Touch-It for CID locked wings! - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

I have no part in any of these programs; I just put the scattered pieces together. This worked on my brand new wing without any other modifications.
The included rom is the Touch-IT for The Wing Full http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332789

All credit goes to POF for HERALD-USPL-beta3.zip and of course the Touch-IT team for their great rom.

What about the XDA TErra? Someone tried??

It will most likely flash, but your keyboard will probably be messed up. Just download a more correct rom and pack the os.nb into a RUU_signed.nbh with the htc rom tool (by Dark Simpson). Then replace the RUU_signed.nbh in the RUU folder with one you made.

And that is the problem for ALL Terra user. There is no ROM!!! No RUU. Nothing for unbricking the devices if something goes wrong while flashing.....
That´s the big problem for ALL XDA terra user. O2 will not release an update...

they suck, they have not heard of customer service?

what about dumping the rom? picking out the oem folder and port a herald sys folder? maybe if the rgu files are intact in the terra device, they can be used somehow put into the kichen with sys and oem? hmm, xip might be a problem though.....nah, just a brainstorm....dont think its possible.
Dam, bribe a guy from terra service, make him leak a ruu on the net

Great work ! It's running on my O2 Terra with out great problems.
1. at any Softreset it send's an SMS to an nonexisted Reciver.
I changed the Keybord to Germen with this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language
as i sayd great work
Ghostrider

I didnt know wings came CID locked.
Actually that comment sounds kind of retarded.
Reason I say all this is because I've instaled TouchIT and all the variations just fine on my stock Wing..
Are others having problems?

Have found one. But he will not release....
Damn. He is a real insider with a stupid brain. Germans are tooooooo near to rules.
Hehee.
And btw - the first Aserg ROM ever was based on my terra dump. But without an RUU - we cannot unbricke. Believe me - i tried everything

germans invented rules

TylerC161, I guess your just lucky. When I tied to flash with Aserg's method I would get an error that said:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Upgrade Utility.
Which, from what i gather, means your phone is CID locked. A quick search showed the following threads discussing the same thing.

Using this method saves you from going to IMEI-CHECK.CO.UK and paying $40. Also you can restore your phone back to factory for warranty work if need be. Am I the only one who finds this helpful?

KJAM ROM on 9100 !!!!

yes this is real.
The KJAM rom, which can be found in the FTP of this site, is working on the Qtek9100 !!!
does anyone have any thoughts about that? is this ROM a better one than the 9100? I think it is!
From what I understand, The KJAM is slower with its rom then the QTEK. Because KJAM is full of apps which might not be needed. Once those apps are removed it should be exactly the same ( are the rom version numbers not the same )
ANyone have any views on this ?
I believe the ROM dates are different, with the K-JAM being 9/16/2005 and the Qtek at 9/22/2005. I don't know the difference between the two, but I'd be interested to find out. Also, I'm still trying to find out how to change the splash screens (HTC, then i-mate) when it boots, but it's different than previous HTC models so far (not splash?.nb).
As for the apps, the difference does lie in the Extended ROM, so once you've custom-tailored that area, they should be identical.
HOWEVER, people on HowardForums are complaining about the Bluetooth in the 9100, where K-JAM users don't seem to be having an issue. I didn't check up further on this, can anyone confirm?
Would yo umind sharing information about details? How to avoid device ID error? IS there hacked exe file? I need to flash my QTEK with IMATE ROM since I think BT performance in IMATE is way better.
TIA
bt on the qtek smells
Grill! Wake up and give us a clue,please!
I did the soft reset after the WM5 setup so that the crap wouldn't install and it works great
so what did you do?
imate rom on a qtek???
i got a vender error when try to install the k-mate rom on my qtek 9100. what´s the trick, that it work without the error? please help!
nice we have to get around that.
Anyone try to place the Wizard in bootloader mode first before running the upgrade utility?
If someone can point me out to the Magician upgrade utility with the NoID hack and give me the original file as well, I might be able to do a byte-compare and apply it to the Wizard's upgrade utility.

Hi,
I don't think this is the good way because I unpacked the "KJAM_WWE_ROM_1010903_104_10110_cdl_wwe_ship.exe" (rename to rar)
and I've foud the following files:
EnterBootLoader.exe
nk.nbf (74 MB)
README.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
I don't know which file have to change to "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe".
Any idea?
THX
TB
Again, if I can find out how the NoID utility bypasses the check by comparing it with the original (does anyone have the exact file before it was hacked?), and we can compare, it'll be a start to look for similar code or text in the EXEs or DLLs of K-JAM's upgrade utility.
Find me the unmodified version of the NoID utility. Look on the FTP, and check all the other Blue Angel ROM update utility's EXE files...

Looks to me that somebody who knows howto and has this phone for testing could to edit the The ROMUpdateUtility.exe to bypass the country id errors,
And use as refference maybe the hacked no id loader for the BA.
P.s. the original MA upgrade utility should be found in the original roms from the providers of the Magician devices, we got it from them if i'm right.
Hope it helpes a bit,
I'm no developer, but this file sticks out in my mind..."RUUGetInfo.exe" If that is part of the upgrade installer then it looks to me that it is looking for the actual device ID, and it probably has to fall within a certain range to allow the upgrade to proceed. Something to the effect that each country, language or brand has a range. If your device isn't in that range, you are SOL.
With each generation they do something different, and more difficult.

i think it has to be in the ROM if not then all we have to wait for is a update from qtek and switch the nkf file

Nah, it's Much more involved than that. Just look at the process taken to develop the method to do it on the JAM, PDA2K, and so on. With each generation they make it more difficult.
Dopod 838 > K-Jam rom upgrade.. need some work
I had under my hands the Dopod 838 which is infact the cH version of the WIZARD.
I would like to load the imate K-Jam rom to the Dopod
Playing a bit with the machine, it seems that the Boot loader is actually looks like the Typhoon, the TyphoonNBFTools utility will decode the NK.NBF file but I am not sure what is the Vendor ID of the Dopod.
On top of it after altering the Languge from English to WWE and made the vendor DOPOD, the romupgrade utility reports the new version going to Prodigy and the Lang is English. it seems that although the TyphoonNBFTools was able to decode the NK.NBF, the upgrade application did not take the header information.
I did run also the Boot loader command under the MTTY (on the usb port) and command that did work for the typhoon "R2ds all" responded that I do not have the authority to dump the rom image.
Tried the command password WIZARD and although it did take it, still was not authorized to dump the rom image.
If somebody could help find a method to bypass the protection of rom , upgrade (bypass vendor , Country code...) it would be very helpfull to exchange roms.
:shock:
I've been playing with the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Well, i've also noticed that the rom is like a typhoon rom.
Ive removed some strings to RUUGetInfo.exe(since this one seems to do the thing), but i cannot test it,
I got error 222, device not responding, (DUH, its a BA :lol
Maybe somebody can replace this file for the original in the folder and try running it. (if it passes the country id and the model no)
But it is a test, use at your own risk.
Do not blame me for anything.

Well since my device bricked anyway i'll mess around somewhat, let's see what this ROM's got thank you for sharing But too bad this does not flash SuperCID on the device, but requires it i'll wait for the official ROM
I bit the bullet and tried but got this error:

Hi all,
I have just flashed this new OS from the official rom (what people call, HERA_WM6_FLASHER.rar) on my P4350. This rom is for German device, like Wing's OS. There is not big difference, this is really for Herald. The mistake is the same, there are some wrong letters on the keyboard.
You can flash the OS with Aserg' way easily. Your device does not need to be unlocked.
IT RUNS LIKE HELL! )
MS Office is included. You can take a look at the below pics.
How did you flash? did you rename the os.nb0 to os.nb and followed azergs instructions as normal?
wondering about same thing..
Well, I tried replacing the os.nb file in asergs wm6, it gave a error, but when i did a hard reset, it worked just fine btw I renamed the os.nb0 to os.nb,and then replaced asergs os.nb....
im now testing out thecabs extracted from the touch and up to now its great
OK I could extract the files of the os.nb both the XIP sections and the IMGFS.
I used the Hermes NBH tools for that (see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_NBH).
My problem si that rdmshflsh.pl does only extract files, not modules...
I'm trying to rebuild a ROM for the Wizard with this one, but if I don't get any modules, it is ok to have only files in the IMGFS?
-eluth.

Sorry

I posted this for the few people that were awaiting for the Herald kitchen.
So..i know that you must probably hate me till now, but sorry again i have to delay the porting of my Core Kitchen to the Herald.
It has come to my attention that there is still no way of flashing an Terra because there is no RUU and thus no means of flashing. I will see what i can do, meanwhile i got some work and i will leave for about 5 days.
If anybody has any ideas on how to help these people, please put it into action or give me a pm.
Cheers !
you can flash using Aserg's method which is what other cooker's have resorted to!

From what i understood ...
Aserg's method only works from ActiveSync . So this means that if you cook a rom with my kitchen and make a mistake and the rom doesn't work then you have a brick. That's why i didn't focused my attention on this. I was waiting for a proper RUU so that people wouldn't brick they're devices.
Hope you understand.
Well hopefully they roll out that new RUU for WM6 before the months end. Would love to do some experimenting with it during my vacation next month.

Yes that´s true. And nothing to say sorry - you had enough trouble with your PC.
But this is what I got as away for falshing from bootloader.
The problem is that the singing of the nbh file doesn´t worfk correctly - i guess.
I've been using his tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311909
He doesn't really show a method, so what I've been doing is:
1. Using NBHExtract to dump an .nbh that's on the Herald Wiki.
2. I rebuild the .nbh using Dark Simpson's little utility using the information I had luckily written down before I bricked the phone. So I plug in my ROM (4.10.531.3) in the Version, HERA110 in Device ID. The only other thing is that I'm not sure about the CID.
3. Place the new .nbh file in a folder with an updater (the ROM Update Utility that comes with the ROMs from the Herald Wiki).
4. Get the phone into Bootloader mode, start the updater.
In this way I've got rid of the Invalid Device ID error (error 243 or something?) and now it goes to 3% and tells me that the image file is corrupt.
I'm very new at this so maybe you can see a flaw in what I'm doing, or maybe with your knowledge we can figure this out. I was *almost* to the point of trying to cook using a couple links you've posted (XIP, dumps, etc) and then put it all together in a signed .nbh, but Rapidshare was holding me back... making me wait 80 minutes between downloads -_-
Anyway... I've only been trying to update the OS.nb portion since I believe I only screwed up my OS, not anything else. I can still get into the bootloader, my IPL/SPL still reads 4.xxxxxx, and by "brick" I mean that the phone just hangs on bootup at the T-Mobile splash screen. Correct? Incorrect?

Perhaps we can work with it.
It is not a huge problem for HTC branded devices as there is a RUU to flash with if everything goes wrong. It's just a problem for our T-Mobile Wing and O2 Terra cousins (if they brick their devices). But it's nice to see some proper chefs taking an interest, never liked the pdaviet ROMS ever since they used a whole bunch of Faria's stuff without asking.
im running pdaviet now, but im hoping to see something other soon, its not bad though, just a bit slow..lots of "lagging" on the today plugin, I used the herald dump from tupisdin earlier, and installed my fav progs on that...was pretty dam fast on my phone...only problem was that it occupied more space on the main memory when stuff was not cooked into the rom itself...
trying to learn about cooking myself, not so easy as a thought
But I guess im lucky to have a unbranded htc p4350, If i brick, I just install the official Ruu from HTC
(btw, I DO use Vista for flashing, just changed the usb driver that WMDC uses to connect via USB to the old activesync 4.5 USB driver...)

Is it true there is a third way to flash ROM except Hard SPL or Gold Card?

====================================================
Updated on 29th July 2009
The most interesting question is "how to Flash a customized Simplified Chinese WM 6.5 ROM into a GBR version device while there is no Hard SPL ready and the GOLD CARD need a signed shiped official ROM?"
====================================================
It's ture. I buy a Rhodium from market and it has a simplified chinsee WM 6.5 rom. And obviously and absolutely it's not a official ROM version. And it's still be Chinese version after my several times hard reset.
However, I checked with several forum,besides here and some of Chinese forum. all of them said the HARD SPL for Rhodium is not ready. Why? And how to adapt the cooked rom to Rhodium without HARD SPL?
BTW,
I am going to update my splash of my Rhodium with the tool called RhodiumRuuWarpper sticky in this section. But I don't know how to prepare the NBH file only for the splash?
Anyone can help me?
I am a newbie for customizing ROM.
Thinks in advance.
And good wishes to all of you.

that system is not final yet, and AFAIK it also needs a cooked rom to replace the ms certs (if I'm not mistaken the certs are in IMGFS and the ULDR only checks IMGFS for them so you can't just shadow the files in windows or wherever they are)

simply dump a splash.nb from a rhodium RUU then pack it back into a NBH as a splash nbh type. Olipro's NBHUtil makes this simple
RhodiumRuuWrapper will only work with a HSPL or similar, not if your SPL is stock.

I am really a newbie for dealing with ROM. Please be kind to bear my "stupid" questions!
What do you mean "dump a splash.nb from a rhodium RUU"? How to do it exactly?
Can I backup the ROM of my device to my desktop PC for reuse? And How?
I already checked with the NBHUtil 0.92. However, there is no Rhodium in the target device menu list. How can I do?
This screenshot only shows your bootloader and not the mentioned WM6.5! Is it really true? I think not!
It's true
I bought one from China, and I have checked out many more in store. all the Rhodiums selling in Mainland China come with this rom.
I have dumped it and checked it out, it is mostly ported from a Blackstone ROM, and includes Titanium. it DOES NOT play nicely with the keyboard, and doesn't support some of the Rhodium conference features (ie lay the phone face down and it switches to speakerphone mode).
However, it is NOT unlocked, it is still running stock SPL
i successfully upgraded it to the WWE Asia ROM 1.19.707.2
any q's please ask
HPD
I wonder if it is a real manufactured by HTC or a clone from China. They can clone everything nowaday
its true they clone everything here, but only to make it look like the original, invariably the functions/interface will be incredibly simple.
there are a lot of iphone fakes, but its very easy to tell they are fake.
they even clone ovens over here, except they just look like ovens, in fact they are sterilizers for kitchenware (go figure)!
these Rhodiums are all the real deal, except they are graymarket (shui3huo4), so you dont get any warranty with them at all. if you want to by one in mainland china with warranty and full support it will cost over US$1000
sorry for my curiousity, did u tried to hard-reset the device? if yes & the system stick there, maybe they use the img update feature

maybe you dont know what "lay the phone face down and it switches to speakerphone mode" means
also SMSing from within manila fails more often than not, and it does not let you see the full text of previous messages. the WWE Asia .2 rom fixes these issues, and the automated speakerphone works too. and the FN shortcuts on the keyboard all work too

the simplified chinese ROM is a full chinese rom, there's no possibility of changing it to english, and no english menus (bar a couple in bluetooth settings). ultimately it is a substandard hack/mash up of a blackstone rom with WM6.5. as i can read chinese, i put up with it until the WWE Asia ROM was released, and, as i mentioned in my previous post, you can upgrade it to that ROM, however the WWE HK ROM will obviously not work.
i have dumped this rom, and upon examination found it to be poorly put together and not worth sharing. i will repeat, it is not a rhodium rom, and its a fully CHS rom. i definately would not use it as a base to cook from, there are far better kitchens out there, and you are better off getting the OS and OEM from a rom made for the Rhodium.

HPD

I tested all of the extra "FN" shortcuts, those green symbol on the keyboard. Most of them work fine,except the one "FN"+"SYM" as I don't know what it's for.

I do know what "lay the phone face down and it switches to speakerphone mode" means, although my English is actrully poor.
I lay the phone face down onto the table, during the phone call with my wife. And the phone turns into speakerphone mode automaticlly so that my son and I can chat with my wife together. However, I do never test it in multi-ways conference call.
However, it's true the menu of the bluetooth setting is in English.
=======================================================
Hi, HPD,
The above is just for your information.
Now I think maybe you are right. The ROM is mash up hack.
I check my IMEI number online and it show up my device is sold to GBR(Great Britain,I think).
I think you upgrade the ROM to Asia WWE via SD card, nor from the RUU exe file.
However, I can only find the asia WWE in EXE format online.
Would you please tell me how to get the NBH file from the relase exe file?
Regards.

just use WinRAR to extract the exe file and you will get the NBH ( or simply rename the *.exe to *.rar and open it to get the file)

Thank you for your reply.
I find there are tow NBH files in the exe file. One is RUU_signed.nbh and the other is SPL_signed.nbh. I think I just only need to copy the RUU_signed.nbh to my TF card and bypass the SPL_signed.nbh. Am I right?
BTW,
Can you tell me the difference between the HK WWE version and the ASAIN WWE version?

I havn't tried flashing a ROM through a MicroSD card yet, so I think you should search for more info.
But in my opinion, only the biggest file(mostly RUU_signed.nbh) is needed and you have to rename it(sry I forgot the name it should be).

check my post for HK WWE ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539361
Some details:
Supports Chinese displaying(CHT and CHS) 支持繁体、简体显示
Includes PinYin, CangJie, ZhuYin IME 包含拼音、仓颉、注音输入法
Chinese hand-writing not included 没有中文手写输入
FM included 包含FM收音机程序
I don't know about the ASIAN version since I never used it, but I think it did not support Chinese.
By the way, since your Pro2 is GBR version(you mentioned in your last post), if you wanna flash HK or ASIAN ROM, you will have to make a Goldcard to unlock the CID. Once you have a Goldcard, you don't need to extract the nbh files from the exe, just flash it through normal steps(ie. run the exe and flash).

[TUT] How to Reconstruct a Rhodium Dumped ROM & Reconstructed ROMs

I take no responsability in any damage on your device. If you're not sure what you're doing, take time to learn some basics from wiki.
This is the process to restore your Rhodium (TP2) back to the stock ROM and SPL. This should be enough for you to warranty return your device.
I have "borrowed" all of the examples from various sources on xda. Many thanks must goto jcespi2005 and JugglerLKR who created the guide and packages for the Raphael from which the majority of this is taken. The SPL "relock" procedure was taken from the Hard SPL thread. Credit to cmonex .
Prerequisites
The Rhodium Kitchen version 0.1 (Open the Zip File and read the password from the !!!readmefirst!!!.txt)
WinRAR or 7zip
RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip
nbImg v1.1
Warning
avast! home detects buildOS as a virus, I've personally used it on my machine with AV off, and am not infected, but it's up to you.
Overview
You must follow these instructions in the order given. Once you have the Stock SPL you cannot flash any ROM's except the ones that are signed by HTC. For that reason you must restore the ROM first, then the SPL.
Step 1 - Get your Orginal ROM.
If you can find your Carrier's / Supplier's ROM on this wiki page or on their website. Please jump ahead to Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM.
If you cannot find your ROM on the wiki then download this ROM : RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe and proceed to Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM.
Step 2 - Dumping your phones ROM
First you need to Dump the ROM from your Phone. Follow the instructions in this thread [TUT] Dumping an Rhodium ROM / SPL to obtain 4 *.raw files.
N.B: Although it might seem obvious to senior members, you must dump the ROM from your device before you flash it. If you have flashed another ROM to your device, then your orginal stock ROM is lost. You have 2 options, wait and see if your carrier will release one, or beg someone else with the same device to dump their ROM and share the *.raw files.
Step 3 - Reconstructing the ROM
-3.1: Extract the Kitchen to a Folder on the root of your PC (C:\, D:\, etc).
-3.2: Open the RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe file with WinRAR or 7Zip and extract the ruu_signed.nbh file and place it in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.3: Place the Part01.raw (XIP) and Part02.RAW (IMGFS) in the BaseROM folder of the Kitchen.
-3.4: Run RhodiumKitchen.cmd in the Kitchen.
-3.5: Enter the following options into the Kitchen:
-3.6: e, b (for Dumped ROM). Press [Space] once complete.
-3.7: c, a (for Cooking a ROM).
-3.8: Press the "Play" button in BuildOS and wait for it to complete.
-3.9: Close BuildOS, Close PagePool Changer and Press [Space] to goto the main menu.
-3.10: You will now have a Flashable NBH file. Press f to Flash.
Now goto Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
Step 4 - Flashing back to Shipped Stock ROM
If you were lucky enough to find a shipped ROM on the wiki or your carrier's / supplier's website, then just run the "ship exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
Step 5 - Removing Security Unlock
If you have purchased the SIM/CID/Security unlocker by Olipro, you can re-lock your device using the following tool : http://hpcmonex.net/htc/secrelock.zip
Step 6 - Restoring the Splash Screen
This is only needed if you couldn't find your Shipped Exe. If you have your Shipped Exe, you get the splash with it.
You're best creating a seperate folder out side the kitchen for this.
-6.1: Find a shipped exe from another WVGA device (HD or TD2).
-6.2: Extract the ruu_signed.nbh from the Shipped Exe using WinRAR or 7Zip.
-6.3: Use NBH Extract (in the Kitchen\Tools Folder) on ruu_signed.nbh
-6.4: Delete all files, except 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.5: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb -w 480 -h 800
-6.6: Delete 01_MainSplash.nb.
-6.7: Use nbImg.exe as follows: nbimg.exe -F 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp
-6.8: Use HTCRT in the Kitchen\Tools to make a NBH file from the 01_MainSplash.nb.bmp.nb file.
-6.9: Put the new NBH file and copy RhodiumCustomRUU from Kitchen\Tools into an empty Folder.
-6.10: Run the RhodiumCustomRUU.exe to Flash the Splash.
Step 7 - Flashing back to Stock SPL
-7.1: Ensure you already flashed stock ROM and Radio, because stock SPL flash is always the last step before sending the device in.
-7.2: Extract the relocker zip and run the EXE on your PC.
-7.3: If you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). The included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL.
-7.4: Flash the Stock SPL
-7.5: Verify if it flashed by checking version in bootloader screen, it should say 0.79.0000, not 0.85.OliNex.

Did the same thing
Used the Ralphael Kitchen, changed the settings to Rhodium added some settings for Rhodium. used a signed Tmobile US Rom.
Nice Tutorial
Sorry, Dumb Question...
-MOD EDIT: Removed Full Quote
I have found my stock ROM, so I can continue with flashing back to stock, but where do I find the stock SPL?

It's the RhodiumSPLRelocker in the Prerequisites or download it from the Hard SPL thread.

First, thanks for this. I write a fair amount of documentation of my work as a network admin so I know how time consuming this is.
cdguider has been kind enough to dump and reconstruct the TMoUS ROM so I don't actually need to do this (although I may just for the exercise) but I do want to start learning how to modify this ROM to suit my own needs. Is there a guide up that will get us newbies started on using the kitchen? Hopefully one that explains in detail what each of the kitchen tools are and what they do as well as how the Rhodium ROM is constructed. I prefer to understand what I am doing versus following recipe steps. For example, My Hermes ROM was partitioned into the ROM and an extended ROM where carriers could put their installers. Does the Rhodium have an ExtROM?
OK, back to the search tool.

No it doesn't.
For help with this Kitchen, see _Alex_'s cooking guides on the wiki for the Kaiser. That's where I started reading and then I just kept going, download kitchens published by other chefs and see how they put stuff together. There are two main types buildOS (like this one) and PRB that uses bepe's platform rebuilder - ervius's visual kitchen is based on it.
Thanks
Dave
i reconstructed the uk orange stk rom all ok very good guide thank you!
i had to do this because i lots the hard reset it just flashes up no immage then back to boot loader i though stock rom would resolve this i rebooted it and still have no hard reset still says no immage boo boo whats going on is it due to the ruu i am using i thried the rhodium one and the v1.1 one what ever it is i also tried dave's wrapper and a kaiser on out the kitchen tools all same results so i guess not any ideas ppl!?

Just click the [X] in the top right.
Pressing space will take you to the first set of options that the batch file offered you.

That's a label in the batch file .
Search for it in the RhodiumKitchen.CMD and see what's called from there.
P.S. I don't have this kitchen on this computer so a lot of guess work and memory on my part.

Porting isn't simple, have a look for some tutorials on using BuildOS and porting.
Adding and removing programs, to add, just create OEM packages, to remove, just remove them.
Have a look at _Alex_'s cooking tutorials on the Kaiser Wiki.

Question
Hi everyone ...
First of all Thanks alot for this Tut Dave awesome work.
I dumped my Stock Rom from a unbranded O2 TP2 and rebuild it.
For Cooking i used the signed_ruu from RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3. 44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
It did everything like described and i've got a
signed_ruu.nbh (1.19.207.1) newest o2 Stock Rom.
Should be fine right?
Do i also need to do Step 6 so creating a splash screen?
If anyone needs this rom drop me a message ...
