hmmm thanks i will lookup sprite backup.

What does backing up a ROM do then...i see there are many different ROMs around and some even say that this included,that excluded...i thought thats the way to customize the software....

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tariks:
I've got a dutch tmobile xperia, copying the four raw files worked, but when I start in kovsky's kitchen and I do the following step "- Select (e) extract a rom, then (b) and let it work through.", I get a error PKGtool.exe, the application failed to initialize properly(0xc0000135). Does someone now how to fix this?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tariks:
Can this be caused becuase I use the generic uk rom, and if I download a tmobile nl rom, from the download page, is that the same.

Hi folks...

Sorry to bump up this thread again but I couldn't find a solution to an error I have even after googling for it... or I may have searched wrongly. So pardon me if someone had came across this before and was answered.

I tried backing up my rom with all the necessary apps...followed the instructions here as well as from Biovolt's vid tut. I've succeeded in pdocread but my problem came when I'm running kovskykitchen.

I've copied all 5 files (Part00, 01, 02, 03 & Ruu_Signed.nbh) to the BaseROM folder as instructed, but when tried to to build (2nd step) in Kovskykitchen.cmd I had the following error:

I've set most of the files to 'Run as administrator' but it still can't proceed. I got bumped back to the main menu. Tried several times but failed. What could noobish me had done wrong/left out? By the way I'm running on Vista Ultimate x64 <-- could this be the culprit?

Hope to get some help in this. Thanks in advance y'all!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Is that vista? If so, try on XP. If not, try again - perhaps you went sideways somewhere.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] GTBlackIce:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes it's on vista. Will try to get an XP system and try it on to see how it goes then.

Just curious though, can I just copy the extracted files that I've had in the BaseROM folder... and paste it back in the same folder but this time in an XP system. Don't think I'd have enough time to run pdocread in the office... :p

Anyway I'll give it a try on XP and see how it goes. Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Well, the least you could do is try. As the files were created properly, I'd think they're just fine.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jokersmart:
Thanks a lot for such exellent step by step manual.

I'm currently using the TouchIT v5.061 and Activesync Vista (Windows Mobile Device Center). When I do the backup steps from Angelusz's Tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462926 but can't be success cause to the pop up "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". I did success one time with the original ROM, but in TouchIT ROM, it's seem to be that some configuration or registry has been incorrect edited. Anyone got success to back up your ROM (TouchIT) before moving to the next one, please help. Many thanks!!

PS: also I want to change the splash screen to be something else but the file SEMC2904.bmp is not the right one to change (with normal ROM, if change that file...the spalsh screen changed...but don't know which file itje used to contain splash screen on TouchIT ROM)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Why would you back up a ROM that you can just download? You can't back Itje's ROMs up because he protects them.

Also, questions about the splash screen aren't for this thread.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] quintenvf:
how can i do this?

Also, your phone must accept changes that pdocread makes. You can do this with the regedit function of the FdcSoft Taskmanager.

- Set the following registry keys to "1":

* HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies "00001001"

* HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies "0000101a"

Noob question

I have a question.

Why someone should go into backing up his own rom instead downloading the current rom that he/she is using and then install that rom ?:confused:

Sorry if that question has already been answered but i didn't notice it somewhere else!

Thanks in advance :D

Edit: Ok my bad, i must change my prescription glasses !!! it was one of the stickies, the answer is: in case the rom isn't available for download. But if there is another reason please feel free to contribute :D

Problem with Process

Hi All,

My first post. Seems to be a trivial error. I know this has been mentioned before.

I am running through the backup procedure outlined in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462926. Sticky is above.

Steps that I am having probelm with:

- Now select (c) cook a rom, then (b)

It'll start up the buildOS + Package tools program.

- Select the buildos tab.

- Select "load rom" and navigate to your kovskykitchen folder.

- Press ok.

I get this exception when running the Package Tools after select the kovskykitchen folder.

As I understand it is the image file that does not contain it. I have downloaded the UK Generic as per the post and also from another loaction to make sure it wasn't corrupt.

I also downloaded a Touch-it Rom and the SEX1 ROM to try them also.

Still no dice. All help appreciated.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hispeed_mike:
In reply to my own Post.

Humble Pie aplenty being eaten over here. All you can eat.

Below is what I should have done:

- Start kovskykitchen.cmd

- Select (e) extract a rom, then (b) and let it work through.

Then:

When it's finshed it'll go back to the main menu.

- Now select © cook a rom, then (b)

Missed the vital first part of that and just jumped to the Now select c to cook a rom etc. I post this in hope that someone else learns from my mistake. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS LINE BY LINE.

Thought I learnt that when I started programming
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Mmmm... humblepie!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mayyhem84:
how to make this step?

ok, I did te reading thru the posts and still can not get it:

1) if I will back up my ROM with the file "RUU_signed.nbh" will it still be my ROM or the ROM of that file?

I am asking because after hard reset I am having already (without installing) automapa - the GPS program. and some other stuff. does it matters? is it like that my ROM is modyfited in some way already?

2) "- From the stock UK ROM extract the RUU_signed.nbh to Baserom folder as well."

HOW to make this step??? the ROM after unpacking are in .image format - APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R1AA017.image . so what should I do now??

I can use the one that is in the links at the beginning - but what ROM is that? Now I have this one:

ROM VErsion	:	1.02.931.3

ROM date	:	08/29/08

Radio version	:	1.06.25.29

Protocol version :	52.43.25.24U

Customer info:

Software Id	:	1213-6450

Software version :	R1AA017

Custom ID	:	1215-1832

Custom Ver	:	R15A

Custom Var	:	Generic_UK

please help me - I would like to back up the ROM now and install the updated one during night so tomorrow I would have a fresh one..

thanks very much in advance !!

P.S. sorry if that are lame questions, but it I am yet not good in PDA, and that is my first time when I am actually doing anything with ROM..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] starkeywerld:
2) "- From the stock UK ROM extract the RUU_signed.nbh to Baserom folder as well."

For that step I downloaded the UK ROM from the links in the start of the post. Then opened the RUU_Signed.zip file (downloaded), inside the archive is a file "ruu_signed.nbh". Extract the ruu_signed.nbh into the BaseROM folder in the KovskyKitchen folder.

The guide is very detailed and straightforward. I just followed it step by step and have only owned my SE X1 (I had Symbian OS phones before now) for 4 days and I managed to extract my ROM fine on first attempt.

Thanks to the people that made this guide. Very well written and very detailed and it is much appreciated from a nuub like myself :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mayyhem84:
yes, I know that. do not think that You've read my questions carefully.. :P I was asking which ROM will be if I will use the file from zip package. and some other stuff :)

and yeap - the tutor is rly great!! it just could not be easier!

but still - made me wondering about those 2 stuff ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Your first questions can be answered by reading the first post better.

On the second, the ROM you need to download is used by the kitchen to reconstruct the ROM you will extract. So, you will end up with your own ROM, not the one you download.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mayyhem84:
thank You very much for the reply! and making my wonders clear :) actually I did read the first post couple of times, and even after your reply and reading it again I can not get the answer from it.. :(

maybe it is too soon to go for ROM experiments for me... ? probably yes. so till now I will just stick to update the ROM - when I will learn more about kitchen and other stuff then will return to experiments :)

thank You again for making those wonders clear!! i can now update without any doubts of loosing my ROM! :) thanks again!

and really BIG, BIG appreciate for that thread! U are great! perfect work!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] l337h1um:
A file in the kitchen zip called "PKGTool.exe" is flagged by Sophos AntiVirus as being infected with Mal/Generic-A. I assume this is a generic behaviour-based detection... What exactly does the file do? Does anyone know where it comes from?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Virusscanners occasionally flag developer files as being "infected". The reason for this is simple. The code was written by third party programmers and in some ways resemble things that viruses do. Virusscanners search for specific patterns in files.

I can assure you that all these tools are 100% safe - courtesy of XDA.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] l337h1um:
Well yes I know, but I was asking what the file does :) I was just being careful - hence why I'm a systems administrator. Doesn't matter though, they said it was a false positive and are releasing an update for it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] holdout:
I have a few Partxx.raw files from a long time ago and I don't know which ROM it's a dump of. It was a custom ROM. I think one of itje's TouchX ROMs....

I tried rebuilding the raw files with an extracted stock .NBH but it won't flash. The SPL hangs on "Loading..." when trying the MicroSD method.

So how can I peer into the .raw files and browse around or somehow make it flash?

Backup TD2 Stock ROM

Hi

I'm trying to back up my TOPAZ stock ROM 1.43.720.1 (51718) WWE using xdatools and KovskyKitchen. The KovskyKitchen requires a stock ROM's .nbh file to be in the Baserom folder. The one I could find here in xda forum for TOPAZ is older ver i.e. RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61 .20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.

My question is, suppose I use this in KovskyKitchen along with my stock ROM's *.raw files which was generated by xdatools, does it package with my stock rom or the older one? i.e. how to ensure it creates a nbh file with the latest ROM ver?

And by the way, why is it required to have a backed-up rom in the Baserom folder, while we're actually trying to create one ourselves, does KovskyKitchen use any of this contents while backing up our stock rom?

Regards

- SKBG
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nojoedoe:
Hey do any of you guys get buildos.exe in kovskykitchen.zip coming up as a virus ?

I am using Avast antivirus and it flagged it as a trojan before the download was even complete.

Is this a case of false positive?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smnrock:
Is there any way i can take backup of my current ROM with applications installed(similar to taking image using norton ghost in PCs), so that i can restore easily without need to reinstall everything? Its very useful for me to go back to older ROM, if i find the current(cooked) ROM is not suitable.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Try UC or Sashimi
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smnrock:
Thanks, but it looks like automatic batch script installer. I'm looking something similar to norton ghost or acronis true image, which will help us to take image of the current files,settings..everything into a single file. And later point of time we can restore complete OS,Applications and settings from this with few clicks. :)

Edit: SPB backup or similar tools will take entire image or only applications/settings?

All of the roms NEEDED CAN BE FOUND ON THIS SITE

Just type in ROM Kovsky library in the search bar at the homepage of the site, and find any stock rom u need...

However, i have a problem with the stock rom i downloaded, in the tutorials it says something about a ruu_signed.nbh file which i'm supposed to get from the stock rom in order to make a back up of my rom... but there isn't such file in the rom which i downloaded, instead theres just an .exe file which installs sum (215mb) image file in a folder specified by me. Is that file the same thing as the RUU_signed file? Do i just rename it and proceed? I'm being overcautious because i don't want to mess up my phone... so plz help :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hestlen:
Hi,

Where can i find the RUU_Signed??

iI have the same question as bgeorgi, just download the stock ROM UK, and rename it??

3) pdocread

- Open up a command line and navigate to the folder where you extracted the XDAtools.

- Enter the following command: "pdocread.exe -l"

You'll get something like this:

| 3.12M (0x31f000) Part00

| 3.50M (0x380000) Part01

| 69.38M (0x4560000) Part02

| 134.38M (0x8660000) Part03

The bits in brackets are the important ones as you need to use what it says on YOUR device in the next step.

Hey, if someone can give me some clarity on the above it would be greatly appreciated.

1) Install XDA tools on my PC, or Mobile device?

2) Use RUN command on PC, or Mobile Device? (Guessing 1 and 2 are the same answer).. and the run comman consists of "locationwherexdatoolsis + pdocread.exe -| <--dont really understand why those two symbols are there..

I have xda on my PC, run the command on PC..WITH activesync on...just get a black screen for a couple seconds, then disappears..it's probably something very minor...any help is appreciated!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gnaishes:
i have a question, let say i backup my rom with dis utility with all my settings that i hv done (inc. all the software installed.), will it still remain after the .nbh is produce? in other words, if i flash back this BACKUP.nbh to my device, will my previous setting and software be there as well ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Like the guide states in the beginning, if you're not adapt at using computers in the first place, this might prove difficult. Those symbols are actually a "-" and the letter "l". It's a parameter.

The XDA tools are used from your PC, whilst the phone is cradled.

Again (like many, many times before) I have to say, this only backs up the ROM itself, not the settings, programs and other files. That is not possible.

As for the files currently on the phone, everything stays intact. This just copies the ROM files off of your phone, nothing else.

Thanks for that.

I must've forgotten to log into Rapidshare, as I do have a premium account. I have uploaded the file again myself and added the link to the first post again too.

Doing a factory reset will remove apps and data but it will not restore the original boot image.
