Does anyone have just the OS ROM portion of the new VZW MR1 update? If so could you link it or explain how you disassemble the NBH file? What tools did you use and do you know of a good thread to learn to make your own kitchen?
Yes, I have searched for these. Kitchen one just returns too many results. The Stock OS querry returns too many unrelated posts. I have seen it floating around before.
Any help is appreciated with any portion of this post.
Thanks!

First, you need to extract the self-extracting EXE that Verizon/HTC made.
Download the utility called NBHUtil. This will extract the NBH file and create NB files. In order to compile the individual files into an NBH again, use NBHGen, found in the kitchen under tools, with the following schema...
***Sample
TITA1000
00000000
VZW2.09
USA
200,0_SPL.nb
600,1_Splash.nb
601,2_SubSplash.nb
900,New_ExtROM.nb
300,3_Radio.nb
400,4_os-new.nb
*** End Sample
1 - is the phone model. Must be written as TITA1000
2 - CID
3 - Version
4 - Region Code
5 - 10 - these are the individual files.
first 3 digits is the area of memory to write the file. These MUST be as the sample. Then a comma and the "File Name". In order to create an NBH file that only has one, just delete the other lines. For OS only make it like this...
** OS Only
TITA1000
00000000
DCD_3.2.6
USA
400,4_os-new.nb
*** End OS Only
Edit: Forgot to explain NBHGen. It is a command line utility. Create the "Sample" text above and name it ****.txt (whatever you want to call it). Then run in CMD prompt..... nbhgen ****.txt. All the files must be in the same directory. If it finds the txt file, and the nb files, it will successfully create the NBH file as Ruu_signed.nbh
** OS Only
TITA1000
00000000
DCD_3.2.6
USA
400,4_os-new.nb
*** End OS Only

This isn't a dcd rom so why would you call it DCD_3.2.6? Should be whatever the output from nbhextract gives.

Yes. I am aware... it's just a sample. You can call it whatever you want. Obviously don't use somebody's "Copyrighted" name. LOL.

Quick Question. I noticed the NBH tool you posted as the ability to make and NBH files as well as tear them down. Would you use the NBH Gen program to generate NBH files over this NBHUtil that you posted?
EDIT: Nevermind! I built my first OS only ROM from these two tools. My next question is how do I break the OS.NBH or NB down into the actual kitchen files. I would assume that is the next step to creating your own kitchen, correct? Long ago on my Apache I used the DogGuy Kitchen maker with success. I tried that the other day and it made a mess of my Titan, hehe. Any suggestions? Alos, I would prefer to learn command line if at all possible. I hate GUI's. Yes I really did say that. I hate GUI's.
These tools are in the kitchen as well. There is a readme attached.

I've used the NBH tool to build it... but it came out funky. So I just use the NBHGen utility

Ok, same thing here. Otherwise everything is working exactly as you described. Thanks.
Will try the the IMAGEFS tool now.
This is too easy... So far...
Another question but sort of off topic. Is there a way to grab a ROM NB or NBH file from my phone? If so would it bring back all the custom apps and settings?

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 ?
Hi folks!
I've got a few questions..
Dont burn me down with *search wiki* TRUST ME, I DID!..I didn't even want to start a thread.
I use "Der Hermes Rom Koch v0.99.6.1* It works great! *but it doesnt open (for example) 04_ExtROM.nb, I get the error; "...Critical Error: Couldn't create imgfs_raw_data.bin"
But what I wanted to know is;
#1 How can I make an extended rom .nb (with my own files (.CAB's))
#2 And when I want to edit an OS.nb, how do I know what the normal (os wm6) files are and how do I know what file's to remove that are added in the OS.nb, by another person.
*hope you understand my questions
*I really used search!!!!

At the moment there is no "autmatic" tool to create a ExtROM nb file, you can put what you want on your unlocked extROM folder and then use rbmc command from bootloader to dump the ExtROM, capture the output and reconstruc it with xxd (unix tool), but this is a very manual process and a Pain-in-the-Ass(tm). HOWEVER AnDim announced he'll release writing support for his ExtROM tool soon, see here:

There are several methods to do this, probably someone with more experience than me can tell u more clever methods, for a simple one, you can use bepe's package tool, and all that is not converted to a RK package means has been manually added to the rom by the person who did it.

Hi all, I'm trying to make Fido Call Display to work on my Device, and I found the solution here. However the solution requires me to cook the rilphone.dll file into the ROM that I'm using (NAFT's v2.3). I've never cooked a ROM before and I'm far from understanding the procedure, but I don't think it's that hard to add a file in a cooked ROM. Can you guys help me out with this?
Please show me how to add/replace rilphone.dll in NAFT's v2.3 ROM. Thank you.

Yes, the reason my method does not work is because the rilphone.dll is not signed with a trusted certificate as I stated..
Pretty much leaves the only option as cooking it in, unless you are already using a ROM with a modified nk.exe in XIP to disable certificate checking.. then you can just drag and drop rilphone.dll and reboot.. but since stock ROMs are not modified in such a way, you cook it in, as all files cooked into ROM are trusted..
Unfortunatly there is no way to modify XIP without cooking either.
If a ROM is unprotected (still has it's rgu's) - download a ROM kitchen for your device.. extract the rom of your choice.. replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers.. then re-assemble the ROM.. no registry manipulation needed.
For the raphael ROM kitchen, name your ROM "RUU_Signed.nbh", put it in \BaseROM
Run RaphaelKitchen.bat
select "e" for extract, then "a" for "From RUU_Signed.nbh"
let it go through its motions, when it's done replace rilphone.dll in \OEM\OEMDrivers
again in RaphaelKitchen.bat select "cf" then "b"
click "BuildOS" tab
click "Load ROM" button
navigate to RaphaelKitcken folder (has subfolders OEM, ROM, SYS, etc), press ok
click green "Go" button
when done, close the window
again the kitchen will go through some motions, when it pops up XVI32 and says "Page Pool Changer" in the command prompt window simply close xvi32
now it should prompt to flash to your device.. and you're done

Ya, I tried it with NAFT's v2.3, but it seems that the file is protected... the file can't be read.
I'm not sure I understand, you tried to cook the file into ROM and it gave you an error about it being protected? Or do you mean you tried to copy the file to the device, and it wouldn't let you overwrite? If that's the case that's why I suggest renaming rilphone.dll to rilphone2.dll before you copy to device, and then change the registry to point to that.. that way you don't have to overwrite the file that's already on the device.

hmm, sounds like the ROM kitchen is having a problem handing the .nbh you fed it, try it with a stock nbh and see if it works..
the rom you are trying to extract may be protected from extraction.
Just to make sure, you are trying to extract the ruu_shipped.nbh in \baserom.. which is the ROM image, somewhere in the range of 50 to 200mb large..

I redownload the Rom and it seems to work now. I can finally extract it.
As for the rilphone.dll... do you have the right one for Rogers Display? and the one that will work for Fido as well?
edit: I successfully reflashed my ROM, but the display thing doesn't work. Beside replacing rilphone.dll is there any reg I need to change? (can you give me the right rilphone.dll file?
I got the rilphone.dll file here
Sucessfully cooked in NaFT's v3.1, however it still doesn't work. It always show unknown Caller.
any help here would be much appreciated
how can i use a kitchen, i have several from dcd, scrosler, and no2chem that ive wanted to try out but cant, to my understanding i have the latest kitchen from ppckitchen.org and have tried putting the .rar kitchen files to my buildos/kitchen folders but cant get them to show up for my selections, how can i do this? do they have to be in a folder??? do i have to extract them??
1 download kitchen RAR file
2 extract to desktop
3 run build os
4 enjoy
ok, do you mean run the .bat file or what? also, what i mean is how do i use it with the ppckitchen???
yes run the .bat file. kitchens are premade in order to "cook" your ownish version of the rom. you can add applications in OEM form to customize the kitchen further. if you have a kitchen for all those roms that you talked about, you need only that specific kitchen that you want to try. cook your rom say in dcd's kitchen, then flash the rom and try it out. honestly, you'd probably be better off using the .exe and flashing a standard version of the kitchen.
I myself am having the same problem. I downloaded DCD beta kitchen but how do I get BuildOS to see the kitchen. I am looking for exact locations to extract the files and where exactly I need to run BuildOS from. Like the normal program files directory or in the unzipped kitchen directory.

DCD's kitchen works by itself. You do not put it in the PPC kitchen.
Just download DCD's kitchen, extract to its own folder, run the batch file.

When I do this a DOS window opens and says relocating modules. The a BuildOS window opens and a bar on the bottom moves across while it is loading or doing something. The DOS window then asks me to put the phone in bootloader and the RUU opens. Shouldn't I be selecting OEM and packages to include first? Am I running the kitchen wrong?

Both of those are odd problems I haven't seen before. Maybe posting what OS you're working in (XP/Vista, 32 or 64 bit) might help some other people help you. My experience with the kitchen is limited to 32 bit XP and I haven't had any problems.

Hi,
I have been using a few kitchens but none of them can dump its own generated ROM back, what I did is:
1. use this kitchen to create RUU_SIGNED.NBH.
2. use this kitchen to dump from NBH file just created.
3. No OEM and SYS directory are created or the directory are created but no files inside.
Can anyone recommend a kitchen which can have files sorted to OEM and SYS in step 3?

Hey HTC_FUZE, Why do you want/need to dump your own ROM? Surely if you have the kitchen - the OEM and SYS are already there! Why don't you just recook with the changes that you want to make to it?
If your trying to dump somebody else's ROM then it may be protected. Some chefs protect their ROMs from being dumped.
Secc
just in case my hdd is dead or files corrupted, so I still have chance to extract rom from my phone and get the same dump as before

My best advice to you is to do what i do BACK UP!!! When i first started i never backed my kitchen up, then i lost my whole kitchen, had to start from scratch!! Now, every couple of builds i backup the whole kitchen to a rar and save on a external drive.
A few weeks ago my working kitchen got corrupted somehow, i just restored the rar, imported the new build and was cooking again in no time - without the backup, i'd be knackered!!!
Secc
The OEM folders unfortunately end up in the SYS folder when you dump them. Simply pull them out and put them into the OEM folder and you're set. Something to do with the kitchens recreating the DSM's incorrectly.
@jwzg:
Correct; unfortunately, most kitchens strip the .DSM/.RGU during ROM compilation. Ervius tried to implement a method to preserve the .DSM/.RGU for decompilation but it didn't work as he'd hoped.
@HTC_FUZE:
You need to backup your working kitchen; unfortunately there's no other way. I usually do the following:
File copy the kitchen to a backup HDD
File copy the compiled .NBH I used on the device to a backup HDD
.RAR the kitchen
You could go one extra step and burn the lot to a CD/DVD.
HTH,
This is what I am doing now. However, I would like to have such a kitchen I mentioned. I found one of the ROMs I downloaded can be dumped and sorted like official ROM. I may ask him which kitchen he uses.
I have a Wizard ROM which can be dumped like this. It was made with with an old kitchen that is incompatible with newer devices.
