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="]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.
In another thread, people were talking about a xip part needed to switch from wm6 to wm6.1

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 =)
(the steps below are so easy. please do not ask me to send you the rom unless you upload it to an unlimited server for other x04ht users. thanks.)
having been fighting with the dumped rom for two weeks, i finally could rebuild x04ht rom from dumped raw files. i thought i should share my experience with other x04ht users although it is nothing really special. general guides say, "just put raw files into the baserom folder with a base rom and run the kitchen", but this does not work.
see here if you do not know how to dump roms.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
assume you know how to use kaiser kitchen and dos commands and already have part0x.raw files and RUU_signed.nbh.
RUU_signed.nbh of cht rom recommended.
1) put Part01.raw, Part02.raw and RUU_signed.nbh in BaseROM folder
2) run !BEGIN.cmd and choose 1 to extract shipped rom
3) when it's done, you see temp, oem, rom and sys folders in the kitchen
4) delete oem, rom and sys folders because you don't need them now
5) copy XIPPort.exe to temp folder
6) copy Part01.raw to temp folder
7) rename Part01.raw to xip.bin
8) run XIPPort.exe
9) click "dump xip.bin" and you will see OUT folder now
10) there is boot.rgu in OUT\FILES. copy it to your desktop or somewhere
11) click "build xip_out.bin"
12) change the first box from 00310000 to 00320000, and the second from nk.nb to OS.NB.Payload
13) click "write xip_out.bin"
14) open command prompt and go to temp folder
15) type "..\TOOLS\NBMerge -kaiser os.nb" in command prompt
16) when NBMerge is done, close command prompt
17) copy os.nb to your desktop or somewhere
18) delete temp folder
19) run !BEGIN.cmd and choose 2 to extract dumped rom
20) when it's done, you see temp, oem, rom and sys folders in the kitchen
21) copy boot.rgu to rom\xip folder and replace OS.NB in rom folder by the one you created above
22) your kitchen is ready to use
does anyone hep me upload the rebuilt rom?? thanks.

first of all, i used kaiser kitchen. what you need is Part01.raw, Part02.raw and RUU_Signed.nbh (i used the htc shipped wwe rom.) general guides say, "just put all these files into the baserom folder and run the kitchen", but this does not work.
second step is just usual. run the kitchen to extract oem, sys and rom. after this step, you will have OS.NB in the "rom" folder. you need to change this file to make the kitchen work. you need to make OS.NB.Payload from OS.NB. to do so, just execute "NBSplit.exe -kaiser OS.NB"
now, you need XIPPort.exe, Part01.raw and OS.NB.Payload. copy OS.NB.Payload and Part01.raw to the folder where you have XIPPort.exe, and rename Part01.raw to xip_out.bin. run XIPPort.exe. you will see two boxes on the bottom. change the first box from 00310000 to 00320000, and the second box from nk.nb to OS.NB.Payload. finally, click "write xip_out.bin", and you have a new OS.NB.Payload.
you will make a new os.nb from this OS.NB.Payload by "NBMerge -kaiser os.nb"
just replace os.nb in the kitchen "rom" folder by this new os.nb. and now you can start cooking a rom.

Hello qt
ohisashiburi... you can upload the rom to my server. no limitations.
How do you solve the Smail! problem? MMS lite craps itself every now and then.
I am using 2 touch pro since July, so I have no idea what SB uses for
their Smail. The old softbank mail app doesnt work anymore..

address of your server? thanks.
x04ht has Arcsoft's mms client for smail (softbank mms), which is integrated into wm messaging and much faster/better than access' slow mms client provided at sb's x series site. there must be some trick with it (maybe, checking language/locale setting or certificate), and it did not run on wwe rom. been preoccupied with dumped rom reconstruction, i haven't had much time to play with this program yet.
this x04ht rom has many japanese apps and 411 muis, and am sure many can play with it to make our sb devices working better!

Hey,
Thanks for the info, but I tried, and couldn't get it to work.
First step, you said that it doesn't work, so what was that works? the second and third that makes it work???
The second step, where did you have to put the Split? because just clicking it will not make it run... and so it is with the third step too
Thanks

Here is it - 2 versions of WM6.1- i780 PDXIB1
There are two versions, one with 4Mb page pool and another with 8Mb, made by me from the first one.
Both are with ORIGINAL content, first is untouched (4MbPP), second has the only change of Page pool since I have seen many requests and seems nobody cares about that, not to make it, or to help others to do it.

thanks dakotaro, i have been waiting for this since the official IB1 rom was released, thank you very m,uch for making the effort!
u only modded the rom to increase the PP to 8MB? how about the 4MB .bin? i was reading ur posts here but i dunno if i understand it properly, u mean the original rom is already 4MB pagepool?
is it possible to make it into a 16MB flavoured one?
thank you very much, i dunno about the rest here but i truly appreciate u taking the time out to do this

thanks a lot buddy!! yes u r right nobody doesnt wanna teach exactly how to do it i tried to do it with help of ironeagle and inertiax3 assistant but i failed many times can u teach us how to do it? i mean can u prepare a document step by step in detail?
it could be nice if u show it by screenshots
thanks a lot it is great rom!!!!!!!!
Hi Guys
Wrathmode - Yes, the original rom has a 4Mb pagepool.
I will try to make one having a 16Mb pp but I think 8Mb should be enough to have most of the apps running.
benveq - I will do a step by step guide, but no I do not make any promise for when since my time for this is quite limited and I researched how do do it just to get this original version with 8Mb PP. I do not think I will do cooking and I see no reason to embed in rom lot's of things as long as they can easy be installed and upgraded later on the normal way.
I can see a reason to embed some anti theft software pre-configured for the sim in order to survive to a hard reset and maybe I will do that in the future, but again, no promises.
There is a lot of fragmented information and nobody says clear what steps and tools are using to cook, add/remove packages, etc. They just expect us to search and work like they did and I can understand that till a given level.
But what's then the point of learning if you don't share that ?
Anyway.I will do what I said in the limit of the time I will have.
My best wishes to all.

PagePoolChanger
Hi Guys,
Here is it like I promise.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/lnyyjzk1ion/i780-PagePoolChanger.zip
I have created a .bat file. Use is as simple as possible:
1.Get one of your bins
2.Rename it to be i780.bin and place it in the same folder with the files extracted from the zip.
3.call chg-pp.bat as follow
chg-ppp i780 16
where:
i780 is your base file name without the .bin extension
16 is the size of the page pool.You can use any of the allowed values(4,8,12,16)
If all goes ok, you should found a xxxxxx-flashable.bin file in your folder.
Tested on the ROM's I posted before in this thread, on others is your own risk.
Credits goes for the people who created the involved tools. I was just using them in the right order and created the bat file to make the job as easiest as possible.
Enjoy!

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 -

Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers

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

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
cheers

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!

thanks a lot for kitchen tools and ur explanations! i read ur blog all the time great work!!

i have two problems while i am using ervius pkgtools
1. when i open dumo folder it shows

and i extract xip file using osbntool as xip.bin
any solutions for both of these?

false alarm?
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
Hello everyone,
here's the wm6.5 rom for asus p835.
last updated: 10-12-09
http://cid-cf1603cd2858a369.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/PUBLIC
So far tested everything ok except Garmin XT not working anymore. Cant even start the application. Please let me know if you find otherwise.
btw, as usual, you use this rom at your own risk as you should understand there's always risk when flashing rom to your mobile... blah blah blah..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14-12-09]
I guess most of us p835 users have to use our own effort to build the rom for this phone.
Here i will give you some guide how I did building the ROM. Hopefully we can gather more intelligence to make a nicer ROM for this phone.
first off, I will explain how to properly extract xip/sys from the original ROM. With these only you can modify it's system.
Tools needed: p835abisplit2.exe, osnbtool.exe
1. rename the original ROM you downloaded from asus site. Rename to G5.exe. run command: "p835abisplit2 g5.exe". You will now get a file FLASH.BIN.
2. Now we need to work with FLASH.BIN. Using OSNBTOOL, put in command "osnbtool -sp flash.bin", you will get something just like below:
OS ROM Partition Tool V1.59 By Weisun :> PDAclan.com
Sector size : 0x00000800
Extra data bytes : 0x00000008
OS IMAGE found.
Partitions infomation:
**************************************
Part-0 type: BOOT SECTION image
Part-1 type: XIP RAM Image
Part-2 type: IMGFS file system
Part-3 type: legit DOS partition
**************************************
Found BIN_FILE structure in source file.
Records: 0x0000036D RecordsSize: 0x06E10328
StartAddr: 0x01030200 ---------------->we need this address when we repack flash.bin. Check if yours is the same with this?
flash.bin.Header written.
3. command: "osnbtool -sp flash.bin.BIN.NB0"
4. command: "osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs.bin" --> you'll get imgfs.bin
5. command: "osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip.bin" --> you'll get xip.bin
6. command: "imgfstodump imgfs.bin" --> with this, you'll get a "imgfs" folder. You'll need to make it into a easy to use package. rename the folder to dump.
7. command: "packagebuilder dump" --> you will see inside dump folder, you have all files packed into different folders. You wont be able to see a single file in dump folder. if you do, probably packagebuilder unable to recognize them or something wrong with the files(i'm not sure what to do then). The most important thing in dump folder are the folders with letters starting with OEMxxxx and .ROM, .VM. These few folders should be retained in the new system. Others are all replaced with new system.
assume you are able to modify everything without question, you are now in the situation where you want to repack a ROM. We will need these files in the same folder: FLASH.BIN.HEADER, flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB, IMGFS.BIN.
1. You will need to repack imgfs first. using "imgfsfromdump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin", you get the new imgfs-new.bin.
2. assuming you already modified xip.bin, it should be in name xip-new.bin. Using "osnbtool -c flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip-new.bin"
3. "osnbtool -c flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW 2 imgfs-new.bin", repacking imgfs
4. "osnbtool -extra flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW"
5. "osnbtool -2bin flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW.EXA 0x01030200 -cutheader", remember when we first unpack FLASH.BIN? There's a starting address which we must use here.
6. "copy/b/y flash.bin.Header+flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB.NEW.NEW.EXA.BIN os-new.nb0"
7. "p835abisplit2 /B G5.EXE" ---> you must have the original ROM G5.exe. Output is a file named "out.exe". This is a USB flash file. For me, I'd prefer a card flashing ABI file. Which I felt safer. For generating ABI file, you will need to download a flashable ABI file, rename to G5.abi and run this command "p835abisplit2 /B G5.ABI". You will get "OUT.ABI". Rename to G5_ALL_WWE.ABI to flash with an SD card.
Btw, all these are not my original works, credits to DA_G for his ROMs and guides, BEPE and others for their great tools, zhaochengw: most of the guides above is from him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[16-12-09]
SYS modification:
to upgrade a sys, all you need from original ROM is .ROM, .VM and all OEMxxxxx folders. (that's all i know of). All other folders are to be deleted and replaced with folders from new builds. After you work out a complete SYS, use G'reloc to relocate address. I've tried using WMreloc, but everytime i tried doesnt boot. I'm not sure what caused the problem but at least G'reloc worked. There might be some hiccups when using G'reloc, you'll have to google abit on that. If you encountered a problem saying that there's not enough memory on slot0, try remove some of the removable directories such as office or onenote.
Once you successfully relocated, you will have to use BuildOS to pack it back. You might encounter problems like duplicated files, just delete the one not from OEM folders. after you're done, copy the DUMP folder from TEMP directory and use imgfsfromdump(step1 from second part above).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[19-12-09]
I'm not going to cover xip.bin porting, but i'll mention here that you will need to use xipport to manually port xip for this rom. I've tried some kitchen tools but none working. It's the same for sys porting too, you have to manually replace the files and/or change REG. After which you'll use BUILDOS to build it. Other than that, you'll need an OEM sys/xip. I'ved used D_GA's 28002 and found that his package works pretty well. You can find it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
I'll upload some related tools together so you'll wont have to look everywhere. You can find the upload together with the ROM downloads area.

Nice working!
Thx for blue's hard working on this poor handset.
wish ASUS can fix bugs on drivers and also hope guys like u can countinue Cooking better roms!
Thanks Guy! You're the best!

i'm a beginner chef, so please tell me what's the purpose of recmod? For my understanding, it is only to make files become module? what else does it do?

As I understand it, not only does it make a module into a file, it makes that file use the memory available in SLOT 0 in the ROM. Modules use SLOT 1 memory be default, so I think the browsing folders have issues accessing memory across the two slots
Have a read at Da_G's thread & the Native Kernel post - he explains it a lot better than I do
Good job on the ROM!

ok, now the browser problem and garmin problem solved. although not really sure what i did that made it worked. Now i'm facing another problem, asus utilities, i.e. autorotate can only work once, and then it stoped working the next time ie starts. Autocleaner does not work at all. Any ideas?
Is there anyone testing my rom anyway?
regards,
B
I have test your ROM.It is very good.Sometimes any programs can be down.
Hi Blue00mountain
Thanks for your hard work, downloading.... hunger for P835 rom,
Read form other thread and noted that WM6.5.3 build 28002 was not as stable and fast as 28003 or later, would you consider to move on to newer version, thanks so much in advance.

There's quite some information on the web regarding xip porting. I felt that XIP is quite straight forward, not much problem. The problem I felt so far lies in SYS porting, and a chance to get a good OEM unmodified rom.
And there isnt any emulator to test rom. YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH INTO PHONE TO TRY IT OUT. However, this phone has a nice bootloader, which it checks for rom integrity before flashing. if you rom is incorrect, it doesnt allow to flash at all. Basically it is quite safe unless you messed something other than xip sys itself.
Thx blue!
anyway,the solution of unpack and repack P835 ROM may have another way:
follow steps are from hdubli,and hope can help everyone to Cooking ROMs!

Hi Blue,
Thanks for your details cooking step, I've done all the way to the dump folder, and after repack the dump folder using packagebuilder, I got a "info.txt" file and a "sys" folder, I leave everything untouch and try to repack imgfs, however I always get error as below after runing the command imgfsfromdump:
>imgfsfromdump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin
ImgfsFromDump 2.1rc2
Using compression type 'XPR'!
Sector size is 0x800
Processing "info.txt" as file
Processing "SYS" as module
then error message pop up "ImgfsFromDump.exe has stopped working"
Have you ever got this error? Did I missing something here, please help, thanks.

i found there's some problems when u use the imgfsfromdump tool to make imgfs-new.bin
imgfsfromdump can't proceed the SYS folder,it can only deal with original "DUMP" folder
that means,when u dumped out the "DUMP" folder and use pkgtool(or packagebuilder) proceed it into models(SYS、OEM...ETC),u have to use BuildOS.exe rebuild all the files in SYS OEM.the result of BuildOS's rebuild just like the original "DUMP" folder.then u can use imgfsfromdump to make a imgfs-new.bin
Sorry about my poor English...
well,i still try to show u the way i repack imgfs.bin wihtout change anything.
1st, get the imgfs.bin
2nd,use imgfstodump and get the "dump" folder
3rd,use imgfsfromdmp directly,i get the imgfs-new.bin

ic, but i find that the xip size should be ~3200kb, is it just omit it during compling the xip?
In addition, do you mean it is just simply that just using Da_G's build with Da_G's MSXIPKernel + initflashfiles.dat and original P835 OEMXIPKERNEL is ok?
Sorry for my question because I know less on the OS complie, thanks

i don't think the XIP size should be 3200kb,anyway,in the Traditional Chinese version Rom,the size of XIP is more than 4200kb.
based on my experience, you dont need to have an exact same size for xip.bin. not sure if it will cause any problem but It will start anyway.
regarding your repacking dump question, the proper sequence i think is:
imgfstodump-->packagebuilder-->greloc-->buildos-->imgfsfromdump = imgfs-new.bin

Since I saw the p835abisplit2 creator starkwong said that (若要修改 XIP，請確保重新嵌入 nb0 前的 XIP 大小是跟原來的相同，否則刷機後會開機失敗)
-> if modifying XIP, please ensure the re-embedding nb0 XIP size is same as original XIP size, otherwise it may cause turn-on (mobile) failure after flashing.
If it is ok, that's great
