[POLL][REF]*SYS Porting Guide*[ONLINE]

[Ameet]

well i really want to know how to dump an xip so that i can port my latest
Well first run this command on OS.nb (use the RomMaster V2.3)
RomMaster.exe OS.nb. -w 5 -b 0x00310000 -x -o xip.bin
Then run the XIPPort Tool from Bepe in same folder as xip.bin. click Dump Packages and then click Package. Thats it, you get the dumped XIP. If you use the DumpRom on xip.bin you will get the required RomHDR.bin file with the dumped XIP (but will files, not modules and all in one folder)

Hope this helps

well, i dont use email acc on my phone. but i can select mulptiple sms's. may be u can try poutlook from another build like 19965. Ameet can help u better in that case.
Well all I did was replace the "tmail.exe" from 19965 build ;)

it should be easy now. just use the xipport.exe to dump the xip.bin, chose to 'make packages' and follow the other steps written in this guide for porting of files and modules from msxipkernel and msxipkerneltlk :)

[{SBR}_L3GION]

ok i have read this over and over and i think i can accomplish it but i will report back if i have any troubles one thing i do see i might have a poblem with is that i wont be using build os and package tools to make my ROM i will be using the vogue kitchen tools and dog guys kitchen for the Titan. i know in porting the sys folder you have to change the addresses in G'reloc i figure you must do the same in M' reloc. so if this is the case how do i go about finding the addresses of both xip.

use M'reloc on the modules of the original xip and you will get the values which need to be changed in new xip modules.

thank you very much i will be working to see if i can get this thing ported today.

do i have to run the M'reloc on each file in the modules folder.

[Ameet]

do i have to run the M'reloc on each file in the modules folder.
Thats a lengthy process. Easier is to replace all modules from MSXIPKERNEL & MSXIPKERNELTLK and directly start cooking. Bepe's & Ervius's kitchen automatically relocates the module addresses

how do i cook with that i would love to cook with that because has so many more options.and where do i put the original xip so that it has a reference.
im trying to port for a cdma vogue and a cdma titan.

[Dragonet]

I still do not know why we should port SYS or XIP,anyone can give me a brief explanation???

Brother, this is the max I can get the info to you, unless if anyone else wants to do the honors. You need to go through the foums and read a lot to learn, read in the elfin and vogue forums :)

Waiting to see a cool new ROM from you someday

thanx for your help man im going to keep tryin and hopefully you will see some awesome ROMs come from me soon i love doing this stuff and this is the most difficult thing i have done yet but it will pay off one day.

Can somebody please attach buildxip.exe to a post for me?

Also, there are Titan and Vogue kitchens already on PPCKitchen.org's website. Apache as well... Others soon....

i do understand there is kitchens already up for these 2 devices but i would rather learn how to do this stuff myself so that i dont have to rely on others to do the work for me and also i would like to start providing a service to the community.

[Noonski]

Even though i didn't need to because of the kitchen i use.

I still set out to reallocate the modules manually.

And then i came to the initvmmap.exe

I had to change it to 00012000 from 00013000

But everytime i clicked Do it!

It went back to the 00013000 ? It didn't do this on any of the other modules (up till now).

Let me continue doing my own XIP Port ;)

[lennysh]

here u go :)Thanks, but that one doesn't work for me either... Guess I'll go back to Xipport, and leave this XIP Kitchen to be completed another day...

[Noonski]

Thanks for the xip.bin.

I think i managed to glue it together. At first i was abit confused. and was getting ahead of myself. But took the time and i didn't brick my phone.

Now running new Diamond XIP.

And i can even see some damned improvements. A few items just after reboot seem faster.

But Top Start Menu Bar is showing during the First Splash screen right after Flash.

Your Tutorial has just made me an even more dangerous man.

Nice working with you.

Hey Lenny, you beat me to it. Aman told me about this and I used the services.exe from 19951 Diamond build. This worked out well :)

[lennysh]

Hey Lenny, you beat me to it. Aman told me about this and I used the services.exe from 19951 Diamond build. This worked out well :)Bad thing is, this is not a fix. Or a patch. It's a bandaid. We need to compare the two files to find out what changed that is causing this issue, so we can start patching the newer builds.

[!Aman!]

i wonder how do u plan to compare the two files :rolleyes:?

PS: all these newer builds are coming initially for VGA devices, so i believe microsoft is developing them mainly for VGA and not QVGA which is leading to small bugs like the one mentioned above. the newer dll's & exe's may be more suited to the VGA devices than our QVGA devices.

I'll double check...

[!Aman!]

You'd think this yes, but, I think I also have this bug on my VGA device... I'll double check...
i see...even if this bug exists for VGA devices, how can we find the problem with the newer builds?

[lennysh]

i see...even if this bug exists for VGA devices, how can we find the problem with the newer builds?Well... It's like this... I know a dev that fixed a contrast bug newer builds were doing on the Axim. He did this by comparing a working GWES.EXE and a non-working GWES.EXE. There was also a menu bug with overlaying that he also made some slight changes to that file to fix that. As with the contrast bug, he found a hidden call for a registry entry. Once we now set that registry entry, no more contrast problem on boot. So I think if the Axim does indeed have this bug, I'll get him to do his magic. :cool: Then we can see about designing an app or something to do this on future builds if he happens to fix. Even if this bug isn't on the Axim, I have 2 PPC phones that I know one of have this bug. So I'll still get him to do it. :cool:

[lennysh]

Also, I'm trying to start an IRC chatroom for experienced developers/rom cooks for HTC devices only. Sorta a private chatroom where we could discuss things like this, fix them, then post them to forums... Just PM me if you want the details... This will also help us I think all stay current with the newer builds... I have several friends that I'm also gonna try to get in there... You'll definitely recognize them when you see them...:D

[MickyMax]

Why private chat ? The goal is'nt to share tips about cooking ?

[lennysh]

Why private chat ? The goal is'nt to share tips about cooking ?That took a lot longer than i expected... The idea is to compile the right ideas together, then post...with better how-to's.... less posting, yet get more accomplished... with a single post...

Hello !


I have ported the last SYS ( 20273) issue from the Diamond to my Touch !
I have ported the DPI in 96 !

Nevertheless, the Windows Live Messenger don't function :(
When i'm trying to connect, i have a error message :

" Unable to Connect, Try to verify that then reception is good"

Anyone have a Windows Live Messenger which i can integrate on my wm6.1 ROM ?

Great thanks for all :)

[Noonski]

You have to create your own .lnk files.

These days i'm alergic for those.

[MickyMax]

I've successfully ported the 20273's windows live to my french ROM. I'm using the DPI from the 19212 build and the others files from the true 20273.

Take a look at the OEMMisc rgu which has changes... ;)

[!Aman!]

Take a look at the OEMMisc rgu which has changes... ;)
it would have been better had u mentioned that registry value alongwith its correct value rather than creating a mysterious situation :D

[MickyMax]

Here's the new value. It's only the URL which has been modified.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live\Platform\Passport]
"Policy"="https://http.mws.mobile.live.com/2006/10/MWP2007_02/SecurityPolicy/Default.aspx"

[Nixeus]

Great thanks for all your help, i will try your advice ! Gret thanks :)

[Nixeus]

Great thanks to your file Noonski, it function !
Nevertheless it is the 10.6.34.800, do you have a more recent version ?

Great thanks :)

[Noonski]

Ha,

Right back atja Ameet.

Since you added XIP porting to my curriculum.

[Ameet]

Will update this thread shortly with updates on porting guides. Also going to add the .CPL guide for porting newer Diamond / Raphael & Xperia ROMs :)

[lennysh]

I found a good detailed guide to XIP porting on a Chinese site (bbs.xbeta.cn) by the user ganfan a while back.. I decided to go and translate it for us to English. It has pictures and all. So if anybody would like to see it so far, the link is:

http://wiki.htcgeeks.com/index.php5?title=HowToPortXIP

I'm still working on the wording of it, so it'll be constantly updated for a lil while. Feel free to help out on it if you wish.

Hi,
i want to ask how to use the "XIP port" option in Ervius's Pkgtools V4.3b1, coz after i use dumperrom.exe to dump the xip.bin and put all the file in the "New XIP" folder and press "Port It", the program showed an error msg, "Error Finding OEMXIPKERNEL package, try porting all modules manually!!! Why is that? and i could i resolve it?

What exactly do you mean by "put all the files"? Do you have the OEMXIPKERNEL modules and files? Dumprom creates files and not modules. To use Ervius's kitchen for porting you will need modules. I suggest you use XIPPort tool and go as guided since it also needs your original OEMXIPKERNEL

[raykisi]

After i use dumprum.exe to dump my xip.bin, i have a XIP folder which contain subfolder like busenum.dll, cachefilt.dll, cecompr.dll, ceddk.dll.........

Or can u tell me wht exactly i should put in the "New XIP" folder, like wht structure should the folder be as when i use XIPPORT.exe to dump XIP.bin the result folder structure is different from when i using dumprom.exe

Okay but why am i the only one to have this issue? Is there a chance that a corrupted NBH file might give a wrong SYS folder?

Nixeus (aka CrashOver :p), did you manage to port this version without these issues?

Try replacing "services.exe" (in OS I think) by the one of your old build... (96DPI) ;)

It appear that here is a new ce issue from the diamon, not the 20275, but the 20295. For the moment i will stay on the 20273 because it appera that the 20275 build consum 2mb in addition.

If you have downloaded the 20296 from Niki kitchen threads, then this MSXIPKERNEL in kind of incomplete. I mean this doesnt have fatutil.dll and a few others too. I'm trying to combine the missing modules from the 20275 build, but last night even with 20296 XIP and 20275 Core the ROM showed me 20273 Build SYS. Tonight I'm going to try and cook a ROM with full 20275 SYS & 20296 XIP. If this works out well, I'll upload my working XIP

[lennysh]

Just for the common knowledge, 20275 is fake. It's actually 20273 that has been hexed to be 20275. 20273 is still the newest build that I know of that is authentic. If I'm wrong, (read this on several Chinese, Russian threads) then please prove me wrong. I need something to do anyway. Seems all my devices (4 btw) are running 20273, and now I'm bored. Nothing to cook! :D

Phew!! Thanks for the update brother. Looks like I just found my newer shipped ROM hookup :)

I'm going to revert back to 20273 build then :D

MMM i have perfrom benchmark with the CE 20273 and 20275 ( with the same SYS, and APPZ) and it appear that the result of the benchmark is not the same:)

20275 is better ! So i don't think that the 20275 is the 20273 !

[kokotas]

So i don't think that the 20275 is the 20273 !
I'm with you!
For further discussing,
does anybody believe that bepe would post a build that's fake?
I don't think so!Do you?

i did the same but in some way the xip does not work ... i got xip20273 and sys20273 running but xip 20296 does not work for me - i guess its why there are parts missing... i did not get the 20296 from niki kitchen, but if you search on google, there are some chinese threads you can get it from...

Yes succeeded right :) Attached the 20296 MSXIPKERNEL on post 3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2051340&postcount=3) Mix those modules with your OEMXIPKERNEL and you are ready to cook. Do the M'reloc id necessary :)

Yes. There are 2 modules which cant be reloced (dont know off hand which ones) But why manual relocing when Bepe, Ervius & Koko's kitchens can do it auto for you :rolleyes:

just one simple question plz
when making the SYS folder... both folders have to be for the same device?
just to be sure

sorry if this question is asked before :)

[Ameet]

:) I got me a visitor after a long time :D

Porting SYS means the SYS to be used is from a different device. Very simply to follow as a thumb rule would be the below scenario

Old SYS
SYS\Shell\shell32.exe
SYS\Shell\shellres.dll
SYS\OS\services.exe (this is required only to get rid of title bar showing at boot if SYS used from VGA devices)
SYS\.VM
SYS\WinCeNls_WWE

New SYS
Rest of whole folder :) and run G'reloc as mentioned in the SYS porting section

[!Aman!]

SYS\OS\services.exe (this is required only to get rid of title bar showing at boot if SYS used from VGA devices)

i'm not sure if VGA devices are the culprits here. i've noticed this title bar even in shafez ROM which is from a QVGA device itself. and btw, we have been using 19591/19588 build's services.exe (for solving this issue) which are from VGA devices ;)

Aah yes :) You right :D Since I lost my data I lost my head too :D

[pfcsabre]

Probably trying my luck in posting in this thread than in Dev and Hacking thread :o

I've managed to do manual XIP porting from ababrekar's guide, and now doing SYS porting. I'm following this guide in assumption that it's almost the same for all devices. I had this instruction from the manual XIP porting:


Now put this OS.nb file in the ROM, put the boot.rgu from 19965 (shipped ROM) into the \ROM\XIP folder and do not include any of the OEMXipKernel or MSXipKernel folders in OEM & SYS folder while cooking


But here g'Reloc complains and is looking for some files in the kernel folders when I delete OEMXipKernel and MSXipKernel. So if I do manual XIP porting, do I delete the folders if not porting a SYS, or do SYS porting first, delete it and do manual XIP porting?

Probably trying my luck in posting in this thread than in Dev and Hacking thread
You probably misunderstood :) The XIP porting guide mentioned here is maybe as I would put it, is for those specific devices which are supported by the buildxip.exe tool. The guide (manual) is for devices which are not supported. You need to remove the MSXIPKERNEL & OEMXIPKERNEL foders from your SYS & OEM folders and then run GReloc

No I understood it correctly :D I like to do things manually first then think of automatic procedures later, this way I'll understand more of it :) Thanks for the tip, will try to do that now!

[lennysh]

No I understood it correctly :D I like to do things manually first then think of automatic procedures later, this way I'll understand more of it :) Thanks for the tip, will try to do that now!My point exactly. This is why I luv my XIP Kitchen I made. Of course, you have to be able to do it manually first to make an XIP Kitchen. But now, anybody can do XIP. Or, will when it's releasable. It does everything automatically now. And werks perfectly 100% of the time. I just need to make some minor changes. But this is off-topic... l8tr!

[Noonski]

Even if the default.hv and user.hv get recreated in Rom, i still like keeping the original default.hv and user.hv in the Metadata folder when porting another systems SYS folder.

[Ameet]

This is why I luv my XIP Kitchen I made
Hey Lenny. Hope to see this soon for public release ;)

[try]

:) I got me a visitor after a long time :D

Porting SYS means the SYS to be used is from a different device. Very simply to follow as a thumb rule would be the below scenario

Old SYS
SYS\Shell\shell32.exe
SYS\Shell\shellres.dll
SYS\OS\services.exe (this is required only to get rid of title bar showing at boot if SYS used from VGA devices)
SYS\.VM
SYS\WinCeNls_WWE

New SYS
Rest of whole folder :) and run G'reloc as mentioned in the SYS porting section

Dear AB,
its me again. I am trying to port the SYS 20924 from ELF to my Raphael. Sorry to post in ELF section but I cannot find it in Development section.
XIP porting was done with your help. Thank you.

I follow your suggestions above to port the SYS, but the device do not boot. it stuck on the red text (radio, protocol, etc)

So I re-try it from the beginning.

Use Raphael SYS as working base.
Replace all directories inside SYS with directories from SYS 20924 except:
All SYS\***DPI_96, I left the SYS\***DPI_192 since Raphael use VGA
SYS\.ROM
SYS\.VM
SYS\Base_Lang_0409
SYS\OS
SYS\ppgprov
SYS\Shell
SYS\SQM
G'Reloc,
This time I managed to pass onto next screen (Preparing your device for first use....).
But my device stuck there.


Any "light up" on what i was doing wrong?

TIA,

[!Aman!]

use those in red color from new SYS.

[Ameet]

use those in red color from new SYS.
Also to add, ensure matching the .VM values from the original SYS through G'Reloc

[try]

use those in red color from new SYS.

Actually, when 1st i try to port.
I was trying to replace everything with new SYS, except the one mentioned by Ababrekar:
SYS\Shell\shell32.exe
SYS\Shell\shellres.dll
SYS\OS\services.exe (this is required only to get rid of title bar showing at boot if SYS used from VGA devices)
SYS\.VM
SYS\WinCeNls_WWE
and gwes.exe (needed for VGA devices)

But it didn't boot, just stop in red R...D...G... screen

@Ababrekar
G'reloc maintain values from original SYS, as you mentioned in the guide.

I will try again tonight. In the meantime any help are really appreciated.

TIA and cheers,

[!Aman!]

don't replace those. just use the new ones and then try.

TIA and cheers,
Try again with what Aman mentioned. Moreover just to clarify, Greloc doesnt have values from original SYS but it determines them from the .VM module so first run the tool on your original sys and then run again on the new sys to match those values ;)

[try]

Thanks guys,
Definitely will try again as your suggestions. But now I am in business trip for 1 week. Soon as I return I will try and let you guys now the progress.

TIA,

Hi guys, great work, but a question for you!
I've ported Sys 20931 in my rom, except .Vm folder, shell32.exe and shelres.dll.
I cook it but at startup it gave me tmail error and any type of messages doesn't work also IE...
Some idea or tips!
Great work also with Xip porting!;)

Maybe I'm noob but you should take from original SYS also shellres.192.dll (in QVGA it will be shellres.96.dll) and shellres.dll.0409.mui ...

[robertus3d]

Ok I've solved my porting Sys, all works correctly but I've still 1 bug, data connection by my operator don't work!:mad:
I can download data by wifi or sync pc, I've try 2 o 3 simcard, but nothing!
I've ported new Sys folders except old .Vm, .Rom, shell32.exe, shellres.dll, services.exe, ppgprov and Sqm folder from my rom!

[jeesus123]

I also have problems with porting sys to raphael, I used latest AT&T rom as base and took 20931 SYS files from ppkitchen buidOS software.

Usually it hangs on boot with radio and rom details. Can someone post short tutorial how to really port SYS on Touch pro.

thanks in advance.

Hello,

First, excuse me for posting in Elf's section since i own an eten x800 device. I'm trying to port wm6.1 to my device. I have succeeded to port wm6.1 from eten x900 (xip and sys) but i'm unable to port sys to my device from any HTC device.

I have followed the steps found in this thread, but no success, the device hangs on boot screen. What i have noticed is that i'm able to start the device once in replace the entire OS folder in sys from older version. But the device is so buggy and it gives lots of error messages.

what i did is:
Keep : .VM, .ROM, ppgprov, WinCENLS_WWE, SQM, shell32.exe, shellres.exe & services.exe
Replace all files (same dpi and resolution)
that didn't work unless older OS folder was kept


Any ideas please?

Thanks

[Nixeus]

Hi my friend,


I need a little help !
I have no difficulties to port SYS folder !

But, with the new SYS folder 20764 issue from the BLACKSTONE, i have difficulties !

If i Replace .VM, .ROM and wincelens, the romm boot, but with the BIG logo, it's normal because the blakstone is in DPI 192.


Next, i replace all the folder *192* , i build my rom, and then, after the first bootscreen ( the htc bootscreen), there is the " bip", and i can see no welcomescreen, and i cannot to continue !


Have someone any help to this probleme ?

How porting this SYS in DPI96 ?

Great thanks my friend :)

[Nixeus]

Hi,

Yes i cook protected rom, but i can cook non-protected rom, why ?

[!Aman!]

which kitchen did u use? Ervius' or bepe's?

[Nixeus]

It's a kitchen named "Execute", it's a french kitchen.
I used it since 10month and no problem :s

[Nixeus]

Do you think that i need to test with another kitchen, ervius ? or bepe ?
Thanks :)

[!Aman!]

yeah, try bepe's or Ervius' kitchen.

[sleurhut]

yeah, try bepe's or Ervius' kitchen.

It is not the kitchen.

I had it working and now i cant do it againg.

I have now the same pronblems

Hello
I'm trying to carry a 21,009 SYS to Raphael. And I get an error "poutlook.exe. I tried to change the original file, but even so, it still gives me the same mistake.
That is what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

Skip the 21009 SYS, Go around the forum and roms with that Sys and you will find quite some issues Popping up.

[Nokser]

Tell me how to do that in the SETTINGS options are all about and with the like ... in 21139 THX

Guys, if you use Bepe's new Platform Rebuilder kitchen you will not have to worry about porting over a new SYS, as it does everything automatically for you. Just drop the new SYS and you're done. But remember to include WinCE.NLS from a working SYS if the new SYS does not have one. You'll find the new kitchen in the Hybrid Kitchen thread, I think it's in the 2nd post.

Hi guys, I'm having a few minor issues while porting XIP and SYS for my Samsung i900...
After porting, i see the following bugs:

1. Finger mouse doesn't work properly, after clicking on something it disappears and only comes back after a soft reset.

2. Multi-file selection no longer works. I tried the registry hack but didn't make any difference, any other suggestions?

3. Preconfiguration no longer happens. Don't know if HTC devices are the same but for the i900 after initial boot, a second reboot normally occurs saying preconfiguration complete. I believe this is for OEM customisations... Any idea how this would normally have been triggered?

Thanks

Steven

Hi, I've worked out (1) above and I think what (2) is, but can anyway give me some suggestions for (3)? What does nk.exe call after it has booted and what is called until preconfiguration?
Thanks

Thanx in advance

ps:OS 5.2.21041 build 19972.1.2.7 and the first boot is damn slow. it took almost 3 min.

Hi my friends,

Is the method to port SYS in wm6.1 the same in wm6.5 ?

I have try to make wm6.5 rom, and my ELF don't boot :( :(

Thanks a lot !

[+ Que PPC]

I had a question...

I have two xip.bin. One is the old xip.bin that i have in my kitchen, i mean... in my kitchen i have the ROM folder, inside i have XIP(folder) xip.bin(file from old 6.5 functional release) os.nb.payload(file from old functional 6.5 release) and romhdr.bin(file from old 6.5 functional release).

the other xip.bin is from the new build, the one i dump with xip porter, and obtain the MSxipkernel folder and MsXipkerneltlk folder.

I had overwrite the files and modules Xip kernel and tlk to my old XIP folder onmy kitchen... but there, in ROM folder remains the old xip.bin...

So this is the question... do i need to overwrite the old xip.bin with the new xip.bin build(the one I dumped with xip porter)????? or i must to left the old there and only!!! overwrite that files and modules MSXIPKERNEL and tlk folders?

Thanks in advance everybody.

Hola +que PPc
The port of the xip today, reduces to add new MSXIPKERNEL to a base OEMXIPKERNEL

In fact, if you use modern kitchen like platformrebuilder, you just change the hole folder.

In Hybrid, I use the Xipport.exe to obtain the Files and Modules folders, and take the MSXIPKERNEL files and overwrite the old ones, and viola!

[kancrutt]

everybody have ported XIP/SYS for Elf from WM6.1 latest build?
thanx in advance
