Well hello!
The tutorial below is quite handy and if you ever want to restore to Stock ROM (for whatever reason) you can do it really easily. I decided to write this down since I've seen quite a few people having problems restoring the Stock ROM from the RUU or PG76IMG.zip. Here we go!
Requirements:
A Rooted Phone
ClockWorkMod or any other recovery
dsixda's kitchen (Tutorial to set it up is here
The RUU/PG76IMG.zip of the Stock ROM you need.
About dsixda's kitchen, I suggest you go for the "Cygwin" method, as that's what I'm going to go with. VirtualBox is good too, but it takes too much RAM.
If you have the PG76IMG:
Extract the system.img and boot.img.
If you have the RUU:
Run the RUU till the "I Acknowledge, etc. etc" screen comes.
Start Task Manager.
Hit the processes tab.
Find ARUWizard.exe. Right click and go to location.
You will see a zip called rom.zip. Open it up and extract system.img and boot.img from it.
Copy the two .img files to your kitchen's img_files folder.
Now, open up Cygwin and navigate into the kitchen folder like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will see a list of options there like this:
Type 1 to create a working folder from the two .img's.
OPTIONAL:
You can try out the other options like Root, Zip Aligning,etc. in the kitchen for your Stock ROM if you want. But if you're restoring back to it for Warranty Purposes, then I suggest you don't.
Once the working folder is created, type 99 and let the kitchen create the flashable zip for you.
Put the zip onto your SD Card and flash away!

You can customize phone looks here
Note: to wildfire s euro ROM users don't use icons cause it'll come out very large, so always backup your systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk before flashing, if you wanna test. other roms is fine to use I tested WWE asia rom is OK.
How to use the kitchen
1. Go to the Kitchen page http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
2. Browse through the available mods and choose what you want (don't forget to press Generate preview if there is such a button)
3. Go to the file upload section and upload the required files.
Files you need to upload:
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
NOTE : Font packs and boot animation do not require files to be uploaded. If you choose only those mods then you get a download without a queue.
4. Go to the summary section. All chosen mods must have a green background. If there is a mod in red background it means you didn’t finish it.
Press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember the UOT file name (your order number).
6. Go to the Pickup page http://uot.dakra.lt/pickup/ and wait for your file to appear (it can take from 5min to 1hr or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into recovery
9. Flash UOT zip
10. Reboot phone
PS. Always choose mdpi
Some example of what I cooked:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: the files I uploaded here is from asia ROM. don't flash file below if you are in other ROM.

Hey guys,
I've decided I've had enough of not knowing anything of cooking up a ROM, so, for my first project I've decided to make a ROM from the latest HTC_WWE RUU. Lots of people have been asking for a completely stock ROM without extras and not ruining the recovery and root access etc. at the same time. If it's good, I'll publish it . I've copied and extracted the rom.zip from the %TEMP% folder in Windows, and have found the following files. But extracting the "system.img" file doesn't work - it gives me the following error using 7zip:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I'm wondering how to find the flashable-zip like folder structure that you get inside a ROM. E.g with /data, /system, /lib, /mnt, /proc etc. Then I will add root permissions and remove the recovery image. How can I find this structure? These are the only files inside the rom.zip:
Anyone have an idea of how to get this? I've looked in many places and just can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance
look for a guide on using unyaffs, pretty sure I have it in my dropbox if you can't find it using Google.
I think you just extract the unyaffs zip into a folder then drag n drop the system.img onto it. not sure though its been a while.

Thanks a heap Scratch! If only I didn't have Norton Security, it wouldn't keep thinking the file was a virus!

Hi i think you are waiting out for the tut on how to use
its not very difficult ,,.. I had already updated the script to set for p350 (ldpi devices too)
So what you need :-
1. My scripts ( http://www.mediafire.com/?oi092j9yb0ym1w2 )
2. A rom (to apply)
3. My small tool to zipalign ( http://www.mediafire.com/?45a7ue259r4j80t )
4. A thinking brain and patience to implement
STEP#1
First of all you need to download the script here :- http://www.mediafire.com/?oi092j9yb0ym1w2
After the download just extract them to desktop with any new folder like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and extract into that folder and you can see META-INF and installbusybox ... (even we have busy box with roms its a option with aroma so i gave them)
STEP#2
Any rom which you like to do work extract them at same place like this in pic
and here get into the rom folder and delete the META_INF file as in pic
STEP#3
Now copy the scripts of mine to the place of the rom like this
If you need any edits do it as per your rom
STEP#4
Now need to zip the rom you made/edited follow up the pics
Name the rom as you like ....
STEP#5
DOWNLOAD THIS FILE I HAD CREATED THIS FOR EASY SIGN WILL BE USED FOR YOU PEOPLE :- http://www.mediafire.com/?45a7ue259r4j80t
Copy to the same place and extract them like in pic
Now copy the zip file you got zipped into the tools folder to zipalign like this
NOTE :- YOU NEED TO PLACE ONLY ONE ZIP IN IT.... IF YOU PLACE MORE ZIP FILES IT DONT SIGN ALL AT ONCE
STEP#6
Double click on the zip_signer it will automatically sign up and give you a file named as update-finished.zip like in pic
Congratulations now you are done!!!!! now ready to flash via recovery ,..... copy to sd and flash via recovery
ENJOY !!!!!!
Dont forget to hit thanks as i spared a lot of time to create and to write scripts

Yea! thnks!
I recently did this for the E4GT and have been asked to do it here as well.
I've received a TON of PM's and emails asking how to do this and I've decided to do a write-up for everyone. Now to start off, this does not automatically make you a Super Duper Developer, this does not show you how to make your own TAR ROMs, nor does it show you how to make your own Odin One-Clicks. What it does do is show you how to pull files from those stock leaked/official ROMs so that you can proceed to make yourself into a Super Duper Developer!
In essence if the Developer knows what they are doing they could use this method to extract all the files from the build and could then add them to a ZIP and have a stock odexed ROM within minutes and do it all through Windows! Depending on time I may or may not do a tutorial on that as well...
So let's begin!
We've all seen those pesky TAR.MD5 packages that we can flash through Odin. How often have you wanted to look inside them and see what is inside before flashing? There are several ways to do it and the most common answer requires Linux and Dsixda's Kitchen utility. This tutorial gives you the ability to do that through Windows and without having to extract the full ROM. These instructions are specific to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (all variants) but can be used on most Samsung Galaxy phones.
Each TAR.MD5 release contains multiple files. Each of these files corresponds to a specific partition on your device. These files are formatted to be mounted by your device but not by a computer. We will be converting them from a .img.ext4 partition type to an ext4.img type partition so we can mount them and read them through Windows. For this tutorial we will be opening up the system.img.ext4 (the system files partition).
Before you dive in there are a few things you'll need.
- A PC running Windows.
- A stock TAR.MD5 release. Several are available at www.rwilco12.com.
- DiskInternals Linux Reader (must be installed on the Windows PC). You can download DiskInternals Linux Reader here.
- SGS2toEXT4 Utility available here. *Be sure to extract the JAR file from the ZIP archive.
- 7-Zip available here.
For the rest of the tutorial please visit my site: www.rwilco12.com
Enjoy!

OK I have a zip of a windows transiting animation zip... When I open it it says folders are res/anim and then there are a bunch of files in it... I'd like to change the files out so I can use the other transition...I tried zip themer and that did not work...what I am asking is does anyone know where this set of files/folder is located within system? If not any way I could get this to flash properly?

It is in the framework-res.apk (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).
You can either modify the framework-res.apk manually and use adb to push it back, or make an update.zip. You alternatively could make a zipthemer file and use it to flash it.

Ok the first idea you have honestly is way out of my league lol...alternatively I don't know how to turn it into a zip theme file...do you know more about that? I don't know much about code at all so if you do please dumb it down

You could use rom toolbox lite (assuming you're rooted). I use it for animations and fonts when I'm not on sourcery rom.
