Nbh to Nb and back. - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hey there guys, im looking for a tool similer to nbhtool floting around here on xda. I found it last year but cant find it now. Reason is I downloaded a windows mobile 6.5 beta rom and its got a radio.nb file in it and I dont like to flash my device with radio. Can anyone direct me in the right direction or at least tell me what setting to use in nbhtool to flash all the files back to nbh excluding radio rom? Thank you.

Windows Media Player 10 MobileROM .nbf file found on HP site

Guys,
I searched but didn't see anything about WMP 10 ROM CAB being posted. I searched all combos I could think of so sorry if this is a repost.
HP released a ROM update for an HP rx3000 ipaq
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/22157.html
This file is a ROM update for the device. I downloaded the .exe and unzipped it, it had the .nbf update file but I'm not sure how to pull the individual cab files out of it, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
If some one can get the password for the rom, I can try to extract the cab.
I would try the same ones used for the MDAIII rom. itsme was the one that came up with the passwords.
Well paul, I'm not going to go fishing for them. So if you want to post them or pm me with them great otherwise. :arrow: :twisted:
HP ROM is not locked!
Guys,
I just opened the HP nk.nbf file and it is not locked, so no password is needed.
Mikee4fun,
Since it is unlocked, can you pull out the cab for the media player 10?
Instructions and names of tools would work also, thanks for any and all help.
Paul.

I've been trying to download this file, but it always says file not found on the server...
Zero,
Maybe it's in one of the files in this ftp site - ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp29001-29500/

This is no good. I've downloaded the SP29295.exe and dumprom the nbf file. It confirms my suspicion that it is an update of the HP iPAQ rx3700 OS files (including WMP10 mobile) and not just individual CAB files.
Unless someone can tell me what are the exact files in the WMP10? I've tested using other versions of ROM, and it seems like I've invariably replace files that affects the core integrity of the OS.
However, I still harbour the fantasy that we might port this stuff over to XDA2.
If you can't get to the right URL link, search at google with the following search string:
"HP iPAQ rx3700" "mobile media companion" update

From this FTP site, download sp29416.exe, it's easier
Paul, the windows media 10 is not a cab install rather a part of the windows mobile 2003 se system. It would require someone to go find all the dll files, registry setting and core file install directory contents to make the whole thing work.

Got it, thanks.
RE
Hope that somebody could come out with a cab file for separate installation.
:roll:
lets just hope someone can rip the entire se OS from another device and make it work on XDAII. The 2.02, 2.06 and 2.20.07CHS (translated) are getting their bit by bit...
any got wmp 10 from the rom then pls do share.
thanks
jeet
list the dll files u need and i'll help u to get them coz i have i-mate jam ROM and i'v extracted all rom filed includes all exe and dll files
all i need a list of needed files 8)
I think the lack of knowledge on the files pretaining to Windows Media Player 10 are ther reason why someone is going to have to have a copy of the ROM and go routing about for the files.
Loading rx3700 nbf file into ER2003Edit asks for a password. Is there any way to find that password?!

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile

Microsoft have released Windows Media Player 10 Mobile but only to manufacturers. It is not, and will not be, available as an update or download unless your manufacturer provides an update or updated ROM.
I pulled a ROM update down from one of the OEMs whove done an update and could extract the files for WMP10M, but I'm not sufficiently up with the whole ROM cooking thing to incorporate them into a new ROM for my Blue Angel.
Anyone fancy giving this a go ?
Can you Zip the files and Upload here?
yeah, let the expert assist you.
I am very keen to have WMP 10 too.
just upload the ms.nbf file of that ROM and the rest is up to us.
This is a link to the ROM update for the Dell Axim x30 that contains WMP10 :
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...eviceid=6672&devlib=7&releaseid=R87096&p=HTTP
I downloaded this and used a tool (which I now cant find - doh!) to extract it.
What else would you guys need ?
Do you need a copy of my current ROM ?
If so, how do I make a copy of it ?
Sorry, that last post was me...forgot to login.
i have downloaded the file.
After extracting, i found 2 *.IMG :roll:
therefore, i try to use UltraISO or MagicISO just to extract *.IMG but it fails.
Some other experts may need to participate
I presume DumpRom will not help us.. Mamaich? :wink:
What kind of Pocket Pc have you upgraded? Dell ??
OK.
I got an iPAQ rom update from HP here : http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/22279.html
I ran it so it copied the filees onto my PC hard drive.
I then ran dumprom.exe against the d2b10110uo.nbf file and got all the files from the ROM.
I have them all in a zip file as I am not sure exactly which ones are required for WMP10M. I have zipped up and attached all the ones that look as though they are WMP10M related.
i suppose all the files has to be zip into *.CAB
and copy over to PDA and unzip it
is this all the files that belongs to WMP?
i think let the expert do some testing

Sorry, I must hve missed your comment. The rom can be got from here : http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handhelds/us/download/22279.html
Sorry, tried to upload but it keeps failing.
Anyone tried copying the files in wm.zip to their xda2 and trying to run wmplayer.exe ?
wanna try but at work with no cradle
Locked up after a few seconds of the "wait" icon on my PDA2K running 1.31 WWE and 1.06.02 Radio.
First you are missing many WmFiles,there are many that are not begin to Wmxxxx,but unfortunately I can't remeber others.
And I think DumpRom is missing relocation on Dll files,like discussed time ago
I thought someone had mentioned that WMP10 software is "somehow" tied into the hardware or the OS specific to the devices so it wouldnt be possible to extract the executable application and make a cab or whatever and run it on any other devices that it didnt ship with...
I'm no guru with ROMs and stuff.. but if any one of you guys manages to make this work, it will be awesome!
Good luck!
i heard someone had the cab or a way to install wmp10 ... anyone here knows how?

AtomLife ROMs extract! Help pls

Hi all,
I am trying to port the mediaplus from AtomLife ROMs which has the second version of mediaplus with icons in circle.
I was successfull in extracting the imgfs.bin but there is onemore file ExROM.img which is not giving up.
I Tried
1. winimage
2. extended drive creator
3. scooter kitchen tools
but i am not able to look into the contents, it has the required _QHiddenPartition directory which has all the theme and image files for FMRadio/Mediaplus and Equaliser.
can anybody help me .
regards
Shreedhara
Mediaplus is very tricky..the images are in Ext ROM..but the links to executables are somewhere from the XIP section..any way keep working
Well
I don't think u understand my problem.
I was able to run the Mediaplus(v1.0) app on my Eten M700 earlier when I had WM5 on my eten.
But after I changed it to WM6, I want something new and hence I am trying to get the Atom Life Mediaplus (v2.0), which is better looking than the earlier one.
But SInce the latest ROM's from O2 have differenct format
It contains
lot of asm.mbss files (Motherboard assembly ) and FLASH.DIO and ExROM.img
with XLDR.nb and EBoot.nb0 files also.
But that Extended rom is hardnut to crack, it does not open at all for any tools we have here.
That'swhy I asked for help, so that I can extract it.

Virtual WM6.1 for PC

Hi
i found a virtual WM 5 & 6 for PC. But to flash the virtual rom i need to have the rom in .bin format insteat of .nbh. Does anybody know how to transform nbh to bin ?
Download artemis touch rom from this forum, open the zipped directory, delete the .nbh original file, put in the directory your .nbh file, flash the rom with the included program.

How to install rom without RADIO

Can someone tell me how to install any extended ROM (i.e. ROM + Radio) without installing radio or in other words how to install the ROM part of the available ROM not the embedded radio.
All the cooked ROM's that i have seen here come with no radio. Because flashing the radio is one of the most risky things to do with your phone.
If you flash an original manufacture ROM it installs the radio with it. Unless you find the stripped version.
yes everything is true!!!
but... you can change the name of the shipped romd to .rar or .zip intead of exe....
Then extract just the Ruu_signed.nbh... paste it into a ruu wrapper folder and flash it... the ruu_signed nbh is just the rom...
If you saw inside of the shipped exe you will find maybe ms.nbh (extended ROM) radio.nbh ipl.nbh spl.nbh... so you dont need the others... this kind of tricj was implemented to the last shipped rom... the Stripped Att rom for HTC Hermes.
Thank you +Que. Sorry i am new to all this. Thank you for the clarification.

The radio is inside the ruu_signed.nbh, and you have to use something like duttys nbh tool to extract all the nb files, then put it back together without the radio.
Try it! here is the at&t shipped rom: http://www.4shared.com/file/9694978...3625023_6275_1540700_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.html
And dutty's nbh tool http://gator1032.hostgator.com/~boog/rom_stuff/nbhtool.7z
Thanks to all of you for giving answers, i donwloaded the nbhtool and extract the contents of the nbh file to a folder but when i go for making a nbh from nb files i become confused. wat'll be the version and signature size of the new nbh file, is it the version of the official rom and what'll be the signature ????
Being new, you shouldn't worry about trying to strip a rom yet. Get some reading and experience under your belt.
You can grab the at&t stripped rom from my signature (or search the forums, there are other places to get it as well), it has the radio removed.
And the cooked roms here in the forum do not have the radio, either.
If your really wanting to get into the guts of the rom, search for all the terms you see in the nbh tool (there might possibly even be a tutorial on it), and grab a few kitchens. The best way to learn is to mess it up a few times and have to fix it.
Maybe I could try to show you where things should go, but I'm posting this from my phone, so it will have to be later.
