[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

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.

Froyo update.zip

Does anyone have the captivate froyo that was leaked in update.zip form? I have a mac so I have to use clockwork not Odin.
Thanks,
Tyler

Sure, just rename any of the roms to update.zip . And there you go.

Problem is I cant seem to find a rom that isn't a Odin .exe

senior member and that's the advice you give?
First off, this isn't a development based question... and second.. you cannot just take a rom and rename it to update.zip and flash it successfully via stock 2e recovery.
Most roms on this forum are in a .zip format. However you will need to apply through rom manager/clockwork recovery. Any rom OP will have FAQ's and thorough instructions. So I advise that you read, read, read, read and then flash!

This is what I use:
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/index.html
There are plenty of others in .zip format. You technically don't have to rename anything. Just choose it inside of clockwork. And also, I probably wouldn't change the name to update.zip because that is what the Clockwork recovery software is labeled as.

I'm pretty sure any of the current roms such as cog are able to be renamed to update.zip via astro file manager. I'm currently running Geo which can be renamed to update.zip

[Q] Installing custom roms

Hi,
I'm trying to install custom roms on my Milestone and have hit a brick wall.
I've looked at and followed the Instructions threads (rooted & did a nandroid backup) and they refer to having to apply an "update.zip" file in Open Recovery to actually get the cutom rom. Problem is that I've downloaded both CM7 and Miui rom files but when I unzip them they don't have an update.zip file in them.
They just have the following
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img (img file)
Question is... How do I flash these files to apply the custom rom?
(Can't ask questions in the development part of the forum as I don't have 10 posts yet)
Thanks

anyone?

well, just know it from xrecovery (come from the x10 mini pro) and AFAIK the zip you extracted already was the update.zip - rename downloaded zipfile to update.zip, then flash it

k thanks dude.

the file does not need to be called update.zip. it is a generic term for the format of "update"
simply put the CM7 zip file in the openrecovery\updates folder subfolder of your sdcard.
you should then be able to see the file in the update menu of your recovery.

I downloaded the second one but how can I use it?

Extract the .ext4 extension from the tar files and then mount it in ext2explore

So I will take the data.ext4.tar.a, data.ext4.tar.b and I will extract them with 7zip and the files I will get I will paste them at the ext2explore?

Just open up the .tar.a (Or whichever) with 7 zip
You can extract the files directly from that
Try it.
