Hi apologies for the question in advance!!!
Im trying to flash a radio onto my O2 stock rom .. i ave successfully put hspl on device but when i try to flash the radio nothig happens????
I have renamed radio RUU_Signed.nbh and when i run custom ruu i get a prompt from computer to allow programme which i do and then nothing happens
THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS WATCHED THE YOU TUBE DEMO AND CANT THINK OF ANYTHING IM DOING THAT IS WRONG ????????????????????????????????????????????
Have you tried to copy the radio file (rename it to LEOIMG) to your SD card, reboot while holding volume down, and flash from there?
Will give it a go now thanks for the help much appreciated
NO LUCK STILL WONT WORK IM SURE IM JUST DOING SOMETHING WRONG BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT...
ABOUT TO THROW PHONE
you did unzip teh radio file and extract the .nbh, right? you didnt just rename the zip(or rar, or 7z, whatever) to .nbh did you?
(by teh way, for usb flashing, no need to change teh filenmame at all, just extract the .nbh, put in folder with customruu.exe, and run customruu. And of course this wont work if your spl ends .0000)
So you copied the radio file (named LEOIMG) to the root of your SD card?
You get past the 3 colored bootloader?
What msg do you get, whats happening?
Edit: What samsamuel said, you have to unzip the file first ofc
Hi yes to above i did extract, tried custumruu no joy, tried renaming LEOIMG AND SAVING TO SD CARD ROOT hold power and down volume , it goes into bootloader and just sits there doing nothing in the red band it says SPL-2.08 HSPL, and in the white band it says SERIAL?????????????????
does your pc run avast or mcafee? they can disable customruu. you can tell because when you run it nothing at all happens.
as for sd card failing, have you formatted it since you got it? cos the o2 stock one comes formatted to FAT but need to be FAT32 for flashing.
also, many 16gb and some 8gb cards can be temperemental
Thank you everyone
problem was with the computer not the process tried it on the desktop instead of lap top and it worked first time

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.

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
great stuff, J.S. )

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:

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.
I get to know flash elf by SD was rename NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh, is there anybody know how to rename the nbh file for NIKI? what is the file name for NIKI?
Thanks in advance!!!

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?

yes it is!...NIKEIMG.nbh & CustomRUU.exe....exactly!
then NIKI can't flash by SD in the end?
i got a same probrom,it hung at "loading"
card from is fat32
name is nikeimg.nbh

The filename must be NIKEIMG.nbh! Try it with big letters instead of normal letters!
i've already use NIKEIMG.nbh but it still hung at "loading"
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!
I need help with installing an OEM AT&T rom to my phone. My usb gave out on it and I need to return it to the store. The only thing is that the file that I have is an EXE file. can I put that on my memory card and run it just like that or do I need to do it another way?
and yes I did search but nothing came up. Only stuff on how to flash it in non .exe file
Open the .exe with winrar, extract the .nbh file inside, rename it to RAPHIMG.NBH and place it on the root directory of a microsd card (which must be formatted as FAT32)
hold volume down, press the soft reset button w/stylus
should bring up 3 color screen and prompt you to flash
Thank you very much Da_G. Worked perfect and am now the proud owner of a new HTC Fuze.

I did the same thing another way I guess I should share it with you as well. I put the phone into bootloader mode by holding the power button and volume down as I turned the Fuze on. Then I connected my phone to the computer via usb and ran the exe... It worked like a charm!
Before I try something stupid, I am wondering if someone here might know if I can flash SPL using the SD card the same way I flash roms??
My activesync doesnt connect at all and I want to reflash stock spl but RUU just isnt working because it doesnt see my phone via USB/activesync...
thats when i got the idea to try this.. could find anythign in search, so here I am...
thanks for your attention
In case anyone else needs this info:
I just found this on PPCGeeks: Link
Does the RUU program give you the error?? If so that was what happened with me when trying to run the manual HardSPL off the SD card. If it's stuck in the Tri-Colored screen try resetting the phone with your stylus. Try hard resetting your phone (for some reason the manual method worked for me after that) (Hold power, volume down, center d-pad button, and reset)
Here's what I did:
* Hard Reset Phone
* Download Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.exe and SSPLManual_Raphael.zip
* Transfer Raphael_CDMA... to an empty folder on the desktop of your VM
* Run Raphael_CDMA (but don't use it)
* Now look in the above folder and find RUU_Signed.nbh and move to the root of your SD card
* Use a file utility on your phone to rename RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh
* Put SSPLManual on your SD card and run the program
* It should now flash your SPL
* To test boot into bootloader and it should say 0.37.CMONEX
* Delete RAPHIMG.nbh
* Now to flash a custom ROM download one and find the file RUU_Signed.nbh... move it to the root of the SD card... rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh (using the phone) and enter the bootloader (hold power, volume down, and push the reset button)... it should now flash the ROM
Hope this helps... I know it can be frustrating when you don't want to screw anything up!

So I did it in reverse, got the Stock locked SPL and copied it to the flash, renamed it and ran SSPLManual. then it updated fine.
Note: it didnt work with the Power+Volume Down updater, i had to actually use the exe to launch the updater
see you at the repair center, time for my 5th TP keyboard
