the cab file is a simple way you install an app on your device. Just click on the cab and it should begin installation. Pay attention to where you are sending the cab on your device so that it is easy to find and just click and install. A Zip file is a compressed file or files. You must uncompress before you can install the cab. sometimes you will find the cab file inside the compressed zip file. Another format for compression is rar files. I use winrar to uncompress to desktop.
I strongly suggest that you read this forum as much as possible to learn as much as you can. Read the FAQ's and the WIKI. Also do research on your particular phone to learn its strenghts and weaknesses. There is lots to learn and you will have to do lots and lots and lots of reading. Don't get discouraged, just keep reading. There is a wonderful search feature as well to search for specific things. It takes a little getting use to; however, once you figure it out - how to use it efficiently, you will find things - answers - really easily. Some threads are really long and you will probably want to skip right to the end of the thread. _ Don't. Read the whole thread before posting. Some members get really frustrated with new commers who don't read before asking questions.
Good luck, have fun and remember - READ

I need help I'm new with the rom thing. so i donwload couple files to my G1. but everytime i tried to open a file it saids "PARSE ERRROR" There is a problem Parsin the package. i though it was because i donwload the file to my pc unzip them and place them in the memory card. then i erase them and download the zip file directly to my memorycard but i can't do anything. everytime i tried to open a file give me the same error. *** help please.
Sorry i don't know if this is the right place to ask for help but i really need it
You are posting in the wrong forum section. Thread has been reported.
The files you download usually don't need to be unpacked. Just rename them to update.zip and apply the updates through the recovery mode. Some recovery roms, such as Cyanogens or Amon_RAs, has an option of picking a specific .zip file, not called update.zip. Also most ROM builders provide MD5 sums of their ROMs so you can check yourself whether your download is corrupt or not. I suggest you trying to verifying that.
1. Your G1 is a Dream not a sapphire.
2. The development forums are for posting development threads. Any questions go into the Q&A forum.
3. Are you trying to flash a Hero based ROM? (I'm guessing you don't have the correct SPL.)
What types of files? are they roms?
Hi all... (sorry for my english)
I'm a noooooooooooooooooooob chef and i have some questions for you...
I cooked my first Rhodium ROM , but i have this problem:
When i tap on some program, i have an error message!!!
This error message tells me that you can not start the application because you can not find some components of the program, or you do not have a valid certificate...
PS: I think this is the same problem for which does not start the Sense 2.5!!!
I use "Rhodium Native WM6.5" (OEMXipKernel + os.nb.payload + romhdr.bin) with "buid 21864" (xip.bin + MSXIPKernel + SYS), and i have replaced in SYS folder NetCF2.0 with NetCF3.5 (i have moduled a cab file)...
I have tryed to use Leo EXT and Rhodium EXT, but i have the same problem!!! And i have the same problem also with NetCF2.0...
Where i wrong?
possible that no one can answer?
but I'm on XDA or not?
That error means that you are missing some dependencies. Use PE Explorer or Dependency Walker againt all exe and dll's in the package that you are having the errors on. You'll get a list of dll dependencies. Find out what packages have those dlls and include them in your rom.
Good luck.
either this or try opening the exe's from you're windows folder, this will tell you if you're shortcuts are bad.
if I understand correctly I have to check all .exe .dll and .dsm files? right?
dependencies defined in this files? and with the previous tools I can decipher the dipendencies?
Now I procure the tools ... thanks for the help ...
Well .. it seems that things are clearer now thanks to you ..
I used "Dependency Walker", and I looked the exe file of the EXT that does not work on my ROM... I realized that there are some missing .dll files that should be in the EXT folder called "files", but there does exist...
If I dumop the Shipped ROM where I took the EXT, I find them?

it's ok man!! head over to my kitchen thread: here. Download my kitchen and read the tutorial's on the first page...
Good work my friend.. your kitchen and your tutorial's are really useful for a noob chef like me...
Now I have one question... if I use "Depenadancy Walker" for open the .dll files inside the EXT package that I want to cook with my ROM, I understand that I need some .dll files to put in "files" folder of the EXT in question... at this point, I search the missing .dll files in "dump" folder and I find them in OEM folder...
the problem is this: if I follow the way to arrive at folder where are the .dll that I need, I can't find it... it's impossible to see the file.. I see only 4/5 white files called "S000", "S001", "S002", "S003", etc etc... but I don't find the .dll file that i need...
WHY????????????

First off... usually you need the entire EXT package that contains those dlls.
Second, the dlls that are directoried are actually modules. Leave them as is and include that EXT package in your ROM. You only need to recmod modules and convert to files "if" that package is giving you problems with platformrebuilder.
Third, Any package that you include from a dump, you need to look inside the initflashfiles.dat and see if there are any entries for the package you are including. You can either add those to your initflashfiles.dat or as I do, copy them and create the app.dat file for your EXT package.
Is there a guide to help noob cooks? I want to try getting into it, rather than just testing everyone else's, but I have no clue where to start.

There are a lot of thread. First thing you need to learn being a chef is know how to search. Use the link in my sign to search. Search for kitchen in this forum, and you will find tons of info. Read, keep reading, flash, keep flashing...thats the only way to cook a good ROM.
I think all the help given to the OP is what makes this forum...
I have searched, read, and tested my butt off on this so, I'm not posting without doing my own homework.
I'm looking for CURRENT documentation on how to create a standard update.zip file that simply copies a file into /system/foo/bar and chmods it.
All the links I've looked at seem to have old deprecated syntax on the update-script file, or the examples given simply do not work.
I do NOT want to download someone else's script-pak, windows app, or any other such thing that makes it for me.
As for signing, I'm completely comfortable signing using the SDK, although I'll probably take the easy route with ZipSigner/Signapktic running on the phone/tab now that I've discovered those.
Can someone please post a very simple howto?
Hello,
After so much time of no one figuring out how the bcm21533 overclocks, and after I examined the kernel sources and found nothing, I started thinking the override that blocks frequencies over 832mhz was outside of the kernel
So if you unzip a firmware, you'll find that BcmCP.img is the only file that is not "vanilla android" for so to say. And "Bcm" really suggests it's part of broadcom
I tried to extract or mount the file but I have no idea what filesystem it is
I think there might be a chance that this file might have an override because if you search 00b20c00 you get 2 matches. But you don't really know what's going on until you figure out how to extract BcmCP.img
So that's why I posted this thread. Maybe someone can figure out how to open this img file :victory:.
If no one does i'll still try to find it myself but I could use some help from people that know more than me about android
stupid question, i know....
but you know you have to use a linux distro?
Yes. I dont know what filesystem is it though
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
You need this to unpack :
[KITCHEN] Android Kitchen, v0.211 [Linux / Mac / Windows]
unpack it?
Did you manage to find how to unpack it?
I want to do the same thing.
