Hi XDA-Developers!
First of all: you did a really great job and thanks a lot for ROM 1.1!!
I just want to ask you to explain initobj.txt, files1-dir and files2-dir a little bit more, so i can make my own ROM, and maybe a german ROM.
i'm little bit confused with the format of initobj.txt corresponding to the files in dirs files1 and files2. not every file in the file dirs is listed in initobj.txt. Why? How are these files arranged in the filesystem? ie. how do your scripts know where to put 'vxutil_cl.htp' - it's not in initobj.txt in cfg.
Maybe you could explain it a little bit more....maybe there is already some manual beside 'readme' ???
Thanks a lot.... Jabba
all files in rom can be found in the \windows directory. the initobj.txt files specifies for certain files that copies to other places should be made..
so if a file is not mentioned in initobj.txt, it is only visible in \windows.
also the name of a file in \windows does not nescesarily correspond to the name in wherever it was copied to by initobj
initobj.txt has 2 types of lines ( there are more, but I never looked at them )
Code:
Directory(..dir..) :- Directory(...subdirname...)
to create a subdirectory in 'dir'
Code:
Directory(..dir..) :- File(..filename.. , ...source...)
creates copy of 'source' as 'filename' in directory 'dir'
the reason there are 2 'files' directories, is that there are 2 empty spaces in the rom (1M before the bootsplash, 5M after the bootsplash). I could have made the mkrom script more advanced, and have it automatically figure out how to optimally sqeeze files in either space 1, or space 2. but I didn't , so I'll leave it to the rombuilder to decide how large to make each region.
thanks for your answer!
will it be a true copy from source ? I mean will there be two identical files in the rom then or is it more like a link to the source-file?
another question: is there something in your scripts which is language-dependant ? like the altered welcome.exe ??
in the german rom there are some dirnames different - so i would have to alter the reg-file and the initobj to fit them. Do i have to alter other files as well? Like operator or the welcome.exe ?
Jabba
By the way, would be developers so kind to explain the ways how to extract initobj.txt and default.reg files from the ROM? Or perhaps "original" Qtek ROM files could be published?
I would be of a great help in my ROM-building...
thanks
we based everything on an english qtek rom. if you start with a german rom, you will have to pay attention to differing directory names.
you can get initobj.txt from initobj.dat, by converting the file from unicode
to plain ascii. I usually load it in vi, then do ":%s/^@//g" to strip all NUL characters, and then save it as .txt.
the default.reg you get by converting 'default.fdf' found in the rom, with
Code:
perl fdf2reg.pl default.fdf default.reg
and I wrote this tool (bottom of page) to extract files from a rom image. for most roms you type
Code:
dumprom nk.nbf -d files >nkinfo.txt
to extract the files to the directory 'files' ( which must exist ), and dump lots of info about the rom to nkinfo.txt
Before I write this tutorial, I would like to special thanks the following people:
1. Mamaich from Xda-developers for the build image tools
2. Sorg for starting the P525 hacking project and bring a lots tools to P525
3. Ingvarr for his P525RomTool for decrypting and calculating the ROM checksum
**** Warning, you could ruin yr device by doing the following. No one except yourself have to take the full responsibility if anything goes wrong ********
***** Section 1: obtain the imgfs_raw_data.bin from the rom *****
1. create nb0 file from CAP file by "P525RomTool.exe -d galaxy.cap"
2. create the imgfs_raw_data.bin file by "prepare_imgfs.exe ROMGalaxy.NB0 -nosplit"
3. Then modify the content by method 2a or 2b
***** Section 2a (Modify Rom content by Add/Remove files) ******
This method is very easy and relative low risk
1. Remove files in the Rom by "Delfile.exe <file name in the rom>"
2. Add files to the Rom by "Addfile.exe <file in yr computer>" (If the program crash, the rom is probably full)
***** Section 2b (Modify Rom content by extract and re-package) *****
More complicate and BuildImgfs.exe take a long time to build a package (Highly recommand to create a 256mb Ramdisk http://users.compaqnet.be/cn021945/RAMDisk/ramdiskfree.htm and work yr files over there to speed things up and reduce disk i/o). And BuildImgfs.exe probably have quite serious memory leak and cause the computer run slower everytime you run it. But this method is more flexable and manageable.
1. extract the content by "viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin"
2. add/replace/remove files in the dump directory
3. package the content back to imgfs_raw_data.bin by "BuildImgfs.exe" (take a shower then come back )
****** Section 3 (optional: Modify the registy content of the Rom file) ******
1. Get the default.hv and user.hv from 2b.1
2. do the following in DOS to convert the registry to readable format :
REM ****************************
SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
rgucomp -o default.hv -nologo > wwedefault.txt
rgucomp -o user.hv -nologo > wweuser.txt
REM ****************************
3. Add "REGEDIT4" in the beginning of the files, leave a blank line at the end of the file and save the file as UTF-16 or Unicode format.
4. Edit the files for registry setting
5. Do the following to replace the registy file w/ yr modification
REM *** Registry ****
Delfile.exe default.hv
Delfile.exe user.hv
attrib -h -s -r *.hv
SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
copy /y wwedefault.txt boot.rgu
RGUCOMP -b
copy /y boot.hv default.hv
Addfile.exe default.hv
copy /y wweuser.txt boot.rgu
RGUCOMP -b
copy /y boot.hv user.hv
Addfile.exe user.hv
REM *** Registry ****
******** Section 4 (Optional: Create Folders or copy files from \Windows to other directory)
1. Get the initflashfiles.dat from 2b.1
2. Study the sytnax (quite easy to understand) and modify it
3. Replace the file by
REM *** Configure the folder ****
Delfile.exe initflashfiles.dat
Addfile.exe initflashfiles.dat
******* Section 5 Convert imgfs_raw_data.bin to ROMGalaxy.NB0***************
1. Do the following to convert the file and update it's checksum
REM *** checksum ****
make_imgfs.exe ROMGalaxy.NB0 -nosplit
P525RomTool.exe -s ROMGalaxy.NB0
2. Copy the ROMGalaxy.NB0 and ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe to a newly FORMATED MiniSD.
3. Run the ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe on the P525, press and hold the "Camera" button and reset. And the update proceduce will begin.
***** Section 6 (Partly Tested) *************************
1. Rom from different language leave you different usable rom space. e.g WWE: ~73mb, HK & TW: ~58mb.
2. Therefore, imgfs_raw_data.bin from different language vary in size and give you different space to put yr files.
3. So, if you want more space to put in yr custom files for WWE rom. Do 2b.1 to extract the content and replace the bin and nb0 file w/ HK or TW's one before you do 2b.3. This gives you ~10mb more to put in yr custom file. (Tested. But must use 3.43 TW/HK for 3.43 WWE version, use w/ previous version, e.g Sorg's beta6, will have problem)
4. To have most usable Rom space w/ HK or TW rom, we could try the opposite of 3. (not tested)
***** Section 7 (NEW) Rom size adjustment *************************
The site is in Chinese and I am too lazy to translate. The tools posted there can adjust Rom size of P525

tks a lot for so particular tutorial
jack,could u plz help tell the method that how to free the rom space we don't use,so we could have >80MB strorage space like SORG's simple rom,that will be great!

I am not sure if it will work. but you can follow Section 6 and use Sorg's 80mb simple rom as a template.
I personally won't do it since I prefer to custom build and have all my most frequently use program inside the rom to save my backup space and time.

1. i installed wince cab manager and from there i can actually see the .cab contents, including where the files/folders will go, but how to fill up the registration info using wince cab? or i need to play aroung with wwwedefault.txt and wwweuser.txt?
2. i opened the initflashfiles.dat with notepad++ and see a lot of garbage there, how can I learn the structure and edit it?
3. i used method 2a to delete the files but at the same time use method 2b to dump the directory of .bin, is it ok? can i say section 3 & 4 is applicable if i use method 2b?
4. for section 5, i got the following error, not sure if this is expected or not.

1. Yes. Registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER goes to wweuser.txt and the rest goes to wwwdefault.txt
2. Use a editor that can handle multiple format (DOS/Unix/Unicode ...etc). I personally prefer UltraEdit
3. Yes. And yes, U need 2b step 1 in order to dump the content and obtains the *.hv and initflashfiles.dat
4. Yes, it's normal.

Great Job Jackleung, you are an Asian Sorg
1. What is actually different between Cantonese (HK) and Taiwanese version other than the pronounciation?
2. Do you mean your ROM based on Asus ROM 3.43? Or 3.34?
3. Does softmaker have capabilities to edit word, excel and powerpoint file? Or only excel?
4. I thought hard reset is poweroff button + softreset? I might be wrong.
5. By using cantonese voice command, can I record english command instead?
6. May I know the details step on how you do the registry hack for maximum performance? Are you using tools like tweaks2ks, sktools to tune it first then export the registry to wwweuser and wwwedefult?
7. Until now I'm still a bit blur on the ROM/RAM terminology. When you said 74MB usable ROM left, do you mean we can only install or occupied the ROM up to 74MB?
8. Is there a tools to edit galaxy.cap directly? Or even better, I imagine if there is a tools to read galaxy.cap, do a software P525 simulation like Soti remote control (we are seeing Asus P525 from PC but based on galaxy.cap), learn all the setting we set then save it back to galaxy.cap Anyone dare to take the challenge to build that software?
9. Can we post a request for an applications / features to be included in your ROM? I start first.
- Set SMS/Email default input to T9 Abc (no. 1 priority).
- Replace default photo & video viewer with Resco Photo Viewer
- Add Adobe reader, flash lite.
- Add mobipocket reader - to read pdb, txt, html.
- Add vito audio notes - to record incoming/outgoing call.
- Add Citrix ICA client - to allow PIE to access Citrix terminal server
- Add profimail - pop3/imap client that i think better than flexmail
- Add pocket music
- Add pshutxp
- Add soti pocket controller enterprise client
- Add .net compact framework 2 sp2
- Add common time mNotes - to sync with Lotus Notes email
- Add pockettty
- Add pocket breeze
- Add tweaks2k, sktools (ignore if you think the tweaks is alreay optimal)
- Add Netfront browser with Java support, this is to access java enabled internet banking
- novi remote
- etc.
Sorry if a bit too much
Cheers,
Vibranze

but T9 sim chinese input doesn't display in new 3430 WWE rom,i wonder could u plz help me find my fault...tks!
First, the purpose I am starting this thread is too share ideas of how to custom build P525 rom and I will share whatever ROM I am using since I have to build it anyway. I probably don't have time and energy custom build and debug for individual (unless you can convince me this is a must software for ME too ) . Of course, I am more than happy if you find errors on my build so that I can perfect it.
A general rule of software that I will put in the rom as follow:
1. Very important and useful that has to be survival after hard-reset (e.g Resco Explorer and TCPMP)
2. Software with frequently update (e.g. Pocketbreeze) WILL NOT be consider
To answer yr question
1. I didn't see any and this question should goes to the other thread.
2. 3.43WWE is the latest
3. Why don't you google it and see what it does??
4. Yes, U are definitely wrong.
5. Cantonese VC understand and speak Cantonese. It doesn't matter what language of VC you use if you record and use "voice tag" only. But you can always use Delfile/Addfile to put back the English VC.
6. No. Google is yr friends here. In fact, there are couple wikis in Xda-developers for WM5 optimization.
7. RAM is seperate thing after WM5. To see what I mean, compare the "start > Settings > Memory" and you will know I mean.
8. No. I don't even need to start this tutorial if such tool exist.
9. No. Unless you can convince me I need to have this software for myself first. ;p Currently on my plan in priority (not sure how many I can fit):
- Skype
- PocketAlarm
- Flexwallet
- Resco Picture Viewer
- Resco Audio Recorder
- Pocketmax Phonealarm
- Novii Remote control
- soti pocket controller enterprise client
I found Sktools is very unstable for P525 (Hard-reset is need if use it's optimize setting)

http://www.medankia.org/ROMGalaxy.part2.rar
http://www.medankia.org/ROMGalaxy.part3.rar
actually it is worth to pay for rapidshare premium membership, it's really fast and a lot of good stuff over there, some more it's not that expensive.
let me know once you downloaded them, i will delete them. thanks.
hope this help.

improvement patch update on #5
hi jackleung,
thanks for the patch.
how would addfiles know where to locate the files from windows into p525, eg. if the .lnk file i need to put it under \Windows\Start Menu\Programs how do we do it? Or addfiles will add everything under \Windows ?
And how to do the registration of the software before addfiles them into p525?
Thanks.
cheers,
vibranze
Tks Jack.
Several points want your help.
When I edit the initflashfiles.dat, what edit tool I shou use? What kinds of format I should save it after I finished edit?
could you tell me how to find out the related files form the main file of one application? for example, I want to delete the biz card recongnization, how can I fond which files should I delete?
Jack,
Thanks for the How to info.
How can we replace Chinese page warning of Hardreseting by phone green button to English?
And how to change ROM info in Device Information page?
Hi, I'm preparing all you need to kook a italian rom by yourself...
in some minutes 1st part, with programs that you need to extract .nb files from .nbh, and reassemble .nbh as you like, how to dump a rom and how recompile it..
bye!!!
ok, the utilityes you need are:
*** all utilities are ready to download in the end of this post!!! ***
1) nbhtool_trin.rar
2) package_tool.rar
3) nbdumper.rar
4) bepe_kichen_trinity_ita_WM-6.1.rar
Code:
6.1 bepe_kitchen.rar
5) Flash_nbh.rar (included into kitchen!)
6) rgu to xml transform an rgu or a reg file into a provxml file!!
7) dsm patcher to update also the dsms files to respect the rom's os and build version
1) nbtool from dutty is usefull to decompile/recompile nbh , decompil enbh, choose nbh to decompile, you have 1 or more .nb files, windows.nb is that you need, the rom, you should find also:
radio.nb (radio)
first/second_splash.nb (the 2 images shown as splashscreens!!!)
ipl.nb (boot of trinity...)
spl.nb
and other that now I not remember...
................
to recompile the nbh file, just select that you need (os.nb, first.nb second.nb)
for my experiences, try first times only with os.nb, choose the file and compile the nbh files,your rom is ready to be flashed into device...
2) package tools analize the dumped os windows.nb and tell about sys and oem versions, more it creates packages of dumped rom, and insert all files into the 2 system directory "oem" and "sys" with button (menu) "build packages"
3) nbdumper from tadzio, it is the important tool togheter bepe kichen, with it you are able to dump "windows.nb"
put windows.nb into the folder, dos prompt and write:
nbdump windows.nb (then press enter...)
in few minutes you have inside also the directory named: windows.nb.dump, iside you can find all files that will be in rom on your device...
4) now open package tools by bepe, search this directory, and analize, after analizing, click on build packages...
after some time, you in "windows.nb.dump" directory have: sys and oem folders...
this is the real os...
now you neeedd xip directory...
copy windows.nb into the directory named:XIP_extract (that you can find in "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita" tool...
copy it into the directory, rename from windows.nb into "os.nb"
click on "Make_XIP.bat" and then you have "xip" folder...
copy xip folder into "rom" folder in of "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita", copy os.nb too into "rom" folder, so you have rom folder and inside:xip fiìolder and os.nb...
ok...
now, oem and sys folder obtained with package tools, copy them into "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita" tools, and you have:
oem, sys, tools, xip_extract and rom folders, and the exes...
now is ready...
you have to click on "buildos.exe" and the rom will be build, ok, now there is a new folder, "temp", now you have finished, only click on createrom.bat and in few seconds you can find into \temp\ folder a file named os-new.nb, this is the new rom, build .nbh with dutty nbtools, and can flash it on your device!!!
5) to flash put nbh created into folder:Flash_nbh, flash....
next, tools and howto: create extended_roms;create own splashscreens, adding own packages (the packages are additional programs... into I left yet 3/4 packages from mine!!).....
*******************************************************************
I must make all credits also to udK, that discovered with me the right way to kook roms...
and invite all people to make some dotations to him, for the hard work that he made to have a good italian rom to mount on our devices!!!
thanks friend...
*******************************************************************
I think is better to try with udk or lasagna roms to start, they are perfext and logically structured as bepe kichen wants!!!
bye!!!
****************************************************************************************
*
* P.S.: and finally I think that if you decide to use udk rom to make experiments, you have to donate him,
* and if uou want to use lasagna rom to learn to use bepe kichen, also you have to make donations to guybrush.
* they worked hard to translate the rom, you must donete to use theyr roms I think is the only think to do
* to tell them "thanks!!!", really...
*
****************************************************************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 2:
how make own splashscreen!!!
just open an image or create one, with also paint;
make it 240x320 pixels, 240 in width, 320 in height...
save it as bmp, with 24 bits...
open it with nb_image_converter
convert to "nb"
save it as first and second.nb...
now, if you don't have windows.nb use dutty's nbtools to extract from rom, reuse nbtools to compile nbh, add
in os: windows.nb
in "first splash" the file first.nb
in "second splash" the file second.nb...
compile nbh file and flash into ppc, when you finish, you can see you freferred splash screens!!
next:
create a package and/or translate the exe/mui files in your language with resource hacker!!!
try to open an exe, or first a mui files if there is into the package!!
you can see:
icon (you are able to change it , but is not important for us!!)
dialog, you can move the object inside them, rename or translate strings and other...
string table, here you can change, translate in your language tje strings of mui/exe!!!
and other, but for modify translate this basts!!
see later!!! bye!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 3:
for mui:
if you have traslated them, you have also to rename: exaple, if therer is amui xxx_409.mui, in english of couse, and you stranslated it into italian, you hace also to rename it by xxx_409.mui to xxx_410.mui!!!
and for italians mui you can use the ones from tynh wm6 Italian rom!!!
and also initflashfiles.dat must be traslate...:
and also rgu files:example:
string: "programs" must became "programmi"
string: "my pictures" must became "immagini"
etc.etc.
howto: CREATE A PACKAGE!!!
ok, download theese utility:
wince cab manager from here:
http://www.ocpsoftware.com/
(full funcional trial for 15 days!!!)
and my utility: packages creator (a little tools of mine!! )
from here:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPPED:
(new version... bugs solved... option improved!!!)
now in bilingual ITA/ENG, and with more option to personalyze your new packages!!
new beta with more and more options to create initflashfiles.txt...
flag:"simulate folder names" on wince cab manager and put reg file into package folder you choice...
example: "...\trypackage\windows\batterystatus\batterystatus.exe"
you have to put reg file into "...\trypackage\to-import.reg" ok???
and here the new beta of package creator!!!
Hi all, from a Bennec83's Idea I released this last version that works with cab analyzer, and make packages from cab files automatically...
*******************************Re-reupped 1st good working release!!! 4.1 *********************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok!!!!
P.S.: if th bepe kichen shows an error during the kook operation, it will be becouse there is another file (duplicate file) yet present in rom, delete it from other subfolder, not in the package just inserted...
next appointmant to create own extended_rom!!! and some triks on registry (modifing rgu files!!!)
see you!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 4 playing with extended rom:
howto: create and use extended roms...
ok, have to download the utility htc_extended_rom_editor
I think is all.... (for now!!!)
your knowledge about roms, its components, how to dump, build, add packages are full... rests to edit rgu and provxml...
but in next days....
bye bey and good experiments!!!
*********************************************************************************
*********************************** ******************************
*********************************** UPDATES ******************************
new version of buildos+packagetools, some imporvements, and context menu on packages to enable/disable them by default!!

thanx, let's start cook togheter
--reserved for packages--
I only hope that my 3d iwill be usefull to be better, and share togheter a lot of packages for our trinity devices!!
see lather...
I love you.
This is what I searched for long time.
Two question.
1) What difference there is between this and Orginiale Bepe ROM kitchen form Hermes.
2) Can I use all ROM that i Want to start the cooking?
....
3) This is possible some mirror not rapidshare? (for example www.divshare.com)
Grazie mille.
Viva il P3600.

1) infinite greetings to bepe for the beautifull tool...
the kichen is the same, only you have os and xip for trinity (after you extrapolated oem-sys folders and xip!!!)
2) you can use all roms you want, also in other languages, but only if they , after you dumped and analyzed with bepe package tools, and have oem and sys folders (and xip folder...), but if you try with roms that have missed files, you must try to insert them into oem or sys dolder, you, after use bepe package tools must see only "oem" and "sys" folder, nothing else, to know that the rom is really ok..., in other case the rom was built in confused mode or with other utilities, that I consider oldier...
bye!!!
and my final point is also share a lot of packages....
for now I think it's all, but in few days I explain also howto build packages and other....
see you!!
ervius, very good tutorial i think it'll be useful not only for italian people but for everyone who want learn how to cook their own rom. Just a tip...be careful, read everything and try to understand how these tools works and check everything before try to flash your device.

Hi...... morf3o.
added lesson 2 (how to create/modify images and create your splashscreens at ppc boot!!!)
at first post!!
see you later to build our first package!!!
I tried this tools with Lasagna 205 ROM.
I arrived to package tools
When I press "Build Packages" I've this error:
Code:
Syntax error map.txt:
tom
tom is the last lin of map.txt.
Can i delete it witouth problem?
At the end I've also the OEM and SYS directory but there are also three file out all directory:
Recorder.exe
Voice Recorder (link)
Recorder.exe.0410.mui
It's ok?
One Advice.
To arrive at DUMP directory and afther to OEM and SYS I found more easy and fast this way:

thanks ciccio but i'd like to continue with bepe's kichen, do you like use it??
ok...
3 files are out, put them into \oem\oemapps\ directory, so you now have only oem and sys directory, then... extract xip etc... etc...
ok!!!
thank's for your answers.
I like also Bepe's Kitchen. GO ON!
For the Syntyax error?

Sorry for my newbie question...
In my understanding all this tools are working with ROM files you already found "somewhere".
What I want to do first is getting a working ROM out of a Trinty device. E.g. I have a german Vodafone device with the Vodafone custom ROM. I simply want to "copy" this ROM on my Harddisk. No changes. I only want to be able to flash it back if I want to, to have the device in the same state it is now.
Which tool do I have to use?
What do I have to do?
Check this article
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
Ciao
A question ervius:
we suppose that I succeed to modify/create my first ROM, exists a way in order to test it without flash on my device? A way for being sure that if I flash, i do not burn my trinity....
Thanks........ morf3o.

Here is the updated version of my Lg multidevice kitchen. It now supports :
- ks20
- ct810
- gm730
- gm735
- gm750
- gw820
- vs750
::These tools have been made thanks to: MisterJp, CopsFrance, Teoami, Bepe, Ervius, No2Chem, Da_G, Cmonex, Jayautros
This kitchen is now built around ervius visual kitchen for bepe's platform rebuilder. I don't really like write a lot, so I won't explain every option in details, nor will I write a "how to cook roms for dummies", it's already been done in the past, if you know how to search, you'll find very interesting threads on it on this forum.
Kitchen options (use "*" to switch between standard and advanced options)
SELECT DEVICE
::1-KS20 2-Incite ...
Needed for every operation below, don't forget to set it.
DUMP FUNCTIONS
::a- Extract DZ File
Extracts baserom\rom.dz file into baserom folder
::t- Extract BIN ROM File
Extracts baserom\rom.bin file into baserom folder (for vs750)
::b- Extract Flash.bin
Extracts baserom\flash.bin into builtrom\temp, creating directories if they don't exist.
::c- Dump imgfs.bin
Extracts content of builtrom\temp\part_2_imgfs.bin file to temp\dump, allowing you to edit windows files.
::d- Dump bin.bin
Extracts content of builtrom\temp\part_1_rawfs.bin to ROM\XIP
::e- Launch ErviusKitchen
Launches ErviusKitchen, allowing you to modify and generate a new rom
BUILD FUNCTIONS

Creates new imgfs from temp\dump folder to builtrom\temp\imgfs.bin
::g- Build flash.bin
Generates a new flash.bin into builtrom folder based on builtrom\temp directory and new imgfs.bin
::h- Build rom.dz
Generates a new rom.dz into builtrom folder based on baserom mbns and new flash.bin
::u- Build rom.bin
Generates a new rom.bin into builtrom folder based on baserom mbns and new flash.bin (vs750)
::i- Build flasher
Generates a new rom.exe into builtrom folder based on rom.dz (only available for Incite)
XIP PORT
::j- Launch XipPort
Launches XipPort, allowing you to modify and generate a new xip
::k- Reloc Xip
Relocates xip after you've changed it using XipPort
::l- Use New Xip in Build functions
Allows you to use the Xip built with XipPort when building flash.bin (either from the kitchen or directly from ErviusKitchen)
::m- Restore original Xip in Build Functions
Allows you to use the original Xip when building flash.bin (either from the kitchen or directly from PkgToolsBuildOs)
Kitchen use:
Select the device you want to cook for (1=ks20, 2=incite...)
Take a dz file, and put it into baserom\(your device name) (KS20, incite, gm750...).
run start.bat
execute a, b, c, kitchen options
now copy temp\dump\sys into \sys\(your sys version), and arrange the files so that it looks like the \sys\20755 folder. Do the same with OEM folder (copy it to \OEM\(your device name).
execute d, and arrange xip folders : copy the content of your oemxipkernel into rom\(your device name)\(your ip version) and everything else into rom\shared\(your xip version)
go into tools\xipport. Launch xipport. Click "dump xip.bin"
OPTIONAL : If you want to port xip to another version click "make pkgs". Now replace modules\msxipkernel* and files\msxipkernel* with the ones from the newer xip. Click "undo".
execute Kitchen "k" and when a message tells you so, click "realloc p", "write maps", "build xip_out.bin". And finally, hit a key on the dos prompt to finish this step (DO NOT HIT A KEY BEFORE BUILDING XIP WITH XIPPORT ELSE IT WON'T WORK).
execute Kitchen "l" to use this xip.
execute "e" to launch ervius kitchen. Then select your device, language, ext, rom dpi, rom res, xip build and sys build. Choose the packages you want to include (for your convenience, I included a few packages tweaks and fixes in EXT\(your device name). Eventually click the "create" button.
Optional for Ks20, required for Incite : execute step h to produce a rom.dz file.
Now enjoy your new creation in builtrom\(your device name).
If you want to make a 1st rom easily, or if something went wrong and you want to verify you've done everything correctly, I'm also providing 2 packages (1 for KS20, 1 for Incite) with almost every step already done. They're very similar to the roms I made (xCite2b, KisS20.4). Download the package you want, extract it into your kitchen folder, then :
- Execute step "B" to generate a few files
- Execute step "E" to launch Ervius kitchen
- Optionnaly, try to rebuild xip part with step "K" and "L" (1st rename xipport\out.INCITE.21046 to xipport\out) (I'd suggest doing this only after building a 1st working rom)
- Click Load and select the preset for your device (INCITE_0409_20755 or KS20_409_20755).
- Click create (and for incite users, execute step "H" of the kitchen to produce a rom.dz).
That's it.
If every step was successful, you should have a flash.bin file in builtrom\(your device name) folder and optionnaly a rom.dz.
KS20 : Then just flash with lgmdp your baserom directory and just change flash.bin path from baserom\flash.bin to builtrom\flash.bin.
Incite : either use the usual way (rom.dz replacement) to flash your device or execute step "i" to produce a rom.exe with teoami tools.
Congratulations, you've just flashed your first LG <insert the name of your device here> cooked rom
Before you ask :
- I chose 20755 build because it's proven to be bugfree for Ks20 and Incite (and build is smaller too), if you understood the process, you should be able to build a rom for any wm build.
- Ks20/Incite Packages contain latest available oem parts (spanish 10e unbranded for the Ks20, 10x for the incite). (Incite is the clean version, if you want the full stock oem, just dump imgfs.bin)
- Base kitchen Ext folder contains everything to build a bugfree 20755 rom.
- If you want to make the same thing for wm6.5, just download a wm6.5 build.xip somewhere and replace the files in the kitchen.
- 20755 folder is not in the basic kitchen anymore, but I've made another archive that you can download if you need it.
- as for vs750 roms, you need to use bin (decrypted) files (not wdb). Don't forget to replace step "a" with "t" and step "h" with "u" in the tutorial above. You will need the decrypted roms available in the bottom of this post.
I'm just asking you 1 thing : if you make changes to this kitchen to improve it, please, share what you've done (and of course, if you're using it, you can also buy me a beer)
Kitchen history:
v2.3 [2011-10-13] - Added (partial: can't decrypt roms for now) support for VS750 roms.

good....a nice start........and thanks
Thanks for your great job! Hoping that KS20 will have its Cook Rom & WM6.1 at last!
waiting for wm6.1 on my lovely ks20
is this the most actual thread to the ROM cooking stuff
Would like to use french 1f ROM but cook German language into it
Greet`s Erich
I have made a flash.bin with language in german for the ROM HKG 10a, which is in normally in english. So, the HKG 10a is newer than the French 10f. Why to use an older ROM? Find the flash.bin here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131832687/flash.zip.html
Thank you itapower
many thanx!
Is there something I have to take care of?
Or can I flash it like I flashed the ROM from 10b to 10e?
Did you just change the language or also other stuff?
Is this ROM running without troubles?
Is it locked or branded?
I have unlocked KS20 with vodafone branding right now,...
Greet`s erich
changing language of ROM
don`t know why nobody from the pros is responding
Most of my questions I figured out yesterday - but I am very curious how to change the language of a ROM be myselfe
This I couldn`t figure out
Hope someone can tell me which of the 10 .mbn Files I have to change or is the language in the .bin
Greet`s Erich
Basically, you need to extract the flash.bin, replace *.409* folders with *.407* versions (407 is for germany) that you may find in another rom. That's not a trivial operation, although the kitchen helps a lot. There are tutorials here that explain this with more details (search for "translate" ou "localize" rom).
more questions
Hello spocky12!
I got really interested in cooking ROMS while playing around with the kitchen
But I don`t get the difference between "flash.bin" and "imgfs.bin"
What is included in which .bin
When the *.409* folders are replaced with *.407* and the ROM is cooked
is it enough to flash the "flash.bin" to the KS20 without the "imgfs.bin"
Another question is the Registry tweaking - which I wanna do.
You have a folder in the kitchen "Packages\OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack" there are 3 files.
Is the name random or how is the convention?
The .dsm file is Hex - what is it for?
Is it enough to edit the .rgu file?
When cooking the ROM does it include the changes I perform in the .rgu file?
Hope you help me understanding this a bit better
Greet`s Erich
@eriche : follow step by step the kitchen tutorial, you should see clearer.
- Imgfs.bin is a file contained inside flash.bin (as xip.bin and a few other).
- The files you need to modify are inside imgfs.bin
So what you need to do is:
1- extract dz to obtain *.mbn and flash.bin
2- extract flash.bin to obtain imgfs.bin, xip.bin...
3- extract imgfs.bin to obtain WM files
4- change files
5- rebuild imgfs.bin
6- rebuilt flash.bin
7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.
For Registry tweaks, you can directly change rgu file in OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack. When you rebuild you imgfs, it will be automatically added to system registry so you dont need to create a new package.
7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.

Isn`t it possible to flash only the .bin file
With original .mbn files you mean the one from the Base Image where I change the language or the Image where the Language is included

You should be able to flash only flash.bin but I can assure that you won't crash your phone.
To flash, you only need partition.mbn and flash.bin but if partition.mbn differs from your actual ks20 partition (that is, if your actual rom mbn don't come from the same dz than your cooked rom), there's a chance that flash.bin overlaps something else on you phone. So it's secure only if you've already flashed the same mbn and the same partition.mbn before. If not, I can't say, maybe it is, but not for sure.
So as I wrote on first post, to flash, select baserom as rom folder. Each mbn line will automatically populate and the just change the path to flash.bin to your newly built flash.bin (which is in builtrom if you use the kitchen).
language cooking not easy - but I don`t wanna give up!
oh god - it`s not that easy
I don`t know in which step I have to replace the Language folders
With HK-ROM (newer ROM) I did step a-e = 1-8
With GER-ROM (language ROM) I also did a-e = 1-8
but then I have 77 ".0407" and 59 ".409" folders
so why is this? Different languages have different folder amount?
Or should I change the language after step "d" ??
looking forward to bring light inside
EDIT:
I used "PKGToolsBuildOS" (step e) to change the language.
But this tool brings following message
Not copied: OEMBT_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...
Not copied: OEMVVS_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...

Don`t know if this is critically?
I prefere to do things by my own - because I don`t trust tools that crash that often *gg*

I've never succeded in using PKGToolsBuildOS to change rom language. I do it manually.
It seems that you're counting also subdirectories in your 040x folder count (ie, there's a Base_Lang_0409 folder and inside lies a commctrl.dll.0409.mui. Of course, you don't need to count it as changing Base_Lang_0409 folder will also replace its subdirectories.). Sys folder should contain approximately 30 040x first level folders. Between roms, it there may be 1 or 2 folders less or more (depending on the availability of windows_live and things like that.)
The only thing important is that in the end, every folder that was 0409 is now replaced by 0407 folder.
I did it
Jea - today I did it
I flashed HongKong 10a ROM with German language to my KS20.
I have now
ROM: v10a
Bootloader: v10a
Modem Firmware: V10e
ROM date: 2008-04-29
I don`t understand why the Modem Version is still the "old" one
How can I get the newest modem Firmware from the HongKong ROM?
ROM-Date seems also the "German 10e" date.
Who can bring light inside :I)

Informations about version are stored in registry (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\VersionInfo).
As for modem version, it's in mbn files and not in flash.bin.
So does it mean I have the "modem Version" from the HongKong ROM but only it shows the "old" one
Or do I have to change a .mbn file to change Modem Version?
Whitch .mbn file is the one holding the Modem crap?
I know from my friend who owns a HTC Diamond that a new modem version can save battery and bring faster or more stable access,...

Hello everyone,
I have a problem, to create my rom, when I edit in default.hv some changes, such as the 4 columns, the modes camera .... when installing rom, disappear are changing, as if it had not changed anything.
I do not know if it will be for sometime provxml overwrites something, or is not that.
thank you all!
sorry for my english google translate
you should not edit default.hv.
Make a .rgu (name it for example tweaks put it in the SYS folder) file and set your settings there.
I usualy make a .reg file and put all my settings in there. Then I make that a .cab file (with QuickCab 1.0) and convert it to a package (with Ervius Package Creator v2). Works like a charm
whyen you edit the hive. any RGU or provxml files would over write the settings. thus why they do not stick.
