NEW_visual multilang/multidevice/multibuild kitchen for last bepe rom-tools!!V.12.6.3

[ervius]

Hello everyone, put my old kitchen, a little 'restored.

IMPORTANT: To build a good rom, you 1st have to dump an original rom for your preferred device, to have all files needed to build it after (header.xml, splash.xml ecc...)

List of Features:

Check rom version for exchange for new payloads (tested on hd2 rom 3.14 and it worked!), some minor adjustments, the editor, RGU, app.ref etc ..., now always starts as an administrator.
to test it, dump an original rom and then have fun customizing!
New style, new tricks at runtime, new tools for dumping and building !!!!! (Libnb.dll!)
Fixed bugs on inclusion radio.nb and splash.nb !!!!!
Import into .\ext, old-style packages, OEMpack, EXTPack (and also from Cab files;)
in the context menu is also remodule package (from files to module!) and re-file package (from modules to files!); other bugs solved!
Rapi connection problem solved with device in activesync and remove ring tones, images by default!:
Feature on delete files (ringtones, images (wallpapers) and other images (avatars) from a folder in oem \ langdevice \ .....)
Features to all feedback packages, from kitchen and easily editable text file (packages_usefull_infos.txt) in the root of the kitchen.
Can also import "rebuild dumped roms", from DFT dumped, OSkitchen kitchens and RAW Dumped roms!
Support to run the cabs charged by hands at 1st boot after flash!
Save & restore all tweaks in all the tabs when save/load a rom!
Added info exchange Rom language and Rom on the first use of header.xml libnb.dll nbh file to create!
Added new feature to force the run provxmls in Rom


Now when a dump .NBH, the new build is imported, in your EVK in use!


.\TOOLS folder

Inside the folder .\tools, you will find a new folder: registry_tweaks. The .\registry_tweaks folder includes some sample files. Replace and/or add .REG and .PROVXML files, name the files properly and the .REG files will be added as registry entries, the .PROVXML will be renamed as ****. ZZZZ_ provxml, as files are added. provxml, precisely in the rom and run when you first start to customize the rom as you like;)

The kitche includes two context menus for adding new .REG or .PROVXML files, edit them or delete if unused one! ;)

Also includes new versions of DSM_editor and implantxip (no fake virus info about, someone in previous version, not me, inserted automatic "admin execution" with a kind of utility, into my implantxip.exe!, and maybe that "trick", was detect as fake virus, now, with my original updated version of implantxip.exe, my kaspersky doesn't find anything!!!!!)


Note
DSM_editor and implantxip (no fake virus info about, someone in previous version, not me, inserted automatic "admin execution" with a kind of utility, into my implnatxip.exe!, and maybe that "trick", was detect as fake virus, now, with my original updated version of implantxip.exe, my kaspersky doesn't find anything!!!!!)


System Requirements.

.NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 to execute new version of visualkitchen and new tools inside (dsm_editor and implantxip!)


Version History


12.2.9: compatible with x64 system machines, was libnb.dll,not was dll, was my exe, only I had to force x86 execution, also on x64 machines, that version was only for x86 machine, now at runtime, it is recreated, if is x64, compatible version is putted into .\tools folder, else a x86 compatible version will be copyed into .\tools folder!!!
12.3.7: package creator added as optiona choice when wanna import a cab into packages!
12.3.7: Added option to turn tricks "reg" to be placed in rom that will be in a good provxml 'forced to be the last to be executed, overriding any settings from other taxes proxml !!!!!
12.3.7: when forced execution provxml, reg cab, the sequence is .PROVXML in Rom, .PROVXML uploaded by you, proxml derived from the reg trick and finally the cabs
12.3.7: added possibility to add and execute a .tsk file into ROM!!!
12.3.9: bug solved on provxml creation when found "delete regkey" or "delete regvalues"
12.4.3: bug solved on save and load roms, new icon for exe!
12.4.3: "reloaded" update pagepool options on new implantxip.exe
12.4.4: solved problems with implantxip value as default
12.4.5: inserted possibility to load, edit and delete mortscript scripts into rom to run (config.txt will be populated with selected scripts) at 1st boot! ;)
12.4.8: when you choice a bmp to became a splash screen, the kitchen automatically check if the format and size is good, if not, automatically modifyes the image, makeing before a backup of it, and adjusts it according to the file "splash.xml"
(I suggest to redump an original rom for your device, becouse there are a lot of libnb.dll, and I've changed in times, so maybe splash.xml, could be different in format!)
12.5.0: updated package_creator, see and edit into \tools folder user_folders.txt to add your own modded folders into start menu for lnk files extracted by cab files; now, all manila-language files will be stored automatically into relative 04XX subfolders, so only real lang-manila files needed will be stored into rom, and before build, cfc_gui.exe will be executed to compress and patch manila, if you want, only have to click on "tools<>patch manila", on cfc_gui.....
see U!
12.5.2: new built of implantxip, and some little little improvements on erviuskitchen.exe!
12.5.3: Added Visual advices for packages that have to be recmode or reversemode!
12.5.6: re-file or re-module packages that you insert into comments like "remodule, or re-file! (only id relative poackage is enabled while build rom!)
solved little bug on packages colouring (same color on "false/true" packages (enabled/disabled!))
12.5.8: solved some trubbles with LZX Compression!
12.6.0: more compatibility with new xipporterex to change rom version on nk.exe into 3.14 TMOUS ROMS! and now recontruct better alla lang files/folders for manila!!!!
12.6.2: Full compatibility with all Language codecs to recontruct well all lang files/folders for manila, and also all MUIS files will be stored in relative language SubFolders!!!
12.6.3: only exe, now remove also all *.cpr files with resolution different thankn used by your device, and store all of them into :\moved\cpr_moved\namepackage\resolution\...

Compatibility:

Addresses unsupported Language code (ex: 040C).
Added compatibility with old style rom (IMGFS & XIP).
All modules can be reallocked.
DSM processing; all dsm and rgu are updated/created -only with old_style roms creation! (required for cab.pkg updater support.)
In old style ROM mode; all is executed automatically, XIP porting is automated:***
- Correct realtive device's .VM must be copied to .\OEM\<devicename>\.VM
- Correct XIP.BIN must be copied to .\ROM\SHARED\<buildnum>\

Download Link: implantxip.rar (http://www.sendspace.com/file/e2lh88) 166 KB

implanxip can works with:


all kind of payload file, and more:
if a payload has ULDR removed (ULDR part not present!), it can work on it and reallign well some bytes into MBR
you can also remove completelly the uldr section (you could save some more space into payload in this way! (be attenction: in some payloads this operation causes non-booting roms!!! make a backkup of original payload before use: "-uldr tryremove parameter!!!)
for help about: in prompt command write: implantxip /h )

[christonge]

Excellent work as always ervius.

[adwinp]

Grazie mille.
^.^

That might come in handy for some ppl.
For my part, I'm used to command line as my primary WS is linux based. As a matter of fact, i prefer it.

@Ervius: Do you have any experience in coding for unix/linux?
At some point, pof coded a htc-flasher kitchen, but it was mostly wrappers for the windows programs.
Most of the tools we use for ROM building have their source code available, so...

Anyways, I'm off.

I'm testing it in my kitchen just today. I'm looks fantastic. Thanks!!.

If now you can integrate your XIP porting tool then.....

Regards,

this is a alpha version, and stucks on platformrebuilder.exe execution, :( , but when I have some time more maybe insert all inside, xipporterex and other tools of mine!

[chinmay007]

can you post it on rapidshare please, megaupload is a menace. thanks.:)

[elparra72]

In any case this is a great work!!.

I've been checking folders structure and adapte it to Spanish (or another language) is really easy. I'm preparing a new ROM, but as soon as I post it in a Spanish site, I'm going to 'play' with this application and l'll inform you about troubles. Thanks !!

On the other hand (I know this is not the best post to speak about), Your active sync killer is not working fine in 2.xx ROMs. Are you preparing a new one? Do you have a solution?. Thank a lot in advance.

Kind regards!!!

El Parra72

you can adapt, but add other languages, near 0409\ and 0410 folders you can add 04xx\ or o8xx\ all you want, the kitchen at start recognizes how many into, and show all into combobox, you only have to choice in witch language want build the rom ;)

for activesync killer, what you refer to, mine or the original by eliasweb???
bye!

[elparra72]

I've detected this trouble in both. I've test them in several ROMS based on 'oficial' v.2.xx. I'm going to look for your post and follow this trouble there. Thanks.

this looks better and better. I dearly hope that it will come with some kind of manual.. anything... just to know what to press and which button does what...

visual kitchen version beta1 released at 1st post, and see all ROM\ structures.....

[andreapappy]

Hi ervius, thanks for your tool.
I was trying beta1.
I have a couple of questions:
i've tried to import a package (generated with package creator) , I browse to the folder containing it, but after the right-click-> import package, it doesn't appear in the list of the applications.
I see it has been copied to the EXT folder but nothing more.
Also importing a package resets all the choices I made on what packages to include/exclude

If you need more details just ask

Thanks
A.

[conflipper]

very nice, I will test this this week, and see if i notice anything. once again thank you

[Driskol]

Sorry ervius, i have a question:

Im triying to lear to coock with your new visual kitchen

I have a rom dump with surface kitchen in a folder, containing:

SYS, OEM and ROM folders.

Now, as i read your tips, i use packagebuilder with:

packagebulder.exe c:/dump/ and i get:

Error: Package.sof does not exists or not a dump folder.

If a target other folder like OEM, ROM and SYS i get the same error.

That's the dump folder:
http://i41.tinypic.com/2cnw779.png

This one, the OEM Structure folder:
http://i43.tinypic.com/20u49jo.png

And the last one, the SYS:
http://i42.tinypic.com/2ilnh9k.png

I need to do the packagebuilder step or isn't needed?

Thanks in advance :)

uhmmm, this is a ext_packages_rebuilder bugs, I supposed only there were 04xx and 08xx languages folder, but I can see there are also 0Cxx (0C0A) lang folder....
I have to update my tool for you, so you'll be alble to reconstrunct well rom structures.....
wait.....
(but if you want make it by hands, see the screenshot attached at 1st post, and remeber: all 0409 folder will be for you:0C0A folders ;) )
bye!
EDIT:
try attacked exe!
(delete rom\ folder from ROM before use it...!)

[Driskol]

Hi dude!

Thanks for the fast mod :)

I dont have any rom\ folder inside the ROM folder on the dump folder (omg how much folders xD)

Im triying it now, ill be back with feedback soon :)

[Driskol]

Hi again.

Finally, at the end of the process i get this error, i dunno if its normal or not :)
http://i41.tinypic.com/2zthsf6.png

The new EXT Folder was succesfully created but the sys still with no changes, it's normal?

[ervius]

no.........

[Driskol]

Well, its not a problem, i placed all files in the right places following your structure.

I've edited the initflashfiles, etc...

But, when i press the Create ROM i get the following error:

ERROR! (errorlevel: -1073740777)

I think is, maybe, bcuz i dont made it right copying files to folders and others...

Right?

Right?
I don't know.....
I'm updating the tool, and checking if it create right all structures (except for \ROM and \ROM\XIP folder & files, you have to insert by yourself them!!)
wait...

[ervius]

ok, seems to work well the exe attached.
create all rom\ structures in
\EXT (renaming packages according MASD String!)
\OEM (create \lang\ folder and \COMMON\ folder)
\SYS (create \lang\ folder and \COMMON\ folder)

for \ROM and ROM\XIP structures, you have:
dump a xip.bin or a payload with bepe_xip_dumper\dumpxip.bat (dragging xip.bin or a payload file into bat!)
then, open \xip folder, and drag each .dsm file into bepe packagebuilder.exe, finally you have \xip folder within all xip packages....
ok, into \ROM folder of kitchen you have to put:
xip\ folder, os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin file.You have also \rom structure now.....

for other, use application attached!!!
bye!

[Driskol]

Well thanks ^^

Maybe u can make a mini-tutorial, with all files location, except for OEM and EXT.

i think this will reduce the percentage of error when copying file to the structure :)

Thanks and really good work :)

I don't have many time, so I tryed to create some tools to automizate all process, but the rom tools by bepe, and my visualkitchen and all other tools are young, and shurelly no-bug free (talking about tools of mine, bepe's are perfect!!!!!)
but for me is a good begin! ;)

try tools and visual kitchen and report for bugs ;)

[Laurentius26]

Thank you Ervius,

will try your beta 2 and report here if I manage to cook the rom.

Grtz,

Leo :)

[astrolito]

.
Great job ..!!

The visual layout is very helpful to work in the kitchen and the translation of ROMs..

Thank a lot for your work...:cool:

[Driskol]

Ervius, correct me if im wrong...

im triying severals times without luck xD Im too bad with this xD

Have i to drag the OEM and SYS folders from dump to the packagebuilder.exe and that will reconstruct the structure?

Bcuz, when i drag it, the ms-dos popup opens and close so fast and im not sure if im doing it correctly

no, dump an original rom, pass dumped folder with packagebuilder then with my tool.

Hi again dude :)

The EXT_PAckages_rebuilder+Structurer_all_Lang_Enabled keep failing with 0C0A (spanish) but works absolutly perfect on a 0409 rom.

In the 0C0A, the process has stopped at:

Moveing: 0C0A (from OEM Folder)
Moveing: BuildInfoPkg (from OEM also)

Stoping without errors, when in the correct process of 0409 was "Done!!"

Ill attach u a log of the MS-dos window.

Bye!

LOG: http://freetexthost.com/43dttkbugd

[Laurentius26]

Ervius,

C:\ErviusBepe2\Tools\kitchen_build_rom.bat

Is that a correct path?

When I start 'C:\ErviusBepe2\erviuskitchen.exe' it seems like it creates the rom fine.

It creates:

C:\ErviusBepe2\temp\
dump
xip
OS-new.nb
romhdr.bin
xip.bin

But at the end I still have the error it fail to start 'kitchen_build_rom.bat'

Do you have a explanation why?

Thank you,

Leo

try attacked version, and report.....

[ervius]

I made also another utils, only have to drag into an .nb or a .payload file.....
in a while you'll have the rom dumped and structured for mmy visualkitchen.....
try it,.
it can dumps all os.nb and all payloads, and reconstruct:
oem\
sys\
rom\
ext\

folders, structured into:
ext\packages\
oem\common
oem\lang
sys\common
sys\lang
rom\xip\xip packages
ecc.....
try and report for bugs!!!

[Laurentius26]

Ok, I've managed to cook my first Dutch language rom using Bepe's kitchen and Ervius Visual kitchen tools. :):D

I now have a multilang kitchen WWE/Dutch.

Some directory's are different in both rom's here's an example:

0409

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities"):-File("Advanced Task Manager.lnk","\Windows\Advanced Task Manager.lnk")

0413

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programmabestanden\Utilities"):-File("Advanced Task Manager.lnk","\Windows\Advanced Task Manager.lnk")



My question is:

How can I convert app.dat to a provxml which correct these path's so I can use like this:

C:\ErviusBepe2\EXT\AppsL26\L26_Utilities_Schaps_Ad vanced_Task_Manager_v0_7\0409\mxipupdate_PACKAGE_B lackStone_Advanced_Task_Manager_0409.provxml

C:\ErviusBepe2\EXT\AppsL26\L26_Utilities_Schaps_Ad vanced_Task_Manager_v0_7\0413\mxipupdate_PACKAGE_B lackStone_Advanced_Task_Manager_0413.provxml

Or does there exist a tool to convert initflashfiles.txt to provxml?


Thank you,

Leo :)

[ervius]

ehmm...in this case, what's the difference!!?!??!
if app.dat writes on initflashfiles.dat, while provxml writes on registry to have same shortcuts on programs\ or programmi\ ecc....????

[Laurentius26]

Hehe.. found a solution already.

I create two dirs 0409 and 0413 with both a app.dat ;)

Thanks,

Leo :):D

There's of course a wishful thought... having a kitchen, that would:
dump all files where neccesary from nbh or nb files

AND/OR

Dump the raw files from the phone... with a script... just press button and go.. just thinking aloud... :rolleyes:

Yep, get it. I just learned how to dump ROMS, and I can see how that can be difficult.

Tutto in sieme - Grazie Mille Amico!

Error
Error Executing: kitchen_build_rom.bat

i guess its not enough info but i dont know where the error comes from. can you help?

[mst46]

I made also another utils, only have to drag into an .nb or a .payload file.....
in a while you'll have the rom dumped and structured for mmy visualkitchen.....
try it,.
it can dumps all os.nb and all payloads, and reconstruct:
oem\
sys\
rom\
ext\

folders, structured into:
ext\packages\
oem\common
oem\lang
sys\common
sys\lang
rom\xip\xip packages
ecc.....
try and report for bugs!!!

Hi Ervius,

great tool but whenever I try I get the following error with building the XIP/ROM:

Moving \xip folder into \dump\ROM folder!

Unhandled exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file OS.MB.payload.payload could not be found.
Filename: OS.NB.payload.payload
on System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
on System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String desFileName, Boolean overwrite)
on Nb_Dumper.Module1.dumpapayload(String s, Int32 x)
on Nb_Dumper.Module1.dumpa(String s)
on Nb_Dumper.Module1.Main(String [] args)

Cheers,

/mst

Edit: just found out that this problem is for using os.nb.payload only - using OS.nb works without any problems

Hi mate!

Your new dumper is working like a charm, everything is working right now :)

Used with NBHTool v1.1 from dutty to dump the NB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296311

The only strange thing ive found is, why the tool doesn't allow me to remove the X!, X2, etc.. packages from oem?

Security about dont remove important packages from oem for newbies?

Im coocking a new rom now, ill be back with feedback ^^

Thanks!

EDIT: Cooked sucessfully and flashed, working well :) Without errors, waiting your newer version!

bye!

well.....
I'm preparing new ITA/WWR/GER Visualkitchen, now:
you can use all power of xipporterex inside the visualkitchen, and you can dumpo all:
nbh/nb/payload you want, and after dumping, upi'll have all rom structures to insert into visualkitchen to build new rom, solved some bugs, and now all other langs packages into \ext\ folders, will be disabled, example, you want koock an ITA rom, all folders 0409, 0407 all 0XXX inside a packages will be renamed into _only_0409;_only_0407;_only_0XXX, so platformrebuilder.exe by bepe recognizes them like a skipped packages, so only 0410 package-part will be inserted into rom together the "common" ext package! ;)
using of a my internal exe algo to build oem\ and sys\ and ext\ packages reading relative dsms.....
I'm preparing last things, the I'll up it on.....
wait.....

[mjaxa]

great news! Can't wait, as then I will recook/localize my favourite ROM!

[ervius]

yes, now have some problems with patformrebuilder.exe called by my visualkitchen, it crashes ever......
I'm investigating about.... some few days and I'll post the new kitchen.

I'm upping new kitchen right now, if all goes well, in an hour you'll have it....
only a preyer:
check if, excluding a package, or a language, check then, into \temp\dump\ folder if really all (some of them, obviously), are really skipped ;), I made some debugging on, but many eyes are better that only two :)
see you.....
p.s.: changed the skipping methos, now all is stored into "_only_premium" file attcked to the packages (inside, if opened with notepat, there is "true" (include package!) or "false (exclude package!), packages and langs parts of them are excluded by the black file "_skip" attacked to the package or the 04xx (08xx or 0cxx: lang part of package!)).
see later.....

[BETA 3] of visualkitchen (ITA_WWE_GER based on 2.03 diamond rom!) Is reay to download at 1st post, with all included, also nbh/nb/payload dumper!!!
bye!!!

[anryl]

Nice job again m8
nbh dumper not working on old roms that have not packages but all in oem :cool:

[makeveral]

i've tried beta3 and all worked fine! i jsut have one little problem, some settings like regional settings or the local hour are always set to ITA even tho i choosed SPA(i added spanish language). Do you know how to make it spanish? its probably something in the common folder but dont know what.

thanks!

I have to investigate about, and if someone find or have the solution, I'll update the tool ;)

EDITED:
maybe operatoxxx and buidinfoxxx packages have to be moved from oem\common\ to oem\04xx\ folder....
I'm updating the dumper, when I've finished, I'll post the new exe fixed (beta 4 ) and also ITA/WWE/GER OEM\ fixed folder for visualkitchen ;)

hi ervius, can you post 1 without the nb and payload files? so to make the download smaller ;)

[drellisdee]

Ervius, whenever I try your dumper or the packagebuilder.exe it builds the packages perfectly on a GSM rom but not a CDMA. Here is the info.txt from the verizon shipped.exe touch pro rom and sprint and bell shipped do the same thing as it only splits the sys and oem but doesn't pkg as everything is unpackaged in oemapps and oem drivers as well as the operator pkgs.

Can any modifications be done so we can use this wonderful kitchen and tools for cdma?

I don't know, shurelly bepe knows, but maybe it will work with all "htc" devices, only have to modify the bat file into \tools folder, change xip\ folder, payload and romhrd.bin, in rom\ folder and .vm and .rom into sys\common folder and se all \oem folder by your own device.
btw,I'm upping the beta5 (ITA_WWE_GER), solved problem for localization ever italian, and some minor bugs on visual kitchen, if all goes well (I'm uppin with my cell. phone, and an umts connection), if the connection doesn't break down, maybe this afternoon we'll have new visualkitchen version!!!

bye!!!

[spocky12]

I hope I'm not making a mistake, but using beta3, even unckecked sys packages are present in dump (in beta2 and the include file with true/false, it was ok, but now with file only_premium, it doesn't seem to work) (for what it's worth, I'm french -> 040C).

Also another question : what about initflashfiles.txt that I used in old kitchen in order to make shortcuts for applications packages (I have a lg and not a htc and so I don't have AutoShortcut) ? They don't seem to work anymore.

And last remark for now : why are you using such a large font ? I can read them even without my glasses :)

Last but not least : great work !

[ervius]

hi ervius, can you post 1 without the nb and payload files? so to make the download smaller ;)
shure, I'll post also only kitchen without rom contents!!!

some hours to wait......
see ya!!!

[RideTheTube]

yeah, nice mate!!! THX for your great work!

[spocky12]

I confirm what I wrote yesterday about excluded packages.
This time, I didn't change anything and only unzipped your Beta5 rar. Then, selectionned 0409 language, double-clicked "autoupdate" in sys section to disable it (only_premium changes to "false"). But "create rom" produces a dump where autoupdate* files are still included.

What am I missing ?

what a bummer ,it still no works for me. if i cook in an other kitchen it works.

maybe there is a vista x64 problem? I will try it in Vmware and give you feedback.

thx ervius

[furb3t]

First of all, Ervius thanks for sharing your visualkitchen :)
Now let's come to problems :)
1. If I setting ROM VERSION, rom isn't created. I have to left 2.0.00.0 to create kaiser Rom.
2. I compared 2 nbh, one from traditional kitchen and one from visualkitchen, and I saw that the dimension of rom created by traditional is more bigger than the rom created by visualkitchen. For ex:
Rom by traditional = 95.554 MB
Rom by visual = 55.675 MB
What's this difference?!?

[ervius]

maybe you leave some steps, I don't know.
if you don't respect the structures, for example:
into a package you have only 04xx with into some files, and not 04xx\files, with insode some files, platformrebuilder doesn't copy them into \dump folder. (I don't know if is a bug, but is what appen!)

[ervius]

I've just dumped this rom:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_ITA_3.29.408.0_radio_sign_25.83.40. 02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe

and os.nb.payload is 92 Mb, after build new with visualkitchen, new os.nb.payload is 72 Mb, but comparing both dump\ folder with "beyond compare", I have:
1) original dump\
2) remaked dump\

1) 1758 files
2) 1758 files

so, no files or modules were lost, only in modules, like platformrebuilder.exe uses, all last S00X are lost (is a new bepep protection!)
so no problem if you have a payload smaller tghan original, you have to enjoy, same files/modules, more and more free spaces into device ;)
bye!!!

P.S.: same with hermes rom:
ROM HTC TyTN Ita 3.54.258.2_102_6275_1.47.00.10_108.rar

compared both dump\ folder same files/modules number..... different total space into old/new payloads....
more free space!!!!!!

[furb3t]

Ok...i'll try to flash this new Rom cooked by your visualkitchen and I'll report you :)

For ROM VERSION problem !? Any idea?

[ervius]

yes, but remember to modify os.txt and build_rom.bat, according with your device ;)

I don't know what you mean, version on first boot, or in info device????

[furb3t]

I mean the Input Box labelled ROM VERSION in your visualkitchen (in the right top).
I see os.txt but what does it mean in " 400,..\temp\OS-new.nb" the number 400?!
Then in build_rom.bat in which part have I to modify in according with my device kaiser?!

nothing, for kaiser nothing into bat file,

the "400" means the offset where write the os.nb into nbh file! (and usually is same for all devices!)

I've got a little error. When dumping a rom with "dump nbh/nb/payload" and trying to cook a ROM I got an error: Error Executing: kitchen_build_rom.bat.
Everything is ok when I use Nb_Dumper.exe. Any ideas?

EDIT: Found what was cousing the error. I had second rgu and forgot about it. Perhaps the kitchen should have a tool to tell you wat's wrong and where?

[RideTheTube]

Hi back again^^

i have tried it in xp now but no glory...:(:D

just to test i dumped a working Diamond Rom from me but if i dump it with visual kitchen and change nothing just click on Create Rom (left upper) does not boot?
Should i make some screens from my folder structure?

[NisseDILLIGAF]

Nevermind... I figured it out...
I forgot to put the EXT_Pakages in a folder under EXT... :rolleyes:

Hi...

I have a problem when building the nbh file...

I think It's something with the folder structure...?
There are files missing after I flashed the ROM

My folders look like this...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=149775&stc=1&d=1232802241

Is this correct, because all files in the (common) folder 'files' don't get included in the build...

Is it possible to make a "unprotected" ROM with your kitchen? And perhaps how to do it?;)

no, with bepe's platformrebuilder.exe you cannot.

P.S.:

erviuskitchen only exe prerelease rom prj saver version ***6***
at first post!

added:
all modules and files automatic analyzer before build rom, to prevent that a file overwrite a module, if same name, that causes Bepe "platformrebuilder.exe" crashes on rom build.
if some files and modules are present with same name, rom cannot build, you have to delete all duplicate files from modules, and finally you can build yur rom.
bye!!!

[ervius]

seems that bepe's platformrebuilder has a little bug:
if:
a module overwrites a file: noting appens and platformrebuilder works well...
a file overwrites a file: "Warning", but platformrebuilder works well...
a file overwrites a module:"Warning", but platformrebuilder crashes...
a module overwrites a module:"warning", but platformrebuilder crashes...
ok, I'll update visualkitchen, so it will check if a file or a module wants overwrite a module!!!!!

revision 7, check on file to module overwritting / module to module overwritting.....
download at 1st post!!!
bye!!!

Thanks Ervius, your tool gets better and better with each version.

I've notices a small bug with latest revision : it checks for duplicates even for files explicitely flagged as "do not include".

Do you know the order of rom build for ext/sys/oem forders ? I've got some oem\*.rgu files that should overwrite a few values from other rgu and that's not the case, it seems that default.hv and user.hv are not the same than with good old PkgToolsBuildos-4.3b1, is the order different than before ?

yes, you are true, try revision 8 (at 1st post!) ;)

[spocky12]

Thanks, no more check on files that are not included.

But now, an exception occurs, that didn't occur with previous versions. (I don't think it's releated to disabled packages because even with all packages enabled, it still crashes).

I got it working with the last stock ROM but I have an issue with the Panosha 2.4. The dump seems to be ok but when building :


Executing kitchen_build_rom.bat... wait

When I have a look at the different folders of the kitchen, I can only found a single boot.rgu in D:\erviuskitchen_WWE_ITA_GER_Prerelease\OEM\COMMON \OEMXIPKernel

Any idea ?

revision ***8***, check on file to module overwritting / module to module overwritting.....
hey ervius.. any way to redump my own cooked rom? roms cooked with your kitchen are not dumpable :(

the reason why i'm asking is, i used to follow the old structure of cooking roms before bepe's wonderful kitchen. now since i already have the imgfs files (in old structure) your rebuilder does create the folders but the structure is not the same (i mean, the 0409 and files are not created) and so the kitchen doesnt cook the packages in ext folder :(

ext folder is abnormal,
you have to insert into \ext folder, first a group folder and finally the package...
example, you have regedit package (ported to new format with my ext_package_builder!!!)
so, you have ext\ folder
create a subfolder called utility\, and inside you put regedit package, so you'll have:
ext\utility\regedit
into regedit\ you'll have:
app.reg, _only_premium app.dat files and files\ subfolder:
this is all subfolder for ext packages, in this case:
\ext\utility\regedit\files\ (all files necessary for ragedit package!!!)
I'll attack some packages of mine for example ;)


try the app to build packages from old ones....
here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/0uae5b

and...

some of my old packages restructured all included into "\EXT" example folder!!!

What I'm trying to say here is that if I drag and drop the whole kitchen on your rebuilder tool, it only renames the package folders and moves it into EXT folder directly. Doesnt do anything to OEM & SYS. Like creating the 0409/files folders and moving the lang files in it :( So I tried to dump my own ROM with your nb_deprotector but it stays protected :(

I'm attaching my package folder as example in old structure. Move this on your tool and see for yourself :(

But now what does this do? :confused: I dragged and dropped the whole kitchen folder (Bepe's BASIC_RK) with the OEM, SYS & ROM, EXT foldes inside. This file moved all the packages to EXT and converted the OEM & SYS folders to app.reg and files :(

Didnt create all the new structures needed by your kitchen :( So I cant select the Lang in your kitchen and cant cook

you don't need to do nothing, only need a rom to dump with my visualkitchen ,and external personal package to restructire one step one or all together (all in same forder) by ext_package_extractor, seems that you are little confused about!

[ervius]

@ spocky12:
download and try version 1.0 of visualkitchen, it was an error reading "config.txt", I explain better.....
if you have a package with a cab for example, and want execute it by "config.txt", you can add into package\files\, a file called "add2config.txt", inserting a string that is the command to include into "config.txt" (can appen that you must insert into it....!)
so, config.txt is backupped, and populated, if present with new commands, like:
cab: \xxx\xxxxx.cab
XML:\xxx\xxxx.provxml
ecc.....
all automatically, and after rom builded, original config.txt is restored, ready to be populated with other packages that have inside strings included into "add2config.txt" file, a good trick, tested on old rom, but newer published ;)
so, in your rom there isn't a file called "config.txt", so when it tryed to copy it into \tool folder, to backup it, an error appened, now if the file not present, visualkitchen create new empty ;)
try it!!!
bye!!!, for all others, "ext_packages_builder", is updated, and can restructure a \dump folder that has inside \OEM and \SYS folder created by bepe's packagebuilder.exe, only an \oem folder (whit all packages inside, also builded by packagebuilder), a single old style package, or a list of old packages, included into unique folder that have to be passed to my ext_packages_builder...

now the visualkitchen checks only for ".dll" modules and files that want overwrite same, and only if they are real dlls, not only images collections (they infact don't have Relocation table inside, so platformrebuilde don't need to reallocate them and delete relocation table inside!)
try this version , then!!!
P.S.: is not easy for me make debug on an application not made by me (platformrebuilder), so step by step, all us can try to find what works well, and what not on... ;)

The point that we are trying to make is that although the rebuilder works well for the external packages, dragging and dropping the OEM & sYS doesnt make the right structure :( like the 0409 & COMMON folders and all. It only combines the OEMDrivers files and modules in one folder with the app.reg file. Now what happens is that most of us are recooking the all ready ROMs and files. Dumping our ROMs is not possible coz they might be protected and its a waste of time to re package everytime we update something

I just noticed what has caused me to pound my head against the wall :)

When I dump a blackstone/diamond etc rom, I get all structures correct with oem/lang oem/common etc etc

but when I dump a Xperia rom, I dont get structures in neither oem or sys folder. But EXT apps get setup with structures

would be great with any hint on what cause this :)

Hi ervius!
i've found a little bug in the last version.
Searching strings with provxml files is not working but checking all files it works.

Also a couple of suggestions:

- It would be nice to add a contextmenu in the listbox with the files that contains a string so for example, if i want to delete language SWE from manila files i search for lang=SWE -> and in the contextmenu there would be an option to delete selected file or all.

- Another suggestion is that i dont want to flash the ROM to my phone everytime i make a new one cos i use the internal flashing method (DIAMIMG.nbh)so i deleted the diamondCustomRUU from the release folder and now it works but at the end it always popup an error. Would be nice to be able to choose if you want to flash directly or saved it as DIAMIMG.nbh


Thanks for all really!

[elparra72]

Hi Ervius,

I'tried but nb0 or nbf dont work in NB_Dump. Are you planning to include those kind of ROMs in your tool. I'm trying to adapt some diamond kitchen to HTC Roadster but no luck ;-)

Thanks a lot!

3) only have to edit kitchen_build_rom.bat file into \tools folder, and change:
from:
rem ..........cut............
:azz
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
cd..
rem ....... end cut........
to:

rem ........Paste........
:azz
ren RUU_signed.nbh DiamImg.nbh
rem or XxxxImg.nbh according to your device ;)
cd..

that's all....
some minutes and I'll post version 1.5 of ervius visualkitchen!!!

It's for HX4700 (HTC Roadster) and this kind of ROM use a rather standard format. That means they maybe can be use Diamond (or similar) kitchen with only slight modification but no luck yet. This tool could works with another devices as HX2000 series, Dell X50/X51 series and others 'old' devices. I'm using mamaich tools to dump ROMs but modifications are complex ;-)

Havent tried with the latest 1.6 version. But there were a few things I noticed with the previous version:

1) I couldn't build another rom right after having built one. PlatformRebuilder seems to crash and finish abruptly. I've found this is because for some reason the folder temp can't be deleted. If I close the kitchen and reopen it though, temp can be deleted with no problem and all is well.

2) The add2config option is amazing Ervius. Very useful! But is it possible to have the add2config file not added to the final rom? Whichever last add2config was used, always ends up in /temp/dump.

Also would be nice if when opening the kitchen you didn't have to select a language for everything to populate. It would be nice if the kitchen would just remember what language you used last and then automatically load the last configuration when closing.

No, isn't impossible to delete all add2config inserted into tepm\dump, becouse all add2config.txt overwrite itself, so the last remain into, and when platformrebuilder is in action I cannot do anything while...., but are only some bytes more into final rom builded, for deleting temp\dump, you have to wait all processes, so, not only platformrebuilder, but also others, like:
imgfsfromdump.exe, nbmerge.exe and all into bat files, then you can easly recompile another rom, and temp\ folder will be deleted successfull.....

I think that can be achieved with mortscript running at start commanding the file to be deleted ;)

What is the update in this brother? :) This is W6.5 ready kitchen? :D

In case if you making a kitchen that cooks resolution specific ROMs too then I feel we need a repackager for packaging the DPI folders too ;)

I know I'm being very stupid for asking this but I'm really having issues figuring out what the benefits of this kitchen file are over buildos? So sorry not a noob just brain dead on this one I guess

[chavonbravo]

Any chance of moving from nbhgen to perhaps yang or nbhutil, ervius?

Roms put together with nbhgen all send device into ruunbh bootloader recovery mode for polaris, and possibly others. I believe it's due to nbhgen's inablility to sign the nbh (and of course the correct signature size). Both yang and nbhutil (better) can handle this. It'd be great!

u can change it in the bat file easy
its kitchen_build_rom.bat line 97
..\TOOLS\nbhgen.exe ..\TOOLS\os_%device%.txt
for
htcrt.exe /buildrom proj\%device%.htcrtproj RUU_SIGNED.nbh -build
or
nbhutil
or
yang

as u please

nbhutil

I know how to do that, quite simple. I meant a way to automatically setup all the parameters to nbhutil or yang the way it is done with nbhgen with the os_device.txt. The way it is with nbhgen it's very convenient because you can just change rom version and languange and such via the gui and save it into your rom saved projects. It's a pain in the ass to go through the .bat file for every single rom version you cook to get it right.

some minutes and I'll post at 1st post the 2.4 version of exe with \tools folder within the nbhgen instead of the other uset until now to build nbh (into bat there isa ll command to build rom, and will be changed automatically on build rom button press in visualkitchen ) ;)

Hi evius, thanks for your hard work.
I've just downloaded your lastest tool to test, it's really great.
In the batch file, you wrote:
..\Tools\nbhutil -model %deviceid% -cid 11111111 -ver %versionid% -lang %langid% -chunk 64 -nogui -e -i 0x400 ..\temp\os-new.nb -b ruu_signed.nbh
I think we don't need -cid... as nbhutil can use its default value, and can you change a little bit about -chunk 64? I know it'll work well for Diamond and most devices, but if we use the kitchen for Artemis, Elf for example, we need to change it to 1024 (that's why a guy above have prob with nbhgen as it only support chunk 64)

you can change that and other some values by hands, or maybe I need to insert another choice into visualkitchen, maybe have to see better into nbhutils.xml to set better the nbhutils.exe arguments line!!!, and thanks for notice ;)
see soon.....

okok, I've the solution.....

into nbhutil.xml there is also an info about "chunksize", only I have to retrieve the exact value from it and edit the bat according....
so, tomorrow in the morning, we'll have the new exe/bat version with this new %chunksize% variable on to modify the chunk on argument line into bat.
P.S.: what do you suggest about cid????
only §I have to delete it by arguments??? (let's optimize the nbhutil.exe arguments into bat ;) )
bye!!!

[chavonbravo]

THANKS!!! for the new version w/nbhutil, ervius. I love your attitude on always taking suggestions and implementing them into your program. Keep it up!

For rom cooks out there that build many versions of a rom, here's a modification I did to my kitchen so that it'll be easier to organize each version. (thanks to ervius' new variables in the bat file). So now within Release_%device% folder you have a folder for each Rom Version with all the tools and nbh file ready to be rar'd up and uploaded. :)

I moved all the actual rom tool files (romupdateutility, etc...) from Release_%device% and placed them in Release_%device%\Release_Tools, then added a few lines into the batch file (you'll see the differences) :


cd..
cd RELEASE_%device%

if not exist "%versionid%" mkdir %versionid%
cd %versionid%
if not exist "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" copy ..\Release_Tools\*.* .

if exist "RUU_signed.nbh" del /q RUU_signed.nbh
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error
rem cd..
rem cd temp
echo executing NBHUtils to build nbh file...
..\..\tools\nbhutil -model %deviceid% -cid 11111111 -ver %versionid% -lang %langid% -chunk 64 -nogui -e -i 0x301 ..\..\TOOLS\gsm.nb -i 0x400 ..\..\temp\os-new.nb -i 0x600 ..\..\TOOLS\splash.nb -b ruu_signed.nbh

if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

echo.
dir RUU_signed.nbh
echo.

Yes, we should remove it without any prob. I'm thinking of making a %chunksize% variable which will auto chage base on device name (only 3 or 4 devices have chunksize=1024, others will be 64):
..\tools\nbhutil -model %deviceid% -ver %versionid% -lang %langid% -chunk %chunksize% -nogui -e -i 0x400 ..\temp\os-new.nb -b ruu_signed.nbh

Or as you thought, read values from NBHUtil.xml, just do what you think is best to optimize the tool :P

Another thing: I don't know if you like SuperEdi as default editor or not, but I myself like NotePad2 much more, I attach it here for you to take a look (you can decide which to use) (now i must use a "workaround", rename NotePad2.exe to SuperEdi.exe :D)

[Ameet]

Can someone be kind enough to post blank folders to show the structure required by the new kitchen? for example what i attached here.. Cant download the whole new 2.4v (206mb) coz the net at home is very slow :(

[ervius]

damn... this shit of "gprs" connection....
Double post!!! see the next.....

[ervius]

I'll provide to insert a link only for exe, tools and mytools, around 11 mb, then execute visualkitchen and dump an original rom (diamond rom is perfect!), and so you can see the structure, if you dump another device original rom (raphael is good!), and merge all subfolders of them you can see the complete multilang-multidevice kitchen ;)
bye!!!
P.S.: some minutes and I'll post the new exe/bat-tools ;)
bye!!!

only exe + \tools folder version '2.5' is ready at 1st post!!!!
its time to sleep a while for me, now.......
bye bye!!!

yes, shurelly, the packages that are into sys\shared\common, are the packages from witch visalkitchen starts, to build rom, and if you delete *autoupdate* package into ...\shared\common\, you don't need also autoupdate_lang_0409 and also autoupdate_dpi_192, becouse they give the lang to "autoupdate" package, and the resolution to it, if it less by rom, they can be "deleted"!

[ragnascroutch]

Hi all,
sorry mods and people here if you feel that i am posting in wrong forums,
but i think it is more related to erviuskitchen than xperia.
More exactly, it is aimed to enlarge the already large field of devices
this kitchen can cook for.
I recently wanted to move to erviuskitchen for cooking my own versions,
because of it's flexibility and powerful features and it's convenient all-in-one gui.

Before trying to mess a little with it, i opened config and batch files
to see what changes i could make to adapt it to my needs.

In order to have locale and device parameters consistent with my configuration,
i modified TOOLS\nbhutil.xml adding the following few lines:

<device name="Kovsky" chunksize="64">
<ModelID>KOVS*****</ModelID>
<CID>11111111</CID>
<Ver>NsX-r0m_v0.1a</Ver>
<Lang>FRA</Lang>
<Item value="0x200">SPL</Item>
<Item value="0x300">Radio</Item>
<Item value="0x400">OS</Item>
<Item value="0x600">Splash</Item>
<Item value="0x601">SubSplash</Item>
</device>

Then i modified TOOLS\kitchen_build_rom.bat and changed variables according to this:

set LOCALE=040C <------- change this according to your locales
set BUILD=PREMIUM
set DPI=DPI_192
set RES=DPI_192_RESH_480_RESV_800
set DEVICE=KOVSKY
set OLDKERNEL=1

set DEVICEID=KOVS*****
set VERSIONID=myownrom-0.1 <------- Put your own version here
set LANGID=FRA <-------- change to your three letters country code
set CHUNKSIZE=64
set OSIDVALUE=0x400

After that i created an os_KOVSKY.txt file in TOOLS folder which contain following lines:

KOVS*****
HTC__001
myownrom-0.1 <------- Put your own version here
040C <------- change this according to your locales
400,..\temp\OS-new.nb

In order to first try and test features of this kitchen, i dumped a stock R2A
french rom and tried to rebuild it but i noticed some errors which made me crazy to debug...

- First it dumps flawlessly last R2A roms ( at least french one ) so no problems so far.

- After i dumped the rom, i cut and paste files from the old kitchen in the newly build kitchen from original stock rom in order to keep files i modified earlier.

- I fill the fields in gui but it doesn't let me edit "DEVICE ID" "CHUNKSIZE" and "OS ID" fields.

- So i save the project as TOOLS\RomSaved\xperia.erv and open it in a notepad. After edition, first lines looks like that:

Device#KOVSKY
RomLang#040C <------- change this according to your locales
Version#myownrom-0.1 <------- Put your own version here
Language#FRA <-------- change to your three letters country code
DPI#192
RES#DPI_192_RESH_480_RESV_800
aku5#False
Dev_Id#KOVS*****
Chunk#64
OS_Id#0X400

- I reopen the project in gui and then i can create a rom but it says that there is an error creating rom.

- After a few hours trying to find what's wrong, i found that imgfs size was exceeding the max permitted by imgfsfromdump.exe.

- After searching a little, i found a version which permit larger imgfs size, which i included with this post.

- After that it let me generate a seemingly correct rom file.

I did not have time to test it yet but i hope it will flash without pain....

Edit:
Successfully flashed created rom, so i hope some xperia rom cookers will move to erviuskitchen too if they
did not already !!

Cheers !

[anryl]

yes, shurelly, the packages that are into sys\shared\common, are the packages from witch visalkitchen starts, to build rom, and if you delete *autoupdate* package into ...\shared\common\, you don't need also autoupdate_lang_0409 and also autoupdate_dpi_192, becouse they give the lang to "autoupdate" package, and the resolution to it, if it less by rom, they can be "deleted"!

download fixed 2.5 at 1st post!!!

I'm glad to see that this kitchen has come along as far it has. Bravo ervius on all your hard work. I'll post again once I get to test out the newest version (sendspace is being weird right now).

[rjmjr69]

Can someone please explain to me what the difference between this and other released kitchens? Sorry but I'm lost on this

Thanks for any help

on bat I see nbmerge -kaiser
so, we now need some instructions for bat, with new variables to swap between:

In few words:
I can check if payload is:
0x200 or 0x800 record (nbmerge -hermes/nbmerge -kaiser)
but for nbmerge -wizard??? that has no merge into payload???

0x200 or 0x800 record (nbmerge -hermes/nbmerge -kaiser)
but for nbmerge -wizard??? that has no merge into payload???

I've found good solution....
I check on payload and results are:
800
200
or
0

new bat has new %variable% setted to:
mergilo = "..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -kaiser OS-new.nb"
If blocco = "0" Then
mergilo = "REM "
End If
If blocco = "200" Then
mergilo = "..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -hermes OS-new.nb"
End If

and then writes the variable %mergilo% on bat
so or execute nbmerge -kaiser /-hermes or is "REM "
;)
tonight I'll post new 2.7 version :)

ok, version 2.7 ready at 1st post.....
check if bat is modified well according with your devices ;)

Hi Ervius, thx for this cool work.

I found a little beauty mark on your tool. I tried to dump an original Artemis rom as a clean base for cooking, so I gave your tool an RUU_Signed.nbh.

Everthing is running fine, the extraction process is working like a charm.
All OEM and SYS files/folder where moved to their direction.

Your tool wants to move my os.nb.payload to the ROM location - and here it hits the spot - NBSplit is useless on Artemis (and Wizard + Athena and a few more) - we don't have any extra data in our os.nb - so NBSplit doesn't create no payload file!

My short work around: breaking down my RUU_Signed.nbh to os.nb - and just renaming it to os.nb.payload :rolleyes: feeding the kitchen

Unfortunately the way back is a little bit harder to fix. NBmerge is obsolete (you can just rename your os-new.nb.payload to os-new.nb - it works) but it's really hard to find the location in your batch-files to "REM" out this line or changing it with a simple rename...
here your tool stops with an error (error executing kitchen_build_rom.bat) - curiously the RUU_Signed.nbh is created but not working :-( -


NBMerge 2.1rc2
Executing ..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge with data chunk size = 0x200 and extra chunk size = 0x8
on file OS-new.nb
Just give it a try by yourself, here is a link to my Artemis file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/171588347/RUU_Artemis_TMO_DE_3.15.111.2_4.1.13.50_03.06.90_S hip.exe

(it's the latest official file you get from german T-Mobile for Artemis -- just try to do a full run of extract, take out Office from the system and rebuild, then you see what I mean)

I really like your tool and would be happy to see this small issue fixed :D


Greetings from lang_0407 ;) Caspar

p.s. just a small idea for improvement: if it's an 'unknown_device' just ask the chef what type it is :cool:

p.p.s Bepe's platformrebuilder (his new kitchen) has the same strange behavior, but in bepes kitchen a simple text-search fixed my issue

well....
I'll try to insert another important info into "info.txt" stored into rom\%device%\ folder, so the visualkitchen will be able to know if need or not the "nbmerge" command in build rom ;)

[ervius]

well....
I'll try to insert another important info into "info.txt" stored into rom\%device%\ folder, so the visualkitchen will be able to know if need or not the "nbmerge" command in build rom ;)
ok, problem on nosplit for non needed devices solved:
you have to add a new line into rom\%device%\info.txt,
you have to add:
NOSPLIT
as new line into info.txt, if your device doesn't need to nbmerge on payload.....
if you have yet saved rom, you can edit them with notepad adding at last line where you can see the "#" char:
like:
NOSPLIT#NOSPLIT

so you can have:

...........
Chunk#1024
OS_Id#0X400
NOSPLIT#NOSPLIT
OEMAPPS
OEMDrivers
OEMMISC
OEMOPERATORS
OEMVERSION
........
ok????
so, at 1st post of this 3d the new only exe+tools\ folder visualkitchen version *2.9*!!!
hopeing is real the last one....

[sleurhut]

Very good tool,

Our main problem now is to create the right structure. The pics on post 1 doesnt fit anymore.

I must find the location for the AKU dir. thats the only field i cant sellect.

Thanx in advandce.

I will use this kitchen from now on if i get it working ;-)

:D common bug .

Perfecto just a question ?

1:
how is working 'modify Xip RomHdrValue to free rom ram' .
give makes 83400000 this value
how should i modify it UP or DOWN and what i will gain ?
it uses SYS COMMON VM (?)

2:
Is an aku5 xip ? !!! - is it meant to do something with the xip in diferent way or again for real nk(5).exe

you don't need .vm into sys\ folder anymore, new platformrebuilder by bepe works without it, and yes....
ever platformrebuilder by bepe can work with "old" wm 6.1 platform and newest wm6.5.....

Hello,

I tried visual multilang kitchen v3.0 for my wizard but I cannot understand these :

rename your os.nb into os.nb.payload and place that into rom\wizard\ folder,
into info.txt into \rom\wizard\ folder, create a new line and write:
"NOSPLIT" (without quotes!)
like this:

Wizard
DPI_96
dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320
NOSPLIT

(for infos, use nbhutil.exe and try to dump an nbh "wizard" rom, into left size, when you load the nbh, you can read and so, set right values ;) )

and buid your rom.

P.S.: into nbhutil.xml there are some devices not present, like "Wizard", or Blackstone....
has someone an updated nbhutil.xml, so, reading info into "info.txt", visualkitchen can insert good infos, like "chunksize?!?!?!
thanks a lot ;)

[CRACING]

rename your os.nb into os.nb.payload and place that into rom\%device%\ folder,

OK, I done this but don't know what to write deviceid and chunksize box.

It say :
OS value on: "NBHUtil.xml" for WIZARDNot found...
Set 0X400 as default!!!

when I reselect my device ( wizard ). I opened NBHUtil.xml file and there is no info/settins about my wizard device. Should I write my device info/settings in NBHUtil.xml?

Thanks and regards

NBHUtil.exe don't work because wizard uses nb.nbf file but not nb.nbh.

I know that deviceid is wizard but don't found chunksize.:(

Edit:

Ok I found something; I opened my cooked ROM ( nb.nbf ) in typhoonnbftool.exe. I have attached the screenshot.

But I'm unable to understand this. Can I simply write this into chunksize box?

Size : 0x03850000

Probably a silly question to ask ...

Who in their right mind would timebomb a cooked ROM? What happens if someone is using the device for productivity purposes; or is it assumed that most folks change their ROM on a daily/weekly basis? Or is this an OEM BETA thing?

Just curious to understand the reasoning ...

BTW - Ervius/udK; very much appreciate your contributions.

It's just an M$ beta ROM thing. Some of the beta ROM's released have a Timebomb to stop us using them :)

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the clarification.

I've been running into posts of late about cooked ROM's being protected and was wondering if this was the same thing.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the clarification.

I've been running into posts of late about cooked ROM's being protected and was wondering if this was the same thing.

Cheers,

The protection you'll have been reading about is a method to prevent ROMs from been dumped and rebuild by anyone. It's normally done by removing some files from the ROM that are not needed for running. That's one way, but I'm sure ervius can list a fair few other ways to protect ROMs :)

Dave

Cheers again,

That's a shame :( I suppose a Chef who does this must have a good reason for it.

Would be nice if there were an extra option to add the SYS/XIP version you want to use so you can have different builds ready, and not have to delete or overwrite all the work it took to prepare a certain build. Example: SYS/%build%/SHARED/Common/* and ROM/%device%/%build%/XIP/*, where %build% can be 20764,21009,21109, etc. Or possibly even different variables for SYS and XIP, like %sysbuild% and %xipbuild% in case you want to mix and match sys and xip versions.

version 3.2 reads:

rom\yourdevice\xipbuild\oemxipkernel ecc.....

and:

sys\sysbuild\shared ecc.....<
folders, so, if you don't want redump an original rom to see the good structures, only have to copy erviuskitchen.exe and \tools folder into your own kitchen, and.....

rename
rom\device\xip\ folder into:
rom\device\xipbuild\ folder (i.e.: ROM\Diamond\20764\)

and create a new folder into sys\ folder, rename it into: *sysbuild* and move all other subfolders into: (i.e.: sys\20964\shared;sys\20964\0410;sys\20964\DPI_192 ecc......)
enjoy!!!!

maybe you have too many roms to build.....

and a lot of variables, I used only an oem folder for lot of time when had my old trinity.....

and no need to change a lot the oem folder, what build roms are: sys\ builds and xip\ builds.

imagine that aku variable is xipbuild and sysbuild variables!!!

and you don't need ext\dpi\ folders, becouse ext\grouppackage\packagename\dpi\ folder working yet with 2.1 platformrebuilder of bepe.

I think that to build all differents aku/builds that you want the 3.2 version is good.....
