Hi all
I posted this in "General" but no one seems to want to answer. Thought I'd try you guys.
I need some files from WM5 QVGA version for my Real VGA hack. Can someone accomodate me?
The files I need are:
browsres.96.dll
coreres.96.dll
exappres.96.dll
instmsgrresources.96.dll
miscres.96.dll
msim.96.dll
officeres.96.dll
outres.96.dll
pegcards.96.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
pptres.96.dll
riresdll.96.dll
shellres.96.dll
shellresapps.96.dll
syncres.96.dll
tapres.96.dll
trares0409.96.dll
tshres.96.dll
Most of these files will be locked so I expect I need someone who knows how to rip the files from the rom image directly (or tell me how to do it).
Thanks for any help.
Does no one want to help? The Universal forum are pestering me to finish this hack but I can't until I get those files.
I'll post a link to a .rar file for you in a few minute ... be patient
Thanks mate.
You are a star.
ok , you can download the archive here
miscres.96.dll , pegcards.96.dll and syncres.96.dll don't exist in my himalaya ... i'have put in the archive the normal dll ...
That is excellent.
I figured that some of the files might not be suffixed with .96 but didn't know for sure.
Once again, thanks for your time on this. Will let you know how it goes.
we are trying to unlock and or dump the rom on the treo 750v. this is a newly released treo made by htc. the treo has an awesome feature called theeaded sms which does chat style sms.
we have tried the grab it program that was on this site with no luck.
does anyone no of a way to get this done? does any have any ideas of why the grab it program doesn't work. does anyone want to help?
thanks, cody
So far we've manage to get someone to try the grab_it tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945
But they are getting a write error. I assumed since the Treo 750v uses a mini-sd card the appropriate version of grab_it would be grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe. I'm trying to get someone to try the grab_it_128_150.exe version to see if that works, since that is the version BeyondTheTech used to extract the Treo 700w rom. The 700w uses a regular sd card though.
I asked the guy that tried grab_it_128_minisd_468.exe what the storage card folder name was set to and they verified that the registry was set to "Storage Card". So it's unclear to me why they are getting a write error. Maybe the minisd version expects something else? The card used was a 2GB minisd so it should have plenty of room for the rom.
Anyone familiar with grab_it know what is different about the minisd version? I read through the thread but it wasn't clear to me what the difference is.
Ok, I'm the one who's run the grabit tool on a 750v
It runs Ok and creates a 128Mb dump.bin file but the file appears to be mostly empty. If I zip the file up it only takes 147Kb which seems to confirm this. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in the tool
i have hope 750v user and appreciate your efforts

Can you upload the bin file please. I think someone here may be able to figure this out by looking at the contents of it.
If anyone has a source for a unlocked 750v let me know i really need one.
File and registry dump.

Hi, please can you do me favor? I have idea which can help us get SMS threading application and other palm features as well. If isn't possible dump ROM in this moment can you download Total Commander (freeware) http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm and do following.
1, Create foder on memory card and go to the Total commander.
2, go to the root of your device and copy to SD everything what is possible specially from Windows folder and Program Files (rest will be fine as well)
- this will take some time and in case of problem with file just skip that file.
3, When this will be done please go into the "\\" in the root and then to "registry"
4, now select registry tree one by one and copy again to card.
This will give us most probably files which will be required for hack and registry keys which will be required as well i think.
Thank you very much for your help.
Here's a zipped up copy of the dump.bin file, hope it helps
I extracted that dump.bin and it looks like a 256 byte block of data that is repeated at each 16 meg boundary 8 times.
Does this ring any bells to the experts?
The only readable text is "CHEETAH IPL EVT".
wow! that's great!
I don't have a Cheetah, but there's some info on the hermes forum that might be of interest to you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019171&postcount=22
750v_User please try this program to extract the rom image.
unzip and copy TestDump.exe to your device and run it. In the "Path to file" enter the path for the dump file (i.e. \Storage Card\dump.bin). In the "Mbytes to dump" enter 128. Then press the "Dump" button. It should make a dump of the ROM file.
Zip it up and upload here. Thanks!

Thanks. That post appears to be for updating the rom. I wonder if there is some key combo like this to extract the rom.

Based on the Hermes experience, there's no knonw way yet to extract it in a form that after is flashable on another device, but you can follow these instructions to dump some parts:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
You can also use pmemdump to copy some of the ROM contents to a file. Once you've dumped SPL you can search for strings on it and you'll see the bootloader commands.
HTC has removed all the "d2s, s2d, r2sd..." and like commands in the hermes bootloader, probably you are lucky and you have some command to dump the rom to sd in your bootloader.
Hope that helps
The ROM dump // extract discussion is over my head...one question though has anyone sorted out how to unlock this device?

im just a noob but cant we use the combination of StyleTap and AdvBackup to create a complete rom backup of the treo 750v and then grab what we want from that?
will that work????
just tryin to help........
what if someone get the .nbh file..can that be extracted??
750v ROM dump uploaded
I put a rom dump from the TestDump.exe tool on ftp.xda-developers.com. userid: xdaupload pw: xda
file: treo750v_dump_rom.zip
I used the dumprom tool to extract files, but it looks like it's only extracting the first rom section it finds and stops. Can one of the experts take a look at the dump and see if you can extract the other sections please.
Thanks.
What are you getting from the first rom section?
Sounds weird... was the dump complete?
It looked like a bunch of system files. The kernel, img.dll, filesystem drivers and the like.
There is 59MB of data in the dump so there has to be more stuff in there.
hello, iv just recieved my exec and i am dying to upgrade it to jwrights rom, could someone please point me in the direction of a guide on how to do it? iv had an xda11i b4 but i cant remember how i upgraded that rom, and really dont wanna mess up my new phone!!
also if anyone can give me any tips for various other programs/upgrades that i might want/need please let me know
thankyou
and yes i have been reading the wiki, but it doesnt seem to mention jwrights rom anywhere, and im getting really confused cos in the file i downloaded there isnt any .nbf files??
Well done for reading the wiki. Nobody is likely to give you an upgrade guide because there is too much to know. I'm afraid you are just going to have to read the various threads on Universal Upgrading etc and WM6. In doing so, you will learn how to upgrade and also learn what do avoid and what to do if it all goes wrong.
The wiki isn't specific to a particular ROM - there are threads on his ROMs on Universal Mobile 6.
As for the nbf files, they are there but you're looking in the wrong place. Jwright kindly provided an installer for his ROMs. You have downloaded an exectuable. When you run that it will unpack to provide a large file in a subdirectory of whichever directory is set to be your Temp directory. Whilst the installer is running it tells you that it is unpacking - what it is doing is unpacking the installation files (including the nbf files) to another directory of your Temp directory.
Couldn't have put id better myself )

I have written this upgrade instructions the first month I joined. I made it so that computer and PDA newbies like myself would understand and follow it easily. Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
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
Hello,

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

Actually, I have some files about how to cook a rom, but they all Chinese, and may be useless for you.

Does anyone know what type of a file a .nbh is and how to make it veiwable/modifiable. If there was a way that we can mod the NBH file that I believe would be the successful way of rooting the MyTouch 3G. I will be getting one of the production devices in a week or so anyone want to have anything dumped let me know.
the nbh is a ROM and you can't flash it without a modified SPL. i'm not even sure the SPL used for android even supports the file type but any kitchen from winmo can decompile it
Not really so much an android thing but is a hardware thing of HTC. The Dream and Sappihre support these files. There is a NBH file which will take you all the way back to RC29 and also flashes back the original SPL as well. So it is my belief that if we can make a compatible NBH for the sapphire it will accomplish the end result.
Of course it will... That's what NBH files are made for. I don't think you can make one since it's signed (or something) with a key we don't have.
Ehh, i have an idea:
Some has to decompile .nbh and modify it to work on mytouch 3g.
Than you have to create a goldcard.. not sure about if viperbjk is putting sapphire into qmat..
Yeh I have tried to decode with hex editor and have not had any real luck with it at all. Looks coded. Just wondering if anyone knows how to decode would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to use some of the old Windows mobile kitchen tools.
There are lots of tools to extract NBH files, they should work if HTC hasn't changed anything...look for other devices kitchens and you'll find the tools.
Also there's a project which tries to achieve the same result under linux http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/.
where did you guys get an android nbh? this is odd because android is updated by placing and update.zip on the root of the sd card (among other ways) which is handled by the SPL. why wouldn't HTC just stick with nbh then?

android is updated by .zip but NBH is an all in one image type file that flashes htc phones to factory defaults. its usually used by the support techs to restore phones.
android/google=zip
htc =nbh
