How to cook own rom - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi
I am intrested in making my zinc WM6 ... but I couldnt find any in cooked rom for it. Just wondering is there any how to in making cooked rom? also where can i find the base WM6? Would be very grateful if anyone can share the know how ... eace:

for most devices cooking mean adding programs one wants in extented rom so they autoinstall
there is no such thing as a base rom all roms are unique to the device they were made for

thanks for the expalination ... if i want to make a rom for my zinc, how do i replace the existing WM5 rom to wm6 rom? and where can i find the wm6 rom? can i use the hermes wm6 rom i mean the posted wwe,cht, jp roms? as the base of the wm6 rom ? TQ

no only a custom zink wm6 rom if such a rom exist would do

ok ... but then again for others like wizard or hermes there r still no WM6 rom right? so how did do they come out with a WM6 rom?? thanks again

a beta test rom was leaked for some devices
like many of the wm5 roms for devices like himalaya and blue angel were leaked
but some devices will get official roms from htc believe hermes is one of those

Um, very interesting. Rudegar, seems like you know a lot about this ROM business. (myself, i'm unexperienced, but would like to know something). So, tell me:
I personally own a Dell Axim x50v WM5 A02, and while Dell would no longer provide any, since they just discontinued those models, i was searching for the custom upgrades.
So, do you need to have a leaked base WM6 ROM specifically designed to be run on an Axim, in order to built a WM6 Custom ROM for Dell Axim, or can you still make one from scratch, AND i mean use any leaked WM6 ROM (such as the one for the Hermes), and then rewrite some lines of code in order to adjust it to the different drivers installed on an Axim?
Some Russian guys from 4PDA made a WM5 AKU 3.5.2 custom upgrade for the Dell Axim by adjusting it to its drivers (they are experiencing some issues with them thou). While it is not WM6, do you need to have a leaked AKU or something for that device as well, or is it just for running an entirely different operating system on it? WM5 itself is a natural OS running on a Dell Axim x51v.
But they also claimed that they can make in the same way Wm6 upgrade for Dell Axim. Without the already leaked WM6 ROM for it, is it really possible?

in theroy i guess you can make it from scratch but it's suppose to be diff
read this for info about the topic in general
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296728&highlight=drivers+AMD+WM6

So, does upgarding just the AKU, which was never released for the device, requires the leaked version as a whole OS?

HP iPAQ hx4700 and Crossbow

Hi there,
Since Crossbow is running perfectly on my Universal, I wanted to give another model a try, so anyone ever succeeded in having the iPAQ hx4700 running Crossbow?
I know it might be a bit dangerous, but I already tried to put the hx4700 in the bootloader and to flash a HTC Universal Crossbow ROM.
It actually starts upgrading, but after a few %'s the screen turns blank and with a soft reset the device will restart.
Something to forget or is there a way?
i m currently doing some rom cooking for my 4700...
working out the wm6!
Great!!
I'd say: please share when you've something done.
i cant find anything similar to initflashfiles.dat

If it isn't this is no new leaked ROM. It's one of the first WM6 ROM's for the HTC Universal. Many other have already been released after this one.

Any progress made on a Crossbow ROM for hx4700?
I'm really interested on some new ROM for the hx4700. It has not been beaten yet in terms of speed and screen size! Why not WM6 on it??
I already found a few ROM's, but i'm hoping too, that the hx4700 community will pick this up as well as the HTC one ...
Bart

A Modded WM5 version
I hope somebody does get a WM6 rom working for the hx4700. It's time for a step up from the unstable modded WM5s with a pretty WM6 theme.

Cooks Help needed.

Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance
PDAJAS
ImateJasjam (HERMES100)
Radio: 1.20.31.10
Rom: Black IV Shadow
Olipro 2.10
Telstra AUS
Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,

WM6 ROM creation for x50 non-VGA

Im wondering if its possible to create a rom for an x50 using WM6. Im new to this crowd but i dont have a problem getting my hands dirty. I have some experiance creating and hacking non WM phones so i figure i can probably keep myself from drownding.
I know almost all of the new PPC's and Smartphones are VGA, does WM6 only run on VGA phones? also it seems the only roms out there for WM6 are for VGA devices, is that the reason?. Im also wondering how hard it would be to modify an existing WM6 rom for the x50v so that it would work with the x50(if thats possible).
my PPC is 520mhz with 128mb ram QVGA
I would greatly appreciate some help/nudge in the right direction.
Kind of duplicate thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323523
The process is probably the same as building a rom for a x50v, which is easier than doing it for an x51v as there is an issue for creating/modifying xip. However You can check if you can directly re-use x50v xip.
KINDA...helps
The thread helped alittle, pointed me to the tools. However, i still dont know if its possible and i dont want to try it and have the result of a bricked PDA.
I don't see why it would not be possible. You need to extract your nb0 to start, since you have it, you can always recover from a corrupted rom. I had already extract file from a x51 rom with success using those tools. I don't have any x50, x51 device to try it. But I already modified several x51v rom using those tools to be able to fix the CF bug on Football A17 rom.

Hi
Well...
I tried to start up looking into the differences in the roms but i can't even open them
Ill try some more but i think it's just waist of time. U really need a good coder like football to do this...
Let's hope someone can do the magic for x50/x51 like he did with the v editions
By the way, isn't there a possibility to port a x51v to a x51 rom ?

Pure rom for Uni

I want to upgrade my Uni to wm6 but I don't like the cooked rom.
Where I can D/l it? Please!
Simple answer, you can't.
WM6 was never officially brought out for the Uni. It was ported and built by the very clever people here.

help finding official WM6.1 Rom for Spv M3100

Hi experts,
I need to get official Wm6.1 rom for my spv m3100 (Orange).
I tried to search forum and wiki, but failed to get some required result.
I would really appreciate if anyone can find my desired rom.
In fact I have'nt dumped my original wm5 rom and loaded HARDSPL 7 and then flashed with other hermes roms one by one.
Thanks a lot
The last official upgrade for hermes was wm6
You will never found the 6.1 stock for hermes.
Thanks for the reply.
So officially, only WM 6 was released and WM 6.1 was built by people themselves?
And where can I find official WM 6 Rom for Hermes Orange (SPV M3100)
Thanks
Seek and you shall find!

Yes, I have HardSPL 7. But that's for preventing the Bricking.
Why original rom will brick a HardSPL installed phone?
