How to flash only the radio ruu_signed.nbh ...yes i searched - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Yes I did search, but I couldnt pinpoint where anyone specified how to flash just a radio update. I just flashed Irus Ultralight vanilla 6.1 rom, and am loving it. i was going to update the radio to what i believe is the most recent 1.57. I have the 1.57 NBH file, just not sure how to get it flashed to the phone. Do i just replace the old nbh file that is in my ultralight vanilla folder on my PC and then run the romupdate utility again? That scared me a little as the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the irus ultralight vanilla is 59,630kb, and the updated radio nbh file I have is 13,854kb. Does that make sense?

Hi
Just replace the ROM NBH file with the 1.57 NBH file and reflash again. It will leave the ROM behind on your PDA and just change the radio. Its a FULL restart again, so backup first.

thanks for the response...responderman I got brave and replaced the .nbh file and reflashed...Appears to have updated the radio just fine.

Good, I'm pleased. The only fault I had was remembering to save the ROM nbh file somewhere else and not just replace it otherwise I had to download it again.

NBH Generator

just thought I'd bring this to the attention of the Hermes people;
you can generate custom NBH files from the extracted .nb files yourself with a tool by bot called NBHGen - currently it's a sticky in the trinity forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294046
as a note; before you generate the NBH, take the TRIN100 and substitute it for HERM100.
also, delete out any files you don't want to include in the NBH and you're done!
That should work nicely for producing radio roms in nbh for use with sspl...

indeed, I've uploaded a Radio ROM to the wiki which I have used tonight since I needed to "retail" my PDA, it's a packaged file, and it works... also I made a few modifications to the updater to customise it somewhat for our new method of flashing, just to help the noobies.
it's the 1.06.04 radio.
Just an update; something Pof might like to do: I replaced EnterBL.exe with SSPL-HERM.exe (renamed it)... if you have your unlocker, you could very easily integrate it with this, obviously they need to tap "Yes" on their PDA to run the bootloader, but I've modified the updater to provide instructions... so you might like to check it out
The modified updater is here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/ModifiedRUUUpdater.rar
does anyone know if you can flash a non-SuperCID device with a generated nbh if you use it in tandem with SSPL?
I generated an NBH with OS,GSM,ExtROM and SplashScreens with the ORANG003 ID bu the flash failed, any ideas why?
SPECIAL NOTICE
If you want to include an ExtROM, change the 900 to 700 or you will brick your hermes (note that you *CAN* recover very easily from this... but it's better not to need to)

Is there a way to make a nb file from an extracted custom rom in order to use this to make the complete nbh?

OS Bad Block Checker

Ok, here it is; this file will take any OS.nb and analyze it for bad blocks; it won't tell you if the OS is properly valid or not, but it can tell you if flashing it will bollocks up your Hermes or not.
no warranties as usual; and it's also quite faster without the progress bar turned on, just to let you know.
Fabulous!!
Now I can safely test the new OS building process I want to use for WMXL v0.30
Another safety measure for the Hermes.
this is only getting better.
You got to love this forum, great work guys
thanks again Olipro, that one will be handy
Thanks so much, great work as always; we've been quite spoiled with new tools these last few weeks! The Hermes time has truely come!
Olipro, mate truly another great tool... its getting hard to keep up... how about a wrap up thread of your tools....
yes, a "wrap-up" thread will come in the form of ROM Kitchen which I will have released within the next two weeks... should be good
OS.db
How can I get an OS.db?
I only have RUU....exe ROMs and i do not know how to obtain OS.db from it?
Can anybody help me or send me an OS.db for me to reconstruct a dumped ROM for SPV M3100 orange spain?
Thank you.
.nb
Olipro was talking about the os.nb, there's no os.db file.
You have to unpack your exe file, there should be
.) ruu.exe
and
.) ruu_signed.nbh
in it.
Then you have to use duttys good nbhtool to extract the os.nb from this ruu_signed.nbh. Its not possible to send you a .nb file because its at about 70 megs.
Thank you.
But the roms files that i download are *.exe and if i double click it, an installation window appear.
How can i extract the files you say from this *.exe?
You have to install winrar or winzip first then click with the right mouse button on this .exe and extract it to a folder.
But honestly said (and with all due respect): If you don't know how to extract a file its better to do not anything with this file nor to flash it. Because its possible to brick a device during flashing and its a long, long way to unbrick it, especially without computer knowledge and comprehension.
Thank you.
I agree with you that if i do not know how to extract a file, it is better not to do anything more complicated.
But I have extract and comprime files lots of time, the problem was that, until now, i had only ROM files from HTC and this file is an exe, not a compromed exe. So I cannot extract anything. I answer thinking that with a special programm it was possible to extract the file from this *.exe.
Now I have download a ROM from Schaps and I have got the nbh file without problems.
Thanks.
Is there a os checker for files .nbh ?

How can I make my own radio only upgrade?

Hi
I am currently using the 1.40 radio ROM provided by cingular, and as I am not living in USA, I am experiencing some issues.
Because of that I decided to use the latest ROM available from my operator. I went through the wiki & the forum and I am still pretty unsure about what to do, I really don't want to brick my device because of my dumbness.
I ran the NBHExtract tool and located the radio ROM.
Can I simply use the RUU and flash as it? I noticed that the filesize is little different from the extracted ROM available on the wiki; is it normal? Did I forget something?
Could one just explain/link me quickly all the steps necessary?
Thank you
1. nbhextract your-shipped-update.nbh
2. take gsm.nb
3. nbhgen sample.txt
make sure in sample.txt you put only gsm.nb
You have made the first step by extracting the NB files...now you have to put it back to NBH file with nbhgen...and than use the custom RUU to upgrade the Radio ROM only...look at this thread in the wiki...instead of removing only the SPL and IPL remove all the files except the GSM.nb and edit the sample.txt as follows...leavening just the Radio ROM...
Regards,
Primoz

Thanks both of you, I'll give a try as soon as I found a power supply. My laptop only has 30 min battery left and I don't feel Indiana Jones enough to give a try

Reverting back to T-Mobile UK WM 5

I'm in the process of reverting my Hermes back to a T-Mobile UK ROM for Windows Mobile 5 using My Vanx guide but I can't exrtract the entended ROM from the ROM I have. Can anyone help me out?
I have a rar file of the contents of the t-mobile uk ext rom, if thats what you need?
Yes please, that would be great. Is that what I need to revert back to WM 5?
Well, ideally I think you can just overwrite the ext rom contents then do the rom downgrade, then hard reset and the ext rom contents will install.
I havent done it myself though.
Here's the zip, rar's not allowed apparently.
Thanks, I'll give it a try this afternoon and let you know how it goes.
That would be appreciated, just in case I have a warranty issue......
I'm trying to get it back due to a warranty issue (white appears as yellow).
Anyway, the extended ROM downloaded okay, however it didn't contain the Herm_extendedRom.nb as stated here. I've got the PrimarySplash.nb, SecondarySplash.ng and Windows.nb files from decompiling the NBH file, and now I'm stuck in a dead end.
Oh. you're doing that, I dont have the nbh file im afraid, what I was doing was leaving the extended rom alone when flashing rom updates so the original contents will work.
The main reason I didnt bother deleting the original ext rom is that the files dont actually run under wm6 and I dont really have any use for the ext rom.
Theoretically if you replace the contents of the ext rom with the contents of the zip then do the downgrade stuff wthout selecting the ext rom nbh file it might work. since I seem to recall that the ext rom contents were run by a prompter file in the windows directory from the original t-mobile OS rom after you first hard reset.
Might be worth seeing if anyone can clarify this though, as I said, I havent downgraded as yet.
Sounds like it might work, or just trying to flash without the Extended ROM, and then running the cab files seperately afterwards, but I'd like to seek clarification before doing so.

Help with DCD

The file for sd card flashing a rom says it should be TITAIMG.nbh, why when i download just the rom is it dcd_titan_3.2.6.exe. I'm trying to load my phone up with 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50, so far I have updated my bootloader to 2.47 and updated the radio, but now it is just stuck at the verizon screen everytime i load and the bootloader is not dectecting the .exe file.
You must RUN the exe. It will unpack a file called RUU_Signed.nbh or something (just look, you'll see it along with the rest of the stuff, just close the program when it opens). Rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and put it at the root of ur card.

If you have WinRAR or Winzip.... Right click on the EXE on the computer... extract the files.
In the extracted files list... find Ruu_signed.nbh.
Rename Ruu_signed.nbh > TITAIMG.nbh
Copy this file to the MicroSD card.. then get into bootloader.

You can do that as well. Either way, try it and let us know how it goes.
Ahhh, I thought it was an executeable lol. Ok well anyways, i just went ahead and ran the kitchen utility and had it make one for me and renamed it, just now booting into windows 6.1 for the first time. One question, since i had the kitchen build the rom for me and i just used what was already checked as far as features and added no additional ones, is that gonna be identical to the rom i would get from extracting this .exe file?

Yup, just don't forget to run your carrier cab when done.
-edit-
Since you r on verizon, you may have to get a new A-Key if this is the first time you flashed ur phone.

Ok, I got everything up and running pretty easily. The only issue im having now is GPS. I loaded up google maps and it works fine, but it's not finding any satellites. What is the gpsmode=4 you are talking about ?

Congrats on getting it up and running
The mode 4 was a joke regarding one of the other threads in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423231) which, incidentally, is where I would point you for GPS issues. Basically, you will need to get your phone into Service Programming mode via QPST and change some settings for the gpsOne chip. I say read through the thread (ignore some of the ehh....how should i put this....disagreements) and come come up with your own conclusion as to what the mode 4 issue is and what you need to do. Basically, If one doesn't work for you, try the other
