As i only can flash my device trough the SD card
i can't find any 1.72.181
. nb1 romimage for SD-cards.
I would appriciate i sombody could help me where to find it...
sorry for my poor english..
sorry to ask, but where can i read the method of sd flashing an XDAII?
Or can you explain plz ?
see the following link:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93
Comment on this link.
To get the wrigth formation on the SD card is to Download the "old OS"
to the card and then to put the new os on top of that. This will assure you to have the rigth format, to make XDa "booth up" (not mention make and keep a back up of the old OS just in case...)
Seems due that its hard to find a nb1 image file on the latest O2 release...
is it just the nbf file you need i can post it if u need it

i have the obnocius v0.23 bootloader that wont take anything less than complete nb1 image file. i have tried like nk.nbf upgrade but it wont catch. may be i should edit the sd card at 0x00000000. the rom.nb1 starts with HIMMALAYA at this address. the nbf's with something else. what do think?

Hi,
this is very interesting, I've been trying to create a bootable sd card using the latest Oz rom. However there is not much clear info. How can I get ms_.nbf, NK.nbf. Radio_.nbf on an sd card? what are the exact offsets, do I need to decrypt the files first, etc. I tried the [reverse] method described here --> HimalayaHowtoCopyRom just to check, yet the eventual Radio_.nbf file is much smaller than the size of the original Radio_.nbf file installed on the himalaya. I'd appreciate if someone could give us detailed procedure to create an sdcard from the nbfs.
thanks...

In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
- format a SD card with FAT32
- extract the .NBH file from the rom image you like
- rename the .NBH to HERMIMG.NBH and copy it to your SD card
- put SD card in phone and start it in bootloader (hold OK button on left side and POWER button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom)
- confirm flashing on screen
- flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes.
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.
John
P.S. Same applies to other devices: BREEIMG.NBH, STARIMG.NBH, ...
Re: Solution for flashing HERMES preproduction devices found
Hi J.S.!
This is a very great finding!! How did you find that???

Preproduction devices are superCID, so they should be able to flash any image using that method.

I guess BREEIMG is for HTC Breeze and STARIMG for HTC Startrk, right?
Holy Sweet Jiminy Cristmas, OK, now this is what mine is doing so far, (which is further than any thing else we have done)
Sitting at Checking..., and has been for around 10 minutes or so now
Will keep you updated, hey anyone able to get access to the holy grail of HTC support site?
Excellent news!
I just need to get my hands on a micro SD card and I'll give it a whirl!
Thanks again, buddy.
I'll let you all know how I get along.
Oz
So how long did your screen stay with the Checking..., as I am now on my 4th IMG to try, and all have taken over 10mins each while on the checking.
I need some slepp so this one i will let run while i sleep.
Any way of changing the CID, as mine is not preproduction.

No known method yet...
But you have a TyTN as I have seen in your other post, so you can flash the HERMIMG.nbh from HTC TyTN rom which will match your CID.
OK, but how can I know my CID, and which one to choose.

The bootloader command "info 2" returns your CID, on a TyTN that is:
"HTCS" + "QTEK_001" + (4-byte checksum) + "HTCE"
You can also find it by running GetDeviceData.exe.
These are the ROMs an it's CID lock:
HTC: QTEK_001
Dopod: DOPOD001
JasJam: CDL__001
Cingular: CWS__001
O2: O2___102

Hi Guys, At this point is it possible to get an .NBH file from a .RAW file and so flash back to my original shipped ROM?
wwaveydave: It is not possible, see my answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62730
The Hermes SPL searches for two files on SD card, one is HERMIMG.nbh as pointed out by J.S. on this topic, the other one is HERMDIAG.nbh.
Anyone knows about what is HERMDIAG? looking at the name seems some kind of DIAGnostic SD card... :?
I've been told by itsme that HTC StarTrek supports 2 ways of sd-card flashing:
1) with 'starimg.nbh' on a fat32 filesystem (same as in hermes, but using hermimg.nbh instead)
2) with a typhoonnbfdecode.pl generated sdcard
I've tried to generate a cooked rom for TyTN using typhoonnbfdecode.pl, but the .nb files extracted using nbh2dbh.pl and dbhdecode.pl are not valid, it seems that typhoonnbfdecode.pl expects the .nb files to be decoded as sd header image (using flag "-i" of typhoonnbfdecode.pl itself), but this tool is not useful to handle NBH files.
Also trying to make a NBF file with typhoonnbfdecode.pl out of .nb files extracted from original shiped NBH file gives an image validation error on each module specified in ' -r '.
Any help will be much appreciated!
hermdiag.nbh is a diagnostic/setup/lock/unlock SPL image.
buzz
If you compare the NBF file you've created to the NHB file pulled from one of the shipped ROMs will that help? I'd like to help, but need time to get up to speed on the whole ROM cooking process.
The problem is that I cannot even create the NBF... I get a validation error in every module, like if all the .nb files where invalid:
- no sm signature at 0 in Splash
- no 7 * jump +5 at start of gsm
- no ECEC at 0x40 in OS image
- no IPL at 4 in IPL image
- no ECEC at 0x0040 in SPL image
any ideas?
Right guys,
I've tried the method outlined in the originating post but it doesn't seem to work for me on my Preproduction Hermes. This is what happens:
1) Format 1GB Micro SD card to FAT32 via Windows (right click and select Format).
2) Extract .nbh file from ROM image.
3) Rename .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy to SD card.
4) Put SD card in phone and start in bootloader (as specified)
5) The screen goes white for a second and then an error message pops briefly (about a millisecond! I had to do about 20 times before I could be sure about what it said). The error message was "No Image file!"
6) Reverts back to bootloader.
Have tried this with all of the English ROMs listed on the Wiki and get the same result each time. I'm not connected to the PC during all of this. The only file that exists on the SD card is the HERMIMG.NBH (exactly that naming format).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Oz
ok, follow these instructions:
1) Use the "Explore" option on activesync
2) Erase all the files in storage card
3) Copy HERMIMG.nbh
4) Enter into bootloader
No need to remove the microSD card from your device at all... this is how it worked for me.
No such luck for me I'm afraid. I still get the same error. I don't understand it, what is this Image file it's looking for? Is there anyway of determining it?
@pof - is your Hermes preproduction?
I've tried a smaller SD card of 128MB and renamed the file to HERMIMG.NBH but still no luck. I don't know if it's my phone or if preproduction phones except the filename to be different.
Is a .nbh file an image file?
mine is not preproduction, it's an HTC TyTN (HERM200). My microSD card is 1Gb.
I renamed the .nbh file extracted from the rom upgrade exe to "HERMIMG.nbh", I don't know if it's case sensitive or not. It worked for me this way...
And yes, nbh files are rom upgrade files which contain all the rom parts (splash image, radio, ipl, spl, etc...) and are signed by HTC.
Hi,
have got m3100 which is stuck on the winodws mobile screen...so tried everything frm the wiki page and now want to try flash it thru the sd card.
I have got 512mb MicroSD ...
can someone pls explain me abt the root folder...i just copied the HERMIMG.nbh onto the sdcard and the screen wont go beyond "checking".
i dont knw abt the Root folder...how shall i create it? if anybody can help me pls
thx in advance!

The root folder means the folder which "holds" all other folders: If your microSD card is on "F:", the root folder of your microSD card is "F:\".
It is on the instructions to make sure you don't copy the NBH file in "F:\My Documents\".
The card has to be formatted in fat32 and empty: should only contain HERMIMG.nbh in the root folder
The NBH image must match the CID on your device: You have a M3100 and there's no shipped rom with "ORANG001" CID, most probably your problem is this.
Hi pof...thanks for ya explaination.
if there is no shipped rom..does that mean..the HERMIMG.nbh file i got frm wiki...it wont work?
thanks agn
P.S. yes...i downloaded the Orange one frm wiki...if that doesnt come with ROM...can i flash it with the Radio ROM u supplied for the unlock? rename it HERMIMG.nbh
M3100 from Orange UK has CID: ORANG001
The rom on the wiki is from Orange Romania and has CID: ORANG008
You need to use a NBH file with the same CID on your device.
You can make your device SuperCID to avoid this restriction:

cool! glad it's back to live
Credits for finding/pointing to this solutution go to AirwolfUK.
This is also hidden somewhere in a thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread. We (G4 owners) don't need to flash all our roms in Italian language. In stead of copying all the Update Utility files just copy "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and it will stay in English.
So if you get this error on you're G4:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Just replace the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"! (I'll attach it too)
If you want to turn an already Italian installer into English replace all the files from "English Update Utility Files G4.zip".
Great! Thanks a lot for these! Hepled me a lot
Guess it should be a sticky, as not many people know where to find these things.
I've tried ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe but keep getting
"Error 208: File Open.
The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update utility".
Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?
maybe you're not with the utility and the nk.nbf in the same folder(all in the root of the folder).
Thank you so much...this just saved my otherwise bricked phone!
thx worked perfect in flashing the radio rom on my g4 to 2.19 uk!
I can't figure out how to upgrade my rom. I keep getting the dreaded Error 300.
Can somebody provide instructions on how to run this?
How?
How do I do this?
What should I replace?
Where should I put the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" file?
I just normally run the updateroom from a folder on my laptop, so where should I place "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"?
I am attemping to flash Superrom

If the rom is one exe file, unpack it first with winrar. You'll see the file afterwards.
Yes I knows it becomes a exe file after I have zipped it.
Ok here it goes:
I run a normal ROM update exe file, I get the
"ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility"
Then what shall I do with the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe " if I just run this one the message: ""Error 208: File Open."
Can someone set up a step by step guide please?
Seems you haven't upacked the rom executable. You should have multiple files afterwards (e.g. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and nk.nbf). Just replace the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe! The file error tells it can't find your nk.nbf.
Damnnnnn Vippie Rocks!!!!!!!
How to do it ..
is it just click and run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID .. and the application will do all .. or we just need to but all stuff in unpack flash ( any flash ) and install it to firmware ??
thanks allot in advanced
help still not working
I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.
If you were to create a folder then extract the utility to that folder, then click on the extracted file, then for sure you will get the error msg.
Download first the ROM you want in a folder, All New ROMs will extract to two files. One of those files is the rom update utility file that you will need to replace with the Update Utility exe file in this post. To do this just extract the update utility tool ( posted here ) in the same folder of the downloaded and extracted ROM folder. You will then be up and running. Follow the instructions.
To follow up with my previous post, I would suggest you start with the 'Wizard_Love rom or the Button Rom as basis. This will reset your download prompts on your device to accept any Wizard compatible ROM of your choice. After the first update most likely you will not need this utility to update your favorite rom onto your device.

And even than it wouldn't brick the device. So your "no" should be "yes, you're right vippie"!
Did you notice the "developers" in the websites name? What are people doing on this forum if they don't know how to REPLACE a file. It isn't necessary to spoon-feed people.
i just brick my NIKI, it hung at the WM61 green screen, so far I can enter the rainbow screen, but I can't upgrade the device by Custom_RUU tools.

why cant you upgrade from the bootloader (rainbow). did you security unlock or use hardspl? have you tried a hard reset?
if you are not unlocked/hardspl and hardreset doesnt work then you must flash an origional carrier ROM meant for your device.
You jast need to rename your .nbh file to nikeimg.nbh, and then push the camera button while turning on device. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
if i do that, i see a white screen with "loading" on it. after a 30 minutes still the same?
What is the problem?

when i flash from mcrosd,the update,start immediately after loading....i think that in your case,something is wrong....are you sure that you rename in caps letters?...is "NIKEIMG.nbh" and not "nikeimg.nbh",for example...
But what is meant with "two files"? One file must be the NBH Image but what's the other file? CustomRUU.exe?

and i tried to flash hspl by SD,
i run sspl-1.16-niki.exe,it still hung at 'loading"as well.
is the sspl-1.16-niki.exe cant flash anyrom by SD,or only cant work by USB?
if you havent hardspl ... it only work via USB!!!
SD-Card works too ... if you dont need load Software SPLs first.
you mean that i have to unlock/hspl first,than it will done?
but i cant unlock/hspl with usb
no USB = no chance!
