I have an iPAQ hx2790 (JPN) with WM5 and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction of extracting files from the ROM area. I did some searching and also looked at the WM5 ROM Tools thread, but I tried all these tools in vain. I tried dumping a ROM image from my ppc (using the tool that auto-dumps ROM into storage card) and extracting that but it didn't work (I believe it locked up). I tried dumping the original .nbf ROM upgrade file provided by HP but that didn't work as well. I just need to extract 3 .dll files so if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!

You should decrypt NBF file, then the tools would work.
Currently there is no decryption tool available, you should make it yourself.
I don't remember the encryption used in HP NBF format, but it should be simple, maybe XOR with a constant string, and maybe some garbage added after each block.

Thanks for your reply mamaich, I didn't know HP's NBF was encrypted. Is there source code for a decryption tool someone made for another NBF format already?
