I have been reading the posts but I cant figure out how to install the EXT-ROMS. I downloaded the upgrade and the EXT-ROMS. I succesfully flashed the upgrade but am still confused about the EXT-ROMS. Also Where can I see the EXT-ROMS already on my device. I thank you in advance for your help.
Install...
After you unzip the upgrade files to specific folders, you'll see some files including NK.nbf and Radio_.nbf. Then you unzip the ExtROM file to another folder or same folder as before (this is recommended) and you'll files including ms_.nbf. Well, whatever you do just make sure that ms_.nbf file is inside the upgrade folder (together with NK.nbf and Radio_nbf). Then flash again your ROM by clicking HimaUpgradeUt.exe, follow the instructions and don't disconnect from the power. It is best you soft reset the handset before do this. I hope this will help
more help please
OK here in lies the problem. I downloaded HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR with the main upgrade files. There is no ms_.nbf file in the HIMA_WM_2K3_EXTROM.RAR how do I either create or get one?
Search around the forum....
R u located in Asia? Cause, if u r then u can use ExtROM by Sin or ZeroXtreme. U can find the file in the forum, try to search by the Author Sin or ZeroXtreme. If you want to make one then use ER2003Edit_1_2_20 then add file that u only need. However, it is best to read the forum by Sin as he/she explain the guide step by step and tell u what the file for. The guide is easy to follow (according to me), happy hunting and try. Please be careful, if u don't really understand or know better to ask around first. U don't want to have an "expensive brick" rite?
hi
before installing Tom rom I have decided to dump my original rom in case I needed to put it back.
anyway I have been able to dump the 4 Raw files. now I see that in the Kaiser section there is a guide on how to reconstruct a rom to make it flashable and I wonder if I can do the same with my Niki.
any expert could pls confirm this?
thanks in advance for your help.
cheers
edit: I ve just noticed that there are some other threads about this subject...anyway if someone can confirm the right procedure would be great. thanks
Yeah, also wondered about that Kaiser rebuilding tutorial.
Talked to a few people over PM who have the same problem.
But even in the Threads nobody who knows more about flashing/ROMs seem to be willed to help out with a fre informations. :-/
Still confused about the needed baserom in this thread.
-Is this available for Niki? (Where)
-Why do i need it / why can't i rebuild a rom ONLY with my phone and need something like a bsserom?
-if i use baserom from a english device, what will happen if I use with my german RAW files?

a baserom is nothing more then a normal rom, just put a rom you like, together with the dumped filen in the kitchen folder. maybe ruu needs some information from the rom file itself, which are not present on the device.
what you find on your device is just that what you dumped. (but after hardreset)
.. i know that this not matters for you anymore. but eroG needs to know.

well yes I defenitely needed to know these things...
now, if it is not of too much trouble for you, where do I find a baserom and is there a guide on how to do it...just to avoid stupid mistakes while doing it?
thanks a lot
So, from baserom there are not much information used. (Perhaps Header information for Rom file, or something like that)
My new ROM is (more or less) the same result as on my device?
And Baserom isn't a own file format, i can use the wwe-rom postet here in the forum?
thx for help

request guide on how to get dumped rom back to device
i've read alot about how to dump rom from device and how to get dumped rom back to device.
the more i read i got confident how to dump rom .... did it .. and now have my 4 raw files.
on the other hand the more i read about how to get dumped rom back to device ... more and more i got unsure how to do it.
so please all senior posters and specialists - can you please post a cookbook on how to get it back to the device ?
thanks ! alot and keep up the good work here !
Sackbauer, I totally agree with him.
I have 4 Raw files for a Norwegian ROM, but how do can i "transform" them into a acctually "flash" file?
Please someone with the knowledge, write a "easy to understand/ step by step" guide to the ones that don't have a clue about this..
Ole
im getting kinda confused with this also, dumping the rom is no big deal, but putting it back together and flasing my phone with it, thats the big how to...
I has contact with Tom.
And he busy with vietnamese new year now.
He said will back after 1,2 day and answer all questions..
Don't worry
... good to hear that tom will take care after his new year ;-)
also keep my fingers crossed that someone is able to check radio rom and possibly enable gps and wifi ...
let me try first:
- download this kitchen
- Copy your part01.raw and part02.raw into the BaseRom Folder of this kitchen
- Copy a Nike RUU_signed.nbh into the BaseRom Folder (e.g. tom_codons rom just open the. exe with winrar and extract the file)
- Open !Begin.cmd, press 2 and do everything, what is prompted
- Open !Cook.cmd and do what is prompted
- when HTC Rom Tool is opened press Rom_Builder and ... right from System. Then Choose os_new.nb and press built
i wrote this without testing again. so if i missed something tell me, please and i'll try to help.
sounds good !
will try it later this evening and will let you know ...
thanks so far
omg .... it appears that i just "cooked" my first rom out of my dumped files from my niki .
thanks therealholg for your guide !! thats what i was looking for.
the only thing which makes me a bit nervous about reflashing my just cooked rom onto my device is that during cooking it sometimes says "file not found".
but after ignoring these messages i have a nbh file which obvioulsy was not in the folder before !!! ;-) yeah
so, now i know how to revert the process but i am to anxious to try it as this is my only niki.
lets see and wait what others say about the step by step guide of therealholg ...
in anyway - you made my day therealholg
cheers
wow... thanks for this...
tryed it out and works...
the only thing is that it still says Niki Project on the boot screen...
everything else works just fine

What to do with part00.raw and part03.raw?
Part00.raw is the are with IPL, SPL and Splashscreen. We don't want to override our new SuperCID Bootloaders
Part03.raw is content of your local storage ... i think you can't flash this area with ruu.
hi all friends...!
I'm just back from some days busy with vietnamese new year.
And have made code kitchen for reconstruct a dumped rom niki device.
What we need to do now ?
1. Copy part02.raw u dumped from original rom to Tools folder and run step1.bat
2. Extract RUU_signed.nbh from Ship rom and put in ShipRom folder.
Link download :
http://www.asia.htc.com/download/RU....707.09_Radio_Nike_1.58.16.27_signed_Ship.zip
Or here :
http://www.asia.htc.com/download/RU....871.14_Radio_Nike_1.58.16.27_signed_Ship.zip
3. Run Reconstruct a dumped rom.cmd in my Tools and wait some times.When page DOS done it will exit .U go to Update_Rom folder already have new RUU_signed.nbh.This files reconstructed your original Rom with your languages.
Have funs..!

Tools for relocating modules and files in XIP found here (Misar)
BuildOS tool from Kaiser Kitchen (Its got package tool and porting tool built-in) (Alex)
BenThon's MSCEInf and Ervius Package Creator to the for creating OEM Packages out of Cabs. Tutorial refered to creating the packages is here (Ervius & BenThon)
HTC ROM Tools for creating final .nbh file - Attached (Dutty)
FlashBootSplash tool for creating first splash screens - Attached. Usage information here (Vukile)
TFAT Image Editor for editing ExtROM (author unknown)
HSPL for Gene to be able to flash custom ROMs here - (procedure) (Olipro)
Excellent guidance for upgrading Gene ROM by Mobix here (Mobix)
I know there are a lot many other files for editing the rgu files and creating hv files but I didnt try them. I dumped the ROM successfully and still learning to delete or add packages. Although I am not saying that I successfully flashed my Gene with the ROM I cooked, but learning never stops till someone expert comes along to explain things and to guide us cooking wannabes to a nice kitchen and a nice personalised ROM Your suggestions and guidance and advices are all more than welcomed here
The post below is where I am going to post the packages I create and the one below that is where I am going to put up the problems I face so no one else will repeat and brick their phones
Also attached the original Gene RUU, just in case
I did my part of dumping the OS.nb in HyperCore as mentioned in anichillus's thread here. Then I used the package tool to make packages from the dump and transfer the SYS and OEM folder to Build. I haven't yet mastered the art of adding or deleting the packages here but I certainly deleted the useless images and theme files which eats up space. Post that I did the BuildOS which created the OS-New.nb very nicely. Used HTCrT tool to create the new RUU_Signed.nbh with the OS and ExtRom. While flashing the RUU showed "Flash Write Error" at about 99%. Need guidance after or prior to that, although will not stop trying and will keep posting the progress so far here
OEM Packages created by me
(A) OEM Packages created by me with Alex's procedures:
DciNoBar
FTouchFlo_V1_4_1
FTouchFloConfig_V0_9
HomePluginWM6

DOWNLOAD Package A
Problems I have faced so far
When I tried to recreate the hive files (default and user) Problem was faced in default.hv. Attached CMD screen, default.rgu and boot.rgu file - Solution: Found by Orefkov here
After I tried to flash my Gene with my custom cooked ROM, it left me with a blank phone. Although I passed the 1st splash screen then it was blank - Solution: Found by Anichillus here
Thanks to following experts for guiding me and lending a helping hand

@orefkov
did your gene comeback?
did it die?
Work with registry.
Some key's names in gene registry have '\' (slash) symbol in it.
Rgucomp dont work with this. You need replace '\' in key's names on '\\'.
I write simple script for it.
try to make the chs rom ver.
but need your help.

hi
Gene_Kitchen_6.5_Beta.rar please any one can give me a exe file
@Soni: There is nothing like exe file. You will get a .nbh file which is updated through ROM update utility.
Please read some of the threads for updating the ROM else you may brick your HTC Gene device. Also ensure that you are using the right version (OLD or NEW GENE).
@soni:

i am notable to build .nbh file.when i click,on build_xpr file,sm error cmes
I have tried this kitchen, and worked fine, but when I add some packages to the SYS folder, they wont build in the rom. In buildOS, I can see those packages are unchecked(while cooking).
How can I add packages to the rom?
^Xumit: Remove the file option.xml from your packages. You wont see them listed in the build os then, but the packages will compile fine. This file is responsible for that description appearing in buildos and by defualt it has option set to not compile the package, for some strange reasons. So if you dont want to show the package in buildos gui, which is of not much use, just delete this file. Otherwise, change the option inside it to include the package.

Hello all,
Not sure if I posted this in the correct forum.. I am a Windows Mobile user (6.1 & 6.5). Currently using the Samsung Intrepid and Treo Pro.
Could someone please contact me regarding a custom CAB file for my devices? From what i am told, it is very easy to make if you are familiar with CAB files.
Please contact me at: [email protected]
or IM: [email protected]
I am willing to make a modest donation through Paypal for any help.
Hi
Get a copy of wince cab manager and make your own cab. after installing start with an existing cab, double click it, remove the existing files, drag and drop the files you want in the files dir, and save. For registry go to file>>import>>from reg, choose the value (*.reg ) and click. Save the cab and there you are
This one is free http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221
The most important is to try and learn, I was like you a few weeks ago
Is anyone able/willing to help on this?
Thanks!
What are you trying to make a cab of? If it doesn't contain personal info., just post the files here and what they do.
A little personal.. If you can help, please contact me at the email below.
Thanks!
dude did you even read the 2nd post?
