Is there a newer version of DumpROM exist to unpack ROMs for Magneto devices?
The original dumprom hangs on the .nbf files extracted from ROM upgrade utility.
I'm bumping this thread, even thought there's not much to bump up to... this forum is quiet.
I want to dump the ROM, but mamaich gave me a link to source code that I can't compile. He says the HTC Typhoon dumper should work.
Can anyone extract and decode (if necessary) the ROM files from the K-JAM firmware upgrade utility?
I want to see if it could possibly be looking for a file to replace the splash screens, much like we found out that splashX.nb did wonders for JAM, PDA2k, and so forth.
I'm sure there's a way to customize the splash screens.

Greetings,
How could i extract nk.nbf from the underground WM6 rom.
Because it is needed for all Cid locked G4 and it will be helpful to everybody.
Can anybody tell me how to? I tried searching it but i didnt find any good answer.
Thanks
I think you can just right click and extract it.
You wont see it unless you are able to view hidden files.
You may have to change it from hidden to read only in order to use the file.
Hope im not spoiling anybody's secret.
Hope this helps you.
if you've downloaded a self-extracting exe you can in most cases just rename it to rar and then open the file. Otherwise just get the nk.nbf from the temp directory that the exe is extracted to...
208 error
do i need a seperate application to get NBD 8.3 to extract to phone keep getting 208 file in use error I am noob but succsefully sim and cid unlocked 8125 and have had severall different ROMs on phone. Flashed back to button love ipl/spl and then flashed TMO 2.26 rom and really want to try NBD's latest and hot new ROM any help greatly appreciated. the info on here made me think I had a grip on flashing until I hit this hurdle
This site and the chef's awsome
If you have been successfully uploading several ROMs before the NBD8.3 with the RUU works in the same way.
Included in the rar file there is also a readme explaining pretty much in detail how to run the RUU to install. Moreover you will also find some explaination on the different error codes.
You may want to download the rar file again and have a second try.
File error
Sorry bout that I was not extracting to a folder and then running the RUU that's how I kept getting the error Thanks for your help
it´s simple download the magic program called wizard service tool (WST) by mestrini, you have a icon named nbf actions, press extract nbf open the rom you want, choose the destiny folder and voilá, you have the nbf file extracted, after you haved to cook then! with all you want S.O. radio ipl or spl..
Let's say I have a NBF file.
I want to pull it apart.
What tool(s) are used to do this? I've looked around with Search and haven't found the answer..... (the source for the tool(s) required would help too!)
I'm running into nasty problems with the Arcsoft MMS (and some of the camera apps) and would like to pull them out of the WM5 build (original T-Mobile) and try those to see if they work properly....
Hints and pointers appreciated!
super easy.

Did - didn't realize it was in the hypercore one.....
I've tried to avoid using that as it gets flagged as having a nasty trojan in it.
Let's hope its wrong!
OK, silly further problem - the RUU executable I have with the base T-Mobile ROM is an executable - and while it claims to be "extracting" the NBF file, I can't find it.
How do you strip out he NBF so it can be broken down? Or is the NBF somewhere around here? I've looked in the archives and haven't found it - just the EXE, which, when I try to search the system for the NBF while its sitting on the "startup" screen (which should allow me to find it, yes?) it fails.
I don't have an XP machine handy right now, but as I recall, when you run the executable it should put all the extracted files in:
c:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings\Temp
And it will be inside the most recent .tmp folder.
Same thing for Vista, but the .tmp folder is in here:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp

if you have winrar, right click and extract the exe... it will give you the nbf and the flash util.
i use core pro kitchen instead of hypercore to work with roms and break them down. alternatively, you can use the wizard service tool to extract all of the *.nb files from the nbf. if you're not cooking, at least you can pull just the os.nb and flash that.
I have a question when it comes to using the "htc rom tool" to put together the .nb files into the .nbh file for flashing.
When I extract the official WM6 ATT ROM it get more .nb files than the tool asks for when you select the Treo 750 to build a ROM for. Files such as Ext_ROM.nb, etc. How do I add thoes files in as well?
Also am I correct that the GSM.nb file is the "Radio" ROM? If so, then I should be able to select the updated Radio ROM I got from these forums and have it add that one in as well?
If there are any good guides anyone knows of thoes would be helpful as well.
Thanks.
Hi all!
I've done a lot of searching on this topic between here, PPC, Google, and haven't found any definitive answers, so I'm going this route and asking.
I have a CDMA Touch Diamond (DIAM500) on a small regional carrier (Nex-tech Wireless - Google it as I can't post links), that also roams on the Sprint network. I'm wanting to backup the ROM before I flash to something else. With using a small carrier, I'm not confident that a Sprint rom would work, thus wanting to extract what my phone currently uses.
My goal is to end up with a file that I can flash back to. I've already flashed to the HSPL .57 with no problems. I've found a set for the Nex-tech Touch Pro, but I doubt it's fully compatible.
I've also seen the directions here (thread 334680 on these forums) and have extracted the files, but I'm not too sure what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm on the same carrier as kazoni and would also be interested in an answer to this...
you can use the itsme tools to extract the rom bin files.
than U will need a similar base rom to build it back.
extract your base rom.
U will not need a full kitchen as some have sugested.
U will need to identify the xip.bin and imgfs.bin from the device.
use xipport to implant your xip into os.nb.payload
use imgfstonb to implant your imgfs to os.nb.payload.
nbmerge os.nb.payload with os.nb.extra to make os.nb
use an nbh tool to create RUU_signed.nbh from your os.nb and your set.

Ok, I think i'm on the right track...
For everyone who has an LG Quantum, I was finally able to extract the xip and imgfs from the stock rom and see what the insides look like. To do it, I modified the lgextract program, which was written for the LG KS20, whose rom image is similar in format to the quantum's. I will post my version of lgextract either later today or tomorrow for your amusement. From there, you can use the latest version of the htc rom editor to get the imgfs.bin and xip.bin. As of now, there is no way to piece it all back together for flashing, so custom roms are, unfortunately, not possible yet. The only annoyance (you could also call it a bug if you wanted to), is that you have to remove the rom header manually with a hex editor to make it work with the htc rom editor (but I am currently working on a version to do it automatically).
On another note, I did find out that the manufacturer program can read and write to the registry, so I could also write a program to view and edit the registry if there is enough need as to do registry editing on the quantum.
Update: I have fixed the program to do all the extraction automatically so you can automatically just open up the nb file in the HTC Rom Image Editor and see what goods are inside. However, there's still no way to create custom roms yet. As for the registry editor, I can't do anything until I get back in school and I have a chance to talk to the CS department at school about getting my quantum developer unlocked via Microsoft Dreamspark.

You can use the dz file found in one of the other LG Quantum threads here with the program. If you have any questions, feel free to post or pm me.

Very nice! Just a question, is this similar to using a hex editor to edit the seed files from the old razr phones? Or a registry editer like wm6.5? Just wondering.
can you update system files in anyway or read and wright or deleat registry edits?
I have a custom rom but I don't see what good it will do. if the bootloader is not unlocked.
might be able to copy parts of it over to the device but am unsure. can you sideload anything?:cyclops:
