Hi, I was trying to make a Korean Rom for Hermes for quite some time... can you share your sorce for making one and how to? This is what I've tried till now and the qusetions I have...
The Question:
1. How do I install and change the default font of the ROM?
2. How to change the dictionary in your language, settings for your language, t9 dictionary for your language, keyboard layout?
Here is the tutorial I've found: (originaly written by a member of XDA-Developers: Tna)
Step 1
(a)Download your language emulator Files from
(b) install the downloaded file
(c)Take the emulator image that you want from the installation folder.
For example, if you have downloaded the images for Korean language look in the folder "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\0412":
The image for Hermes is: PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN
(d) extract the emulator files in a new folder.
to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:
- Download Tadzio's imgfs
- Unzip the tools along with the emulator image(PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN) in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:
Code:
> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)
> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)
> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN
(Now the extracted files are dumped in /Dump directory)
(e) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 412 (e.g. 0412.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *412* files and then rename them)
Step 2
Find your BASE ROM. (e.g. Hermes Black Rom)
Step 3
Download your Kitchen. (e.g. Anichullus Core Professional Kitchen)
Step 4
Dump the BASE ROM (If you use Anichullus Kitchen , follow the manual but Stop BEFORE using Bepe's Package TOOL)
Step 5
Go to DUMP folder (e.g. C:\core\extract\dump) and paste ALL the language files you have
renamed from step 1e. ATTENTION you have to copy and paste ALL files from your
language folder AFTER you have renamed them to 409 . REPLACE duplicate files
Step 6
Continue with kitchen steps . For instance if you were to use Bepe's Package TOOL , go on and build the packages.
Step 7
Edit Initflashes.dat file . Information on how to do that are in every cooking tutorial. In
Intflashes.dat file you will have to translate all the links and directories according to your
language files. CAUTION if you make mistakes in translation your WM6 will be crappy and
programs may not start
->In order to make a good translation check your original rom, or try the WM6 emulator with your language files and check the directory names.
Step 8
Save Initflashes.dat in unicode and remove first two bytes with a hex editor
Step 9
Choose your OEM packages.
about keyboard, you must add with a oem package also:
- dictionary in your language
- settings for your language
- t9 dictionary for your language
- for keyboard layout make this registry mod:
Code:
Registry Editor:
HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
Create a string "Locale" with "0412" vale. Everything without "Where 0412 is your country value.
Step 10
build your rom according to your kitchen manual
Hi, I have the same dubiousness, where I find the keyboard packages? I'm looking for Keyb Portuguese Brazil(Dictionary, settings, etc)... If anybody know please help me.Thank's.
hi~ nice to meet u. rom cooking is hard to me so i just wondered how to add t9 korean language pack to my english rom. I use my htc t3050 with win mobile 6.5 english rom.
so there are no korean font and no korean locale. how can i do?
I also have blackjack1 and m480(mirage) but that rom is korean rom. if u can help me, please let me know how to find t9 korean language pack and how to install to my english rom. thanks a lot for your text and hope to answer about my text.
if u dont mind, you can answer with korean, that is better for me.. kk
try to find a korean rom with T9 dictionary in your native lang... then dump it using wichever kitchen in the Chef central subforum... dump the rom get the t9 files and replace the ones in the rom of your phone
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!!
new version of buildos, now:
1) xip porting for os ber updating;
2) updater for Rom Creation Date;
3) Updater for Rom version at Boot screen!!!
enjoy!!!
improved some context menus on selected package.....
xip porting for OS version and Rom's Date creations Updater!!
new version of package creator, to have own directory where place shortcuts, and some minor bugs solved
here: and added links in initflashfiles.txt for .htm files for "Help"!!!
P.S.: I need beta testing for my apps, becouse, I go on programming and there are allwais same bung into...
bye!!! ( a big thanks to guybrush and udk for testing and support, but specially to Vibranze for testing package creator!!!)

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?
I've to delete "tom" at the end of map.txt?

I don't have your error, but if finally you have oem and sys folders, then it works well...
but you can try to delete and post if it work...
bye!!
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?

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.

Your OS is in part2, first two parts are the XIP partition aka your boot sector.

this is the simplified Kitchen for Toshiba G810. This will only edit the IMGFS section of the ROM. The ROM file is FLASH.bin
To dump:
1. Place ROM file FLASH.bin inside \ROM folder
2. Execute Dump.cmd
3. \OEM & \SYS folders will be generated
I have inserted the XIP contents for you, so you don't have to worry with XIP. It's from the latest official update of G810
To build:
1. Execute Build.cmd (requires .NET2.0 to work)
2. After the entire process, your new ROM will be found in \output folder
Excellent! Thanks ferryboat! This'll be great to fiddle with!

Why you do not join also to www.portegeclub.com?
EDIT:
HERE there are some ROMs
Hi,
I have a Toshiba G810. And i am new on windows mobile with a very little knowledge. What is the difference between original Windows Mobile 6.1 rom and Simplified Kitchen version?
Thanks.
I'm trying to port my Asus P565 (XDA Zest) to WM6.5. This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM and I'm a little stuck - I just can't get the device to boot after flashing.
These are the steps I have done so far:
1. Used p835abisplit2 to extract Original WM6.1 P565 ABI into os.nb0
2. Extracted XIP from os.nb0
3. Extracted imgfs dump from hdubli's 21231 ROM
4. Ported XIP using XIP Kitchen, original XIP as Device XIP, 23022 as Donor XIP & hdubli's 21231 .VM & .ROM folders
5. Padded XIP to original size using bPatch.exe
6. Copied SYS from 23022 into Vivi's P252 kitchen & rebuilt using BuildOS
7. Created imgfs.bin from dump folder
8. Merged XIP.bin back into os.nb0
9. Merged imgfs.bin back into os.nb0
10. Converted to .abi & flashed to device
And I can't get it to boot no matter what. As I said, I'm a n00b to cooking ROMs, so if someone could point out where I'm going wrong I would be eternally grateful!

Use the original 6.1 abi to get OEM and SYS
USe the OEM and use 6.5 SYS from the builds here
Use the scripts which I have mentioned
u can get ROm to boot

What about P552w? Are the step same as P565?
And How to add the language packages into the list?
Because, It's not suitable to use ervius Kitchen to process Asus ROM
Oh, where could I get the hdubli's scripts?
Moreover... May I know the minimum file list in OEMMISC for making cleaner ROM?
i.e. without Youtube&Flickr, ClearVue PDF Viewer, Asus Today, Asus Launch!, EziMusic, EziPhoto and StreamingPlayer
I have copied OEM packages from 6.1 ROM & SYS from 6.5 ROM into Kitchen & built OS. Still nothing. Do I need to copy anything from new/old XIP into kitchen? Does anything else need to be done to XIP after I port it via XIP Kitchen? I took out hd.dll, osaxst0.dll, mencfilt.dll and cachefilt.dll as there wasn't enough space in the XIP - does this matter?
Also, I am using the .VM file from your ROM for G'Reloc.
I think I'm missing one crucial step somewhere
Nagato - I think P552w should be the same process, only using different SYS DPI. For languages you need the appropriate SYS files for your language from Da_G's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
(See also Post #4 for how to integrate these)
The tools used are:
p835abisplit2.exe - To extract os.nb0 from .abi
osnbtool.exe - To extract IMGFS, XIP & ExtROM from os.nb0
XIP Kitchen - To port 6.1 XIP to 6.5
I made a tool p835abisplit2 previously for ROM rebuilding, however that tool only fully works for P565 and earlier devices, which has many limitations for P835 and newer devices. So now I rewrite it to have full functions!
Applicable Devices:
- Asus P835
- Garmin Asus M20, M10
Usage:
- Decompiling ROM
1. p835abisplit3 <abi/exe file>
2. If input is an exe file, then a decrypted abi file will be extracted, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)
3. 13 files are extracted, content on each file is explained in their file names
3.1 txt file is the partition definition, you can customize the abi by editing this file
3.2 OS file is in B000FF format. Use osnbtool -sp twice to get a correct nb file
3.3 EXTROM is a standard FAT Image, you can open and modify directly with WinImage
- Rebuilding ROM
1. Modify txt file as you need (Optional)
2. Rename updated file to their original names
2.1 For building OS file, use osnbtool -extra os.nb 0x8 and osnbtool -2bin -CutHeader
3. p835abisplit3 /b <abi/exe file>
4. out.abi is created, which can be used with the Asus internal flash tool (Not available here)
5. If input file is an exe file, out.enc (Encrypted abi) and out.exe (Flash utility with updated ROM and region patch)
- Warning
1. This tool now is too powerful that you can easily brick your device if you modify the txt file incorrectly, so take care! (However it is proved to work by hdubli)
2. This tool is checked to create identical abi file if you rebuild without touching anything. If this is not the case with your base ROM, don't continue cooking and let me know!
** Please note that if you modify the partition layout, the length of text must be < 24 bytes **
If this post is left too long without updates, you can check new versions at http://www.studiokuma.com/tools/?section=misc-e
Great job, man!
If you can update the tool for extracting the Acer ROMs that can be used for extracting NeoTouch S200's ROMs of version 3.xxx, that'll be excellent!!!

EXTROM from P835
Great tool, but there is still one backlog. As tool still cant directly extract extrom resp.ASUS_ROM from P835 (its working pretty well with M10,M20,P565). Even at the end is extrom located in os.nb0. After such impementation it will be perfect tool
No, don't trust the tools reports the FATFS at last partition of os.nb0. It is a dummy partition in all new ROMs from any vendor.
As I can tell from the G5 abi, there is no extrom in it.
EXTROM from P835
You are partially right as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles doesnt contains any usual ext partition.
But how you explain that standard EXTROM files are parts of OS.NB0 ?
Isnt so usual that those EXT files are part of main image. These are typical extrom file, see what I extracted :
P835 is bit specific, as not contains just dummy file for extrom package.
And one more question regarding P835, as you probably know there is problem with relatively small ROM space.
Even I removed lot of crap files, ROM image is still showing same size. Pdocread is showing total 200MB on DSK1.
But available is only 97.18MB.
Anyone cooking for the M10?

asus m20 cook rom
Thanks for your good tool, I am now cooking a rom of asus m20 and I have been successed to work out a file called "flash.bin" final, would you please tell me how to do to make it change to say "m20.exe". Or do you have any suggestion eg. use bootloader. Thank you very much. I really need your help.
Firstly, your ROM needs to be extracted by a exe file instead of abi file first.
When you need to build exe file, use the /b switch.
Extract: p835abisplit3 xyz.exe
Build: p835abisplit3 /b xyz.exe
Then out.exe will be the new flash utility with your changes and region lock patched.

Thanks for your answer, I still meet problem even I use your method, so let me give more detail as follow:
1. I have split the xyz.exe with your tool and a xyz.abi and 13 more files extracted.
2. And I also use some kitchen to make a new rom file called flash.bin.
3. I rename "flash.bin" to "Os.bin" (one of the 13 files)
4. Lastly, I follow your instruction to build ie. p835abispilt3 /b xyz.exe, a out.abi will come out
So, how should I do to change this "flash.bin" to become the xyz.exe for flashing. Your help should be most appreiate. Thanks
my asus m20 device is bricked, any idea? Please help
Jtag
Does anyone have experience with jtag on P835 ?
Or is there any other way how to recover dead bootloader on MSM Asus devices ?
i can't open p835abisplit3.exe
how can i open
M930
Hi Stark Wong,
please could you modify p835abisplit3.exe in order to correctly work with M930 ?
See error message :
I have updated the tool to support longer string, that should fix your issue.
Download it in first post.
To others: You must have the original EXE to form output exe. Just pass the EXE when building, it will read the new ABI and generate a new EXE file. You can't generate EXE when you only get the ABI file.
Thanks
Thanks a lot for fix.
Note that even you will incorretly use this tool, nearly always is way how to recover.
