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 ?
was wondering if someone could tell me where to find the nk.nbf from dcd's 2.2.x roms...want to cook up some custom boot screens, but have NO idea where to find it (or get it from). thanks
You need to extract the nbh from the installer (you can use procmon from sysinternals.exe to find out where the installer extracts it).
After that you need to decompile the NBH using various tools, in which will present you with a 00_OS.nb.
After doing that, you need to extract the splash images from other roms, or create your own, then recompile the NBH.
EDIT: wow first post since 2006, you can tell ive been a leech, glad to give back to the community lol...
I was going to post the contents of the readme file that i'm trying to understand...in order for you to see what i'm being told to do, but I really can't decipher it all that well, so i'm going to attach it. This is what I'm being told to do...
Have you looked in to this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16939
Yeah I read through that...
Thing is...with dcd's latest roms, the only file you get when you extract his nbh is 00_OS.nb
I have my splash.nb already made from the image i chose, but I'm not sure what to do with 00_OS.nb and splash.nb
Make an NBH from them.
You can use Dutty's NBH Tool patched for the Titan.
Since I can't find the original thread where I got it (took me forever to find in the first place) I uploaded it to fileshex.
Download here
I don't have to name my splash.nb something specific when creating the new nbh? It will just know that it's the splash?
Edit: nevermind, after opening duttys tool it's clear on how it works...thanks
Ahhh..one more question...
Is it possible to just take my splash.nb and make an nbh out of that. Then put it into the RUU and flash just the splash? Or must it be merged with the entire rom and flashed?
I have no idea.. I never did it. I want the original Verizon splash screen back instead of the static Verizon logo.
Try it and let us know if it works.
Can someone upload VZW_Startup.gif from \Windows somewhere I can download it?
I'd appreciate it very much
Confirmed.
Just took splash.nb and created an nbh just including the splash fields. I then inserted it into the RUU, flashed, and worked like a charm, no need to include any other part of the OS or anything.
Looks badass...for any help let me know...now that I know what I'm doing
P.S. It WILL hard reset the phone though upon flashing...
I put all the necessary files in a zip and I'm working on an easy step by step readme...so if anyone wants to change their bootscreen send me a pm.
hi!
i am currently using an HTC HD2- ROM version: 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
as you can see i have made no changes to the software since i got it.
i have tried to load in a new radio and a new rom- Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 and
Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V3.0_FINAL... but when i go to load them usoing the update utility i get the message in the image.
thanks, harry.
Hi
From the looks of it, the filename might be incorrect or in the wrong location.
First, put the update utility file(s) in a folder along with the radio file that you want to use. Rename the radio file to ruu_signed.nbh (exactly like that). The try run the update - it should work.
If you follow the above instructions for your ROM file (Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V3.0_FINAL... ) then that should work too! Make sure you rename it as I have said above.
PS you can only update the Radio OR the ROM not both at the same time (as far as I know), so do one after the other.
Latz
Thanks for your reply. i done what you said, but am now getting "ERROR [238] : file read" :S
any ideas?
thanks, harry
Couple of things here
1) did you hardspl the deivce yet?
2) did you try and mount the files with a cd image mounter?
If you haven't done 1 then you can't flash anything that isn't a stock rom and if you did 2 you'll probably want to redownload the files. Also ensure that the path to the file doesn't exceed 256 characters. Some programs still have issues with really long file names
in post 1 that long filename, you didn't show the file extension, you are unzipping the downloaded file? (assuming it comes zipped, most do, zip, rar, 7z file extensions all need unpacking.
you shouldn't actually need to rename the file ruu signed, and you can't have two rom/radio .nbh files in the same folder.

Start with your phone off, hold the volume down Button and power the phone on. If the multi colored screen says HSPL on it, you should be able to flash just fine.

it does come up, but still no joy. i cant think of what im doing wrong!
thaks, harry.
I am having trouble locating this file. It seems many of the links are dead.
I believe the file is named:
RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.18.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0509_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_192501_signed.exe
Also if someone had the 2.23.651.1 RUU that would be awesome.
In case anyone was curious, some kind user provided the RUU here:

is there any way to add/change a file in an official ruu rom?
Like using the old sappimg from the sapphire (htc magic)
if i understand correctly the phone looks at the android-info.txt for version main and on that info it flashes the phone. Correct me if i'm wrong, now we can open those zip files but we can't add or change files in it. so i'm wondering if anyone ever succeeded in doing it. i know those files are signed. but there must be a way to mod those files and put them back on the phones. i tried a lot of zip,rar etc utils to modify but all say mode not implemented. any suggestions.
off topic does anyone have sappdiag files? i looked at an xtc clip video and saw they were used to unlock the phones, this is for a project i'm working on :angel:

I don't think there is any tool available at the moment , but I think it won't be long till one is made,you might also check my post in Windows Mobile\ WP7_OEM_MO_Documentation
It's worth going through.

if they can crack computer systems etc there must be someone who knows how to do this. like i said if u can extract them like normal zips it should not be that hard to add something or change something inside them, i wonder if u could change text in a file inside a zip without opening the zip....
if you can change the misc.img to delude the main version check, it would be easier to change the main version in the android-info.txt,
from:
MainVer: 2.16.181.1
to:
mainver: 3.54.527.6
