Haven't there been leaked ROMs posted for Samsung and LG that use .nbh containers?

.zip , .rar , .7z are containers for data .
.nbh , .bin , nb0 are containers for ROM files .

Help : IPAQ Dumping Rom and nbf vs nb0

Hello , I need to dump the rom of my hx2750 without risking to break up it .
I've seen there is a tool called grab_it .
I'm asking you if someone has already tried it on an ipaq hx2000 series .
Another question reguarding rom dumping : is it possible to dump it directly on my hard disk ? how could i do ?
And the last thing : I've read that the .nbf rom extension is not made to restore bricked ipaqs , but a .nb0 rom file exists for that .
The .nb0 seems to be obtained from the .nbf rom file , editing it with a hex editor , cutting off some bytes from the beginning of the rom . Anyone of you could explain me how many bytes must i remove to obtain a nb0 file from my ipaq's hx2750 nbf ? Also , if you know something general , please write it , I need as much information as possible reguarding my questions .
Thanks in advance .

hmmm....from what I can see , the procedure reguards only cooking a rom already obtained ( from the device or the Hp site ) .
I need to grab my rom from my device , and to convert it into an .nbf or .nb0 file that can be used into an identical , but bricked , hx2750 .
Somewhere in the forum there is an application called testWM5, and this app extract the rom files from the device to a dump folder. Maybe this can help you.
Thanks man , i've found a tool called grab_it .
Anyway , it creates automatically a rom image on the sd-card .
Once i've created it , what am I supposed to do ?
I would like to copy it in my Hard disk , and eventually to re-dump it in my ipaq .
But I don't how to do it .
I've heard also that .nb0files can be obtained from .nbf ones , but i don't know how many bytes remove for my ipaq hx2750
The link that I give you above contains a program that convert the nbf file, to a format that lets you edit the rom. The link contains istructions for cooking with imgfs tools. I found here before a cupple of days and a kitchen for hx4700, and I think that can ve used and for hx2000 series cause as i saw uses the imgfs and mamach tools.

Hello,
Can you give us the flashable rom ?
I could not convert the RAW files.
Thank's in advance !
I've converted the RAW files to bin with Samsung i780 kitchen 0.2 BETA, but there is always the connection settings problem, because I don't have a correct french rom to use for the conversion.
If someone has an old french rom wich works well, I can convert it for you
Can anyone upload the flashable rom ?

Hi gentleman, what is the difference of x.7z.001; x.7z.002 and x.7z.003
Probably a multi-part archive. 7-zip is free, with better compression than rar.

http://rapidshare.com/files/209653495/x.7z.001
http://rapidshare.com/files/209659330/x.7z.002
http://rapidshare.com/files/209664675/x.7z.003

I've downloaded the file.. topaz.rar and after extracting I'm having 3 files with .raw extension. Pls anybody let me know how to use these files to flash rom. I've always used DIAMIMG.nbh files to flash it.
Pls also confirm if this ROM can be flashed on HTC Touch Diamond.
i'm using a mac...so don't know if its windows recognisable format..
Thanks,

The rom is for Topaz. You cannot flash it to your Diamond.
What you can do is grabbing the packages extracted and adding theim to an existing Diamond kitchen.
The rom is posted only for porting purpose !

You can extract it with WINRAR or another arhive programm.
Another question is how to rename this 2 files (RUU_signed.nbh & UEFI_signed.nbh) what they can be flashed via Y-cable?
