i can flash all nbh files.. but some of u chefs make 7z files. how do u flash these
You don't.
.7z is a compressed archive, like a .zip or .rar. You need to unpack it on your PC, and the .nbh is inside.
If you have WinZip or WinRAR on your PC, they should automatically open the archive when you click on it. If you don't have one of those, then look for a free .7z utility. I don't use any free ones, so I can't see which one is the best.
As already mentioned it's a compressed archive

Hello,
I would like to follow the procedure for customizing the splash screen as described here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen
At first, I didn't know where to get the program ROMUpgradeUt.exe, then I found (quite difficultly - sometimes the obvious for one is so obfuscated for the other one) that is contained in any ROM image. And that any ROM image is an archive. Well, I downloaded 2 Dopod ROM images, renamed them from .exe into .zip (and .rar) , but neither WinZIP, nor WinRAR is able to open the archive.
I remember doing it, could you please help with this issue ?
If you have any other advice on how to customize the splash screen(s), I would be very grateful.
Thank you all.
Please, could somebody help me with this ?
It is not clear what you want!
You should not be renaming any .exe files to .zip or .rar.
Try right clicking on the .exe file (dopod rom downloaded) and if you have winzip installed you will have a winzip menu in the context sensitive menu. - Choose Extract to - and extract the contents of the .exe to a folder.
You also will have extract to as an option on your right click menu if you have 7-zip (free) installed.
Once you extract the ROM you will have all the ROM and upgrade files. You can Now delete the .nbh file (the ROM) and replace it with the splash ROM .nbh file that you created using the instructions that you are following. (Use the same file name to be sure).
Now use the RUUtility.exe to flash your splash
Hi, thanks for the reply. I remember that last time I did the same operation I had to rename the file. I might be wrong. Anyhow, I'll try to do as you said.
Thanks again.
All the cooked roms end with .rar. After I downlod the cooked rom (bepe) the file ends with rar. According to the trinity giude it should have ended with zip so that I would be able to extract the files (see section 4, upgrade rom - Open the folder where you unzipped the files and click on ‘ROMUpdateUtility.exe’). However, there is no exe file but only rar. How do I upgrade then? I m a beginner in this and I need your help!!!!!
Download WinRAR and extract the Files.
RAR is like ZIP only other compression
thanks a lot!

Why do i get a .tar file instead of a .img file when unzipping tar.gz files
I've tried winraw and bitzipper run as admin or not
The files I'm trying to unzip are these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
I've been browsing these forums all day trying to find someone thats had the same problem, guess I'm out of my league here
Thanks in advance
*.tar.gz files are. Zipped (the .gz) and Tar'd so it's a 2 step process.
Basically TAR is a grouping of the files and GZ is the compression.
Check out 7-zip:
http://www.7-zip.org/
Un-Gzip the file you have a *.tar file. Un-Tar the file and you have all the files.
YES! Thanks
I had tried to winrar and bitzipper them twice but the file was useless
But with 7-zip Ive got a img. file, seems like all the instructions I've been following said uncompress but I guess the assume that you know to do both
Now I can get on with my next nightmare getting this NC back to stock
Thank you

What error are you getting, maybe you need to download the ROM again as it's become corrupted when you downloaded it the first time.
If using 7zip you'll need to extract it twice. The first time uncompresses the file, after which you should have a single file. Sometimes this file won't have a file extension, so in this case rename it and add .tar on to the end. This is now an uncompressed archive file, so open it up in 7zip and extract the contents. After this you should have a folder containing some .bat files and another folder which contains a lot of image files. It is this top level folder you need to select in the Mi Flash Tool.
