I have ROM files in NBF format. I want to convert it to BIN format in order to edit it. I tried using some tools (prepare_imgfs.bat and NBFtools) method with no success. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
However I'm using Vista. Maybe Vista won't allow to convert it?
i have the same problem, but not with vista, with xp. :-(
helppppppppppppppp
Here, extract nbf with typhoonnbftools.exe (dump as decrypted)
and pack with nb2nbf - read wiki for htc wizard
I've been able to convert the NBF to BIN using prepare_imgfs command after reinstalling Vista. Now no matter how hard I try the viewimgfs command can't dump the BIN file. Maybe the possibility of cooking a ROM in Vista is minimum.
how can i edit BIN files?any softwares?
editing .nbf can be done(contact chinese, they made iphone and vista rom), ive tried the metods mentioned before,but did not work for me. the problem is if u make an unstable rom who can stop in upgrading utility you can get not a custom mobile rom, but a custom brick.
WOW, I thought we've got all those cool tools from you guys.
It's simple, just with a bunch of tools you can do a lot with your nbf. The pack is too big I don't think I can have it upload, but I have file names you can google.
rem If your nbf is only an OS rom, just rename it to have your nbf converted to nb Because nbf is made up of bin(sometimes known as .nb), and a OS only nbf is simply a bin file.
rem to have your os.nb splitted.
tttt\prepare_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
rem extract files to dump\
tttt\viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
rem extract regisrty to edible rgu files
set _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
tttt\rgucomp.exe -o dump\default.hv -nologo > default.rgu
tttt\rgucomp.exe -o dump\user.hv -nologo > user.rgu
pause
rem below is a batch file I've to have my registy packed to hv files.
rem rgucomp.exe only convert a boot.rgu to default.hv, so you have to rename your rgu first. don't forget -b parameters
set _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
del boot.hv
ren .\default.rgu boot.rgu
tools\rgucomp.exe -b
copy boot.hv default.hv /y
ren .\boot.rgu default.rgu
ren .\user.rgu boot.rgu
tools\rgucomp.exe -b
copy boot.hv user.hv /y
ren .\boot.rgu user.rgu
del boot.hv
Pause
rem pack your dump\ to nb. If your ROM over sized the program buildimgfs.exe will crash.
tttt\buildimgfs.exe
tttt\make_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
OK that's it. I only do these with my Typhoon so I don't have to convert my os.nb to nbf for RUU. But i guess you can get enough help with google. All those .exe tools mentioned above can be found through google, too. I've tried. Just search and download.
My English is not so good, please read with imagination, sorry for any inconvenience.
Ok heres the simple way.
nk.nbf -> OS.nb using typhoonnbftool (right click the OS section and dump decrypted, however under the file type, you must select 'All files' and call the file your about to dump OS.nb)
imgfsfromnb OS.nb imgfs.bin
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
Your OS has now been dumped to the 'dump floder'. Edit as you like, then recontruct using the following:
imgfsfromdump imgfs.bin imgfs.new.bin
imgfstonb imgfs.new.bin OS.nb OS.new.nb
then use nb2nbf to compile OS.new.nb back into an nbf
Easy enough

Thanks Phil ! I was pulling my hair all weekend trying to figure out how to convert nbf->nb and come monday, you answer the question. Great ! Thanks much !
PS: How much more do we have to wait for Crossbow alpha ?
It's all uploaded and ready to go on my private FTP (no waiting times or download limits ) so as soon as vlodeck unlocks the thread, i'll be posting it

Ohh, I see. The forum must've changed something
Ok, today is my official "I am dumb" day. I just got home and tried to load up the Imate SP5m AKU2 ROM nbf in typhoonnbftool and tried to decode it to a nb file. I do not see any area where I can 'right click on the OS and select dump selected'. I do recall that I saw it sometime on saturday night....just that I dont remember now. Can you please guide me a bit with this ? Thanks much !
Use typhoonnbftool 0.41 (attached), looks like the version you are using is 0.3, which can't read tornado nbf's properly
Phil
Is it possible to convert .nbh to nk.nbf to be able to flash this rom on a prophet?
It depends on where the nbh is from. To do it, you'll have to dump it into SYS/OEM (I'd use a hypercore related tool for this) and then rebuild it into an OS.nb before converting it to nk.nbf for flashing.
Its HTC ELF original Rom...where can i find all tools?
thanks dude
In the prophet WM6 forum, there is a link to HyperCore kitchen.
I'm not sure if the ROM will work straight away on a Prophet, as they have different hardware...
edit: to dump the ROM you will need to use the attached files. Put the *.nbh in the same directory as the two files and then run the batch file.
thanks man,am gonna work on it right now
hey guy .. when i use the nbh extract .. there write could not open the nbh file ..
how ?? can you all please help me ??
Sorry for my English ...
I'm trying to learn how to build a kitchen and I followed the BEPE's guides perfectly but I have a problem:
When I use "NBHextract.exe" on "RUU_signed.nbh" the file that I get is "00_OS.nb" and not "OS.nb" as in BEPE's guide, same for the file "00_OS.nb.playload" has the same characteristics, and I know not explain why.
Also, I can not use in any way the "packagebuilder" tool to rebuild the "xip" folder because after having dumped "00_OS.nb.playload" the xip folder that I know, does not contain within it the file "*. dsm " essential to the operation of the tool.
can someone help me? (sorry but I translate before answering for now)
Thank you!
PS: other problem..
When I use "Dump_800" on "00_OS.nb" the files that I get are "00_OS.nb.playload", the IMGFS folder and the IMGFS.BIN.
This IMGFS.BIN was to be automatically erased at the end of the process of dumping, but strangely still active and has a size of about 63 MB, and in the prompt window, at the end of the process of dumping, i read this:
C:\xxxxxxxxxx\IMGFS.BIN
Access denied.
Where I wrong?
Thanx 4 all..
Any idea?...
Anything?...
That relief, then I am not the only one who does not understand anything!

What rom are you trying to dump? if it is a custom rom....built by the new kitchen, it won't be dumpable. You will have to get a base from a chef or dump a factory rom.

I downloaded this "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship", which should be the Official HTC ROM for TYTN II (my device), but I have the same errors described in the first post using the BEPE's kitchen!
What do you mean by "You will have to get a base from a chef?
I do not believe that any chef would give me his base, should give me the entire folder containing the kitchen built! Or not?
sorry for my english...
I try to dump the various types of ROM, but I always make the same mistakes! I do not know how ... believe me I tried all possible solutions!
But I do not surrender ... sooner or later arrive at a solution! Even at the cost of start over with another kitchen!
How many kitchens are there? tell me if you know there are others beyond that of bepe?
I am having the same issue with Bepes kitchen - I have the official signed rom from Sprint for the Mogul and every time I try to use dump_800.bat on the OS.nb file, it fails and says access is denied...

There is KaiserKitchen by _Alex_ or KaiserChef by mbarvian and a few others - They both exist on the Wiki.
If the IMGFS.bin won't delete it's not that bad, just try and delete it afterwards.
If you are getting 00_OS.nb it might not be the orginal nbh you are dumping. I get 03_OS.nb when I dump the 3.34 HTC Kaiser ROM (which I rename to OS.nb before dumping). I also get 00_Unknown.nb, 01_SPL.nb 02_MainSplash.bmp (and .nb). Do you get any other nb files?
What the link for the ROM, and why are you using that one for the base? There are newer builds (like the 3.34).

There are a few tutorials on porting the SYS and XIP. The concept in bepe's kitchen videos is the same for the SYS in most kitchens (be aware of resolution and language specific files).
For the XIP, have a read around, there are many threads and tutorials on how to do it. But normally the XIP and SYS versions should match (or be very close).

ok Dave.. I follow your advice! then you story if I have made progress ...! thanks!
I would like to get SYS, XIP and OEM fram an original Wizard WM5 ROM. Can anyone help?
I tried HyperCore Kitchen but that didn't work.
What I have done so far:
- unzipped nk.nbf file from original installer
- used typho5.exe to extract nb files from nk.nbf (typho5.exe nk.nbf -x)
Now I ave the os.nb file and don't know what to do.
For ImgfsFromNb.exe I need an os.nb.payload file.
May I use NBSplit.exe with a Wizard ROM? Which parameter do I have to use?
What else do I have to do?
Thank you for your help!
mate.. use this:
typho5 -x nk.nbf
ren *OS.nb OS.nb
imgfsfromnb OS.nb imgfs.bin
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
pkgtool

Thank you very much!
I got the OEM and SYS folders but there is still one last problem: The names of the subfolders are strange. Seems to be the GUID. Is there a way to get the original names?
I ripped the official german Vodafone WM5 AKKU2 ROM.

No, it's bug in T-Mobile releases.
A bug in T-Mobile releases make my Vodafone realease look strange?
Here they are from the
Code:
RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe
Some packages also have GUID instead of a name, but I do not think that should affect the cooking. You could rename the folder based on what is inside it.

Ok since much time has past and our fellow Russians have developed win6.5 ROM but the only problem is that its in Russian! its for free but only in russian language. so i contacted a guy who did ROM and he told me that he doesnt do cooking anymore and he gave me links to kitchens and tools but he didnt gave me any manual or tutorial. I will put these links here so that people more experianced in ROM cooking could provide us with English or other language ROM. Oh and a guy named Veisen did an auto kitchen but it has problems with SMS and Wifi network as well as with some other functions.

Sorry my bad english.
For build new ROM for hp ipaq 514 need:
1)Make dump from worked smartphone.
Use pdocread tools from collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=XdaUtils
Need dump two partition IMGFS and XIP
2)Decompile dump, use tools from kitchen
3)Add OEM file from original ROM to ROM-donor
Or use BuildOS tools for make package list.
I'll used rom Ginza MS100 from
http://forum.wce.by/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14372
4)Build imgfs and xip
5)Convert imgfs image to *.OSx files and build .nbf file
5)Write .nbf to smartphone
Exclude .bl, .xl, .yl (bootloader's) file from you ROM for safe smartpone.
If new firmware bad - you look bootscreen, splash-screen and stop.
My tools from kitchen not worked for official ROM.
Thanks Veliant,
And since i'm total dumbass with this and faild to build it, someone post here if you have any success whit building the ROM.
