bootsplash image

How can I change my bootsplash image on Qtek2020i???

Desktop Application = nb image converter.
Purpose = use to convert ur .jpg file into a set of splash1.nb and splash2.nb files (the win mobile thingy uses this pic format at bootups).
Copy .nb files to your device /windows directory.
copy BootSplash_Changer.cab to device and run it. lastly please do a soft reset.
done....
thanks

mm... why two pictures? where second is shown? first appears when you turn on device... and second?...

thank's alot!

Some phones (not the Alpine as far as I know, though) have two splash images, and show splash1.nb and splash2.nb as they boot - if you look through the forums, some people detail how they've got pictures of their kids or family as the splash images.
The Alpine / 2020i just uses the one though, I believe. I remember creating two different images, but it just showed the first one until it reached Windows and the PIN entry screen.

I see... I used only Alpin so don't know what shows on other...
btw - can I save my current boot picture?
because if something goes wrong - i belive my guarantee would be canceled if they notice I made something with it...

I managed to obtain the original XDA2i splash image from the ROM, and I posted it up on this forum.

I saw it, but I live in Russia, and here is no O2...))
my alpine has picture of Moscow with some numbers at the bottom - some serial number I belive...

If you are very patient, you can strip out the original boot splash logo with a hex editor. It took me a while to get it just right, but it is possible.
Alternatively, if you have the original firmware on your PC or on the web anywhere if you send me a link to it I can try and strip it out.
I believe someone's also in the process of making a program to save the original boot splash, but it's not finished yet.

Excuse me... i downloaded the nb converter but when i run it it says a comdlg32.ocx is missing ?? how to make it run ?? THankzz

Google for the file, put it in the same directory as the .exe and it should work ok.

For those looking for the actual attachment I was talking about earlier, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34359

you guys are a lifesaver

Dunno about the rest of us but I'm always glad to dispense nuggets of advice whenever I can.

NBH Generator

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.
Sample script included.
C:\>nbhgen sample.txt
NBH Generator ver0.1 by bot
00_IPL.nb
01_SPL.nb
02_MainSplash.nb
03_SubSplash.nb
04_ExtROM.nb
05_GSM.nb
06_OS.nb
Completed.
enjoy,

Hi
Sorry, but your tool didn't generate an .nbh file.
I've tried to run this script:
HERM300
HTC__001
1.23.707.6
USA
100,00_IPL.nb
200,01_SPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb

900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
400,06_OS.nb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your tool starts, but there is no .nbh. edit: It's my mistake.Ignore my post.Sorry.
What's the use of "100,00_IPL.nb ?

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
thanx.

Great tool and very useful, thanks!

does nbhgen work on Artemis and Herald?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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'm trying to create a Big Storage of the last LVSW's ROM.
I have the following files :
00_MainSplash.bmp
00_MainSplash.nb
01_SubSplash.bmp
01_SubSplash.nb
02_ExtROM.nb
03_OS.nb
How do I create a sample.txt file to create the RUU_signed.nbh file to flash on a Hermes 200 ??
Thanks for enlighting me

This would be your "sample.txt":
Code:
HERM***
SuperCID
Murcielago
WWE
600,00_MainSplash.nb
601,01_SubSplash.nb
700,02_ExtROM.nb
400,03_OS.nb

Using reshack you can change any text, any graphics in any exe and dll.

To be honest I have no idea, I stumbled upon that flag once in reshack but didn't feel the urge to edit it and didn't take note of which file it was in. Seek and you will find. Nice job on a boring rainy day

well than..i will have to start looking than

extract the file shell32.exe from rom (or copy it from the windows folder of your device), there is the flag icon included, replace it with our own icon (resolution 21 x 18 pixels) and save the file with a new filename. copy it to your device in windows folder and change the registry settings "HKLM\init\Launch50" to the new filename. restart your device.
i hope that helps

thanx will try

Simple WM6.1 ROM kitchen

For those of you who want to customize wm6.1, here it a simple ROM kitchen to do so. Beginners, please wait for my GUI release. It is much simpler to use. This isn't that hard, but it takes a little bit of time on your side.
The basics:
All software and regedits are contained in folders called OEM packages. These are in the OEM folder.
All operating system stuff is in the SYS folder. I've also moved the shadow drivers here so you don't have to mess with them.
To make OEM packages:
Download ervius's package creator 5.4 from XDA-developers. Use this to open the cab file to convert into a package.
Copy the OEM package to the OEM folder.
Do NOT delete the OEM packages you don't want. You will choose them later in a different way.
NOTE: You can always download premade OEM packages from XDA-Develoers. There are tons of options.
If you want to make a regedit.
Create a new folder in the OEM folder and convert it into a package using Package Creator 5.4.
Open the RGU file inside with notepad
Edit like following. Note that this isn't the way to comment in regedit files:
Code:
REGEDIT4 <-----Make sure this is always the first line
------Leave one line blank here-------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Example Software\Example Key] <----- Navigate to keys like this
"Example String" = "test" <-------- Write values with quotes. Strings are given with quote after the equal sign.
"Example Directory" = "Windows\\test.jpg" <------ Use \\ to indicate a \ between directories. Otherwise, the ROM build will not work.
"Example Number" = dword: 5000 <----- use dword: to indicate a number or hex value.
<----- You can add more reg entries after the first one. Make sure to specify a different key when needed
-----leave 2 lines at the end of file------
For Sliding Panels:
Leave ROM as it is.
For Neo interface:
Replace Chome folders and bronze folders in SYS folder with the ones attached below.
Select Neo Interface in the buildos step.
Build ROM:
start buildos.bat
when it opens packagetools+buildos, click on the buildos tab.
Click load rom and navigate and select the kitchen folder
Select which oem packages you want and then click Go.
Once it is done, close out.
Sit back and relax for a while so the batch file can build the ROM.
Self-explanatory from here.
Post any questions/problems here.

NOTES: The inlcuded T-Mobile Edition Package is my beta version. Feel free to build on it. You might also notice the empty placeholder folder for my N33D4SP33D Edition rom that I haven't worked on yet.

To make OEM packages:
Download ervius's package creator 5.4 from XDA-developers. Use this to open the cab file to convert into a package.

I found the program but get many errors when I start it up on my computer.. Im currently running Vista Ultimate. I went into control panel and changed the enviroment to emulate WinXP when the program runs and still get many errors..
Is there a vista friendly program out there or alternative available?

I'm running Vista Ultimate too and it works perfectly for me.
Attached is the version I have.

Great! yours works thanks alot now to get my feet wet in all this lol

I got this error
'Error building default.hv and user.hv! (see imto "BuildOsX-log.Txt")
i can't see anything in there. What now. Thanks

Do you mean there's nothing in the BuildOsX-lot.txt? There should be. A few lines from the last, or the last line, there should be the registry file that messed up and on which line it messed up on. The file is given by the GUID, or that long string of numbers and letters that you see.

no, there is nothing what tell me what to do. so what should i do with that error.

i will make stick this thread.Hope next times will see some roms with this kitchen

Thanks tom. I'll make sure to post my GUI kitchen soon to let more people create ROMs a lot easier.

what kind of things did you modify or add? Maybe I can help based on that.

I get the same error for the following:
InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\Registry\fcbf420c-04fd-478f-bd29-e4ab55973337.rgu" within a few lines of line 359.
ImportFromPackageListStrict: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed importing ".\Registry\fcbf420c-04fd-478f-bd29-e4ab55973337.rgu"
wmain: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed building DEFAULT hives
Looked through each App in the OEM folder until I found the matching rgu number, which in my case is the HTC DirectShow. Took that out of my ROM build, ran again and it states that it completed.

I think there is a problem with the directshow package. I'll check the registry entries. Until then, I think you might need to go without that.

This may sound like a stupid question, but hear me out. I have used BuildOS in the past for an Apache from PPCGeeks\PPCKitchens. Once the ROM is finished creating in that version it auto prompts to update your device.
After the ROM is done in your version, I then selected the Package Tool tab and pointed it to the "temp" directory and it did it's thing. Now I am at a loss for what to do next. I see a .nb file temp\dump\ROM directory but i don't see a .nbh file. Do I use the NBHTool even though PHOEB is not listed?

I'm not too worried about the directshow, I just that maybe the other guy was getting the error for the same reason so figured I would pass on my resolution.

Sorry, I guess I didn't completely read you post. For the HTC Rom Tool, use the exacalibur settings. Those are the exact same as the Juno.

all I have is o4_osxip.nb.exe in the temp folder no nbh is this the right nb. file I use with
htc tool I put exacalibur settings but don't no what to put in firmware contents
do I put o4_osxip.nb.exe in system and none in the ipl spl and splash and 0x800 radio

ok i did this
Build ROM:
start buildos.bat
when it opens packagetools+buildos, click on the buildos tab.
Click load rom and navigate and select the kitchen folder
Select which oem packages you want and then click Go.
Once it is done, close out.
Sit back and relax for a while so the batch file can build the ROM.
ok where is the rom all i have is o4_osxip.nb.exe in the temp

i have no file imgfs-new.bin in the temp all i have is 04_OSXIP.nb.exe and cecompr_nt.dll and CECompressv4.dll
and where would i look for the batch file

Thank you for your works, ND4SPD
but i can not download your kitchen, it says reached the 4G limit.
because i want to know is there any wrong method i used.
My issue is :
when buildimgfs, the total sections can not bigger than 1B200.
when i put too many files into the imgfs file, the buildimgfs will quit without any info.
but the 71M imgfs.bin have about 22000 sections.
do you have issue too ?
Is it because my PC have only 1G RAM, not enough to do the building?

@Hikey: I have that same problem too. It's the way t-mobile packaged the rom. I'm going to try using the dopod rom for the base next. It might be the PC too. I only have 1GB of RAM, maybe it isn't enough.
@kron2:
run buildos
download this zip: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xuhlc5
copy the files from the zip archive to the temp directory.
open up the cmd that's now in the temp directory.
type the following:
Code:
ImgfsFromDump imgfs-old.bin imgfs-new.bin
Sit back and relax. If this finishes without crashing like Hikey said, do this:
Code:
ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin 04_OSXIPN.nb os.nb -conservative
Now you can run the htccert program in the main directory of the kitchen to build the rom. When you are done making the nbh, copy it to the RUU folder and run the update utility.

how to extract cabs from NBH file

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 .

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.

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.
