KaiserKitchen - BuildOS fails building boot hive.

I've got an error but I can't find anything useful with Google. It is 8.00am though and I'm looking to go to bed now so please don't get too mad if I missed something obvious :mad:

KaiserKitchen - BuildOS fails building boot hive.

---BuildosX-log--------------

Microsoft (R) RGUComp Version 1.0.000

Registry file processor and hive builder.

Copyright (C) 2004 Microsoft Corporation All Rights Reserved.

built: Nov 19 2004 15:17:13

BuildBootHive: (RGUComp) !ERROR unable to mount hive file ".\boot.hv"

wmain: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed building BOOT hive

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

I did stumble upon another error earlier (failed to load a dll at some point...) as a result of trying to run the applications whilst only having .NET Framework 1.1 so I've now installed 2 and 3 as well.

So,

I'm running a fresh install of windows XP, with SP2 and .NET framework 3 and I downloaded kaiser kitchen V5.1 yesterday courtesy of Alex's wiki (thank you v.much Alex)

I've got an ex-Orange Kasier so I downloaded the HTC cabs, some radios, some extra OEM progs and extracted everything except the extra OEM progs (dunno exactly what to do with them yet, assumed they weren't vital right now) to "c:\kaiserkitchen" with 7zip, then I ran KAISERKITCHEN.CMD, pressed c and then b, clicked BuildOs, noticed that my screen deviated slightly from the tutorial on the wiki but clicked play anyway and now here I am!

Hope you can help,

David.

edit --

-- The problem was Micro$oft Window$ somehow misplaced msvcr71.dll from C:\windows\system

-- solution was to replace it!

when you say discontinued because lack of contributing .. what means that contributing ?

i started now to cook things ... and will love to use last stuff in my roms ... please update :)

i dont know if i will share my cooked rooms in this forum.. maybe not because my native language is not so popular to share to the public...

but if i intent to share to the public what type of "contributing" i have to do back ?

sry my english and thanks for your work :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Spot on matthewpapa! Just wanted to add that the base ROM does not include PTT and the buttons are available for reassignment in the button control panel.

Hidden Proxy

Did you strip out enable/diable proxy settings?

Thanks,

Greg
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
The proxy is enabled in the base ROM. The cabs to disable/enable are not. You can always cook them back in :)

Hope this helps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:
Well, I have discovered another small issue. After cooking a fairly lean ROM, I tried to install Windows Live Search via the cab from Microsoft.

To avoid confusion, this is the free Live Search program from MS that provides GPS mapping / directions / aerial photos / gas prices / movie theater info / etc. and has speech recognition built in (it is not Windows Live).

The cab reports that it installs successfully, but when I try to run the program, I get a certificate error. I get this same error even if I try invoking directly from the exe file. WTF?

Now, I noticed I got the same issue when trying to cook in the ClearVue PDF package from mattk_r's Pandora's kitchen for the Hermes. All of the other packages I robbed from Pandora worked fine with this ROM, including Pocket XPDF that I used as a quick replacement for ClearVue.

What am I missing? Is there a reg edit that I need to make to allow these few problem programs to run? Or is there something not getting cooked in that is creating this issue with only a couple of programs? All other cabs I install run flawlessly (TCPMP, iGuidance, XM, MobiTV, Total Commander, 1-Calc). Why these two oddballs?

Can anyone help?

Here is the Live Search cab for anyone willing to test on their device with a cooked ROM using Alex's base. Thanks in advance....I'm scratching my head...

NETCF

Did you not cook in NETcf 2.0?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:
No...I didn't. Is this my issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gregross:
Yes

Windows Live requires version 2.0 or later (3.5 works) of NETCF.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:
Thanks for the tip. I just checked my old ROMs cooked for the Hermes and discovered that I did include netCF 2.0 in those builds.

Off to the kitchen to re-cook with netCF included. I will report back.

I wonder if this also was the problem with ClearVue PDF? My answer is a flash away, I guess, lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:
Problem solved by cooking in netCF 2.0. Thanks, Greg.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gregross:
No problem

NETcf 3.5

Alex,

Have you found a netcf 3.5 package that works? - I have tried a couple and one causes consistent Screen of Death and the other doesn't properly cook in - could also be something I am doing wrong ....

Comparing your Cooked Rom to My cooked ROM??

_Alex_,

I have followed your tutorial to cook the ROM (easy stuff to follow, thanks for that). I downloaded the easytousescripts, packages, folders and radio and extracted them to the kitchen folder as specified. Everything builds up like a charm.

Just as a first test burning experience I left the defaults that were checked when I added the ROM to the kitchen and didn't change a thing. Once I cooked it and flashed it to my device I found that a lot of the AT&T garbage is still there, it even ran the installing AT&T script junk on first boot up.

The only things enabled are:

All Registry Tweaks

Camera

Carrier Upgrade: Comm

Carrier Upgrade: Configure Wifi

Carrier Upgrade: Extra_RIL

Carrier Upgrade: Power_Service

NetCF 2.0

Carrier Upgrade: Cingular Proxy.

I then flashed your ROM AT&T 1.60.502.3 Cooked ROM with 1.27.14.09 radio to compare and found that this ROM is ultra clean and was what I was hoping for in the ROM I cooked.

Am I missing something? Like I said I didn't change any defaults. Is there something that I should uncheck? I was hoping my ROM with the defaults would have been the same as your ROM. Or is the ROM that you provided pre cooked different that what should be expected? I would really love to have the one you cooked as the default ROM to start with.

Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:
jorryn:

Yep, I saw the same thing. I suggest you move AT LEAST the OEM_ATT_160_ATT_BRANDING folder out of the Packages folder. For some reason, BuildOS will cook in this folder even if it is not checked.

I ultimately created a Removed Packages folder, and moved EVERY non-used package into it before cooking my current ROM. This assures that something doesn't get added in by mistake.

I guarantee this will produce a ROM identical to Alex's

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jorryn:
Sorry, worked fine on mine. Justed cooked my own ROM with _Alex_'s UltraClean using the default's a couple addins and QuickGPS (not that I think QuickGPS is needed). TomTom is working fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slimshadee:

I strongly suggest HardSPL; I did.

I suspect that since your carrier is ATT, this ROM should install fine, but why take the chance? You can always remove it if needed...

Thanks,

I do have mine HardSPL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] teejaylentz:
Great Job!

I was sick of the bloatware and the apparent "audio" chopping mentioned on another thread on this forum. Installing HardSPL and then flashing the "Clean" ROM was a snap - had everything going in about 15 minutes. This gave me the 160+MB of storage and fixed the audio glitch issue as well!

Thanks a lot for stripping everything down and building this clean ROM!

Question

Nooooob Alert. Currently running at t 1.6 and hate the bloatware also i have a bad battery drain issue. If i just install your clean rom can i then add programs i do like (i.e. mobitv) without cooking my own rom. (like cab installs) Also did you guys notice the ftp not working this morning? I guess my question is really will this clean rom work perfectly for making calls and connectin to 3g and all that good stuff so that i can then only add what i really want added like tomtom, iguidance, mobitv, siriuswm5

Just a quick thanks to Alex for this clean base...

Hi Folks,

I've just added/updated:

SOD (sleep of death) / XIP fix for cookers (see post #3)

NetCF & SQLMobile 3.5 OEM packages (see post #1)

ROM w/ SOD/XIP fix + NetCF&SQLMobile 3.5 + SmartDialing (as requested by Ericc191)

ROM w/ all fixes plus a ton of multimedia stuff (this is what I personally use)

Enjoy.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Wow, didn't realize that the SOD/XIP fix increases storage too. Glad to hear that you like it :D

Rom runs fast but i lost all sound, no ring tones no clicks and such what do i need to get the sounds back? Do i need to add back a file i over looked?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] christonge:
Which radio rom are you using? You need to use this ROM with the 1.27.14.09 posted on the first page....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I'm going to assume that he was flashing and not cooking :) But if he was cooking, you're absolutely right. :D To make the AT&T ROMs n00b-proof, I cook in the 1.27.14.09 radio...

Both the UltraClean & Multimedia ROMs comes with one ring tone, the way it should be. This allows you to add ringtones that you like instead of the stuff that was put in by AT&T and Microsoft.

If you want hardware button and/or screen tap sounds, enable them in settings/personal/sounds & notifications.

Sound works fine for me in both the AT&T ROMs. So if enabling the sounds doesn't work, try to re-flash the entire ROM again.

No File Explorer Icon?

I just loaded the following ROM:

_Alex_'s UltraClean ROM now with NetCF 3.5, SOD/XIP fix and SmartDialing [updated 12-15-07]

Did you intentionally leave File Explorer out? It wasn't anywhere in the program menu. It might make it hard for some people to navigate and install programs/cabs from their SD card if they do a hard reset away from their computer without some sort of file explorer.

Or am I just missing a different way of accessing it. I tried using the search looking up "fexplore" and that does not work. I know the file is there in the Windows directory as I found it after I loaded Resco Explorer (luckily I was able to find that on my SD card using the search function and running resco Explorer from there).

I noticed if I uppgraded my ROM to 1.27.14.09 before upgrading to the 1.6 ROM, then audio was not available. Just FYI for those ....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] goestoeleven:
When you say SmartDialer do you mean...

_Alex_,

Do your clean AT&T ROMs contain the HTC "Smart Dialing" program? This is what I prefer to use over the stock M$ smartdialer -- especially because it is easily skinnable (such as with ZombieNexus skins, which are compatible with the smartdialer).

It's not obvious from your language/pics if this is the case...

Can you confirm one way or the other?

Thanks!

WOW- from a Tilt Owner

So i have the flash bug now, to see which Tilt ROM, will be the Cleanest and Fastest for my base.

I was going to use the XDA 1.2 ROM, but you have updated this one to include many new extras (CF3.5, etc.).

And after a clean flash, I am seeing 163.72MB out of 166.53! Thats awesome.

the only problem is that my wife is tired of my spending all my spare time flashing my HTC. Maybe she is jealous :D

p.s.

Now I need to figure out how to install my CAB's as you removed Explorer.

Whoops, removed it in the Multimedia ROM and forgot to add back to UltraClean ROM. I've uploaded a fixed version with the icon added back in. If you don't feel like re-downloading, feel free to copy \windows\fexplore.lnk to \windows\start menu\programs\tools when connected to the computer...

MS Smart Dialing for now. Will consider that for future updates.

Should according to Taiseer999's post. I heard that it's PITA to setup, so thus far I've been unsuccessful. Still trying to get it to work in cab and OEM version, so I figured I'd just cook it in...

Your guess is as good as mine :D FWIW, I found the unlimited versions on this forum...

Hey, I've been reading XDA since I got my Kaiser in October, flashing ROMs on my HardSPL'd device whenever something slick comes out - I tried the BigStorage, but it locks up and I want something faster / more stable. So I read everything I can, followed the wiki letter for letter, and my kitchen is set up as clean as I can imagine. I'm on a newly reformatted XP machine with no garbage.

I decided to work with the UltraClean folders as a base, and took out every package that wasn't included in it (to a separate folder as a precaution) so that I would have a pristine, fast build for testing my platform. I pressed GO, a lot of things happened for a while and all seemed well, then..

I got the error:

'Error building boot.hv! (see into "BuildOsX-log.Txt")

Which followed,

Creating registry...
