Alex v5.2 won't install

I have Alex V5.1 already on the phone. I tried to update to the new one and every time I click on the program it says,
"There is no application associated with Alex.v52.etc... Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
I read through the Alex post and didn't find anything. The search feature on this site seems to give you a thousand post you have to read totally, or nothing. I spent 2 hours last night trying to figure it out and don't have anymore time. I know I'm making a simple noob mistake, but someone PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks!

What is the complete name of the file that you are executing that gives you that message?

Perhaps I forgot to include KaiserCustomRUU.exe with one of my ROMs. You'll need this to install any .NBH file. You can find it in the ROM Tools section of the wiki, which is linked on the wiki or on the sticky.
In the future, please post to an existing thread.
Hope this helps!

I have a very high post response rate in my threads, I'd even dare say 90%+. So no need to worry about lost threads.
As for your current dilemma, I always post my ROMs as .RAR archive files. You'll need to download and install WinRAR (Shareware), 7ZIP (Freeware) or my personal favorite, ZipGenius (Freeware), to uncompress the .RAR file before running KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
All of this can be found on google.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Alex! You are the man! I didn't have to do all of this with the other rom, so I didn't think to look through the wiki. Works great now! Still playing with it, keep up the good work!

Well I guess my meeting took to long and _Alex_ took care of you. I thought it was a RUU or .rar file issue that is why I asked for the specific name of the file.

Rom content and kitchen

Hi all,
please anyone can post a short reference for a rom newbie to:
- retrieve content (.cab) from existing rom
- how to cook a new rom (or simply modify an existing one).
I've read some threads but it's difficult for me to find a simple method (a lot of tools and a lot of steps).
If anyone with more experience can simply post some link to specific threads would be great.
Thanks in advance.

You can't really retrieve cabs from Roms ... but you can extract the files necessary for any given application.
If you want to cook your own rom, do a search on here for a tutorial made by ITJE that tells you what to do step by step.

Its not simple. I think after you learn and try you will have much respect for the cooks that are on here.

Where can I download Ervius Package Creator?

The rapidshare address I found in OEM Package Tutorial is not available.

1st of all ... WHAT THE HECK IS "Ervius Package Creator" ???
2ndly ... you don't just create a new thread out of the blue just because you desperately need something and forget about etiquette !!!
I don't do mind reading !!! ... and if you asked a pointless/stupid question without any info whatsoever !!! ... you are getting one same pointless/stupid answer back !!!

To be completely honest, I don't mind this question. I think maybe you should search for the creator by name, Envirus, but the pakage creator is also a part of the kitchen. So either get th ewhole kitchen, go to Hermes forum, the thread there has valid links or I believe it is also in the main xda development & upgrading thread.

Where are you from? Please be polite.
1. If you know kaiser cooking kitchen and read OEM package tutorial, you should know what's "Ervius Package Creator"
2. What's pointless question? I just ask a software download address. I searched in the forum. Do you think I'm stupid like you? Do you know everything when you come to the world? YOU are really stupid.

I have been looking for this also, the thread his tools normally live in is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320504
However the tools are not there at the moment, if you read on the last page he says he is having some file hosting problems. I was looking mainly for his updated version of buildos.
Best thing to do i think is just subscribe to that topic and wait for an email, that is what i am doing.
Alternatively if you go to ALexs Cooking Kits on the Kaiser Wiki and download alexs kitchen tools package creator is contained in the kitchen tools zip file,.

Cooking my own basic rom

Hi All,
first of all, so sorry if that i am asking for has already been discussed in any other thread.
I had read a lot of posts last two weeks with the purpose of understanding how to cook my own rom. Then, I've tried some distinct kitchens as well and had some success dumping existing cooked rom and modifing them by removing or adding packages to my convenience, just for test and practice.
Now, there something I don't understand how to do it: Can I build a rom based on XIP and SYS? I mean, my idea is to build a basic rom w/o any kind of modification or addicional packages. Then I could be able to dumped it, add all packages I'd like... it's to say "to cook".
So is it possible to create a rom only from SYS and XIP files? I've found this fantastic collection but don't know how to exploid it.
Here there are fantasics cookers, I'm really impressed by the job they do cooking roms. I hope you could give me some help to become a good cooker.
Thanks IA

What you will need to do is strip the OEM folder of all the programs you don’t want, including registry settings.
You will need to keep the OEMDrivers folder intact, or the Phone simply won’t function.
However tedious this task may be, in the end you get what you want.

Here is what I do (or try to do)
I've got SYS folder and Xip.bin, in this case the OS 5.2.20755 ones.
First, I extract Xip.bin with the Xipport Tool (dump Xip.bin, make packages and copying manually files and modules to a ROM/XIP folder
Then I paste both SYS and ROM/XIP folders at their place in the HyperCore kitchen (the best kitchen i've tried at the moment)
Finally I launch build os function, and here is the error!!!! Can't find the file c\....\hypercore\build\temp\BaseApps\imageinfo.bin
What am I doing wrong?
Yeah, probably I don't really understand what I am doing, and maybe I am skipping steps.
Someone could help me understanding the complete process? Please!!!

Please, someone.
Even I have the same problem.

Anyone have the links? They would be very useful thanks!

Here you go the entire kitchen, you just need to put any ROM in zip format and rename it to rom.zip or ROM.zip and throw it into the original_update folder. Then run the menu script and then select 1 to extract the ROM.
