jas probably used tadizos script after using the koch, you cant open tadizo images with the koch at the moment... but could you check if you can open another NB?

Don't know whats going on????

Koch has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

:-(

[warrio]

Can anybody tell me what is the exactly procedure and which tool I must to use to change language or create different language to wm6 rom? I read several pages of the wiki but I'm still confused...:(
Thanxxxx

[bernd.k]

Hi dutty,

thanks again for this new releas of your rom koch. But I have a problem.
1. when i open a rom, and only compile it to a new, and than flash it to my trion, it works.
2. when i open a rom, and edit the registry and compile it, it works
3. but when i open a rom, and open the initflashfiles.dat by clicking edit, and only say ok, so that the koch put it new into the rom, it doesn't boot....
I also tried to make a simple folder in the initflashfiles.dat, but it doesn't boot...
can you tell me whats the problem? I always thought that i would be to stupid to make my own rom with the programs i like, but after that test, it seems to be a problem in rom koch compiling the initflashfiles.dat...
would be nice if you could check it, and tell me what i make wrong!
thank you.

sorry to say that. but thats a useless post, without any information on what happend/what caused it.

i dont understand. you can open the same rom with an earlier version of the koch? can you upload that rom and give me the link so i can debug it?

[chymmylt]

you can use it for any device and its future proof.

Too much to hope that when you say any device you mean the StrTrk too? :)

Great work - can't wait to get a chance to open it up and start playin! :)

yeah it should work too.. you just have to enable external device support/scripting and adjust the buildscript to your needs.

have to talk to u about the KOCH

Anything new? Can't beleave that I'm the only one having problems with initflashfiles.dat... Was anybody able to create a rom with modified initflashfiles.dat with bootet???

[chymmylt]

yeah it should work too.. you just have to enable external device support/scripting and adjust the buildscript to your needs.

First I'm guessing that this is the wrong thread for really discussing this (since this is a StrTrk rom and this is the Hermes forum) and much further discussion should probably take place over there.

However that said, quick follow up, I loaded up the rom within, NBH -> NB gave me 7 files G3IPL.nb, G4IPL.nb, Herm_ExtRom.nb, PrimarySplash.nb, Radio.nb, SPL.nb, and Windows.nb. I then selected Windows.nb as the source and I got the error, "...Critical Error: Couldn't create imgfs_raw_data.bin". Could you point me in the directions (is there a post where this was completely discussed while working out the tools for the Hermes) or am I just missing something stupid and obvious?

Thanks :)

[si124]

I tried to rebuild some ROM release (for instance LVSW full ROM), that have IPL, SPL, Windows (OS), Radio, PrimarySplash, SecondarySplash and ExtendedRom.

1. I used RomKoch to convert Rom.nbh to 7 nb files.
2. I used RomKoch to rebuild nbh with Windows (OS), PrimarySplash, SecondarySplash and ExtendedRom only (without IPL, SPL and Radio).

So, new Rom.nbh is build.

Is this OK method?

Thanks for answer!

this is correct :) you can also use my other tool (nbhtool) if you just want to build/rebuild roms.

chymmylt, which rom did you try to build?

Thanks :)

[huangyz]

"playing" with this awesome tool. some bugs maybe:
1, the build.script contains sth like "++\tools\prepare_imgfs...", that will cause a critical error window pop up while extracting nb file. First, I don't remember there's "++\" in dos shell command, always "..\", :lol:
secondly, there's no prepare_imgfs.exe exists in \tools, so, after I delete those "++" and copy prepare_imgfs.exe from elsewhere into \tools, it works fine :-)
2, when editing and saving the 2 .hv files and 1 .dat files, the temp files are removed automatically. why not keep them for later reference? I just want to make sure there's no "FF FE" double bytes in the begining of initflashfiles.dat. :)
3, after editing initflashfiles.dat, it can't write back due to attribute settings. I verify that under the project directory, this file has S & H attribs, should this be the problem?
4, I've been using Moski's DevPack and Scoter Kichen. This one looks more beautiful with it's GUI. Really I need is the repacking of nbh file (which the former 2 kichen couldn't do). what my question is, if i am repacking an OS.nb into nbf of Artemis (P800), in the packing windows of nbhtool v1.1, it's that right I select Arte1000 and manually change the signiture size to 1024 (in decimal)? if this is a fix value, why not change automatically when you choose a specific device? more, why not merge this new v1.1 nbhtool into your koch? oh, the newest version of your koch is v099661,right?

sorry for so much questions and forgive my poor english:-)

anyway, thanks again for your great job!!! I think sooner or later there'll be a true uni-platform for HTC rom cooking:-))

[huangyz]

this is the reply of MaestroDutty from his nbhtool thread:

hi, you are actually posting this in the wrong topic - but i dont mind, as long as your follow ups will be in the proper topic place :P

1. yes, i havent packaged those tools ( in particular the tools ++ directory ) because the support for other devices is not final yet, this is the first release that comes with ´the buildscript option ;)
to make it work, just create a directory and call it "tools ++" and place those files in it.
2. trust the koch! it shouldnt fuck up anything... i there is no error message when compiling the hive it the file is ok, if there is an error you get a chacne to fix it
3. this is odd. it works on my system. are you using vista? make sure you give koch admin privilegs
4. i don´t know the other kitches, and i´m not 100% sure about the right signature size for your device, but i think 1024 is right :)
maybe i will inject hte changes to nbhtool in a newer koch release...
5. yes 99.66.1 is the latest release, but i will release a new one this week if everything works out as it should :)


thx again!

[PAPPL]

Hi dutty,
many new ROMs are build with tadzios toolchain, so the OS.nb can't be dumped anymore with your ROM Koch. But they can be dumped with tadzios toolchain in a dump-directory.
Is/will there be a possibility to open a dumped ROM with your Koch (select Dump-directory)? Now only .nb files can be read in.
i don't know if this is possible but i don't see any benefit to edit/cook an old ROM.
..or add the function to dump ROMs which are memory optimized by tadzios toolchain with the Koch, like Tadzio ImgfsToolsrc2b can? ;)

[chymmylt]

yeah it should work too.. you just have to enable external device support/scripting and adjust the buildscript to your needs.

Little follow up on the StrTrk rom - hoping I'm missing something very simple :D

Loaded it up in the Kitchen and used the NBH to NB tool which gave me the following files:

G3IPL.nb
G4IPL.nb
Herm_ExtendedRom.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
Radio.nb
SPL.nb
Windows.nb

Silly question I'm sure but why the two G3IPL.nb & G4IPL.nb - shouldn't the rom just have one IPL?

Next

When I go to load Windows.NB as the source I get the following Error:
...Critical Error: Couldn't create imgfs_raw_data.bin

Now if I download and use the prepare_imgfs.exe and viewimgfs.exe I am able to make a dump of the Windows.nb so I think I must be close to getting the Koch working but I think I'm still just missing some tiny little thing.

Last question I have is on the rebuild of NBH file (just as a test to see if it would rebuild). I reassign all the files (only using the g3ipl and there's no secondary splash file. When done, the file is 0.1mb bigger then the original - should this be right?

Ok - I know you have a lot you're working on with the rom you're building but if you get a moment to help on this -it'd be great :)

Thanks!

[MrFreeze]

Hello dutty,

thx for this tool but - but

If I work on initflashfiles and then a ROM provides the OS does not boot up any more properly - does hang - do you have a solution?

[wpbear]

Hello dutty,

thx for this tool but - but

If I work on initflashfiles and then a ROM provides the OS does not boot up any more properly - does hang - do you have a solution?

Yes, flash a known good ROM to get your device alive again. Then start your cooking over, you messed up an edit the dat file somewhere.

[Pampered4Life]

Error message on Windows.nb. Failed!!! Located source nb file. Extraction goes well. Building file list fails. Applcation failed due to error message, "Attempted to divide by zero." Any help please. Im trying to build my own rom usings Duttys Vanilla Rom recently released.

[dutty]

if you get an error while trying to open a hermes nb it´s probably that it´s been built with the imgfs toolchain v2. support for this comes with koch v2 (which is a full rewrite actually...)
the reason there are 2 IPLs, i don´t know actually :) probably for built-in fm radio or gps? or just to startup another internal chipset? IPL=initial program load...
you guys should wait for koch v2, it makes things alot more easier and even friendlier.. besides that, it features native support for the best HTC devices :P

[bernd.k]

When will v2 be released? Can't wait for it ;)

I tried & I tried..I guess..im to dum to use it..:( I just dont understand..

Not that this post makes any sense..

is there a guide for these kind of tools..?

I guess I need alot to learn..never cooked/baked a rom:o (Baked a cake before..that wasn't so hard:D :o )

I just thought..lets try..but it isnt that easy

[vp3G]

after i extract the nbh file to 4 nb files.i selected the OS.nb as the source rom but it shows an error |shown here
\/I've encountered this error when attempting to disassemble a "big storage" ROM. I presume ROM Koch can't do it because it was created with a different tool.

[tadzio]

I've encountered this error when attempting to disassemble a "big storage" ROM. I presume ROM Koch can't do it because it was created with a different tool.

That is correct, at least for the current Koch version. If I remember correctly, dutty is working on a newer version that can load "big storage" .nb files, but he hasn't released that version yet.

Cheers
Daniel

[Pampered4Life]

Thanks Dutty for the information and also the previously attached image by user was the same error i had popping up. oh well i shall wait for V2 to come along. Good work Dutty and thanks a lot man for all that you do. Without you folks i would have never taken the initiative to do this flashing stuff in the first place. Thanks.

[K-Mile]

In the meantime, wouldn't it be an idea to supply 'non-tadzio' rom version of some of the cooked roms, so it can be editted in this tool?

Shrinking the partition can be done at the last moment, if I'm correct, just by running the .nb file up and down the ImgFSTools cycle after cooking.

This way, if a Black v2.0 rom, not shrinked, can be posted, other users can continue cooking with that rom and the Rom Koch. This will allow for more flexible customization of the precooked roms, while still being able to shrink them before flashing.

Isn't it bad enough that we have to register to a forum most of us will never use just to download v1, and now were supposed to post reasons we would be good beta testers just to get v2, at the same useless site, seems kinda stupid to me.

But I have a problem.
1. when i open a rom, and only compile it to a new, and than flash it to my trion, it works.
2. when i open a rom, and edit the registry and compile it, it works
3. but when i open a rom, and open the initflashfiles.dat by clicking edit, and only say ok, so that the koch put it new into the rom, it doesn't boot....
................, it seems to be a problem in rom koch compiling the initflashfiles.dat...

Did anyone ever figure this part out with the initflashfiles.dat Editing not working.

And/or anyone know when KOCH ver 2 is out or PM be a link to KOCH ver 2 since it is a private beta.

I think the ROM Koch v2 will be released together with KYPHUR's new XDALive ROM ......
NEVER !:(

Too FUNNY, or SAD I guess. Anyway I figured it out for now. use the old Koch, edit the file, then before compiling use XVI32 and delete the FF and EE and save. Then Compile and it works.

I am cooking variations of LVSW 5-7 for now. It is just a pain in the ass to figure out which files already in the ROM are from each program....ie. "Did I get rid of all traces of Windows Mobile Live"

Hi, does anybody have the Rom Koch v2 beta? I liked the Rom Koch v1 it was great, but with the new WM6 versions it isn't working well. Can somebody tell me what to use instead which is similar? Thanks Pappl

I get the feeling the few that have it will not let it out so only they can create tru custom roms. I only really need it for the tadzio part since I can not untadzio a few roms even with the tool...i keep getting the size error but no other template works..and i have tried many.

hi there!

all links went into a forum thegamebook.com and a download is only possible with registration. but - no idea why - there is no confirmation link for the access to that forum coming.
so does anyone else have an idea how to get the romkoch of dutty?

[PAPPL]

ROMKoch v2 is very old, i think it won't handle big storage ROMs with melted Ext-ROMs to Main Memory. Does anybody know a kitchen like Romkoch but with big storage + Ext-ROM melting option?

[sdamion]

Hi i am using this kitchen on my HTC Breeze but when i edit the registry it saves it and when i open it again almost al lines are mising. For example i wanne change the Breeze to application unlock I change the registry and when i open it again al registry entries under policies are gone. Need help
