I'll made my ROM for a Trinity, anyway I'm use this section because i think that the "Hermes Upgrading" one is the most reable about this argument...
So,
I'll edit a coocked-rom, after....how can I modify his date/version (diplayed on boot and in settings->info tab) ???
Tnks,
nobody can help me?
i am interested about rom date also
please!!!!!!
Hi you can change the date but if u'll change the rom on ur mobile.just upgrade the latest rom on ur phone the date will b update also.
Any responses on this?
Any responses on this? I'm cooking a rom in a kitchen and would like to know this secret also.
u need to hexedit s000 in nk.exe module located in XIP folder.
not for evbdy, be careful.

Thanks Dan!! Can you point me in the correct direction as to which offset?
did anyone find this out? I want to change the Date on my custom Vogue ROM
Not much luck for me, either, but when cooking around with the shipped AT&T WM6.0 ROM, I was able to change the Version by simply editing the PROVXML file in OEMVersion.
The only way I found to change the ROM's Date was by hex-editing the completed .NBH file. This is not very elegant, and needs to be done after every build. Also, it only effects the ROM Date shown on the Settings->System->DeviceInfo screen. The danged calendar that pops up when you are first initializing the device does NOT obey the new date, which is a bit of a pain.
I've searched long and hard in many of the device forums, as well as a few other websites. I've tried some Kaiser tools, as well as some others. If any forum members really know how to do this on a Hermes, nobody is talking. Too bad.

GOT IT
OK, Done it in my latest 20270 ported to hermes XIP and SYS... After cooking before loading into the NBH. Hex edit the os-new.nb and search asci text (2007) The first two results will be the ones you change.. Change these dates to the rom dates you desire. and WHAMMO you have a rom with a current date.. ENJOY. and thanks to Abusalza in the hermes forum for his assistance with this.

It sounds like this achieves the same thing I did by hex-editing the resuting .NBH. I am curious ... does this method also change the initial date that comes up when initializing a new ROM ... just after the screen alignment? When I HexEdit the NBH file, the ROM's date is changed on the Device Info Screen, but the ROM initialization routine always starts with the calendar at 9/1/2007. What happens with your method?
-pvs
HexEdit .nbh file, search for the month (unicode) e.g. jul . Replace month
(3 letters) and date that follows.
First calendar screen and internal rom date will be updated this way.
you may edit also .provxml (e.g. oemversion provxlm) ...

Thanks for this, swtos, but this is what I've been doing. Unfortunately, it does not work (for the initialization calendar) on my cooked AT&T WM6 ROM. It DOES change the ROMDate in DeviceSettings, but it has no effect on that initial calendar.
Oh well,
-pvs
Then you have to edit nk.exe\s000 ..
or Xip.bin (xip_out.bin)
Good Luck !

Thanks a lot, swtos. I already know I don't have the s000 module (already tried that method), but I guess I could possibly "reversmode" NK.EXE and go from there (never tried THAT).
I'll also have a look at XIP.bin/XIP_out.bin, and see what's up with that.
Thanks a lot!

Hmmm ... my ROM doesn't NEED this package, as it already has the auto TZ options ON as a default. But if you could post a link to the OEM package you're referring-to, I'd be very happy to take a look at it, and see if it exhibits this "side-effect" on my ROM. That would be great!

so i got my hands on this.. can i flash it to my hermes device?
Probably not. It probably the Universal ROM.
how can i tell what device its for.. ?? says the platform is windows ce and its windows mobile 6 beta
is there a way i can find out what device it is for??
Hi
I think, if this is xbow for hermes, the Mods will close the thread and delete your post. Like they did it sometimes before.

close thread AND delete post?
well i never saw this happening.. requesting a rom is a different issue.. everybody would like to have a dump of a wm6 rom (yes even the mods)
so what you're saying is not true, they would try to help to get it dudmped...
but i seriously doubt that this is a wm6 rom
how exactly should i prove this.. i have the file right infront of me .. 58.2mb... it has all the data such as the romupgradeut.ext ui.dll ruu.dll nk.nbf ruu.conf getdecicedada.exe.. ect ect.. where and what should i do with this?
Hello I've found the file too... but the updater show an universal when i start it.... is there any possibility to get it run on the hermes or can I delete it... I've already seen videos showing crossbow on the hermes...
yeh when i start it i def. dont see a hermes,, is this the universal rom?
HonestAbe: why not try decompiling the rom with mamaich's romtools?
Once you've done that check out the contents of the rom - you should be able to tell if the resources are in VGA format or QVGA format and identify it that way at least - although if you look at the rom header that will also give you the same info easier.
Worst case, PM me or one of the other moderators, I suggest Pof, and we'll have a look at the rom.
For now, can you just list the name of the file(s) you've got, with file sizes? Is there a readme.txt or similar in the file? If so, what does it say?
What makes you think it is for Hermes and not Universal or another device?
scorpio16v: some threads were deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot host the rom on this site. For even more relevant moral reasons, we cannot risk harm to people that leak roms in an identifiable form, so try to protect them if that happens. But apart from that, we're all quite interested in roms, Crossbow or otherwise.

then i tried tadzios app to try and dump the rom i used the hermes setting and prophet setting both didnt give me a dump folder just some files. one was imgfs others i forgot.
anyone have any ideas.
aWaiter.exe -1 05_OS.nb -force
aWaiter C# Port
===================
By Olipro, dibs to ahlok_hk

[05_OS.nb] is not a valid OS file...
Not having much luck converting the nb to imgfs either. I've tried aWaiter, aChef, and then various imgfs tools that errored out. I don't know enough about the file format to conclude anything (for all I know, I missed a step somewhere. )
Anyone with more experience have anything to add?
upload the os.nb and ill try some things
Here it is! Extracted with nbhextract.

I just uploaded the windows.nb from the 6800 rom to an ftp (no wait):

I also uploaded the SPL incase anyone wants to take a look at that it's in the same directory.

err its not that simple
firstly atm the tool only goes one way, secondly even if you did get one to re-compile it you cannot flash unsigned code to the titan until someone bypasses that.
Oh that just bites. I was hoping to have some touchflo goodness sooner rather than later.
Also how fast does something like that usually take? days? Months? years? is it something simple. Or is it a very daunting task like looking for an exploit in the xbox 360

The dump tools in midgets post will dump the files from the RUU_Singed.nbh. you will need to extract the .nbh from the newest rom update HTC released. i think the nbh may be in this thread look on page one im not sure.
once you extract the .nbh whats the nexts step??

you have to extract from the rom the os.nb, with nbextract. Later do the edit of the file looking for the HTC-Athena and change into HTC-Hermes. Next step is introduce this file in your Athena, do a hard reset and job done.

I guess this means unlocking the device in order to flash it, unless you use your own CID's image. Has anyone flashed an HTC branded device? If so, could you be kind enough to upload the resulting ROM that includes BBC?

It's very risky to share this class of files. And modificate a rom is very easy, you should try it. It is not difficult.

Edit: i got the ruu_signed.nbh out of the exe, by running it, then the files become unhidden.
However, now im at a point where im wondering what parts from the rom i need to not **** up my device once ive made the rom. im thinking i need the sys folders, but i can have a different xip?
could someone confirm its possible to even cook with this rom, or does the new spl mean it cant be cooked?
ok, now, im just kinda working things out before i do anything much, if my athena has the new spl, once ive made the rom, i can just leave out the spl.nb part when making a new .nbh file? im only asking because duttys good nbh editor wont let you cook a new spl in when you select athena.
also, are ATHE100 and superCID the right options when making a new nbh using the tool?

some time while building ROM storage encryption not working ie when i click on start-> setting -> System -> Encryption and click on box it's get tick but after that if i go to check it again, it's again get clear

but when i check registry entry after flash this key r missing
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Filters\ENCFilt]

even after putting this entry manually encryption not work
if anybody has solution let me know .

copy crypt32.dll mencfilt.dll and boot_ms.rgu from previous woking XIP (note that there must be not much different between AKU of XIP from where you r copying working file )

Work fine on mine.
Do you use old kitchen or new kitchen???
I ever read at thread (I forget which one, but it not in GENE) old kitchen will build registry directly to boot.hv, if you put it inside boot.rgu or boot-ms.rgu, it will not be processed. Try to put it in the boot.hv, you need to convert it to *.rgu first.

Are you sure your DRM packages are allright? I guess you are using the new one that came with HTC MEGA OEM. Try reverting back to the Lockstream one.

yep i m using
Code:
PACKAGE_Rhodium_LockStreamDRM
PACKAGE_Rhodium_LockStreamDRM_0409
And you have the entries in boot.rgu? the timewizard.exe and others? Also i would recommend to revert to the original one since it doesn't do any good to the phone to get a new one. It doesn't adds any features or performance benifits.
Plus use a platform rebuilder based kitchen since it recompiles boot.rgu to boot.hv everytime it builds a rom.
yep i have

Oh yes! crypt32.dll, how could i forget it man! sorry bro it slipped out of my mind. Boot_ms.rgu can be from any of the XIPs though, its same in all 6.1 and 6.5 XIPs till now.
