Still no luck. I dont know what im doing wrong.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ryncppr:
What exactly are you doing? Unload the KaiserKitchen into your C:/ drive. Use Alex's Kitchen to do this...once this is extracted you will only have two folders

1. BaseROM

2. Tools

Copy your .nbh file to the BaseROM folder. After you do this click the KaiserKitchen.cmd button.

WHen the black screen pops up...CLicke (e) for extract rom....

then click (1) as you only have the .nbh file....

THe process will start now and do not touch a thing. It should take anywhere between 5-10 minutes depending on your system.

The first message you get is Click Enter...trust me there is alot to still happen. Not until you get to the end and you click enter with the black screen close on its own.

At this point you will get several folders now...

BaseROM

OEM

SYS

ROM

Temp

Tools

At this point your ready to cook your own rom!!!

oh ok i get it

thannks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ryncppr:
What kitchen are you using???? Try the kasierkitchen_01_20_08 file. I tried to upload it but it says faild???

The reason your getting this error is because your ROM folder is missing the contents needed in the XIP folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bigchris:
Found this site and been flashing roms since I got my tilt last year. Wanted to try to make my own but running into issues. Here is what I do step by step

unpack kaiserkitchen_01-20-2008 to C:/

copied ROM, OEM and SYS folder from Alex v5.WMA61HTC.3.02.ROM

copied packages and created packages (with ones I wanted) and packages backup (with all)

I then start kaiser kitchen

I push c to cook

I push b to use tool

once it loads I go to BuildOS tab

Load ROM and I direct it to use c:\kaiserkitchen_1-20-2008 folder

at which point I get unhandled exception error

Could not find file 'c:\kaiserkitchen_01-20-08\ROM\OS.NB'

I searched the forums but not much luck only someone saying they worked around it.

Any ideas? I've tried deleting everything, redownloading and always same result. Thanks for any help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
try renaming kaiserkitchen_01-20-08 to kaiserkitchen, also, if that doesn't work, try downloading one of these official ROMs, deleting the OEM, ROM, and SYS in your kaiserkitchen folder, rename the nbh from the Base ROM you just downloaded, and put it in BaseROM. Then run KaiserKitchen.cmd, push e, then push a or 1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cunvus:
Jay . I figured it out!! Download .net framework and then download MSVCR71.dll or just do a search for it on your computer. then when u find it copy it and paste that file into C:\kaiserkitchen\tools
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bigchris:
thanks so far so good, I was able to extract a rom and get to the options to select my packages to install. I'll have to work on it some more later but farther than I've been before :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cunvus:
ok i might have missed the posting, but i did everything the tutorial said and was able to make the rom and flashed it just fine. but its wm6. how do i get it to wm 6.1?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
remove your OEM, ROM, and SYS folder, put an official htc windows mobile 6.1 in the BaseROM folder (should be a .nbh named RUU_signed.nbh), go to kaiserkitchen, push E, then push A.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cunvus:
Thank you! im trying it as we speak. now when the builder opens up do i point it to c:\kaiserkitchen ? or C:\kaiserkitchen\baseRom? ( after i extracted the rom of course )
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cunvus:
k i download an official 6.1 htc rom. i used kaiserkitchen and extracted it and then tried to make a rom with all the packages that i wanted and when i flashed it, it didnt have ne of the packages i wanted on it. do i have to dump that rom or what?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Knumb:
@ _Alex_-

I started cooking myself and it's very addicting. Is there a tut for deleting the "bloatware" or which files/folders that can be deleted without messing up the ROM (trial and error I presume)? BTW, I did a search but nothing really came up (need bepe's tool ans another I think..). I didn't just want to msg the other chefs and feel the wrath.....tia..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
haha man, feel the wrath ;)

Actually, there's not a very easy solution, but I tend to use my BaseCleaner more than others:

It works best on 3.29, and 3.28 ;)

Hope this helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Knumb:
thanks mbarvian. I will try that out. I looked at his folders and kind of tried to go that route (trial and error). I just wanted to get rid of the crap myself instead of always waiting for someone to do it for me. DOing the basics is the easy part....Now throwing out the garbage is the challenge...thanks again bud..

Where's the attached file in that link?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jmz:
So I went through the tutorial and got my first custom rom. So I ran through it again and selected my preferred packages. It is unusual for my rom file to be 90MB? Typically I see the ones on here around 50MB. Any comments on this? Thanks and great tutorial.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Johnster988:
Hey Alex, I followed all the steps that you specified and I have all the necessary files but when I type in C and then B into the command prompt, the packages screen does not pop up and it says file not specified. The obvious thing is that I don't have the files but I already checked that multiple times. So now I'm stumped. Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
yeah, what folders do you have in your kaiserkitchen folder?

Problems

Alright I am a noobie when it comes to cooking but I thought the tut was pretty simple, however any time i follow the tut I always get errors even if I follow it exactly and when I flash the rom it stops at 26% even if I didnt get any errors while building.

I downloaded the newest kitchen and the oem packages installed all into the same folder

also for good measure I took one of the htc folder archives from alex's downloads and put that in there. followed all the steps and when going to "cook">new method>buildos>load>go! as soon as it nears the end without fail I get one error message or the other for the most part it is htccamera or something obscure and I cannot seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I have read through quite a bit of this forum and some others but can't seem to find the right answer _-_
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] phjott:
I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before in this thread, but could'nt find anything about it.

Will this tutorial, and programs, work with cooking WM6.5 ROMS's?

Also, will the programs run on Win7? (if no one knows, I will try and reply the results myself)

Also, is there any program for testing out the ROMS, and chech if they work properly so that I don't brick the phone! If that's even possible =)

I'm looking forward to cook my own ROM. =)

Very, very good tutorial!

//Phjott
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
Cooking concept is the same for WM6.5, so yes the tutorial should work. But you need WM6.5 SYS and XIP to build a 6.5 ROM.

Emulators can work to test ROM's but its a tedious process. However, you will not brick your phone just by flashing OS using SD card, so use that method to test our the ROM;s you make.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
FYI, I've recently changed the wiki to have step numbers. Redo step II.1, or #1 of 'Prepping the Kitchen'. The self-extracting executable file, 'InstallKaiserKitchen.exe' contains the missing DLL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but here are some suggestions for what I think you mean :D

If you're cooking for the second, third, fourth or +++ time, make sure you only have one .nbh file in your \kaiserkitchen folder when flashing. The flashing application gets confused when there are more than one .nbh file and sometimes it flashes an older one. (This has been added to the FAQ section)

Another possibility is already in the FAQ section of the wiki:

* Q: Why is X showing up in my ROM when I didn't select it?

* A: If you have issues with files showing up in your ROMs that shouldn't, you may need to move the stuff you don't want out of the \kaiserkitchen\packages folder, e.g., to kaiserkitchen\packages-backup.

Hope this helps...

I am currently working on getting a version of 3.5 NetCF that works well. I may have it but for a while I had a bunch of other packages in the directory and I think there was some overlap which was causing sever SOD (sleep of death) issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Believe it or not, I've banned myself from flashing until next year, as I've gone crazy since I've gotten my Tilt :) It's the reason why I never finished up on NetCF 3.5 and removed the broken version that was posted in my AT&T 1.60 ROM thread.

Good luck with NetCF 3.5...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gregross:
I should probably do the same! Sucking up a ton of my time :)

Actually still having the sleep of death issue - anyone else reporting this? - I skinnied down the kitchen to just your stuff and am trying different combineations to see if I can isolate it.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Greg
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Here is a thread on SOD...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=339792&highlight=sleep+of+death I've also heard that installing applications on your SD card causes freezing problems, which can also be linked to MicroSD card speed.

Another possibility is the notification wakeup/sleep time default of 1 second, causing some actions to stop prematurely and possibly hang the phone (hence SOD). This is customizable with KaiserTweak. Was too lazy to convert all those registry entries in KaiserTweak as OEM packages, but if you do convert, please share, as others would be interested :D

I have a Sandisk 6GB class 4 MicroSDHC card and used KaiserTweak to change to the advised (or higher) settings, so I haven't experienced any SOD symptoms myself.

Hope this helps...

_Alex_ and jcespi2005,

Thank you both SO VERY MUCH for all of your time and contributions.

I've been hesitant thus far to cook my own ROM but with the noob friendly screenshots added to the wiki, I finally had the courage to cook up my own ROM, flash it and what do you know...it WORKED!

Being a professional chef, I am now inspired to work towards virtual chefdom in the ROM realm.

Cooked Kaiser Rom With Ultimate Theft Alert

Thanks to Alex and XDA-Developers, I was able to cook 'Ultimate Theft Alert' from Carty Studios onto my Kaiser rom. UTA now survives a hard reset and works well when a 'thief' inserts a new SIM card - I get the new SIM card telephone number and I am able to receive the text messages sent to the new SIM card. I am still testing the GPS module that came as an optional extra. :)

There is an issue with the GPS module however, when activated by the 'theif' SIM cards the receiver stays on all of the time (ideally it should switch on ONLY when you send it a codeworded text message) - which will run the battery down very quickly - not good if you want to trace your phone (and other belongings) in a hurry. The other issue is that until the 'thief' inserts a new SIM card you will be left waiting for this to happen while the 'thief' is getting away. :eek:

I have asked Carty if he would consider making the changes as I think that this will make his software the ultimate in theft protection.

I will write a quick quide to cooking UTA into the Kaiser rom and will be used with Alex's fantastic Kitchen guide.

Watch this space!! :D

with the new cooking tool of page pool...what is the best recommended page pool? 6mb doesn't seem too bad. Anyone tried any others?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jychan28:
Yes, tried. It is better than before. However, it is still monkey see monkey do cooking.

It works, the kitchen and the step by step tutorial.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
This tutorial fulfills the goal, which is to assist people in cooking their first ROM. From here, someone without any knowledge before reading the tutorial is now brave enough to cook a ROM with more options.

The 300+ OEM packages which I include also gives people *PLENTY* of options before they're wanting for more. Which leads into the OEM Package tutorial.

Your statement above indicates that you're dissatisfied, so I'm wondering, what tutorial are you looking for?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Based upon my understanding, with a 16MB page pool, you can expect a 2% increase in benchmark speeds, at a cost of 10MB of program memory. Lesser gains can be made with lesser sizes. Decreasing it to 4MB makes it slower than 6MB, so don't decrease it unless you want a slow ROM :D

You might want to read the Kaiser-specific thread, application thread, or just skip to Pof's excellent explanation for more info.

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Happy to hear that. Hope future tutorials will be as simple for everyone to follow.

Glad you're enjoying it! I think your profession is much harder than mine as I can't burn my ingredients :D

UTA? Sounds interesting, I'll definitely be watching! Thanks again!

Yeah, that's the same issue I ran into when right clicking on kaiserkitchen.cmd. Using the start/run method, instead of getting the 'this software requires administrative privileges' popup, you're supposed to get the 'do you want to run as administrator' popup. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 on my Vista workstation, so I'm not sure if my options differ from yours.

Edit kaiserkitchen.cmd in notepad and modifying the line that reads "start /wait tools\htcrt D:\KaiserKitchen" to just "tools\htcrt.exe". I'll release an updated version later.

Alternatively, if you're really fed up, you could disable the security / User Access Controls in Vista, by following the instructions found here: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

I had the same error. I think it's one of the packages. I did not trace it out as I just build a clean ROM and install the apps as I need them. Try building the ROM with minimal packages to see if that helps.

Ah well.. back to base AT&T ROM for now.. :-\
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Based upon previous discussions about this error, it doesn't seem to be an OEM package issue. You can test this yourself by deleting the entire package directory and you'd still have the same error message.

One user reported that the problem only occurred on his brand new installation on his XP desktop, but not on his older laptop. I have yet to duplicate the problem myself, so I still haven't figured it out :(

You could use the v4 UltraClean ROM and use Schap's advanced config to turn off the Touch dialer, leaving the default black Microsoft dialer.

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Never heard of this app, but it seems like it's looking for SQLCEMobile 3.0, not .NET CF 2. Try installing that instead of SqlCEMobile 3.5 and that should solve the problem.
