Sorry for beating a dead horse...but...

Hey guys,

I've been trolling the forums for some time now, and I have yet to find the answer that I am looking for in regards to cooking my own ROMs - specifically for the HTC Vogue (Bell). I have looked through all sorts of stickies/readmes, but I still cannot figure out how to put it all together...

I've got a stock ROM from Bell, it has been extracted (so I have the bootloader, .nbh file and so on)...

Now HOW do I extract the .nbf, or even edit it for that matter? The only solution that I have found is the UNIX-based one, but I'll be honest, PERL and I dont get along well...is there a GUI or commandline based solution for WIN32?

I feel dumb for asking, but if someone could help me figure out the editing/compiling/flashing aspect, I'd be forever grateful :)


Thanks.

Most of the kitchens will take that nbh and parse it out in to the OEM and SYS folders you need.

I would suggest you search for DogGuy's command-line kitchen, and use that as a learning tool as he has batch files that automate most everything, and yet you can go through them to better understand what is happening.

Good luck!

Yeah, I did check that post, however, it seemed that they were a step ahead of me...the tools that were provided did not (both gave application errors on launch...?).

Thanks for the replies, any one else have other tips, pointers, etc?

PPCGeeks.com is the answer...I still haven't found it yet...there's too much info on that site. Have you seen this thread:

By following that method its a TON of work...and that's using a 'kitchen' someone already made. What you and I want to do is create our own kitchen by stripping a stock rom...and there aren't any guides on how to do that...I'm assuming because that's even MORE work. So basically a (TON of work x MORE work) = Fu%$ that.

If you find a somewhat easy way to do this before I do, post it for us!
