POST 2: IV - Custom "cooked" OS ROMs from xda-devs members

INTRODUCTION & FAQ
- This free encyclopedia is intended to provide the required basic skills and tools for new users to start flashing/modding, but XDA-developers is a developing devoted site, not a support hotline
- There's no "easy way" or "universal guide" to learn how to flash SPLs, RADIOs or ROMs (ROM = firmware = operating system "OS") A lot of READING, SEARCHING and LEARNING is required before asking/posting new threads demanding previously answered questions
- This library is NOT related in any way to Sony Ericsson; no tech support for SEUS here
- Flashing ROMs has NOTHING TO DO with CID or SIM-unlock... wrong place to ask about that
- Questions like "which ROM shuold I flash" or "what's the better one" have no answer; it depends on your own requirements/preferences; read every "cooker"s (ROM builder) thread to learn what's included into each custom ROM and decide for yourself
- Most files here are zipped with WinRAR to save space and faster download
- If you still want to do it yourself, welcome! All you need to know is here; enjoy and happy flashing for those who are willing to read and learn
- Post or PM me to report dead links or if you have contributions
I - TUTORIALS & LEARNING RESOURCES
- "Flash" = copy a file into the device read-only memory (ROM)
- Types of ROMs: SPL roms, firmware ROMs & transmitter RADIO roms. Original stock ROMs often include all three
- All ROMs are flashed with *.nbh extension. Some stock ROMs come as *.image and must be renamed to *.nbh first
- Ways to flash: from a PC using the proper "ROM Update Utility" (RUU) listed below or from a microSD card inside the phone
- Notice there are 3 different RUUs depending on what you want to flash to the phone from your PC
- ROM or RADIO files must be renamed accordingly: "RUU_signed.nbh" to flash from PC using RUU, or "KOVSimg.nbh" to flash directly from microSD
- Flashing SPLs or RADIOs is fast (a couple of minutes) and will not delete any info or software. Flashing ROMs takes more time and resets the device, erasing everything to its original state as if it were the first time you turn it on
- HOW TO FLASH ROMS TUTORIAL by Phenx - A "must read" to start learning
- HOW TO FLASH OLINEX HARD-SPL by Olinex - This special SPL replaces stock SPL, enabling phone to receive non-original (cooked, rebuilt, other language) ROMs or RADIOs. Flash this special SPL first !! and avoid being the proud owner of an expensive brick
- MICRO SD METHOD TUTORIAL by jackleung - An alternative, safer method to flash ROMs or RADIOs without a PC
- HOW TO BACKUP/DUMP YOUR ROM TUTORIAL by Angelusz - In case you want to go back and your original ROM is not available for download
- HOW TO IMPORT TRANSMITTER RADIOS FROM OTHER DEVICES TUTORIAL - If the bunch of radios compiled here are not enough & you want to test some more from other HTC devices
- XDA-WIKI - Lots of knowledge about flashing and cooking. Go here if you get RUU errors
- Moderator Announcement by tnyynt - A "must read" before posting/starting a new thread, should you still have questions
- RADIOs FAQ thread by J-Pro Concise, brief but informative post: learn the basics at a glance. Recommended
II - FLASHING TOOLS & UTILITIES
- Hard-SPL Update Utility (RUU) for X1 with instructions & Olinex Hard-SPL included - App to flash SPLs from PC

Please notice I stated that all edited radios (imported from other phones) were tested on a security unlocked phone... We will need fir a security unlock tool to finally flash other radios successfuly
BTW radio 1.10.25.18 works a treat for me
just wanna say thanks to xda devs and all its contributors.. you guys have made my first experience with a ppc a truly exciting one!!!
keep up the good work guys!!!!
hopefully a rom that supports the x1 in landscape mode will be cooked soon..
I have some more serious problems
I have installed Hard SPL = OK
When I try to use Rom Update Utility, I get an error message (I don't remember de "error number") I searched for that error number and found that it is because this Rom Update Utility is not made for may device and I am using the Xperia X1i (from Vodafone Spain).
Can anyone please confirm that the Rom Update Utility posted here for the Xperia x1 (x1a) differs from the one I need for the X1i ??????
Thanks in advance !!!
Gracias a todos!!!!

I may be wrong, but if you do not have an unlocked phone you may need to SIM unlock it before flashing.

Thank you for your reply !!! This is what I thought but finaly I did it
I used this image file: APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_SP_KOV_R2A.image
Extracted the OS
Converted to *.nbh
Renamed it to Kovsimg.nbh
Copied it to and Micro SD
Started the device in loader mode
And just had to follow the on screen instructions !!!!!
Done !!! It's done !!!! )
Perhaps moderator could make this one sticky, i think it would be a good idea since it's the most complete and gtrab worked a lot in making this library the most useful possible for all.
And sure that it will save a lot of time from some people... and avoid dumb questions from some others not willing to read basic posts before flashing their first rom....
Cheers!

Eres laostia !! LOL
Congrats, I am very glad to read about your ingennious solution
Some questions:
1- If you could please upload the OS file I will gladly add it to the ROM library
2- Did you try the micro SD method with the full image before ?? Or just with the extracted OS ??
I need more input 'bout that RUU - Anybody else gettin' trouble with this RUU ??
3- I DO prefer the microSD method and I use it all the time; It's safer. Think 'bout a mains (power) failure during the PC driven ROM update

Objective of JackWater in cooking rom in past few years (for Hermes, Kaiser and now Rhodium):
Basic function of a phone must work without bug: Phone call, text message, contact, ActiveSync.
Stable
Smooth
Putting app package into ROM -> mean faster app running.
Graphic has less priority but JackWater still put some effort to make it nice but it must not be in the expanse of much performance.
Procedure:
Procedure to use this kitchen is in Post #2 :
Brief information on cooking:
The reference of cooking is in Post #3 (will be posted soon):
ROM by JackWater:
Any ROM uploaded by JackWater will be in Post #4 :
General information:
I put this kitchen up is for user who need to customize their Rhodium ROM with quite latest built. I will try to update/respond to this thread and kitchen as much as possible. There are a lot of better ROM out there by our senior member. This one will be another option for the community.
Currently, I use the Rhodium at daily basis. As such I will be able to replicate the bug if report. I believe there is still some minor bug due to the build itself. Any constructive comment and bug report is welcome.
Personal thank to:

Procedure of using this kitchen.
A) Quick start guide for cooking first rom from the kitchen
Download the kitchen
Unpack the kitchen file into a hard disk directory with simple path (e.g. c:\xda\). Avoiding using complicated path with directory name containing "spacebar" (replace it with underscore), to prevent complication.
Double-click Erviuskitchen.exe until "new ervius Visual bepe's Kitchen Version 1.8.2" show up.
Select Device "RHODIUM"
Select EXT Build "21854"
Select XIP Build "23075"
Select SYS Build "23075"
Check "Real WM 6.5 AKU"
Click button "Create"
Stay cool and wait to see any error code being throw out.
Note:
Expected error code:
No ''SVN'' folders present... => Is ok
Error unloacking folder if it ever show => it is ok so long NBHUtil.exe runs and create the "ruu_signed.nbh" file in "RELEASE_RHODIUM" directory.
Test status:
This kitchen has been tested many rounds by JackWater in Win XP SP3 with 20Gb free harddisk space, before uploading.

Confirmed bug:

My procedure of using the kitchen come a bit slow... It is there now.
I have just updated the procedure in Post #2, you may check whether the setting of the ervius kitchen is the same as the procedure.
See whether the run time error persisted. Thanks for reporting.
Thank you Jack
Thanks a lot! I'd like to learn a little bit about ROM cooking and here seems to be a good start.

I believe this problem should be isolated case on your pc if the procedure is followed and the kitchen is fresh from extraction.
Remember to put it under simple directory with no spacebar for the directory name.
The kitchen should works.
I couldn't help to diagnose the problem without being provided with more information.
Please attach the build log.
pls help i have attached the log
kitchen seems to work pretty good. i was able to build a rom excluding the manila and some of the htc stuff like notifications. however i am having a weird deal where i set the background with my image and it only shows on the chome screen and not in all windows it shows the stock background. I used to see this when manila was loaded but have not seen this on a 6.5.1 rom. is there something i can disable that will allow my image to be everywhere for the background?

Glad to hear that it works for you.
For manila 3d, the background for Home can be changed to any wall paper by changing wallpaper at Setting Tab of manila (not the Chome setting). This is method doesn't cook it into the rom.
For cooking it into ROM you need to edit the following 4 files of manila:
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
These are encrypted files. You need tool like cfc_gui.exe to convert it into png and convert back after finish. I have not found out the exact format/size of image inside the file. So far, I just did try and error method. For me, it only work when the original image pixel x,y size is maintained.
I heard that there is a tool to convert wallpaper of every tab of manila with single function. Let me know if you happen to find such tool. I may be able to figure out the method to do it the correct way.

The error is in these lines:
Implantxip & Payload Resizer v. 1.1 by ervius!!!
XIP: xip.bin not found!
XIP not Inserted!
Suspected path error.
Suggestion 1) to delete the entire kitchen and extract a fresh one from the download. Don't put it under "Desktop". Put it under say "c:\Rhodium\vk". Then follow the instruction closely.
Suggestion 2) to move the entire kitchen to the suggested directory as in 1).
Hope this help. Good luck.
FlyFire ROM 23075 is here

yeah i curious why this is doing this since i exclude manila when i built the rom. using on a rom with titanium only the background carries to all windows of the rom.
do you plan on making a 23081 kitchen?
i love kitchens vs just a prebuilt rom. i like to leave out a lot of fluff. i am very happy wit this kitchen thus far. thank you for the efforts!
Hey thanks for the Kitchen - sure did make it easier to build a Rom, also I've successfully been able to get a basic 23081 build completed using your kitchen and Da_G's release work (to bad for the Microsoft Suppression)
Thanks for the awesome work!
FYI
Built Using:
Windows 7 Install (RTM VL Edition) Fully Updated OS
Athlon XP 64 3200 With 2.5 GB of Memory
1st Build was with Your Kitchen nothing disabled, using your steps - Build Successful and Flashed. (Please Note: Windows Vista and Windows 7 users have to right click and run as administrator for ErviusKitchen.exe)
2nd Build was with Your Kitchen apps disabled for Clean Install - Build Successful and Flashed.
3rd Build was with Your Kitchen, some of your apps, OEM, and then 23081 Build - Also Successful and Flashed
