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.

Thanks ervius! you are truly "mythical". I`ll read all with much attention tomorrow, now i`m seat in one park bench to 5 meters from the sea.....
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:

so, you have to install also java virtual machine... with this utilities in not necessary...
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?

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.

Hi all
I'm cooking my own rom using Core Pro Kitchen, so far it's going OK.
I read most of this forum and the WiKi, but still have a couple of questions
first:
Do we really need .rgu files in imgfs? AFAIK they are only used to build .hv files.
I tried to delete theese from \temp\dump before creating OS.nb (after running BuildOS), and the ROM works, at least I don't see any drawbacks.
second:
I'm cooking my own custom package into the rom and need all the files in it to be impossible to modify/delete. All files in the package have +r +s +h attributes set, but I'm sill able to modify them on device.
It seems like the modified file is created "above" the ROM one (sort of copy-on-write), because when I use TotalCommander to delete it, it just reverts to the original file from ROM. Is there anyway to make a file completely unmodifiable? Put it in XIP? do I have to rebuild any of three .dsm files in XIP if add my file there?
The file is about 1-2kb
Any ideas?
Thanks, Serge
Does anyone know how to make custom roms for devices like the Excalibur or other Smartphones. I want to remove a lot of the clutter and add some applications of my own.
JAmerican
Not there yet AFAIK.
The closest I have gotten is extracting the rom components and mixing them. I took the HTC Splash, the HTC Radio, and the T-Mobile OS; made a custom ruu and flashed successfully. Now my Dash shows HTC Screen when it boots and I have the updated Radio. I managed to dump the T-Mobile OS, but haven't been able to rebuild. HTCRT by Dark Simpson will create the ruu_signed.nbh for use with the uspl though. NBHEXTRACT will break the nbh into its components. Tried the HYPERCORE tools, that's how I got the dump of the OS, but cannot do the xip parts with these tools for some reason. PKG Tool works. Have the OEM and SYS folders, but XIP comes up empty.
This is something I hope to see... I mean why even bother with getting the HTC unbranded version if we can remove all the clutter ourselves?

Bug fixes! Even if you build a custom rom, you would want to start with the latest available OS to get in on whatever bug fixes have been added. Then you would rip it apart and add/remove whatever you wanted. Sometimes the new OS would also have added/improved features, but the bug fixes is the main one.

Thanks for the insight. I reached as for as extracting the .NBH into .NB files with OS, GSM etc. How do you extract these. The PKG Tool didn't work for me and the Hypercore tools aren't working right either.

Hey all,
I was able to downgrade to WM5 and I am starting to understand a few things regarding ROM building but I still don't know how to edit the Windows.nb or OS.nb file. Can anyone offer suggestions. I am trying to optimize it so that there is less clutter.
JAmerican
I was able to extract the the OS.nb before and edit it, but unfortunately, it was not fully extracted as i was hoping, at first i thought i was able to fully extract it, but when i tried to reflash again the OS, it was flashed normally but not as functional as normal one, many were not included, the Start Menu seems to be incomplete, no keypad lock, no quickapp etc... so i came up with a conclusion that it was not fully extracted..even the initflashfiles.dat were not present on the dumped files, i thought that file was the only one missing and i tried to manually copy it from /Windows/ directory and put it on the dumped files folder..but it wasn't a success.
Anyone successful to fully extract the OS? I'm slowly compiling a kitchen for Excalibur and the full extraction of the OS is only the missing part of the kitchen and i'm stuck with it. Once it is up and found a solution, then we can come up with cooked roms for Excalibur.

Cool. I went back to WM5 to see if it was more efficient but with all the lack of features (email instant search, alpha-dialing, file syncing, etc.) It was not worth it. I went back to WM6. I hope we can get some cook ROMS soon. I really want more usable RAM. Could you give me the exact steps you used to extract the ROM? I tried HyperCore but it doesn't work for me for some reason.

Try this mate:
Aserg's Imgfs Tools, attached on THIS thread
Place OS.nb on the same folder then execute !UI_wwe.cmd
Choose P - Unpack OS.nb <for Herald-Prophet> to dump-folder
the ROM will be dumped on the "dump" folder, but i don't think it's a complete dump, if there's anyone knows how to do the complete dump, please share

Thanks for sharing! I was finally able to dump it. Now to see if I can mess around and get it to build! Wish me luck .

You can easily build it again, but the question again is, are the files on the dump folder complete? i wish you luck mate! keep us posted.

I deleted some files from the ROM and rebuilt it but it was in .NBA format. I don't remember exactly what I did but I think I renamed the file to .NB and made a .NBH file out of it. Then Flashed my device. I got as far as the WM screen and was stuck there. I reflashed with the Standard WM6 ROM from T-Mobile. .
I'll try some more messing around. I really want to get some cooked roms for Smartphone edition.
JAmerican
Your right about files missing. I was able to extract the ROM and its packages and get two folders (ROM and SYS) along with other packages. The program I used (Package Tool) states that I am missing the following files:
[Missing Files]
SYS\MSXIPKernel
MODULE: busenum.dll
MODULE: cachefilt.dll
MODULE: certmod.dll
MODULE: coredll.dll
MODULE: device.exe
MODULE: devmgr.dll
MODULE: diskcache.dll
MODULE: encfilt.dll
MODULE: fatfsd.dll
MODULE: fatutil.dll
MODULE: filesys.exe
MODULE: fsdmgr.dll
MODULE: fsreplxfilt.dll
MODULE: hd.dll
MODULE: imgfs.dll
MODULE: mspart.dll
MODULE: osaxst0.dll
MODULE: pm.dll
MODULE: regenum.dll
SYS\WinCENLS_WWE
File: wince.nls
OEM\LangDB
File: initflashfiles.dat
File: mxip_lang.vol
OEM\OEMXIPKERNEL
File: boot.hv
File: boot.rgu
MODULE: cecompr.dll
MODULE: ceddk.dll
MODULE: HtcFsdspy.dll
File: mxip_initdb.vol
MODULE: nk.exe
MODULE: ONDisk.dll
and these files are in the Windows folder as well as other locations on my device. The only problem is that the device denies me access to these files. Is there a way to access these DLLs with a powerful file manager. I tried Resco and Total Commander to no avail. Anyway to trick the device into allowing me to copy these files?
Thanks.

I believe there is a need for a simple ROM cooking procedure on devices such as Excalibur and Vox. I'm thinking of a "Norton Ghost" procedure to backup and restore the entire OS and User Filesystem partitions.
The ROM cook procedure would then be something like this:
1. customize the device (all changes stored on device memory of course)
2. backup OS partition (using special USPL)
3. backup User File System (using special USPL)
And a user would just do this:
1. restore OS partition (using RUU)
2. restore User File System (using RUU)
3. personalize device
Does that sound acceptable?
Ok so I was able to extract the T-Mobile WM6 ROM, I was able to use the Package Tool to get it seperated into a SYS and OEM folder. I deleted things like Live Messenger and Windows Live. I put the updated version of Live Search in ROM. I only added one other application, CeleTask. I didn't want to put too much work into tweaking this thing and find it not working. I am downloading the CreateOS.exe and CreateROM.bat files and will try to compile this thing. Wish me luck.

Hey friend. I know this is not appropriate place to post this, but since you know my situation on the wifi of my phone. Would it be possible to put a working reverse flash of a tmobile dash onto mine and fix the wifi. I have tried everything. And you have been very helpful and it is much appreciated.
keep up the progress guys, i can't wait to try some of the cooked roms from users on this site
Good luck, i can't wait either....
Hey guys,
I used a tool to try and convert my unpacked ROM back to a packed (one folder ROM) and it deleted all my progress. Go figure. So I have to basically start all over again. This time though, instead of making all the changes. I am just going to remove like myFaves, update LiveSearch and add one of my own applications as well as one of my favorite applications and see if I can flash my Dash with it.
Somewhat but its my fault for not backing up.
JAmerican
(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.

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.
see here if you do not know how to dump roms.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
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

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.

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!

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
