How do I load a rom or kitchen on to a XV6800

Noobie here. I have a mac and I am using PocketMac. How do I load a rom or kitchen onto my XV6800. Also do these roms cure the problem with WIFI? What all does a rom or kitchen do to your phone?

Thanks for you help.:confused:

1st Time to Flash!

Ok have been awhile and finally decided to take the leap and flash a new one of DCD's Rom's. From my reading these are the steps I take. I just wanted to be sure as I am a bit nervous about doing this!

1. Run Titan unlocker

2. Download the kitchen and extract the files to a folder on your computer.

3. Run buildos and check off what you want to include in your rom. the important items are pre-checked for you. make sure you pick your carrier. hit the "play" button and let it build.

4. When it says done, run createrom.bat

5. Take the RUU_signed.nbh and place it in your RUU folder if it doesn't automatically do so for you.

6. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions on screen. make sure there is only 1 .nbh file in your RUU folder.

One other question though. When the new update comes out (cough, not holding my breath), will be anything special I will have to do to install it, or do I just download and run the setup from the computer desktop as before?

Had this problem with s2u2 installed uninstalled and voila no more problems waking.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dalvarez7:
It sounds like you pretty much have it down. As far as the updates go, either we will have to flash the new ROM that is posted by HTC, or wait until DCD gets his kitchen updated with the new drivers and other stuff for GPS and Rev A.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tharris297:
I guess this qualififies as a double post as I think i replied to the ROM thread instead of the kitchen thread, but anyway. I have tracked down my issues to what I think are Slide to unlock not waking up the unit after its been turned off. Ive been toying around with the settings and I think I have it set up correctly.

GOing to flash another 1.6.10 rom and see.

Thank for the incite dcd, really helped me focus my efforts.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SSJSayajin:
Hey guys. So I think I have finally knocked out all the issues I had with the ROM with the exception of 1.

I cant get my MMS to work. (VZW) I have tried installing both MMS packages included with the kitchen. 3.026 as well as 3.024.

With the 3.026 I was unable to send OR receive MMS messages. When I tried to send a message it gave me the error (this attachment is over the 1kb limit) And when I received an MMS message, the senders name became garbled, ie: #-&^ as the sender and I was unable to download the image.

So I downgraded to 3.024. With this version I can send with no problem, but I still have the same issue with receiving. The senders name becomes junk symbols and it says that I am unable to download the file.

Any ideas? I found this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10210

as I know it worked for a lot of people, however with DCD's kitchen my server option tab in MMS messaging is grayed out so I could not change the settings to what that post said. This was the case in both the 3.024 and 3.026 version.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I finally have everything else working with the exception of one thing.

Also as an aside, I know the thread I posted above speaks of the 4.281 version of MMS messaging. Is it worth it to upgrade? I mean what are the differences, and will that fix my problem?

Thanks guys. Other than this one issue, DCD's kitchen is GREAT!

DCD love the rom and the kitchen. great work. the streaming af videos from you tube isn't working now. There is a fix on the TreoCentral forum here is the link http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=148801 Any chance this could be added to the next rom and kitchen?

Internet Sharing Question?

Does the "internet sharing" option in this kitchen allow using the phone as a modem for the laptop without incurring the extra monthly charge from verizon?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tyoung88:
I recently upgraded from a Verizon XV6700 to the XV6800 Titan. The new form factor and battery life is great however the stock bluetooth stack is horrible. BT calls through the car that previously were decent with the XV6700 are now borderline unsable. The incoming call is clear however everyone keeps telling me that I'm breaking up and they only hear every other word.

Does this kitchen have a better BT stack than what comes with my stock XV6800? Anyone else having BT call quality issues?

Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] FZ1:
Infiniti/Nissan owners are having a well defined bt issue (which seems different from your issue though) with the Titan using any of the bt mods available on the interweb. No fix discovered yet, see this thread for more info.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SSJSayajin:
Thanks for the info! That half way worked. Now I can edit the servers and click add server, the only problem is that it wont save the new server I add into the list for me to select! As soon as I hit Ok the server list goes blank as if I never added one! Any ideas? Thanks a lot once again.

Help

Just checking the steps i should be taking here....

1. Run BuildOS.exe and select components

2. Run CreateROM.bat

3. Flash completed NBH to my xv6800
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
Yes it does, your XV6800 came with rom 2.09, the kitchen uses drivers from rom 2.17. BT is improved.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tyoung88:
Thanks for the response and the effort with the kitchen. It's folks like you that made the choice of upgrading to an HTC, Samsung, or simliar WM6 device and easy choice since there are so many folks working to make the HTC devices function the best that they can.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:

First time chef and need some help.

Is there anyway to add a file like Slide 2 Lock 2? I have the .cab file so instead of installing separately is there a way to add it into the cooked ROM?

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Madzilla:
Im not a pro or even a seasoned "chef" but from what I have gathered, you need OEMizer to turn cabs into OEM files. Apparently there is a little work you need to do with it with the registry and such (I have not really played with OEMizer or anything equivelent) but from what I have heard people say it doesnt seem TOO hard to use.

dcd --- Adjusted the setting for S2U2 so that it would not turn of the device, and now its been working fine. Not a single lockup coming outo f standby. Battery life is great and the slide it working good.

Just and update and thank you for making this phone absolutly brilliant!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SSJSayajin:
Anyone got any idea about this issue im having? The only reason that I ask again is because I noticed that DCD has posted in here a few times since then.

I think I FINALLY worked out all of the issues with the Kitchen and this is my last thing before I can get it running perfectly.

Thanks for all the help guys!

HTC Home

Hi Thanks, just received a free upgrade of my vx6700 to a 6800. Had to start cooking right away. Cheers to a great job on something so new!!

Having one challenge, I think. One of my favorite things on my 6700 bake was the HTC Home Plugin with Weather, time Date, shortcuts, ext.

I selected HTC home plugin on the BuildOS, the only thing I am getting is one line with Battery Rotate, brightens in comm shortcut. I do not need that, I loved my old Weather and time.

Am I doing anything wrong? Or do I have to get somewhere else.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Is there a way to load the original Verizon camera software instead of what the kitchen loads. The original seems to do a little more aswell as I can use my flash. The software in the kitchen disables the flash and that is a must for work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Foetus:
I believe the kitchen includes both the older (with flash) and newer (vogue without flash) versions of the camera app. Just choose the other one.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Hmmmm.... I swear I tried both, maybe I need to try again. I've flashed my rom a few times just to see what I liked better and I'm almost positive I tried both camera's. Either way DCD, thank you so much for this kitchen. My device is so much faster. I can't thank you enough dude.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
yeah the included camera 4.05 has a flash, let me know if it doesnt work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Thank you once again DCD. Everything is working perfect. I even updated my radio to 2.13 and I must say it's alot better than the 1.30 that was originally on the phone. My calls are clearer and I can actually hear now. That is a huge issue with me. I work in a papermill and between the machine noise and my slight lose of hearing I think I'm having, it's been a challenge to find a phone I don't have to say "HUH" on 50 million times during a conversation.

Thank ya much

DCD

how long do you roughly estimate before you build the new Rom into a kitchen so we can build our roms like before with the new goodies in it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blizzard07:
Please help, few choices

I downloaded the most recent on page 1 rc3. I do not have many choices. Someone else attached their buildOS See Below, and it had sections such as: Games, Contact Managers, Today Plugins (HTC Home)

I only have System Components, OEM Apps, Carrier, and select one of each. Where are all of the other choices? Do I have to download additional things to get all of the other choices. Where can I get below.

File name attached here:

DCD Kitchen 1.6.10 selections 01-15-08.zip, here it is.

Is this somewhere else, with all of this?

Thanks!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Juicy47:
DCD, I just wanted to say THANK YOU... I've really enjoyed cooking roms for my Titan, and have had noticeable improvements in both speed, battery life, and overall usability.

I was wondering how I could do a few things though;

- how do I go about changing the boot-screens before I cook a ROM?

- how can I cook registry edits in a ROM?

- how can I change folder hierarchy? I really want to create 2 new folders (with specific folder icons) 1 for games (like the OEM ROM) and 1 for multimedia

Thanks again!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] badutahboy:
Here it is. Thanks!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ksquake:
- how do I go about changing the boot-screens before I cook a ROM?

This may be a brute force method but it works for me. I keep the boot screen I want to use on the side and it is named welcomehead.96.png. After running BuildOS but before running CreateROM I copy this file into the temp\dump\ directory. It now gets built in as the ROM is created. I wrote a simple batch file that does this copying for me so I do not have to do it manually every time.

- how can I cook registry edits in a ROM?

Try the OEMizer by Tiermann to build OEMs containing registry entries that you can cook in. Read more about it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9830

- how can I change folder hierarchy? I really want to create 2 new folders (with specific folder icons) 1 for games (like the OEM ROM) and 1 for multimedia

Again a brute force method. I created the structure I wanted on the PPC and then I copied it off onto my PC using active synch. After flashing a ROM in I copy these directories back into the PPC. You would build your structure on the PPC as subdirectories off of the \Windows\Start Menu\ directory, this would make them available from the Start button. I have not yet found a way to cook the structure in at the OEMizer/BuildOS/CreateROM level but I have not tried real hard yet either. I don't know about changing the Icons for the folders.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ksquake:
This confused me too. There are actually two choices, one is HTC Home and the other is HTC Homeplug. I believe only HTC Homeplug is in the kitchen by default. I pulled a version of HTC Home from the PPC Geeks Apache Kitchen RAR file and used that one.

Based on your description you are running the HTC Homeplug and you want to run the HTC Home.

Hope that helps but it is late and I could be totally off.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JimSmith94:
That was my post. :) To get all those extras, I unrar'd the Apache PPCGeeks_OEM.rar to a directory, and copied the OEMs that were different into the DCD's kitchen OEM directory. There were a couple conflicts with duplicate file names, but most of them worked just fine. :cool:

no, it doesn't, we have to wait for the 2.x.x series kitchen, and I'm not too up to date, but I assume DCD is hard at work with it, because he's been around less lately... :P
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sandiegodude:
Do you think he'd make a kitchen with the 3.16 rom when the official htc update (3.17?) will "supposedly" be released shortly thereafter?

I certainly hope so but it may be a waste of time for him.

The cool part is, by the time a kitchen is released, we'd have figured out which apps work best with the new rombuild and further push the 6800 to reach its full potential.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] miguelfp1:

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cuboy29:
Why not make your own kitchen? I did using Dogguy kitchen maker and DCD 2.0 beta as the base. It's really simple to do. Just download the kitchen maker and place DCD's NBH file in the same directory and run the PrepIt.bat and it will convert the NBH into the kitchen. When done, all you have to do is pur your OEMs in the OEM folder and build.

can't get any easier :)

DCD.. hope you don't mind me being impatient and created my own :)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JimSmith94:
I'm currently using another GPS ROM and like the way it looks and the OEMs it includes. I've built my own ROMs with both DCD's and DogGuy's kitchens and would like to try DCD's kitchen maker. If I pull in a customized ROM, will the customizations and included OEMs get lost? If I read the instructions correctly, only the OS is extracted with PrepIt.bat.

I modified some registry stuff in the SYS folder as I use my Storage card for Cookies so I don't have to log back into all my websites again for every flash. And I also store my favorites on my Storage Card.

I just dropped my packages I use in the OEM folder. A few I use are Slingplayer(already setup with my box ID and everything..I'm lazy), LedKiller, HTC 6 tab home with audio, WkTask, Quickmenu, etc.

Can anyone send picture mail with this ROM? I'm just trying to send to myself for a test.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
Thanks for the reply.One quick question is did you just drop let say SLingplayer cab file into the OEM folder and it will see it or do i need to modify dcd kitchen for it to see it?Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WyldStar:
Yea, I really think Sprint must have their own customized version of Arcsoft or something, to work with IOTA and the wierd way they handle MMS messages with links and all. It does seem to be a lot nicer than 3.x for VZW, tho.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blazingwolf:
You need to make an OEM file out of the cab. You can't just put cab files in to the kitchen. Sure would make things easy if you could.

There is a program called OEMizer from Tierman that can help you out. You can find it in the Apache kitchens on ppcgeeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it is around here either.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
Can you send me the OEMizer,since I went to ppcgeeks and it's no longer there.Thanks.

S2U2 v0.95 won't run...

Everything in the new test kitchen works out great except for A_C's S2U2 v0.95... Everytime I try to install it, it either runs very very slow to the point of locking up my phone or I'll get a certificate error after a soft reset saying something like cannot start S2U2.exe it's doesn't have a trusted certificate. But it ran perfectly with a ROM I made from dcd's Test 2 kitchen... Any ideas how to fix

Also, I found that when adding the Adobe Reader to the ROM, once flashed, it doesn't show the program icon in the Programs folder, doesn't show up in the Programs folder or Windows folder, nor anywhere in the registry.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cuboy29:
For S2U2 ver .95 you need to edit the registry and turn off directdraw.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2]

"DirectDraw"=dword:00000001

change that key to

.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2]

I have flashed your rom into my ppc and it worked great, but when i reset set my divice it keeps on resetting my its self. Should I try to reflash it again?

Edit:

I did a hard reset, now it boots up again, funny I just tried to install another app that could have made my ppc wack out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] friguy33:
sorry to do this, but any ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] quantumforce1:
Think of it this way ...

There are 'basically' three parts to the software that runs your phone.

1. There is the SPL / bootloader.

2. There is the Radio ROM.

3. There is the System ROM.

2 and 3 above will not load or work correctly if #1 above is bad or the wrong version.

Therefore, if you want to go back to 2.17 then the easiest way to do this is to:

1a. Get the ReLocker (which is SPL v1.06) -- or you can use the unLocker if you plan on loading custom roms prior to 3.16.

1b. *Don't worry that it stays in the boot loader mode.

2a. Run your offical carriers released ROM, Sprint 2.17 (which will include both the System and Radio ROMs) or

2b. Run your favorite custom ROM if you loaded the unLocker.

3. Reload your custom apps.

4. Sync.

5. *Remember you will still need your EPST, MDN and MSID codes.

That's it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] friguy33:
the EPST, MDN and MSID codes are for verizon also, or just sprint?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] quantumforce1:
I belive (and don't take this totally to the bank) but Verizon users have their phone number for both the MDN and MSID codes. But if your question is does Verizon use them -- then the answer is ... YES.

**The EPST generated number that is derived from your ESN HEX code.
