OK, my account was activated this morning. I have the kitchen downloaded and installed as the video shows. I didn't seem to have a problem dumping the most recent official Raphael ROM.

When I go to build it, I get the following error.....

Sector size is 0x800 bytes
ImgFs partition starts at 0x007a0000 and ends at 0x09240000
Dumping IMGFS at offset 0x007e0000 (size 0x08a60000)

Done!
ImgfsFromDump 2.1rc2
Input file imgfs.bin cannot be read. Exiting.

ERROR! (errorlevel: 1)
Press any key to continue . . .

when I look in BASIC_RK\temp, imgfs.bin is 0 KB. I can't understand why it wouldn't be able to open the file? Permissions to the drive are not a problem (it was able to create all of the other files). I have 1.8 GB free on the HD.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

TrueG

Somehow this was related to where on my computer the kitchen was located. After I moved the kitchen from my F: drive (Ext2) to my C: drive (NTFS) I no longer encountered the above error.

I did run into an error where I somehow hit the ROM size limit while trying to rebuild the stock AT&T Fuze ROM (released last week). I realize there is a lot of garbage in there, but I would think I could rebuild it as is. After removing a lot of junk (demo games, sample music, useless cabs) it built without error.

Is it correct that I am unable to rebuild the AT&T Fuze ROM as is or is Platformrebuilder underestimating the valid ROM size?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] trueg:
Do I need to modify the XIP in any way before building a ROM?

Using RUU_Raphael_HTC_WWE_5.05.405.1 as a base, I was able to successfully dump and build a ROM exactly as shown in the tutorial video by Bepe. After flashing, my Raphael hangs on the splash screen. Normally, I would attribute this to a registry error, but I did not touch anything before building it. It should be exactly like the original.

I've been able to make several ROMs using Raphael Kitchen, but I thought I would give this a try instead. I like everything so far, but obviously it's no good if I can build a valid ROM. :(

Also, another thing I wasn't sure of, is after dumping the ROM I was left with 6 extra DSM files.....

1c6eb110-74bd-4333-9573-a38e8f36ae90.dsm

6c5b1785-7c19-4676-817d-f93e86407e55.dsm

24a3afa4-afe8-4949-9ede-14a469b8bff2.dsm

43581c8a-ea14-43a1-8881-c3d2467e9bec.dsm

c357e313-70f0-4e59-83f1-5d303069b568.dsm

e9419482-285d-4722-9605-bb746321b91c.dsm

Are these files necessary in some way?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tonio94:
A mirror please !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] trueg:
This problem was fixed by using the original platformrebuilder.exe from BASIC_RK.rar and not the updated version (v2.1).

As far as the extra DSM files, they don't seem to be important as the ROM seems to work fine without them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] !Aman!:
did u use "set OLDKERNEL=1" parameter in the "build_rom.bat" file when u used the V2.1 version of the PRB?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] trueg:
No and now that I read the section about new variables under 2.1 it makes more sense. I wasn't even sure what AKU5 was when I first downloaded the kitchen (I assumed it didn't apply in my case) and there is no mention of it in the video tutorial (which I assume was made before 2.1 was released). I kind of have an idea of what it is after reading through the 27 pages on darkforcesteam (new structure used for WM6.5?).

Anyway, I extracted the updated exe again and built the ROM again. Yup, indeed that was the problem. Hah, such a simple solution, yet so important.

Thank you !Aman!

Hello Bepe,

Thanks for your work !

I need help trying to port a XIP/SYS

I do exactly as in the video and when I build the rom :

- If I use platformrebuilder.exe 2.0, I get an error -1073740777

- If I use platformrebuilder.exe 2.1, I get no error but my device get stuck on the splash screen and don't boot.

What am I doing wrong ?

EDIT : Ok setting OLDKERNEL to 1 with 2.1 seems to work

Hello,

I'm using ervius package tools + buildOs for bepe's kitchen from more then 3 months so but now I'm feeling that its old so I was wondering some change.

Can anyone please help me how to use Platformrebuilder kitchen to my htc wizard to cook roms?

Few days back I tried but I have had some problem while building rom. Something with imgfs-new.bin.

Please help..............

Thanks and regards

Edit: I have finally managed to make this kitchen for my wizard. Flashing and tested and everything is fine but I am facing some problem with provxml's, Inwhich it is not able to install. :confused:

My last problem, Plz help............. :o

BTW; after cooking rom with this kitchen, The os become faster then ever. :eek:

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xtep:
Answering myself.

The problem wasn't in the tool but in the attributes of the files. I have added some lines to change the attributes (to +r +s +h) after calling platformrebuilder and then all work fine.

Thanks for this great tool, I plan to use it in my cooking.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Slv:
Another device (Toshiba G900), but same problem. All fine except provxml's.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Slv:
Already tried, but without success.

Could you post that lines, or just *.*?

Tried *.*. Still doesn't help.

Which dll/app executing .provxml?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Slv:
Most strange, what .provxml's working well with old (buildos) kitchen, with same sources.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nerdstrap:
I am trying, trying, trying to become a cooking expert...

I have a Sprint (CDMA) Mogul (Titan).

I downloaded the dumped roms for the topaz and rhodium (21032 and 21040) and the iolite (qvga).

1. I used platform rebuilder to create a kitchen for the stock Sprint Titan rom.

2. I used platform rebuilder to dump the sys and xip of the rhodium (21040) rom and the iolite (qvga) rom.

3. I combined the qvga sys with the 21040 sys to create a hybrid qvga/21040 sys.

4. I moved the 21040 ms xip files into the stock rom kitchen.

5. I moved the hybrid qvga/21040 sys into the stock rom kitchen.

All of the various rom kitchens will rebuild without modifications.

The new kitchen with the stock oem, 21040 xip and qvga/21040 sys wont build. The build rom bat file creates the xip then bombs out immediately when it attempts to process the packages...

There isn't much in the way of a log or debug/error messages, so I am clueless as to what is going wrong?

Any ideas? Help?

edit: I also created a .bat file to mark all of the .dsm, .provxml and .rgu files read-only and hidden.

edit2: I also replaced the shell32 file in sys/shell with a version from a different rom, i can successfully run the build rom bat file before I did that :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] anryl:
provxml problem --- check mxip_initdb.vol included in kitchen oem

and re-port u'r xip change resources for xip or port xip with xipport then with bepe tool cause sometimes its problem there :cool:

this tools are working only with official dumps if u dump coocked or modified rom it will not work

for testing u have to use xip sys rom oem ext (working build) replace with new one by one to look where is problem

i have test.bat that ends after bepe platformrebuilder for testing resources only
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Slv:
How can i check mxip_initdb.vol? And this whole source works with old kitchen without any modification.

This kitchen can not work with my xip. So i porting it with another tools and corrected .bat's.

I tryed every WM build from 21159 to 21198. Same results.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] spocky12:
I also have the problems of importing provxml files. I've tried adding "+s +h +r" to my provxml without success.

The exact same sys/xip with an old kitchen is working perfectly.

So I made a diff and it appears that problem is somehow related to dsm : if I put back *.dsm + packages.sof in temp folder before rebuilding, my provxml get imported correctly. But that's not a great solution as I need to add normally unused files and it takes more time because I have to generate packages.sof with the old kitchen.

I hope this post will help people who encounter the same issue and that we'll finally be able to understand exactly where's the matter with this kitchen and provxml.

Do you guys have another idea to make it work ?

I made some 'progress and my rom is taking shape.

One problem, however, stopped me:

build_rom.bat crashes and brings me the following error:

ROM Kitchen Executable has stopped working.

I do not understand if my problem is the kitchen or if it is a problem of windows.

First of all, I have already managed to create a file 2 times .nbh flashabile (and running).

Build_rom.bat I happened to run it several times by test days ago, and the error above gave me yet another time when the second DOS window.

I solved with a system restore, but now I do not want to repeat it. I would like to understand what is wrong.

Ho fatto un po' di progressi e la mia rom stà prendendo forma.

Un problema però mi blocca:

build_rom.bat crasha e mi riporta il seguente errore:

ROM Kitchen Executable ha smesso di funzionare.

Non capisco se il mio problema dipende dalla cucina o se è un problema di windows.

Premetto che sono già riuscito a creare 2 volte un file .nbh flashabile (e funzionante).

Build_rom.bat mi è capitato di lanciarlo più volte facendo delle prove giorni addietro, e l'errore riportato sopra me l'ha dato anche un'altra volta all'apertura della seconda finestra DOS.

Ho risolto con un ripristino di sistema, ma adesso non vorrei ripeterlo. Mi piacerebbe capire cos'è che non và.

Thanks for help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DaveShaw:
Are you sure the XIP isn't bad? Why not try ervius's suggestion in his thread. His is just wrappers onto bepe's... Try dumping and rebuilding a stock ROM and seeing if the problem still occurs.

@robekia1

No one is forcing you to use this, if you don't like the way bepe handles his business, then don't use his tools; create your own and host them how you like. Sorry, but the amount of work to make something such as this commands a level of respect from people.

platformrebuilders generated XIPs never worked for me. because the boot.hv generated cause boot problems so instead I am using buildxip and the original boot.hv

This is because platformrebuilder throws a runtime error when I am using a XIP that works for me (replacing cecompr.dll with a different one fixes the error but the ROM does not boot)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hilaireg:
I've run into that as well ...

I noticed that if I add Change Log Comments (semi-colon) at the beginning of a new line (which should be possible in REG files), it would yield a non-booting device.

As a precautionary measure, I now run RGUCOMP on my BOOT.RGU and copy both the BOOT.RGU & BOOT.HV to the OEMXipKernel folder.

Cheers,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hilaireg:
Those entries are typically found in the MS .RGU and the DSM .RGU - OEMXIPKernel & MSXIPKernel folders; in Ervius Visual kitchen, those entries would be added when the kitchen is in "Old ROM Style" mode.

HTH,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ervius:
these entries are created and inserted into default.hv in old way, packages.sof database was populated, and used to create hives files (user & default.hv) by rgucomp.exe, it adds all theese values, platformrebuiled uses existing dsm (msxipkernel) and unique reg file or directly user/default.hv are builded (builded at runtime while platformrebuilder works) and not need populate all values, so it skips this step.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] navenedrob:
I cannot fix the runtime error, happens every time I try to build my ROM. Driving me crazy!

first try moving your EXT folder out, then take out single packages and try and isolate the problem.

Bepe's dumping tool doesn't work for all device and more over old devices ( Including mine ).

Try Dump_200 bat. If still doesn't work, you will have to perform alt dumping. i.e by hypercore or any other kitchens.

Dump the latest device's shipped rom ( i.e iolite ) using Dump_200 bat and then exchange the files to your devices ones.

For which device you are cooking? I guess Prophet, if so you can try CRBuilder ( Here ). It also uses the same platform rebuilder and easy to use but still doesn't have dump feature. :)

In the visual kitchen by ervius the progress os parsed and displayed on the screen along with the preparation of the log. I wanted that kind of arrangements.

I had PM'd ervius asking how is he doing that, there is no response from him.

Hi bepe (and ervius)!

I've been using your tools for a while and had no probs but today I saw an issue of manila's regional (OEM) settings not applied after building a rom.

It seems that using PBR (and any kitchen based on it) introduces some side-effects caused by different packages processing order. Even if you simple disassemble and then assemble an official firmware without making any changes the resulting firmware could be different from original (EXT packages overwrite changes made in OEM part)!

PBR warns me about packages' files being overwritten but what about the registry? Do you have any methods of tracking .rgu conflicts encountered during registry compilation?
