How to obtain "Default.reg" for 4.01.16

Hi,
I am looking for a "Default.reg" and "initobj.txt" for the new t-mobilr ROM version.
Are they available somewhere. How do i go about creating them.
I want to build my own customer ROM.
Thanks for any help.

Just do following:
Please extract default.fdf, initobj.dat, initdb.ini from this romimage on a windows machine, by running 'mkdir romfile & dumprom cfg\\rom.nb1 -d romfiles'
and convert them with the following shell commands
'perl fdf2reg.pl default.fdf cfg/default.reg'
'tr -d "\0" <initobj.dat >cfg/initobj.txt'
'cp initdb.ini cfg/initdb.ini'
HTH
Stefan

Thanks LumpiStefan
I created the default.reg using your suggestion. I somehow got a very small file (26k) compared to the one in the mkrom distribution. Does that look right ?

ppc2003 has the registry init files split over the main file: default.fdf
and several unicode files named 'mxip_XXXXX.rgu'
that is why it is smaller.

Cooking rom from a .bin RomFile

Hello my friends !
I search how cooking rom from a bin file of 32M !
I know how do it from a nbh file or nb file, but i don't knwo how to do from a bin file !
Which tool using ?
Great Thanks !!!!

you need imgfstools2 to extract the bin / recreate a nbh

Thanks for you fast answer !
So i will re-tets with imgfs2rc2, but i think that i don't function
I re-test !!!

from the readme
ReadMe said:
On a high level, this is the chain of actions needed to unpack OS.nb:
RUU-signed.nbh ---(*NBHExtract)---> OS.nb ---(NBSplit)---> OS.nb.payload -->
--(ImgfsFromNb)---> imgfs.bin ---(ImgfsToDump)---> 'dump' directory
Here you'll edit the 'dump' directory. I recommend using bepe's excellent *Package Tool for this.
The reverse process is:
'dump' directory ---(ImgfsFromDump)---> imgfs-new.bin ---(ImgfsToNb)--->
OS-new.nb.payload ---(NBMerge)---> OS-new.nb ---(*NBHGen)--->
RUU-signed-new.nbh
(The tools marked with '*' are not part of the ImgfsTools, but are also available for free from xda-developers.com. There is also one additional tool, NBInfo, in this package.)

Get winrar or something, right click on the exe and click extract here?

Click to expand...

thats not the way for Omnia's ROM
the procedure is as follows:
1. check out this post.
2. after step 5, download this and use viewbin.exe to find out the start offset and length of imgfs.
3. use cvrtbin -r -a (start offset, don't use '0x' prefix) -l (length of imgfs, don't use '0x' prefix) -w 32 xxx.bin
4. after this u will get an nb0 file. use nbsplit with -kaiser switch on the nb0 to get xx.nb0.payload
5. use prepare_imgfs.exe xxx.nb0.payload -nosplit
6. use view_imgfs.exe or imgfstodump.exe to get the 'dump' folder.

Yes, you can't open the file with winrar or zip.
Its not just a self extractin file.
It doesn't create temp files, too.

B000FF is in ASCII (text). search again, it must be there 3 times

OK now i found it but i don't understand part 3 of the manual.
The string 0x060000EA3B is in Hex 30 78 30 36 30 30 30 30 45 41 33 42, right?
But i can't find it.

Great! it works for me. In my case I had an img file (I presume that some one extracted from exe). If you run GrandPrix flahs utility and load this .img file you get a _xip0.nb0 that can be used as xxx.bin as stated above.
btw, how can we extract xip? Failed to extract with dumprom/rommaster the payload file generated in step 5...

hey guys,
no luck with the above procedure.
i Made a bin file starting at B000FF and finish after the 12 "00" before
060000EA3B .
But cvrtbin gives the error "Could not allocate memory for raw data"
Please Help

thats the only procedure which should work for u. just follow/read everything carefully and also make sure u downloaded the cvrtbin.exe from the link that i gave (msvcr80.dll should also be there).

Thanks for your answer, i made the mistake that i just cut the unneeded lines and save it as an other filename. When i copy the lines in a new file it workes

How to backup an original ROM

Hello FHM and the rest of the board members,
Could you please help me to backup my original ROM? It is a Swisscom version of S740. Maybe I need it later again... or others are interested in.
Regards
Semmelknoedel

Hey,
I have the HTC Rose from Swisscom too, please tell me if you manage to backup the rom and flash the 6.5 rom.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sadly I can't help you with your question as I'm interested in doing it too... sorry...

need a little more help
Hi ceesheim,
Posting the necessary links was very helpful for me. I was able to dump the ROM from my SwissCom S740. Now I have got the 4 RAW files.
I'm following the instruction written by dj13241. Now i faced a problem on step: "rebuild a flashable ROM from a dump" at topic 3 (Insert XIP (Part01.raw) into new-os.nb.payload). As I executed the command for the first time cmd was asking for admin-rights. OK. I have opened cmd as admin. Now I have inserted the command: implantxip Part01.raw new-os.nb.payload
An Error was shown in cmd "xip file not specified". What did I wrong? Please see also the attached snapshot.
Thanks in advance.
Semmelknoedel

First rename part01.raw to xip.bin.
Then the correct command is:
insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod

Thanks FHM for answering. But it doesn't work. I'm using a insertxip.bat copied from "new_visualkitchen_v_1_8_1_only_exe_+_Tools_folder".
Content of this bat-file:
@echo off
rem echo Processing "%1"
implantxip -xip XIP_new_ported\xip.bin -payload ..\ROM\%1\OS.nb.payload
after execution of the command you mentiond in thread before, I get this error message:
Implantxip & Payload Resizer v. 1.1 by ervius!!!
PAYLOAD: ..\ROM\-xip\OS.nb.payload not found!
XIP not Inserted!
Based on the bat-file I have inserted the folder "XIP_new_ported" and "ROM->-xip".
Where is the mistake I made?

Hi Weezphili,
here are the addresses you need:
Swisscom ROM for the Rose:
3.12M (0x31f000) Part00
3.25M (0x340000) Part01
80.38M (0x5060000) Part02

did you do this ?
"Extract XIP (Part00 and Part01 ... You will need bepe's dumpxip.exe from ervius visual kitchen):
1) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part00.raw
2) Rename XIP folder to XIP_00 (ren XIP XIP_00)
3) Make sure there is not an XIP folder (if so, rename it) and run dumpxip Part01.raw
4) Rename XIP folder to XIP_01 (ren XIP XIP_01)"

You don't need to dump the part01.raw. It's the XIP, all you need to is to rename it to xip.bin!
Put the xip.bin and the os.nb.payload (or whatever the name is you have) in the same folder as implantxip.exe!
Open an elevated CMD (Windows key + R then type in cmd) switch to the folder with the exe, bin and payload file with:
cd C:\yourfolder
then type in what I wrote above! Done

This is done, but another question: you command is "insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod" but there are xip.bin and the os.nb.payload and implantxip.exe and insertxip.bat in that folder. After execution of your command the same error like before:
Implantxip & Payload Resizer v. 1.1 by ervius!!!
XIP: XIP_new_ported\xip.bin not found!
XIP not Inserted!
E:\Test>
mmh... strange!

Don't use the bat any more. Just use my command, it's the same thing, it just works
Otherwise upload the the files (raws) and I'll do it for you!

You are right, the problem is the bat-file. But I couldn't find a insertxip.exe
Do you have one for me?

Uuuuups did I wrote insertxip?? My bad. I meant implantxip
Sorry

And also at the end of the command insertxip -xip xip.bin -payload new-os.nb.paylod -> the "a" is missing
Now it works with this command:
implantxip -xip xip.bin -payload os.nb.payload
Thanks for your help. I'm going to go the next steps...

Problems with final steps
As described in dj13241's thread the final steps are:
- Merge os-new.nb.payload into os-new.nb (nbmerge -kaiser os-new.nb)
- Create os-new.nbh nbhutil, Select "Touch_Pro2" under "Target Device", change RHOD*** to RHOD500, click the ... box next to OS, and select new-os.nb, click Build NBH and select where to save NBH file.
... I don't want build a ROM for Touch Pro 2 What do I have to select in the dropdown list or shall I use FHM's Vox Rose Kitchen 2.0?
Thanks for you help.

Yes, lol my fault again. That happens when I use my laptop keyboard, I mistype a lot...

Get the TOOLs part of my kitchen then in the tools folder open the HTC ROM Tool (htcrt.exe) choose the Diamond and change DIAM***** to ROSE1000 under OS select your os-new.nb and click on build to make a nbh that you can flash.
EDIT: nbmerge -kaiser os-new.nb is the right step

Click to expand...

But there is no os-new.nb. If you read the dj13241's thread and you are looking for os-new.nb you only find it at the end of his instruction. So I guess that it is the os.nb i have extracted with command nbhextract RUU_Signed.nbh
By the way: the RUU_Signed.nbh I use is from Blackstone.. is this ok or not?

HTC ROM Tool (htcrt.exe)
FHM, what can you tell me about the SPL, Splash and Radio contents? Will this not be part of my original ROM I try to build? I think a Radio is necessary, do I also have to dump it from Rose?
...a lot of work. Thank god it's holiday...

you made only the rom ( no spl , radio , splash ) .
if you flash your new build rom you keep your old splash and your old radio (they are still on the phone ).
no need to dump them .
only when you flash a new radio or splash you could dump the old first .

[PROBLEM] How to convert an extracted OS.nb to an original ROM with nb0 extention

My Device is: I-teq X-bond equal to (Gigabyte gsmart-i64)
Its original OS is WM5 2.3 with original NB0 extention and Here is the official ROM link:
http://www.gigabytecm.com/eng/Downlo...=17&tabIndex=3
I can extract OS.NB from original file but the problem is that I do not know how to Repack and convert new OS.NB to a proper .NB0 file.
So I need your help

My Thread seems to be dead but still I did not find the answer

I google searched about the problem and I found a tool in Modaco, o2util.exe but I do not know that is a proper tool for my goal or not

Nobody here can help me?!!!

At least try to post a working link, as I can't find gsmart-i64 on gigabytecm.com or it's just gsmart-i?

OK Thank you very much for your reply, you are right gsmart-i is equal to gsmart-i64, so you can go ahead with it.

I already did that, but to download a ROM file I must to sign-up and IMEI is required, so I can't download ROM.
Can you upload it somewhere, like 4shared.com or Megaupload.com?

Received your PM, downloding file now.

So step by step:
Take shippend ROM and prepare it for kitchen:
Code:
osnbtool -sp ROM.nb0
you will get two files ROM.nb0.PRE and ROM.nb0.OS.NB
ROM.nb0.OS.NB is OS.nb file you need to use on your kitchen.
After you have done ROM building with kitchen you should get OS.nb file.
Now use osnbtool to insert extra data:
Code:
osnbtool -extra OS.nb
You will get file OS.nb.EXA and now you need to make ROM.nb0 file:
Code:
copy /B ROM.nb0.PRE+OS.nb.EXA NEW_ROM.nb0
I hope this works

Thank you very much for your complete info, These days I'm on vacation.
As soon as possible I'll check the process, but I should say that the very first step for me is to convert back generated OS.nb by osnbtool to newrom.nb0 and check the file with original ROM. however I will let u know my progress and thank u again for your time and help.

Thank u for your detail described process. I followed instruction and generated NEW_ROM.nb0 with generated OS.NB from the first step, but the volume of NEW_ROM.nb0 is different from original ROM.nb0, would u please tell me this is normal or I did something wrong or the generated NEW_ROM.nb0 is usable.

My problem is still persist and I can not reconvert extracted OS.nb to original ROM with nb0 extention

The most famous forum for WM is here, but still my problem has not solved.
Please somebody help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used osnbtool to extract os.nb from original rom with nb0 extention. but the problem is I can not use osnbtool to use os.nb and generate rom with nb0 extention.
My request here is that is there any other tools that I can figure out my problem or because creator of osnbtool.exe is a chinese guy-WEISUN-, need someone chinese to ask my problem from Weisun.
thank u for your consideration and help

Still no progress?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are many chefs but no one can help.
As I know XDA forum is the best forum for WM but it seems that they do not consider any other devices except HTCs.
