[Q] samsung epix rom - General Questions and Answers

since most posts about samsung i907 epix are now burrowed under so many other threads. i wanted to start a new one.
to start, i wanted to request for a link to the latest cooked rom for the samsung i907 epix.
that would be either the latest 6.5.x build or just the best rom for the epix for you.
in connection to that. i would also like to ask for a tutorial on flashing/installing such rom.
i hope someone could help me out here.
thank you in advance.

[KIT] [Samsung SGH-i617] 02/17/2009 - nhathoa WM6.1 Kitchen

Hi guys,
If you want to make your own Rom for your i617, just follow these steps:
1. Get these runtimes and install on your PC (Windows XP): vcredist_x86.exe and NetCF 2.0
2. Get the the kitchen: [SamSung i617] kitchen, then extract to any where you want.
3. Get the original AT&T WM6.1 for i617 (only OS part), then put into BaseBin folder in the kitchen: The original Rom AT&T WM6.1 for i617 only OS file (pda.bin)
4. Now let you start to make the kitchen work:
- Run Dump [pda.bin].cmd then wait to complete.
- Get the file: initflashfiles.dat, then put into OEM\OEM_Lang_0409
Done. Now you can cook anything you like, after cooking, just run Build [pda.bin].cmd to rebuild the new Rom (in RomUpdate folder).
There is a guide to update Rom in the Attatchment.
But note that:
- Maybe some of PCs have some problems (cause virus or any reason), it can't show full hidden files. Just install fresh Windows XP again to fix it.
- To port the newer version of build, let you have to learn Here
And the last, I did sell my SamSung i617 to change a new toy
Sorry for my bad English.
Good luck.
Thanks for the kitchen, downloading now
Update clean Rom. See attachment at post #1.

Let me try with i600 on my kitchen. But I haven't got i600 device.

I did try with i600.
My kitchen work fine with samsung i600 .
Nhathoa,
Can you upload your i600 WM6.1 image somewhere? I tried to cook it but didn't work (yet). It would really mean a lot if you can upload a working rom.
Thanks!

There was someone willing to use his device to test WM 6.1 ROM. I dunno how cooking etc works, but it would be awesome, if someone can try to bring this to i600
Good work nhathoa!
Hopefulle someone can try to cook a succesfull i600 WM 6.1 ROM!
i dont recommend using greloc in i607.. as for i600 it might be the same.. the problem is when you use greloc, the camera software will malfunction

Exactlly. The g'reloc.exe can't relocate resover module, but if you skip g'reloc and edit some module, device not boot. Thanks for your report.
More: Did you port build 20282 from ROSE? I did port full XIP and SYS, Free Ram on boot is 83Mb, but low speed, not smooth.
resover is not needed..
porting htc sys should be ok.. but its too much trouble if you want a perfect stable rom
Does anyone upgrade my clean Rom? Is there something wrong?
Hi!i dont understand how i can install the rom on a i600..how can i cook a rom for my i600??"BaseBin\pda.bin" where i can find it?
I CANT BRING THE GPS WORK WITH UR CLEAN ROM,ROLL BACK 2 ORIGIN NOW..
THX FOR UR TOOLS, HOPE FOR UR NEW ROM NOW.
I have tried the kitchen, and dump is ok.But it makes some errors when building . I tried to only run buildos, but failed!
It seems that an older version could run correctly, which I used in a X51v kitchen. So does it need some other files? like .net 3.0 or 3.5. I just installed a 2.0 version

Original Windows Mobile 6.1 Port

Hi,
My name is Baron. I own a HTC P4350 PPC. I was wondering if there is any port of the Original WM 6.1 version for the Herald without any customizations. I have been trying different versions of each cook's 6.1 versions but I don't know. I like them but I guess I like things to be original lol. I really like the TouchFLO, its awesome. But if there is anyone who can help me out or even let me know how to aquire 6.1 and teach me how to port it would be nice. Maybe I can be a cook or something. But I guess that would need the help of all of you. I am familiar with flashing Heralds at the moment and of course last year I was flashing Motorolas with Motorola's custom OS not the ones with WM. Anyway thanks for your time and I hope I can be seen as a cook around here or something. Oh, don't forget about the original WM 6.1

There was never an original WM6.1 for the Herald. You'll have to cook your own ROM using a WM6.1 base and port it using a stock 6.0 Herald ROM without any kind of customizations except for a lot of the customizations needed to fix all the bugs that will arise from simply sticking both bases together. The original ROM tends to be slow and buggy, though... What about the original ROM do you like? There might already be a ROM that has those features.
Thanks for your fast response. I knew there was never a actual 6.1 release for the Herald, I was just wondering if anyone ported the original release to work with a Herald. But with what you said about it being buggy, I never thought about that but I guess that would make sense, but I have seen some custom ROMs with 6.1 and flashed them myself to see how it would work and these 6.1 versions were not bad at all, especially with TouchFLO. So I guess my question is, how were they able to cook a 6.1 version? They had to have picked up an original to modify it if I'm correct. As I said I would like to learn how to cook as well so if anyone has time to help me learn at least the basics that would be appreciated. I can learn more myself if I know the basics.

I have a few threads dedicated to teaching how to cook. It's just the basics but it's enough to get you started.
Every 6.1 ROM here has been made by porting a 6.1 from another phone (there is no "original" per say as new versions are released all the time.) using the OEM of an original HERALD 6.0 ROM but modifying it heavily, making a custom XIP (kind of like the kernel and all the stuff related to it) from both the ported ROM and the older ROM, and then adding their own apps and tweaks.
In my case, I also do a heavy amount of stripping of useless files.
I'm kind of on the same page. I'd love to find an unmodified wm6.1. I've tried a couple of them, and they're all great, but they also have a bunch of stuff loaded in them or different versions of apps. I'd like to find a wm6.1 load that JUST has the org wm6.1 apps in it and nothing else. No mods, no alternative apps, skins, etc.

then take an original WM6 and behappy with that...belive me ivansstripped wm6.1 ONLY have tweaks that are really useful...to correct the crappy MS waste....
If you do NOT wantto correct that crap...go with an original WM6...it the same
same here
I am also looking for this...
I am VERY new to cooking and have not been able to manage to Dump any of the 6.1 ROMs. (I must be missing something)
I would like to start with an "original" ROM that I can play with and try to build my own custom ROM

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what "original" means. If you just want something clean and stripped that you can add whatever you want into it, then any of my ROMs will do.
To ivanmmj
I guess by original I meant base 6.1 ROM but since there is not an official 6.1 base ROM for Herald I was just trying to figure out how the other cooks were able to get 6.1 in their releases so I could cook up my own 6.1 for me and possibly upload it for someone to test or use. But it's ok, you already answered that for me but maybe you can point me in the right direction. I've been hearing that a Kaiser 6.1 ROM is easy to port to the Herald. But let me know how you were able to port it. I read some of your tutorials and I'll definately give it a try as soon as I get the time. Possibly this Sunday or so.

If you're looking for a bug free base, you might be better off just using one of my ROM as a base (since I tend to release the kitchen files for my ROMs.)
I have a post somewhere here about SYS and XIP porting. Find it and follow that. It works fine with kaiser ROMs.
Thanks! I don't know if I have tried your ROMs yet. I'll give it a go.
From what I have been able to gather (not very much) is that some ROM have their RGU files removed, making it imposible to Dump the ROM. When I try to open with the Package Tool nothing happens?

Actually, some ROMs are even encrypted...
In my case, all my ROMs are released WITH the kitchen files in case you want to make your own version. All that I ask is that you mention where the base came from since the base took a long time to make.
I don't know if this is the right place for this post.... and forgive my ignorance again.
I just can't get the Kitchen to work with any 6.1 ROM. I have tried JustMe and I follow exactly the same steps as with the original ROM. I just can't get a poputated OEM or SYS folder. What am I missing?

...Original rom?
There isnt a true original rom. Theres a base, which cannot be loaded on herald unless is ported with original 6.0 (which is ment for herald).
So. basically it looks like this:
Base 6.1 + Original 6.0 = herald 6.1
(original) (port)
you cant just use a base for a rom. you can port it, then extract what u want and dont want though (which theretically will turn yer ported 6.1 into an "original" one)
I managed to port a 6.1 rom following ivanmmj tutorial, quoted below.
" How to port a SYS folder
1. Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
2. Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
3. Replace the old SYS folder with the new one. "
but I only did step 1 and did not do step 2. It worked and seems stable.

The Shell32.exe doesn't always have to be ported, but if you port a ROM that comes with a different dpi, you need to use your old shell32.dll (unless you want to manually convert it into the proper DPI...)

No one can tell you what will work best for you, cause you know exactly what you want out of your phone. The best piece of advice that I or anyone else will give you is to flash a new ROM try for a view days if you like, great if not, then flash another. That is where the fun comes in.
Happy Flashing!
Have to agree...best advise is read and flash!

...and the question is ... ?
As you started your thread (and it was your 1st or 2nd post in your xda-life), you must take a good mortgage of it. Is your thread about a doubt on the way you must flash again ? About the differences between HyperDragon and Ultimate-x2 ? About differences between WM6.1 and WM6.5 ? About the best radio and SPL for this new flash ? This thread can give us a lot of juice, if you press it like a lemon. Please go back and post your Radio, SPL, and all your doubts which you think that can be important to be answered to share with other people. That's the way your thread will be useful.
I was missing when bought a Kaiser with PDA-Corner Ultimate and tried to flash another ROM. Lots of doubts assaulted me. I was afraid about bricking my device. Did not know if the radio was the good one, etc. Work about those doubts for you here and this thread will be interesting as many people will post links to "how-to" or "compatibilities"

Cooking a win mobile 6.5 rom

I am new to cooking roms.
I have a few questions:
I would like to cook a custom rom for my T-Mobile MDA Compact III also know as the HTC P300/Artemis.
I use the following kitchen: Hypercore Kitchen
Can I use the files provided in this topic(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445) or do I need to have a already cooked rom? If yes does it have to be a 6.5 rom?
And is there a step by step guide for cooking roms?
Thanx In advance,
Emrulez
Nobody that can help me?
