i780 ROM cooking - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi guys,
We have a lot of bin pda roms now.
Is there a way to edit this roms and replace system files?
I've found many editors but most work only with nbh files. Here we have only bin.
If you have tried and succeeded please post your solutions here.
Thanks

I forgot, please mention what software you used for cooking.

AtomLife ROMs extract! Help pls

Hi all,
I am trying to port the mediaplus from AtomLife ROMs which has the second version of mediaplus with icons in circle.
I was successfull in extracting the imgfs.bin but there is onemore file ExROM.img which is not giving up.
I Tried
1. winimage
2. extended drive creator
3. scooter kitchen tools
but i am not able to look into the contents, it has the required _QHiddenPartition directory which has all the theme and image files for FMRadio/Mediaplus and Equaliser.
can anybody help me .
regards
Shreedhara
Mediaplus is very tricky..the images are in Ext ROM..but the links to executables are somewhere from the XIP section..any way keep working
Well
I don't think u understand my problem.
I was able to run the Mediaplus(v1.0) app on my Eten M700 earlier when I had WM5 on my eten.
But after I changed it to WM6, I want something new and hence I am trying to get the Atom Life Mediaplus (v2.0), which is better looking than the earlier one.
But SInce the latest ROM's from O2 have differenct format
It contains
lot of asm.mbss files (Motherboard assembly ) and FLASH.DIO and ExROM.img
with XLDR.nb and EBoot.nb0 files also.
But that Extended rom is hardnut to crack, it does not open at all for any tools we have here.
That'swhy I asked for help, so that I can extract it.

Samsung i780 kitchen - release 0.1 BETA

DEPRECATED VERSION: USE 0.2 BETA INSTEAD
PLEASE NOTICE THAT THIS KITCHEN IS A VERY EARLY BETA AS IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEPLY TESTED
*** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY! ***
Hi guys,
after many days of testing I'm releasing my kitchen for i780.
It is very basic: no gui, only batch Windows scripts.
What you can do with this kitchen:
A) Convert your Part02.raw dumped rom to bin flashable PDA rom
B) Create a dump folder to cook your own rom and recreate a bin flashable PDA file.
Please notice that there's no tool included to edit, add or delete modules and files from rom dump.
You must use one of the tools available here in forum to do this or do this by hand.
Donwload the zip file and extract everything.
READ CAREFULLY THE README FILE IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE
This file explains how the procedures work and what you need.
PLEASE TEST THIS KITCHEN AND REPORT YOUR RESULTS
I thank chaimd for his bintonb0 tool, tadzio for his tools and Juggler for conv3 sourcecode.
I also thank Topogigi for his original procedure.
I modified conv3 tool to make it work with i780 rom files and made split and merge tools.
If you want to try this kitchen, I thank you!
[FONT=&quot]If any guru in the forum wants to make a gui for this kitchen or insert tools for module, file and registry editing (like the ones you can find in other kitchens), it would be appreciated.[/FONT]
Issue 1: it seems there's a problem with Part02.raw conversion. It screws up connection settings. Problem is being investigated.
[Partial solution]: it seems that this problem is due to both size and language: I used an English rom to convert an Italian Part02.raw.
Using an Italian rom seems to solve the problem. But you must check the new rom size: if it's too big it gets cut down and it doesn't work.
Amazing Thank you very much!

I love your footer about the 8502 being a mistake. I also own one. what a dissappointing and relatively useless machine it is, and I can't find a buyer...
I have tried with dump of HC1 italian but I have more problems.
The more little is the desappear of office folder but most important is the deseppear of remote connection e wifi connection.

Don't think you can.

Convert Part02.raw to .bin
Hello famusc,
Thanks for your effort to create a kitchen for the i780! I wanted to create a backup of my Dutch i780-rom (PDA: i780XKHA3) and I managed to dump part00.raw, part01.raw and part02.raw.
Now I wanted to convert part02.raw to a flashable .bin file so I could reflash this Dutch rom if I want to go back to factory defaults, but the warnings make me a bit scary to test the .bin I created, so I wanted to ask some questions first:
-The .bin has to be as large as possible, I have the i780pda_WWE_test2.bin which is 78.512 kB and my Part02.raw is 79.104 kB. The .bin I get when the conversion is finished has a size of 78.512 kB. Does this mean some data of my original dump is lost? (I kinda understand your conversion tool replaces the part02.raw file of a flashable .bin rom with another part02.raw which in my case is the Dutch part., but is all the information still in it?)
-My second question is if it is a problem if I used an English .bin with a Dutch .raw?
If you could please anwer my questions I would be very happy, because I have seen some requests for Dutch i780 roms and it might come in handy for other languages, because in this rom Windows Live Messenger is included (and obviously working). So maybe someone can extract it.
If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

Thank you for using my kitchen.
First of all I ask you to use version 0.2 BETA: it contains some important corrections in conv3 tool.
Now:
1) Part02.raw is usually bigger than required. So we are interested into its shrinked size. I think that your 78512K bin file should be good.
In 0.2 kitchen it is explained how to check bin size is enough for new data.
2) It's not clear whether you'll have problem with a bin of a different language than raw file. As for my experience, I always got connection problem when I used a different language bin. You can try and then have a look at connection settings and at wifi Internet-Work settings. If you find no connection defined or you can't connect through wifi, than it doesn't work.
You should use a Dutch bin to be sure you'll have no problem.
Hope I helped you,
Bye
Hi, Thank You for your I780 Kitchen ,
this is first time i build a rom,
may i know that where can i found the file
part02.raw?
Thank You for reply =)

Question on cooking with an official rom (Language Related)

Hi gurus,
I have tried several official rom and I would like to know on how to I release the ULDR as Bepe had mentioned in his rom thread on the official roms.
i have just learn cooking and have managed to alter offical roms to my likings. but the storage space is just not enough on the official roms, even after cooking.
thus, can any kind chefs share with me on how to release more storage while cooking. I believe this would be relatively useful for all newbie cookers.
Thanks a million!

i am using the diamond kitchen posted in this forum.
kind of straight forward, like pressing 1 or 2 to cook or rebuild roms
You have to break it into steps, and stop after XIP merge with OS (just before buildOS)
This is where you can add, remove anything. Packages, etc.
i have managed to cook up a good storage space rom with the advice from the seniors here as well as the wikis.
but now i have another problem.
i have managed to turn one of the latest official WWE rom into Sim. Chinese. although, i have replaced all the wince.nls in the WWE rom to the asian WWE, but after cooking and flashing, it does not shows the chinese regions.
i have tried several ways but still couldnt find a way to solve this.
for replacing wince.nls in roms, is there areas which i need to look at, or files i need to replace?
btw, the cook WWE rom is entirely in chinese now on my device, the only left unsolve is the wince.nls.
one side track question, how do i disable error reporting? every now and then i received a pop up screen saying that certain task has caused an error ...
can anyone kindly help?
Ruff, if ever there's anything you don't know how to do with tools, just do it on your handset, dump and rebuild the rom. As simple as that.
So just disable the error rep and happy dumping.
^.^
i almost give up here.
i have replace the default.hv and user.hv with the one found in the CHT officlal rom but still, my Cooked WWE rom is still unable to initialise the asian wince.nls ...
what am i missing here?
can any kind soul shed some light?
2nd issue> connectionsetup keep returning an error in the first boot. how do i stop this?
hi all,
thanks for everything.
i just found out why the wince.nls is not used correctly.
after replacing the os.nb in the ROM\ folder with the os.nb from the offical chs rom, it works.
although, i dun understand why but it works now. chinese region is selectable.
i also found that the temp\dump_XIP is practically useless, as the kitchen build os without using it at all ...
guess i still need to figure out more stuff manually and stop using the CMD script. it may be the CMD scripts that is set to extract xip from os.nb when cooking rom. thus, rendering the dump_xip not being used.
thanks. if there is any advice for me, please kindly let me know.
i love XDA and thank you JugglerLKR so much for the kitchen.
Hi ruffruff,
Could you please give me any advice on how to change the OS language ? I had some translation experience on the htc wizard but it was a nightmare. I see it seem easier on diamond roms. It would be great If I could change some of the "plates" cooked on here in Italian. I really hate having the phone in wwe.

hi smogdragon,
i believe you already have a kitchen at hand.
if so, you will need to find a italian rom first and dump the rom. after which, save the dump. then find the WWE rom which you like and wish to change it to italian. dump the WWE rom and replace all the 0409 packages and files to your italian packages and files which you have dump earlier.
cook the rom and flash.
finally, i have everything working out nicely.
ram available after first boot is still not as much as the senior cookers here.
i have 2 requests and hope that some kind soul or seniors can help me with:
1) Can anyone release to me the correct backward compatible netcf3.5 for rom cooking?
2) Can anyone release to me the 20270 XIP and teach me how to port it to my cook rom?
thanks and hope that some kind soul can assist me.
I see Nothing is changed. DO you replace all the files by hand ? Or have some kind of automated procedure ? The problem for me is I've not seen any .93 build in italian yet so I don't know where to find the files without messing the build.

u dun really need the exact build for the italians mui files.
just find an available italian rom and extract all the mui files out.
in english rom, replace those 0409 folders and files with your MUI files by HAND. hehe, no pain no gain ...
do more reading on the forum. i am no expert. like you, i am also a newbie/noob in rom cooking. just trial and error. i too need guidance from the expert but in the meantime, when they are not responding, you have to DIY...
cheers

Hi,
I'm trying to cook my own rom to convert the official Russian rom into english.
I've a quick question about the replacing the 0409 folder.
I'm going to be going from 0419 folders (russian) to 0409 (english), do I delete the 0419 directories and just add in the 0409 ones, or do I have to delete the 0419 folders and then rename the 0409 to 0419.
I'm guessing just delete the 0419 ones and stick in the 0409 instead, but want to make sure.
Is there anything else I need to do. I guess I'm looking for all the 0419 folders in the \OEM and \SYS directories?
Does anyone know if this will get around the region lock on a Russian Diamond?
Plus is there anything else I will need to do?
Do I have to do anything with XIP, that's something I'm really not sure about?
Cheer
Andrew

once you've dumped your rom and segregated them into OEM/SYS folders, you'll see most of your packages in your OEM folder, sometimes some cooks put them into SYS folders too!
So, find the proggie, and just get rid of the whole folder with the app.
To edit registry, open the corresponding .rgu file in the folder in notepad and edit it.
I use PackageCreator2.7 by ervius to create packages, pretty nice and simple to use...search for it!
To build the OS/rom, I use PkgToolsBuildOS-5.3
I'm still stuck at a problem myself and i haven't found the time yet to get it working....
good luck m8, looking forward to your roms! cheers
