Sorry for my slowliness, it's my first time at trying this. When I right click on a RUU, I can't extract it nowhere, I can only run it.... Where I haven't got the steps right?

You need a ZIP program like ALZip or 7zip, which will allow you to unzip the EXE.

"tools need |

With Winrar you can extract the exe.

Thank you, could start doing something, need some help, when I get to step 12, I write -nosplit but get invalid comand.

I think it's better to use Tadzio Tools and not Mamich tools.

With Mamaich tool you have some error like
"Cannot creat Alarm.exe"

Whit Tadzio tool no.

Hi!

I unpacked ROM from Kavana using hbhextract.

Next step was to replace original 04_OS.nb with my personal OS.nb0

It packages, but romupdate fails.

I briefly compared kavana's OS file with my own and found differences. Do you know what is it? My OS file have another format or what?

And what should i do to flash it?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm sorry this is probably a stupid question but I'm a complete noob. I've unzipped the ROM but I can't find any ROM tools (nbhExtract.exe, prepare_imgfs.exe). Are there separate tools that i'm supposed to have? If so, where can I download them?
Thanx in advance

I don't know why we had to play hide and seek with these...

**Oh, I guess I lied - NBHExtract isn't here... Guess we are still playing...

Found one...

And another... Hm.. Guess it won't lemme attach - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836

Ok, I have made a ROM, the only thing I don't get now is how to add programs into the rom from the .cab versions, and when I would do this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi Ricky, I managed to do all the steps your tutorial without any problems (I'm a nooooobb!). I have the dump folder and all. Now, I have all the mui folders that correspond to spanish (0c0a) of wm6 and I copied all to the Dump folder. Am I supposed to recompile all back now or should I make another change to get the Spanish translation of your awesome ROM?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I just bought an N2 and done the upgrade, but I can't see the RUU_signed.nbh file anywhere...

I know this is rather old thread, but I would like to upgrade my phone to something like this:

Hi, now you got me confused...
How can I upgrade my rom with the example I gave?
What I mean is I can't see the RUU_signed.nbh file anywhere!

Do you have an image that I can install?

Cheers
