Hi,
I have been on this site for about a week now. I was drawn here by the desire to take my Imate JamIn up to WM6.
So I pulled from the web the file:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID_QTEK and hurled it onto my PDA
It went from Imate to QTEK but still worked pretty well. So I then went and loaded Upgrade Happy from a site in Roumania.
This loaded but was distinctly unimpressive and unstable so I managed to downgrade to the WM5 file above again.
Then I tried Smart1's v2 WM6 file and this went on OK. However, I have experienced a few issues with the battery and other things like Timewizard, etc.
So I have gone back to the NVID_QTEK WM5 file again.
BUT I would really like to put back on my Imate ROM which I have stored away. Sadly, whenever I try and load the ROM it states that the version is lower and I can only do an UPGRADE ( I get a 286 error).
I have searched here and Google and think that I can Un CID my phone (not actually sure what this does mind). I have read posts suggesting that once done I can load any version of any Prophet ROM on my PDA.
I went off and ended up on PDAMobiz and pulled down a file called:
PDAMobiz.com_ProphetAKU2_unlockCID.rar
But this site is incredibly slow and the file is corrupt when I finally get it down.
Can anyone explain to me whether it is possible to get to reload my earlier ROM version Imate ROM? If it is can anyone explain what I need to do and perhaps put up a link to an area where I can pull the tools down.
This website has a great reputation for helping each other out and I am sure that my ignorance will be forgiven,
Kind Regards,
Sam.
Hi
This is because you have upgraded your ipl/spl and these can't be downloaded.
But don't worry it's not a problem
if you have the original rom you should have a .nbf file?
You can use typho5.exe -x xxx.nbf (whatever it is called) this will extract the individual elements (ipl/spl/os/extrom/radio/splash screens) as .nb files.
Then use nb2nbf to build a new nbf file without spl/ipl parts. copy this file back to your backup folder (rename the original one first) and install again
Good Luck
Thanks - I have just a couple more dumb questions...
FlykThewiz,
Many thanks for your help.
I have the file:JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_shi.exe
Do you know how I get the .NBF out of it?
Also,
You couldn't point me to the tools you mention could you?
If I do what you said then do I get back my own Imate Splash screen too?
Do you know if I will suffer any problems with things being different versions?
Once again many thanks I will let you know how I get on.
Kind Regards,
Sam.
You can use winrar (free download - search google if you don't have it) to extract the files in your exe.
One of the file will be the nbf.
I will sort out the instructions for you but I have to go out for a couple of hours at the moment.

flykthewiz,
You are simply The MAN
Many, Many thanks,
Sam.
I don't know about being the man - i had the same problem myself.
Attached is a zip file with the two tools you need.
I suggest you create a folder called c:\rom and copy the contents of your exe file and these to programs into it.
goto a dos cmd window and cd \rom
type "typho5 -x nk.nbf" (no quotes)
you will then have a number of *.nb files in c:\rom
rename nk.nbf to nk.org
send me the list of nb files you have.
ZIPPED with winzip 12
Hi flykthewiz
is 92000000-Splash.nb is the imate pic when softreset
cause am using AKU3.3.13.ASERG after I unlocked my Jamin with RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID .... and want to go back only for the Imate screen instead of QTEK, and can I flash with it only
thanks
Splash Screens
There are two splash screens - the one you mention is the first (often blank)
The second is 9d000000-xxx.nb this is the one that is displayed most of the time when the phone is booting. To enter this in nb2nbf you need to manually enter "HTC Logo" as the image name.

FlykTheWiz,
Thanks for the tools.
The files I have are as follows:
30/03/2007 13:50 59,768,832 80040000-OS_0.nb
30/03/2007 13:50 786,432 91000000-SPL_1.nb

16/09/2005 12:20 53,248 nb2nbf.exe
13/03/2006 19:09 784,972 typho5.exe
I have loaded up the nb2nbf file but have no idea what to do with it - The only option appears to be for a Tornado...
Thanks,
Sam.
Ok
fill in nb2nbf like the image in the attached zip file.
Important notes:
1. use the ... browse buttons to select your files and the length field will be filled in for you (the image shows mostly zeros)
2. the image name for the extended rom is Extension Rom (not Extended) and you have to type it manually - its not in the drop dow list.
3. the start address for OS.nb is 80040000 (not 82040000 which the program defaults to)
4. you need to manually type HTC Logo in image type - its not in the list.
Do not add the ipl and spl files! (these are the ones that are causing your problems)
When its all filled in click on Translate and when that is finished exit the program.
If you have copied all of the contents of your extracted exe to c:\ROM you should have a program called ROMUpdateUtility.
Connect your pda to usb and run this program and follow the instructions (you've done this before )
After its finished your phone will hard reset and you should have your original ROM.
It doesnt matter that ipl and spl are different versions
Good Luck

Nearly there
FlykTheWiz,
Many thanks for the instructions. I have done what you suggested with NB2NKF
However, When I try to run my RUU utility I get error code 238 Cannot Read the file.
I extracted all files into a single directory and replaced the default .NBF with my new one. Then ran the RUU tool.
Am I being a numpty?
Many thanks,
Sam.
hmmm
Try the appropriate RUU from the attached
If your ipl ends in .000 use G3 version
if ends in .0001 use G4 version
T H A N K Y O U
I would just like to thank you for your kindness and patience. I have now got the HTC device reblown to the original condition that I started from (with the exception of the IPL/SPL).
Using the G4 utility worked for me.
On the way I have learned a great deal and appreciate your assistance.
Thank you very much,
Sam.
No problem at all
flyk (definitely) thewiz !!!
Flykthewiz... Many thanks for your input to this thread... your tutorial has helped me (and many of us) more than almost ANY other on this site!!! You are obviously very knowledgeable in this "art"!!!!
Since we have not seen much input from Jesterz or Smart1 lately (I can understand that it is time-consuming...!) , can I suggest that maybe you could take up the reigns and offer to this community your first Prophet ROM build??? (Any +AKU base will be a help??)
Please do consider doing this - I *know* you can do this and although I appreciate it can take a lot of your personal time and effort to achieve.. I am sure that your contribution will be appreciated and valued by us all, if u were to attempt such a project!!?
If not, we do understand... but please stay around here and continue to help us all with your flykth-wiz-dom!!!

Thanks for your vote of confidence, but I have to say - you must be joking
I only started looking at modifying ROM's 2 days ago and it is a minefield. I have absolutely every respect for Jesterz, Smart1, Nghianha, and all of the guys over at PDAMobiz. I think it will be a long while before I am anything like of their calibre!

You never told anybody how to do it and then you complain of constant requests
I don't want to cook Wm6 I just want to change some files in my current WM5 Rom!
Could you please tell me how can I do it?
It does not need to be told how to do it, but told how to search ! A lot of people here know how to do it, just GOOGLE it !
sorry, I've already searched... Maybe I'm searching badly!
Could you please help me?
Basically you need to extract the ROM installer, you will find an nbf file in it, then get an NBF file converter, to convert it into some sort of editable format, then you start cooking the ROM, placing whatever you want, and in the end, convert it back into NBF

Need help too
Yea, Please..my probs are the reconverting my data into a .nb->nbf file...after flashing My phone hangs in First Bootscreen...please help!Only Reflashing helps...i really want to cook a rom by myself.
Ive used THIS kitchen...but it is for Wizard-devices only....but i think,it can be used for Tornado,too.
as far as we tried we could not make a proper dump of the wm5 tornado...
but i did manage to build a rom kitchen with wm6 for the tornado...this was a whileago and the base rom is the same as the current available...if ther is enougth request i may be inclined to update the RK and release it.
to get you started here is some pointers.... you can use the same tools from the wizard, imgfs tools.
When I use nb2nbf_wizard.exe, is this created nk.nbf flashable for my Tornado (german XDA Phone aka HTC Douton)?
There is an nb2nbf_Tornado File out there,too, but my Phone stuck in first BootScreen.If i use the Wizard-Tools here and use the nb2nbf_Tornado,(by retyping the Start Adress from 8004000(for Wizard) to 8204000 (for Tornado)) it works well fine, Flashing works well,too,but stuck in first Screen every time.Ive only delete the Solitaire-Folder,but it dont work for me..maybe you have more luck!Or...faria may Post a RomKitchen exclusive for our lovely Tornado..
Have you removed the first two bytes of the initflashes.dat? When not, it can't be booting correctly! That was my mistake when I started to cook my own ROM's for my HTC Prophet (XDA Neo)!
What?
really?I may think,it is only needed after a Registryedit....thank you.!
edit:did not work...

i have the same problem like you.
I've made a nk.nbf from the *.nb files with nb2nbf_tornado.exe.
I've also extracted *.nb (OS, IPL, SPL, etc) from nk.nbf from windows mobile 6 alpha and then 'translated' those nb files with nb2nbf_tornado.exe. Same result: succesfull flash, stuck in first screen every time..
so not the "initflashes.dat" file is guilty..
...and nobody out there may help us?
arpy, it seems that if I include only OS without IPL & SPL in nb2nbf, all are OK..
But still with my modified OS does not get over the first splash screen.. maybe i've done smth wrong. In dump folder, I've added some files (some overwritten), i've removed some files, modified initflashfiles.dat (last line blank, + removed the two first bytes with winex), modified the hv files (saved in unicode standard, first line REGEDIT4, last line blank.. complied: no errors). replaced carrier_splash and shutdown
that's all what I've modified ...
edit:
arpy, try to translate only the OS module with nb2nbf_tornado. and tell me the result. also, tell me what changes you've made
edit2: found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327 . improved tools
edit3: i've dumped my modified OS module with tadzio's ImgfsTools and discovered that initflashfiles.dat had the two bytes that i've removed with win hex.. what the?!
i've removed again, and run the whole build rom process again , but this time with tadzio's ImgfsTools.
Same result.. (stuck in first screen)
Maybe i've modified something wrong.
edit4: i've repeated the whole process and OS module flash and work ok . I haven't tried yet with all modules, only OS. I think I've made some mistakes when trying to replace drivers.
@DSF
Can you post a Step-By-Step Solution?I want to figure out my prob...which tools do you use?And how?May you Post your ROM?
well, i will post summary. i hope to release a "tornado romcook kitchen" and more detailed steps these days.
here is my OS module:
http://rapidshare.com/files/45915194/RUU.rar.html
right now i'm trying to figure out how to make the sd driver from iphone/other roms to work on my custom rom. every time i try other sd driver, i cannot view the card.
i'm using the tadzio's ImgfsTools (see link in my previous post).
steps:
- download typho5.exe, ImgfsTools, nb2nbf_tornado (you can get them by searching via gogole)
- copy all those files in the same folder, eg: ROMDEV
- copy nk.nbf in ROMDEV
Commands:
1) typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
2) imgfsfromnb.exe 82040000-OS.nb imgfs_raw_data.bin
3) imgfstodump.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
Now the OS files are dumped in dump folder. Do the changes (delete, copy, modify, etc). When editing registry and initflashfiles.dat file, perform the important steps describeb at http://www.molski.biz/romcooking.html (turn off word wrap and use UNICODE in notepad, etc). If you're dune with those things do next:
4) imgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin imgfs_new.bin
5) imgfstonb imgfs_new.bin 82040000-OS.nb 82040000-OS_final.nb
if no error occured in the whole process, run 6) nb2nb_tornado.
There, chose the nb files, OS will be 82040000-OS_final.nb and not 82040000-OS.nb. Don't forget to use the correct image name. (eg: for 82040000-OS_final.nb chose OS)
The language, oem, operator version, cid can be left blank.
When you're done, press translate.
Copy the generated nk.nbf file in the rom update folder (RUU), execute ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the normal flash steps..
That's all.
Thanks to all those ppl that made this possible
PS: if you flash only the OS module (without IPL & SPL), even if the update proces crashes, you will not 'brick' your phone . Mine happen to crash on 2%.. i transpired instantly

Hi pof.
This is a great idea and I thank you for the instructions but I got to #6 and am so new to ROM building(virgin, in fact ) that I must ask....
In the htc rom tool do I leave all fields blank except for the splash screen entry? And where do I enter that? I assume that I type splash.nb into the splash1 field.
Else, do I fill in all of the fields such as country ID, version, IPL?
many thanks.
karlo
one more question. does this flash delete my current tytn's settings (do i need to flash splash screens after hard reset or anytime)?
re
Is there a way to make a .cab file to change the bootsplash image? Also i see some custom roms have a 3d intro (maybe flash?) how would i go about doing this?
Thanks
thanks a lot man
To change Splash Boot screen, made a picture 320x320 pixel 96dpi save it in .png and rename in welcomehead.96.png
Use Resco Explorer, copy, paste and replace the welcomehead.96.png in folder Windows, make a soft reset.
So, this will be the correct tool to use to format images for the Titan?

How do you run bmp converter? Not work for me!
I get 240 file eroor when trying to flash it to my tytn2.
Optical Illusion Splash Screens
Some optical illusions:
Animated?
Since the image is in .png format is it safe to assume that we can NOT load an animated splash screen??.. Also does flashing via the steps in the first post accomplishes the same as replacing the welcomhead.96.png manually??
Thank you..
jadehawk: you are correct that the welcomehead.96.png is non-animated, if you create an animated .gif and rename it to .png it may work in some programs that read inside the file for the relevant code to know how to display it but most programs including the wm6 bootup hook will not display it how it should so don't bother
Just to clarify that the original post by pof is "THE ONLY WAY" at present to replace the splash screen on initial boot of the phone, the welcomehead.96.png usage is on windows boot (some people have a 3rd animated .gif in between the 2, but this doesn't work on all models even with the registry entries in place, i have tried on my T-Mobile).
hope that helps.
Russ
Thank you
Great thank you for clearing that out.. for now I am just happy replacing the animated.gif file in the windows folder with something other than the HTC animated one.. I have tried to make my own ROM using the kaiser kitchen but so far It has never worked at least not like the really simple tutorials I have found here.. still waiting for a better tutorial with screenshots and all.. so far i will stick with the ones I get from here and use the sprite backup to restore the applications I want loaded in the ROM.. thank you

Hi guys....
I've been a member of this comunity for 2 years now, but posted very litle, because I would be mostly spamming, re-interating what others have said, with" wow, this is fast...nice job"...and such..so i only post when I realy have to.
I downloaded the hypercore kitchen, and after some reading of the contained links and txt files, decided to have a go at it...
I would like to target Tomal's v8 but although very fast, it seems to have a significant number of com bugs...So maybe I'll go with v7.7...
I copied the nk.nbf file to the correct directory, and ran the decoder, but it errors on the next step saying that there is no OS.nb file...
Should this file be extrated from the nk.nbf?
Is this a problem with the nk.nbf file I'm using?
I would apreciate some help on this, as I'm looking for a full flavored cake, but to my taste...see I'm "diabetic" so I have to be extremly caution with what I cook...
When you decoding nk.nbf, decode it to OS.nb (change second line) instead nk.nba.
Something else to be aware of with Tomal's ROMs is that he ships all his RGUs in a single RGU.cab file.
You'll need to extract the contents of this file into the dump directory AFTER the imgfstodump and BEFORE the pkgtool step.
-PJC
Thanks for the quick answers, guys...
Something pop-up as a doubt...can I cook from an usb stick?(installing the kitchen, and workind directly trought the usb stick)???
I'm getting starved.....I can't even turn on the oven...
I have nstaledthekitchen over and ove again.
Changed the settings so it reads "Universal", copied the nk.nbf of my choice to the Extract/source folder, and whent to the Panel/extract and runned "DumpRom"...So far so good....
The DOS windows warns me that the file must be in the correct folder, so I double check....I press return...HTC Extender Rom Tool starts and prmpts me what I want to do and were is the extended rom...I thought it was embeeded in the nk file, but since Tomal provided with and empty extenden Rom, I downloade it and poited to it...Hit decode...
A big window opens with some file paths, so I check them to know were the files are going to...and using the above tip, change the name of the fat file to OS.nb, Hit decode...I'm happy, the window says "Decode sucessfull", so I hit "OK"...
I am agin at the Htc Extended Rom tool, so I hit exit(? done it right ?)...
The Dos window now tells me that it cannot find the ON.nb(? Didnt I just created it?)....
So I'm stuck....
The constructions workers haven't yet finished furnishing my kitchen, so I have no ingredients to work with....
Any chef willing to help me make a simple meal?????

A big window opens with some file paths, so I check them to know were the files are going to...and using the above tip, change the name of the fat file to OS.nb, Hit decode...I'm happy, the window says "Decode sucessfull", so I hit "OK"...
I am agin at the Htc Extended Rom tool, so I hit exit(? done it right ?)...
The Dos window now tells me that it cannot find the ON.nb(? Didnt I just created it?)....
So I'm stuck....
The constructions workers haven't yet finished furnishing my kitchen, so I have no ingredients to work with....
Any chef willing to help me make a simple meal?????

With HTC Extender Rom Tool you must extract nk.nbf not ext_rom, and when extracting name it OS.nb (i thing it is 2nd line in tool)
Perhaps the would-be chef should read a cookery book?
There's a very, very good guide in this forum, which is what I started off with and had no problems whatsoever, but I can't for the life of me remember if it was beasty or thingonaspring who wrote it (apologies to the real author if I missed them out!). It also includes some fixes for the batch files.
Remember - the wiki and search are your best friends...

Can't rebuild Ranju 7.7
Hi all.
I gave it a go and tried to rebuild Ranju 7.7.
I could decode it, dump it (yes, I extracted the contents of RGU.CAB to the dump directory), convert the dump to packages etc. So far, so good.
But when I tried to rebuild it, the ImgfsToNb tool gave this error message:
"Partition with file system 0x01 found after IMGFS partition. It's safer to abort here, sorry."
What should I do now?

imgfstonb doesn't seem to support the FLASH disk that's in Tomal's ROMs. I don't know what he uses, but when I've based things on his work, I use a different 'donor' OS.nb for the imgfstonb stage. Obviously, I lose the FLASH disk, but as I don't use it anyway, that's not an issue for me.
^^ yup, exactly, it is due flash disk.
Ok, I understand.
But what is the "donor" os.nb used for?
I've extracted the OEM, SYS en XIP parts. Isn't that enough to compose a new ROM?
What parts are re-used from the original os.nb? And must an alternative donor os.nb be of the same version/build?

As I understand it (and I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong), the donor OS.nb is used as a 'template' for storing the IMGFS into an NB structure. As far as I've been able to tell, pretty much *any* OS.nb from *any* ROM can be used as the template.
Basically, imgfstonb takes 3 arguments - the imgfs file itself, a 'donor' OS.nb, and the 'target' OS.nb final output. This is all hidden by the scripting, but is what I've found by playing with the underlying utilities.
The only restriction I've found is that ROMs that contain Flash disk can't be used as the donor OS.nb.
PJC
Could one of the senior members of this forum please comment on pjc007's statements above?
Is it correct that the donor os.nb is only used to determine the right structure for the ROM?
(I'm asking because I got the impression from other posts on this excellent site that the donor os.nb is used as source for the XIP part, but I don't know for sure)
Well, I have the same matter now, I really want to cook sth to use the way I want a rom to be and share with others as I feel really bad just to download, I hope to upload my own rom and share but I read the instructions again and again , look for sth on the internet, download all the things to my PC that will be used to cook, still not certain what I'm going to do.
My question is if I cook a bad rom, then I up it to my EXEC, Is there any chances for it to die ? Or simply just install another well-known rom to rescue it if my rom jail to boot?
I am looking for the stock TD2 splash/welcome screen, It is the silver TD2 words on black background.
I have tried looking all over the internet but can't seem to find one.

I only have it for the welcome head..the stock splash is dependant on your firmware 6.1 or 6.5..custom rom or stock rom.
Thank you wez89.
I am thinking how can I convert this into splash screen or .CAB file to install it in my TD2. Which RUU should I use if it needs to? Do I have to HSPL?
I have upgraded my stock ROM to 2.53.707.4 (76952) WWE. Stock SPL 2.51.
Where can I find Stock SPL 2.51 if I want to re-flash it again?

For the initial boot screen, you have to flash with RUU.
Process is .bmp=> .nb => .nbh => flash w/ Topaz RUU.exe
You would need HSPL, the stock 2.51 should be availble now in the HSPL thread.

I would like also to change the first rom boot screen and found here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431161
the tools to convert the bmp=> .nb => .nbh.
BUT this tools is for VGA devices (640x480) like can see on NBHUtil
Please, do you know any link where i can find maybe something more updated?
Here's what you need to do.
1. Find any picture and change it to 480x800 24 bit.bmp and rename it to 1.bmp. Right click on properties and make sure the file size is 1,152,054 bits (very important)
2. Download Splash.zip and extract to where ever you like.
3. Place 1.bmp into the same folder.
4. Run Go.bat (this converts the .bmp to .nbh) and follow prompts (let it complete the conversion)
5. You have now created a new 1.nbh file which you can rename to anything you like
6. From here you can flash the .nbh file just like a ROM .nbh;
a. Rename to TOPAIMG.nbh and place file in the root of your storage card and flash from Bootloader or....
b. Copy Topaz RUU and .nbh file to their own folder. sync your phone to your PC and run the RUU.exe.
ENJOY!
**Notes: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED HSPL FIRST!!!
This will not wipe your device data.
This covers the bottom 100 pixels(issue on previous versions)
I am not responsible for damages, but have tested and flashed to verify it works.
...and no I can't make it into a cab file for you...
