How to decompile Herald/Wing ROM to folder format - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I'm kinda new to ROM extraction and cooking but have managed to use a few usefull tools to do what I need with my Titan ROM's. My question is, how could I extract a herald or wing rom to folder format. Meaning like used in a kitchen. There are a few file (icons and such) I would love to integrate into my Titan ROM's but I just don't know enough about these ROM's to do what I need. One very usefull tool I use on my Titan ROM's is Dogguys Kitchen Maker but it errors on these ROM's I'm trying to rob parts from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Kitchen gone missing

I had a Rom Kitchen that allowed me to extract the contents of any ROM NBH file and break it down into its files add things change things then re-make the ROM with the new additions and changes.
I cannnot find this Kitchen anywhere to download again only ones that already have a base ROM can anyone help me find the Kitchen without a base ROM I beleive it had some of BEPE's tools in it and tools like BuildOS and extract ROM.
I hope someone can help me find this Kitchen or at least if I have to have one with a base ROM these days recommend a good one they use.

Ripping .cabs from other ROMS

I have searched for the last 2 hours and cannot come up with a good answer.
I have a collection of various ROMS that people have cooked up, for instance Blinky and others. There are some items I would like to grab from these ROM sets and either make my own or install a ROM and install these other file individually from the .cab files.
I guess the question is how would I go about tearing apart the .nbh file so I could get what I wanted from it?
ThanX in advance.
Use ROMDonalds kitchen to extract whatever you want out a ROM. Use the signature link before to search for the Kitchen!

how to take out theme from a rom?

i really like theme by CRC but MRH software is the 1 installed in my dopod currently.. so would like to ask is it posibble for me to take out the theme embedded in the CRC rom?
Maybe
I think you can just change your theme and then search the device for the .tsk and delete it.. But on the cooking side... I'm not sure, I've been trying to figure this out.. I believe u need to edit a xml file in the oemversion folder... Still looking into it though.
You can use this tool to extract what you want!
thank you very much!
Not really, That just extracts to nb files so you can swap portions of a rom around, much like the old "rom Koch" did (rom Koch also allowed you to break apart the roms into ther windows directories and such but I've had no success with the newer 6.1 roms).
I think the OP was trying to get the theme not the windows directory. Not sure how you'd do that as I'm no chef. I myself like the icons and things used in one rom but prefer the performance of another rom. Unfortunately I haven't got the patience or the right kitchen tools to rip apart the roms then recook them to my liking... Thats why I REALLY appreciate the time and effort put in by the chefs.. They rock.
Cheers...

The theme is just a .tsk file and you can use the aforementioned app to copy the .tsk file from any ROM and the use the same app to add it to whatever ROM you want.

Extracting CAB from ROM

Sorry for this NOOB-Question... I really tried it by myself!
Didnt find the solution i was looking for,....
I simply want to have certain CAB out of different ROMs.
There are many nice ROMs here in the Forum... and all are a little different ...
Now i like to have one cab from ROM "A","B", "C"..and install it on together with ROM"X".
But how do I get the CABs out of the ROM?
For Example HTC Connetction Setup out of the Bepe 0.99d or Duttys_Diamond V1.8 to install it in the DIAMOND ROM V3.3
I found some "How to Cook"- Guidelines.. but none of them helped me getting the Cabs?! Did i make a mistake?? Or isnt it that easy?
Would be nice if you could help me out with that?!
And no.... the HTC ConnectionSetup_CAB you can find here in the Forum isnt working on my device... but the one in Bepes Rom is doing his job.
Thank.. and again sorry..
Bobo
Use CeCmd (attachment).
Copy it to your device, run it, adjust the file properties (show hidden and ROM files).
Choose the files you want (search the windows folder) and copy it to a (in advance created!) folder of your choice.
Thanks...
..it worked... Now I can pick out the CABs I like from the ROMs I like and install it into my favorite ROM! GREATING THE BEST ROM IN THE MILKYWAY!! UUUAAAHH!!
Thanks again!!

New Old style kitchen based on Bepe's tools

Hi here i release an OLD style kitchen based on Bepes tools
I have taken bepe's kitchen and created some batch files to make it a one click extract and one click build and flash
I was so used to the old style kitchens and when they stoped working (failing at xip extract) i was looking for something that worked that i could use easly.
I found bepes kitchen, and it was nearly the same so i ported the batch files from diamond kitchen 0.4 to make this.
this kitchen uses the new style packages but has the look and feel of the diamond kitchen 0.4
I am still looking for the package creater that makes these NEW style packages but can't seem to find it now so if anyone has it please drop me a link so i can include it in the kitchen tools
download link ---->
http://rapidshare.com/files/217781904/Kitchen.rar
Instructions
1 place you RUU_Signed.nbh in the baserom folder
2 click on !Begin
3 Dont touch anything until extraction is finished (approx 5-10minutes)
4 Modify your packages
5 click on !Cook
6 wait until the htc rom tool loads
7 select diamond in device, os.new.nb as the source OS and save as kitchen/RUU_Signed.nbh
8 close htc rom tool and Custom RUU flash tool will load
9 flash and enjoy
......
will this kitchen group the OEM and SYS files properly. im having difficulty in using the new format or everything's in SYS\MSXIPKernel folder.
Is the Rom dump protected after cooking?

not had time yet to try and test if i can rebuild a cooked rom, will have a go tonight and post my findings.
This is Bepe's Kitchen automated by batch files so he is the best person to talk to about protection
sorry to be a little blunt but i am a noob when it comes to cooking that why i found something that worked for me and made it a little easyer to use,
Protected Rom? Almost Rom when rebuilding, it will delete all dsm file, so you can't use package tool.
ok i have now tried the flashing, and the cooked roms won't pass the splash screen page, not getting the device info in bottom right corner.
anybody there who uses bepe's kitchen mind having a look for me.
also i can't open a re-cooked rom

I had the same problem and it was a XIP "mess-up". however I can't help you more than this.
try asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3575850&postcount=131
i simply do NOT understand why build a tool that deletes stuffs that are important for cooking. isnt rom cooking supposed to be an open project for ALL? i mean some chef have the donate button in their sigs. but their rom's locked. it isnt fair to those (like myself) trying to learn how to cook a rom. i mean, i try to compare official roms and custom roms insides. what are the difference. it's by comparing that people learn to differenciate. and i would say BAHHH to missing rgu and dsm files!!
My thoughts exactly... Alas...
it is ironic, that NONE of the chefs who lock roms/doesn't supply kitchen/ask for donation wrote the code themselves. In short - everybody operates on stolen/leaked or any other way obtained code.
Ok, there are authors who created tools. And those guys have full right (and reason) to ask for donations fro that - TOOLS.
Otherwise - it's just funny. it's like stealing a car, and then asking police to protect it....
no panic.
at normaly old style kitchens never delete dsm'S.
and if you delete manualy dsm'S, you get all files in folder.
i think, with protect rom it means, no recookable roms.
it stops at point 1 or in the first step by using BEGIN! with a message like
"rom is smaller/bigger than/at starts" or so. excuise me, i've forgot the exactly words.
for checking of recookable rom i checked it with "htcRIE_0.5.0.12.exe".
it shows you all files with oem/sys - folders. but the oem can be empty. you find the oem-files than in sys-folder.
these points are my thinks that i see/learned by beginning flashing and cooking until now. other people can see/learn other thinks so dont dismiss me, if you are not my oppinien - but you can dismiss my english
