HowTo Dump Triniry ROM!
1) For NBH->*.nb, use nbh_tools (for extract *nb use StartExtract.bat)
2) For OS.nb->dump, use imgfs_tools_182.rar:

No! This is "full" extract Rom Update to files

Great! But will this dump personal info too? (don't want others to get hold on information I don't want them to have about me... ) hehe!
And one more thing, what is the diffrence between NBH and OS? *Feel like a noob asking... but anyway)
Edit: Someone keen on giving a step-by-step instructions on how to dump the rom from my Trinity?

No, instructions provided by lvsw are not exactly for dumping the rom from a live device but for "extracting" the contents of imgfs from the NBH upgrade file. Same thing can be accomplished using perl tools from itsme (see the wiki for more details).

NBH is the format used for ROM upgrades, it is a signed file containing all the rom parts, normally: OS, ExtROM, GSM (radio), Splash, SubSplash, IPL and SPL.

If you want to dump the rom running on your device use the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
keep in mind that the raw files you'll extract are not useful to flash anothr device, as you cannot "sign" the exctracted contents after, and the bootloader will not accept this upgrade (theoretically if you feel brave you can use psdwrite to write the NAND flash with the raw rom file, but I think no one tried this on a trinity yet.)

Aha! I see... I hoped I could dump the rom so others who needs the Norwegian/Scandinavian version could get their hands on it, but if it's not usefull for others, I guess there is no point in dumping the rom and uploading it to the wiki then..?

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,
bot

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
601,03_SubSplash.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.

Hi bot
Thanks !I think you may do universal NBF generator .
You may add in sample.txt one parameter packet size ( Trynity Hermes 64 ) in Atremis 1024 etc

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 #.

I second that thought.

It seems to not work on Windows vista.
Any idea ?

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

the most simpple method is to create any 320X310 picture in png format and rename it to welcomehead.96.the name should be as welcomehead.96.png and copy it to ur Windows folder and overright..make sure to copy the orignal one for ur later use.

thanks!

i simply change my bootsplash! thanks!

and all boot splash can be changed.
2003 Rom editor + any extrom.
1 cleaning via romeditor all contents from extrom.
2 insert 1st and 2nd boot splash image you want.
3 flash extrom only
that`s all
c_shekhar - you don`t know it great ROM master ?

@obaz
But there is no extROM in WM5 or WM6? Which extROM are you editind ?

ExtROM diminished in WM5 and WM6 instead of that we got extROM in SD Card. I wondering which extROM is meant by Obaz

amerikans....
you don`t need to wonder - if you whant to change bootsplash - just do it as I tell.
THERE IS EXT ROM IN WM6 AND WM6 (few kb) - it can`t be totaly remooved.
when you use BIG STORAGE tweek you just make it as small as it can be.
and remember - rom, extrom, radiorom are SEPARATED !!!

@selankahlagi
@peter01
What obaz says is correct. Wonderful obaz! Nobody thought the way you suggested for changing the bootsplash screens.
Let me elaborate what is required to be done in the lay man's language:--
From your old storehouse pickup any (immamterial whether for WM3/WM2003SE/WM5) it is found in the name of ms_.nbf .
search out for old ExtROM editing tool called ER2003Edit_1_4_26. You shall find it on this forum or search using google.
Install the ExtROM editor on your PC.
Now open the ms_.nbf using the tool and delete the entire content from it except the splash screens. replace the splash screen (both) as you like. and enjoy.
Flash it on your device using HimaUpgradeUt.exe or HimaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe

Sorry double post

Link to Editor: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Tools/ER2003Edit_1_4_26.zip

Does someone actually tested this ?
and as far as i know the extrom is resized to 128 kb which is not enough for the 2 boot screens
also (i am not sure about this but ...) the new boot loader in wm5 and wm6 does not handle boot images the same way as in wm2003

Dear C_Shekhar
As I know you never include ms_.nbf to your package in WM5 and WM6. Thank for your tip

but it was included in WM2003 Windows..and plus i dnt think it will work just as Xplode said..

the procedure works very well. even on WM6. I have tested it many times. The extROm is shrunk to more than 128KB definitely..

You are right that ms_.nbf was never included by me in the package. because, even if we delete the content of the ms_.nbf, the size of the ms_.nbf still remains abt 16MB. Flashing it along with the nk.nbf thakes proportionately larger time for no bigger material gains.
Moreover it is one time activity (in my opinion) whereas you flash nk.nbf may be 100 times for testing. I am already using replaced bootsplash screens on my device.

You are righ again my dear C_Shekhar, I have delete all the files in ms_.nbf but I check the size remains 16 MB, how it could be. May be we delete only the list in ER_2003 editor And I agree we will not get magnificent gain from that

i don't have a copy of ms_.nbf file. where can i find one? i googled it and most download links were closed due to being old files.

simple, find a photo, change its size to 240x320 pix save it as bmp file, load that file into nb_image_converter and convert it to a .nb file, open the splash tool and convert the .nb file that you just made into an .nbh, put that .nbh file into a folder with custom ruu. Run custom ruu and it will store the image onto your device as a splash screen.

[Que Made dump - got 4 .raw files - no .nbh or .nb - What's Next?

Hello fellow HTC-ers!
I've made a dump of my Blackstone (using pdocread -l), all seems fine. Got 4 .raw files. Now, Dr. Jay in his movie says to "get" a .nbh file. From where?? I'm confused. Read several postings about IMGFS, but those didn't help me to get to the next step.
To be precise : I want to have a flashable backup of my original (NLD : Original NLD ROM - 1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14) ROM before I install HSPL and start cooking my own. Preferably, I want to create this original flashable ROM myself, just to get familiar with the tools and the process.
Could anyone tell me where to go from here? (4 .raw files)
Thanks.
Grt., K.
ps. when I search this forum for ".nb" or "nbh" I get no hits.. Does the searchkey have to consist of a minimum number of characters?

Please read and use this very usefull tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
You need to download an official stock rom. Copy your part1 and part2 raw files and the RUU_signed.nbh (from the downloaded and extracted stock rom) into the baserom folder. You need to launch the BlackStoneKitchen.cmd from the rom kitchen folder and follow the on-screen instuctions: extract the content (push e then b), then re-cook it (push c then a).

thanks, tsummer.. I've downloaded the kitchen and the original stock ROM's a few weeks ago. The stock package consisted of 4 .rar files, extracting to one .exe file. No .nbh! So, where should I get it from? If I start the .exe, an application pops up, wanting to flash my device.. The thread you posted does not shed any light on where to obtain or how to extract the right .nbh file..
I really read in to this stuff, but somehow the whole "getting the .nbh-file" remains foggy to me. Please advice.
/edit : I've got a "RUU_Signed.nbh" from a zip called "Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip". Is that the right one? It's 513 KB (526.193 bytes) big. Question remains : How should I extract the existing .nbh from my running ROM / Device?

Found it!
To get the .NBH file from a Stock ROM .exe file, right click the .EXE and select "Extract Files..." from your rar-quickmenu!
Wow.. took me "only" 8 hours to figure this one out...
*shame* dr.Jay does explain it in his movie "rebuilding".. ouch.

Open the exe with winrar and you will see the RUU_signed.nbh (this is the correct nbh). Copy this nbh into the baserom folder and use the BlackstoneKitchen.cmd.

I was just wondering if I wanted to re-cook a rom such as Dutty's or L26 to add one extra package is that the same procedure as above assuming I dump their rom from my device?
