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.

Which version of Core Pro Kitchen are you using? The one for Hermes?

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.)

How to Dump a ROM

Here is How to Dump a ROM
(courtesy pof)
Make sure to upload both Part01.raw (XIP) and Part02.raw (IMGFS) !!
Put it on XDA FTP, Rapidshare or whereever.
It would be nice to have complete dumps from pre-production and normal models.
We can then reconstruct both ROMs as described here.

I uploaded production ROM on ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Smartphone/Wings/ROM (Production model)/
I am not sure if this matters, but i didn't install HardSPL on my device, i just backed up SPL and dumped ROM.

That works. Thanks!

I've got a pre-prod dump done by 'motin' some months ago.
Unfortunately he only dumped Part02.raw and Part01.raw is missing
Although from Part02.raw we can see which files are in it, it's not enough to reconstruct a ROM from the dump. So it's time for some other pre-prod owners to dump their ROM !
Furthermore I spoke with JugglerLKR, he is the genius behind the Kaiser ROM kitchen. He says that an official HTC base ROM for Wings is absolutely necessary to reconstruct a ROM from a dump. Of course it's just a matter of time before one appears, but if one of you stumbles over one please let us know.

So the Kaiser "RUU_signed.nbh" won't work to reconstruct Wings roms ?
If we have to wait for HTC to release a rom, it could be long

HTC Rom tool is working perfectly to convert the .nb files to .nbh with model WING**** .
The problem is here to make .nb files from the .raw's we dumped.
The Kaiser Kitchen can do it, but it also needs a "RUU_signed.nbh" file, next to the .raw's.
This "RUU_signed.nbh" file must be extracted from an official *WINGS* ROM update from HTC (using winRAR).
Jockyw2001 correct me if I'm wrong

So this is dead until HTC releases an update?? That sucks.

not necessarily if we can determine the differences between pre-prod and prod
but for that we need a complete pre-prod dump first ...

I sent mails, private messages, icq messages to rafuz and some other guy here that have preproduction model, and also to one from MoDaCo forum, to dump that ROM but no respond yet.
It looks like we are so close, but not enough.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=10476176#post10476176
I started this thread. I know that there are a few floating around over there.

Some good news!!
Rafuz replied to my mail! He really wants to help but travels a lot so can't access internet all the time. I sent him all the instructions how to dump the ROM and he will contact me when it's done.

thanks armac!! we are so close... hope its not hardware problem

I want to say BIG THANK YOU to rafuz!!!!
ROM dump is uploaded here ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/ROM (Pre-production model)/S730_Pre_Prod.zip
So, what can we do with it and without official HTC base ROM??

Porting Gonzos's Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM to Wings

Dr. Martin Gonzo has made a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Vox. Can somebody try to port this to Wings?
Thanks and best regards,

Must be alot missing from that ROM.. only 41,5 MB

it would be really nice if smone like gonzo will take care of wings software like hes doing on vox..

Okey. I flashed this OS to my wings.. cant realy see any difference?
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.16.22 build: 18128.0.4.4
Does not look like 6.1 to me? strange..

Gonzo released several updates, for example here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1997049&postcount=142. I would be nice if you could try to flash this one.
//edit: This post is more recent: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1997049&postcount=142

The Rom is missing "Xip.bin" so it is not extracted propertly...

Okey, downloading.. Will check it out

My mistake here, I flashed an old rom..
Now tried flashing this 6.1 rom, and it just goes to 82% and stops..
I cant figure out why.. I extracted the .nbh file, recompiled it to wing220.
But still, no go... strange...

Trying to figure it out here Trying to find a WM 6.1 kitchen.. I tried the Kaiser 6.1 kitchen but it does not run well here.. I need to extract all files properly.

guys, just wanted to say you should rather start from the source instead of starting from my rom which is still buggy and already a bit customised for the Vox.
You can download the original moto q update from my server here : http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev...GSZDRWNAPCNCMNSL003_secure_2803416007_1FF.rar
I found it on a chinese site.
BTW if you know of any other wm 6.1 standard version PM me.
Good luck on porting it to the Wings. It's not particularly difficultbut sometimes things don't work and you just can't locate the problem. + it takes a looot of time

Hi Dr. Martin Gonzo!
Thank you . Can you give us a short description which steps we have to do in order to port it?
Thanks,
SimonKnight6600

Finaly getting somewere here now.. But a big puzzle sorting out all the files..
Made some attemptes flashing the 6.1 version over. But the unit does not boot like it should..
Anyway, moving in the right direction at least

you have to at least replace coredll.dll in the xip and you can get rid of hd.dll, osaxst0.dll and initflashfiles.dat
Also don't forget to replace \.VM in \SYS with .VM from an original s730 rom.
If you have questions PM me, give a quick smmary of all you have done me and I'll try to help you.

Aha, great tips! I will try this later today. Thanks

Is there anyone who has the original HTC S730 ROM so you can always restore your phone?
I can imagine that you flash your phone with a cooked ROM and you don't like it that you want to go back to the original HTC rom, but I can't find it.

shiped rom
I think this is the original rom

No, sorry. Just havent had the time..
Flash Hard SPL before you try to flash any new OS to your device..

Hard SPL, USPL, SSPL, SPL.....
As far as I know I have to run a file on my phone to unlock the phone so I can install cooked Roms. The phone is then unlocked until you do a hard reset.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[KITCHEN]TOUCH HD ROM Kitchen (From JugglerLKR and JCEspi2005)

From the creators of Kaiser ROM Kitchen, Diamond ROM Kitchen, Raphael ROM Kitchen comes new blockbuster:
Touch HD ROM Kitchen with exclusive large ROM file support!
Like in the Kaiser and Raphael forums, this is a team work with JCEspi2005.
First of all, give thanks to all ppl that contribute to this kitchen, and all of you that help to make better with your feedback and suggestions...
This is a adaptation from KaiserKitchen to Diamond, Raphael and now to BlackStone. So don't wait an spectacular GUI, is as simple as the first version, a script with the tools needed in a folder. This way we can upgrade individual tool when needed...
This is the v0.7 (first version for BlackStone). I have adapted the script in a single file starting with the Alex's modification over the original batch files from version v0.3 for Kaiser. (many thanks Alex's for his works over the original script...)
Links to the Kitchen:
http://rapidshare.com/files/165037755/BlackStoneKitchen_v07.rar
Read the TXT file inside the RAR to get the pass.
ADVICE: HardSPL for BlackStone needed to flash any non-official ROM, so take care of this
Waiting your feedback, guys.... many thanks all...
Cheers.

Is there any speculation at this point whether 850/1900 HSDPA (UMTS) can be enabled on the HD?

my kitchen is ok..

Since the Surface Kitchen roms seem to be loadable only with HardSPL, isn't it normal for your cooked rom not to load considering there is no HardSPL for the Blackstone yet?

I'm gonna try M-Amine's kitchen for Polaris. Let's see how far we get with the WM 6 emulator before bricking my Blackstone, lol.

LOL... yes U use a kitchen, and you stay on 0%
but u use HARD SPL?

I rebuilt a Kaiser ROM in the past (which took me ages), and spent a while trying to do this for my Rhodium ROM with no luck.
I was attempting to reconstruct a Vodafone ROM, which can now be downloaded from Vodafone, so I don't have much need to continue with it.
However I can see that a simple step by step tutorial would be very useful, and possibly a 'rebuilding' kitchen set up specifically for this task, ideally with a folder to put in the part.raws + base ROM, and then a script that did the rest would be marvellous!
Sadly I'm not clever enough to do this, but if you're reading this and it'd be easy for you to do, please share it

I was too deconstucting the vodafone rom that i downloaded, its quite lightweight compared to some other OEM roms but theres still room to strip some stuff out of it, i did try and use the packages i.e. OEM SYS and ROM with the Visual Kitchen along side the EXT folder from my extracted voda rom but that didnt work, all i want to do is get rid of packages haha,
That said i think i managed to get rid of goodle maps, deleted the folder in EXP for the package and used visual kitchen, searched all modules for google and removed any entries for google maps, it doesnt show up anymore, whether or not this means its is not installed im not sure but i cut 2MB off the rom size by getting rid of it...
Little by little (=

How cook with this rom????
i have copy SYS ROM and OEM on root of kitchen
and after that running 2_Create_ROM.bat
when finish open the htctool but the new os.nb have already deleted from the kitchen :S
any idea?

I dont use this kitchen as im not proficient with the whole scrypting/cooking thing yet
Id say if your learning then go for the Visual Kitchen, thats what i use as im just trying to understand how the file system etc works
