing the files.
18. Once the processing is done, the files are moved to batch_mmddyy_hhmmss.
19. Open the Deodex Empty Shell zip (do not extract). drag and drop the app and framework folders from the batch_mmddyy_hhmmss into the system folder inside the opened zip.
20. You also change the Text inside the updater script in the folder "META-INF/com/google/android" inside the open zip. Use notepad++ under windows, under linux you can use any editor.
21. Now close the zip and copy it to the external sd card in the phone and flash it using CWM Recovery.

Rom Kitchen Requires Linux. So either use Linux as OS or install Cygwin under Windows. How to use Linux/Cygwin is beyond the scope of the tutorial.

What is Menu script ? there is no menu script in Rom_Kitchen folder, it is just a file with name menu ( without extension)
to run menu, type the following in command prompt.
chmod +x menu (required only once to make menu executable script)

Hello,
I am looking for a factory.zip or update zip of the firmware 1.2.1, as all i downloaded from BN site are corrupted somehow.
Anyone?
I don't think that they are corrupted, they are simply signed.
If you want to treat them as a zip, strip the first 0x1a3 (419) bytes off the start.
Or get a decent program that deals with signed zips. On Windows 7-Zip works great. A command line version is available for Linux. Don't know about GUI programs for Linux.

I assume you want to install it using CWM?
In which case:
1. Download a hex editor, such as xvi32 (if you google "hex editor" it wil be the very first entry).
2. Launch XVI32.exe and open the nook_1_2_update.zip that you've downloaded from B&N site.
3. Strip the first 419 bytes (move the cursor to the "Adr. hex: 1A2" position and then menu Edit -> Delete to cursor).
4. Save file (might want to rename it as nook_1_2_update_sigstripped.zip)
You'll need a nook touch CWM image that has greater than 128Mb capacity as the zip file won't fit on it.
Alternatively load it on to a different uSD cards, then swap it once CWM is loaded.
