Anyone managed to successfully cook a ROM?

I keep seeing the HTC boot screen and it hangs there. Doesn't boot the OS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] phsnake:
how to use it for Universal

1. Download perfect Rom Koch from Dutty http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297257&highlight=koch

2. download HTC64 Extended ROM Tool & imgfs_tools

3. convert nk.nbf 2 nk.nb

4. run prepare_imgfs nk.nb -nosplit

5. run view_imgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin

6. somehow copy all filenames from dump directory to listimgfs.txt (except dirs and *.dsm) i use totalcmd

7. copy nk.nb to koch dir

8. make dir nk.nb

9. copy initflashes.dat, user.hv, default.hv & listimgfs.txt to nk.nb dir

10. run koch, select rom nk.nb, after that it should tell U that proj. already exist or smth like that

11. do what U need 2 do

12. compile-output is nk.nb

13. run prepare_imgfs nk.nb

14. run make_imgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin -nosplit

15. encode nk.nb 2 nk.nbf

15. flash

btw. i didnt try 2 flash rom yet, i was only curios if i can make it working. If anyone will try keep me posted

PS. i hope Dutty U are not against this post

PPS: it should work for other device that uses nosplit switch in prepare_imgfs

Rom Cooking: how to add softwares ?

I understood well how to cook a ROM (I added files, cooked the ROM, everything working well. Happy)

Btw Koch is just excellent and easy to use

I understood also how to add some softwares by including them in the external ROM. Working well. Happy

However, in order to spare some memory, I'd like to understand how you integrate some applications in the ROM directly ? Do you just add the files, look around for the registry settings & files added in the Windows folders , and tweak this in the ROM (Knowing that you may miss some, which make sthe work fastidious and you have to try, and retry, etc...)

Or there is a better, cleaner way to do ?

I am trying to cook a ROM for WM6 on X01HT to have soemthing directly usable by users in Jpaan and would just need a bit of help to do this properly

Thanks for your help !!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] phsnake:
mine howto: flash the working rom(base), save ur regs.install app U want 2(there are 2 possibilities-change the cab 2 install to windows dir-%CE2%-u wont need to edit initflashes.dat- if it doesnt create sudirs), or install to device. save reg again compare regs. add regs to rom, add files 2rom, make apropriate changes in initflashes.dat, compile, flash. or if its possible get regsettings from cab, but developers often use setup.dll 2 make regchanges&i didnt fount the way how 2 extract them there from.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
alot of windows mobile applicatios dont need registry entires, they will be created when you start the app the first time.

phsnake, i really appreciate your effort in getting it to work on the universal! i'm sure we can work on direct support for these devices together :) maybe i'll be in the irc later today

can you tell me if that will work too:

1. Download perfect Rom Koch from Dutty
2. download HTC64 Extended ROM Tool & imgfs_tools
3. convert nk.nbf 2 nk.nb
4. run prepare_imgfs nk.nb -nosplit
// skip 5. run view_imgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
// skip 6. somehow copy all filenames from dump directory to listimgfs.txt (except dirs and *.dsm) i use totalcmd
7. copy nk.nb to koch dir
8. make dir **FIXED TYPO:** Project-nk.nb
// changed step: 9. copy imgfs_raw_data into the project-nk.nb dir
10. run koch, select rom nk.nb, after that it should tell U that proj. already exist or smth like that
// new step 10.a: it will create all required files automatically :)
11. do what U need 2 do
12. compile-output is nk.nb
13. run prepare_imgfs nk.nb
14. run make_imgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin -nosplit
15. encode nk.nb 2 nk.nbf
15. flash
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qooqoo:
great tool.

i have a suggestion, can it sort files by extended file name and file size? that will be more easy to find a file or a groupe of files. or u can add a search fonction.:D

thanks a lot man!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
a search function is a good idea :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] richy240:
Not me... Mine keep hanging at a white screen immediately after the second hardware boot screen. Anyone else see this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
even if you didnt modify the filesystem? just load a rom, compile it, flash it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] richy240:
I did that. Same results. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] the-equinoxe:
If this^^ would work for an Universal, It would also work for a wizard :)

(and with the -nosplit it would work for some others)

Would be nice to see it integrated into the program ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] echoz:
Mine only happens when I modify the initflashfiles.dat. This also happened in previous version of hermes rom koch.

Cooking via the Vanilla ROM as the source ROM fyi.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
i will look into it this weekend.. stay tuned for a rerelease :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
This is scarry

Just a question (I also want to modify the initflashfiles.dat): in such a case how do you manage to reflash the ROM ? (Didnt see any steps on how to do that in this case)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
On the other hand, if I want to suppress some applications, I just need to delete the relevant files and clean the registry ?

Very precisely I am trying to remove Arcsoft MMSComposer from LVSW ROM. I live in Japan and it doesnt work with Softbank's network - even worse it messes up with the only software working

What do you think ? (Sorry I am trying to learn, so my questions are naive... Once I'll be higher in the leraning curve I hope to contribute more to the global work !)

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] echoz:
Can't wait for it... I highly suspect its the vanilla ROM though.. not entirely sure. Don't know if anyone else managed to cook a good one that boots fine.

uh. I just flash the original vanilla rom and everything's back to normal. its not a brick technically because its OS related, so it can be fixed by flashing a "good" OS back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
yeah... you shouldnt be able to produce a brick with the koch.. the worst case is that you its stuck booting windows ce, i.e. just reflash ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:
Thanks :)

Your tool is actually incredibly useful for starters like me !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
After I edited the default registry and the user registry...saved them..but compiled the rom. convert it back to to NBH. Then I open it again, try to verify if the registry were correct..but can't open them...I decided to flash it onto my hermes and see what happened...guess what? only the HTC screen comes up..I will have to flash it again with the OS only rom to fix it. Anyone have any ideas on how to edit the registry?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jasjamming:
Hi dutty,

Hope you are recovering well and thanks for the great tool. I used it to create windows mobile black 1.1.

I think I may have found a bug in koch in regards to booting.

Some feedback from my ROM has found that there are boot problems when certain spb software is installed. I tested this and they were correct. So i decided to go a step further and test this with another rom.

I installed the LVSW rom as was posted, installed SPB pocket plus and everything was fine boots as normal.

I then decompiled the LVSW ROM, made no changes, recompiled it and flash it. INstalled SPB pocket plus and everything was fine, boots.

Then I decompiled the LVSW rom, and made a couple slight changes to the init (renamed some shortcuts). Then i compiled it again and flashed it. I then installed SPB pocket plus.

Now the funny bit, there are boot problems, the device wont boot most of the time, its either stuck on the SPL boot splash or hangs on the WM6 splash.

Really strange, there seems to be a problem with the init definition file, shogunmark was also experiencing this when he was doing some cooking.

Also, someone mentioned earlier that when u decompile a NB, not all files show up in the window. I can confirm this and this is maybe why there are boot problem - maybe not all wm6 file are cooked which are supposed to be.

I hope this feedback helps for your next release.

Take care,

Ronny
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
thanks for your feedback ronny.. the fact that not all files show up in the dialog is not really important.. only added/removed files will be changed in the OS file system.. i will look into the matter today.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
if there is a tiny problem with the regsitry, it cant be compiled and you wont be able reopen it.. if that happens you shouldnt be cooking, because it wont work... just browse to your project folder and delete the registry hive files inorder to fix the problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bernd.k:
Hi dutty, first of all I again want to thank you for your great rom kocher.

i want to do the following:

i want to cook a rom. ;) ok base should be the german wm6 rom. and than i want to install all programs i use. like phonealarm, pocketplus etc.

perfect would be if its possible to tipe the contacts in the rom, so that when i make a hardreset, i don't have to do anything. contacts, programs everything is installed allready. unfortunately i have no idea how to do it. i extracted a cab file with cabmanager and put the files in the rom. what else have i to do?

when i install a programm to my trion, it writes something in the registry. how can i save the registry to a file, that i can edit it on my pc, copy everything and put it into the rom kocher in my own rom?

would be great if you could help me. and what about your mini howto? would be very usefull! maybe you could make it in german, would be much easier!

greetz

Bernd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
hi bernd,

you can use a registry editor for the pocketpc to do that, resco registry supports exporting the registry to a file.. then you can add those changes to your registry using the koch.

i'm currently busy with a new release, here is the changelog:

< 11.03.2007 - v0.99 released >

-fixed non-booting roms :(
-fixed toolchain: function listimage contents bug: not all files are listed
-buttons are enabled after the rom/project has been loaded and not when its selected
-buttons are greyed out when compiling a rom until its done

< 18.03.2007 - v0.99.2 pre-release >

once i have released this i will write a mini tutorial
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] echoz:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lpsi2000:
@dutty,

Welcome back, hope all is well.

For your next release, may be not the immediate one due today but I am thinking it would be nice if you could include some of the features presented by tadzio's toolchain.

Just a thought...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
which features are you talking about in particluar? i have seen tadzio's toolchain and it's pretty cool.. kudos tadzio!

but my tool works in a totally different way. you don't have to dump the contents of each rom to work with it. you can delete files, add files, extract files, edit files and all without dumping it - i think thats a better approace. but i'm sure you can argue about that. tadzios toolchain assumes that you are already working with a total dump..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lpsi2000:
The only feature I would like to see is the provision of addtional storage by using the left over space not used by the OS.

I know your tool works differently, but I figured it would be something to think about.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bernd.k:
Hi dutty,

looking good, patiently waiting for new release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
The registry editing tool built into the program is still not working exactly like it should be. I have to manually use ahlok_hk's aChef Rom tools and mamaich ImGFS tools to edit the registry and add/delete the files. The only option I use with Koch's program is to convert NB image to NBH, then flash the cooked rom onto my Hermes...My first cooked rom with built-in Ce-Star booted all the way:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
no.. its not that.. the registry editing works fine.. the cause was my image creation, it didnt work in all cases.. but i have fixed that :)

check this out, a romlayout editor.. no need to manually edit the initflashfiles file

edit: update, editor takes shape, now lists everything in the initflashfiles.dat.. wow that was alot of work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] lpsi2000:
Oh yeah, that is sweet. This is going to be a great release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
This is way too cool....can't wait to try it out. Looks like we can move files and add apps easily with this tool. Way better than the bulky manual editing the initflash. Thanks for all your great programming work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Alcibiade:

Hi dutty,

maybe I'm blind or something, but i don't find the option in resco registry to export the registry to a file. only import :( could you help me finding the point?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
sure.. i think you have to click on a folder in the treeview and then you can export (tap and hold i think for the popup menu)

more progress on the layout front: http://www.bilderhosting.info/pics/image25245.JPG
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bernd.k:
YES!!! Thank you! i searched and searched....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tadzio:
Don't forget that you cannot move files with initflashfiles.dat. You can only copy them, which makes them be in ROM twice physically (which is a shame - why didn't MS use some concept similar to UNIX symlinks?), wasting quite some memory. Take, for example, the ringtone files. They exist both in \Windows and \Windows\Rings, and in the LVSW edition they alone take up 1.1 MByte...

So, personally I will try to avoid the use of initflashfiles.dat as much as I can. It's good for shortcuts and other very small files, but not for apps, ringtones, images etc.

Cheers

Daniel
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
That sucks.. i didn't know that. aber danke für den tipp ;) komm doch mal in den irc channel irc.freenode.net/#xda-devs

hmm maybe there is a move command that we dont know of... like Directory("XXX"):-MoveFile("xx","xxx")

edit: you were wrong tadizo... i couldnt believe that microsoft is so dumb and dipped around in the PB docs:

not sure if that is entirely true.. but i really cant believe that ms would be soo stupid

little progress: http://www.bilderhosting.info/pics/image25464.JPG

Hi dutty,

are there any news? I've tried to make a rom, but it stuck on htc bootscreen, and I don't know why. Tried bepe's rom kitchen, and there it booted up, but it didn't copy the files from windows to programme, as i modified the initflashfiles.txt

So I wanted to ask if there is a newer version available or when it will be released!

Hi,

tried to edit LVSW-20070320_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.23.0.0_OS_only_More_space-OS.nb with ROM Koch 0.99a but it gives an Error after selecting Souce-Rom (.nb).

Writing missing hv-files?

Another error when opening the WM5-GermanO2 1.25-Windows.nb

2.05.255.1 AKU3.3 ROM is working properly.

Do you know this problem?

Is it because it's edited with tadzios new more space tool?

Aren't WM5-ROMs not supported?

@dutty: The new ROM Koch seems to get the best thing i've ever seen for devices! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
it will be released this week, or this weekend.. not sure :)

pappl, use tadzios tool after you have created the rom.. the koch uses the freespace inside a rom, tadzios doesnt leave any freespace at all..

final init flash editor.. supports quick-searching
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jcespi2005:
Same issue. I think cause the new tool that deletes reserved space for windows update in WM6 we have tested. I run the this util with WM5 2.11 and works fine.

Perhaps can modify the package with WM5 and WM6 versions with imgfs tool to provide use with both version.

Thanks all for this ussefull tool.
