OK, so burn me if you'd like but for the past year or so everyone has been porting the Kaiser SYS and XIP to their devices... but with the recent release of the Diamond, Xperia and TouchPro builds it seems like us Kaiser users want to Port too!!!! So here is my problem
I am having issues right now for some reason as I am \porting the SYS from the Touch DIamond ROm. OS,OSFiles, Shell, .VM, changing the .VM with G'Reloc but for some reason the build # is not changing....WHY I HAVE NO IDEA
In a nutshell I am taking the Touch ROM SYS and replacing only the OS, OSFIles, SHell, .VM folders. THen I am running G'Reloc and entering the proper values. When I cook the rom for some reason it is not changing the build any idea.
I also have used BuildOS+packageTools4.b3 in order to do a XIP port??? I am clueless. I used to do this no problem but for some reason it is not working now???

why are you only bringing over those parts of SYS? take it all.
oh, and replace *DPI_192* from new source with *DPI_96* from kaiser original.
I did that but then the phone wouldn't work???? I dont know whats wrong, I have port other builds no problem but for some reason the new Xperia ROM and TOuch Pro are killing me....
I'll try once more before I whip my computer across the room

if you do what i said above, then g'reloc with original kaiser values, it should boot.
dont use .vm and .rom from kaiser original, use the new ones from new source but g'reloc will change values.
use original kaiser xip until you get sys working then do your xip.
also if you are using original kaiser xip then wincenls_wwe is in xip and doesnt have to be in imgfs. if you are using a cooked xip it may be missing and would be reason for no boot.
oh and on my device htc switched slot values around at a certain ver, i dont know if this is the case on kaiser. i have to match my new xip with new slot values for g'reloc.
in other words if youre using a kaiser wm61 xip from ROM version 3.00 then feed g'reloc the slot values you found in kaiser ROM version 3.00.
i am speaking from experience with your issue, i ported tons of builds then tried new diamond/xperia/etc and suddenly those didnt work with the method i was using previously
WEll all seems to be working now since I ported the whole SYS over... the device is booting fine and the phone is working too!!!
The only problem I have with the port is when the screen boots and gets to the green WM6.1 screen the start icon is in the middle of the screen and the top is blue???
Otherwise it all works fine after the green screen clears the icons are all where they are supposed to be. I didn't mess with this OEM folder where the welcomehead.96.bmp is so thats now confusing?

I've ported every new XIP build (Diamond, Raphael, and Xperia) to the Kaiser with "0" problems. All the way up to the newest 20270. Only replacing .VM in SYS.

SO you only ported the .VM? That isn't really a SYS port then is it?

Lol...
I think you took my statement backwards... Ported the entire SYS, all except the .VM. I have four devices all running Build 20270.
Let me rephrase so it's not twisted, they are all four running CE OS 5.2.20270 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
QUESTION since you all are having no issues here, every time I try and dump a diamond rom using the Diamond kitchen RecMode.exe stops working while its dumping the rom so I can't dump it Any hints or do I need to set attributes or anything like that? I am using Windows Vista maybe thats the issue here.
Also your just taking the .VM folder from the kaiser and putting it in the diamond and thats it it works fine? or put it in run G'rec?
I am using the KaiserKitchen to dump my rom. THough I had to rebuild my XIP and separate OEM and SYS for some reason...
I am dying for someone to update the Kitchen for the Kaiser. I am not familar with writting .bat files or I would try.
There is alot of newer programs that need to be implemented into the Kitchen
BuildOS+PackageTool is now 4.b3
HTCTool is newer
PackageTools is newer
I sent a PM to several master chefs but have not heard anything back....
The way that I ported the SYS is as follows....
1st, I dumped both ROMS I want to use. I name the folders accordingly on my C:/ Drive.... KaiserKitchen_BUILD and KaiserKitchen_TOUCHPRO (example)
After dumping both ROMS I make a folder on my desktop and name it NEWSYS. I copy all the files to my NEWSYS folder from the Dumped ROM Folders that I want. PRetty much everything except the .92 files (like stated earlier) after making my NEWSYS the way I want it, I cut my SYS from my KaiserKitchen_BUILD rom to my desktop and replace it with NEWSYS (remember to rename to SYS after copying)
Then I put G'Reloc in the Kitchen folder (same folder as the OEM,XIP,SYS,TOOLS,PACKAGE---main folder) and run it. Since I change the .VM I have to place my numbers back into and press "do it".
The SYS should be fine now.
Thanks buddy, Maybe dutty and his new crew did something to lock the rom down as his was the one i was trying to dump. I find what the other guy said about just changing out the .VM folder if thats the case porting roms couldn't be an easier!
I know it seems simple after I flashed my device like 20 times in the last two days.... now I want to figure out another issue about the blue bar with the start icon in the middle on the top of the green WM6.1 screen...

That depends on what rom your dumping... If it's a stock rom, you should not have this issue...

Same happened to me. I've ported SYS from Diamond, replaced all VGA *.192.* package folders with kaiser's QVGA*.96.*, build rom and flash. The result: it boots everything fine except it doesn't execute any .provxml so no shortcuts no activesync no execute .cabs.
Now the same ROM + OEM and switch back to older SYS: everything OK.
Tried to change .vm values and replacing shell.dll+shellres.dll: the same result. Any idea?

Hi All im a noob to cooking. So... I dumpbed the new official rom and used the cooking tutorial to cook my very first rom YAY. BUT when my titl boots it is WM6 not WM6.1 and a few other small issues like the boot screen not showing the verion number i changed it to. I used itsutils to dump and kaiserkitchen to cook. I have searched the forum but can't find anything. Pls help
WHy are you using itsutils to dump the ROM. Just extract the .exe rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and dump it using the kitchen....
Much easier and more fool proof this way.

Sounds like youve done more work than nessessary! Do like ryncppr said above, use the lastest pagepool patcher to change version number on boot. Don't know why you would want to though!
thank you ryncppr and yardie.spike.. That was just a small issue i wanted to change but the main issue is that the rom created from the kaiser kitchen is WM6 and not the new OS. What am I doing wrong?
[Cooking] Need Help Clearing out the bloatware
ok I solved the issue with the rom being WM6 and not 6.1. I just deleted the ROM, OEM and SYS folders and the os-NEW.nb file. Then I extracted the rom I dumped from the phone and I can now cook a 6.1 rom. BUT the issue I have now is all the bloatware is on there still with the software I selected during the cooking process. How can I remove all the software that came with the ATT rom?
[EDIT] Okay I have been messing around in the OEM, SYS and ROM folders...Is this the right place to remove the oem software and if so how do I go about doing it. I found, in the OEM folder, the EXEs for the shop stuff...can i just remove those or are there othere files I need to edit as well...pls help I just want to learn
OK for those wanting to cook their own rom from the ground up, below is a link to help with cleaning up the BaseROM.

Hey guys,
I am working on my first rom. After going through many readings from other sub-forum (hermes and kaiser) as well as Ivan's cooking class, I made my first rom using the Wing stock rom. After deleting un-used packages and files, I can sucessfully build the os.nb and converted it to .nbh file. But when I tried to flash it back to the wing, I got a error saying my RUU cannot used to flash the device, but I have been using this same RUU for many roms. I attached the screenshot, please take a look and help me debug it. It's my first rom Many thanks
go and try when you buld .nbh to set device "herald" but in section "version" write "test" not the numbers that are there by default.....
hope that helps.
Yep, looks like you didn't set it to Herald when you built it.
Thanks. You guys are right. I can flash my rom now. However, it stuck in the primary splash and does not response to the stylus. Any idea how to fix? Again, really appriciate any help.

This is part of the fun of being a cook, figuring out what mistakes we made.
There could have been 1 million different things you could have done that made it not boot up. It could have been something you removed or something you added. What kitchen are you cooking with? (It could also be that you didn't relocate all the modules if you're using something like hypercore.)

I am using hypercore. Can you point me to a reference to use hypercore or maybe an better kitchen for new cooks?
Either use G'Reloc for hypercore, or use Bepe's Extended Kitchen for the Herald. The latter option would be the best.
After re-doing the delete packages part, I got the rom flashed into my wing, booted, but nothing working. I mean windows started, top and bottom bars also loaded, but radio not working, nothing reponses. One thing, the screen seem to flicker a little bit. I notice the boot speed is super fast (really really fast) as in none of the hardware drivers is initialized at all. I am clueless as of this point. Any more help?
@Ivan:
Thanks man. Since I started with hypercore and kind of familiar with it already, I would like to stick with it. Can you show me how to use G'Reloc? Thanks
Just drop the file into your build folder and run it. (Assuming you're using a SYS folder that belongs to your phone.) Bepe's kitchen is great because it does a lot of fixing up for you automatically. It's not a competitor's kitchen, it's a MUCH newer kitchen. I use both. I use Hypercore to take Herald ROMs appart and for different tools in it and Bepe's kitchen to put my ROMs together (and a kaiser kitchen to take appart kaiser, diamond and other ROMs) and I also use my own kitchens which are mostly based out of Bepe's kitchens.
The whole boot speed and nothing working means that you deleted things packages you shouldn't have.
I run G'Reloc, but it ask for slot 1, slot 2, ... Do you mind explain them to me? I tried to just click "do it" with the default values, and it showed that it relocated 265 out of 368. I built the rom and flashed it to my wing, but it stuck in the boot splash now. Thank for the help
Those are taken from a folder in your SYS folder. It sounds to me like you deleted a lot of packages that are essential to WM6/6.1. You can't delete everything that SOUNDS like you don't use. Also, the SYS folder HAS to be from a Herald UNLESS you ported it. If you didn't port it, then the values on slot 1 and slot 2 will be wrong.
I followed your guide to take the SYS from the Kaiser's rom. Here's what I did. I run buildOS.exe, then I run G'reloc, then I run createROM.bat. Did I do it right?

Which guide? My guide? You run G'Reloc first and THEN buildOS, or else you're building the OS BEFORE fixing the files that you need to BUILD the OS.
The sequence part, I guess on my own. I meant I follow your guide on porting the SYS and XIP on lesson 4 and 5. I did not even try G'Reloc in the first place because I did not know I have to do it. Btw, thank again man, you're such a big help to me.
The reason why the guide was failing and I hadn't mentioned G'Reloc in the walkthrough is because the walkthrough was made for Bepe's Extended Kitchen. No problem with the help. I remember when I was learning, no one answered, so I figured I'd give something back.
working with OEM
Hey Ivan,
thank to your help, I was be able to cook some roms with the newer SYS and XIP build. During the process, just to learn how to port SYS and XIP, I borrowed your OEM folder (I copied the whole OEM folder form your JustMine kitchen). Now I learned how to port SYS and XIP and get them working, I want to play with my own OEM. Otherwise, I would not be cooking if I copied your OEM. Here what I did:
1) Since I can't find any base OEM folder for herald or wing here, I used hypercore to extract the OEM from the official stock Wing stock rom.
2) I copied the whole OEM without deleting junks (because it failed when I deleted stuffs before. So I want to ensure that I got the OEm working before start deleting stuffs) to bepe kitchen
3) build the rom
Here's what happen:
When i used the stock OEM, my wing can boot into WM, but it skip the screen align, setting timezone and setting password section. AFter that, it say my pout.exe (or something like that) and repllog.exe is currupted. The green light indicating the radio is blinking, but the radio doesn't pick up anytihing, said no service.
If I replace your OEM, everything works fine. So I test my OEM by building it with the stock SYS and XIP, it also works fine. Did I missed anything? Thanks for all your help, man.

You've got two options. RGU's and PROVXML's. You're better off setting up a package with an RGU that has all your registry keys. RGU's are nothing more than reg files. ^_^ And I'm glad it worked.
I think _Alex_ was the last to offer a kitchen and I think it's about time we had a new one. Everyone has their own needs and I know no ROM is perfect so here's my attempt to satisfy everyone.
I don't know if I'm going to have the time to answer everyone's questions and to help resolve all issues so I have to ask the community to please help out when you guys can.
Next, on with the thanks and I know I'm going to leave some people out so I apologize in advance. So thanks to these users for the tools and support we use to customize our phones:
-- kyphur, bepe, jerplea, jscepi, cmonex, alltheway, p1tater...
And to these people for helping me test and support my roms:
-- hang.tuah, dani31, -888-, idj1975, ecltech, kmfm$, rkrasny...
Here's what's included in the link:
OEM-3.29: my cleaned up OEM folder based off of 3.29 Dopod ROM
OEM-Packages: my packages created with help from XDA (see attachment for list)
ROM-20748: ported XIP from jerplea, OS.NB edited to show 20748
SYS-20748: ported SYS from jerplea, has 20212 components
SYS-Extras: entertainment (solitaire, bubble breaker), office, onenote, windowslive
And without further ado here's what you need to do:
1. Extract Kitchen.rar to the root of your drive (i.e. c:\ or d:\)
2. Extract OEM-3.29, ROM-20755, SYS-20755 to where you extracted Kitchen.rar
3. Copy packages you want from OEM-Packages to OEM folder
4. Copy packages you want from SYS-Extras to SYS folder
5. Cook and flash, see attached DK's Instructions doc if you need more help
NOTE: The contents of "OEM\OEMXIPKernel" are REQUIRED for cooking if you want your rom to boot
To get 2DManila working you will want to include from OEM-Packages the following:
-- 2DManila, Album, AudioBooster, AudioManager, CommManager, ConcurrenceMgr, VerionInfo, YouTube, Camera, Dshow, (me thinks that's everything)...You also need GoogleMaps.cab and OperaMobile (not included, search Dev&Hack for current version)
My Supa-Clean ROM always have the following:
-- ConcurrenceMgr, OutlookEnhancement, PictureEnhancement, RingtonePlugin, VersionInfo, StartupAnimationEngine, SymbolPad, DShow and mHub

Great. Really appreciate your gift.
Thank you very much indeed.
yay! Beautiful gift to our community
I will add it to my public share in few minutes...
I aim to please!
akadonny,
Thanks for sharing. Haven't done this in a very long time so maybe I'll give it go.
I downloaded your full 99mb Kitchen, and everything extracts fine. I've cooked up several ROMs so far, so I have a decent understanding of the process.
I apologize if this question has a simple answer, but I am having no luck, so here goes:
I want to use your 20748 build (you mentioned that 20753 has issues with SMS Threading) to update my NATF ROM series. Due to extensive customization I have done to my OEM folder, I would like to keep it as it, and so I extracted your ROM and SYS archives into my existing Kitchen folder. Now this is where it gets complicated...
I have tried using you Kitchen and Alex's Kitchen, both produce different results, and neither seem to work.
Using your Kitchen, the ROM appears to build fine, but OS.nb is nowhere to be found when HTC ROM Tool launches.
If I use Alex's Kitchen with BuildOS 2.7, then I get an error that it cannot find the ROM folder, but after clicking OK, everything builds as normal. However, after flashing the new ROM, my Tilt sits at the initial splash with R G D and will not go any further.
If I update the BuildOS in Alex's Kitchen to 4.3, everything builds correct and the ROM flashes OK, but UC does not run, File Explorer has an AT&T icon for some reason, and Manilla does not work.
--Ultimately, here is my question--
I want to keep the customizations that I have made to both AT&T Official 6.1 ROM (3.57) and HTC's Official WWE (3.28), but I want to use a newer OS build.
Is there a very special/exact combination of things I need to do in order to achieve this?
Thank you for absolutely any insight you can provide.
@NATF- have you tried mbarvian's Kitchen? I have been using his for awhile now trying to get a decent fully stripped rom....It's pretty decent.
@akadonny- sorry for me to tell him it. I will try yours out too...thanks again for your kitchen. Great if added to Wiki...

I tried this one also...
I must be doing something wrong since these kitchen's can't all be incompatible with the 20xxx builds (can they?), but I can't seem to figure it out.
notatreofan,
You should be able to combine your OEM with any ROM and/or SYS. If you run through the kitchen I provided you will need to look for os-new.nb as that is the file that is created. I may be wrong, but I think you need Windows Script 5.6 or something like that. Also, the kitchen needs to be run from the root of a drive so the folder structure looks something like:
C:\Kitchen\OEM
C:\Kitchen\ROM
C:\Kitchen\SYS
After you run !COOK.cmd and it finishes you will have a os-new.nb in your C:\Kitchen folder. Sorry if I'm not understanding correctly. I hope this solves your issue.
All - I removed the 20753 ROM and SYS and added 20755 ROM and SYS

Thank you for your answer. I could swear this is what I was doing, but I've tried so many things that I cannot remember... I'm going to try this method (again?) now, and I'll report back.
i have the same problem
i put your kitchen d:\Kitchen
after inside there the FOLDER sys and rom from 20755 and oem from 3.29
i push the cook
flash the new rom
and after splash screen with R,G,D no respond
My problem continues also.
I can cook successfully if I use the included OEM folders, but mine still causes a freeze at boot.
Plus my packages don't cook in properly using your Kitchen either. I put all of my packages in the OEM folder like your instructions say, and I can see BuildOS processing them, but I know that they're not being integrated because the resulting RUU_signed.nbh file is 28MB too small.
I try now the older 20748
and all working grate
in ABOUT screen have the new number of OS and Build
ACADONY you must test the 20755 again
something going wrong with it
also i can inclunding package with you rom
and your package don't working with alex kitchen

I am having the same problem at NATF....any ideas????
No preblems at all with 20748... about cooking...
The one big problem at this moment is that I don't get connection trough my provider/operator.
Through ActiveSync and wifi, programs like PIE and RSS Hub works but not via G, E, 3G or H.
It has connection, I mean G, E, 3G or H are visible (depends area wich one) and there is coming an another smaller icon of the four icons but no connection with an error... ;(

the 20748 is only one who working.. but activesync running on backround
20755 stack on splash screen
20753 when flash it start the boot loader screen and say something for error in core try again
For those getting stuck at the bootloader with 20755. Check to make sure that wince.nls is either in the ROM\XIP folder or as a package in SYS. This is a known problem with ROM's that hang at the splash screen. This may not be the case here, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I'm downloading 20755 now. I'll see what I can do.

you found any solution?
i try to night your tip!!
tell us if you found something
-EDIT-
this tip not working
Hi all,
Perhaps it is a newbie question so please bear with me.
I have an i-mate K-Jam flashed with TNT rom (build 20273). It works perfect and nice, however (frankly speaking) I don't like or want some of the APPs installed with this ROM, but I can't uninstall them.
I've searched this forum to find a way to extract the OS (OS only) from TNT rom so that I can flash my wizard and then install all the APPs I want, with no luck. Perhaps my search skills are a little poor...
So would someone please explain if it is possible or not? and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
You cannot remove apps from a cooked rom. Search for Vanilla roms if you just want the base rom without any extras and then you can install you own apps.
well you can, but for that u'll have to dump the ROM first, remove the apps you dnt like and recook it
you can not dump the TNT roms. when you try, there are no RGU'S or DSM's.
You can dump my rom if you like, but you will get some missing files you will have to put back into the oem.
the missing files come from me not editing the rgu's when I cook.
try dumping Hornet5. for the most part you will get complete packages, but also some "missing files". just put them back into the oem/sys and recook.
Thanks for info. Saved me a lot of time.
I finally managed to cook my own rom. Everything works perfect except that:
1) I've used XIP, SYS and OEM files/folders of different builds. Am I going to have problem later?
2) "CommManager.exe" was missing. I've searched the files used in kitchen and the only thing I found is "commmanager.htm". Later I managed to download and install HTC CommManager but I can't assign in to its button (button 6). Is there any solution for that?
3) How may I extract the "splash screen" from one build, and upload it to my phone?
4) Bluetooth is not working. It says there is no bluetooth hardware on device. Also WLAN disconnects after a few seconds. How may I extract the drivers from original ROM and upload it?
I know the above questions are too much, but actually I'm so excited that my first attempt to cook a rom was successful (almost). I hope one of you experts be kind enough to help me solve the above issues and have a perfect phone.
Thanks in advance.
you will have some problems with the initflashfiles.dat in the oem, as well as the "oemtranslation.prvxml" or something which controls your icons for programs and control panel.
The best thing to do is use the same build OEM SYS & ROM folders.
If you dumped hornet 5, then your best bet ist to work with everything in it. I was working at this rom after Sleurhut for about a month or two.
mixing builds of those folders makes you start from scratch again fixing up your oem again.. and again.
as far as the missing files, try using the Xdump method; or use the searcher on your PC to find the missing files folder and the contents.
Dear S.V.I
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and help.
As I've mentioned before, I'm a total newbie trying to have a clean WM6.1 on Wizard. I've searched and read lots of tutorials here and there, but there are still lots of questions remained.
I tried to play with HyperCore (multi-device) today and I failed in the first step. I've extracted the "nk.nbf" from official i-mate KJam ROM using WinRAR. HyperCore is installed and I've a "C:\Core" folder as well as a "HyperCore" folder on my desktop.
The "DumpRom" is asking me to make sure the "nk.nbf" is in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" folder. Well it is there. Press Enter and the error message says: "There is no nk.nbf in Core\Extract\Source".
No it is not. First, it asked me to put it in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" not "Core\Extract\Source". Second, there is no "Extract" folder under "C:\Core". Even after creating Extract\Source under C:\Core and copying nk.nbf there, the same error message appears again.
So, what I'm missing here?
Same
I'm also scratching my head on this problem too. I've even tried creating extract\source folders in locations C:\core\ and desktop\hypercore\ but still no luck.
I'm wondering however that the issue could be caused by vista/7's change from Documents and Settings\user\desktop (2000, XP) to Users\user\desktop.
It may change the way the batch files are called but i'm really rusty on batch commands these days
I would start with the sticky "How to cook a ROM" thread, focusing on CRACING's kitchen, then move to Nekid Angel (Post #3)
where you will find a more updated ROM ready to cook. If you want to try WM6.5 a good ROM and kitchen is at [WM Kitchen] Wizard Kitchen or CRACING's RC6. I have been playing around with that.
You might move your discussion to one of the cooking or kitchen threads mentioned above, too, since that is where others will look.
Perfect
That's what i was looking for thanks for the heads up N2rjt!
