6.5 21159 hangs on welcome screen. - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can anyone give me some insight on this problem. I am porting 21159 to the Treo 700wx, and it keeps stopping on the WM 6.5 startup screen. I can turn off/on the display, but it never progress onto screen calibration or anything else.
I have replaced the gwes.exe file in order to get the rom to boot, as well as wincenls_wwe, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment, I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
86 views so far, and no replies. That can't be good...

I think I might need a gwes.exe for 240x240 screen on a 211xx build. Does anyone have one?

Any progress?

Nope. No responses. I did find a 6.5 rom for the treo 750, but they removed all of the dsm files, so I can't port it. I have to try to manual piece it back together.

This is really a good build, but believe me that stabilniejszy is 21,109, this is fast

stuck at boot screen usually because of
1. wrong xip porting
2. wrong wince_nls
that is what i am facing now also

i think all of the SYS 21159 floating around have ConfettiCore package inside, so u can try any. i thought it was useless, so deleted it. but it lead to the problem mentioned above. in addition to that, i had to use TOuchFLO OEM package also of my device which i deleted coz i wanted to use M$ default touchflo.

Already tried this. Both are correct. It's not hangs on the boot screen. It's hanging on the welcome screen. Well it's not exactly hanging. I can still power it on and off. I still get the press the middle button to unlock thing. I can turn the radio on and off. It just never moves on from the welcome screen.

I pieced some of the 750 rom into my SYS. I noticed they had modified some of the .cpr files for 240x240, so I included those as well. Flashing now, we'll see what happens.
Update: Same problem. It stops at the welcome screen.

Tryed using my existing .rom folder, and shell32.dll and shellres.dll. Still no luck.

same problem since 21xxx builds with welcome-center
I'am a german rom-cooker for glofiish m800-device.
i work since over one week on windows mobile 6.5.
I'am not success today.
The Problem is:
- No Calibration (Welcome.lnk) is launched by initflashfiles.dat
but in the file the entry is included
the biggest problem, becouse the device is unusable
- The Startmenu is wrong, only a white screen open. (very small) no solution with gwes.exe from wm61 20924 sys.
- the grey taskbar on the today-screen
i have replaced gwes.exe from working windows mobile 6.1 sys 20924
i have changed shell.exe and shellres32.dll in shell-directory from sys
to change user.hv and default.hv from metadata
to delete user.hv and default.hv from metadata
to replace folder for shell
to replace folder for phone
to replace folder for redist.
to include wince.nls in sys-folder too
The wince.nls is in my xip (rom-directory) (my kitchen need the extracted version of xip.bin)
I don't know what the problem is.
I have ported XIP 21159 from Diamond, from TouchPro, from glofiish m700, from glofiish m500 and much more. I'am sure i use actually an VGA-XIP (from Diamond, 1.post in this Thread)
but i don't know which version this is (21139 or 21159 ???)
all the same problem.
i use my kitchen based on windows mobile 6.1 and included the g'reloc.exe from WM65 Kitchen (forwarder) and the wmreloc.exe.
since my kitchen is ready for wm65. all works great by compiling the new temp.dat (the flash-file for glofiish devices)
I read i must use the same sources for XIP and SYS !!!
But what are the same Sources ???
Can anyone send me an working 21159 XIP for VGA ???
When i try to port "Diamond Payload 21159" from XDA-Developers with Xipport and Xipporterex the xip is ok, but when i insert in my kitchen, the prog "buildos" stop their working, nothing happens in command-window.
So i'am very pleasent when you can send me an working source 21159 SYS for VGA and an working Source 21159 XIP for VGA...
i have big problem with windows mobile 6.5
acutally i try windows mobile 6.1 21114 there are the same problem.
the problem is, after os-logo no calibration screen come.
big problems to call "welcome.lnk"
only whenn i insert in wrong path to welcome.lnk the today-screen display ???
do you know this bug ???
here is the rgu of the welcome-center, i think it's not compatible with m800 ???
is this welcome-center new in the 21xxx-builds ???
over one week and no succed with wm65.
at the moment the same problems with wm61 21115

[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?

Search for and download a tool called G'reloc.
A common issue with ported OS builds is that they fail to boot due to improperly coded/placed files. G'reloc will fix this for you. Just run it right before cooking, and then once compiled and flashed, your ROM should boot fine.
*You will need to find the correct codes for G'reloc and a Diamond ROM. I have only used this tool on the Kaiser, so I cannot tell you what they are.

I tried using a newer BuildOS for the Kaiser that included G'reloc, and it never worked properly. I would run G'reloc on it's own, and then uncheck the box to run it as part of BuildOS.
If those values are auto filled in for you, then give it a shot with them. Worst case, the phone still doesn't boot.

How exactly did you translate the 96.DPI files?
Safe yourself the headaches and use the Diamond 1.96 as a base.
That would give you all the SYS 192 dpi files you need.
Are you making the ROM true 0406?
Or just translating or renaming the 0409.mui files?

HI
For port this os build i've made this:
first try to port only the xip
Delete folder from your old working kitchen:
MSXIPKernel
MSXIPKernelLTK
AND OEMXIPKernel if exist
Delete your old OS.NB in ROM folder of your kitchen
Now you need to Extract OS.NB From a diamond ROM 20924 protected or not !
(My rom for exemple)
take the 20924 OS.NB in your ROM folder
then just cook with your old sys and oem folder without the folder mentioned on top. flash & verify xip version.
if this work ,change your sys with the 20924 you have
but keep some files from your old working sys
if i have a good memory i've keep this:
.ROM folder
.VM folder
.Metadata folder
.hd.dll folder
.osaxst0.dll folder
.gwes.exe folder
possible some other files...
if you have Greloc error replace files mentioned in error
try this.
ask if you need help

Hi there, trust me. I have looked the thread many times ..
Anyway, i got an update.
I have get the phone to boot, with the orginal OS & OSFILES.. Now i just need to find what files i need to have, to get it boot..
But i still got a bug, when it boot, touchflo3d won't start, it just skips. ?
The problem you are facing might be (99%) because of improper XIP porting. Just for suggestion, go through my XIP porting guide (in my signature) and try again with a working 20924 XIP (if you cant find one then I'll up the xip.bin from which I ported and am using)
Using original OS folder would not qualify as SYS porting If you check the SYS build no, you will see the original no and not the ported build

anything new about an issue, I try to port build 20757 from BlackStone and I'm facing the same problem too : replacing SYS only doesn't boot

[Q] Help porting SYS to new rom.

Need help porting sys folder..
I've successfully ported XIP to 20757 and now i've been trying to port the sys build folder 20757 and up, from multiple roms, such as the xperia x1 roms, the blackstone roms, and other's from the site.
But all of my attempts has fail, so was hoping someone could tell me what im doing wrong.
First sys attempt i tried was;
How to port a SYS folder
Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389772
Second i tired, to port it from a thread on the kaiser forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437264
and third i tried this following guide from the elf forms, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379598
so for short
1. made 1 folder for old sys, and 1 for new system with the build number
2. copy .vm .rom WinCENLS_WWE, shell/shellresand shell/shell32 folder, with my already ported XIP
3. swap out the res folder like 800 and 640 ones for the diamond, (where ever it is needed to port the rom)
4. then ran g'reloc
so yeah finally when i tried all this, form the guide, it doesnt work
What about the easiest way?
Take a look here:

Ervius's tool is to port XIP
To port SYS is the easiest porting Simply run Greloc on old SYS and note all the values. Then run Greloc on new SYS and change the values as per old SYS. No replacement needed, no swapping required
Simple!

I thought that to but every time i tried to port the Blacstone sys and Greloc
the rom doesnt boot, I have tried many times and allways the same result.
havent test for a wile, the xip port I get whit your exellent manual xip port but not the sys, so now I have a rom os 20757 Build 19665
have you tried replacing all except the Metadata folder ?
for your XIP which is the base used 1.93, 1.96, 1.97 ?
I have tried the xiportereex tool but some modules are missing, so I tryied to add it by myself, it boot but sometime touch screen doesn't responde at first tap, very strange, I have also a pb with default ringtone witch is not the one it should be by mxipupdate
hi
thank you for your reply everyone but several attempts trying you methods but none has worked ; ;
UPDATE; i give up trying to port sys build, thnx for you help everyone.
Same problem for me, if I try all these method in order to port the sys 20764 ( blackstone) to me ELF, the phone don't boot :-(
if the problem is running poutlook, please check if you have custsat.dll in your rom.
if removed, poutlook won't run.
This is the sam exact problem i'm running into. I can't just not port the SYS because the XIP i'm using opens the windows in a tiny little corner in the top left hand corner. Has anyone figured out how to actually port the SYS since none of the tutorials seem to work.
Hi All,
Try this:
1. Copy all modules and dsm ONLY from these few folders (BaseApps, Shell, Phone, PhoneRedist and Redist) from new SYS to your old SYS folder. No need copy ***_DPI_*** (images), ***_0409 / ***_0804 (language files) and the rgu because they never change even how high the build number goes
2. Copy gwes.exe from new build OS folder to your OS folder (if you don't want to get small little window on the top left corner)
3. g'reloc
4. Cook
Good luck !

In fact, you can take the rest of the OS folder too, with the exception of the rgu and ossvcs

I had this problem when i was porting the Touch HD ROM to the Xperia X1 and thats wvga to wvga. I honestly thought porting the SYS would be the easy part but the SYS is why my phone doesn't boot up it just sits there

Ye I thought that sys is the easy part I got so many sys port that the rom doesnt boot. Now i get 2 in a row 21109 and 21014 sudden and If I remember right I have allways done the same way
Thats the one that i'm working on now. I'm trying to port the 21109 from the touch pro to the xperia but i can't get it to work. Can u give me any tips?

Maybe you should post in the X-Peria ROM dev. forum!?
I have but as we all know the xperia doesn't get as much attention as to the full blown htc devices. I figure that the porting method should be about the same with the exception of changing some things based on resolution. Am i wrong?
Have you deleted some folders from official HD SYS??
If yes, notice that the rom doesn't boot without SqlCeMobile and SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409 folders. I'm speaking from my experience with HD.
And I remember I've ported these official builds to Toshiba G900 without problems. Then, make attention to these things too.
And control if into your original SYS, you have some different folders in comparison to the new SYS.
Another thing, Ervius xipporterex rev-35, deletes some things from xip, but it works perfect in that way. The only thing you have to notice, is that it deletes WinCENLS_WWE from xip, then you have to add it into SYS folder.
@Bxsteez,
chek your 21109 SYS, and change mxip_system.vol(into Shell), with your original and see if mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml is into Base_DPI_192 folder, if not, copy your original one there. Change MobileCalculator.exe into baseapps folder too.
Just gave this a shot and nothing works again.... I can't even port the XIP and use the standard SYS and get it to boot. I wonder if i'm using a some corrupted build of 21109. Can someone point me in the direction of where to get OS CE 21109 and 21109 build?
Search on ppcgeeks the calkulins kitchen for diamond, then extract the xip from os.nb.payload and use that to port, worked for me with ervius xipporterex-35.
And make those changes into SYS folder, they are needed to boot properly.

Kitchen Problem - buildxip error

So, I set up my own kitchen based on the EasyPortOven and Bepes last WM6.1 Kitchen, added newer BuildOS and use it now with the Build 21215 SYS of xperia x1 with QVGA files and XIP of a Kaiser.
My problem is, that everything runs fine, until it comes to the point where it starts buildxip.
I just don't understand it.
Maybe somebody could have a look on it?

Solution for Error about RadioButton1...
Make sure you have a Create_ROM_for_Hermes.bat inside your 'Tools' Folder...
User Search menu (upper right) and look for Ervius Kitchen batch files... or
use ivan's or josh's kitchen tools...
OK, this is working now. Now Portxip.exe is crashing -.-
Tools Folder
Remove your tools folder and replace it with this one...
link
and Add this folder to your kitchen to... this folder is where the image of your New ROM will be created...link2
G'Reloc says I/O error 105 -.-
oh man this is annoying xD
thx for your help bro =)
I just don't get it, buildxip is crashing all the time...
I'll upload my kitchen here, maybe you could have a look on it?
try to replace your xip... or your OS.nb.payload
i've downloaded your kitchen and seems that there are too many problems ...
Try reading this first... especially the part wherein you need to study RAM allocation ...

Samsung SGH-i780 (and any other WM device for that matter!): Learn how to cook ROMS

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 -
http://i780romdev.blogspot.com
Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers
San
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 !!!

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
[Missing Manifests]
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\45116509-e364-4775-9098-c25f0b1fbac2.dsm

are these important dsm files?
2. when i press build packages it gives this error:
not found: select .os file to extract XIP
and i extract xip file using osbntool as xip.bin
any solutions for both of these?

Win32/TrojanDownloader.Zlob.NBP
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
