Hi
1. Download KaiserKitchen and extract it to your harddisk.
2. Download Thaihugo uploaded WWE 1.22x as your base ROM and put the RUU_Signed.nbh (WWE 1.22x archive has it) in the BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. Copy the Part files in the same BaseROM folder of KaiserKitchen
3. There will be a batch file (I forgot its name, I am sorry) in the root folder of KaiserKitchen. Just Run that.
3a. Press e (extract)
3b. Press b (using base rom and part files)
4. follow the steps that it asks
5. press option for cooking (i think c or something) I forgot.
6. It opens the HTCRT. Select Kaiser in the options and select the NB file that it created from the base rom and your part files (basically it is Part 2 that is the language part).
7. Once it is done, it will create a RUU_Signed.nbh in the base ROM file (it lets you to chose name and folder).
I am sorry, I could not remember the exact option names. I am currently travelling. The instructions are on my home computer. The other day cmonex helped in extracting from Chinese for me. I tried to recollect our chat and presented it here. let me know how did it go. Otherwise, if you could wait till tomorrow evening (I live in CST), I could provide you correct name of batch file and options.
You can download KaiserKitchen from Kaiser sub forum here. Search for KaiserKitchen and you could get the link for it to download.
Thanks and HTH

Thanks for the help... but, I've problems with the process, please take a look at the S.S. uploaded in this thread...
Here's another SS, the updater stop working at 0% saying device not recognized in the taskbar...
I also tried using thaihugo updater with my new RUU_signed.nbh...
no result... it stop working at 2%
what's the problem?
don't use this kitchen. Use kaiserkitchen 0.3. also, the nbhutils must be olipro version, not htccrt.
here is the proper nbhutils
I am a software developer by trade and so I hope I will be comfortable with creating my own ROM. However, I have no idea where to begin! Can anyone point me in the right direction?
on the wiki you can all read about it.

Thanks for the quick replu xmoo. I've had a look there before but it's not answering any questions. I have no idea what dev environment I need nor how to do it. Am I missing something or is it just my Sunday head?
you need a kitchen, in the kitchen you unpack a ROM image, you then exchange, remove or add files to the extracted ROM image. then you repack it. thats it. no programming skills involved.
and all information regarding kitchens can be found in the wiki, I did at least.

Thanks for the info.
I have Hard-SPL'ed my X1 and am ready for a new ROM now. I have downloaded a NBH file and used the NBHUtil to unpack it. Is this the point at which I customise the individual parts? If so what do I use to do this with the NB files?
NBHUtil is not a kitchen, its a utility only. And NB files are just the components of the NBH file, like a NB for the radio part, a NB for the OS part, a NB for ... you get the idea. The actual contents (exe, dll, eg.: files that ARE windows mobile) are encoded inside the NB's.
Search for "RaphaelKitchen" version 0.62, download that. Once you got that far, get back in here and I'll give you the config files you'll need for the RaphaelKitchen.
Instructions on how to do what: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
In that message, leave out the parts about dumping and get directly to the instructions for the kitchen. The actual "cooking" (thats what its called, hence its called a kitchen) comes between instructions "e, b (for dumped ROM),space key" cuz now you just unpacked the ROM and you have tons and tons of DLLs, EXEs, eg.: you unpacked the NBH in NBs and decoded the NBs to its contents.
You cook by removing and adding stuff to the respective folders.
After you did that, continue by following the post: "c, a, press BuildOS Play icon and wait to finish, Close BuildOS, close PagePool Changer and press space" which equals putting the files back together and compiling a new NBH which you can flash...
and i'm sorry but the WIKI acutally REALLY does explain all that:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
The RaphaelKitchen is a modified version of alex kitchen for the kaiser, it is essentially exactly the same.
Cheers Schaggo!
I was looking at the Xperia Wiki not the main Wiki My bad sorry.
I'll give this a go later and report back
No problem, no problem. As I said, as you start cooking, get back in here and I'll provide pre-edited config files with all the settings for the X1.

Hi, could you provide the pre-edited config files for X1? Thanks.
Ok so here's what I have done:
Download and unpacked RaphaelKitchen 0.62 as stated.
Ran it with 'e' then 'a' as the command line parameter to extract the NB files again (just to see).
Found all the NB files in BaseROM folder and a sh*tload of mixed files in the temp folder. At the root I have a couple of BIN files as well as some NB related files. dump_imgfs and dump_xip are the main folders in there with lots of bits beneath then. Is this right?
Then ran the build ROM commands as you stated. Pagepool wasn't open though(?) or couldn't see it anyway. Everything else went to plan and I got a NBH file in the end.
I expected the packages folder to be populated but nothing went in. Has this all gone to plan?
**Edit: Also never saw PagePool **
Here is the extra config you need for X1
Extract and put the files in the root of the RaphaelKitchen.
Run "X1Kitchen.CMD".
This is what I am using for "e"xtract and "c"ook a room and it's working perfectly w/ me. Other options is not tested or use by me.
I even added/modded some more files. Replace all files and run RaphaelKitchen.cmd and continue as instructed in the manual.
Cheers guys. Will try this config tonight and get back to you
In the extract ROM there are two options:
- one needs RUU_signed.nbh only
- the other one needs RUU_signed.nbh + part01.raw and part02.raw
which is the right one to choose? if b): where do i get those files?
/edit: never mind, figured it out myself
Flashing now :-D
For future reference, if some more people ask:
if you just want to unpack an existing ROM image (nbh-file) use option 1. this unpacks the file and fills up the folders with the files to cook with.
if you want to reconstruct a ROM you (or someone else) dumped from his device, chose option 2. this decodes the raw-files (dumps) according to (simply spoken, please forgive my inaccuracy ) the template which is given by the nbh-file. without the nbh-file the kitchen doesnt know how to decode the raw-files, it needs a reference file (the nbh) to do so.
hi i'm a noob to the whole wm scene and i'd like to learn how to cook my own roms as well. I've downloaded the kovsky kitchen but i can't find anywhere on how to use it. i've looked in the wiki but can't find how to use kitchens. maybe i've overlooked something. at any rate, if someone could post a link on a tutorial or any info that could get me started, it'd be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

thanks! one more thing... should i backup my original rom? if so, how do i do this?
Hypercore and X1 "kovsky"
i just had to ask, well kovsky kitchen works for the experia right? so hypercore multidevice, shows no experia or kovsky config, #11 post says raphael kitchen xperia.cmd, so you can use that kitchen for x1 as well, so how do you get hypercore/X1? to work
Hey there
I would like to backup my current stock rom on my Blackstone.. What i have done so far is to dump the rom i think? i have used Itsutils to create part00.raw up to part04.raw which means 4 files.. Now i would like to build those together to make a single flashable file .. But how to do this ?
Thanks !
~D
The guide is still pending here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450565&highlight=Reconstruct
Check out the links in his sig for Kaiser and Raph ROM Reconstruction, and try and figure it out
There might be something on the wiki also.

I've used the same procedure and it works,
use the Blackstone Kitchen from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456,
copy your raw files in the baserom folder and a reference stock rom (RUU_signed.nbh file) (I don't know what's taken from this file but you need it)
then launch the "BlackStoneKitchen.cmd" and extract the content (e,b), then re-cook it (c,a) and it's done.
Hello fellow HTC-ers!
I've made a dump of my Blackstone (using pdocread -l), all seems fine. Got 4 .raw files. Now, Dr. Jay in his movie says to "get" a .nbh file. From where?? I'm confused. Read several postings about IMGFS, but those didn't help me to get to the next step.
To be precise : I want to have a flashable backup of my original (NLD : Original NLD ROM - 1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14) ROM before I install HSPL and start cooking my own. Preferably, I want to create this original flashable ROM myself, just to get familiar with the tools and the process.
Could anyone tell me where to go from here? (4 .raw files)
Thanks.
Grt., K.
ps. when I search this forum for ".nb" or "nbh" I get no hits.. Does the searchkey have to consist of a minimum number of characters?

Please read and use this very usefull tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
You need to download an official stock rom. Copy your part1 and part2 raw files and the RUU_signed.nbh (from the downloaded and extracted stock rom) into the baserom folder. You need to launch the BlackStoneKitchen.cmd from the rom kitchen folder and follow the on-screen instuctions: extract the content (push e then b), then re-cook it (push c then a).
thanks, tsummer.. I've downloaded the kitchen and the original stock ROM's a few weeks ago. The stock package consisted of 4 .rar files, extracting to one .exe file. No .nbh! So, where should I get it from? If I start the .exe, an application pops up, wanting to flash my device.. The thread you posted does not shed any light on where to obtain or how to extract the right .nbh file..
I really read in to this stuff, but somehow the whole "getting the .nbh-file" remains foggy to me. Please advice.
/edit : I've got a "RUU_Signed.nbh" from a zip called "Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip". Is that the right one? It's 513 KB (526.193 bytes) big. Question remains : How should I extract the existing .nbh from my running ROM / Device?
Found it!
To get the .NBH file from a Stock ROM .exe file, right click the .EXE and select "Extract Files..." from your rar-quickmenu!
Wow.. took me "only" 8 hours to figure this one out...
*shame* dr.Jay does explain it in his movie "rebuilding".. ouch.

Open the exe with winrar and you will see the RUU_signed.nbh (this is the correct nbh). Copy this nbh into the baserom folder and use the BlackstoneKitchen.cmd.

The SPL in an another issue.
I was just wondering if I wanted to re-cook a rom such as Dutty's or L26 to add one extra package is that the same procedure as above assuming I dump their rom from my device?
Hi all!
I've done a lot of searching on this topic between here, PPC, Google, and haven't found any definitive answers, so I'm going this route and asking.
I have a CDMA Touch Diamond (DIAM500) on a small regional carrier (Nex-tech Wireless - Google it as I can't post links), that also roams on the Sprint network. I'm wanting to backup the ROM before I flash to something else. With using a small carrier, I'm not confident that a Sprint rom would work, thus wanting to extract what my phone currently uses.
My goal is to end up with a file that I can flash back to. I've already flashed to the HSPL .57 with no problems. I've found a set for the Nex-tech Touch Pro, but I doubt it's fully compatible.
I've also seen the directions here (thread 334680 on these forums) and have extracted the files, but I'm not too sure what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm on the same carrier as kazoni and would also be interested in an answer to this...
you can use the itsme tools to extract the rom bin files.
than U will need a similar base rom to build it back.
extract your base rom.
U will not need a full kitchen as some have sugested.
U will need to identify the xip.bin and imgfs.bin from the device.
use xipport to implant your xip into os.nb.payload
use imgfstonb to implant your imgfs to os.nb.payload.
nbmerge os.nb.payload with os.nb.extra to make os.nb
use an nbh tool to create RUU_signed.nbh from your os.nb and your set.
