here are some logos
you just have to run on pc with the usb cable plugged in, and then a soft reset, and everything will be ok...
What boot screen are you looking for? Or do you want to creat your own one?
Yes, I want to use my own! It's an Anime picture like my nickname!

well i had read the forum instructions and for change boot and welcom screen.
but something is wrong with the typho5. its suppose to extract nb 9200000 files but the application starts without extracting nobthing.
i would like to change the welcome screen from the PDAMobiz to some thing personal. i follow instruction but they dont fit the results i get.
any idea?
thanks to all
specially to the guys in PDAMobiz, who made the best of the best Rom
I want too to make a personal bootscreen...if someone can help us with a little tutorial, we are waiting..thx
Try this
The pdf manual in this thread has a section on updating boot screen and all the tools required to do it are included too.
I do not suggest everybody trys to get into the ROM cooking that is also described, but the splash screen section is fairly straitforward
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297027
first, with this tool you can create your own ROM (customized)...and also splash screens...see the manual pdf
welcomehead.96.png
well to make it easy to understand where we stand this is the only file we must change. but there is a problem. the original file is read only and can not be replaced nor rename or moved. not with total comander , not even unlock extended rom. after a small research i found that the file is integrated with in the original ROM not the extended.
so i am looking for a tool to delete/install files into the ROM when present on the device.
it sims that that cannot be done. we must dump the present rom, sort of cook it on our PC than re- install it with changes done.
at the same time since most of us are very happy with the ROM as is , but want to personal it littel bit, its worth a dedicated tool.
i will look into it. if i find a way i will post it here.
thanks for the great job of the PDAMobize last version .
good tool and very stable
You do not need to look into it!!!!
Read the previous two posts and look at the pdf manual in the download - it describes the tools you need to change you images (without cooking a complete rom)
And it doesnt need a hard reset either!

exactly, but i don't think that it will work on qtek s200, because now i saw that is only for wizard...if you made it, let me know...
Worked for me
You do need to use a prophet nvid ruu program though

in that arhive from you does not have RUU_SPLASH.zip that we need (from that tutorial)
i've copied that file, nk.nbf in the RUU_SPLASH folder and then i've executed ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and is not working...it tell's me EROR (300): INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for you PDA Phone. Please get newer update utility.

If you have created your nk.nbf file, you can replace the one in this file (rename it to zip)
rename it back to exe and execute, it worked on my prophetG4 with WM6 on it
You never told anybody how to do it and then you complain of constant requests
I don't want to cook Wm6 I just want to change some files in my current WM5 Rom!
Could you please tell me how can I do it?
It does not need to be told how to do it, but told how to search ! A lot of people here know how to do it, just GOOGLE it !
sorry, I've already searched... Maybe I'm searching badly!
Could you please help me?
Basically you need to extract the ROM installer, you will find an nbf file in it, then get an NBF file converter, to convert it into some sort of editable format, then you start cooking the ROM, placing whatever you want, and in the end, convert it back into NBF

Need help too
Yea, Please..my probs are the reconverting my data into a .nb->nbf file...after flashing My phone hangs in First Bootscreen...please help!Only Reflashing helps...i really want to cook a rom by myself.
Ive used THIS kitchen...but it is for Wizard-devices only....but i think,it can be used for Tornado,too.
as far as we tried we could not make a proper dump of the wm5 tornado...
but i did manage to build a rom kitchen with wm6 for the tornado...this was a whileago and the base rom is the same as the current available...if ther is enougth request i may be inclined to update the RK and release it.
to get you started here is some pointers.... you can use the same tools from the wizard, imgfs tools.
When I use nb2nbf_wizard.exe, is this created nk.nbf flashable for my Tornado (german XDA Phone aka HTC Douton)?
There is an nb2nbf_Tornado File out there,too, but my Phone stuck in first BootScreen.If i use the Wizard-Tools here and use the nb2nbf_Tornado,(by retyping the Start Adress from 8004000(for Wizard) to 8204000 (for Tornado)) it works well fine, Flashing works well,too,but stuck in first Screen every time.Ive only delete the Solitaire-Folder,but it dont work for me..maybe you have more luck!Or...faria may Post a RomKitchen exclusive for our lovely Tornado..
Have you removed the first two bytes of the initflashes.dat? When not, it can't be booting correctly! That was my mistake when I started to cook my own ROM's for my HTC Prophet (XDA Neo)!
What?
really?I may think,it is only needed after a Registryedit....thank you.!
edit:did not work...

i have the same problem like you.
I've made a nk.nbf from the *.nb files with nb2nbf_tornado.exe.
I've also extracted *.nb (OS, IPL, SPL, etc) from nk.nbf from windows mobile 6 alpha and then 'translated' those nb files with nb2nbf_tornado.exe. Same result: succesfull flash, stuck in first screen every time..
so not the "initflashes.dat" file is guilty..
...and nobody out there may help us?
arpy, it seems that if I include only OS without IPL & SPL in nb2nbf, all are OK..
But still with my modified OS does not get over the first splash screen.. maybe i've done smth wrong. In dump folder, I've added some files (some overwritten), i've removed some files, modified initflashfiles.dat (last line blank, + removed the two first bytes with winex), modified the hv files (saved in unicode standard, first line REGEDIT4, last line blank.. complied: no errors). replaced carrier_splash and shutdown
that's all what I've modified ...
edit:
arpy, try to translate only the OS module with nb2nbf_tornado. and tell me the result. also, tell me what changes you've made
edit2: found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327 . improved tools
edit3: i've dumped my modified OS module with tadzio's ImgfsTools and discovered that initflashfiles.dat had the two bytes that i've removed with win hex.. what the?!
i've removed again, and run the whole build rom process again , but this time with tadzio's ImgfsTools.
Same result.. (stuck in first screen)
Maybe i've modified something wrong.
edit4: i've repeated the whole process and OS module flash and work ok . I haven't tried yet with all modules, only OS. I think I've made some mistakes when trying to replace drivers.
@DSF
Can you post a Step-By-Step Solution?I want to figure out my prob...which tools do you use?And how?May you Post your ROM?
well, i will post summary. i hope to release a "tornado romcook kitchen" and more detailed steps these days.
here is my OS module:
http://rapidshare.com/files/45915194/RUU.rar.html
right now i'm trying to figure out how to make the sd driver from iphone/other roms to work on my custom rom. every time i try other sd driver, i cannot view the card.
i'm using the tadzio's ImgfsTools (see link in my previous post).
steps:
- download typho5.exe, ImgfsTools, nb2nbf_tornado (you can get them by searching via gogole)
- copy all those files in the same folder, eg: ROMDEV
- copy nk.nbf in ROMDEV
Commands:
1) typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
2) imgfsfromnb.exe 82040000-OS.nb imgfs_raw_data.bin
3) imgfstodump.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin
Now the OS files are dumped in dump folder. Do the changes (delete, copy, modify, etc). When editing registry and initflashfiles.dat file, perform the important steps describeb at http://www.molski.biz/romcooking.html (turn off word wrap and use UNICODE in notepad, etc). If you're dune with those things do next:
4) imgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin imgfs_new.bin
5) imgfstonb imgfs_new.bin 82040000-OS.nb 82040000-OS_final.nb
if no error occured in the whole process, run 6) nb2nb_tornado.
There, chose the nb files, OS will be 82040000-OS_final.nb and not 82040000-OS.nb. Don't forget to use the correct image name. (eg: for 82040000-OS_final.nb chose OS)
The language, oem, operator version, cid can be left blank.
When you're done, press translate.
Copy the generated nk.nbf file in the rom update folder (RUU), execute ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the normal flash steps..
That's all.
Thanks to all those ppl that made this possible
PS: if you flash only the OS module (without IPL & SPL), even if the update proces crashes, you will not 'brick' your phone . Mine happen to crash on 2%.. i transpired instantly

Hi guys!!
I have a question...
My question is can i somehow remove my
startup picture when phone boots up??
Im using now Zeeshans 96 dpi rom, and no offence
but hes name appears big when i boot up phone, so
how is it possible to remove it??
Cheers
The first or the second?
Not the windows logo, another picture displays right after it
It's the second splash screen.
See here its name :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Splash"=...
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Startup]
"Image"=...
Replace image with another one.
Bye.
and forgot to ask...
HOw do i acess registry in phone??
On Vox :
* Total Commander
or
* PHM Registry Editor
On PC (Vox plugged) :
* Ceregeditor
Bye.
ive installed and searched after the registry, couldnt find
any of them that youve typed m8
Couldn't find what ?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Splash"=...
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Startup]
?
If you can't find startup, i don't understand...
i cant either find startup under System or HTC maps
Make a regdump, attach it on your post, i'll see if if find pictures.
(use Regdump.exe)
http://dillsoft.com/index.cgi?program=RegistryDump-PPC
Bye.
i found the file, but could delete it
Found in reg ?
i mean, i found the file in Total commander, but wasnt able to delete it, and in registry i couldnt find the registry key
What is the name of file ?
carrier_splash.png
Try to replace this file with another png.
Bye.
Still cant do it....
I couldnt find nething like splash/ image in the reg file.
I have fireburned custom OS 1.0 nd wish to change the splash screen( no offense LeFab47; I love ur OS, but wish to customize it)

Hello all ,
I ran into the problem of liking a rom that was protected..
no problem , only thing i want to add was remote tracker.
the rest i do with uc.
So with the help of da_g i striped a kitchen to unpack and repack protected roms.
to add a package , just unpack..put your cab in the dump dir and add it to config????.txt
and repack.
that way i get the use the protected rom with my own package build in.
thought i would post it.
grtx , arnold
hi arnoldl,
i want to thank you and everyone have helped you to create and publish this. i was searching something like this since many time ago, finally i found your thread and i was able to add RT to the rom i use!
i think this will be useful to many other people
i have changed something and it works perfectly with my blackstone!
thank you thank you.
bye
What is the difference in extracting ngh file, adding cab file to dump folder, updataing config.txt and recooking compared to installing the cab file using UC?
Can we add visual kitchen packages to this dump folder? If we can add do we need to just copy all the files in all the folders of the package to dump folder?
eg: in the package there are some files in 0409 and some in files folder , _skip, app.reg, all these goes to dump folder?
Thanks
@DarkRenegade
No problem , happy that i helped...
@kk0813
If i would buy a phone of the street , i would do the folowing.
- check if there are funny things on it
- format the card
- hardreset the phone
and gone is your remote tracker protection..
If i cook rt in, with my personal settings for it.
after a hard-reset it's installed again , so i can still gps find my stolen phone after a complete format.
only next step i want to take is to re-hard spl , to prevent reflashing if posible.
but these days with new 6.5 images coming out so quick i flash so often i will wait with that one
but all other things i install by uc or later shashimi
Don't know if you can add kitchen files.
never tried it.....
btw attached a new version.
remade it to work with the new envirus kitchen the newer 6.5 roms are using..

You have a Trojan horse in first post!!!
All this to add a couple of cabs to a ROM ? Isn't it a whole of a lot easier to just... you know... install them after ? Or maybe even UC them to make it even lazier ?
Does this work with other roms from other devices? Or just Raphael roms?
I tried this but it extracts os.nb and os.nb.payload and also os.nb.extra but when it starts to create dump it fails
this is the log
ImgfsToDump 2.1rc2
Cannot map file imgfs.bin

Use the latest version of extractor, place the .nbh file in BaseROM, rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and run the extractor.
That worked for me.
A little late reading this, but I downloaded it to rip a rom from a little known site & guess what... Theres a trojan in that 1st post, virus software just riped it out of 2 kitchens recently downloaded as well as that 1st post file.
file namned Win32/Delfsnif.dx
I used your extractor but when i use old (1,2mb) i have problem with rom (sense 2.5 crash , windows menu crash), when i use new extractor (1,9mb) i don;t have a bootable rom (.nbh is very small 15mb-100mb) Is there any solution?
Sorry for my english I hope you can understand me.
I think there are more usefull tools that could help you.
Let's have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411915
And I believe that this tool is used by most roms makers.
Sorry but this tool is traying to rebuild protected rom into kitchen (with folders - ext, rom, sys etc.) but this is impossible.
Worked Great ! !
It worked great for me!
Moving to general section
You should just move this to the cooking forum. People are always asking if you can modify cooked roms. Then others are always answering that you can't dump and modify a protected rom, which clearly isn't true. So this would work ok in the Cooking forum (can't even remember the name of the forum, even though I'm a mod there, lol).
If this works, than this is pretty kick ass! I was recently trying to simplify the process as you did but your work looks flawless to me! I'll post as soon as I can confirm it works putting the rom back on an HTC rose (htc s743).
After the rom is dumped, what says what files go in what directories? In the dump directory ALL files are in the dump directory and not in the folder structure they would be after the ROM is flashed to the phone. Where would I find what determines the folder structure?
cant believe myself guys , PLEASE , tell me how to change my welcome screen , i've downloaded a cab named "EMSE Windows Phone animated (QVGA)S.Black" , and so what ? install or i've seen some advices to change .png or whatever in the system folder with Total Comander ... some1 guide me through the fog fast and clean ;]] and let this thread run fast downstairs...
i got the cab from some thread , and i can upload it in this one if anyone needs it ... ?
Hey LtBlue, there is something wrong with his registry settings, they not correctly setting the files on some devices, you'll need a registry editor, active sync your phone and run the reg edit from your pc and change the following:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation :
StartupGif - \Windows\animated.gif
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen :
CarriereBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png
MSBitmap - \windows\welcomehead**.png
