cannot extract

This is my first time at this and I am stuck on step 1. when I try to extract a downloaded ROM with DumpRom I am told to make sure I place RUU_signed.nbh in the hypercore/extract/source folder. I am doing this but when I hit enter I get the error "there is no RUU_signed.nbh in the Core/extract/source folder. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to use a 6.1 rom I am going to try a 6.0 file and see if it works.

Noob help please??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello All,

I've been trying to fumble through some cooking and i keep getting stuck on the dump process:

RUU-signed.nbh ---(*NBHExtract)---> OS.nb ---(NBSplit)---> OS.nb.payload -->

--(ImgfsFromNb)---> imgfs.bin ---(ImgfsToDump)---> 'dump' directory

ok NBHextract -hermes ruu-signed.nbh to the new pdaviet build works but then when i get to the ImgfsFromNb command i get overlap errors and then recmod.exe crashes constantly.. A coworker of mine suggested to try the nbsplit with the kaiser switch but now after it dumps to a bin file the bin file is 0kb.

What am i missing?

I tried prepare_imgfs.exe on the -kaiser os payload file and came out with a imgfs_raw_data.bin but now when i try ImgfsToDump on the rawbin it crashes.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I know it i can dump a older build but i've been trying on the newer builds.

sorry for my noobishness

Aye sir, it does, i totally appreciate your kitchen and it runs good, i understand 6.1 has some differences with your kitchen but i'm just wondering if in my infinite noobishness you would still have any suggestions on how to dump this 6.1 rom? I understand your kitchen isn't working with it yet but anything you can suggest would be appreciated.

Thanks and hope things are good in school,

P.S. I've tried posting this same question in bepe's 6.1 kitchen thread and nothing yet. and the errors i'm getting is from using his updated tools. ;)

Error, Last status: "Creating shadow order file..." External component has thrown an exception.

Is the error I get after I try to build my OS. Dump ROM has not thrown any errors, nor did it tell me anything is missing. I am using Binky11's latest rom as my base if it helps anything. I have added my own packages as I found them within these forums.

I am a complete newb at this cooking thing and about to throw in the towel and use non-custom to me roms as it's proving to be more of a pain than anything lol. I have read and searched and read some more multiple times and still don't seem to get the swing of things.

Thanks for any help in advance.

------------------------

EDIT:

Ok got that hashed out, apparently I wasn't watching what packages I moved into the OEM folder before the build and put copies of OEM_APPS and other OEM_* folders from another rom. I removed those and all went well until the dreaded "Error last status: "Creating initflashfiles.dat..." Component has thrown an exception". Again, I'm confussed and have tried to figure it out. I read about a corrupt initflash file, moving missing files, etc. Again, DumpROM told me of NO missing files regardless how many times I've tried opening the dump folder on its own, I could even package the files and again no mention of missing files. Again, forgive my newbness. I hate even asking without trying to figure it out or find an answer, but I'm totally lost now. No matter what ROM I try, I seem to run into this initflash issue.

Thanks in advance again.

How to cook Athena ROMs?

Hi everybody.

Found this thread while looking for kitchens for the Athena. I've also found out that some users used this kitchen for their own Athena ROMs.

But as I can see, an entry "device=ATHENA " in device.txt would lead to nothing because in other batch files (like setttings.txt) there's no jump point for it.

Is anybody able to help?

Stop: While using the search might I found the solution :) Sorry for disturb.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
You should be just fine, just change the device name and start cooking.

Sorry no, and i won't add that.

I am working on a program that will automaticaly generate your packages from a .cab file ...but until and if i finish it ... time will tell

And under your name it says "Senior Member" so why don't you prove that's true

and please make use of the "Edit" button ...it's your friend ;)

* Note that i don't own a Hermes

This is how i do it for the HTC Wizard :

-open the EXT ROM image.nb with winimage , copy the Config.txt to desktop , edit it acordingly (in order that no programs start at first boot, i delete all cab references from the config.txt .. and i will leave a blank one ..

) ...not even necessary to delete cabs if you do that...and that's it...

But i don't know for the Hermes....you should read the Wiki...this stuff must be there somewhere
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vbguru613:
I dont mean delete after i flashed already. I mean so i can merge the free space of the Extrom to actual storage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
Man, i don't think that's possible yet...

The extra storage space you get is from the new imgfs .... that's what i know
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vbguru613:
Well then i would like to say THANK YOU i have successfully created my first rom and i have 63.11 total storage with 60.41 available.

This tool is extremely easy and POWERFUL!!!!!

I think i am gonna be addicted to kitchen:)

Great Work!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
Thx, glad that you didn't made any errors and that you are happy :D

If you want to explore little more , i suggest checking the "Optimise" feature in "Extra" folder

Id doesn't work very well for ".dll's" but for the ".exe" is pretty good ..

I suggest testing optimised files prior cooking the rom.

That would give you even more space and a little boost of performance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vbguru613:
Is there an tutorial for that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] djstegges:
are there any tutorials on how to edit or view the rom before cooking it... This is the first time i have looked into the rom making world...

D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vbguru613:
"Is there an tutorial for that?"

Not on how to use it but to use the outcome into the Kitchen.

Can i use it for The Office exe's?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
Basically you take the "exe" you want to optimise, put it in "original" folder and start "optimise" ...it will display progress and when finish, you'll still have the original file in "original" folder and the optimised exe in the "optimised" folder...then you have to move them back...what tutorial .. lol

You take the exe, optimise it and put it back :P

From what i know , yes you can use office exe's and i tryed with powerpoint and from 2.4 MB if i remember correct it gave me a 800KB exe that worked

I suggest to test the optimised files on the device before you include them in the rom .... good luck

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tadzio:
Yes, that is correct. The extra space space you get is the one MS set aside for Windows Update. Theoretically it should be possible to merge Storage and Extended ROM (on a Hermes), but I haven't managed to find the place where the maximum end address for Storage is defined. That is set to the beginning of the Ext ROM, so WM refuses to expand Storage past this address, even if the partition table is correctly patched.

So, the additional Storage you get by running my tool chain has nothing to do with Ext ROM.

Cheers

tadzio

I got over 400 downloads and only 1 review ...

Any problems, suggestions ?

Should i delete it ?....c'mon people ...:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
Downloaded it and am partway through trying it out - interrupted by birth of second child and illness.

Looks like a good start but some tutorials re actually cooking the roms would be good. Did get a bit lost once we got to Bepe package tools etc, but probably just me. I do get your point about not cooking first, but hey, I could split down a rom and put it back together again before - I want to make some simple changes....maybe customise the settings, or add in the odd program. (or remove them). Maybe a little more background to some of the process would be nice, even if we don't strictly need to know.

Am struggling to get far with the web site also. Is there anything hermes related or does the Wizard stuff all apply.

Overall however this is an excellent attempt to simplify and make the cooking process available to more people (And so thank you, please continue along these lines) - all too often questions from wannabe chefs are answered with RTFW

Or, also, there are notes how to split it down, but then you are told to use bepe's package tools, with no guidance as to what that means....

Well, you wanted feedback - my headache is back so have to go, but thanks again for your effort - it was just the post I was looking for.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] djstegges:
I like the idea of cooking my own rom but a bit more infrmation would be really nice...

Any news on the website? I cant get to it.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] peezy:
I agree. I have dl'ed and it seems like a great tool. I myslef have no prob taking apart a rom and putting it back together. I was able to to that without your kitchen. My problem (which I think seems to be a general prob amongst intro chefs) is what to do between. I understand that cooking is somewhat of an art, and that our knowledge of unpacking/packing is somewhat mechanical. But It would be great if you (or any helpful/non-RTFW chefs) could address the following with some simple step-by-step examples:

1. Changing settings

2. Adding/Removing programs

3. Creating cabs to implement this

I have not spent much time on your kitchen, but I stay up on the threads. I could take some time to gather all of this information from searching/wiki, but if you are looking for input and suggestions on your kitchen, this would be a huge asset. If we could make cooking a little bit less of a 'black art', I think members like myself would be more inspired to take the time to cook and publish our own roms.

Anichillus this is an great kitchen, I am using constantly, don't delete it, if you have 800+ downloads it is being used, no comments usually equals no problems as you can see from other sites.

I have followed the tutorial by the book but i am still not able to see the stuff i should be able to.

I am unable to find the start menu editing part and the registry editing.

I have dumped the faria customized rom. got the sys folder with the files but the OEM file has nothing in it.

thanks

D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anichillus:
The start menu, as well as many other things you set up in the "initflashfiles.dat" As well , when making packages, you write the addresses in an initflashfiles.txt.

For editing the registry settings, use the "default.hv" and "user.hv" convert them into "*.rgu" , edit them and then convert them back into *.hv

Also many of the registry entryes are dictated by the *.rgu files which you can find in almoust all packages. So when you create your own package, that has some registry entryes..just create an txt document, add the registry values, and save it as "unicode" then save it as YOUR_UUID.rgu

The UUID is a number something like 05353faa21323- 1231231....

Anyway .. you generate those at THIS ADDRESS (coose "RANDOM")

You will have to create an UUID.dsm file which is an new txt document saved as YOUR_UUID.dsm

I cannot tutor all things that you must do in a kitchen. There are some things that you must learn on your own...like i did and many others before me and on this forum

I can only say that study and compare kitchen structure, and use GOOGLE, cos it's your best friend.

And thanks for your reviews, i hope i opened some roads with this...

You have all tools that you need to use in order to cook and make your own roms, the only thing you must do is learn to use them.

Good luck and i hope hearing of new roms :D

also people faria builds his roms different as you see you will only get 1 package that has everything in. if you where to use package tool on black or lvsw you would see what package tool is all about but farias are funky as in he only uses 1 package that has everything in it.

You have a package without a *.dsm file. Or better you have a package with 2 *.dsm files.

Package = Folder inside SYS or OEM ...or at least i call them that way...

Do a search on the whole kitchen and see where you have 2x dsm files ....then i would suggest making another package inside OEM folder, name it as you like, but don't use spaces ..then move there one of the dsm files...but check first that there isn't any rgu files with the same UUID (the long name 0324fdsf-424234....) ...if there is...i'd suggest moving the one that doesn't have a rgu ...or if both have, move the dsm and the rgu in the newly created folder in OEM

Then run build again and it should work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jwzg:
It's funky, but it is the way it's done by HTC. Most (not all, obviously) people want MMS, Camera, Midlet manger et.al. in their ROM anyway. They don't have packages for each of those apps. in the OEM directory. It's not the best way, I know, but it is what it is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] avengerpenguin:
Thanks for your help, found 2 dsm files, neither of which had a rgu with the same uuid. So I just moved the smallest of the 2 out, from memory it was only around 1k and the other was approx 64k. I assume that this is ok as the rest of the build process has completed fine.

Now is there anyway to test the rom thorugh an emulator etc first, or do I just have to bite the bullet and flash it?

And what are the implications if I have done something wrong? I am on spl 2.10, does that mean I can just flash another working rom over the top should the worst happen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
thats the wonderful thing about having spl 2.10 if you **** up something and the rom won't boot jut reflash. I have done it about 100 times now playing with different roms

I'm using the dopod ROM posted in the forum modified using the Tadzio' chain tool to gain more free space...it has been working very fine and stable...now, I've modified this already modified ROM adding office 2007 from the 3Des Rom... the building process was OK, no errors, no bad block and the nbh file has been generated....

the only way to check if it is working is fire up the ROM into the TyTN...????

the 1.40 Olipro bootloader will help prevent a bricked device...or help to flash again a working ROM???

Or should I go ahead and hope that:

1) the new ROM works fine...or

2) The Kaiser hits the stores :p
