Ok I need a few opinions.
I am wanting to find out who has the easy and the best Kitchen.
I want to take a "nk.nbf" and edit it.
I want to remove packages that are in there and add others.
I have "TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard" Rom I have tryed to use "HyperCore Kitchen" but could not get the rom to work.
I took the original ron, extracted it and then re made it (With out changing anything) to see if I was doing it the correct way, but after I loaded the rom it locks up after it posts the ver screen.
Is this the rom I am using or the way I am using it. Or is it the kitchen.
I really want to learn to make my own. So if some one has time to walk me though it I would be ever so greatfull.
I have searched and search the site and most walkthroughs apply to old vers of kitchens. I still tryed to follow them but cant get a rom to work. I know I must be missing something somewhere.

I don't think you have the .rgu's
If the chef deletes the .rgu files you can't rebuild his rom the easy way. You should either seek a rom that has all the files or ask the maker to share them.
Ok thank you
Yep, a lot of the roms have the .rgu files removed. You can use my cooking pack or I recall that there was a Lite version of TNT that was meant for cooking that would still ahve the .rgu files (but then you'll have to get the packages to put in it what you want). Then of course there is theloon's kitchen stuff which has tons of packages and all.
I've started trying my hand at cooking some of my own ROMs over the past couple of days and have gotten confused on some stuff. I've been following the both the Wiki's and the threads on cooking but none of them seem to point it out so here goes.
1) I'm trying to use a base ROM such as this one or this one and have been successful in both dumping them and cooking them using Alex's latest revision of KaiserKitchen and his apps. When I am including the os.nbh file during the cooking process, should it be the one that comes up in the main KaiserKitchen folder or the one that is located in the BASEROM folder? Is either of those files just the OS part of the ROM without all the applications and such?
2) After cooking and successfully flashing either of the two before mentioned ROMs I will always get the auto-installer which occurs on a default ROM. The problem is is that none of the defined packages that I've chosen in the cooking process will be installed when the ROM is flashed. Why is this? Is there something that I should be doing that I'm not doing now that will allow this?
I would greatly appreciate any help in this as I want to become an avid chef but want to learn the ropes first. I've been toying around with it and wanted to get a decent collection of base ROMs and understand them before I start customizing them and such. Again, any help would be thoroughly appreciative and love what you guys are doing here.

os.nb should be in base rom with RUU_signed.nbh(once youve extracted) The File that is generated during ervius package tools is OS-new.nb-this is your new os. Kaiser Wiki has all info.

I've been searching the Wiki like crazy and I guess I am just confused on it. So OS-new.nb is the OS ROM with all of the packages, Which one would be just the OS itself? The os.nb file in the BASEROM folder?

Yeah, but dont worry about os.nb in base rom folder, unless you dont want to mod the rom and just add your fave radio/splash/spl. If thats all you want to do then recomplile using htcrt.exe in tools folder. OS .nb is what is extracted into OEM SYS and ROM folders in the kaiserkitchen. To add Packages put a folder called Packages in your kaiserkitchen and put your OEM Packages in it, then run KAISERKITCHEN.CMD chose option c then b. When Ervius build os +package tool opens,click the right tab and add rom(Add your kaiserkitchen folder,but make sure its on your desktop). You will then get a list of packages in the premade folder, just tick the ones you want to add to your rom. Once happy click build rom. Once done exit and KAISERKITCHEN.CMD should crack on by itself....then bring up a couple more apps(Rom Tool and Pagepool)just do what they say . every time you exit these apps KAISERKITCHEN.CMD will take you to the next step.

speaking of the htc rom tool, does anyone have a mirror for the latest version (1.1.1). it's not working on his site, and I 'm really interested in the command line support

Theres a new ROM tool????Anyone tried??
NEW IS GOOD!!!
Thank you so much for the clarification. I've also been trying to find a decent kitchen setup and the one made by Alex is the best one I've encountered so far but haven't really steered too far from his build. I have to agree that a new version of the HTC Rom Tool would be cool.

So if I'm understanding this correctly....in order to achieve a completely clean ROM without all the extra fixings I would simply need to use the os.nb file and not the os-new.nb file when cooking correct?
No, the only way to get a completely clean base is to use one someone made, or to manually remove extra oems from an uncorrupted rom (which usually means stock). os.nb is the donor imgfs, os-new.nb is the donor imgfs with your added pkgs.
The PPCkitchen.org kaiser kitchen is clean, and is way simpler to use. If you're trying to get to a clean base, do yourself a favor and just use it.
so... does this mean that if I use for say OEM HTC ROM, and put the os.nb in the base folder, when I build it using the tool, whatever packages I selected are simply added to whatever is on the OS.NB? I thought it would use the baserom as base and whatever apps installed on it are ignored. I guess I totally got it wrong then... So how do you strip out all the programs that have been installed in the baserom? Does this mean you have to dump the image?

I do know that in order to get the base OEM packages out of the main build you have to go through and remove and edit certain files to get it done right, which there is information in the Wiki about but haven't really had time to focus on it much. As for the PPCKitchen.org version of the Kitchen, I'm going to try it when I get home tonight because I'm at work currently. Gguruusa, you have to understand that some of us are new to the cooking community and want to be able to get our feet wet slowly and make sure we do stuff right instead of damaging our device. I've only got one Tilt and I don't want to completely destroy it. I would love to cook but need to be able to start off with a simple clean base rom with no extra ingredients and then go from there.

That's why ppckitchen.org was born. With ppckitchen.org, it's a point and click thing to build a rom. The mysterious part (making a kitchen base) is done for you. All you have to focus on is what packages you want to add.
You still have to unlock your device and install radios outside the kitchen, which is where people generaly brick their devices.

I shouldn't have any problems then seeing as to how I know that you need to have HardSPL installed and also to be sure to flash the radio AFTER the ROM in order to prevent bricking.
But that takes the whole fun out of cooking a rom when the base is already made for you...!!!
I will have to say my most challenging part is trying to get the base rom the way I like it in order to add whatever I want.
For example....
In my current kitchen I have deleted all of the OEMAPPS folders except the dsm file. I have then rebuilt all of my programs like the way a Diamond and Raphael ROM is....
In essence, If I was to just build my ROM without any packages it would be a clean rom without any software like camera, mms, phoneskins ect....
Its taken awhile thats why I have not published my newest rom yet...

I totally agree my favourite build was one that went wrong and nearly bricked my phone....sounds sick, but it was going back over what i had done and fixing that was the fun part. That ROM turned out to be possibly my most stable (Yardie 2.1.240) Ha ha i love cooking!!!

Bah. The fun of cooking is getting a ROM to look and feel like you want. Making a kitchen is entertaining when you haven't done it before, but it's really 99% repetition and 1% art.
Sorry for my English ...
I'm trying to learn how to build a kitchen and I followed the BEPE's guides perfectly but I have a problem:
When I use "NBHextract.exe" on "RUU_signed.nbh" the file that I get is "00_OS.nb" and not "OS.nb" as in BEPE's guide, same for the file "00_OS.nb.playload" has the same characteristics, and I know not explain why.
Also, I can not use in any way the "packagebuilder" tool to rebuild the "xip" folder because after having dumped "00_OS.nb.playload" the xip folder that I know, does not contain within it the file "*. dsm " essential to the operation of the tool.
can someone help me? (sorry but I translate before answering for now)
Thank you!
PS: other problem..
When I use "Dump_800" on "00_OS.nb" the files that I get are "00_OS.nb.playload", the IMGFS folder and the IMGFS.BIN.
This IMGFS.BIN was to be automatically erased at the end of the process of dumping, but strangely still active and has a size of about 63 MB, and in the prompt window, at the end of the process of dumping, i read this:
C:\xxxxxxxxxx\IMGFS.BIN
Access denied.
Where I wrong?
Thanx 4 all..

What rom are you trying to dump? if it is a custom rom....built by the new kitchen, it won't be dumpable. You will have to get a base from a chef or dump a factory rom.

I downloaded this "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship", which should be the Official HTC ROM for TYTN II (my device), but I have the same errors described in the first post using the BEPE's kitchen!
What do you mean by "You will have to get a base from a chef?
I do not believe that any chef would give me his base, should give me the entire folder containing the kitchen built! Or not?
sorry for my english...
I try to dump the various types of ROM, but I always make the same mistakes! I do not know how ... believe me I tried all possible solutions!
But I do not surrender ... sooner or later arrive at a solution! Even at the cost of start over with another kitchen!
How many kitchens are there? tell me if you know there are others beyond that of bepe?
I am having the same issue with Bepes kitchen - I have the official signed rom from Sprint for the Mogul and every time I try to use dump_800.bat on the OS.nb file, it fails and says access is denied...

There is KaiserKitchen by _Alex_ or KaiserChef by mbarvian and a few others - They both exist on the Wiki.
If the IMGFS.bin won't delete it's not that bad, just try and delete it afterwards.
If you are getting 00_OS.nb it might not be the orginal nbh you are dumping. I get 03_OS.nb when I dump the 3.34 HTC Kaiser ROM (which I rename to OS.nb before dumping). I also get 00_Unknown.nb, 01_SPL.nb 02_MainSplash.bmp (and .nb). Do you get any other nb files?
What the link for the ROM, and why are you using that one for the base? There are newer builds (like the 3.34).

There are a few tutorials on porting the SYS and XIP. The concept in bepe's kitchen videos is the same for the SYS in most kitchens (be aware of resolution and language specific files).
For the XIP, have a read around, there are many threads and tutorials on how to do it. But normally the XIP and SYS versions should match (or be very close).

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

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?
I have got the ROM Image Editor. I edit the nbh file of the ROM. I need to know how to add my cab files to the ROM so it gets installed automatically as I flash the ROM. This will help get things up running promptly with each new ROM I install.
Anyone can help ?
SASHIMI check my ROM thread for download if can't find....
already use Sashimi
I already have Sashimi 8.0 & I use it. But I see building the cabs within a new ROM in way that gets them all installed as I flash the ROM, would be great & fast.
I have the ROM Image Editor but I just don't know where to add the cabs within the ROM folders to reach the target.
Is there anyone who can help on this ?
Cooking
You're going to have to cook them into your ROM, which won't be in the form of .cab's any more. They'll be in EXT. And everytime you change roms, you'll have to extract whichever rom you dl, and recook it with the programs you want in there. SASHIMI is probably your best bet unless you feel like spending a lot of time on each and every ROM just so that when you flash it the programs are already in there.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm off base here, but it's probably not worth it for speed and ease issues.
Happy Flashing!

What ROM editor are you using? Perhaps htcRIE_0.5.0.12 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514 ?
If that´s the one you are using I don´t think is capable to do what you want, as drumboy said: Cooking is the way

Yes it is htcRIE_0.5.0.12. Do you know how to install the cabs in a ROM ?
Usually after a ROM is installed & during customization, some cabs appear in folder Volatile & are then installed. Can I place my cabs along those ?

Ok if you want to install it after flash, then you can do it a few different ways, like UC, XDA_UC or tom's autoinstall. But for all those you need to cook them in the ROM.
If you dont have it cooked in, then shashmi or programs similar to those will help.
You cant edit a ROM using htcRIE, in the sense add cabs and stuff, and recompile it to make it bootable in my opinion.
You can play with it and see! If the ROM is using runCC, then you need to add cabs, and mofify config_operator.txt file to add those cabs to execute in first boot.
Hope this helps.
