Can i just swap a radio image in a zip with a radio image from a firmware file? I want to put the radio.img from 5.05.651.2_modified_firmware.zip and paste it over the.img file in the 1.01.20.0515_radio.zip.
Any one??
Thank you to the46 people who at least looked at this but I guess I'll have to go to the old trial and error method...when I get to my computer I'll give it a shot and post results in case someone else is wondering if they can do the same.
I had no luck swapping out the image file..errors out...Now I know?

Hi all,

Sorry man..I don't konw what U say..
Are you clear??
Off course i'm clear, i have file without extension, it is just named as rom, but no file extension, i don't know if it is packed or what is it with...i can upload it somewhere, but if anybody can find solution...
It is maybe crypted, but don't know how...
Somebody can take a look on it...

# file -zi X1i_CZ_R2AA011
X1i_CZ_R2AA011: application/octet-stream
Seems it's a bare binary file. So it's uncompressed. Try to rename it to kovsimg.nbh, put it onto your SD-Card and try to flash your phone. If it is no compatible Image, you will get the notice "no image found".

It was the first i tryied, got "No image"...
try to rename it to X1i_CZ_R2AA011.exe and run it from pc and rename extracted file to Kovsimg.nbh and flash from your sd card
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.

There are two files in frame-work-res.apk/assets/images called android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png. These are what you play with.

I would use the one from your current rom, then put your images but keep them the same name as the ones in the zip, I think that the problem lies in the .DS_Store and the desc.txt. They are probably looking for specific images with specific names. The images need to be 320x480
tried this to no avail. replaced the images with mine in the same size and with the same names still no go. these are the images i want to use http://www.4shared.com/file/189292613/ebadfd8d/image.html if anyone could help please. would love to be able to just flash an update to any eclair rom. i am currently running the eclairxrom.
Try putting this in /system/media

Thanks for your help but still just a black screen. Can't figure out what I am missing. There has got to be something I am not doing somewhere.
So ive stumbled across something and i need a little help, does anyone know how to extract the framework res folder out of the rc29 DREAIMG.nbh file?
I came across a tool in another forum but it didnt work right...
Or could someone flash back to rc29 and adb pulll it for me? Or find someone who is root their g1 and pull it off theirs quick?

Thats the exact tool i tried but it isnt working right, just not doing it for me...im trying to fix it but anyone else have an idea?
When i try to extract the folders i type from the C:\NBH>
NBHExtract DREAIMG.nbh
and its states that DREAIMG.nbh isnt a valid nbh file could not open tempfile.dbh
I was thinking that the .nbh files from android might not work with the winmo type files and the tool...
please...i dont want to re root. ultimately if I must, I must.
Sorry Mods if posting in the wrong place. just a question......
I've Hard SPL'd my T-Mo Wing and have been trying different ROMS, problem is a couple of them after downloading are listed as a "file", for example: WP7_RUU 1st. It's not a zip file, 7z, rar, .nbh or anything else that I can unzip or open or xfer to the update utility to flash.
I've already flashed 4-5 ROMs already with no problems. I also know in some cases you can "change the file type". Is this an SD install file ? Bad download ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone steer me in the right direction ? Thanks....
