[Q] Help porting SYS to new rom.

Need help porting sys folder..
I've successfully ported XIP to 20757 and now i've been trying to port the sys build folder 20757 and up, from multiple roms, such as the xperia x1 roms, the blackstone roms, and other's from the site.
But all of my attempts has fail, so was hoping someone could tell me what im doing wrong.
First sys attempt i tried was;
How to port a SYS folder
Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389772
Second i tired, to port it from a thread on the kaiser forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437264
and third i tried this following guide from the elf forms, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379598
so for short
1. made 1 folder for old sys, and 1 for new system with the build number
2. copy .vm .rom WinCENLS_WWE, shell/shellresand shell/shell32 folder, with my already ported XIP
3. swap out the res folder like 800 and 640 ones for the diamond, (where ever it is needed to port the rom)
4. then ran g'reloc
so yeah finally when i tried all this, form the guide, it doesnt work

What about the easiest way?
Take a look here:

Ervius's tool is to port XIP
To port SYS is the easiest porting Simply run Greloc on old SYS and note all the values. Then run Greloc on new SYS and change the values as per old SYS. No replacement needed, no swapping required
Simple!

I thought that to but every time i tried to port the Blacstone sys and Greloc
the rom doesnt boot, I have tried many times and allways the same result.
havent test for a wile, the xip port I get whit your exellent manual xip port but not the sys, so now I have a rom os 20757 Build 19665

have you tried replacing all except the Metadata folder ?
for your XIP which is the base used 1.93, 1.96, 1.97 ?
I have tried the xiportereex tool but some modules are missing, so I tryied to add it by myself, it boot but sometime touch screen doesn't responde at first tap, very strange, I have also a pb with default ringtone witch is not the one it should be by mxipupdate

hi
thank you for your reply everyone but several attempts trying you methods but none has worked ; ;
UPDATE; i give up trying to port sys build, thnx for you help everyone.

Same problem for me, if I try all these method in order to port the sys 20764 ( blackstone) to me ELF, the phone don't boot :-(

if the problem is running poutlook, please check if you have custsat.dll in your rom.
if removed, poutlook won't run.

This is the sam exact problem i'm running into. I can't just not port the SYS because the XIP i'm using opens the windows in a tiny little corner in the top left hand corner. Has anyone figured out how to actually port the SYS since none of the tutorials seem to work.

Hi All,
Try this:
1. Copy all modules and dsm ONLY from these few folders (BaseApps, Shell, Phone, PhoneRedist and Redist) from new SYS to your old SYS folder. No need copy ***_DPI_*** (images), ***_0409 / ***_0804 (language files) and the rgu because they never change even how high the build number goes
2. Copy gwes.exe from new build OS folder to your OS folder (if you don't want to get small little window on the top left corner)
3. g'reloc
4. Cook
Good luck !

In fact, you can take the rest of the OS folder too, with the exception of the rgu and ossvcs

I had this problem when i was porting the Touch HD ROM to the Xperia X1 and thats wvga to wvga. I honestly thought porting the SYS would be the easy part but the SYS is why my phone doesn't boot up it just sits there

Ye I thought that sys is the easy part I got so many sys port that the rom doesnt boot. Now i get 2 in a row 21109 and 21014 sudden and If I remember right I have allways done the same way

Thats the one that i'm working on now. I'm trying to port the 21109 from the touch pro to the xperia but i can't get it to work. Can u give me any tips?

Maybe you should post in the X-Peria ROM dev. forum!?

I have but as we all know the xperia doesn't get as much attention as to the full blown htc devices. I figure that the porting method should be about the same with the exception of changing some things based on resolution. Am i wrong?

Have you deleted some folders from official HD SYS??
If yes, notice that the rom doesn't boot without SqlCeMobile and SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409 folders. I'm speaking from my experience with HD.
And I remember I've ported these official builds to Toshiba G900 without problems. Then, make attention to these things too.
And control if into your original SYS, you have some different folders in comparison to the new SYS.
Another thing, Ervius xipporterex rev-35, deletes some things from xip, but it works perfect in that way. The only thing you have to notice, is that it deletes WinCENLS_WWE from xip, then you have to add it into SYS folder.
@Bxsteez,
chek your 21109 SYS, and change mxip_system.vol(into Shell), with your original and see if mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml is into Base_DPI_192 folder, if not, copy your original one there. Change MobileCalculator.exe into baseapps folder too.

Just gave this a shot and nothing works again.... I can't even port the XIP and use the standard SYS and get it to boot. I wonder if i'm using a some corrupted build of 21109. Can someone point me in the direction of where to get OS CE 21109 and 21109 build?

Search on ppcgeeks the calkulins kitchen for diamond, then extract the xip from os.nb.payload and use that to port, worked for me with ervius xipporterex-35.
And make those changes into SYS folder, they are needed to boot properly.

Should theoretically work for all HTC devices.
Only have an HTC Diamond to try it myself, but others tested it on Universal, HD, Raphael, ...

Nice to see you back Bepe!, Happy New Year

OMFG
bepe, you've completely outdone yourself this time!!! Checked out the videos, looks amazing!! Congratulations.

Downloaded, will check it out and post results. Thanks!!!

Hmm.it will work on all htc devices.
maybe some older dev cant use,need to test by yourself
really nice Rom Kitchen.
Great jod!!!
Cheers

i second the post with the video tutorial !! great work and even me is able to build a rom now *lol*

Is removal of unneeded files from XIP supported, bepe??

this look fantastic bepe, as usual
even though I have tested it, I noticed two things:
1. Wouldn't replacing WINCE_NLS in the XIP from a different device, let's say, cause the phone not to boot?
2. What if the device you are porting from has a different resolution, wouldn't you have to change the files in the SYS manually?
other than that, it looks GREAT!
thanks again

yes, it possible to add/remove all files/modules you want. It works the same way as in IMGFS... just delete the file/module from the XIP package or add a new one to an existing or new package.
the Kitchen will not include files that are not needed like boot.rgu, *.rgu, *.dsm to the XIP section, so there is no need to remove them after the XIP partition is build.

1. replacing WINCE_NLS is not really a problem, but the size of the .nls file might be.
example:
- you are using a WWE Kitchen with a WWE nls size: 267 KB
- you want to change lang to CHT, the nls size would be 1500 KB
--> this means the size of the xip section would grow very much
--> ROM\os.nb.payload is WWE and would not have enough space for the bigger CHT XIP
--> ImplantXIP.exe should give you an error I think... never tried it...
solution: use the CHT os.nb.payload (just replace the WWE .\ROM\os.nb.payload by the CHS one)
The CHS roms would have more space for XIP, so all would be working fine
2. Using another resolution is not a good idea... most SYS packages are compatible, but there are packages like this:
- Base_DPI_192 - this is for 192 DPI like Diamond, Raphael, HD
- Base_DPI_96 - only for QVGA devices
- base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640 - this package tells you the exact resolution it was made for
You could mix two builds, like using only new packages without *_DPI_192 or *_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640 in the name...
... but not really a good idea, even that many ppl are making that. Consider that there might be resources that might be changed

Would take a look at it, but the forum requires compulsory registration to view.
Please fix your forum.

It tells me I'm missing msvcr71.dll when I try and dump. I noticed that file is other kitchens so I tried to copy it over and it starts the dump but then RecMod.exe stops responding and it asks to close.

I keep getting this error when it comes to running platformbuilder
Code:
This aplication has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusal way

boo, I wanted to watch the tutorial on your forum again, getting an initflashfiles .dat not where it's supposed to be error. but your forum seems to be down, or under too high traphic right now, is there any way you would think of putting together a short text based info set on everything we need to know to dump and rebuild? if not, no biggie, I am sure I will figure it out, like any great new tool, there is always a learning curve Thanks much for sharing your work with all of us though

Good to see you back bepe!!! I will give this a shot later on today...

outstanding bepe!! I thought your tutorials were excellent too!

thanks bepe
tested your kitchen on my Elfin and it worked well except for implantxip, because i've reduced the size of my XIP partition in template payload, so implantxip gave me error like "no xip section found". i replaced implantxip with msflshtool and it worked fine. no other issues faced in ROM building and porting newer build for my Elfin . although i had to make some adjustments to Dump_200.bat for dumping the ROM.
also, we used buildxip for xip porting before and it had some specific switches like -g, -k and -f useful for enabling different kernel modes, changing fsrampercent etc. i was wondering if same is possible while xip porting with new kitchen or is the best setting chosen automatically?
and, do check your paypal for Transaction ID: 45A49499TS934251W

6.5 21159 hangs on welcome screen.

Can anyone give me some insight on this problem. I am porting 21159 to the Treo 700wx, and it keeps stopping on the WM 6.5 startup screen. I can turn off/on the display, but it never progress onto screen calibration or anything else.
I have replaced the gwes.exe file in order to get the rom to boot, as well as wincenls_wwe, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment, I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
86 views so far, and no replies. That can't be good...

I think I might need a gwes.exe for 240x240 screen on a 211xx build. Does anyone have one?

Any progress?

Nope. No responses. I did find a 6.5 rom for the treo 750, but they removed all of the dsm files, so I can't port it. I have to try to manual piece it back together.

This is really a good build, but believe me that stabilniejszy is 21,109, this is fast

i think all of the SYS 21159 floating around have ConfettiCore package inside, so u can try any. i thought it was useless, so deleted it. but it lead to the problem mentioned above. in addition to that, i had to use TOuchFLO OEM package also of my device which i deleted coz i wanted to use M$ default touchflo.

Already tried this. Both are correct. It's not hangs on the boot screen. It's hanging on the welcome screen. Well it's not exactly hanging. I can still power it on and off. I still get the press the middle button to unlock thing. I can turn the radio on and off. It just never moves on from the welcome screen.

I pieced some of the 750 rom into my SYS. I noticed they had modified some of the .cpr files for 240x240, so I included those as well. Flashing now, we'll see what happens.
Update: Same problem. It stops at the welcome screen.

Tryed using my existing .rom folder, and shell32.dll and shellres.dll. Still no luck.

same problem since 21xxx builds with welcome-center
I'am a german rom-cooker for glofiish m800-device.
i work since over one week on windows mobile 6.5.
I'am not success today.
The Problem is:
- No Calibration (Welcome.lnk) is launched by initflashfiles.dat
but in the file the entry is included
the biggest problem, becouse the device is unusable
- The Startmenu is wrong, only a white screen open. (very small) no solution with gwes.exe from wm61 20924 sys.
- the grey taskbar on the today-screen
i have replaced gwes.exe from working windows mobile 6.1 sys 20924
i have changed shell.exe and shellres32.dll in shell-directory from sys
to change user.hv and default.hv from metadata
to delete user.hv and default.hv from metadata
to replace folder for shell
to replace folder for phone
to replace folder for redist.
to include wince.nls in sys-folder too
The wince.nls is in my xip (rom-directory) (my kitchen need the extracted version of xip.bin)
I don't know what the problem is.
I have ported XIP 21159 from Diamond, from TouchPro, from glofiish m700, from glofiish m500 and much more. I'am sure i use actually an VGA-XIP (from Diamond, 1.post in this Thread)
but i don't know which version this is (21139 or 21159 ???)
all the same problem.
i use my kitchen based on windows mobile 6.1 and included the g'reloc.exe from WM65 Kitchen (forwarder) and the wmreloc.exe.
since my kitchen is ready for wm65. all works great by compiling the new temp.dat (the flash-file for glofiish devices)
I read i must use the same sources for XIP and SYS !!!
But what are the same Sources ???
Can anyone send me an working 21159 XIP for VGA ???
When i try to port "Diamond Payload 21159" from XDA-Developers with Xipport and Xipporterex the xip is ok, but when i insert in my kitchen, the prog "buildos" stop their working, nothing happens in command-window.
So i'am very pleasent when you can send me an working source 21159 SYS for VGA and an working Source 21159 XIP for VGA...
i have big problem with windows mobile 6.5
acutally i try windows mobile 6.1 21114 there are the same problem.
the problem is, after os-logo no calibration screen come.
big problems to call "welcome.lnk"
only whenn i insert in wrong path to welcome.lnk the today-screen display ???
do you know this bug ???
here is the rgu of the welcome-center, i think it's not compatible with m800 ???
is this welcome-center new in the 21xxx-builds ???
over one week and no succed with wm65.
at the moment the same problems with wm61 21115

hey guys any solution to this problem? I've been facing it on my Samsung i780.. damn this won't move past the Windows mobile logo.. yet it plays the welcome screen sound.. what a shame..

chef raven,
not trying to hijack your thread but can you please answer my PM.
i've been waiting for weeks now.
thanks

Samsung SGH-i780 (and any other WM device for that matter!): Learn how to cook ROMS

Hi guys,
I decided to open a blog which explains how to cook roms for the i780. There are very few chefs, and cooking is a really hard science to learn without help! So, I decided that I take the time and write posts so that everyone could learn the process in a methodical manner and cook roms in the future!
I'd slowly write posts explaining each step of the process in detail, so that we can have more people learning how to cook and make the i780 community more happening
Head over to this URL to check out the first few posts -
http://i780romdev.blogspot.com
Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers
San

I never was a fan of this forum, not sure why, maybe because I use a ASUS P527 and there are not proper instructions on how to create a custom ROM, I appreciate your taking the initiative

I think its good fun to try and figure out things on your own
Non-HTC devices do have a very small fan base unfortunately....and ironically, HTC makes the crappiest devices imo (highly crash prone, buggy, lousy drivers, useless qualcomm processor)!
You can apply the same tools and techniques even to cook asus roms....its not all that different
cheers

wooooooow thanks a lot buddy finally we have it also !!!

when will u release part 3? and also can u give the links of programs? like pkgtools_? coz i tried to download it from somewhere else and it had virus

hi m8!
i'll try and upload the set of tools shortly. You can get it in any of the kitchens posted for the i780 here. I'll however consolidate them and add it in this post as an attachment!
Part 3 - very soon
cheers!

You guy thanks for sharing your experience at cook ROMS,I whink I need this for my SmartPhone.

Hey guys, just dropped the next part of the series on the blog. Check out http://i780romdev.blogspot.com
Of course, the same theory, tools and understanding goes to cook for any other device too

To remove a package, you can get rid of the corresponding folders in your SYS folder. But its not recommended that you knock off office/ie as they might be referenced within other apps. You can always take it off, build a rom and see if everything works fine
For example, to remove IE, just delete your Browsing, Browsing_DPI_xx and Browsing_Lang_XXXX, BROWSINGCORE, browsingie, browsingie_LANG_XXXX folders. That should get rid of IE for you! Then you need to recreate your bin!

well last night i finished my own wm6.1 build 20270 128dpi pdxib1 according to your guide i wanna tell what i did to complete it ;
1.i exctracted my rom using i780 kitchen and i got dump folder and i also added some extra tools like ervius buildos,osnbtool etc...then i used pkgbuildos to seperate folders into oem and sys
2. i used oem part from krizky82's kitchen and i add some extra packages using ervius package creator 2.7 and add them with oem_blahblah to oem folder.
3. i deleted windows live and msn messenger from sys folder and copied netcf 3.5 and flashlite v3.1 from krizky82 kitchen. i also used his initflash and rgu file coz i had same structure almost(oem totally same and sys programs also)
4.i looked at both efn's kitchen and krizky82 kitchen and i saw that they have this structure oem,sys and rom and in rom there is xip folder. when i looked at inside xip folder i saw that there is only coredll.dll folder and others are dsm rgu and boot files so my next step
5. i used osbn tool to exract xip.bin and after i got that xipkitchen_beta6 and i choosed the same donor and original and after extracting i got original xip files and i ordered in same structure like efn's kitchen
6.then i used pgkbuildos and let the process starti had some dsm duplicate errors and i delete duplicated ones and later i didnt start xip extract bat and flashable bin bat so after process again i had temp/dump folder
7. during buildos there wasnt any error and i was happy about it
8. using inputTXTFileMaker ( thanks to u dreamtheather93) i got input text and after that using these commands;
mgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin new_imgfs.bin
del imgfs_raw_data.bin
ren new_imgfs.bin imgfs_raw_data.bin
make_imgfs i780.nb0.payload.body -nosplit
merge i780.nb0.payload.header i780.nb0.payload.body i780.nb0.payload
nbmerge -data 2048 -extra 8 i780.nb0 -conservative
and conv3 input.txt > conv3_output.txt
ren i780.nb0.b000ff !!i780_flashable_bin.bin
i got my flashable bin file yupiiiii i controlled the size of flashable bin and it is 86.2 mb and the size of dump folder almost 125 mb i hope it is ok
now i will flash my phone but is there any possibility that my phone can be bricked ?
thanks a lot for ur guide again!!!
note: i already used i780.bin as 12mb page pool size i did it before kitchen using osbn tool

good job m8
You cant really brick your i780 because of this I've done way crazier stuff....like trying out omnia's xip, drivers of omnia on i780....and nothing's given way
However, i'm hoping you've ported your XIP accurately, and i'm unsure how've you've built your SYS folder.
but, go ahead and flash and see if it boots nothing to be paranoid if it doesnt boot/hangs at startup/throws an error and fails etc. etc. If any of this happens, then we could troubleshoot it together
cheers & good luck

Great job!
Nice start San!
Not even some days left from your first successful cooking and you already best gid on it!
Keep on do it. And we wait for new mods for our best touchphone!
I think now anyone is able to break Eagles wings =P

Help For updating wm6 XIP to wm6.1

First thx for helping me
I was trying to port a XIP from Touch Cruise
Yet it cant even boot in the system [only suck at the screen with the red words at the bottom]
Any clear tutorial for me. Thank you

You cannot just use the XIP from another phone.
You must get the XIP split into OEMXIPKernel and MSXIPKernel so that you can combine the new MSXIP with your existing Trinity OEMXIP.
And most of the time you would need to use the new build's SYS packages that go along with that new MSXIP.
What kitchen are using? Ervius Visual Kitchen?

Yes i am using Ervius Visual Kitchen
What i do is using the xipporterex to port the xip.
I even tried to follow the bepe tutorial from darkforceteam with bepe kitchen.
Yet same error occured.
Would u mind giving me a clear step for making it workable?
thx

Sorry but I have always used pre-extracted XIP/SYS bundles from people like Da_G that I then put into my kitchen. So I am not sure I can give you a full step through for porting the TC xip/sys from scratch.
One thing about the OEMXIP though, whenever I have used xipporterex I usually discard the generated ROM\Trinity\NEWBUILD# and replace it with a copy of my existing ROM\Trinity\OLDBUILD# (I just rename the folder to the new build number). It is just the ported ROM\Shared\NEWBUILD# folder that you want.
Again, you are also using the SYS\NEWBUILD# folder aren't you?

Oh man! You are genius!!!
My rom comes bootable after renaming the folder!
That's so fantastic
Yet the xip of the system seems hasn't update [still the old build ]

Update
I used the old Build.. therefore, my device is bootable....
Yet when i choose back the new build, ext xip and sys as the neew version,
it suck again at the screen...
Thx man i know u have tried a lot to figure out my problem.
Is it possible or better, if i upload my kitchen for u to check?

Oh thats easy. The "Rom Version" (that shows on boot) just needs to be patched (it is reading it from the copied OEMXIP).
Just go back into the Porting window then click the button "Find Date/Version on \ROM\Xip\"
That will populate the Rom Date and Rom Version fields.
You can then edit those fields and click each of the "Change" buttons to patch the newer Date/Version into the OEMXIP
You can also set the PagePool value using the "Change PP to Mb" function (it is not possible to query the current PP value however it does tell you what it previously was when you change it). You could always set it to something sensible like 4 or 6 and see what it was before that.
EDIT: If you were actually talking about the CE OS build number that shows in "About Device" then that is much harder to change. It is embedded somewhere within the MSXIP (requires hex editing I am not familiar with - and that is effectively make a "fake" build anyway).

Oh, sorry just saw this ... yeah probably better to just do that.
Just curious but why on earth do you want to port some old TC 6.1 rom anyway?
There a plenty of functional WM6.5 xip/sys bundles that we can/have ported to Trinity. Even if it has be WM6.1 there are surely newer releases of 6.1 xip/sys to choose from?
EDIT: Just a heads up but I am about to go offline for the night (end of the work day in my timezone) so if you do upload I will not reply until tomorrow.

You could extract the 23102 wm6.5 build from my last kitchen release:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5547181#post5547181
I have modified EVK slightly to allow it to build either p3600i or Trinity ROMs from the same kitchen but still there is a full QVGA xip/sys bundle there for 23102 (give or take a few sys packages).
Got to go, will try and be more helpful tomorrow

Go and find SuperSport's Tutorial Video for using Ervius Kitchen.
I have broken up the EXT packages into categories to make it simpler for new chefs but the basic concept is the same.
I have included pre-built ROM profiles to make it very simple to build ROMs out-of-the-box.
Just got to "Load ROM", choose one for your phone (P3600i or Trinity) and the click "Create ROM" to build it.
Load a few different profiles and look at what changes in the settings. That should help you see what is going on.

1 more question
I downloaded a XIP SYS Pack from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650783
However there are 5 Folders
How can i port them into the kitchen?
Thx for that

OK, this technically requires more time than I can spare to explain thoroughly ... but maybe if I just outline the steps you can do some google searching to work out exactly how to do it:
- First you need to clean up the SYS for you needs. For Trinity you need to have QVGA sys structure so that means only 96DPI and 320x240
- That means sorting the SYS package folders into an EVK SYS structure and removing the other DPI and resolution folder structures.
- Go get XIPDumpSoter (or whatever it is called now) by teh penguin so that you can use it to automatically sort the folders. Then delete any that are for other DPI or RES (eg: 192DPI or 640x480, etc). You _only_ want 96DPI and 320x240 (and of course any that are non-res specific)
- That should give you the folder structure to put into \SYS\NEWBUILD#\
- You will need to copy over the WINCENLS sys package from your existing SYS as that will not be in the new SYS (there are other replacement folders like SQM_DUMMY, and also some that we often just delete but you can learn that stuff later)
- We have already discussed what you need to do with the MSXIP
- Lastly, (and this is really very much the "art vs sicence" part), you will need to go through and "recmod" a certain number of "modules" within certain sys packages.
I simply don't have the time right now to get into recmod but if you google you will find plenty of helpful posts explaining it. I think there is even a basic recipe of what to recmod for 64M users done by JooJooBee ... that would get you going.
Put simply, at this stage you need to read read read read read lots of chef threads to pick up the finer details. Sorry I am too busy at work to be any more help than this.
Good luck.

Thank you for spending time on me
I know it is rather annoying to explain a few things
Really Really Thank you for helping me
I hope that my post could be a guide for others
Update:
The rom is still unbootable after a day of trying.
Does the OEM section be edit before updating the build?
Such as initflashfiles.dat [I read the in the tutorial that it should change to the native 6.5]
May be i started from the wrong step?
What i concern is that wm6 may not suitable to update directly to wm6.1 or wm6.5
Thank you for spending much time on helping me
If it can be google, simply give me the keyword,
I will finish the entiry
And finally, thank you!!

I'm actually going to bed before 3am tonight, so I will not be long here, but I just had a thought. When you cook the ROM, are you checking "Real WM 6.5 AKU" in the Kitchen? Don't do that. You cannot actually use a Native 6.5 Kernel on the Trinity as one does not exist. Also, as mentioned by the.Decoy before, you MUST have 'wince.nls' in your Kitchen somewhere or it will not boot. Thirdly, try cooking a version without ANY Extended packages. Only the original XIP and SYS and see if that boots. When you get that going smoothly, start adding EXT packages. Good Luck!
I'll check back in a couple days to see if you've made any progress. If you'd like to send your kitchen to me also, I'd be happy to look it over and see if I can find anything wrong in there.

Again and Again
I keep remind myself that Native 6.5 Kernel should be checked
OMG The Bug is here
And Thanks Decoy
Thank You
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
================================
Update:
I saw a folder called 0_ROM_Version in EXT Shared
What is it and what function does it have?
Thx

Ummm are you trying to use a freshly extracted OEM from an official ROM?
If so then yes, there is a massive amount of conversion that must be done to it before you an cook it into a rom. Even before you break it up in to components and edit all the reg and dat files ... you first need re-sign everything with an SDK cert because you won't have the official cert that HTC built them with.
Seriously. If you are just starting out then use an existing chef's OEM (use mine or anyone else who has posted a kitchen).
Even I have not yet ever had the time to complete build an OEM from scratch (not that I don't want to one day). I was always just adapting the OEM that Chanvi had provided us in his kitchen, primarily because he had already done all the work to make it mesh with WM6.5

I am bit confused by what you said there
As Supersport explained, we do not have a Native 6.5 kernel for Trinity.
So that option should not be checked.

Again, this is why I said to try "Load ROM" and see what happened
Those are just simply EXT packages which contain 1 single provxml. Each one sets the registry value for "ROM Version" (the info that comes up in "About Device" in Settings). There is one for every type of "Saved ROM" you can build from that kitchen.
I created them so that people could build each of the several types of rom from my kitchen but never need to edit the provxml files to change what the version info was.
If you are going to try cooking your own roms, the best advice I can give you is find a text editor you like and just start opening up ALL of the REG DAT RGU and PROVXML files you can find and see what they are doing.
You can even do it from within EVK. Select the type of file on the left panel called "Editors" (or just select "All") then click "Show Editor". You can open the files it finds by double clicking them in the panel on the right.
Anything custom that ever happens in the setup of a rom is controlled by these files.
If you want to see how something works (or what it does), just open up the files and read them

Sorry, wt i mean is that my rom become bootable after unchecking it
~~ That is so amazing ~~
Now i am Reading the horrible, endless.....etc tutorial, [I can finally have my own rom ]
1 Question, I am trying to put a new wince.nls which content much more countries in the rom. Yet it comes unbootable after i have repalced it.
I googled around and found several solutions.
1 is that i should put it in OEM rather than SYS [I havn't ried it yet i think it won't work]
2 is that i should mod the size of the xip.bin
Therefore it is big enough to store it.
3 Adding in some registry with my selected country code
Thanks for helping me ~~

Sorry can't help you there.
I have never ventured beyond WWE lang for my kitchens.
