p. s. The request to owners of other devices to inform on results in a thread.
And also any wishes and remarks are accepted.

Sorry for my poor intelligent
but it s not possible to use this very good program for a htc wizard

nothing for smartphones?

Thank you! Very nice app!
Im waiting for the OS tool
Oh... and by the way: when i add a Os.nb for a ExtRom the app freezes

For this purpose use [Open]-> [Add*Replace], [Delete]-> [Save].

Great - exactly what I was looking for... but must have OS module functional

i have a question:
if i load a standard Herald wm6.0 rom and update the GSM.nb to 03.12.90 via this tool and save the .nbh, can i flash this rom just by using the default ROMUpdateUtility without bricking my device?

i tried this program on the htc x7500 wm6 rom and it worked great... looking forward to the OS tool

prophet
so far nothing for prophet device.
thanks anyway.
nice tools.

Creating own Diamond kitchen....

I have finally managed to dump my rom of my TD. My main goal is to create a rom which is personalised for myself with cab files like WIMP, TT, SPB Time etc... programs i bought for my TC.
Now i have 4 .raw files and decided to download the Diamond Kitchen. After download i got a "kitchen" but with the parts from the Diamond rom which ofcourse i don't need.
I have read alot of WIKI pages, but i cannot find a tutorial how to create an own rom with personalised cab files.
What i have done:
1- created .raw files of my current rom 1.37.405.1 WWE
2- Downloaded the original rom of 1.37.405.1 WWE from HTC
3- Downloaded the Diamond kitchen here http://rapidshare.com/files/124999979/Diamond_HH_RomKitchen.part1.rar and http://rapidshare.com/files/125003993/Diamond_HH_RomKitchen.part2.rar (credits goes to caxio)
This is what i have now

In the OEM map i have lots of tools. My guess these are the tools which are going to be installed after a hard reset.
In the ROM map i have a XIP map and a OS.NB.payload file
In the SYS map i have a kinds of dll maps
And in the TOOLS map i have a lot of tools
My first question about this is...how can i extract the files from my dumped rom for the OEM, ROM and SYS maps?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoExtractImgfs
This is a site i found for extracting .raw files, but the commands are for linux isn't? I am running windows

rename your *.raw file to imgfs.bin and use this method :

or use kaiser system for create sys oem and xip remplace in chinese kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
i have used for rebuild italian rom

I have taken a Kaiser kitchen, edited the htcrt.ini, placed RUU_signed.nbh .raw01 and .raw02 in the baseRom folderand pushed on !BEGIN.cmd
Let found out what happens....at first it created errors, but after that it began to make OS.nb etc...

At this moment i am at the HTC rom tool...everything looks ok for now
Is this ok?

IMO, if you really read the link that was given by caxio, you will be able to cook your own rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
what i dont understand is why you are bother to extract .RAW from your device?
you can extract it from the available ROM (maybe using kaiser kitchen from alex), and cook it the way you like it, and repack again using that chinese kitchen...

Hmm, never thought of that indeed. But as far as i could see when i place the raw01 and raw02 files in the baseRom map, it automatically extract the raw files. And i dont know how to do it with the original rom.

you can extract the original rom and maybe some custom rom using existing kitchen... and with a few clicks you will get OEM, SYS and ROM (with XIP inside) folders...

Ok, what i have done so far is:
placed RUU_signed raw01 & raw02 in the BaseRom
Pushed !BEGIN.cmd and everything is running.
At the HTC rom tool i have selected the OS-new.nb file and created a new RUU_signed.nbh
So for now everything looks fine. But the now the main goal. Creating a personalized ROM with my own cab files and programs.
Before i push !COOK.cmd i can play with the programs i guess in the OEM folder. But is there a tutorial how to add programs to the OEM folder? Or ofcourse deleting it?

look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser%20ROM%20Kitchen%20Tutorial
that is for kaiser... but the basic will be the same...
anyway i am not so sure that you can use kaiser kitchen to repack diamond...

Hey Yzord,
If you want to add apps to the rom you must convert your cabs to a socalled OEM package.
This package contains all files that need to be installed(*.exe,images and such), a file called "initflashfiles.txt"(unicode) that tells the buildOS where to put the files, and at last an .RGU file that contains registry settings for the programme.
A tool that can do this is called : Ervius Package Creator
Simply open the tool and open a cab file, then convert it to oem and there you go, your own oem file.
Then place the folder into the folder OEM and youre ready to go.

ps. making my own kitchen right now, so when it's done i'll let u know so you can take a peak into it.

I have downloaded the kaiser kitchen, but in the whole process no Ervius Package_Tools comes up. Also the dos prompt at the start is different.
That is why i ask here, cause the tutorial isnt updated anymore for the latest kaiser kitchen

I'm using the kaiser kitchen for almost a week now, so yes it will repack it good for the diamond as I flashed a lot of ROMS with my personal (created) OEM package's trying to amke them integrated into my personal rom.
In Kaiser Kitchen u can choose: <p> create a oem package
Also, in the directory of the kitchen there is a folder TOOLS, in this folder you would also find "packages creator 5.4.exe" wich is Ervius Package_Tools or option <m> in the menu.
be sure the kitchen is in the root of your drive(like C:\Kaiser ) otherwise file names could be to long.
PS: if you want some more help (van een nl-er ) just PM me and whe can chitchat on msn maybe

ok the thing is all the folders OEM,SYS & ROM have to be copy to os.nb.dump folder.
os.nb have to be copied into the ROM folder.
u can extract the os.nb from the test softbank rom ... extract the *.exe with winrar etc.
Then use nbhextract.exe to get the os.nb from ruu_signed.nbh
hope this will help

os.nb was extract from test softbank rom and it put into ROM folder.
But, change is not shown in "Could not find a part of path 'XIP'."
The *.bin file in ROM folder is not changed into XIP holder.
Are there other methods which I should perform?

ok what is inside ur os.nb.dump?
does it have

When using XIPPort.exe, it went well.
But, what can be created is only OS file.
Please teach me the creation method of IPL, SPL, ExtROM, GSM, SubSplash, and MainSplash.

First of all, Thanks a lot for your work Cruzzmz!
I'd also like to have a original IPL, SPL, Radio & Splashes.
Anyone have it in hand(without test only logo) or let us know how to make one?
TIA!

I think u dont need ori SPL, IPL ....
to extract radio (GSM) u have to extract ruu_signed.nbh with nbextract.exe
just take the GSM.nb portion & use nbmerge to merge it back to ruu_signed.nbh
splash u can use any nb img tool

can u repost cavalier kitchen please, it's remove from hosting.
but if u let me think... i need 2 files from cavalier rom - peripheral.dll & wavedev.dll
i'll be grateful if somebody can extract them 4 me

I'm confused. Is there any difference between this ROM and the one that you first posted for the Cavalier?

[Guide] Start Icons Skins QVGA-WQVGA-VGA and How-to

Hello i made this thread to post my skins for start icon, a thread already exist but it will be clearly at that, i think

Here is a preview of differents skins you can use
For QVGA WQVGA:
Install "Icone demarrer.cab" it's just 2registry key. (thank to my friend Shakass)
Then put in "/Windows"the file named "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
**** is the localization code of your ppc's rom (040C for France and 0409 for US/UK)
The files you'll find in the folder are in 040C so change them if you're not french.
And Soft reset
This operation will replace too your wait cursor by the wait cursor vista by Marshall if you want to keep your cursor follow the How-to instructions to extract and modify your shellres.96.dll file.
If you want to put your original system just erase your shellres.96.dll.****.mui file and soft reset.
The folder QVGA-WQVGA contains all the Start icons
French Code 040C

HTC on post #93
Change Start text​
Open the file named shellres.dll.****.mui and go the String value 321 change the name, compile script and save then sign with MSsigner and put in /Windows; Enjoy !!
Here is some shellres.dll.040C.mui modified: Démarrer, Start, HTC, SFR, Vide(empty)
Change the country code if necessary.
If you like it, you can Donate to XDA .

For VGA:
Same manipulation just the name of the file is "shellres.192.dll.****.mui"
The folder VGA contains only the "Blue windows" and "Office" Start icons for the moment if VGA's user wants some other, request it
"Points" icon added.
Apple Colors - Blue vista - Blue windows - Superstart added on post #168

Big Thanks to
Lolento who made a "How-to" to create and change your own icon;
Marshall who give us the way and all other xda members
Here is the Start discussion thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378084
And the first How-to of Lolento on post #40.
If you like it, you can Donate to XDA .

Thanks. I will try it in a bit.

How-To
​If you want to create your own icon,
For QVGA WQVGA
Create an icon in 21x18 then save as .ico file (32bits)
Take one of the "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" file
Or if you want to keep your own Wait cursor:
Copy to your SD card then to your PC the file named "shellres.96.dll"
Open it in Reshacker and go to "Icon group/4609
Clic on Action/Replace Icon/Open new file
Insert your new icon, clic replace.
Save your modified file takes the name of the old "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" and the old takes the name of "shellres.96.dll.****.mui".
If you have used your own "shellres.96.dll" file rename it as "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
Open Mssigner,search your shellres file, clic Start sign Process
a window appear "Process finished!" then go where is your shellres file, a text file has been create
Open it, if there is wrote "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped,Succeeded" that prouved all is okay
After you know the suit.
For VGA
Same things just the size of the icon must be 41x36 and the name must be "shellres.192.dll.****.mui"
What is my Country Number?
Execute the Mortscript which is in the folder "ShellresNameHelper" (with Mortscript) Big Thank to mr_deimos for this script.
All the Softs are in the Tools folder
If you need some ideas here is a french site with lot of PNG image
http://www.customxp.net/PngFactory/
Write in the search bar what you want.
When you do a start icon file
Post the info (VGA QVGA; US FR)
And the PNG file or a screenshot
Enjoy!!!

Cab Version of the Certificates
Here is a Cab Version of the certificates for those who are not comfortable with Registry Editor. This worked perfect for me.
Thanks for the great skins.

works great on my tilt thanks a lot

Once I install the cab, what do I do? And how do you go about changing among the various icons? Sorry for the rookie questions.

Choose an icôn and go in the folder which has the same name, then put the shellres file you'll find in windows. If you aren't french change the "040C" by your localization code (0409 for US)

hey amigo great post ( pub AM first Post please lol)

Do I have to put the icon itself under "Windows" as well or do I leave that in the folder? And ho do you get the default flag back if you don't like a particular icon?

^No you have to add the icon with Reshacker in your shellres file found in the /Windows folder.
Thanks alot for these clear instructions. Will give it a try when I have the time.

@johanrominj: I don't understand what you say
@rock4mayo: I never had this message when copying new file
maybe try to rename the old as "shellres.96.dll.****.old.mui" then copy new file; soft reset and erase old file...Tell me if it's okay.

I would like to have this:
as my Start-Menu icon.
Can you give me the original points.png file in VGA, or can you make shellres.192.dll.****.old.mui with this file included?
That's better for you?

PS: kitchen does not contain ROM And SYS folders, you can download them from post 2.
Rom Creation steps:
Your completed kitchen folder should have:
SYS Folder (Download from post 2)
OEM Folder (Included in kitchen on post 1)

- To set your custom boot screen replace: SYS\Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320\welcomehead.96.png
- To set background set SYS\base_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\Default_stwater_240_320.gif

Where to place what.... first we need to know some things...
if you get the 21807... you'll get two folders... ROM and SYS
Inside the ROM Folder:
Here you will find three files os.nb.payload, ROMhdr.bin and xip.bin this three files are the Kernel but compressed.
you will got a folder called XIP, inside you will get three more OEMXIPKernel this folder has the HERMES specific modules that makes run the OS.
you will find the MSXIPkernel the second part of the build that heps the kernel to boot but specilized on the OS, not the Device, and finally... the MSxipkernel... nobodys knows why this should be inserted too, cause the carrier by this feature must update the OS but they just make new complete upgrades.
Inside the SYS Folder
The SYS is the OS... i mean all the programs updated for every build I mean... all the apps that is needed to boot and run some other apps that exist in this folder here you will find MODULES and FILES... but
How can you difference a module from a file... easy... module is a .dll or an .exe or some images but transformed to files like S000 or similar names, why to convert a file to a Module..? thats because the modules exist cause they are stored in other partition of the NAND memory of our devices... to run faster and get some more RAM or storage to dispose.
in some posts before this I wrote one, where we have said wich folders from the SYS can be deleted and dont makes issues at boot. check it!
!!!!THE KITCHEN!!!!​
Where to place what?????
When you DL the kitchen you must to unrar it to a folder in C:
I use this address
C:\Hermes 21222\ here all the kitchen tools and folders
So how does your kitchen must be like... see this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
a little big to have all the deph on words...
When to use OEM and when to use EXT:
OK, the OEM folder wil be processed always! so here you will add the changes that you wish to the UI of the OS... some drivers... and the addons... this cant be skiped!
the EXT folder always will be processed but:
WHe you set on the .bat file Premium... Basic... Vanilla... all the ext packages must to have this files inside "_only_Premium" "_only_Basic" "_only_Vanilla" and the kitchen will recognize wich apps must be on Basic Premiun or Vanilla if you palce two or three files... you indicates to the Kitchen that the app must be installed on whatever build you will do.
This file can be created like this:
Make a new txt file and name it as you wish "_only_XXXXX" (XXX for the build flavor you want) inside you must to type the word "TRUE" without the quotes of course.... then save it... and erase its file extension it will say are you sure! the file could be inservible or something like that.
How to control the initial customization or setup to run the cabs:
well, if you go to this address
C:\HERMES_21222\OEM\COMMON
you will find this folder "OEMOPERATORS" inside you will find all the cabs taht will be installed after the first boot or HR, how to change them?
easy... as the SD config... there is a file called config.txt so... change the values or add a new one with the new cab you wish to install.
Insert inside the folder OEMOPERATORS the cab you want and make it HIDE on file properties to hide it on the windows folder
how to change the default cantact manager?
well the contact manager we use in this Kitchen is stored on the EXT packages find it... and change the "_only_premium" file to "_skip" and this contact manager shouldnt be installed... but remmember to add the default one in OEM or EXT, this depends on wich you find or you can made from a cab to OEM or from the OEM to EXT, there are tools that can help you make this and some tutorials here on XDA that teachs you how to do it...
The sip can be changed too in EXT just found the skin there ina folder and change the file to _skip and add your new sip collor... or get another sip and add it as EXT or OEM.
If everything is ok... run the .bat and wait a little.
I hope this can helps you. if yoou have more Q's ask here please.
