My device rom seems to be aku1.
is it possible that i use other roms,which is aku3,replace dlls and other things from them and create my aku3 rom?
For example i saw contacts in newer roms is lot improved,is it possible that i use contact.exe(if it is the file name)from newer roms,replace it into my current rom file?or other .exe or .dll files?
Thats what ROM cooking is.
You take components that are generic and not device dependent from a more advanced ROM and place it in a ROM for your device that contains all the device specific stuff like drivers.
BUT: it is not as simple as it sounds.
First, you need a ROM image for your device (and if you are going to ask more serious questions on this matter you must specify exact model of your device) which you can get through a dump or from an official update.
Second you need tools, also specific for your device, that can take apart that image and put it back together.
And finally you need the new files which also have to be obtained from a ROM image for the more advanced device.
Thank you.
Well i guess i have the tools,becouse i could create the dump folder.and repack it again.
although the generated files were not same.(someone in chineese forum told me it is enough that value in bootloader be same,in my case values before 0x060000,i dont know if it is enough or not).
I havent yet tried to upgrade that rom,until i have enough knowledge.
But if we assume i have all tools,is there a guide or something that what files i can replace?
for example if i want to have new contact program,what files should i upgrade?
or is there a list of all dlls,exe files which are device independent?
so?anyone?
Some other questions:
using addfile/removefile,can i replace .dll files?
becouse i used the dump folder,shellres.96.dll,and deleting/adding,i get no icons in windows.
also using s000 file renaming it to shellres.96.dll i still get the same problem?
is there anyway to change this dll?
I really don't understand what is wrong. All the roms that I create now cannot be created properly. The preconfig wont run, themes wont even apply, and when I try to reflash it with other roms, RUU says unknown version...I had to boot into bootloader to flash it. (without forcing sspl in ruu)
What the heck is happening? I'm cooking the same way i've been cooking (build OS + dutty's nbhtool) I'm getting very frustrated
Which kitchen or base ROM are you using? Need more info of exactly what you are doing!! Does this happen when you flash to official ROMs too?
I've used pandora, hypercore (they are both the same thing really). Both used to work fine, now they no longer work and both gave me the same errors "after" I flashed the rom I made. Here's the outline of the problem:
1) assuming current rom is schaps's 4.01
2) Runs RUU, auto detect fine
3) flash with the rom I made, flash completed, reboot
4) rom doesnt work properly, preconfig doesnt launch at all, tsk doesnt apply properly, and etc
5) run RUU, cant auto detect, "error, rom........."
6) boot to oli 2.10 BL, flash with "any" premade rom
7) repeats #1
The Roms I made were based on ATT's official rom, I've also used vp3g's coz most craps have already been removed.
1) run nbhextract to extract RUU
2) run nbsplit, imgfsfromnb, imgfstonb
3) toss os.nb into hypercore XIP extract, extract XIP
4) put everything into pandora's kitchen (root/ OEM folder, SYS folder, ROM [Os.nb, XIP folder]
5) remove/add stuff, rebuild .dsm if needed
6) run buildOS
7) run createbat
8) run NBtools (left "version as it is", chose hermes100, SuperCID, no ext rom/radio/spl)
9) rom created, then flashed.
I just made a basic rom with pandora. No editing done besides using the oem packages included to make it. Can someone try the rom out and tell me if you are facing the same problem? (Just a bare OS rom)
i.e. after flashing the rom, with active sync connected, RUU gives Error 244 and the only way to reflash it is get into bootloader mode. OR can RUU still work in windows after flashing it?
I need to know if there's something wrong with my bootloader (whether i need to reflash it) or somehow somewhere the kitchen tools that I've been using suddenly just screwed up any help is greatly appreciated
*I only have problems with the roms that I recently created, again, they used to work fine, I have no problems flashing other people's roms*

I'd delete your HyperCore and Pandora folders and re-extract them from the original downloads to be honest. Whilst I can't think of what might cause the Error 244, I've found myself that after mixing this and that between HyperCore, Pandora and any of the zillions of 'working' folders I've got kicking about I do eventualy end up overwriting something somewhere that needs to be consistent between builds and knacker myself.
I have managed to solve the problem after redumping everything via the original tools. However, I'm still using hypercore kitchen to extract XIP. I no longer use dutty's NBHtool to create the image, I'm not sure if it contributes to the problem, but I'm having great results with nbhgen.
When I'm done cooking my rom, I'll document down everything I know and create my own kitchen.
how do i install/use an nbh file? i looked on the forum and cant find it. please someone either tell me or send me a link explaining how to use nbh files. my computer doesnt recognize the format. thanks.
I suppose you want to upgrade your pda or your phone.
You must use a bootloader to install the file and upgrade your pda. Many bootloaders exist.
For example, I've installed a new ROM with WM 6.1 (from Algasystems) on my iPAQ 4700 and I have used a bootloader that I have found in the thead about my pda (I think I've used MTTY). Than I suppose you can find yours in the thread where you have downloaded your ROM .
To flash .nbh files you need a custom.RUU (Rom Update Utility) .nbh fiels are only flashable to certain devices, i.e. HTC Kaiser, Tilt, TYTNII, etc.
Older devices flash with a variation of this. What is your device type?
This work is just an edtension to Jugler's work which he has already posted hs kitchen.He has really made it so simple that anyone with average cooking skills can cook a ROM.Here are the steps, if any one needs
-Download Jugglerskitchen from here h**p://www.r*pidshare.com/files/47189318/Juggler_Samsung_WM6_Eng_ROM_Kitchen_0.1.rar.html
-Just use dumprom cmd and make dump of modules
-Use package tool to make OEM and SYS
-Manipulate/Change in SYS/OEM as per the desired result
-USe boot.rgu and boot.hv from any working Samsung i710/718 and place it in ROM/XIP folder
-Run Build OS tool, to et the dump
-Now RUN Build ROM cmd to make imgfs from dump..and Flasher ROM sunsequently
Flashing :
-Execute the blue exe file, and select "Detect"
-Disable all the things in Async, mean all, USB,COM etcetc
-connect the USB data cable to phone, after putting it off
-when connected, hold down the D Pad down direction and while doing so, power on
-Flasher will automatically detect and flash, Eboot, and ROM.
-After Flash Do hard reset by pressing Call end and Call accept buttons+power ON
Thanks to Juggler, and very good articles in 4pda.ru and other PDA Gods in this forum
hi! hdubli
had you test that roms with I710 ? i want change lang for i710
Hi there.
The HTC Diamond has recently been released in Canada under Rogers and I'd like to backup the stock rogers ROM for safe keeping (and sharing).
I've been trying to find instructions on how to do this and found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2370527
Which is great, but after creating the RAW rom dumps, how do I flash the ROM backup back to the device?
Thanks!
noob edit: I apologize if this has been covered in the past. I have tried searching but surprisingly, I haven't found anything...
In my continuing research, I found this tool: HTC ROM Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311909
I recall seeing this on a diamond wiki page. Is there an updated version that has Diamond rom support?
Thanks,
No one here can help a lonely noob trying to learn? Is what I'm asking even possible? Thanks!
I'm a noob too, but what you do is, you get one of the kitchens, put the extracted files in baserom (or similar folder) extract all sys and OEM packages, then adjust it as you wish (by deleting), and create new rom with HTC rom tool, and then you flash it back.
I'm beginner myself, but this should work.
Make sure you have all Visual C++ and NET. packages installed on your PC, and try to install the kitchen directly on C:/ drive. It helps.
I got the Rogers Diamond last night as well. I extracted the Part0x.raw files (as per Pof's instructions), then used a kitchen to extract the SYS/OEM from Part02.raw and the XIP from Part01.raw.
I haven't cooked them yet to test, but will try tonight hopefully and maybe post it if I'm successful. I got a brick when I tried making the OS ROM out of an existing ROM, as described in the Hermes and Elf DumpRom wikis. So I guess cooking it instead is the safest way to go.
Also remember to flash the unsigned Hard SPL 1.93 by OliNex after you back up the SPL.
hello,
one possible solution is to use a kitchen. for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452184
put your raw's to BASEROM-folder.
put your original provider-rom in the same folder.
start !BEGIN
now you can select between two EXTRACT-MODEs.
first mode is extract ruu_signed.nbh only.
the second is for raw's with ruu_signed.nbh.
USE THE SECOND and wait until its finished.
now you can change or tweaks something - if you want.
follow the instructions and than you have your flashable rom.
BUT THE BACKUP/COPY - ROM is not for 100% the same like on your device.
for example: you have installed some programs with serial-key or activating by internet.
after restoring you have to enter/activating again.
some files will be changed back by original rom-files like the registry.
your personilized startmenu goes away - tweakees will lost.
the reult:
you will be angry.
after some experimantells now i used a combination of own cooked rom (with tweeks and buyed programs) and a backup-file which is not so big in MB.
