We have lost the exteneded roms again.
This is the 2nd time that I know of.
I think this has to do with the fact that they were not linked to post thus unkonw files get killed. I read that some were when I first came here.
I have most of them and will start uploading them again, linking them to a post.
Anybody have a better idea or know why they have gone?
Not sure whether they've been deleted or not, unless you have been reposting. They are under BlueAngel_Roms instead of Extended_Roms. Things seem to keep getting moved.
And what are they doing there ?
Sure I have been uploading to ExtenedRoms for over an hour now.
I will move the buggers!
Rename The Folder Exteneded_Roms
Clean up the file names
Gee I love house work thought I was would be cooking in the Rom Kitchen, but no.
We are going to have to post the links as they got killed once before.
Thought you were out.
Can you belive this!
Got a folder name that says "Dont touch MDAIIIUser Uploading" and we have dowloades.
You around need so help.
ok done
cleaned up the Exteneded_Roms
Will post in the morning.
We need to take these apart and find what version they are then rename them.

Do you need some assistance with the Excel sheet for ROM Versions and contained cab files?
Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories? Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Do I need help in the Exteneded Rom Kitchen. Does the .... (ok no bad jokes)
Sure do BIG Time!!! Its not my kitchen, I just work there!
The Idea of the Kitchen is not realy to find out what version number Orange Rom A has for an application but to see if Orange's Rom A has application / Patches that are better than our base.
The Sheet just is a list of the files which go:
Base (I-mate) + Rom A + Rom B = Extended Rom Kitchen (ERK) Rom
My end goal is to generate a ERK Rom Version which is as upto date as possible.
And have this info on wiki so we dont need to hunt for it.
How far am I, Well The UK orange rom has been looked at but info not posted in the kitchen.
( I think RTP worked on that but I am not sure as I was haveing PMs with few people about that rom. )
We have the 3 roms above that need to be looked and info posted in the Kitchen and added to the Excel Sheet.
The Excel Sheet needs to be made to look nice so the rest of us can undersatand it.
We need to check against the "List of know Blue angels" to see what rom is missing and see if we can find it.
Oh yes and its friday, I get to pick my kids as its "The 3rd weekend of every month" and as my ex-wife has got a date, thus By 12:00.
Chances of me doing much till monday are ZERO.
So you want a job, pay is s**t, hours are bad, it can get hot in the kitchen when there is a fire and you lose all your stuff.
You need to understand Roms, read cab files, use your brain and most of all admit to the fact that you don't know everything and thus ask.
I am looking for Pastry Chef as well. One that can write applications.
Is there any way of setting folder permissions on the server for read/write only and not alter/delete?

Given that at the moment we are all the user XDA, I would say no.
What we need is a "BA_Admin" that revokes the rights of XDA to Read only, then we just get into the next problem, the person that posted (XDA) can't update it, so he needs to be BA_Admin...
The FTP site is a public place and like Toilets some people just can't pee in the Pot like the rest of us and sonebody has to clean up the mess.
Is there a neater way of structuring the ftp server directories?

Got some ideas, then share them with us.
Will have a look at dir structure but seems reasonable to me at the moment (Though Extended is the correct spelling ). Will use my WinCE CAB Manager to see what if anything is different on rom's you haven't had chance to view yet and generally assist where I can.
I will have a look at the orange rom as well, time permitting.
Would it be better to extract the .nbf files to sub dirs under the Extended_ROMS dir and have similar structure for radio and CE ROM?
ie ->
BlueAngel/Extended_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/ms_.nbf
(With cabs extracted as well under a cabs sub dir?)
BlueAngel/CE_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/nk.nbf
BlueAngel/Radio_Roms/Imate_PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP/radio_.nbf
Or leave as is and use the kitchen with a CAB's dir under it with all known versions of cab files so we can select the most appropriate ones?
I've posted the document on the Orange 1.12.139 ROM into the Kitchen. It's fairly large since there is so much in the Orange ROM.
Here's a link:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_22/Docs/Orange_WWE_1.12.139_ExtROM.doc
Unfortunately nothing really new though (Wish I had known you were doing this rom - just wasted 2 hours!).
I haven't looked at the WModem.exe update yet - any ideas what this is for?
Who keeps moving files in the BlueAngel section of the FTP server? Makes life difficult having to keep searching each time. Please let us all know what you are trying to achieve as it keeps breaking links on other web pages!
Running it comes up with this text:
The utility will simulate this device as a wireless modem, and let your PC/Notebook be connected to network wirelessly.
Before you press the 'Start' button, please make sure you have connected the device to your PC/Notebook by serial or IrDA connection and disabled the Activesync.

It then gives options for Serial, IrDA, USB and Bluetooth. Start, Stop and View Log buttons. Plus connection status LEDs - Connection, Send Data and Receive Data.
I've never tried it. I tend to use something more direct for dialup from my laptop.
OK guys!!!
I don't know what your naming system is but I've uploaded the O2 UK EXT ROM and I've called it "O2_UK_XDAIIs_Ext_ROM_112178_WWE.zip". This one is the original from my device.

They aren't .nbf files???????? They are zipped up (rar'd up) cab files extracted from the extended roms.
+*+*+*+ FOR INFO +*+*+*+
The xda3nbftool has an extra command line option of -t which attempts to discover the xor key used to encrypt the .nbf files. This seems to work well for all files except the radio_.nbf file which causes it problems. Try it on roms that you are having problems with to see if it is the correct key. You can check the resulting .nba file with a hex editor to ensure the PH20B and other data is shown at the beginning of the .nba file.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
I have pulled the above ext roms apart and the version numbers are as follows:
IIs Asia WWE Ext ROM.zip = Version "1.12.925 WWE"
Seimens_SX66_Ext_ROM_ENG.zip = Version "1.20.115 WWE"
T-Mobile_MDAIII_Extended_Rom_Inc_DeviceInfo.zip = Version "1.06.117 WWE"
Files renamed appropriately so any links will now be broken (plus the fact that some kindly person has renamed the Extended ROM directory to its correct spelling!)
I'm trying to add a file and modify the config.txt file in the extended_rom folder however it says that it is read only.
When I run the unlock tool, it is giving me the following error. How can I get around this?
debug
ERROR:
FL_OICTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Also the device is a TelecomNZ - Harrier, and I am using the Unlocker from this page.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_Zip
The tool does not seem to work on the harrier: I remember that there was another tool around alas I have no idea if that worked.
You need to look through the harrier threads about that, I dont rember which one.
Found this unlocker works.
http://www.myehud.com/xv6600/cabs/ExtTools.exe
Have posted it in the kitchen section of wiki.
Any instructions for this? (so that I can add them as well)
Yeah it was simple to use, copy the file to your Harrier and run it.
Also this is the post I got it from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17408
Some extra instructions if it doesn't work, but I didn't need to do this.
"If that doesn't unlock it, and gives a hardware io control
error, try using a binary editor on the file.
Look for ReIrRaH and replace it with eNiPlA
(Harrier and Alpine backward with alternating case). "
I have redone
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_Zip
Can you please check if it makes sense from a Harrier point of view, if you find anything then just use the edit at the bottom left of your screen.
Thanks
Done, I have changed the wording around for the install and excute a bit and removed the note about Harriers users not having an option to unlock.
Ta!
i need to change the operator in my ROM i guess... i am trying to flash a SX66 w/ WM5 (tuma 1.4) and i cant change the thing!! if someone could please help... i would be greatful. im new to this.. i havent flashed these kinda phones b4.. thanks in advance.
let me try... i assume you have already downloaded tuma 1.4, extracted it, saved the whole folder on your c:> directory (not desktop), and renamed the said folder into "ROM". also, you have executed the application GetDeviceData and you have identified your operator value. let's say that this operator value is ???
1. using your computer, go to START > Command Prompt. Type
CD\
then type
CD\ROM\
then type
SETOPERATOR ???
where ??? is the operator value you got from GetDeviceData.
2. you wait until it's completed. then that's it! you should be ready to take the next step. as i understand it, it is important that the nk.nbf file is in that ROM folder with the SetOperator application in order to make upgrading/downgrading work.
hope this helps.
by the way, have you been successful in repartitioning using the xda3nbftool/editfix.bat? i'm getting frustrated in not having a storage of 60MB (i only have 43MB) since i don't understand how to make it work. hope there's someone who could help me.
.... and read
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel and

also you should say what you have tried and give more specific error messages. How do you expect someone to be able to help you with

I had posted this to the mamaich's thread. posting here as well since it is wizard specific:
I've been trying to use the tools for building an HTC wizard ROM. Now, before starting out on any modifications, I simply tried to break apart and rebuild it. So, I extracted a ROM using typhoondecode_v5, then followed this:
1. prepare_imgfs.exe OS.nb -nosplit
2. viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
3. BuildImgfs.exe
But then my imgfs_raw_data.bin is not rebuilt and stays at its original self. The buildimgfs tool does not give me an error, however the last 3 lines of its output reas something like :
total sectors: 0000
used: <some number>
free: <some number>
I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer. Saw a couple of posts having the same prob but no answer. Since I havent done any modifications to the ROM and have tried with both AKU2.3 and AKU 3.3 (and custom ROMs as well as official Qtek ROMs), the ROM that i am using is also not an issue.
Now, since there are so many custom wizard ROMs out there and ppl swear by mamaich's tools so there must be a solution. Please help me out or let me know if there is no way out and I ve to use some other way to make ROMs, i also found bepe's kitchen post but couldn't find how to use it for wizard..
Thanks in advance.
for the wizard, this line:
1. prepare_imgfs.exe OS.nb -nosplit
should be:
prepare_imgfs.exe 80040000-OS.nb –nosplit
see if that helps...
prepare_imgfs.exe 80040000-OS.nb –nosplit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I used that one only, and I have no probs with the "prepare" and "view" commands. I correctly get the bin files as well the modules/files are correctly extracted. I have problem with the "build" and "make" commands.
side question. should have thought of this earlier. how do you know its not updating? its been stated that this file will for some reason not change date/time and size.
hopefully that helps.

oopsie I am sure I read that post some time ago when I was collecting all the info for ROM cooking, but somehow forgot abt it when I started. Thnx for reminding
But There's another problem after this. When I run make_imgfs command it gives me some weird characters, however, a couple of posts above the one that you pointed at, there is a comment that I've to give the name of the old file only instead of new one. Will try that tonight when I go home and report back.
Thnx for the help dude
Anyways, another question:
This one is about the "universal id" part (dont remember the name of the app correctly, smthing like genuuid), for which all packages do we have to use this app? I mean if I wanted to add an executable (say a.exe) to the ROM, is it enough to simply add it to the "dump" directory and follow the build/make path or do I have to use the genuuid app path, or is this app used for some special kinda apps?
Thnx in advance. I'm not a newbie by any means in programming, GSM, and programming for GSM etc (I work in a Nokia GSM BTS project ) but am cooking a ROM for the first time.
yupz, worked...I was able to rebuild the rom. (Though the size/date-time stamp of the final 80040000-OS.nb also remains the same as the older one. I take that to be OK like the same thing happening with img_raw_data.bin. Haven't flashed the ROM onto my phone to see...)
Moreover, about the uuidgen program, I found out that it is bepe's way of doing it. We can do it the mamaich way that is simply add the programs that we want to the /dump folder and rebuilding. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now that I've tested the waters, I'm on to making a custom ROM myself...
Thnx xda-dev...

Hi shantzg001
i too am doing similar steps and all gone well ( i.e breaking/rebuilding).
but im surprized why dump dir size is extremaly different in compare to
imgfs_raw_data.bin . I tried some OS.nb and got the size of dumb approx
456kb or 368 kb or some MBs. Also dump dir contains only some modules and
some files.
Am i doing some mistake or u too r getting similar result
reply ASAP
thanx
nandlal
That seems strange, because in my case the dump folder is even bigger than the bin file (more than double the size)..
Can you list out the exact steps that you are following, and which ROM were you breaking apart?
im trying to extract some cabs from a NHB file...can anyone guide me in the direction on how to do this
I'd say the best way to do that is to extract the ROM into regular files.
You need to download a bunch of EXE files: NBHextract.exe, NBSplit.exe, ImgfsToDump.exe, and ImgfsFromNB.exe
You need to extract the NBH with NBHextract.exe. This will yield a .nb file
You need to use NBSplit (use the "-kaiser" parameter) to split the .nb into a .nb.payload file and a .nb.extra file
You then need to use ImgfsFromNB on the .nb.payload file, which will create a file called imgfs.bin
Use ImgfsToDump on imgfs.bin, which will create a folder called "Dump". When it finishes, All of the ROM's files will be there. You will probably want to search the folder for .cab files, since there are thousands of files in the average ROM dump.
That should do the job for you.
Or just use Visual Kitchen to Dump the ROM, and then rebuild the OEMs to CABs.
Dave
could u walk me through the visual kitchen program?
Hmmm look for htcRIE_0.4.0.47 and extract what you want.
im trying to extrct the streaming media player cab...the one thats in most of the 6.5 roms that has a look a like HTC ablum look to it, but i cant find a cab using "htcRIE_0.4.0.47"
little help will might ...
You do not search for it at you WM ROM,
Search at the site...
Anyway i have been find it for you !
A newer version of htcRIE, enjoy!

With Visual Kitchen, just click on the Dump button at the bottom - and then browse to the NBH file .
Dave
i guess all nbh files dont have cabs because in the dump folder it creates...its only a couple of cabs and whole lot of systems files

Yeah, you have to rebuild the EXT packages to CAB's I don't know if there is a tool for that actually. Might be better dumping it the Dave (TyTNII) way, that will give you OEM's. There are tools for OEM 2 CAB.
Jason8 is working on a tool to convert all 3 all ways IIRC.

the nbh extract file launches for a quick second...it doesnt stay on the screen, as well as a lot of other files such as nbh split....do i need to update something in order to have these programs run properly?

You have to run them from the windows command line (CMD.exe). If you really want me to, I'll upload a batch file I made which automates most of this. You just put the NBH and tools in certain folders and run the batch file and it does the rest.

that would be so helpful
Alright, I fixed all the bugs in it (it was still in progress) and added some new features I had meant to add for a while, such as renaming the processed files by date processed (though you probably won't need them if you're only extracting one ROM). Hit [WINDOWS KEY] and R on your keyboard at the same time to open the Windows Run dialog, and type "%USERPROFILE%" without the quotes. Simply unzip the file and drag the folder called "Flashing" in the user folder (it's vital to have the Flashing folder in the correct spot. Otherwise, the entire script will fail). Place the NBH file you want to extract in the NBHDUMP folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder), and go to the IMGFS folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder). Now, run RhodiumRomDump.bat and the dump should commence, and a folder with your dump should appear in the same directory.
If anything should go wrong, please tell me so I can try to fix it.
EDIT: Please redownload, all issues I could find are fixed in this version. If you get errors about needing MSVCr71.DLL with this version, google is your friend.
maybe im not doing something right, ive been at it for days now...i put the "flashing folder" in C:\Documents and Settings\Sean (sean's my name..haha), put the nbh file in the NBH folder, ran "DumpRhodiumRom", i got 2 folders named "and" and "Setings"....when i run "dumpRhodiumRom", its just stays on the screen for half a second
ive extracted the rom before using visual kitchen...im trying to get some of the programs into cabs...the problem is that in the dump file, i see the programs i want, but they arent in cabs, so i cant just take its "exe" file and put it into another phone (well at least that didnt work for me)

That's odd. Can you tell me two things?
Where do these folders ("Settings" and "And") show up?
Hit [Windows Key] + R and type "CMD" (without quotes), then hit okay, then type "cd %USERPROFILE%\Flashing\Rhodium\IMGFS" (without quotes). Now, type "DumpRhodiumRom" (without quotes), and tell me exactly what is says (you don't actually have to include all the formatting and everything). Also, if you could tell me what color it's in, that would help.
I'm going to test it in a virtual Windows XP environment and see if it's compatiblity with XP that's the problem.
EDIT: So the problem seems to be the fact that it doesn't like the spaces in the folder name "Documents and Settings", hence the creation of the "and" and "settings" folders. Unfortunately, it's an important folder, so renaming isn't really possible. However, I think I know a simple fix to the original script, so I'll test that and post it shortly.

Try downloading cabtools V 0.3 and use pkg2cab to build the package back into a .cab file. I've never done it myself, but this looks like what you want.
