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.
I used to decode them using typhoonnbfdecode.pl in the past, but it seems not to work with newer roms.
I get the folowing error:
read 04741800 for os from nk.nbf
no ECEC at 0x40 in OS image
Is there another way?
Please help
I'm surprised that noone has done this.
simply does not work anymore
typho2 can correctly extract parts from wizard rom image (SD-image f.e.)
TyphoonNbfTool_04 can correctly extract parts from wizard nk.nbf, but doesn't work for rom ver. 2.0... and higher..
button, thank you very much, i'm going to try it right away
EDIT: Works flawlessly! Thanks
This is a howto for editing all the splashscreens of your Wizard.
There are several tutorials however none of them deal with all 3 of them.
I myself had a lot of searching before I found the way to change HTC Logo.
All info is already on this forum, I only wrote this little tutorial, changed a tool and created some scripts to ease your work..
I have changed a few steps (just to make it easier)
I have included every program and file used.
WARNING:
DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STEPS.
Do not blame me if you brick your phone, your house burns down, your girlfriend gets pregnant and all other catastrophies..
1st step: Splashscreen1 the HTC Logo
The HTC logo is the first splash screen you see (its the screen without the IPL/SPL ETC data).
It is a 240 W x 320 H 24 bits bitmap, but it is compressed..
In order to make a HTC_Logo Splash screen do the following:
1a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as 24 bits bitmap.
1b) Call this file htc.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
1c) Doubleclick htc-compres.bat -> Now a file called "HTC_Logo.nb" is created. The size of this file should be exactly 65536 bytes *
2nd Step: Splashscreen2 the Splash Screen
The Splash Screen is the second splash screen you will see when booting the phone
It is again a 240 W x 320 H 24 bits bitmap.
2a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as 24 bits bitmap.
2b) Call this file splash.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
2c) open nb_image_converter.exe; load your splash.bmp and click save .nb; call this file signed.002 ( not signed.002.nb )
2d) doubleclick splash2.bat. A file called signed-splash.nb is now created. The size of this file should be exactly 196608 bytes
3rd Step: Create the splash-installer.
3a) run nbfsplash-tool.exe (this file has been modified by me in order to simplify the process)
3b) Model ID is wizard (don't change)
- Choose the language of your rom (eg. WWE)
- leave OEM version; Operator version and CID empty ( So don't change!!!)
3c) Check File #1 and add the signed-splash.nb file; select the image name "Splash screen" and click the start address
-it should read "92000000" don't change!!
3d) Check File #2 and add the htc_logo.nb file file; select the image name "HTC Logo" and click the start address
-it should read "9D000000" don't change!!
3e) Click translate. a file called nk.nbf is created.
3f) open RUU_SPLASH.zip and drag and drop the nk.nbf.
3g) rename RUU_SPLASH.zip to RUU_SPLASH.exe
Now you are ready to flash your splash files.
doubleclick the RUU_SPLASH.exe and follow the well known actions (it will be done in less than a minute).
4rd Step: Splashscreen3 the Welcomehead.96.png
It is the third splash screen you will see when booting the phone
It is a 240 W x 320 H png file.
4a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as a 24 bits bitmap.
4b) Call this file welcomehead.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
4c) doubleclick welcomehead.bat, now a file called welcomehead.cab is created.
4d) install the cab on the phone.
Have Fun.

In order for this to work you need the MSVC 8.0 runtimes:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en
Note: If your own bitmap is compressed and the HTC_Logo.nb exceeds the 64K limit, the bitmap is too complex. The Lz compression can't handle it.
Save the BMP as a gif file, then open the gif and save it again as a bmp. The compression of gif is enough to simplify the bitmap.
Then try 1b-1c again.
If it still is not enough, then you'll have to convert to jpeg (try lowest compression first!) and re-convert it to BMP, after that try 1b-1c again..
created some more scripts
I have added some scripts in order to eliminate the use of a hex-editor.
Made a cab-creator to change the welcomehead.96.png.
Modified the tut (simplified).

Following your instructions I have created the file [htc.bmp] then clicked the file [htc-compres.bat] nothing happens.
section 2 works fine.
Sugestion for where I'm going wrong?

It's not your fault!
I forgot to include a file.
Now it has been included in the zip file in the first post.
[edit]
removed the file because startpost had been updated some time ago..

I also attached the file here so you dont have to download the whole zip.
unpack it and put it in the folder with my files.

Thanks for that, works a treat.
finally i can modify the HTC-Logo by myself! thanks a lot!!
I tried. Problems here:
I made a 240x320 24bit BMP file (htc.bmp, i double check its properties), after i run htc-compres.bat, a file named HTC_Logo.nb was created, so far so good? no, the file size WASN'T 65,535 but 119,004, any hints?

If your own bitmap is compressed and it exceeds the 64K limit, the bitmap is too complex. The Lz compression can't handle it.
I encountered it once, I saved it as a gif file, and then opened it again and saved it again as a bmp. The compression of gif was enough to simplify the bitmap.
It won't work always, in some cases you even have to convert to jpeg (try lowest compression first!) and than back again.
Superb - I love it whena plan comes together.
Great little tutorial, worked a treat.

great work. makes my life easyer.thanks!!!!!
I'm using a wizard, i had no problems changing splash screen using other thread instructions, but theres something i can't get here; you guys talk about 2 or even 3 different splashes, i had only one;] seriously, first there goes the splash i uploaded, then after a few seconds, the same picture with rom, radio etc numbers on it... is it other than usually? enlight me;]

The 1st screen you see (without rom radio spl etc) is the HTC Logo
The 2nd screen you see (with rom radio spl etc) is the splash
The 3rd screen you see (again without rom radio spl etc) is the welcomehead of windows mobile 5.0
A lot of roms use the same picture for the first 2 screens.
Some may even use the same as welcomehead.
Excelent Work
Nice job,

Hi,
I am trying to load a JAR file I created for a college project onto my Diamond.
I created it using Java / J2ME and the GUI was created with NetBeans 6.1. The app works fine on my PC, but for added bonus points with my tutors if I could get it workong on my Diamond it would be brilliant.
I copied the Jar over and it failed to install. I then found "JAD Maker" which creates a JAD file, but this also failed with
"errno=906 Invalid Descriptor"
I have googled this, but to no joy
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
DG.
Same problem installing gmail from m.google.com/mail.. help!!!
I'm having the same issue when I try to download or load a .jar or a .jad file into my diamond.
Also does Diamond have a java machine? Or do I have to download one into the system?
You should open Java(MIDP) manager and install local file in case the file on your Internal Storage.
The jar should be MIDP2 and CLDC 1.0 or 1.1
I recently upgraded my XPERIA X1 to Windows Mobile 6.5 using the W4X ROM however I'm disappointed the a majority of the ringtones have been removed.
I'm curious whether they can be extracted from a NBH image.
Now, firstly, I have no idea how to cook a ROM but I imagine the files and folders are contained within the image file somewhere.
I have a backup of the previous official R2AA rom that came pre-installed with the device however I have no idea on how to extract the NBH file.
I found an application that splits the NBH into several NB files however I have no idea how to progress further.
I imagine the 'Windows.nb' image contains the contents of the Windows folder on the device where the ringtones would be.
So, could someone point me in the right direction to find an application that will allow me to extract the folders contained within the NB file so I can access the missing ringtones and reinstall them?
Cheers,
Hyped

if you download jerpelea's kitchen (it's in one of the stickies) and put the rom in the source folder then run the command it extracts everything from it, and i suppose you could probably browse through the files that way, but i'm nt sure, just a suggestion!
or you could probably search for the ringtones on XDA, i know there are some from the rhodium somewhere!
Search this forum and you will find plenty of ringtone packages to download (removed from ROM but as addon shared by the cooks)
Thought gtrab shared it also in his cooking tutorial....
