ROM Kitchen for WM6 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I've seen references to a "ROM Kitchen" for Wizards but after several hours of searching I'm only turning up files for the BlueAngel and Himalaya. What I'd like to do is experiment with modifying this new Crossbow OS.nba. From what I've read I need something to decrypt the nba and something else to access the FAT image. Where do I get such tools and information for the Wizard?

the imgfs_tools from mamaich is what you need. I'm using imgfs_tools_182. Do a search for that. There's also the aWizard that extracts to nba files and dumps the ExtRom to a directory.
Here's the readme tools.txt from imgfs_tools.

oh here's a link to the ROM Kitchen reference page. It's generic to WM5.

the tutorial on Molski's site works for WM6, as I built myself a custom ROM last evening with all of the nice things that I wanted in ROM.

Testing New tool BA Rom Editor

Hi I am testing the new BA Rom ediitor tool and need some help with a few issues.
1) Can you all have a look at the wiki list of shipped roms and post which type they are.
A Type I rom is a rom that worked with the old xda3nbftool.exe tool
A Type II is a rom that cames up with a wrong header message when using the xda3nbftool.exe tool
The link is
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The format is:
I-Mate WWE 1.22.00 1.22.162 1.06.00 Type X
2) I am now flashing the
WWE Versions With Arabic Customizing
I-Mate WWE 1.31.00 1.31.122 1.06.00 Type I
After I flash this rom it asks me to setup the carrier, I have tried 2 and get on both a IMAGNET .... Was not installed sucessfully message
Is this normal for that rom when installed using the old tool? As in who can remember what happened on with that rom?
Updated wiki, added a new column called : Type (xda3nbftool).
I have filled in the ones I played with, the rest, I don't know, although I suspect the QTEK 9090 1.69 ROM is type 2...
Cheers,
HG
Thats interesting. Where can i find this tool?

Read his post...!
He is testing the tool, so not releasing it...
And he is asking for help, so why not contribute (give) instead of wanting to have (get)...
Sorry for my tone, but it seems that everybody wants to always get, get, get, not willing to put in some effort once in a while...
hi, i couldn't find the newest German upgrade from T-mobile in die wiki, so i just post the link here...
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/mda/ba_tmde_12201_182_10600_ship_special.exe
this is a Type II rom
i hope i could help
basti
Thanks
Is this a german or austrian rom?
Is it for the MDAIII with camera as well as without camera?
I am downloding now to post to wiki
Ww have that rom on wiki so you can forget the above questions
Has nobody installed the arbic 1.31 rom,
Please answer my question in first post.
Yeah, happy goat, youre right! Always taking and never giving was all i kept in my mind while i spend my hole day working on a translation of the wiki for a german ERK. Sorry for that...
Bubisch, don't take my comments personal...I was merely letting off steam.
Can you ever forgive me?
Nice sig by the way!
So geil!
nice work Bubisch!
Moving on, and thanks for all the info about the type II roms which I must have missed.
Ok lets try another approach.
The new tool allowes you to create a ms_.nbf (That the Extended Rom) out of a list of cabs, the config.txt and Autorun.exe.
You can open both a type I and type II exteneded Rom,
export the files and import the ones that you want.
This you can save as a Type I nbf and run the upgrade to flash your device.
This is were you could help or is it I could help you, either way I don't mind.
I need.
A rar or zip file of the content that you would like to have in your exteneded rom.
I will not check to see if this makes sense nor will I check to see if the cabs are mission imposible or need input.
I will create a ms_.nbf with your opperator ID in the header.
I will add 2 splash screens of your choice that have been saved by you in bmp format.
I will upload this file and the needed install files to the ftp site for you to flash.
I have tested this with the files out of
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Applications
On a Shipped GER MDA III in WWE and it works fine
Recap:
1) Post Link to your files
2) 2 Splash screens in bmp
3) Your operator code. Model NR

Ofcourse it is...It was actually MDAIIIuser who started it...great idea and easier to reply to people...just refer them to link in sig...
thx for all your efforts MDAIIIuser , but I'm not sure whether I understand correctly your last post, and I'm not very familiar with extended roms either...
Actually it would be best if i could just flash the new updates vom the german t-mobile page... i'm thankful for every tip.
PS:
evtl kanns mir kurz wer auch auf deutsch schreiben... wäre super hilfreich
thx in advance
basti
Hey Basti. Still not able to upgrade to German Version?
MDAIIIUser, can your tool solve this problem?
Yes (Ja)
I have not been able to test the T-mobile Ger Type II roms as this is my device and operator (the ship.exe will always work for me).
So pick a rom, post the version as well clear text of devicedata.txt. I will make a custom ship.exe and pm the link
i would like to have this software on my mdaIII
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/mda_i-iii/ba_tmde_12201_182_10600_ship_special.exe
Its a TypeII , and my devicedata.txt is here:
http://basti.admin-world.de/DeviceData.txt
thx in advance
basti
Basti[08/15]
Thanks for wanting to test a UNTESTED ROM.
Check your pm for link of your custom ship.exe made by new tool.
Download, unrar, connect device, check that activesync is up,
run BaUpgradeUt.exe as is (no fix no nothing).
Check to see if all works
Then Del the Ms and nk nbf
copy the Radio.Nbf from the Radio 1.12 folder into update folder
Rerun BaUpgradeUt.exe
Check to see if all works
Please post your results
thx 4 your help, but before i start.... which update folder do you mean?
thx

if you are up to it please email-me.
i prefer that you have a good knowlege of the wizard and how it works.

faria
i am down to test. what rom did you get the os.nb file from? do you have any idea on how to extract os.nb from the new i-mate jasjar rom?
I am also cool with being a tester. I have used the Wizard since it came out and have tried 15-20 different ROMS. Work for Cingular as well. Let me know.
hi
i can test your rom
my email: [email protected]
or icq 176739383
Faria,
Is this Rom based on the same source as the other AKU3.2 Roms?
Or id this Rom maybe based on a (beta/test) release from an official source?
Can you tell me (pm me?) some details of this Rom?
Regards,
Molski
whats cookin'
we need a rom cooked from a different rom like beta14 or the new i-mate rom.
I am a junior member but my office works with HTC and I have been using it for a while. Let me know
Ready for testing it

u cannot use beta 14 for wizard it is specific to the universal.
just put a copy on ftp, you are not liable for brickin and if i was worried about having a brick then i would not be willing to test.
extract os.nb
if you could extract the os.nb from the nk.nkf then it might work but like all 3.2 roms for wizard they are based on other roms like 2.26.
when will your rom be available?

Rom Cooking

I'm quite the newbie when it comes to ROM cooking, quite lucky to have a P4350 so I can mess around a bit w/o worrying about bricking the phone. I was able to flash the t-mobile dump using this method:
xander803 said:
I'll try to detail out exactly what I did. The rom kitchen was used for every single step. The directions provided with the program are not comprehensive but done well enough that you can figure most of it out.
1). Use the extract tool and choose "dump from bin" and dump the wing os bin posted on the first page. This dumped the contents to a directory in xdump.
2). After this "pkgtool" will run to separate out the sys and oem folders.
3). Move the contents of "xdump" (which should be the sys and oem folders and maybe a couple other files) into the "kitchen" folder.
4). Place the XIP folder and Aserg's os.nb, both of which are found in this thread, into the "ROM" folder. Aserg's os.nb will have to be renamed, check for details in the rom kitchen help file.
5). This is the step where cooks can delete/add stuff but I wouldn't recommend it your first time through.
6). Run "Build" and it should automatically create your new os.nb. We don't need to do any of the conversion afterwards because we can just put this os.nb in place of Aserg's os.nb and use his method to flash.
Please read through the rom kitchen's help manual as well as Aserg's help file for flashing the herald and make sure you understand exactly what you have to do. If you don't have an unbranded Herald it may be difficult to recover from a bricked device. I bricked my device several times before getting it but luckily I have an unbranded Herald so I could just flash an official WM5 WWE back on. Lastly, do this at your own risk, this worked for me but may not work for others.

What I wanted to know is what I would have to do to switch the T-Mobile rom with the PdaViet rom in this process of cooking. I have tried various methods, but have had no luck right now. The ROM image I create hangs at the initial bootscreen.
Also on another note, not sure why this is but when I extract the PdaViet rom and then compile it back together using the Pro Kitchen, the new image is always a bit smaller (like I missed something.)
Question: How did you CID unlock your device?
I didn't have to CID Unlock to upgrade.
Well I found out that its normal for the rom size to shrink using the Core Pro Kitchen, this is because of Tadzio's program. What I can't seem to figure out is why I can't flash the new build of the PdaViet rom without it freezing at the first splash screen. At first I thought it was the missing .rgu files found by , but I have found out that those were taken out for a reason, so that cancels out one potential problem.
We just have to wait a little more. Anichillus is trying to creat the Kitchen for the herald as he promised it. But now after exams he is in holiday. But after that he will present a new kitchen. Just wait a little.
And yes - his kitchen compresses the files more than other.
Keep on working and cooking. The Heraldforum needs it really...
I never liked PDAViet roms - so let´s creat own ones...
Thanks
Thanks for the update, and only reason I wanted to use the PdaViet rom is cuz it has the newest build. Guess I'll just work with k0ster's release.
Yeah man, i'll beta test any roms you create, I just paid to have my Wing CID Unlocked and i'm trying out PDAVIET's rom's now.

Be careful. When it get bricked whiel falshing there is NO chance to unbrick with Herlad RUU!!!
Believe me and don´t try it
Hope you will allways have success while flashing with Asergs Method

I thought you couldn't CID unlock the Wing.
^^imei-check. It worked so far. No other wing user has tried, I don't believe, i'm the first guinea pig.
So I just started to cook ROMs for the herald and I have to say it is a long and enduring process, but simple enough that anyone who wants to learn is able to do so.
For anyone else who is interested I am using the Core Pro Kitchen to build the roms, using this rom as my base (very clean-also good rom to load to your phone directly. Doesnt have missing files unlike PdaViet rom when running PkgTool.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319142
I also found a very useful selection of OEM cab packages that work with the herald for the most part. If they dont a simple edit will do the trick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319970&highlight=rom+kitchen+guide
Even a newb can cook up a rom using this method so there ain't no excuses.\
Cheers
So by all means all P4350 users start experimenting and cooking up ROMS so that Terra and Wing users have something to look forward to when they have an RUU.

anichillus told me that the artemis version should work.
BUT write an pm to him and he will give you a link to his "Hyper Core Kitchen" the complete new one!!!!!!!!!
Give it a try
im going to try this out again and see if I can cook something up. I tried and actually created a rom be4 but was too scared to try it out. ill see if I can have a release by the end of the week but my computers been acting up. imma try to get the touchFLO working also.
neptune, post your cooked rom up or post some pics. did u do a traditional rom or one with the Touch home plugin and stuff?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=323166
Would you be able to add that into your rom? It's a button free activation of the 3D Cube!
i'm currently cooking a rom using the Artemis kitchen, i'll post up how it goes, main issue for me is trying to make sure i'm putting packages in the right folder. I downloaded a .rar full of pre-mad packages so all I gotta do is drag and drop. i'm using k0ster's rom as a base but would love to use the official wm6 that was just released as a base as its newer and cleaner i'm guessing. we'll see, maybe we'll see some cooked roms from me soon!

It should be better to extract the REAL WM6 rom with nbhextract and then start cooking the rom with the kitchen for Artemis (anichillus Core Kitchen??).
ANd be sure - in about one week there will be a new kitchen from him
But please use the real OS. Not a ported one!!
^Alright, i'll try that tonight. What is the major files that people remove? (Transcriber, etc.)

Dumped ROM files uploaded

Wasn't sure where to post this so I thought here was as good a place as any
Been reading around the forums for a while but first time contributing, just got myself a Trinity for personal use, been using TyTN and QTEK 9100 at work for a while now.
Vodafone HTC P3600 (VPA Compact GPS) WWE ROM just uploaded in RAW format. I'm going to have a play around extracting files from the imgfs to create a ROM image maybe, as there doesn't appear to be an official Vodafone ROM on here that I've noticed so far (be sure to correct me if I'm wrong).
Trinity WIKI Edited to add link to DumpedRoms page and to create the DumpedRoms page.
Edit: OK, so I've followed through the instructions for reconstructing an nbh file from a dumped rom and created an nbh file for Vodafone, including the original IPL and SPL and Vodafone ExtROM. Uploaded this to FTP site here if a more experience chef would be willing to examine/test this ROM I'd appreciate it. I did use OS Checker on the OS_nb file before baking it so in theory at least it should be fine. I don't have hard SPL on my Trinity yet, having just got it today I don't really want to play around with it before I know there is a safe way of returning it to Manufacturers standard (hence me experimenting with cooking this rom). Hope it works *fingers crossed*
Cheers
Craig
Again, if I've missed something in my searching please correct me, but I've just noticed that in the TomTom CD that came with my Trinity there are official HTC ROM installers for most languages of v1.23.405.2 with GPS enabled (Windows Mobile 5)
Does anyone want me to upload these to the FTP site, or are they available somewhere on the site already?
Hi CraigMC
Do you have a french version on your cd ???
If yes, i'm interested...
Thanks
i do indeed

Cavalier WM6 ROM on the Breeze

Just thought I'd move to a more appropriate thread.
I'm afraid I've made no further progress and, since going back to work, have had little time to experiment.
The status is still that:
1. The Breeze and Cavalier are very similar at the hardware and software layers.
2. It IS possible to unpack the Cavalier ROM and re-flash to the Breeze using Hermes tools and the SSPL in this forum.
3. The real problem apears to be re-packing the XIP files within the ROM to fit the Breeze Memory map.
I haven't got 3 to work

Hi, there... as you maybe read in some other threads i sell my htc touch and get back to mteor...
so also i want to have a wm6 rom on my mteor...
i have done some testing but nothing coming to life...
also the reflashing to take a 2nd shot is very complicated because i have everytime to reflash the orig. 1,34er rom... sspl flashing didn't work for me...
also i read some of the posts about xip remapping... i have get into the xip today in the morning...
but i don't know how to remap the files!? but i hopefully have today (also @work) sometime to do some research...
as i read in the Blue Angles WM6 Developement Thread, it never has been so far that a wm6 rom from another device is working on the to ported device...
but... the cavalier hw is just looking very identically with breezes one...
only thing i found... the samsung processor, since it is the same "partnr." the clock speed is @400mhz, as i read on some pages about the cavalier?!

Hi, there...
i have just extraced the xip parts from the rom now...
so now there a 2 problems...
when using dumpromx to extract i come to the files
when i using xipport i only get some files (eg. boot.rgu) and only folders of the modules (eg. coredll.dll)
with xipport extraction it is possible to reconvert to a xip.bin file... (i didn't tested it then to recopy the xip in the rom... )
while using dumpromx i haven't found any solution to recreate the xip.bin file... there comes always an error when using the option to "resave" the files...
good news! i hope that i can test WM6 for MTeoR in near future
p.s. sorry, i can't help you with xip because i didn't know about it
