Greetings,
How could i extract nk.nbf from the underground WM6 rom.
Because it is needed for all Cid locked G4 and it will be helpful to everybody.
Can anybody tell me how to? I tried searching it but i didnt find any good answer.
Thanks
I think you can just right click and extract it.
You wont see it unless you are able to view hidden files.
You may have to change it from hidden to read only in order to use the file.
Hope im not spoiling anybody's secret.
Hope this helps you.
if you've downloaded a self-extracting exe you can in most cases just rename it to rar and then open the file. Otherwise just get the nk.nbf from the temp directory that the exe is extracted to...
208 error
do i need a seperate application to get NBD 8.3 to extract to phone keep getting 208 file in use error I am noob but succsefully sim and cid unlocked 8125 and have had severall different ROMs on phone. Flashed back to button love ipl/spl and then flashed TMO 2.26 rom and really want to try NBD's latest and hot new ROM any help greatly appreciated. the info on here made me think I had a grip on flashing until I hit this hurdle
This site and the chef's awsome
If you have been successfully uploading several ROMs before the NBD8.3 with the RUU works in the same way.
Included in the rar file there is also a readme explaining pretty much in detail how to run the RUU to install. Moreover you will also find some explaination on the different error codes.
You may want to download the rar file again and have a second try.
File error
Sorry bout that I was not extracting to a folder and then running the RUU that's how I kept getting the error Thanks for your help
it´s simple download the magic program called wizard service tool (WST) by mestrini, you have a icon named nbf actions, press extract nbf open the rom you want, choose the destiny folder and voilá, you have the nbf file extracted, after you haved to cook then! with all you want S.O. radio ipl or spl..
Let's say I have a NBF file.
I want to pull it apart.
What tool(s) are used to do this? I've looked around with Search and haven't found the answer..... (the source for the tool(s) required would help too!)
I'm running into nasty problems with the Arcsoft MMS (and some of the camera apps) and would like to pull them out of the WM5 build (original T-Mobile) and try those to see if they work properly....
Hints and pointers appreciated!
super easy.

please read the stickies first...
Did - didn't realize it was in the hypercore one.....
I've tried to avoid using that as it gets flagged as having a nasty trojan in it.
Let's hope its wrong!
OK, silly further problem - the RUU executable I have with the base T-Mobile ROM is an executable - and while it claims to be "extracting" the NBF file, I can't find it.
How do you strip out he NBF so it can be broken down? Or is the NBF somewhere around here? I've looked in the archives and haven't found it - just the EXE, which, when I try to search the system for the NBF while its sitting on the "startup" screen (which should allow me to find it, yes?) it fails.
I don't have an XP machine handy right now, but as I recall, when you run the executable it should put all the extracted files in:
c:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings\Temp
And it will be inside the most recent .tmp folder.
Same thing for Vista, but the .tmp folder is in here:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp

if you have winrar, right click and extract the exe... it will give you the nbf and the flash util.
i use core pro kitchen instead of hypercore to work with roms and break them down. alternatively, you can use the wizard service tool to extract all of the *.nb files from the nbf. if you're not cooking, at least you can pull just the os.nb and flash that.
Ok. I'm new to the tilt and this is the first program i have downloaded onto the phone. I downloaded to my computer, unzipped, copied and pasted to my phone and all I have is the programing (just the O's and arrows). What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for taking the time for a beginner!
can you give details,what you did,what u are using, what u want to accomplish
you prolly copied the contents of a .cab file
cab files are to be copied to the PPC directly and distalled from there
or you might have a corrupt SD (highly unlikely)
I'm all for helping but....
Please collect your thoughts, read the forum. Learn abotu the different ways to install software to your device.
Please spend time reading the wiki.
Hint: check the stickies (posts at the top of the forums.
Hi all
got wings with wm6, and it's working fine except a problem that from time to time while using all sorts of programs the device decides to soft-reset itself.
not sure what program is causing this problem, and it might be the OS itself.
anyway I want to flash the device with other ROM's but in XDA-DEV ftp there's only the *.nbh file, and I cannot flash this file only (or at least I don't know how... )
I'd be glad if someone could point me to the RomUpdateUtility or even post an adrress here, because I've also checked to post of alcalaine and the supposed RUU there is only the *.exe file and I cannot replace the *.nbh file with the one I want.
Thanks in advance...
Tomer
It's included in a official rom.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395575
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.

Thanks for the quick replu xmoo. I've had a look there before but it's not answering any questions. I have no idea what dev environment I need nor how to do it. Am I missing something or is it just my Sunday head?
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.

Thanks for the info.
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
