Hello,
I follow several instruction to create a backup of CHT ROM before flash WWE ROM or cook WWE + Chinese support ROM.
The ROM is not test because I am afraid brick my device. Is there any expert here can tell how could I recover from brick if the CHT ROM won't boot?
I think it can follow pof's instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334678
But what if the CHT ROM already damaged?
Base on procedure below, is my ROM working?
In short, my procedure is as below:
1. Create dump of ROM by use pdocread.
2. Get part02.raw
3. Get RUU_Signed.nbh from Cooked ROM and use NBHextract to get 03_OS.nb
4. Run (from Imgfs v2) NBDumpKaiser.bat to dump ROM
5. I don't add/remove item at the moment because want to get complete original ROM
6. Run NBBuildKaiser.bat to build 03_OS.nb
7. Use Dark Simpson tool to create RUU_Signed.nbh
8. Replace RUU_Signed.nbh in Cooded ROM at 3.
Thanks a lot in advance. And hope to contribute soon.

anyone pls give some hint. thanks
kfluk,
I want Chinese support as well, but I want to keep the original rom for warranty and so on. But I am thinking of installing CE-Star V2.8 - would that not be sufficient for you? It gives trad/simp chinese, Japanese, pinyin and 7 other input methods, should be fully integrated in WM5/6 ...
CE-Star add additional overhead to the system. WM6 itself is MUI enabled, just add corresponding language will allow it display different language.
I planned to make few version of ROM when original ROM backup work.

Hi Kfluk,
You sound like an expert to me already. At least, you know what you are doing with those "professional tools" to due with those nbh files.
I bought my Kaiser in Hong Kong, and I dumped the ROM into 4 different RAW files. I flashed my Kaiser with the HTC standard english ROM, and it works terrific for me. To support Chinese, I use CE-Star. It works fine to me me cause I don't always use Chinese. Yes, with CE-Star activated, the performance seems slower. I am trying to find a way to deactivate it if I don't need it.
With the 4 RAW files, I am finding a way to make it a executable file so that if I need to restore, I have a much simplier way. If you happen to know how to do it, please let me know.
I think I have a complete Chinese dump ROM from my Kaiser, if you want a copy, please let me know.
Hey guys,
I am not an expert and I can't give any advices...I just SPLed my CHT device and flashed to English already.
I do believe that there will be some CHT ROMs in the future.
Cheers,
I own a Tytn II and extract raw ROM out and re-package to a ROM image. While not brave enough to test it with my device.
I cannot test it until I am sure how to recover from brick when the ROM is not working.
There are many expert here provide a lot of information for rebuild a ROM. I think it should able to find out how to recover from brick.
Will test this procedure soon.

ey man, you must be care to have HardSPL (don't use SSPL) to unbrick your Kaiser if the flash goes bad....
Second one, the process you describe to get a ROM from dumped raw files is good (you don't need to dump the ROM for backup purpose), you can see this other one i post yesterday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066 to compare with yours.
Regards.
I am using ATT tilt now, but I want to flash original HTC kaiser english Rom which does not support chinese(T/S), is there anyway you can put chinese code plugins into HTC kaiser english rom?
I am a newbie on WM phone, so i want to hear more from you guys who want to keep original kaiser english ROM and want it supports (T/S)chinese input without cestar.
Yes.. anyone can use the part02.raw to create a chinese cab? I've seen somebody did that on other device before. By the way, CE-star is great to just viewing chinese in WM6, but if you try to write, it will screw up and need to soft-reset.
hi jcespi2005,
I already flash HardSPL to my kaiser for preparation.
but if my CHT ROM not working after flash. is it mean I can recover with HardSPL? or use MicroSD flash method? I stopped because can't find recover method.
My ROM is unlock CHT version from HTC. So I want to backup in case need return for repairing. I have a question, why do you think I don't need backup ROM?
For the ROM re-construction. I read your post and many other for reference when I start learn how to cook ROM.
thanks for your work and comments.
hi ronan_zj,
To add chinese sip, pls read this thread. It describe how to use CHT input in WWE ROM.

Hello L8,
The re-constructed ROM has some problem. After flash, it does not boot correctly. I am using WWE ROM now. Will try to figure out what's wrong.
kfluk
Taiwan CHT rom dump is required...
Despretly need a CHT rom of a Taiwan Kaiser... Can somebody who owns Kaiser from Taiwan dump the rom ? and provide the parts of a complete Rom Dump?
I bricked my device and it is unlocked and I need a Taiwanies rom to recover.
DIY: The ROM Kitchen for Pharos
base on Pharos Official ROM 1.11.707.1
(Click to enlarge)
I have released a ROM Kitchen for Pharos at PDA Mobiz month ago.
Since there is somebody asking for a kitchen, I think it may be useful to post it here too.
This kitchen was created from the Pharos Official ROM 1.11.707.1 which I have already posted here.
(Click to enlarge)
DIY was created to be a clean and very flexible kitchen; it has not been optimized for speed.
By the way, I haven't said that it is not fast.
What do you need?
An Official ROM; you need to extract OS.nb to be used with DIY.
I haven't included it in DIY because I want to reduce size of file needed to be downloaded.
You also need an Official ROM if you had trouble flashing your device, just in case.
To download: Visit Pharos Official ROM 1.11.707.1 Thread.
pof's NBHExtract; you need it for extracting above Official ROM.
To download: Visit NBHextract: Extract contents from NBH files Thread.
DIY; Download: DIY-1.11-1.0.rar from RapidShare (55MB).
Setup the DIY
The DIY can be extracted and placed any where on your computer, no matter it is XP or Vista.
You just need .Net 2 ...
After that, use NBHExtract to extract the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Official ROM.
You will get a file call 04_OS.nb along with few others.
Rename the 04_OS.nb to OS.nb and place it under ~\DIY\Build\ROM folder.
(Click to enlarge)
How to build ROM?
Well, there are three batch files;
1.BuildOS.bat, you can choose OEM(s) you would like to include in your build.
2.CreateOS.bat.
3.htcROMTool.bat.
And it is as easy as 1-2-3.

thank you a lot!

and I have a question, how can I translate the ROM in another language (chinese)?
I would like to get a english rom and translate it in chinese.
China ROM
Well, I have never worked with any ROM other than WWE.
If I were you, I would extract ROM again from Official Chinese ROM. I think I saw some of them in this Pharos forum.
yeah, but the CE OS and the build versions of chinese official rom is so old, I don't like it
Seems that Chinese rom is different form wwe...
but i just wanna ask how can i make a "start pic" rom only
Why there is not so much guys use pharos
How can I add other Tools to be cooked straight into the ROMs, like Advanced Configuration 3.1?
Also, how can it be translated to German?
must be very difficult
but i also think i saw same german roms in this forum
Hi there,
is it possible to create a German WM 6.1 ROM with DIY? I already cooked some ROMs for testing, but I wasn't able to change the language.
As base for my tests I used:
Pharos_WWE_ROM_5.2.20270_19960_.by.poldo
and
Original German ROM, which was dumped here in another thread
There is this directory:
\Build\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409
So do I have to replace the files in there? But where can I find the German language files?
Another thing: DIY comes with some tools that I can cook into the ROM. But what if I want to cook e.g. Advanced Config 3.1, which is not included by default in DIY?
i have no idea ... wish i could help because id like to know how to do a rom in dutch.. and the other question is also very valid! how do we cook in an application?
Hi all
I want to build a french WM6.1 rom
but I don't know how I must do?
there is 2 different way :
- translate poldo's or tom's rom in french. HOW?
- build my own rom with WM6.1... does Just changin SYS fiolder is good?
thx
...no, you must work with the OEM folder too
Pratically you need to change all MUI files (0409=eng) with french (040c), but its not a good metod for me and its difficult to find a "dumpable" not-official ROM... try to dump Tom codon's Pharos ROM and tell me what happens...
The best way for the SYS folder is to port it from another device... there is a great tool called g'reloc for relocation modules in according to your device, so you can dump a wm6.1 official french ROM from Diamond and port the SYS folder to your Pharos
For OEM folder you need to dump your original ROM
I suggest you to read carefully some tutorial on how to port SYS folder and how to dump your original ROM
bye
thanks for your great answer
Hello there,
anyone tried to change WM6.1 to german or another language?
Actually, I work with the "OpenTouch"-roms. Many thanks for this. These are amazing roms!
I'm able to translate the Manila2D plugin. I attached this file. This file imports a translated 0409.mui. This works great!
When I import *.0407.mui-Files I'm not able to run the Phone Dialog, the contacts Dialog or the SMS-Dialog. This also happens when I rename the Manila2d.0409.mui into Manila2D.0407.mui. After that I change through registry the language to 0407.
The import of this Files are also attached. I try also every not existing 0407 file, which is there as 0409, to 0407.
I have the same issue => I cannot run phone,- contacts and SMS-dialog.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: OpenTouch 7.3.1 works great without modifications!
pls help me
I try to extract the *.mui files from WM6.1 and I copy these to windowsfolder the next reboot the system is rebooting again and again.
Could anyone help me?
The German rom is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420008

You can not recook herald roms since they are protected.
There are no rgu files include so the rom will not work when you try to recook them.
If you want a german version, please pm me and as time allows I can cook one for the german folks,
hi,
i would be very pleased, too!! the new open touch rom is great, but in a german version it would be gorgeous.
greets
The open touch rom in German would be breath-taking, I agree!!

What a offer! WOW! Would be great!
i would be very pleased, too!!
Since ttran is on his deserved holiday, this strategy should work as well to generate a largely german (or other) ot7.x phone (Manilla2D):
download the german file in the manilla 2D language thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432965
Copy all the unzipped files to the windows folder (this will overwrite the english language in 409 with the 407 information without needing to change the registry). Works nicely for me.
tested?
Hi,
does anyone already tested this strategy? I have no time at the moment to test and in case of brick take some hours to restore everything.
