go on the Full ROMs list and find out which full ROM has your Radio on it.
download it, extract the NBH and separate it; rebuild it into an NBH with all the components your original was comprised of, flash it and you're done.
i have seperated the NBh files and im stuck there im not sure how im supposed to rebuild it. a little more direction please

Search the Forum for NBHGen...
um dont make this so hard... just go to www.htcamerica.net and download the official shipped rom and flash it to your phone before shipping it back!
edit
here is the exact link http://www.htcamerica.net/support/docs/ruu_hermes_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe
i also wanted to add that this will downgrade your radio in the process as well as give it the official shipped rom!
thank u all for the help. Just out of curiousity what is the difference in the one from HTC and the one on this site??

well if thats the case it didnt downgrade the 1.34 radio. will try to flash it again.
i tried the official release from HTC and that does the same thing. new rom same radio. still at 1.35
i have loaded nbhgen onto my computer but im not sure how to run it or how to compose the radio in the format it needs to be in. i have searched the forum but there arent any clear instructions on how to run nbhgen and then put everything back together
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
There is a way to flash your StarTrek. It is a way using pdocwrite utility from itsutils.
WARNING! Your startrek must be application unlocked and SuperCID!
itsutils can be downloaded here.
You can flash only a OS part of rom! (OS.nb)
So, there is command:
Code:
pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000
After complete, make a hard reset (Hold record and camera button, and press power (red) button) or Clear Storage (Start Menu->Accessories->Clear Storage)
P.S. Thanks to sp3dev for giving me a pdocwrite command
THAT IS AN OLD INFO, SO HEAD UP FOR UPDATED (IN RUSSIAN):

Hmm.. i said you need SuperCID!!
This needs it, but allows unsigned code))
It`s not the only way, the others are but need to be developed (like patched spl)
Can flash to WM6?
So can we flash our startrek to WM6 using the OS.nb of the VOX rom?

no, because of vox and startrek have different drivers

But sp3dev or some other ROM cooking gods here can help us port the OS.nb of VOX to startrek with our existing WM5 drivers. Possible???

offcourse! ^^ but by his words, it is better to port tornado rom to startrek, and not vox rom
Let's wait for the Tornado WM6 rom
The Tornado WM6 rom may be out by end of this month. Let's hope our startrek will be compatible with this rom.
we will need to port it for our device
A noob question here
If we only flash the OS.nb part while keeping the rest as it is, won't it give us compatibility problem? May be a noob question, but just wanted to clarify.

Occassionally yes, usually no. The IPL and SPL part are not at all likely to be a problem if they are older versions but the Radio ROM might need to be a certain version for a later OS to work correctly.
But so far, such Radio incompatibilities have come up rarely...
Huh, this is my most pervert dream! Thanks a lot for this! ^___^ Now lets pray for new AKU, new Radio........ ^_____________^
pdocwrite doesn't work for me
I'm getting the following error.
"Copying C:\itsutilsbin\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
CopyFileToTFFS(06_OS.nb:0, 0, 02600000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."
What's wrong here? Any idea?
your startrek must be application unlocked
WARNING! The command is "pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000"
Please note that 0x2600000 is size of your OS.nb in hexadecimal value. You may calculate it via standart windows calculator
If the device is application locked, we can't even get to the "CopyFileToTFFS" phase. Since I passed this stage, this confirms my startrek is application unlocked. My device (Dopod S300) is CID unlocked too. I was using the Cingular rom for a while, but currently running Dopod rom. I tried to flash to Cingular's OS.nb from my Dopod rom, just to check if this pdocwrite method works. I tried few times, but can't get past this "ITWriteDisk" error. I verified and confirmed the Cingular's OS.nb is of exactly 38MB (0x2600000) in size. So the size is not the issue. So have any other idea?
May be itsutils.dll library not compatible with your rom... I dont know why you have this problem...
Anybody tried this flashing so far?
Has anyone tried this pdocwrite flashing so far? successful??

Fyi, I tried this command even from the latest cingular rom and it failed with the same error, so the problem is not only with the dopod rom. However I've already PMed sp3dev on this. Waiting for his glue.
my device flashes with no problems
have you try a custom writed or or only the cingular rom?

Nice to hear. Did you flash from the latest cingular rom? If so, to what OS.nb? Is this OS.nb a custom made? Would you explain a bit more? Thanks.
I just download the latest u1000 27.07.07 WM6 rom upgrade and extract all the files from the NBH and there are 9 different .nb
1. Windows.nb
2. primary splash.nb
3. secondary splash.nb
4. ATHENA_IPL.nb
5. G4IPL.nb
6. ExtendedRom
7. radio.nb
8. SIRFBootLoader
9. SPL
Normally flashing my hermes i would just extract the nbh and just re-build it with the windows.nb so i dont overide OLIPRO hardspl. If i flashed this upgrade will this overide OLIPRO hardspl as I think he mention the SPL he used wasnt bulletproof.
@ rom cookers i just used the romkoch tool to dump the nbh and rebuild it with all the .nbs i.e radio , extended rom, splash screens, windows .nb and it creates the RUU_signed which looks ok without no problems. i think if we can get dutty to be involved or look at his tool i think we can get it to optimised to work with athena as the Athena uses the same similar.nbh format as the hermes.

Base on you signature, it looks like you flashed the ROM that came out late last night early this morning. Are there anything good or bad on the new ROM?

yep, I am curious about the other files myself. I dump the NBH using Dutty's NBH tool (1.1) and created a new NBH with the same tool with just the Extended ROM and the Windows.nb. It looks okay, however I have not flashed it yet.

1) just a question, should be possible to flash the windows.nb from hermes, for example, instead the windows from htc?
2) I know how to extract but not sure about how to put together all the files? can you provide some guidance on what tools use for it and how it works, please?
thanks.

AT THE MOMENT ITS TOO RISKY TO COMPILE AND FLASHED BUT YOU CANT USED A HERMES .NB AND FLASHED TO YOU ATENA AS YOU WILL END UP WITH AN EXPENSIVE BRICK.
you can use duttys good nbh tool to extract contents from .nbh and then compile the rom radio but its not advise even if your device is hardspl as yet. possible soon or at your own risk

Agreed, still work in progress
Hi all, I've created HTC Raphael CustomRUU patched to perform a 'task 32' instead of a 'task 28' after flashing an .nbh, so it will not format your device if you just flash a radio or a splash screen.
How to: Drop the .nbh file of your choice in the same folder as CustomRUU and start flashing.
Everyone NOTE:
AVG and other antivirus's usually detect a virus in CustomRUU.exe, it's false error. Disable your antivirus while downloading and flashing.
If you have problem with your antivirus try the Raphael Wrapper attached, Thanks to cmonex for this
Have fun.

Thats a pretty impressive first post here....
Seeing the man is a cook for multiple devices, he just might know what he is talking about.
as my wife would say..
If u de wanna jab, u de be sure of proof.
RaphaelWrapper
here's another ruu that doesn't pop up antivirus warning.
I heard some people were having trouble running the first customruu. maybe this helps. (still requires .net framework of course.)
presented by raphael elite team
enjoy!
Thanks cmonex, first post updated.
Yep works fine, might be worth updating the kitchens to reflect this change.
Yup Cmonex Ruu Wrapper works great.
Since Some Guy Called l3v5y nearly bricked my Pro with a clean Rom
(stuck on Preparing your device.......... screen)
Had to Go into Bootloader mannually first, but that also works.
Let's hope the Pro version Flashes. (have to be carefull, l3v5y never sleeps, he might find out i've been bad mouthing his work and ban me)
PS: Even Flash Update Screen looks great on VGA screen, nice crisp and sharp gradient.
Hail to the wrapper
Works perfectly!!
You guys amaze me every time with your skills.
Works Great!
So to get it clear:
The wrapper also does not format the device when only flashing a splash or radio?
What is the difference between the wrapper and the custumRUU anyway?

CustomRUU and wrapper do the same job. But wrapper is modified for some antivirus giving false positives... So you can use both...

Sorry but i'm learning, this means that i don't need to install HardSPL?
If i perform a hard reset, i recover the orginal factory radio?

So, please can you explain it to me
I am so confused with all these terms (hard SPL, soft SPL, RUU).
- Do I still need to run the HardSPL, to change ONLY the Radio - or Raphael wrapper.exe is enough ?
- If I need HardSPL, will my device be formatted and lose my data ?
- How I upgrade my Radio ? I have downloaded the upgrade but except from an exe file there is another with nbh extension. How I use this file ?
Can anyone help ?
Does the CustomRUU bypass the CID check so I can flash *ANY* ROM with this tool without HardSPL?
The latest AT&T ROM has a higher SPL that the latest HardSPL and we all know what issues we had with the Kaiser using old or non matching SPL's.
Thanks!

When I try to use it, the progress bar holds at 0%, and a few minutes later i get an error. does anybody else had this problem and what is the solution,
Thnx

I'm very confused as well. I would love to do a radio update but I really don't want to do a hard reset.
I know I have to use this customRUU and I already have downloaded the radio file.
Can I start upgrading right away or do I really need to use HardSPL and loose all my data?
You need Hard SPL to use this Custom RUU. Unless you are going to flash a ROM by your carrier. Cooked ROMs, radio's etc require HardSPL.
Flashing a ROM OS will override all your data (well duh )
Flashing a radio, SPL or Splash should not override your data.
Custom RUU does not bypass the CID checks.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am in a hurry so have no time to search and investigate in this mater by myself for now!
I have flashed several roms in the past, right now I am running RomeOS 1.40
However I have now sold my device and need to revert to the original rom and SPL!
I have the Swedish rom, but the problem is that the file I have is RUU_Signed.nbh I dont have the wrapper or what it is called so that I can flash my raphael!
Also, do I need to SPL lock the device again? and if so how do I do that?
Last but not least, after flashing RomeOS, I got alot of information on the first screen (You know when you first start the device where it shows the radio version and everything!) But the problem is that I have tried to flash other roms but the information on the first screen is still there!
How do I get rid of it so it looks like the original?
Hope you know what I mean and how to help me!
Thanks in advance!

The wrapper is included in the attached file along with the htc splash screen. the original spl also in there so do the following:
1- extract the zip file and put the customruu + your RUU_Signed.nbh in one folder and run that to get your original rom
2- put now the customruu + htcsplash together and flash to change the splash screen
3- Now use the spl tool to revert to the original spl
