Can someone point me to the info to manually create ms_.nbf. I know there are no sw tools at this time to do this on the BA.
TIA[/b]
You don't need to create an ms_.nbf file. There is no way of doing this easily on a BA, but what everyone does is unlock their extended Rom using the tool on the wiki then modifying all the files manually. The wiki has a really great section on custmising extended ROMs on BAs.

Thanks, but I have been cooking Ext Rom's for quite some time now. My problem is I have to upgrade 140 units in the field. I used to use the SD card method, but it would be much easier if I could create my oun cooked ms_.nbf file that I could post for download to the field. There has to be a way to do it, I beleive it take a Unix workstation to compile it. Anyone know how?
Hi Cruzzer,
it is possible (I reckon anyway). There's now a similar tool that I've written for Magicians, Alpines and Universal devices - but it doesn't currently work with BlueAngels - seems it has a different parameter in the header for one of the fields I currently hard code
I'm not sure when I would get time to fix the problem though - might be a couple of weeks at least .....
But if you fancy a challenge http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31106&sid=35aa5e7aeb5b4899d82e5391af4cd4b7 will give you the algorithm and hints on how to write one yourself if you're really desperate.
Bal
I am not a C programer, so I can only hope you have time to make it work for BA.
TIA for all your hard work!
Hi Cruzzer,
I finally got round to sorting this out.
Send me a pm if you still need to create nbf files for BA and I'll send you the app and instructions.
Bal
Cant you post the instructions and soft here ?
Bal, please post here for all.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
I'll post here as suggested. Give me a day, as I've another issue to deal with first :roll:

The simpliest method.
1. Take MS_.NBA (a decrypted version of MS_.NBF). Open it in any hex editor, and search for bytes "EB FE 90 4D 53 57 49 4E 34 2E 31 00" ("ыРMSWIN4.1", there would be "FAT16" string a bit lower). The string should be found near offset 0x70000. Extract everything starting from the place you've found and up to the end of file to a file named "extrom.img"
2. Open "extrom.img" in WinImage, edit it as you like, save the file
3. Open the hex aditor and place modified "extrom.img" to the same place in MS.NBA file where it was before extraction.
that's all. Convert NBF to NBA and flash your ROM.
The same method cannot be used on Universal. It has TFAT16 instead of FAT16, WinImage knows nothing about TFAT and destroys FAT table. But there is a simple workaround.
Hi Guys,
here's the application.
It's a windows GUI which will also extract both splash screens embedded in the rom.
It's all pretty self-explanatory - but as a word of advice ... don't change any of the ROM parameters, unless you fancy having a play. You'll know what I mean when you try it out.
As usual - use this at your own risk ... plus I don't have a BA, so the only test I've been able to perform is to decode, re-encode and compare nbf files. I suggest you also carry this basic test out on your shipped extended roms.
Any problems just let me know and I'll offer what help I can.
Have fun.

Thank You!
Hi Cruzzer,
Just to let you know ... there may be a problem with altering and saving the ROM header information. Avoid that for now while I track the problem down and fix it!
Otherwise, if you don't change the ROM header info all works well.
Hey ho

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.

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?
Bebbo
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.

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...

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:

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 made small program which can merge .NBs into .NBH. Generated .NBH, of course, is not properly signed but enough for feeding SSPL.
Give small script which contains .NB filenames, model name, CID and so, to the program. Output file is RUU_signed.nbh.

Great work, it is the missing link for using SSPL with RadioBoorloader 0108 for the Hermes!
Thanks a lot!
Really Great work!
Great work!
Where I can find tools for sign *.nb?
Can you made patch for mamaich tools? Now addfile.exe not working
I confirm this tool as working. Just had breeze radio successfully flashed (one more time). And it is much more handy than manual assembling

Click to expand...

On Artemis the singature size is 1024, no idea about Herald.... i think it will not work but haven't tested it.
To make the signature 1024 you can do it like this (at least until bot releases a version which allows you to modifi the sig. size):
Code:
nbhgen.exe file.txt
perl nbh2dbh.pl RUU_signed.nbh RUU_signed.dbh
ImageHash.exe -raw RUU_signed.dbh RUU_signedNEW.nbh 1024
It will popup a window asking you to select the proper certificate to sign your file, if you don't have one you can import for example a test certificate from windows mobile SDK.
Any one guide for artemis...so that many people who hv bricked their Orbit can make them alive..
is there a possibility to use this nbhgen.exe for making a backup of the current Excalibur ROM?
I have a german XDA Cosmo running the original XDA Cosmo ROM.
And I also managed to make a backup with bkondisk
BUT what I have not been able to find out so far:
how to make an installable package out of that?
this nbhgen sounds good but how (if ever) can I use it for the Excalibur?
Do I have to sign the resulting .nbh or maybe will it work unsigned with the engineering SPL 1.11???
I want to have a backup before flashing other ROMs - and believe me I want flashing the Dash ROM (or the german MDA Mail ROM) sooo bad since I've heard that TomTom 6 runs perfectly on it (unlike on Cosmo ROM where it's nearly unusable )
I'm sorry, but I stil don't get it and can not find anything inside the wiki. How is this tool supposed to work when I have an OS.nb for example?
Do you leave fields blank if you don't want to perform that part of the upgrade? For example if you were not going to upgrade anything other than the OS would you leave everything except the last line blank like this (sample sample):
TRIN100
HTC__001
1.23.707.6
USA
400,06_OS.nb
Also, can the the first lines be anything? I assume they are descriptors on line one and two followed by your own version #.

Hi,
I have a nb0 file that I want to turn into a nbh. Is a nb0 file simply a nb but the OS part?
Can this tool do what I am looking for? The problem is I don't want to add a IPL, SPL etc - nor do I want to go to SP1.01.
thanks!
@daveh85: nb0 is the same as nb. Yes, you can convert it to nbh using this tool.
Hi,
I don't understand how to make the sample.txt.

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?
I am a software developer by trade and so I hope I will be comfortable with creating my own ROM. However, I have no idea where to begin! Can anyone point me in the right direction?
on the wiki you can all read about it.

you need a kitchen, in the kitchen you unpack a ROM image, you then exchange, remove or add files to the extracted ROM image. then you repack it. thats it. no programming skills involved.
and all information regarding kitchens can be found in the wiki, I did at least.

I have Hard-SPL'ed my X1 and am ready for a new ROM now. I have downloaded a NBH file and used the NBHUtil to unpack it. Is this the point at which I customise the individual parts? If so what do I use to do this with the NB files?
NBHUtil is not a kitchen, its a utility only. And NB files are just the components of the NBH file, like a NB for the radio part, a NB for the OS part, a NB for ... you get the idea. The actual contents (exe, dll, eg.: files that ARE windows mobile) are encoded inside the NB's.
Search for "RaphaelKitchen" version 0.62, download that. Once you got that far, get back in here and I'll give you the config files you'll need for the RaphaelKitchen.
Instructions on how to do what: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
In that message, leave out the parts about dumping and get directly to the instructions for the kitchen. The actual "cooking" (thats what its called, hence its called a kitchen) comes between instructions "e, b (for dumped ROM),space key" cuz now you just unpacked the ROM and you have tons and tons of DLLs, EXEs, eg.: you unpacked the NBH in NBs and decoded the NBs to its contents.
You cook by removing and adding stuff to the respective folders.
After you did that, continue by following the post: "c, a, press BuildOS Play icon and wait to finish, Close BuildOS, close PagePool Changer and press space" which equals putting the files back together and compiling a new NBH which you can flash...
and i'm sorry but the WIKI acutally REALLY does explain all that:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
The RaphaelKitchen is a modified version of alex kitchen for the kaiser, it is essentially exactly the same.
Cheers Schaggo!
I was looking at the Xperia Wiki not the main Wiki My bad sorry.
I'll give this a go later and report back
No problem, no problem. As I said, as you start cooking, get back in here and I'll provide pre-edited config files with all the settings for the X1.

Hi, could you provide the pre-edited config files for X1? Thanks.
Ok so here's what I have done:
Download and unpacked RaphaelKitchen 0.62 as stated.
Ran it with 'e' then 'a' as the command line parameter to extract the NB files again (just to see).
Found all the NB files in BaseROM folder and a sh*tload of mixed files in the temp folder. At the root I have a couple of BIN files as well as some NB related files. dump_imgfs and dump_xip are the main folders in there with lots of bits beneath then. Is this right?
Then ran the build ROM commands as you stated. Pagepool wasn't open though(?) or couldn't see it anyway. Everything else went to plan and I got a NBH file in the end.
I expected the packages folder to be populated but nothing went in. Has this all gone to plan?
**Edit: Also never saw PagePool **
Here is the extra config you need for X1
Extract and put the files in the root of the RaphaelKitchen.
Run "X1Kitchen.CMD".
This is what I am using for "e"xtract and "c"ook a room and it's working perfectly w/ me. Other options is not tested or use by me.
I even added/modded some more files. Replace all files and run RaphaelKitchen.cmd and continue as instructed in the manual.
Cheers guys. Will try this config tonight and get back to you
In the extract ROM there are two options:
- one needs RUU_signed.nbh only
- the other one needs RUU_signed.nbh + part01.raw and part02.raw
which is the right one to choose? if b): where do i get those files?
/edit: never mind, figured it out myself
Flashing now :-D
For future reference, if some more people ask:
if you just want to unpack an existing ROM image (nbh-file) use option 1. this unpacks the file and fills up the folders with the files to cook with.
if you want to reconstruct a ROM you (or someone else) dumped from his device, chose option 2. this decodes the raw-files (dumps) according to (simply spoken, please forgive my inaccuracy ) the template which is given by the nbh-file. without the nbh-file the kitchen doesnt know how to decode the raw-files, it needs a reference file (the nbh) to do so.
hi i'm a noob to the whole wm scene and i'd like to learn how to cook my own roms as well. I've downloaded the kovsky kitchen but i can't find anywhere on how to use it. i've looked in the wiki but can't find how to use kitchens. maybe i've overlooked something. at any rate, if someone could post a link on a tutorial or any info that could get me started, it'd be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

thanks! one more thing... should i backup my original rom? if so, how do i do this?
Hypercore and X1 "kovsky"
i just had to ask, well kovsky kitchen works for the experia right? so hypercore multidevice, shows no experia or kovsky config, #11 post says raphael kitchen xperia.cmd, so you can use that kitchen for x1 as well, so how do you get hypercore/X1? to work
Hello, im new here and im trying to cook my first TP2 ROM.
Im using "Ervius Visual Bepe´s Kitchen 1.8.2" and my used Stock-Rom is "RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_GER_2.07.407.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship"
It´s Core is "21887", it´s Language Code is "0407" (Germany) and i allready test cooked it after dumping and it worked, i mean i wondered a little bit because of the RUU_Signed.nhb of the Cooked "Stock" had 198 MB while the Original-Stock got 248 MB but in German Forums they told me that´s Normal so i think all is Okay.
Cooking is no Problem so far, i only have two problems:
First is, i don´t have my TP2 Yet, i will get it 2-6 Weeks and would appreciate if someone could test my ROM´s until then.
Second is, i try to integrate some Things that i wanted to have on my TP2, such as a Packet of new Icons for the Battery-State in combination with a tweaked Battery.dll for showing State in 1% Steps.
I import my Cab´s with "50Chickens Ervius Kitchen Updater 1.31 (160110)"
The tweaked Driver integrate´s fine, then next has to be the first attachedment: Some Certificate´s so that Custom-Icon´s can be used. (The Second attachement are the Icons self so that you know which i mean)
The problem is that whatever i do, i find no way to get the Certificate´s in EXT Folder Format (EXT Folders from Ervius Kitchen) or in OEM Format. I tried "Ervius Packages Creator 5.4" in Combination with "MSCEInf", i tried to open the .cab with 7-Zip, open the _setup.xml (the only containing File) but i dont have a Plan where to put the Code Strings, i included a Text file that contains the .xml Content, maybe you Guys now what to do with this, but generally all Cab Converter´s (no matter if OEM or EXT) Fail at this Cab (the first, second runs fine again) and the cab only contains that _setup.xml, i personally think that the "Certificate´s" are some kind of Regesrty Entries or somewhat but i am Noob at this thematics.
Can you please tell me what i have to do with this?
