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.
did u make sure to rename the file to Kovsimg.nbh?

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.

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!

So how can I return the nbh file to the RUU exe file?

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.
I'm using the x1a (n.america) and i figured in order to make a backup of my firmware i would need the NAM (canada) stock rom instead of the UK one. (correct me if i'm wrong plz). And so i found this stock rom on this site, the exact one, even my provider's name was on it, and i downloaded it but it just came as an exe file and when i run it it just extracts/installs an image file (215mb) in a folder specified by me. In the tutorials it says that i need to put the RUU_signed.nbh from the stock rom in the kovsky folder... but i don't see that file anywhere, is it the same thing as the image file installed by the exe file? Do I just rename it and proceed??? PLZ answer this if you can because i have everything else prepared to flash my phone but this is the only thing holding me back...
Yes, if you're using the RUU method rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh if you're using the SDCard method rename it to kovsimg.nbh.

You need to extract the RUU_signed bit from the image i am having the same issue and i write software for a living. Are you following the tutorial on how to back up your rom?
video guides
Im actually following BioVolt's video guides which I think u can find on this site if u search biovolt's video tutorials? they're really good and detailed but they're kinda long.
The exe contains a .img file, just rename that to kovsimg.nbh, and copy to the root directory of your memory card, and flash it.

it's not for flashing it is for doing a ROM dump in all the tutorials it does'nt tell you what clearly to do with the stock ROM once downloaded. But now i know along the same lines as your idea It just needs renaming to RUU_Signed.nbh then place this in the same folder as the 4 files you have allready extracted.
I have watched biovaults vids good but a little long for me.
I am in the same situation, and I'm totally new to flashing/backing up Rom's.
I'm also following BioVolt's Videoguides to start with but can't get hold of the Stock UK Rom.
Since I purchased my phone in sweden, unbranded I perfer to use swedish stock roms (If this even matters anyway?!).
So just to get everything straight, can I just download "Generic Sweden R3AA009 Software Update" from the sticky here in the forum, extract and rename the .image file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and use this when I'm dumping my rom or did I totally missunderstand you guys?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm just way off with this question.

The reason we use uk roms is cos they they are WWE(world wide english) and the kitchen needs this to dump the rom.
the one you end up with will be an exact copy of your stock rom.
Yes just rename the uk one
Allright, thanks alot! Really helped me out.

It's a little OT but my X1 doesn't find the kovsimg.nbh file in the storage card anymore. Why is that? I've flashed using this method for months!

Uhm, I'm not sure really.. But ensure that you put the "Kovsimg.nbh" in the root of the storage card, not in any other folder. Might be a stupid answer but you might have missed this lil' thing.
Good Luck, Anton.

Checked that...could it be a matter of storage card hardware? I had few problems writing on it through the card reader.

Might be, but you still should find the file if you successfully transefered it to the storage card...
Just to be sure, you haven't reformatted your storage card recently? It has to be in the "FAT_32" format to be flashable..
Can't really think of much else that gives you these problems..
So even if I'm using the X1a i should dump my rom with the STOCKUK rom? I read somewhere that if i flash my stock rom back on my xperia after it's been dumped using StockUK rom then my phone won't be able to connect on 3G etc.? Is there any truth to that, because im finding it impossible to dump my stock software using the NAM stock rom, kovskykitchen tells me that it cannot extract the ruu_signed.nbh

It must be uk ROM due to it being the only one that is guarenteed WWE the kicthen won't recognise anything else and when you flash back it will be whatever stock rom you currently have.
So I accidentally deleted this file. Are there any links to DL another one around here? Sorry if I put this in the wrong area...
So I found the file, tried to re-root but can't seem to find why it won't work. Then I deleted the file attempting to return to a stock state in my SD card. But when I try to use the One Click Root it has an issue with the update.zip file...

Sorry, I'm not sure what that means...
How did you go about rooting in the first place? One click root?
If so, grab the root.zip file from wherever you extracted it, stick it on your internal sd card and rename it to update.zip- and just because I'm feeling extra generous tonight, I've attached said root.zip
(This one is a couple versions old, but it should update through the market after you apply it)
hi
I have original 2.1 (eclair mod ) installed in my milestone
and i want to customize it ( change status bar, add and remove apps.......)
without installing new custom rom.
so can any help me how to do this ?
thanks in advance
i use 7-Zip to open .apk then you can edit/replace file in apk file
to change or edit .9.png file you need other program like 9patch or draw9patch to save in good format.
the main file to edit is framework-res.apk practically all theme is in that file
all system file does not need signing but all other should be sign before you put back in phone and don't forget to zipaling all file that you touch/edit.
many tutorial are available on the net on how to theme android for more in deep detail.
thanks a lot
I'll try
one more thing please

like cm6 so i can modify it ( like i want in the previous thread )

hope it help

look for unyaffs.exe
then in a cmd windows type: unyaffs system.img
thank you so much
I've done it and i hope it works
but regarding the nandroid backup there are another files like
boot,bpsw,data.img........
are these files important in making custom rom?
thanks again
Hi guys, im trying to get the HO!NO rom installed on my Milestone, but im not getting. On the main thread of the ROM, have no walktrough installation and i didn`t find anywhere else. Im too usued with normal ROM installation, as CM7 and MIUI.
Can some1 please give me some idea ? Some thread i should go ?? Searched on almost all threads in development forums and got no answer.
Thanks, hope get it soon.
Bye !
If you have used openrecovery, its very easy. Copy the HONO zip file to the /nandroid/openrecovery folder in your sdcard and use the nandroid restore all option.
The folder gets created automatically if you have created a nandroid backup earlier, else create it manually.
Wipe all if you are flashing it over another rom apart from CM7. There are many topics on using nandroid in the development thread.
Have you never used nandroid before? Also I suggest using Androidiani OR.

I will start the procedure just now. Im thinking in flash the new CM7 that was released today, and then i just install the HO!NO recovery ? In my sdcard don`t have this folder, so i have to create it ? i saw somewhere a folder named /nandroid/abdrecovery.
But as u said, i have to create a /nandroid/openrecovery.
I will try now. See what happens.
Tryed now, and created the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and put the .zip in there.
Didnt recognized when i try to recover. Should i extract ?

Yes. Extract the contents of the zip file so that you have a folder with image files inside.
Sorry abt missing it in the previous post. That's what happens when you start typing in your sleep.
Please use AOR.

Thanks, will try again.
Well, i extracted and still didnt recognized. I did this way:
/nandroid/openrecovery/ let the files on the ROOT, not in HO!NO folder. All on openrecovery root.
Are u sure that is the folder i have to create ?
Thanks again.
Hi again, i guess i made it. Instead of letting files on the root, let it on the HO!NO folder and the openrecovery recognized as a recover.
Now, the weird part is that don`t seems to be ALL working. On the HO!NO topic, the pics he posted have a THEME, and mine appears to have no theme, just a regular one.
Am i doing something wrong ? Thanks!
Guys, i still didnt make it. Flashed CM7 (wiping everythin), then installed the OH!NO! recovery. It`s working weird. I install programs, and when reboot the phone, the programs are not on the list.
I don`t know what to do.
Guess i will back to normal CM7 release.
