Sorry to trouble you: is it also compatible with HTC ELF?:)

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] KilZone:
Windows is not designed to run any program inside 'safe' mode while running in 'normal' mode, so besides the obvious changes OndraSter made already the answer would be no. However reading your posts and those of OndaSter, my conclusion would be this not being a problem of osKitchen itself. But rather a combination of your Windows 7 installation and the osKitchen's operation.

If you did not try my suggestion yet, it might be one to try. You can also try this application. It's called LockHunter and is a free 64-bit (or 32-bit) process hunting application. You select a file supposedly locked by and select 'What is locking this file?'. Then the application runs through the system handles and returns the ones locking the file. Knowing that, you can solve the problem!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Well, it must be something at you, maybe combination of slower harddrive and faster CPU does it (or opposite). I have speedy HDD so it indexes probably fast.

I already added like 200ms times between steps. I can add special mode where it waites like 3 seconds between tasks and it might help.

@strafalcione

No, not yet. In next release I'm adding Kovsky, it should be up this evening. I was working on new NBH dumping process, that should work with any .nbh file (.dio and .nb0 not yet). I'll look on elf later.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] KilZone:
@OndraSter: That's probably something smart I didn't think of till now! I might be wrong about this all together and as it seems to only affect one person in total, it might be too much work, but here is my thought. Your osKitchen is writen in a .Net language right? My guess would be C#, but that might be just my preference talking, since that's the language I know.

If you copy the files using the File.Copy() method to the build location, you might be able to stop Windows from trying to index the file. This can be done by File.SetAttributes(path, attributes), and FileAttributes.NotContentIndexed will stop the indexing service from indexing the files.

I'm not sure if that helps, I'm not sure how long it would take to process all files with properties, but it might work...

edit:

@Everybody: If you have these problems, setting the 'No Indexing' property to the folder 'Build' in Windows (XP, Vista or 7) will effectively do the same to the file copiing process as I described to OndraSter.

@OndraSter: Thinking of this, it might be way easier to just set 'NotContentIndexed' to the folder 'Build' as it would just stop the indexing service all together!

Disclaimer: I never had this problem with this kitchen, though I had some problems with Visual Kitchen once which shared similarities to this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
@KilZone

Sure it is C# :D

I actually didn't knew that you can specify (even in whole system) for different folders and files if they are supposed to be indexed or not. (Yup, I've found it right now in advanced settings for folder.)

I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks for tip :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
As I said, extracting NBH rewritten completely, now it should auto-insert all XIP, SYS, ROM, even NK! (it asks for 6.5 yes/no) to right place. Restarting kitchen to take new files in count is needed.

Also added support for Kovsky (not sure if right, I don't have any to test it on lol).

Also some internal changes.

Commiting to my home svn server, no more changes today, I already wrote too much lol.

Hey Kilzone ..many thanks, ive solved the problem thanks to that program:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jimmydu3:
add treo pro?

what info do you need to add the treo pro? here's what we're using on the ervius kitchen...

Device: PANT200

Device ID: PANT200**

Chunk: 64

OS Id: 0x400

It's a 320x320 device. Let me know what else you need. Thanks man.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
One ROM (shipped). Plus, I'm not sure if I can add any non-HTC device (I have hardcoded tools that doesn't work with nonHTC devices)...

But if you can use NB and NBH to flash, I'm sure it will work :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jimmydu3:
thanks man, the treo pro is a HTC device (7201a, very similar to diamond/raphael) so hopefully most things that work with the those will work for the treo pro. here's a link to the shipped rom...http://www.crozb.com/SkyWriter_1.12I.E.S1_PO134__Treo_PRO_.exe

if you need the files from our ervius kitchen, they are located here...

http://www.4shared.com/file/134563610/69f011ad/Panther_Rom_Kitchen.html

Thanks again man.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Thanks, I'll look on it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Raptordin:
I need to know the folder structure and needed files to build myself a stock win 6.1 with Manila 2.1.

I know that it is a noob question but whenever I attempt it I get screwed up windows.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Which device? Gimme any shipped ROM from it and I'll prepare it for you (I'll do that for every device in few days).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Raptordin:
Here is the link for My Shipped Rom for Egypt. HERE

I am content with it but I only want to Update the office Package and Add Manila Sense 2.1

I know there are a lot of Dependancies but I don;t know them that is why I get screwed up Windows.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Ondra ster can u plz make the kitchen support for opal also.

Opal is one of the challenging device. There are few kitchens but due to the lack of native kernal they dont work properly i mean we can cook easily but when we try to cook com 8 builds some problem comes over.

So i expect from u that u would make support for this device with some solution for nk of opal.

Stock rom : http://rapidshare.com/files/1487199...1_infineongsm4.1.13.66_03.29.90_Ship.exe.html

plz make a updated ext package for opal also plz coz. And the most imp try to find some solution for nk wm 6.5. Can u add support looking forward for ur reply....... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Adding HTC device support is easy :)

I cook for kaiser that doesn't have 6.5 NK too and COM8 works still fine.

I'll add it and post you whole kitchen + prepared Sources (specific for Opal - OEM, ROM, XIP, ..) later, now I have no way of accessing rapidshare (I share IP with hundreds of people so before I take a turn on rapid, it takes few days :/).

If you can upload to 4shared or megaupload, it would be better :).

Raptordin:

the same applies to you, can you please upload it to 4shared or megaupload?

And about the new manilla - I don't have device capable running any new WVGA Manilla yet (Kaiser only, Rhodium is on the way to me right now) so I can't test... But I suppose you must add all Manilla* packages, Album, HTC AudioManager, GoogleLocationService (if HTC still uses it) and maybe some more. Really, I have no idea.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Pisca:
As far I know, maybe I'm wrong, there's an official ROM for Blackstone with Manila Sense 2.1, just dump and you have all the Ext packs to use.

If you're talking about Sense 2.5, dump a Leo ROm, and you can use the whole Ext Packs, I suggest to use BlacKstone Packs for Camera, Dshow and MsHub

At leat I can cook 2.5 to TOpaz without problems at all.

I'm refering WWE packs, for Egipt might be a problem
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Raptordin:
There is No official Manila 2.x for Blackstone thus not able to Dump it, What I need to know is what are the dependent packages so I can correctly cook them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
I got no idea, like I said - I have no way of testing it yet. When I get Rhodium and start cooking for it, I'll let you know.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afn691:
Hi, friend,

First of all, and some days (weeks) later, tell you Happy Birthday !!

Second, I tried about 140 times to cook a new ROM for the kaiser. As I literally burnt my old computer's motherboard and had ready a backup, I'm using OsKitchen 0.9 (and it works well). Sometimes I could flash and more or less it worked, but now it's impossible to boot. Is it maybe because I converted too many SYS files/modules into EXT ones ? Or maybe because I used defective files ? Or I did not include some needed files/modules ? I don't know. Can (all) you help me ??

I'ld like if you (or some other person reading this post) could analize this file: http://www.adrive.com/public/90de234aa302b3e3fd087ab0c10b52a8d0963f0c5c1c98c08a2adaa0deffb902.html and tell me where I mistook. Inside you'll find:

the .nbh not booting ROM file

the .fe project file

the log of the cooking process

Maybe there's a way to extract it and analize it ? (OndraSter and TPC, you know what you included to protect the files)

remember this is a non-booting ROM, don't try to flash it if you don't know what you're doing !!

Thank you very very very much !!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] twopumpchump:
what do you mean "what we did to protect the files"? what files are they?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afn691:
I mean there's something in your way of cooking or in OndraSter's kitchen that does not allow to extract the RUU when the .nbh is made. BUT... maybe some of you can extract my ROM and discover what is happening for not allowing me to boot.

In fact I'm going back to 23016 or to use your ROMs as I spent one week trying to finally obtain a new ROM.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] twopumpchump:
you mean you are trying to build a rom by dumping our cooked roms? that isnt the correct way to learn how to build a rom...you need to start with dumping stock kaiser rom to use for a base then add new sys/xip and ext pkgs. you cant dump a cooked rom adn rebuild it and it boot because of the tools we use in the kitchen.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afn691:
I know: you wrote it in your "cooking classes" and OndraSter told about the way the kitchen also protects the files

What I want is "you" to dump my cooked ROM and tell me what is happening, if possible. (Or maybe the answer is directly in the .fe file)

By the moment, I'll flash again my Ariadna 23016 and have my Kaiser operative to work till the weekend.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] selyb:
Packages.sof and *.dsm are the files used to identify what packages were included in a rom and many more details like which files and so forth. Stock roms include all the original .dsm's and packages so a rom dumper can separate all the files into folders using this information. When you cook a rom with PRB (platformrebuilder, most modern kitchens do), it combines all .dsm files into one and modifies packages.sof to contain only one package (the entire rom). It may be an option with PRB but I don't know all the ins and outs yet.

BTW, this is not necessarily done to 'protect' the rom. One performance issue with WinMo is the number of files in the \Windows\ folder and the process of combining all the .dsm's into one can effectively remove 100-200 files from that folder.

In any case, it would not be easily possible for any of us to extract your cooked rom and debug it. It would be much more useful for you to upload your entire kitchen folder so someone with some knowledge and time could try to debug it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Thanks

Thank you very much. Iam very happy to hear that u will add opal support i will try to upload stock rom to 4shared or megaupload as soon as possible. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hskeik:
i had this problem although I installed .NET 3.5, MSXML 4.0 (some tool needs it), C++ runtimes
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
It doesn't show me anything :)

Say me, when does it happen, plus do you have right tree structure?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
TreoPro and Opal hopefully added, TreoPro isn't native HTC so there might be problems (I also changed a bit internal structures of few files, so it might be buggy). Another point, TreoPro hasn't got htcrt_devices.ini anything so if anyone knows how to fill it (I probably know, just I'm not sure and I don't want to screw it), send me the modified htcrt_devices.ini :).

Opal should work fine, although it seems like NOR device (or NAND? The one without extra chunks). Only to it applies the same - you need to create in htcrt_devices.ini file record for it.

OK, here are prepared Sources files for Opal and TreoPro. There should be always folder "Sources", so unpack it into kitchen root and update your Sources folder with these prepared OEM (not stripped, just dumped), XIP, ROM and NK:

TreoPro:

Sources

Opal:

Sources | Original OEM pkgs (Manilla, ZIP etc)

Also make sure you updated to previous RC2 first, there was some tools update :).

I haven't tested this version to cook, I can't flash my Kaiser right now, need it for work:D.

Support Polaris ?

Hi OndraSter,

is it possible to integrate Polaris support in your kitchen?

Just tell me what you need for it and I will give it to you...

It would be great to get an alternative to Ervius Kitchen.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
All I need is shipped ROM and if you have htcrt_devices.ini with Polaris inside, that one too.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JanSchotsmans:
I'm getting "OS Kitchen has Stopped working" the moment I try to start it in Windows 7.

.NET 3.5.1 is installed and working, C++ runtimes 2005 is installed (dunno if you need 2008)

Any idea whats the problem?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Wrong tree structure.

I cook with it whole today (even with the new rc 2.2 version that has rewritten about third of whole devices code to something I've never tried before) without any problem on W7 x64.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afn691:
Well, in this case I'll try to put again the "original" files into SYS folders (some of them were moved by tool "convert SYS to EXT" as a recmod process) and try to create again a stock ROM. Then, I'll begin again folder by folder and flash everytime till the ROM won't boot.

If I don't succeed, then I'll ask again your help so there'll be a "suicide person who will spend time and efforts to check file by file in my entire kitchen folder.

Thank you !!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TomAngel:
Thank you !!!!!!!!!

Thank you man,

I've upladed the stock ROM to megaupload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=07KSE0HQ

But where I can find htcrt_devices.ini?

The file neither is on my device nor in any kitchen. Sorry!

I can't await...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] trinest:
So hows adding the BenQ e72 to this kitchen? You still working on that?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Thank you very much for opal support but i dont see update in first post isnt it added yet?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Raptordin:
NK.exe

I am getting problems and freezes when the kitchen reaches the "Platformrebuilder" process and I have to kill the process and I am guessing the problem lies in my NK.exe

I don;t know anything about them and can't even remember where I got them "101,78,xx"

Can someone tell me how I get my Own Authentic NK.exe keeping in mind that I am trying to cook a win 6.1 21055 rom.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
I didn't forgot about the BenQ, I haven't found time to study it yet. I can add any HTC device, but non-htc that doesn't use NBH it means problems when cooking :/.

I forgot to update first post with Opal and TreoPro, they are in kitchen supported. Fixed :)

htcrt_devices.ini should be in any kitchen with that device that uses HTC Rom Tool.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Thank you very much you are so quick cant wait to try.

Could be possible to add the Touch (Elf/Elfin) in the suppported devices?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] KilZone:
There is no htcrt_devices.ini in the Ervius Kitchen as it uses NBHUtil for compiling the ROM. This program does not rely on an INI for it's settings, but rather on a XML file called nbhutil.xml. In there you'll find the necessary parameters for the Polaris... however I do have an htcrt_devices.ini which contains the Polaris, so here are the parameters you need.

[Polaris]
ModelId=POLA*****
SignMaxChunkSize=64
SPL=$200
SPLN=SPL
Splash1=$600
Splash1N=Splash
Radio=$301
RadioN=Radio
System=$400
SystemN=System

it's size in Bytes of that partition and if there is 0, it means like "don't check"?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr.ALMohammady:
Could u add polaris to devices supported please...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
Polaris was already asked :).

Here you go, only change to rc2.3 is adding Polaris.

Jade will be next time if someone reuploads it to megaupload or 4shared.

And if anyone is interested what does adding new device mean, just check the example from dev_polaris.txt I added :).

(Plus I must add one line to devices database I have.)

Money is tight, phone broke, bought a T-Mobile Dash off Craig's list. I am a T-Mobile Customer. Tried my sim card in it before I bought it - made a call - no problem. Got home (8 miles away) and it couldn't stay connected. Searching, searching, searching. Tried husband's sim card - same thing. D/led manual to be sure sim card was properly seated. It was. Called, texted, emailed seller. No reply. Reset phone. Same issue. Switched Sim cards back and forth, back and forth. Was able to make one call for 10 seconds and then call dropped - no service. Now I'm out my money and still have no phone. :mad: Is there anyone out there with any ideas? :confused:

:rolleyes:Update: opened case, wiggled battery, wiggled sim card, finally got some bars. Made a call successfully. Second call - call dropped as soon as connected. Third call - Call dropped before connected. Now it still shows bars but will not make call or send text. Please Please help. Somebody, Anybody??

Same here

I had the same problem with my Dash, and I gave up on it a year ago.

Symptoms:

Phone randomly loses signal every few minutes, gets it back a few minutes later.

Sometimes when it loses signal, it shows a SIM error or no SIM installed icon.

Battery meter varies wildly.

Actions taken:

Purchased new battery.

Tried another known good SIM (my wife's SIM - worked great in her phone).

Flashed WM 6.0 and 6.1

Result: Look at my sig

Anyone else experience this or have any ideas on how to fix? I don't even need the phone anymore, but it still stumps me and annoys me that such an expensive phone (it was expensive when I bought it 2.5 years ago) would suddenly quit working.

I am using TILT2. Currently it is HARDSPL and enjoying latest Energy ROM.

My question not related to ROM, as it happened started from official, but I can not find any other person complaining for it.

Signal strength for WiFi is really low. Even if I located close to router it show 50%. Max. If I open device and take my hands away it may go max to 60%

I use Fuze, original tilt, other phones before and never have this problem. I am still in first 30day usage and can return that phone and get other one, if this one defected. Just want to know if that is problem with my phone, or it general problem people just silent about? Please let me know how well your phone receive WiFi signal compare to your prior phones, devices.

BTW I did change WiFi setting to max performance, so it not power setting issue.
