Help with unlocking

Ok got a SD card and put on a new rom how can I make it load the info from th card. Also everytime I try and make a nbf file type it erros on me.
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739write xip block starting at 81800000, with 3 fileswrite xip block starting at 81980000, with 0 filesheader : No such file or directoryError creating new rom
I picked nb1 said was for flashing with SD card and can't get it to load.

What's your current ROM ? ... maybe all you need is to load the XDAunlock.exe tool http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
Anyway, to use the SD the best way is to cook the ROM as EXE, then use WinRAR or Winzip to extract the NK file from the English subdirectory. Use XDAtools to move this file to the SD card using the device and activesync. Insert the SD in your device, if it will ask you to format press NO. Go to the bootloader menu (power + soft reset) it should recognize the SD content and will ask you to press Action.
PS: this is valid for bootloader 5.15 and 5.17

Can I install the latest MS Pocket PC on my XDA1??

Hi all
I have an XDA running Pocket PC 2002.
Is it possible for me to upgrade this or remove what's installed and install the latest Pocket PC op system?
I'm not sure which is the latest, I think PPC 2003?
What will I need to do this and is the procedure available?
Regards
JC

The 4.01.00 ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 ..
but be careful as it contains the upgrade for RSU and I 'm not sure
it supports 900/1800 or not since it's TMO upgrade.
If your device has no Radio problems (GSM),
my advice would be to down load the file, use Winzip or WinRAR to
extract the NK.nbf file which the ROM upgrade, put it on SD card and flash your XDA using the bootloader.
PS: if you are sure that your network is 1800 MHz then do NOT use R6.24 for RSU upgrade.
Good luck
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

How to flash an .nbh file correctly for Excalibur official...

I am trying to figure out how to flash a .nbh file correctly for my friends Dash. He has the T-Mobile dash 1.22.531.6, which oddly enough is not on the T-mobile wmupgrade site. Anyway, found the file here and it is a .nbh file. From how I understand doing research on flashing from an SD card.. It should be as simple as the following steps...
1. OPEN RUU_Excalibur.exe with an archiver and extract files to temporary directory (the file we want is the EXCAIMG*.nbh)
2. Format SD card using FAT32
3. Insert SD card into phone
4. Connect using ActiveSync
5. Rename nbh file to "EXCAIMG.nbh"
6. Copy EXCAIMG.nbh to SD card
7. Disconnect phone
8. Start Manual Bootloader (hold camera key for three seconds and press power button)
9. After quick messages (checking sd card, etc.) you should get "Update SD image? Press power button to download" screen with countdown in bottom corner
10. After timeout you will go to color bars UI
This was taken from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293387
I just want to be sure that these are the correct steps for the T-Mobile 1.22.531.6 ROM update from the OFFICIAL ROM sticky...

Gave it a shot, but got a "Invalid Certificate" and stuck at tri-color screen. Luckily, did not brick it.. Any suggestions?

SD flash ONLY works with SIGNED nbh file that matches the Device. The nbh file you downloaded was not signed by HTC, it was "extracted from a phone". Currently there is no way to flash the TMO .6 rom, only the .4 from T-Mobile or use one of the other "Official" or "Cooked" roms. Also, SD Flash seems to have issues with the WM6 Roms, would not recommend. Instead of flashing new ROM if you want to keep the TMO .6 rom try doing a restore instead.

Ah ok, thanks for the information.

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 !!

need help flashing rom please

ok i have the evo i am on a stock rooted 2.2 but i cant seem to figure out how to flash the custom rom. i have followed all of the steps but when i go to install rom from sd card and click on the rom i want to install i do not get the option to back up and wip etc... it goes to folders like system/ data and meta.....wtf is this y isnt it working?????? help me

Did you leave the rom in a zip file?

i tried downloading it on my mac and transferring it over and from my phone and the files download in a folder containing seperate folders. but when i download it says zip though

should be 1 file 'whateverROMname.zip' and it needs to be in root (not in sub folder) of sd card.

its on the root im compressing the files into zips now then ima see if it works

Why are you zipping? the file you downloaded should be in .zip formant already. Just drag and drop that .zip file on your card.

Try rom manager from the market, it works great, it has some updated roms pre installed or you can download to sd card, very simple to use, for a noob like me.

when i downloaded it it wasnt it was in folders. ok i just went through the steps then after backing up and everything it took me to the recovery screen i selected reboot device and it brought my **** back to the standard rom wtf

Here is how i do it.
1. Download Rom (the zipped file)
2. Put on SD card
3. Reboot into Recovery
4. Install zip from sd card option
5 Choose zip from sd card
6.Choose the zip file you put on sd card in step 2
5. Reboot
Lmk if this helps
