How to extract files from ROM

OK so that's the question...
I have an Omnia and it's branded by operator... I was told by a portuguese user (like me) that flashed his device and said that the XCHG5 is unbranded
The ROM is linked is in .nbo and .img format and is linked at Modaco.
All I really want to do is extract the launcher.exe, launcher.exe.0816.mui, launcher.exe.t1.skin (which my network provider so generouly altered and crippled) and the poweron/poweroff images and sounds... Though I'm not sure if some changes were made at registry (I have this one icon in the Launcher user defined shortcuts for MeoMobile that I realy want to remove but can't the way I add/remove other apps to it...)
Can anyone tell me which tool to use and how to use it?
And before anyone suggests it I do not want to flash my device.
Feedback appreciated

Bump...
It's been a week... Doesn't anyone know of an answer to this?
Sorry if this seems shameless but if I get it right my thread has only one week left and then will be deleted... And this thread was burryed under more recent ones.

I need to extract some files from different ROMs too, please help

[Q] mms settings, custom xml file

I've been struggling to get my mms setting configured for a year now with no luck. I have a LG Optimus 7 from 2010 pdc conference.
I'm trying to configure mms settings for the carrier Viaero (small nebraska/colorado carrier). The settings i need are defined at http://viaeronetops.blogspot.com/
The device is ChevronWP7 unlocked. and Interop Unlocked.
I've tried all the suggestions out there, set ADC (no luck), select the provider xml in mfg - Set network profiles (no luck, need different settings). Lg Network Setup app (doesn't list the carrier settings i need)
I've come to the conclusion i need to copy a custom xml config file to the phone then select the xml file in mfg - Set network profiles. I believe i have created the xml config file i need (see attached file) based off of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022833&highlight=mms+settings&page=3
Now how to get the file to the phone. I have windows phone device manager 1.8 from TouchExperience installed. I can copy the file to \My Documents but not to \Windows. The file never shows up in the mfg - Set network profiles. Do i need to copy the file to \Windows (How do i do this) or can i select the file that i copied to \My Documents a different way.
I've seen other paces that say to use Wp7UsbStorageEnabler.exe to show you phone in explorer, tried this but i only see a single directory, tried copying the file into the directory, no luck.
Please help this is really my only complaint about wp7 and would really like to get this solved.
To sum it up, how do i copy a custom carrier xml confg file to the phone and select it.
thanks

I've been trying to get copy files to work using DiagProvXML (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519&highlight=provxml) but i can't get any file copies to work.
Is this because of the LG phone?
Are there special steps i need to use. Currently i'm using
-File Operations
-Click the + symbol
-Click save provxml
-Go back to the main screen provxml
-Click the save icon at the bottom of the screen
I get no errors but the file operation never works.

[Q] local htm files

hello guys
if any one can tell me how to open local html files with internet explorer or opera mini in offline mode.

IE doesnt' seem to allow the file:// URI scheme, and (at least on stock ROMs) runs with so little permissions it's unable to see almost any files anyhow. Since you have Opera, you're presumably on a full-unlock custom ROM. You could try specifying the apth the file for Opera (or IE; I've never tried on a custom ROM). Either use file:///path/to/the/file.htm or \path\to\the\file.htm.

thank for the reply.but i tried to make that address i.e.169.132......to open an index html file located at root directory but nothing happen.if u give me some detail on this method it would be great.i read some questions at microsoft support but some code written in ms.studio and subsequent compilation could help.my rom is deepshining 7.3 and my phone is hd7
thanks in advance.

Waaaaait, you did what? Nothing in what you wrote looks like what I said you should try. You don't need to run any code, for example. You also shouldn't be entering an IP address, unless you're actually running a webserver on your phone.
If the file is called "index.htm" and is located in the phone's root directory ("\"), then you should have tried either "\index.htm" or "file://index.htm" or "file:///index.htm". These are standard ways to create a local-path URI
You could also try running a webserver, of course. The "Root Webserver" app linked in my signature will run just fine on your ROM. You'll need to make sure that it keeps running in the background (the "NoDehydrate" hack can help here, see my MultiTaskToggle app for an easy way to enable it), then run it, hit the Start button (not Back, as that would exit the webserver), load IE, and then go to 127.0.0.1. You'll need to move or copy the file to the webserver's "Content" folder, then go to 127.0.0.1/Content/index.htm.

thanks for the quick reply .i did not make any code but the question at ms.was about ability of applications to open local help files.
i will try the method u mentioned and reply asap.

i tried all posible paths but always "internal comun.error" in opera .i should give it a try using web server and tell u the result.thanks

[Q] How to edit/modify feature.xml in a flashable zip?

I've created a MOD and a flashable zip file to install it.
The issue, for which I cant seem to find any help on is:
On certain devices it is required to edit the /system/csc/feature.xml file.
I dont want to replace the file all together, but just add some lines (if the set isnt there) or edit the lines (if it already is there).
I figure its just some code i need to add into the updater-script, but dont know where to start?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

LOS carrier / modem configuration: How does it work?

Hi all,
I would like to gain a bit deeper understanding of how LOS is working in terms of actual phone function. I'm pretty sure that the following is only the tip of the iceberg, but with the stock ROM, for example on a Sony Z5C, there is a folder
/system/etc/customization/modem
that contains .mbn files for various providers and a folder
/system/priv-app/CarrierConfig
that contains a corresponding .apk file.
Now for example in LOS17.1, the first folder (or similar files) do not exist and the second one is called CarrierSetup with a corresponding .apk file. I assume the latter .apk is responsible for some sort of generic carrier configuration, but how does that work? Is it hard coded in the .apk, or is there some generic configuration file somewhere? And: How can I find out, what configuration is currently used and what bands are available?
Any helpful answers or references to further info are welcome!
Cheers,
r.
