Sorry to come up with such a post, but after reading all the how-to's and tons of posts I'm still missing something about the ERK's.
1) For example, in order to install ERK_1.3X_004, do I have to install the ship (Xda_IIs_v131139_upgrade.exe) and then go on manually copying the Extended Rom (O2_UK_XDAIIS_Ext_ROM_131139_WWE )? Would this come out to be a full ERK_1.3X_004? From my tests it doesn't seem...
2) I downloaded the content of the Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_3X from the ftp. Should I add those files to the Extended ROM? If yes, is there a config.txt availabe somewhere or do I have to write it myself?
3) Or put more simply, can someone explain in few steps (and very few words) the process for upgrading my QTEK9090 to ERK_1.3X_004? I'm a newbie, but I know how to unlock the Extended_ROM and how to use xda3nbftool.
I know it's boring to answer such questions, but I don't find the procedure anywhere (also in Wiki). Thanks a lot

In as few words as possible
1) In order to install ANY extneded roms
- Download the rar
- Extract the files (onto your devce)
- Run the ones you want to (with tap on cab file out of file manger)
2) In order to make any extrom changed permant
- place the files in the ext rom folder
- edit the config.txt with that name

Hi, I have two problem with upgrade. I try to change rom to qtek 9100 1.6.7. Firstly, when I launch aWizard, use command "e", next "u" and then "w" and there are no available roms, despite I moved the rom into ROM folder:
Next problem I got with External ROM. When I try copy unziped files to /External_ROM/ there is a pop up that they can not be overwritten. I removed all previous files from that folder. Please help me how to upgrade....
I think I remember from other threads that awizard doesn't like spaces in directory names. (Use the search function in the forum to find out or) try putting it in c:\awizard or something.
In some roms (i think 1.6.x and up) the extended rom is protected. This has also been discussed a lot in the forums.
Thank You bredita! It works when I moved it to C:\ I'm trying to find how to unlock extended_rom but I can't. I would apreciate if sb helped me...
I am trying to unzip files from Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2.zip to /Extended_ROM/ or /Extended_ROM/ and I can not. Before that I had deleted all files from those folders (I hope) but I can not overwrite new files. When I install extended ROM unlocker, then some strange files are copying to /Extended_ROM2/ and I still can not copy new ROM there. Now I got empty both Extended_ROM folders and I do not know what to do....
Can someone point me to a link of the TMO extended rom cab file list with descriptions for each. i searched i swear
Also, If I updated my rom and wanted to load all these cabs back on to the device can i just copy the whole backup folder to /windows/ and then the autorun will run it on reset?
thanks
search better . . .its on the wiki
the one in the wiki is dutch, is there a USA one?
what about the second part?
1. I know its based on dutch tmo rom, but most of the US cabs are much alike (based on their name)
2. autorun makes use of a registry setting (dont know out of my head, but plz do another search on config.txt and autorun) to load the correct config.txt file.
If you change that you canb use your backup and install from there.
I'm neebie so i have more questions to solve...
my scope is to extract the content of nb files previously extracted on nbh file!!!
Someone can explain me (not only post links!) the way(s)?
Sorry for my poor english.!
P.s: My phone is HTC p3600.
Thanx!

Whats wrong with links if they explain what you want to know?
Do you want to
1) extract an NBH (to NB files)
or
2) extract an NB (to edit its content)
If 2), what kind of NB (OS, SPL, Extrom...)
I suggest you do some wiki reading and searching before asking questions like that.
Yes i want to
2) extract an NB (to edit its content)
If 2), what kind of NB (OS, SPL, Extrom...)
ExtROm & OS
But what are other?
You can't extract extrom.
For OS extraction open this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
Download both files, extract them to a directory with os.nb and run
nbdump os.nb (or whatever your file is called).
If you want you can write a full tutorial in the wiki after you have done it.
Good luck, I have a feeling you need it.
PS: your thread title is very bad. please correct (maybe "How can I extract an NB file?")

Hi
1. Download KaiserKitchen and extract it to your harddisk.
2. Download Thaihugo uploaded WWE 1.22x as your base ROM and put the RUU_Signed.nbh (WWE 1.22x archive has it) in the BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. Copy the Part files in the same BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. There will be a batch file (I forgot its name, I am sorry) in the root folder of KaiserKitchen. Just Run that.
3a. Press e (extract)
3b. Press b (using base rom and part files)
4. follow the steps that it asks
5. press option for cooking (i think c or something) I forgot.
6. It opens the HTCRT. Select Kaiser in the options and select the NB file that it created from the base rom and your part files (basically it is Part 2 that is the language part).
7. Once it is done, it will create a RUU_Signed.nbh in the base ROM file (it lets you to chose name and folder).
I am sorry, I could not remember the exact option names. I am currently travelling. The instructions are on my home computer. The other day cmonex helped in extracting from Chinese for me. I tried to recollect our chat and presented it here. let me know how did it go. Otherwise, if you could wait till tomorrow evening (I live in CST), I could provide you correct name of batch file and options.
You can download KaiserKitchen from Kaiser sub forum here. Search for KaiserKitchen and you could get the link for it to download.
Thanks and HTH
Ram
Thanks for the help... but, I've problems with the process, please take a look at the S.S. uploaded in this thread...
Here's another SS, the updater stop working at 0% saying device not recognized in the taskbar...
I also tried using thaihugo updater with my new RUU_signed.nbh...
no result... it stop working at 2%
what's the problem?
don't use this kitchen. Use kaiserkitchen 0.3. also, the nbhutils must be olipro version, not htccrt.
here is the proper nbhutils
Please rate this thread if it was useful...
I know that stuff like this has been posted before but I have never seen a full guide begining to end on how to backup your rom so here is the complete guide (with links) beginning to end of how to backup your WM6X ROM on HTC's Shift to an NBH
To do this you will need a HTC Shift (dir), and basic knowledge of Windows Mobile, Vista, the command prompt and Syncing a WM device with a computer.
NOTE: I am NOT sure if you need HardSPL on the device to flash the ROM back onto your Shift (if someone could let me know that would be great), my guess is that you do as the created nbh will not be signed with HTC's Cert - HardSPL can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406606 and is compatible with GSM Shifts only (x9500)
If anyone has any suggestions as to how this post could be improved or tell me if something needs a more in-depth explanation, let me know - Thanks.
First you will need to Liberate your shift; instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://www.modaco.com/content/windows-mobile-news/266537/liberate-your-htc-shift/ (this step will "unlock" the restrictions on windows mobile - this is not necessary but makes installing RAPI tools and other files easier later.
Download HardSPL (we are not going to install HardSPL in this post, but the download includes RAPI that is needed prior to the next step) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406606
When the download has finished extract the contents and copy EnableRapi.cab to your device (To do this select Settings from the today screen > USB Tool > Options > Detach from Vista > Options Attach to Vista - yes detach is not always required but seems to solve some issues with syncing).
Your device will now appear in "My Computer"; copy the file somewhere to your device then switch to Windows mobile and run the file.
Download the latest version of itsutils from: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html (Look under download section) then follow the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382609
After you have followed the instructions there you will have created RAW files of your Windows Mobile ROM (on the post you will notice the the code window in color - these may be different depending on your device and may need to be changed)
Now we need to convert the raw file to an nbh to do this you will need to download the shift kitchen from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422914 then extract the files from the rar archive (using winrar, winace etc)
On some computers the below operation may fail saying "Error loading dll msvcr71.dll" so you should download and extract the attached zip file (msvcr71.zip) to the Tools directory
When you have done that put the *.raw files created by itsutils into the BaseROM directory and run the !BEGIN.cmd file
Select option 2 when asked to rebuild a ROM and follow instructions.
When the command has completed run the !COOK.cmd file; When a window appears titled BuildOS Click on the Play button and wait for the process to complete then close the BuildOS window
Follow further instructions; until another window appears, Select Shift as the "Target Device" and under "OS" select os-new.nb, then click "Build NBH!",
A window will appear asking you to save the NBH - DO NOT CHANGE THE PATH as it kept crashing when I tried to save elsewhere and call the file RUU_Signed.nbh
Copy the file RUU_Signed.nbh where you want and download and extract CustomRUU.zip (attached) to the same path
To restore the ROM all you need to do is Sync with Vista and run CustomRUU.exe
Feedback is always welcome,
Thanks,
Kris
*RESERVED*
All done! But when performing this process
BuildOS Click on the Play button and wait for the process to complete
I have Error window:
Error: File `ROM\XIP\boot.rgu` not found.
and when I click `OK` - process stops!?
What is wrong?
All done without errors!
Previous Error was under XP on D:\ with many subdirs to `shiftkitchen`.
Now all OK is under Vista with `shiftkitchen` in root of C:\
Thanks!
Little question. I am backuping original Russian ROM... an in the ending window (when I choose "Shift" and "os-new.nb") there is Language:WWE. Is there have to be something else?...

When you flash your ROM it will be the Russian ROM ... the WWE setting there and the version are just what is displayed in the ROM flashing tool (CustomRUU.exe)
I had the Spanish version and used this process beginning to end - and it says WWE in the flasher but still installs the Spanish version
Kris
Kris, thanks! Believe that I`ll not have reason to use it. But with this reserved ROM it is composed to make any ROM manipulatios.
Thanks once more!
can i request this to be a stickey?
thanks
Great work i00
I have added it to the WIKI and the FAQ thread.
I confirm that you DO need to install HardSPL on the device PRIOR to flashing the ROM back onto your SHIFT.
it's work

Sorry when I try following your tutorial,
I have not os-new.nb file what could I do wrong?
Back-up the rom and radio files
Hi i00, absolutely great guide, thank you for the hard and tidy work!
Since I'm a beginner in this area, before doing the dump job myself, kindly ask you to advise if the dump operation leaves the Shift unchanged on the winmo side and I can use it further, i.e. it is a read-only operation OR do I need to load back (flash back) the resulting back-up files (ROM and radio)?
Thank you!
rom
Hi all
i just bought a brand new shift and want to have a back up of the ROM
I've exacted 4 parts of the rom, but unable to convert it back into a NBH
i cant seem to figure out if i need the RUU_Signed.nbh , and where do i get it from, i thought i was making RUU_Signed.nbh from the 4 raw part files.
if anyone can re upload the complete UK ROM.NHB i would be grateful
i have uploaded the 4 part files and the boot loader
www(dot)filedropper(dot)com/rawfiles
part00.raw
part01.raw
part02.raw
part03.raw
SPL.nb
