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.

UPDATE: I am posting a revised version of this kitchen because I noticed the version I uploaded had some nonworking buttons and I noticed lots of silly mistakes when I went back to the source code. I also have added a lot of exception handling. I also realized that by batch file doing the dumping had some errors.
Autosculpt 1.00 BETA REVISED
This is another ROM kitchen based off of bepe's PKGTool and BuildOS, uses Tadzio's improved IMGFS tools, and incorporates some simple Visual Basic code.
What you can do with this release:
Create a dump and make packages using PKGTool
Add/Remove packages
Create splashscreen, HTC Logo, and startup screen
Add splashscreen, HTC logo, and startup screen
Set all components of rom to one location for easy access to build (for lazy people like me who don't want to go searching)
(When this thing is finally released, G3 and G4 flashing support will be enabled)
Since the kitchen is still in its beta, I have disabled to option to flash the ROM to the device.
WARNING: I am not responsible for a bricked device if you choose to go ahead and flash the ROM to the device by starting up the RUU manually!
Last but not least, credit goes to bepe, maimach, tadzio, the-equinoxe for their tools that were used in this kitchen. Also, I thank Faria, mUn, mfrazzz, anichillus, Molski, and countless others who have directly/indirectly helped me understand about ROM cooking.
LINK for kitchen: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
The update files are attached along with a readme to tell you where to put them
hmm waiting 4 this...
for an update, has anyone able to do anything with the kitchen at all? i'm guessing it doesn't work though...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I never saw anyplace to download this in your first post. Just a description. I figured you were uploading and then forgot about this until you just replied...
oh sorry, I was hoping you would post a request in this thread. i just wanted to know who was going to try it. NEW LINK: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
as of now, i know that only nothin and badbert have it. if anyone is trying it, please post in this thread.
Wondering if anyone was successful in building a ROM file using this kitchen if you've had the time.
Feedback of any type is appreciated!
Anyone?
Anyone have any type of feedback? I'm kinda banking on that before I make a final release. I understand though if you don't have the time to test this.

I tried to download with that link and it gives me a rar file that does not open or contain anything. Any way to upload it to sendspace or to rapidshare
same here. the file is 1k i was looking forward to this.
my dreams were crushed
No luck with the upload link
I too got a very small file that was not in any particular format.
kernelguy
Sorry. I didn't know. Uploaded to sendspace. Link provided in previous post and and first post. Weird how lots of things I upload have problems with them!
Kitchen Updated!
Updated program and dump batch file located in first post. Most exceptions are now handled and buttons work properly. All batch files are now running in hidden mode.
Feedback please!
Any feedback? I'm not releasing this 'till I'm sure that it works for other people too.
Please, if you have time, give me some feedback on this program. I've also stopped my GUI aWizard project because I want to finish this one first.
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.
Hi guys. I have flashed many great roms from xda to my Kaiser but I am keen to make my own...
I have done allot of reading through the rom cooking wikis and watched the screen casts for the Kaiser Kitchen program. But I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with.
The first relates to the latest roms that members of this forum are using to construct their latest builds. No one seems to be using the roms in Alex's Megaupload folder so should I disregard those roms, oem packages and seek the latest roms that are being used on xda If so are these roms available for download prior to customization on this forum? I have used the search function but cant find them.
Ive noticed that people are porting roms from other HTC devices for use with the Kaiser? Is this something I will need to do to make a latest os build?
Also is there one location for all the latest apps like opera 9 camera drivers ect for me to cook into a rom?
I have many more questions but ill save them for next time. I am sure questions like this get asked all the time so ill be greatly appreciative of anyone that can help.. Cheers..

you can use the newer builds that are available here at xda. plus you can download official builds from htc and than use the official build as your base and modify, tweak and improve it.

not necessarily the latest os build. Reasons roms are ported from other devices is to take advantage of the features available on those roms that don't exist on our official or standard rom. check out this tutorial on porting sys and xip:

depends on what you are looking for. Here are some of the opal cab/packages compiled by mbarvian:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430354
I don't think they are all in one location but most of them are all available here at xda for you to cook in. You have to do a little bit of hunting and scavaging Just don't forget to credit whoever created the cab/package you use
Good luck.
Thanks for your help thesire

So by this you mean download a latest build I can find, flash it and then dump it from my phone and customise it in the kitchen? Or is there some tool that will extract the os from the rom without having to flash?
Thanks again

You need to download a cooking kit, not just a kitchen, unless you build your own. They usually include OEM Folde, SYS Folder, etc...
For a noobie migh I sugest PPCKitchen.org where you'll find the PPCGeeks KaiserKitchen.
There are also a few screen shot videos by DoctaJay. They are available in the wiki & in the start here thread.

Which ROM did you dump? Depending on the way it was cooked, you might not be able to get OEM and SYS files in tact. Find a ROM that was cooked with all dsm and rgu files, then you will be able to dump and create packages.
Kaiserchef is also a very good kitchen for beginner chefs. It runs each .bat in order automatically. All you have to do is download the kitchen, put the stock rom you want to dump in the base rom folder and run the runme.bat. Select use the rom in base rom folder as base and it will extract it. Packages are all over the forum. Just rember that camera and dialer packages are sometimes device specific so be sure to read up. I have some oems in my 4shared and starbase64 has almost any oem you could ever want in his 4 shared. just do a search for starbase64 and click on his 4share link in his sig.
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Downloaded Kaiserchef.. Looks like a cleaner or newer version of Kaiserkitchen?
Ok, downloaded Version5.9RRE20748manilla.rar rom from aruppenthal's 4shared folder as it seems like this is the latest build I can find and I want to build a rom based on the latest build.
Followed the steps in Kaiserchef and it extracts the SYS, ROM folders but the OEM folder remains empty I downloaded a rom package from Alex's megaupload folder, but if I use that ROM folder from Alex's rom it will be an older OS I'm building correct? Where would I find the latest?
And can someone kindly explain what the ROM, SYS and OEM actually folders do.
Thanks guys

If you want to cook it get the rom from my 4 shared that has this name
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2.rar
Mine (Version5.9RRE20748manilla.rar rom )has no oem folder because after v5 i started combining dsms which makes it lose the oem.
Here is my kitchen for anyone who knows how to cook etc, I will try and help as much as I can, but there are plenty of guides around if you search.
As always I take no responsibilty if you wreck your device, ensure you have hspl etc etc

You shouldn't have removed the link (it is still in my reply if anyone wants it). I published my kitchen to be used/modified by everyone, but It you make it public, you should said what parts are your work and what parts are taken from someothers.
Now days there are many tools that made easy to build custom roms.
1. Apktool
2.notepad ++
3. 7zip
4.Java
And many more stuffs needed to build a rom. But some problems still come up.
After building the rom many people faced and I also faced this problem. We need to make a flashable zip.
Ok. So now u have to make a meta inf folder then write the update scirpt. Ok that was easy . Then what with that update binary. How we are gonna make that. I am asking this questions to exprience developers. Cause thats what everybody face.
Then come with the deodex time. Many tools I found but I found one word error. So what will be best tool to deodex the rom?
Hope this questions will be answered. It may help starter level developers to work.
If u like this post don't forget to thanks.
