how to customize a self-rom for T4242

---

hi, all,
I have downloaded a ROM of version 6.5 23506 ROM from xda, and a Iolite_RK tool too, but when i decompressed the rom, it only includes a sys folder and in this folder, no any other sub-folders except a .ROM is found. while some instructions say a .VM folder and a OEM folder should be included.
how to do it?

this depends on your base ROM.
you cannot get files sorted by packages if there are no dsm files in your ROM. almost all custom ROMs have no dsm files included.
try to decompress original official htc ROM and you will see how it works.
you can start htc update installer and it will create .nbh file in your temp folder. copy this file and play with it.

ibmcom: Cooking custom ROM is not as easy as you think. There are plenty of tutorials here on xda forums. Read them and you will understand, how it works.

thks.

to serfer222:
where can i find the "htc update installer" files/program?

to torrentonly:
i have seen the dificulty. i have read some tutorials in Chinese forums, and i found lots of resoureces come from xda, so i also downloaded one wwe rom as the base kitchen.

how did you start from the first one? a official rom?

search the forum. it's in the next thread.

I mean any official installer works fine.

ibmcom: Official ROM is a must, because you need to have all base essential files, like drivers, etc. to match your device. Extract some official ROM using some visual kitchen (I am using one from ervius). After that, just try to cook it without any changes and flash your device (after HardSPL of course). If all will goes without problems, you can try to change some EXT packages and so on. The last step and most difficult (well not really, because developed tools make all much easier) is porting of XIP.

If you will succeed with all of this, you can play much more with you ROM, like deleting and editing some files from OEM and SYS. Good luck!

For your reference, here's the dumped file of Dopod_T4288 ChinaUnicom stock ROM:

Part01
Part02

Edit: Now I've made it into a flashable ROM, you can download it from this link:

HTC TOUCH CRUISE 09 IOLITE T4242, 多普达T4288 中国联通定制原厂ROM, 基于HTC英文原厂ROM重建。

The ROM is Chinese language. Version is 1.13.706.2, original dated 29th of Apr. 2009.
It is made from the dumped raw files, base on HTC Asia WWE 1.11.707.1 Official ROM.

your given links are aimless.

i downloaded a english version. i am trying for serveral days, but no progress.

The aim is: You must have a Chinese stock ROM if you want to cook a Chinese ROM.
