ROM Building for Treo 750 - Help - Palm Treo 750 ROM Development

I have a question when it comes to using the "htc rom tool" to put together the .nb files into the .nbh file for flashing.
When I extract the official WM6 ATT ROM it get more .nb files than the tool asks for when you select the Treo 750 to build a ROM for. Files such as Ext_ROM.nb, etc. How do I add thoes files in as well?
Also am I correct that the GSM.nb file is the "Radio" ROM? If so, then I should be able to select the updated Radio ROM I got from these forums and have it add that one in as well?
If there are any good guides anyone knows of thoes would be helpful as well.
Thanks.

Extract files from Extended rom (on the PC)

I've extracted the nk.nbf file from O2's upgrade Rom, and have then extracted the following files:
80040000-OS_0.nb
9b000000-Extension.nb
96000000-GSM_0.nb
91000000-SPL_1.nb
etc...
Now i know that the cab files i want exist within the 9b000000-Extension.nb file (as i am guessing that this is the Extended Rom). But i can't figure out how to extract the cab files (or all the files) from within in it.
I've searched around, and it's helped me get this far, but i can't seem to figure out how to get past this point. Can anyone tell me how to do this on my PC.
Many thanks.
I know someone in here can give me a quick answer to this one. All i want to do is get some cab files out of an O2 extended rom file on my computer (i can't use the extended rom unlocker on my pocket pc because i am currently using the crossbow OS, which doesn't include the O2 extended rom).
Thanks for any help.
If you are using orwell's wm6 your extended rom is probably still on your phone unless you wiped it off.
look for a software called winimage & load the extrom.nb file then u will see the contents.

[Que Made dump - got 4 .raw files - no .nbh or .nb - What's Next?

Hello fellow HTC-ers!
I've made a dump of my Blackstone (using pdocread -l), all seems fine. Got 4 .raw files. Now, Dr. Jay in his movie says to "get" a .nbh file. From where?? I'm confused. Read several postings about IMGFS, but those didn't help me to get to the next step.
To be precise : I want to have a flashable backup of my original (NLD : Original NLD ROM - 1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14) ROM before I install HSPL and start cooking my own. Preferably, I want to create this original flashable ROM myself, just to get familiar with the tools and the process.
Could anyone tell me where to go from here? (4 .raw files)
Thanks.
Grt., K.
ps. when I search this forum for ".nb" or "nbh" I get no hits.. Does the searchkey have to consist of a minimum number of characters?

Please read and use this very usefull tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
You need to download an official stock rom. Copy your part1 and part2 raw files and the RUU_signed.nbh (from the downloaded and extracted stock rom) into the baserom folder. You need to launch the BlackStoneKitchen.cmd from the rom kitchen folder and follow the on-screen instuctions: extract the content (push e then b), then re-cook it (push c then a).
thanks, tsummer.. I've downloaded the kitchen and the original stock ROM's a few weeks ago. The stock package consisted of 4 .rar files, extracting to one .exe file. No .nbh! So, where should I get it from? If I start the .exe, an application pops up, wanting to flash my device.. The thread you posted does not shed any light on where to obtain or how to extract the right .nbh file..
I really read in to this stuff, but somehow the whole "getting the .nbh-file" remains foggy to me. Please advice.
/edit : I've got a "RUU_Signed.nbh" from a zip called "Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip". Is that the right one? It's 513 KB (526.193 bytes) big. Question remains : How should I extract the existing .nbh from my running ROM / Device?
Found it!
To get the .NBH file from a Stock ROM .exe file, right click the .EXE and select "Extract Files..." from your rar-quickmenu!
Wow.. took me "only" 8 hours to figure this one out...
*shame* dr.Jay does explain it in his movie "rebuilding".. ouch.

Open the exe with winrar and you will see the RUU_signed.nbh (this is the correct nbh). Copy this nbh into the baserom folder and use the BlackstoneKitchen.cmd.

The SPL in an another issue.
I was just wondering if I wanted to re-cook a rom such as Dutty's or L26 to add one extra package is that the same procedure as above assuming I dump their rom from my device?

Need Experts Help Cooking ROM 1.14.488.3 from DUMP PLEASE

Hi there, I am trying to create a nbh file from 4 dump files. This ROM is missing in this forum and it is a stock ROM version 1.14.488.3 for middle east. I would like to share it with you and add it to the wiki page.
Now that i got my 4 raw files Part00/01/02/03.raw I downloaded the ROM kitchen. After 3 days of non stop reading, I have a few questions :
* It seems that I need also the ruu_signed.nbh file to make a ROM from dump ? (Please correct me if I am wrong). Why ?
* Can I use kwbr_ruu_signed_WWW_1.19.zip to cook 1.14 ROMs ??
* If not, where can I find the 1.14 ruu_signed_WWE.nbh file ?
* Using DUMP files from 1.14.488.3 and nbh from another 1.14 version will give me which version ? the 1.14.488.3 or the other ?
I tried to use the nbh from official ROMs and that did not help as it seems to be locked I believe which is expected.
Any help would be very apperciated. I hope to create the ROM successfully as there where lots of people asking for it on many forums.
Thanks !
BUMP
another shamless bump
To my knowledge official roms arn't protected, i think all you need to build the dump is part01/part02
you shouldnt need ruu_signed aswell as the part files so just put the 2 part files into the baseRom folder of the Kitchen(may be different depending on what kitchen your using) and run the .bat file to start
goto option extract ROM and then choose the second option(you should see Part01/Part02 mentioned),
if it doesnt make sense to you ill try and explain better but atleast something for you to get started on.

.nb to .nbh Tool? Rhodium

Hey guys whats up.
I was trying to find something to convert a .nb file to .nbh, the reason i was looking for one is that i need to convert a T-mobile stock SPL .nb file to be able to relock my TP2.
I tried the search, i found dutty's tool but in the 'Device' option i dont have a Rhodium to choose from so could anyone help me out with this?
I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
Here you go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550700
Or just use one of the command line tools with the settings from that download.

[Q] Extract Rom - Small carrier

Hi all!
I've done a lot of searching on this topic between here, PPC, Google, and haven't found any definitive answers, so I'm going this route and asking.
I have a CDMA Touch Diamond (DIAM500) on a small regional carrier (Nex-tech Wireless - Google it as I can't post links), that also roams on the Sprint network. I'm wanting to backup the ROM before I flash to something else. With using a small carrier, I'm not confident that a Sprint rom would work, thus wanting to extract what my phone currently uses.
My goal is to end up with a file that I can flash back to. I've already flashed to the HSPL .57 with no problems. I've found a set for the Nex-tech Touch Pro, but I doubt it's fully compatible.
I've also seen the directions here (thread 334680 on these forums) and have extracted the files, but I'm not too sure what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm on the same carrier as kazoni and would also be interested in an answer to this...
you can use the itsme tools to extract the rom bin files.
than U will need a similar base rom to build it back.
extract your base rom.
U will not need a full kitchen as some have sugested.
U will need to identify the xip.bin and imgfs.bin from the device.
use xipport to implant your xip into os.nb.payload
use imgfstonb to implant your imgfs to os.nb.payload.
nbmerge os.nb.payload with os.nb.extra to make os.nb
use an nbh tool to create RUU_signed.nbh from your os.nb and your set.
