[12-Dec.08]XIP:20764/20940 & SYS:20940 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Here is XIP Porting guide:
[TUT] Manual Full XIP Porting (& MANY MORE TUTORIALS) [ONLINE]
Special thanks ababrekar for writing it..
I've got 20940 sys!!
Rayfile/fs2you share is available,but it's mixed with lots of oems(A Full Hermes RomKitchen)
Rapidshare.de share address is available
XIP :
20940_xip_MSOUT
20764_xip_MSOUT
SYS:
Hermes_20940_RomKitchen
20940_SYS_Lang0804_dpi96_Included

btxakita, you need Blackstone XIP, or what? If yes - go there and download whatever you want. BTW from my private experience - 20931 core is much faster and works better than 20764. I used both XIPs for some time (Blackstone - for a week, 20931 one - for more). But it's up to you....

Thanks for your advise,I use my pharos for months...
But now I'm still waiting for Touch HD come to china...
I'm a chinese,so my english is poor
Actually I've got a 20940 xip and run it on my HTC Pharos..
Not so good...
Then,I just want to how do you think of 20940 xip?
& How do you know t2home,are you a chinese?
em..I usually go there and xbeta...

btxakita
I already tried 20940 and I also don't like it very much. It works for me but I did not find any advantages in comparison with 20931. It's even a bit slower for me. And some dlls missing...
Now - I'm not Chinese .... I am Russian speaker but not from Russia. And that's my problem with xbeta - I cannot make normal registration there so I can only look through the news with Google translator - but I can download nothing there.... I prefer t2home because they give an opportunity to download without registering....

That's all right...
thx for talking to me
When I get newer xip or sys
I'll post them here...
I found that chinese forum always get the newest edition...
btw where can I find latest sys or xip files except xda/ppckitchen.org(I just know these..)

And where SYS 20940, everywhere is only XIP, it is strange. Whence got XIP?

It's said that 20940 sys is very slow...
No one wanna use it ,so no one post it...

So what's a point of uploading XIP? Maybe you will upload SYS and everyone will test it

What a pity
I also have no chance to use 20940 sys
post xip just for sharing..

BTW it's not bad to make the topick "sticky" and post here the news about XIPs And SYSs....

But I can just get CHS sys files
The 0409 or other languages are your own task..
And maybe just have it just for 96dpi 240*320(QVGA)
If you need dpi192 you should use the same files from other SYS instead..

btxakita,
language and DPI does not matter if there is a possibility, upload SYS 20940 (or 20993 )

btxakita just do that - the rest - upon us!!! You see - Alex and me are here - and waiting
And don't look at the signature of Alex - I know the guy - he will use the new build anyway!!!! He-He... Alex - am I right?

I really don't have sys20940
and the 20993 is a copy from sb
But he doesn't allow me to post it..
I'm sorry,um..In my opinion,it maybe a hex one..
somebody tell me that is possible to have aku1.6.0 around 2009.01.01
so,please just wait for it...
it won't be so long to get 1.6.0...

C'mon btxakita, just upload it somewhere... or send..... i mean 20993....
[email protected]
Did first step? Do the next!!!! We're brothers!!!!

So lovely
I'll try to get it..
But 20993 I won't let it out
I've just called my friend to make sure if I can post it here(The guy give me 20993sys)
He said that he just made it for fun...it's a hex...just for joking me...
But I'm Sure not so long I'll get newer sys here..I promise..
sorry to tell you that's really a hex version
I'm very sad now...because I have been joked for a week...

Thanx in advance, bro!!!!!

Glad to be your brother..hei hei..
I will post the newest SYS files here once it is out..

i dont get it
why do you post msxip modules only it would be really apreciated if you could post the real full XIP.bin
or how should i know that the files are build 20764 as the build are coded in dsm.?
or is there any other way to check these files ?
the xip from t2home 20764 MSXIPKERNEL but MSXIPKERNELTK is 20757
oh i have the sys 20764 from t2home atached is the sys version build report

Because 20764&20757 are also aku1.4.3
So Microsoft have it done like this...
And it is a real 20764 xip...
if i hex the .dsm then pack it to xip.bin...
it can help nothing...
I won't post fake xip or sys here...

[Dev Topic] Fixing a 19900 build kitchen.

Hi all,
I've managed to find a dump of build 19900, however I haven't managed to make a working ROM out of it as yet. I'm hoping to find a way to get it working with bepe's kitchen tools - therefore removing the reliance on a custom chinese binary to build these ROMs.
I believe this ROM is big storage, so I'd like to make available a non big storage version as well for everyone to benefit.
Any takers to help out?

Will take a look at it dude, aint got a load of time at the mo though. Might have a quick PM session and see if theres a WWE version we cna use.
Have you guys tried PM'ing Dvha79_ddt? I'm not much help on cooking but i'll try and suggest anything
Good luck guys.
Need testers let me know.
I've managed to get the ROM to build using Bepes kitchen, however it doesn't boot. It sits there at a black screen on power on...
This leads me to believe it's part of the XIP that is just wrong.
I've attached what I've extracted from the included os.nb by doing:
nbsplit -hermes os.nb
RomMaster -w 5 os.nb.payload -x -o xip.bin
Run xipport, choose Dump xip.bin
I then deleted os.nb & os.nb.extra.
Then put the XIP dump together as it should be (i think) for bepe's kitchens.
Not 100% sure where to go from here...
edit: Oh, I've attached the TOOLS directory too - just in case you don't have a copy of Bepes great work.
This is a non big storage modded 19900 xip that works.
I haven't used in a kitchen just yet.
I will have a look at the dump later on.

Hmmm - I've used your XIP - it boots, but same as using the default ROM kitchen tools, it hangs after displaying splash2. I replaced the OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL in OEMDrivers with a non-BS version, in case that was an issue, but still no go...

For now you can try to merge that XIP with the payload from the ROM (without kitchen) and it should boot&work.
Will try to get the romhdr.bin and in fact to rebuild the whole ROM folder and let u know whats happening.
Using Dvha79_ddt 900
I know it's not what you are looking for, but I am using Dvha79_ddt ROM and it is working as well as his 701 which was very fast and rock solid. Would like to help in any way I can as I loved your ROM's apart from the issues. As a noobie where do you find these ROM's in the first place?
A lot of it is hit and miss finding things here and there - like this kitchen that seems to be almost complete, but just doesn't work. A bit of hacking around and it can probably be made to work.
As WM6.1 doesn't exist for the hermes devices, it is always ported from something else - which can lead to weirdness.
Most of it is pot luck, and a lot of knowledge (and I'm missing some in getting this kitchen working )
just a working trick
what I am sure is working (tried it before) is replace the whole ROM folder from new kitchen with your working one and then just slip in the xip.bin into the new payload in a few steps.
Still can't get this working....
I've changed the BuildNB.bat to show the following:
Code:
echo.
CD ROM
..\TOOLS\buildxip.exe -b
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error
del out.bin
copy xip_out.bin out.bin
CD..
This should use your XIP in the ROM, which shows as 3.62.07.Dan - however I still can't get past splash2... Eventually, the backlight goes out, but it doesn't seem to display anything past splash2... Eventually, the screen goes off (power setting). Turning it back on via the power button just gives me a white screen... I'm at a loss to figure out what's happening here.
The OS.nb.payload is the same (non-BS) that I was using from my 10.1 release of my ROM, and the XIP folder contains the same XIP as 10.1 release (Build 19209) - however the XIP version shouldn't matter, as we delete it and merge yours into the OS-new.nb instead...
About the same happened to me and after a re-flash of a good nbh I got some very strange things happening. I could not install any cab. Very weird.
I had to format everything.
Anyway the xip is working if slipped into old rom, but that's not much of a news...
I looked into S00 of FLASHDRV.DLL module in order to convert it, but it does not look like usually.
Maybe that dump is not from a hermes device.
Hrrrm - that is possible, however the site said that it was for Hermes devices... Are you looking at it in the OEMDrivers directory or the XIP?
Can we swap out the FLASHDRV.DLL from a working ROM? I'm pretty sure that isn't tied to a certain build?

I can try to make it work with the XIP from the 19900 version existing on this thread. (actually from there was the xip I uploaded). Could it work? There will be maybe a 409 & 804 conflict?? I have no clue really. Can only try.
I don't believe the XIP is localised, nor are the OEMDrivers. I may be wrong here though. 409 vs 804 should in theory only become an issue when applications that use localisation is involved..
It is definitely not a hermes rom as the kitchen does not accept a hermes payload while other kitchens accept older (different) payloads. Kitchen halts at ImgfsFromNb.
I can not think of something else. I give up on this one.
Hrrrmmm...
What about this:
ftp://user:[email protected]:333/Aikon/Build19900RKXiaoQiao.7z
It weighs in at 145Mb, but it is supposed to be another Hermes 19900 kitchen that I haven't managed to get going either...
The XIP definatly isnt localised at all,
What sort of sizes are you guys getting for the os.nb filesize?

Collection of MUI files for all languages

Hi,
i would like collect MUI files here.
This makes it easier, to create a the new Rom.
The attached Zip contains (more coming later):
AudioManager.exe.0407.mui
Camera.exe.0407.mui
CommManager.exe.0407.MUI
ConnectionSetup.0407.mui
flashresource.dll.0407.mui

Starbase64
I like the idea. Thanks for starting the thread, starbase! Do I have any luck to find a Romanian package?!
Awesome DUDE!!! man cooking is getting easier and easier around here with all these wonderful resourses!!
Good idea 405 mui comming soon
I will put here my CZECH muis later
One thing is that you have to include version used with each mui
like HTC.Album.1.0.1030.720 or every mui with responding dll or exe file
like sys muis from 19212 dont work on new sys 20755 so you have to mix SYS files
BUT GOOD IDEA
Yes! Thanks for sharing those. Although I do not have anything to contribute I just wanted to say that starbase64's post helped narshorn make a better german ROM (a year after starbase64 had the great idea to share).
Thanks again and keep sharing everyone!
keeping alive old threads huh?
watch on dev and hack section there are all lang packages.
anyone can help me to know where i can find MUI files inside the rom??? i have to start add more locals.
cheers
mui files are all over the SYS and OEM folders... you neeed to catch them all.... in fact all the EXT pkgs needs a MUI but not all apps
Check the chef central repository thread with all the langs you want for SYS

WM 6.5 Native Kernel/nk.exe/xip.bin for Hermes

Hi friends!
I think the topic pretty much says it all;
This is a native WM 6.5 Hermes OEMXIPKernel/xip.bin/nk.exe - aware of the new Slot 60/Slot 61 virtual memory layout - what does this mean for you as a chef?
Now you don't have to recmod any modules in \SYS anymore, to port over WM 6.5! And you have 64mb free to convert more files to modules!
But you will need to use a relocation tool that is aware of the new memory layout;
Ervius Visual Kitchen + Bepe's New Kitchen do this with the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" checkbox
There's also a build of "WMReloc" 2.0 floating around that may support this, that would be compatible with the "old style" kitchen (buildos + g'reloc, it would replace g'reloc)

thank you. I have been following your topic for some time and I must admit its way over my head. So do we just not use the \SYS folder anymore? I'm really confused on this.
over my head too... does this mean improved memory performance for 6.5 ROMs on Hermes? Storage or RAM? Could use a RAM boost with most ROMs...
Thanks DA_G u rock! i'll see if i can get it working on my old hermes!
anyone got that new wmreloc kicking around?
Its just a .exe file right?
need somone to flash new nk.exe 6.5 kernal rom
Can someone let me know if it boots?
I'm uploading a rom HERE with new nk.exe from 6.5 kernal
it will be doné uploading in about 5 mins.. i gotta go hit the dentist and get a root canal.. just lemme know if it boots
peace.

OOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!
jajajaja
yeah it sucks!!!! i just went to dentist once.. to have a middle implant to one tooth... what da heck is the worst i ever experiment!
hope this works at the end.
maybe a noob question but how do I add this to my kitchen?
just the xip.bin, or do I need to copy the contents of the OUT folder too?
Search for Manual XIP porting using the search link in my sign!
this is great news! hopefully tai / irfan / joshkoss release a new rom using this!
ok Da_G
Are you saying that the memory could be changed from 64 to 61?
And we could have 3Mb more to use?
Mmmm any link to learn a little more about this... of course and the usage of this.
Ok lets try this baby!
goona redo the kitchen for 21807 with the nk.exe that nurkamol gaves me... oemxipkernel here must do the trick inthe ervius last kitchen just lemme get rid of the big admin folders there! a little confusing... but with a nice master chef ould be posible...
SYS 21807... Josh with my NK.EXE by nurkamol
Xip With this oemkernel and lets see what happend
Edited: first try was a failure! i set all the kitchen with all the 21807 modded of course... The thing i change was... the nk that nurkamol gaves me, and I couldnt find where to place the .ROM folder (it was on the sys, but in new kitchen where to place it?) and set kitchen to Imagestart at 0 PP 6mb not works... then i Add tehe default wincenls of course it was verwrited by OEM and chenge Startimagfs at 340000 and PP to 8mb and not works...
Next attempt...
Dont delete any folder from 21807 and let the xip ported nk by josh...
night!
It works as expected! Thank you very, very much
For others: don't panic, it has 15MB of PP set so you have to change it. btw, implantxip can't do that, you have to do it with osnbtool - or manually
Once again: thank you!
upd.:
for all those who can't get pp right:
Edit your TOOLS\kitchen_build_rom.bat and find the line with implantxip and replace it with those two lines:
Code:
..\TOOLS\osnbtool -ap xip.bin %pp%MB -y
..\TOOLS\implantxip -xip xip.bin -payload OS.nb.payload -imgstart %imgstart% -%uldr% -%nocert%
Of course you have to have osnbtool.exe in your tools directory
Great!
So this kernel works?!!!! we must to check real aku as i red your post on Da_G's kitchen thread... use the lastest MSXIPkernel ... Use the Romhdr and os.nb.payload for any other build cause its special for Hermes... I ask you this cause the OEMxipkernel modules are different, are many more on this kernel by Da_G.
Will try this... wich pp do you use.. 8?
thanks a lot dude! you have wonderfull ideas... my rom boots and its efficient... with some troubles about initflashfiles but works fine, because of your advice there on raphael forum.
I've took from Da_G only nk.exe, ceddk.dll and flashdrv.dll. You have to either take his boot.rgu, too - or ensure you have this line in yours:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader]
"EnableUpperModules"=dword:1

WM6.5 - a plea for a clean/extralight version, pls.!!!

@all,
one may think of wm6.5 what one wants, comparing them roms to wm6.1 they are not my choice, though some nice effects of wm6.5 are rather nice!
I am mainly using my p3300 for tomtom navigation and phone-function in between!
wm6.5 makes tomtom runs by far more zippy, startup is reduced, recalculating an alternative route or correcting an error is done more speedily. In addition i find the graphics somehow to be far more crisp within wm6.5!
..and thats about all i really find more positive, for my usage!
wm6.5 is terrible within changing from tomtom to an incoming call, never mind trying to start an outgoing call...
the worst though is the start menue: absolutely useless to use in any way with your fingers; you always end up opening various other porgrams trying to scroll down the list
In other words:
I would be highly appreciative if someone would cook a wm6.5 alike yues extralight: speedy, stripped, light yet functional in its basics phone and gps!

I'm wanting a clean 6.5 too, but the latest builds are too buggy. I think we M$ is in the process of altering the GUI altogether and the current builds are 'passages'. Maybe we should let M$ do its thing and come out with a build which has proper finger friendly popups rather than horrible enlarged ones of the old 6.1 popups
Other than that, I'd love to cook a clean 6.5, but the ones I cooked (23034 and 23037) are extremely slow to release! If somebody tells me what files I can delete to make it faster......

trying to change the language via:

2- use the swedish OEM and EXT folders
3- use the swedish ROM/Kovsky/"build no."/ folder (OEMXIPKernel), just change the old build numbers to the new build ones

4- use the new build SYS folder, but replace all 0409 folders with swedish ones from the same SYS build or similar build (eg. you can add 23022 swedish files into a 23028 build)

so to say, for me to do it quickly is the way, as i aint sure of what it is supposed to look like, never mind how i am supposed to go about it!
is there a small-stepped howto?
greetz
i have the knowhow but if the kitchen froze at "adding packages" the rom isn't dumpable....so you'll have to find another one...if you can find a rom that you want (doesn't matter if it's dumpabe) i can try to dump and cook it

[DUMP][CHEFS ONLY]Windows 7.8 (8335) SYS dump? I'm to find/build one!

Does anyone have a proper SYS dump of 8335? Most rom developers have taken the malicious step of protecting their roms (while real devs like ultrashot and mwang do not), and I am unable to obtain a proper 8335 SYS dump to create an international build of my SparkW (Verzion Trophy) rom.
This might sound like whining, but after spending hours on end trying to find a unprotected rom to nab a dump out of, I haven't been able to find one (*edit* I found one with almost everything! Just need two more languages!). I'm not going to lie, I'm incredibility disappointed in the number of rom chef's that have "popped out of nowhere" releasing Windows 7.8 roms in an apparent "money grab" while offering no real support in their roms, yet adding protections to not allow anyone to even have a look.
I don't want or need anyone's XIP or OEM, I just want to create a true SYS dump. It's bad enough the only 8335 dump I've found had almost all packages in OEM (for whatever reason), and I had to dig into it to get everything into SYS like it should have been in the first place.
So here it is, I'm releasing my repackaged 0409 (US English) SYS dump for ANYONE to use. This is the same system I use in my XevRev rom for SparkW! I don't know if it contains the font fix (I hope it doesn't, since that should be implemented via different packages to keep things neat anyway).
If anyone wants to help me out my sending me a dump (even an old mixed on one with everything in OEM for some reason) with other languages, or point me in the direction of a rom I can nab them from, I'll try to create a SYS dump for EVERYONE to use, not just those who feel privileged enough to have a dump in their possession. I want to make the best SYS dump possible, and in all my searching, still haven't found one that resembles this.
This dump is setup for use with OSBuilder. Don't ask how to cook this into a rom or install it, PLEASE. This package is intended for rom chefs.
This dump does not contain XIP drivers, as I haven't been able to obtain a dump with XIP drivers integrated (if they were updated at all since 8773).

Figures, after doing this I finally find a rom that isn't protected to pull a full SYS from. It'll take me some time to extract it all and move it all into SYS proper, but expect it by the end of tonight/tomorrow EST.
Okay, I'm uploading a SYS dump that is almost complete! It is only missing Korean and Japanese. If anyone can help me by private messaging where I can get dumps for those in 8835, I can update with as complete 8835 SYS dump as we could possibly get!
Guys, I don't know what SYS do you want to find and what kind of "full unprotected SYS" are you uploading..
The original 8835 came as a set of Canonical updates with full lang pack..... All the things you are trying to dump, cook, upload and download - came from ONE self-made Nokia test rom with 0409 and 0415 included.... With old XIP from mango..... And mango lang packs.... Besides - it's old and has nothing except possibility to make the tiles smaller....
I have look into your dump, and the language packs except 0409 are not in 8835 version! ... whats the difference between the SYS 7.8 pack release since one month and your dump ??

Where is this rom that people keep talking about? I simply packaged up the stuff other devs had and am released. I would rather find a pure dump, but cannot. I can't look at/find stuff people keep talking about and never link to! T_T

I'm not trying to build a combo package! This is only what I've found, since it's been IMPOSSIBLE for me to find an original 8835 dump anywhere. I've google and searched and dug and found NOTHING in these last few weeks. Its because I missed the original release news somewhere along the line, but I cannot find an original SYS dump of 8835 anywhere (even if that dump is just some test rom as AndrewSh points out)!
I asked in several places if anyone could point me in the correct direction and was ignored, so I build these packages in an attempt to find the originals, if they exist. Lord knows that the chefs I have talked too just ignored me when I asked where they obtained their 8835 builds.
If anyone can link me to this test rom, cab updates (yeah, I doubt that's likely), or whatever it is that people got their 8835 SYS files from, that's all I want! I've exhausted the power of google to do so on my own!
I just want to create 8835 as a SYS dump, because its just silly how the chefs I've attempted to contact horde a SYS build to themselves for self-gain. If its only available with 8335 language packs in 0409 and 0415, so be it. Even if the build isn't complete... just.. whatever there is! Please help me find it!

I would love to upload and give you a link to the original 8835, but unfortunately I deleted it from my PC at the end of July. Sorry.
