Is there a way that I can extract a .CAB file of the custom ringtones that Summiter had in his ealrier ROMS, or does anyone have this already?
Extracting from ROM
Use Total Commander. Open /Extended_Rom/ and save the file to a location like your minisd.
I tried doing this with the tmobile custom rom and it wouldnt let me do anything to the cabs in the extended rom. Any ideas why?

The extended rom under AKU 2+ is locked by the operating system... if you want a custom one for yourself, you'll have to cook one yourself...
Thanks for the info, but I'd rather stay away from cooking one for awhile
Using total commander, if you navigate to the extended rom, you can make a copy of it, say on the sd card. Then you can run it separately. This is what I do, and the list from T-Mobile's 2.26 is here:

Alternately, I have posted a copy of the cabs:

Dude you are the man I will check it out in a bit.
Thanks it worked out perfectly!

Does anyone have or know of a place where I can find a zip file containing the cabs that are in the new QTek ROM? I skipped customization, but want to install some of the CABs. Thanks.

Welp..you could install total commander, then browse to your extended ROM, and install the cabs you want from there.
In total commander, just input "\Extended_Rom" in the path bar at the top.
I've extracted the nk.nbf file from O2's upgrade Rom, and have then extracted the following files:
80040000-OS_0.nb
9b000000-Extension.nb
96000000-GSM_0.nb
91000000-SPL_1.nb
etc...
Now i know that the cab files i want exist within the 9b000000-Extension.nb file (as i am guessing that this is the Extended Rom). But i can't figure out how to extract the cab files (or all the files) from within in it.
I've searched around, and it's helped me get this far, but i can't seem to figure out how to get past this point. Can anyone tell me how to do this on my PC.
Many thanks.
I know someone in here can give me a quick answer to this one. All i want to do is get some cab files out of an O2 extended rom file on my computer (i can't use the extended rom unlocker on my pocket pc because i am currently using the crossbow OS, which doesn't include the O2 extended rom).
Thanks for any help.
If you are using orwell's wm6 your extended rom is probably still on your phone unless you wiped it off.
look for a software called winimage & load the extrom.nb file then u will see the contents.
Anyone on here know how to Extract a CAB file from a ROM/Extended ROM? ive been trying to find something about this on here and cant seem to find anything that pertains to it. there are several programs that are included in roms and extended roms that i have and i wold like to be able to put them on my 8125 with the ROM i have now. Thanks in Advance!

If you already have a cabfile that resides in the extended rom the process is quite easy... just use total commander and copy the file from there to a place on your device where you can later use it...
If you don't have a cabfile but just a program, say arcsoft mms composer that's already integrated into the rom, the process gets a little more complicated, but not impossible. You will, however, need to know all the files that the program uses, dll's, imagefiles, exe's and registry posts, copy them from rom to your windows pc and from there use a program like ce cab manager to create a cabfile for it (if you want. you can merely transer all the files and registry posts to your current rom without creating a cab)

cool, thanks for the info, what program do i need to use to unpack the NBF so i can access the files? I tried to use the one in the wiki (typho5) but i cant seem to get it to work.
for dumping rom's read through this thread
You'll probably want to read it all and I'm sure that it wont make that much sense to begin with but it'll come to you
For converting a nbf to nb files use:
Code:
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf does NOT make it a .nba file!
It extracts the contents of the rom (OS, Extended Rom, Radio, Splash Screen, IPL/SPL) into .nb files.
The Extended Rom file can be opened with WinImage.

Extended ROM purpose is explained in wikis
Visbile ext rom isn't same as unlocked ext rom
Bootloaders above 1.05 do not allow to touch the extended rom in normal phone operation as it corrupts the FAT (file allocation table of that partition).
The best one can do is to flash an ext rom already built (10MB file) to it via RUU or RAPI utils (WST)

Where can I find some? I did a search and could not find the roms
Just grab any extended rom from any wizard rom then open it with WinImage. Delete what you hate add what you love then edit config.txt. Use nb2nbf.exe to add your extended rom so that it can be flashed.
?
Does every Rom Have an extended rom? If I have a nk.nbf rom file is that the file I open or is the extended rom a seperat rom that is not included in any rom.
I have files in my extended rom that were all related to T-mobile but it is a Cingular phone. I Figure these must have been put by another rom. I did a forms search for "Extended ROM" and got 20 pages of hits. Could you help point me in the right direction.
Hello.
For my wizard i am looking for the cabfile that installs the necessary files to use DTMF. I know there was such a cab file in the extended rom when i got the phone but i flashed windows mobile 6 into it and now i can't find it anymore.
I already searched everywhere i know for the cab and tried different tweak utility's to turn it on but it doesn't work. If someone could lookup the file in their extended rom and make it available to me that would be really great!
