Backing up carrierdb.pxp...

Seeing as my hopes were dashed yet again today for the release of the AT&T WM6 ROM I've decided to bite the bullet and load the ROW ROM and be done with it. I just want to make sure that I can back up the carrierdb.pxp file so that I can restore the auto settings once I have WM6 up and running. I understand that this file is in the EXT ROM but the EXT ROM unlocker floating around seems to be for WM6 only.
If I am mistaken in my information please feel free to correct me on this. Just want to make sure I will have all features enabled when I am finished.
Thanks in advance,
David

Am I really barking up the wrong tree here?
Could some perhaps just send me/post the carrierdb.pxp from the leaked AT&T ROM?

Thanks for the link, but I already have the leaked ROM. If I could extract the files from the 04_ExtROM.nb file I'd be set. From all the my reading this does not appear to be possible without loading the ROM. Would prefer to just load the ROW ROM instead of going with the leaked AT&T ROM first. All I'd really like is a carrierdb.pxp file for AT&T. I see that someone did post the extracted ExtROM but it contains and extracted carrierdb.pxp, not the packed file. Any way to repack this or just a hint on what to do with the extracted files?
Edit: I see that the pxp files can be extracted as zips.....any chance they can be just rezipped and have the extension changed? Any particular settings that need to be used if it is possible?

Further to this, can we add another carrier in the pxp file? And can we modify the pze file?
The reason why I ask, is Fido merged with Rogers and my Treo 750 shows roaming as there is no GSM network for Fido in the pxp file. (i.e. 302-37)

Okay, I have been running the ATT WM6 leaked version for some time and recently unlocked my device and upgraded to the 2.23 ROW from Palm. Here is what I would recommend you do:
1. Upgrade your device to the ATTWM6 version first.
2. Follow instructions on this site (use the search in this forum) to "mount" the extended ROM. From there you can copy/backup the carrierdb file to your local PC.
3. Unlock your device.
4. Install 2.23 ROW.
5. Re-mount the extended rom and backup the new carrierdb file from the new rom
6. Copy back the carrierdb file from your hard drive obtained from the leaked ATT WM6 install.
Simple - if you know how to do all these things. You WILL have to spend time reading/researching on this forum to learn how to do each step, but this is the process from a macro level.

You betcha. They *are* zip compressed files with a different filename extension. Use the winrar defaults to create.

Problem is the leaked ATT and T rom doesn't have the Fido GSM network in there!

[Help] please some can convert stok rom into nbh for me?

Hi I lost USB connection with my Blackstone and I can’t flash any ROMs or install HSPL so I can flash from SD card. I try the forum is there any way to hard SPL from SD card or is there any solution to fix USB connection problem? (which after searching the forum I found out there isn’t) so only solution remains send it to repair. But I have a cooked ROM with stock SPL installed; please someone can convert my stock ROM into nbh format so I can flash it from the SD card or teach me how to from stock exe file into nbh remember I can’t dump the rom.
Please help thank a lot.

You can extract the ruu_signed.nbh out of the shipped exe.

You don't need to dump any rom!
Just open the stok/shipped rom with winrar: click with right button on shipped rom and choose open with winrar.
When winrar is open you just estract the ruu_signed.nbh file where you want and rename it into BLACIMG.nhb, put into your sd card and flash!
PS. sd card is must formated into Fat32 to perform flash!

Thanks to your quick response i will try it right away. thanks again
I let you guys know what happen

Thanks a million for your help yes I able to install stock rom back from a SD card know i can send it for repair.
Thank you very much I really appreciate you help

Great, I'm happy that you've success!

Just make sure the nbh file is in the same folder as the RUU exe and it will pick it up when you run the RUU.

Image file not found, help please!

Hello people.
I have minor problem over here, I have flased my rom before but in a different way Through the xperia x1 phone with the usb cable in, all I had to do was to install a file through the pc.
But there is another way Id like to do it now, I have a .image file and have renamed it to "kovsimg.image" and I did also install HARD_SPL before.
To make it easier for u to help me.
1. Install hard spl
2. put the kovsimg.image into the memory card
5. Remoed the USB cable
3. turned of the phone
4. Pressed down lower sound and on/off button together (I got to the correct place where there are different colors.
5. Image file not found!
At nr 5., that is where the problem is. Why does it say Image file not found?
I have also tried with .nbh file 2, occuring the same problem though.
Thanks!

The filename should be "kovsimg.nbh"

But in another thread that is sticky, said that it can both me .nbh and .image
So the fact that was said is wrong I guess?
Well that will not either fix the problem, before the .image I tried with a kovsimg.nbh file and had the same problem.
Thanks

Make sure the filesize is the same so you have copied the all of the file "kovsimg.nbh"
happens to me sometimes that there is missing a few megabytes and the phone dont find a image..

Im sorry but how exactly do you mean?
If you mean that the "whole" file maybe didnt get copied into the mem card?
It thats what u mean, I just checked it and both files are 213mb so :S

Check the spelling "kovsimg.nbh" and copy the file from the computer again

You only hard_spl ones, you can make so many flashings you want but remember to do a hardreset after flashing..

did u try to search the forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469300

boy, you really haven't read the stickys or haven't understand them fully...
just be glad that this flash-process is pretty stable and it's almost impossible to brick one's phone beyond revival.
read them again!
but to summarize it:
- you only have to do hard-spl once. until you flash stock-spl (that's not stock-rom!) it remains there forever.
- regardless if flashing via usb or microsd, the filetype has to be .nbh
- looks to me as if you didn't change the filetype of the image, but just the filename. so it actually is "kovsimg.nbh.image" right now, which will not be accepted by bootloader (the tricolor-screen-thingy).
check these two things before flashing again:
1. check if hard-spl was successfull:
take your sd-card out, and enter bootloader. it will now stay on tricolor screen. there it should read "SPL-0.72.OliNex". (among other stuff)
if it reads "SPL-0.72.0000" or "78" you haven't succeeded in hard-spl -> read the sticky again.
2. check the filetype of your image-file:
get your windows to show filetypes (how depends on which version, google it) and make sure the file's name is really just "kovsimg.nbh", nothing more.
(via usb-cabel it has to be "ruu_signed.nbh", btw)
put the kovsimg back on your sd-card (directly to root, meaning not into a folder), put it back in and enter bootloader again. follow the instructions on screen.
if you followed these instructions correctly, it will work now.
to flash any other roms in the future you just have to name the file right and put it on your sd-card -> bootloader. (again, hard-spl will not be needed.)
after flashing finished do a hard-reset! when flashing via sd you have to take the battery out and back in to do a restart. that's the perfect moment:
- take battery out
- put it back in
- press and hold (!) the two silver-buttons under the screen
- press the power-button shortly (while still holding the two silver ones!)
- phone will vibrate and enter a white screen
- release the two buttons and follow instructions on screen

When you downloaded the ROM did you make sure to extract it first with either WinZIP or WinRAR before you renamed the file? ALL ROMs are compressed usually with WinRAR to save time uploading. Then you download and extract the file. Then you rename the image file to the respective name on how you wish to flash your phone.

Thanks for the replies but the problem is still here :/
I checked the bootloader and it said "SPL-0.72.OliNex", which means I have installed the HARD_SPL correctly.
Atm I have Energys rom installed, but I didnt install it the same way as this way I am trying to do now. I just had to have the cable checked in and follow an installation and it was done.
Right now I have tried with several roms but none has worked, for the moment I am trying to get this rom to work "Valkyrie_v3.8 FireStorm" without success ofcourse..
I did everything correct, I know that I have. I also followed a video guide to check I made it correct.
The file name is kovsimg.nbh (Ive checked it and it is a .nbh file, my brother also confirmed it).
When I try to flash it, the USB cable is out, the phone is shut (tried to pull out the battery 2), but still the same problem "No image file!".
And yes, I did first extract the file. The size has the same amount as in the winrar file so nothing is missin. After that I changed the file name and copied it into the root of Memory card.
PS. Is this the only way to flash it, I mean is it not possible to do the same way as I did with energy's? (Its the same way as installin HARD_SPL)

Try using a different SD card.

Befor this make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 using a PC. If not, it will not work.

or you could just do it the same way as the energyrom
i.e. customRUU.exe

well, sounds like it's your sd-card. probably formating it again with fat32 will help. there are also reports of some sd-models/brands not working at all. there's a thread for this by gtrab, i think. although there it says "kingston" cards don't work at all - i'm flashing with a kingston 8gb for almost a year now... ^^)
if you choose to get customruu.exe for usb-flash DON'T use the one from hard-spl, that's a special one.

try remove SD card and flash without PC

The SD-cards format is Fat32, but I used a different way this time by doing as Jonny~ mentioned and it worked all fine!
Thanks for the help, great service.
Take care and wish me luck in the future with my xperia

Help: Created backup of original ROM can't flash back

I created a backup of my original ROM using the tutorial and I've placed the created nbh file in the root of my storage card and went to the bootloader only to get, "No image found!" If anyone could help please or point me in the direction of a stock xperia 1i rom I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Drake I'll try those and I did rename it Beneficial thanks.
I'd like to say I got two files and the one I didn't try was in the rom folder in kovskykitchen but it's just a .nb file could I have used the wrong file? Thanks again.

My Top screen of my phone literally just slide off the bottom, So I need to send it back in to get a new one, But my charging port wont let my phone sync with my computer for some reason. So can someone please convert this new ROM from http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/ so I can flash it with my SD card and return it soon!

All You Have To Do Is Download The Rom From The Url You Posted Then When You Have It On Your Computer Right Click On It & Select Extract Files Then Open The Folder That Gets Extracted & Find RUU_signed.nbh & Rename It RHODIMG.nbh Then Put It On Your Storage Card & Flash & You Should Be Good To Go
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
I Hope This Helps!!!

if your sending it back to your service provider they dont really check the rom they focus the issue and the flash it back to there settibg. my friend and i have done it without the stock rom

Rlly? cause I was told if any software is found on the phone when its sent back,ill be charged for a full price?

If you are on AT&T, you have to restore the stock ROM or you will be charged. You also need to restore the SPL.

Problem
I flashed abck to default stock rom some time agon and they voided my warranty just because id didnt return to stock spl. They are full of nonsense over here

i have done numbers of returns of from tilt 1 too the fuze and the tilt 2 for warranty exchange and never had a problem but if u feel confortable follow the steps from the previous post to conver the file over just extract the file and then convert the name over to rhodimg for the nbh filr and put to ur main root of the sd card and flash it that way it will install the stock rom

Think i got it!

Just let us know when you need help with flashing back to stock rom btw with the stock rom that was just updated for the AT&T with sense it has a lot of problems so you may want to flash it as soon as you get the replacement.

Just make sure to flash stock rom and respl your phone if you hgarsled it. coz spl voids the warranty.
it doesn't matter how many softwares you have on your phone when i sent my phone i had spbmobile shell installed on it plus nitrogen core player and all the crap so it doesn't really make any difference.
my phone had a little crack near usb and when they asked me i said nothing is wrong with it there is not even a small scratch on my phone
