Hello,
As everybody already knows there are some serous problems with Qtek9090 device type models and carkits. A nice echo is produced when somebody is calling. I have a wavedev.dll file that should resolve this issue but I can't replace it on my Qtek9090 because it's a system file. How can I force this replacement?
Thanxz for any response, I bought this complete set and i'm thinking about it to return it. Operator T-Mobile, rom1.40, radio 1.20.
Peterpanman.
rename existing wavedev.dll to wavedev.bak, copy the new file and reboot.
Just curious but is it definitely Radio 1.20 or 1.12 as 1.13 is the latest I know of....
wavdev.dll
hello mamaich,
of course i can not rename the file because it is a system file, in use, attributes can not be removed. anybody has another idea?
peter
(sorry for the type mismatch radio 1.12)
Re: wavdev.dll
1. All files in ROM can be freely overwritten even if they are loaded by applications. But they of cause cannot be renamed.
2. Files in object store that are opened cannot be overwriten. So if you cannot do that - than this file is contained in object store and was already updated, probably by some CAB from extended ROM.
3. WM2003 allowed opened files from object store to be renamed. According to your post you have 2003SE.
If you cannot rename this file - the file may be in ROM, so you can freely overwrite it with explorer.
If you cannot overwrite it - you still can rename it. In this case after renaming there would 2 copies of file. One with the new name, and the old wavedev.dll would reappear (the ROM version would be visible again).
In some rare cases some program may completely prohibit access to the file, but i've never seen that for DLLs. Unless you are using some PocketPC antivirus (a completely silly idea by the way). In this case uninstall antivir and do a soft reset.
WM2005 does not allow user to overwrite ROM files, but they can be still overwritten by OS itself, for example by creating a custom CAB file. I do this in my WM5 patches.
Not working
Hello mamaich,
Thanks for the complete answer but unfortunally none of these options work. Renaming the file does not create a new copy of the renamed file. I can't even copy the file, it says \\Windows\wavedev.dll access denied. Maby you can tell me how to create a .cab file so that this file is copied and overwritten? something with .net or something?
Thanxz,
Peter

You can use WinCe Cab Manager
In the old days, there was no problem accessing the ext ROM and copying every cab file. I understand that the situation is different with the Diamond. Is there any similar way to do that? I don't have the ROM installation file (and can't get it anywhere), but I just want a certain cab file it installs..
To whom that might be interested, it seems that those cab files are located in the \Windows directory.
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.

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
hi all
it's already few days (and nights) that I'm looking for how to dump my french rom and I managed to dump the raw parts O 1 2 3 following all the tutorials with the tricky memory adresses but I cannot manage to rebuild it then
I extract it throught the kitchen after havin put the parts and the ruu signed in the baseRom folder but when i try to cook it with the builOS program
I indicate the ROM folder but there is always the file OS.nb missing
I have only a folder XIP with a file called boot.rgu inside the ROM folder
I had a look in the whole kovskykitchen folder, there is no OS.nb, just one called OO_SPL.nb created after extraction in the base ROM folder.
did I miss a trick ? sorry if so but I didn't find any help in the threads...
thanks guys

Have you tried copying 00_spl.nb to OS_SPL.nb and then re-building ?
sorry the file needed is called OS.nb and not OS_SPL.nb
yes I did it, rename the file 00_SPL.nb by OS.nb and put it the ROM folder,
then I indicated it into the buildOS soft package tool, it looks like it is workin fine and finish sayin work successful then I close it,
the dos window takes the relay but displays an error 'input file OS.nb.payload has no valid boot sector aborting...'
that's rude right ;°) ?

im trying to extract some cabs from a NHB file...can anyone guide me in the direction on how to do this
I'd say the best way to do that is to extract the ROM into regular files.
You need to download a bunch of EXE files: NBHextract.exe, NBSplit.exe, ImgfsToDump.exe, and ImgfsFromNB.exe
You need to extract the NBH with NBHextract.exe. This will yield a .nb file
You need to use NBSplit (use the "-kaiser" parameter) to split the .nb into a .nb.payload file and a .nb.extra file
You then need to use ImgfsFromNB on the .nb.payload file, which will create a file called imgfs.bin
Use ImgfsToDump on imgfs.bin, which will create a folder called "Dump". When it finishes, All of the ROM's files will be there. You will probably want to search the folder for .cab files, since there are thousands of files in the average ROM dump.
That should do the job for you.
Or just use Visual Kitchen to Dump the ROM, and then rebuild the OEMs to CABs.

could u walk me through the visual kitchen program?
Hmmm look for htcRIE_0.4.0.47 and extract what you want.
im trying to extrct the streaming media player cab...the one thats in most of the 6.5 roms that has a look a like HTC ablum look to it, but i cant find a cab using "htcRIE_0.4.0.47"
little help will might ...
You do not search for it at you WM ROM,
Search at the site...
Anyway i have been find it for you !
A newer version of htcRIE, enjoy!

With Visual Kitchen, just click on the Dump button at the bottom - and then browse to the NBH file .
Dave
i guess all nbh files dont have cabs because in the dump folder it creates...its only a couple of cabs and whole lot of systems files

Yeah, you have to rebuild the EXT packages to CAB's I don't know if there is a tool for that actually. Might be better dumping it the Dave (TyTNII) way, that will give you OEM's. There are tools for OEM 2 CAB.
Jason8 is working on a tool to convert all 3 all ways IIRC.

the nbh extract file launches for a quick second...it doesnt stay on the screen, as well as a lot of other files such as nbh split....do i need to update something in order to have these programs run properly?

You have to run them from the windows command line (CMD.exe). If you really want me to, I'll upload a batch file I made which automates most of this. You just put the NBH and tools in certain folders and run the batch file and it does the rest.

that would be so helpful
Alright, I fixed all the bugs in it (it was still in progress) and added some new features I had meant to add for a while, such as renaming the processed files by date processed (though you probably won't need them if you're only extracting one ROM). Hit [WINDOWS KEY] and R on your keyboard at the same time to open the Windows Run dialog, and type "%USERPROFILE%" without the quotes. Simply unzip the file and drag the folder called "Flashing" in the user folder (it's vital to have the Flashing folder in the correct spot. Otherwise, the entire script will fail). Place the NBH file you want to extract in the NBHDUMP folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder), and go to the IMGFS folder (in the Rhodium folder, which is in the Flashing folder). Now, run RhodiumRomDump.bat and the dump should commence, and a folder with your dump should appear in the same directory.
If anything should go wrong, please tell me so I can try to fix it.
EDIT: Please redownload, all issues I could find are fixed in this version. If you get errors about needing MSVCr71.DLL with this version, google is your friend.
maybe im not doing something right, ive been at it for days now...i put the "flashing folder" in C:\Documents and Settings\Sean (sean's my name..haha), put the nbh file in the NBH folder, ran "DumpRhodiumRom", i got 2 folders named "and" and "Setings"....when i run "dumpRhodiumRom", its just stays on the screen for half a second
ive extracted the rom before using visual kitchen...im trying to get some of the programs into cabs...the problem is that in the dump file, i see the programs i want, but they arent in cabs, so i cant just take its "exe" file and put it into another phone (well at least that didnt work for me)

That's odd. Can you tell me two things?
Where do these folders ("Settings" and "And") show up?
Hit [Windows Key] + R and type "CMD" (without quotes), then hit okay, then type "cd %USERPROFILE%\Flashing\Rhodium\IMGFS" (without quotes). Now, type "DumpRhodiumRom" (without quotes), and tell me exactly what is says (you don't actually have to include all the formatting and everything). Also, if you could tell me what color it's in, that would help.
I'm going to test it in a virtual Windows XP environment and see if it's compatiblity with XP that's the problem.
EDIT: So the problem seems to be the fact that it doesn't like the spaces in the folder name "Documents and Settings", hence the creation of the "and" and "settings" folders. Unfortunately, it's an important folder, so renaming isn't really possible. However, I think I know a simple fix to the original script, so I'll test that and post it shortly.

Try downloading cabtools V 0.3 and use pkg2cab to build the package back into a .cab file. I've never done it myself, but this looks like what you want.
