Here is a tool to extract contents from NBH files, it is valid for all new devices using NBH format for ROM upgrades (Hermes, Trinity, Artemis, Herald, Excalibur, etc...).

It will extract all separate ROM parts contained in NBH file, and convert splash screens to BMP format. When run with '-v' parameter it also shows the signature for each block.

For more information on NBH format see NBH wiki page.

Example usage:

Code: 
C:\> NBHextract.exe hermimg_HTCWWE_1.35.255.2_Ship.nbh
=== NBHextract v1.0
=== Extract contents from HTC NBH files
=== (c)2007 xda-developers.com
=== by: pof & TheBlasphemer based on itsme perl scripts

the os.nb file is equal to the nk.fat or nk.nba file and can be extracted with the according tools to extract that type of files

NBHExtract.exe generate 06_OS.nb of WM5 is ok.

NBHExtract.exze generate 06_OS.nb of WM6 as 06_Unknown.nb.

Is this a problem?

Strangely, by rename 06_Unknown.nb as 06_OS.nb, the extraction tools still work and it extract the files of the OS but with many empty header.
