Hello all ,
I ran into the problem of liking a rom that was protected..
no problem , only thing i want to add was remote tracker.
the rest i do with uc.
So with the help of da_g i striped a kitchen to unpack and repack protected roms.
to add a package , just unpack..put your cab in the dump dir and add it to config????.txt
and repack.
that way i get the use the protected rom with my own package build in.
thought i would post it.

hi arnoldl,
i want to thank you and everyone have helped you to create and publish this. i was searching something like this since many time ago, finally i found your thread and i was able to add RT to the rom i use!
i think this will be useful to many other people
i have changed something and it works perfectly with my blackstone!
thank you thank you.
bye
What is the difference in extracting ngh file, adding cab file to dump folder, updataing config.txt and recooking compared to installing the cab file using UC?
Can we add visual kitchen packages to this dump folder? If we can add do we need to just copy all the files in all the folders of the package to dump folder?
eg: in the package there are some files in 0409 and some in files folder , _skip, app.reg, all these goes to dump folder?
Thanks
@DarkRenegade
No problem , happy that i helped...
@kk0813
If i would buy a phone of the street , i would do the folowing.
- check if there are funny things on it
- format the card
- hardreset the phone
and gone is your remote tracker protection..
If i cook rt in, with my personal settings for it.
after a hard-reset it's installed again , so i can still gps find my stolen phone after a complete format.
only next step i want to take is to re-hard spl , to prevent reflashing if posible.
but these days with new 6.5 images coming out so quick i flash so often i will wait with that one
but all other things i install by uc or later shashimi
Don't know if you can add kitchen files.
never tried it.....
btw attached a new version.
remade it to work with the new envirus kitchen the newer 6.5 roms are using..

You have a Trojan horse in first post!!!
All this to add a couple of cabs to a ROM ? Isn't it a whole of a lot easier to just... you know... install them after ? Or maybe even UC them to make it even lazier ?
Does this work with other roms from other devices? Or just Raphael roms?
I tried this but it extracts os.nb and os.nb.payload and also os.nb.extra but when it starts to create dump it fails
this is the log
ImgfsToDump 2.1rc2
Cannot map file imgfs.bin

Use the latest version of extractor, place the .nbh file in BaseROM, rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and run the extractor.
That worked for me.
A little late reading this, but I downloaded it to rip a rom from a little known site & guess what... Theres a trojan in that 1st post, virus software just riped it out of 2 kitchens recently downloaded as well as that 1st post file.
file namned Win32/Delfsnif.dx
I used your extractor but when i use old (1,2mb) i have problem with rom (sense 2.5 crash , windows menu crash), when i use new extractor (1,9mb) i don;t have a bootable rom (.nbh is very small 15mb-100mb) Is there any solution?
Sorry for my english I hope you can understand me.
I think there are more usefull tools that could help you.
Let's have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411915
And I believe that this tool is used by most roms makers.
Sorry but this tool is traying to rebuild protected rom into kitchen (with folders - ext, rom, sys etc.) but this is impossible.
Worked Great ! !
It worked great for me!
Moving to general section
You should just move this to the cooking forum. People are always asking if you can modify cooked roms. Then others are always answering that you can't dump and modify a protected rom, which clearly isn't true. So this would work ok in the Cooking forum (can't even remember the name of the forum, even though I'm a mod there, lol).
If this works, than this is pretty kick ass! I was recently trying to simplify the process as you did but your work looks flawless to me! I'll post as soon as I can confirm it works putting the rom back on an HTC rose (htc s743).
After the rom is dumped, what says what files go in what directories? In the dump directory ALL files are in the dump directory and not in the folder structure they would be after the ROM is flashed to the phone. Where would I find what determines the folder structure?
Hi guys, I was wondering how you would go about personalizing ROMs for your own use. Nothing code-wise, but installed programs and such. Opening up the zip files of downloaded ROMs I see the apk files and the system apk files - is it really as easy as just removing those you don't want and plotting in the ones that you do?
If this rom is from the same board as you, can say so.
But, .. you still need to run a linux terminal the code to sign the package that you previously made with same special files..
Just the search tools and you'll find it!
...You can easily too start porting rom's too...
After many many tweaking and cooking ROMs for WinMo I want to do same with Android. The reason I cooked for WinMo was speed, but since it is not an issue with mine Desire(but it can be better I want to customize ROM a little bit, so remove some stuff and later maybe add few apps. If this want be a problem I will try to tweak too.
However in WinMo I have always have served kitchen, I just tweaked removed and add few things and job done but here there are no kitchens..yet(I hope somebody will sooner or later post it
So is there anybody who can help to set up kitchen so that I can cook few roms for me and this community?
So if I understanded correctly I need following to start cooking
android sdk
java jdk
signing tool
stock ROM
I have downloaded them all, extracted SDK in D:\HTC Desire\Android SDK, installed Java JDK in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java and I don't know what to do next?
Extract ROM, where(?), extract system.img which is in rom.zip if yes how and where?
Thanks for your help
Benko, you can extract the ROM anywhere you want. But, you don't want images. You should look at Pauls rootedupdate.zip as a starting point. Unzip that.

Ok extracted that rootedupdate.zip and found a lot of apks and obexes so after I delete those files that I dont want how to put that all back together to file that is flashable?
You'll have to resign the zip after removing stuff, otherwise it will give verification errors when trying to flash.
You need to remove the current certificates from the file, there are three files in the META-INF folder - delete those, but keep the update script (the COM folder inside), it's needed for flashing.
I use this little thingy for signatures: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_Keys
Hope this helps!
PS-beware of any dependencies between the various apk's and any framework modding that might be needed, otherwise you'll get more fc's than you can carry; I know I did
PS2- if you want a served kitchen, you'll find one over at Modaco, for a CyanogenMod port (a link is posted in a thread here) - see if that suits you're needs.
PS3- check out the Chef Central sticky here, too - it should be easier to get quicker/more accurate info from the seasoned cooks there

Rezip the folders: meta, system & boot.img.
Then resign them. You can then transfer it to sd and try to flash. If it doesn't boot, then you have to troubleshoot.
May I know that how to change layout of the home screen?
e.g. HTC sense has news/mail widget where first installed and booted.
Where can I change these settings?
Also , I want to know if I made my own rom, and updated to my desire.
If it doesn't boot or anything, can I updated the rootedupdate.zip from Paul to get the desire back working?
Thanks

Ok zipped those folders(META-INF, system, boot.img) in rootedupdate.zip, used autosign.bat to manually sign that .zip and now it should be flashable?
@Kevin-yes if it is not bootable you can flash Pauls rom again

Hopefully. After a few hundred times you'll get the hang of it. ;P
If it boot loops, it won't boot. Try again. Always remember what you're adding and subtracting. Maybe start out with only a couple things.

So for now I even don't need Android SDK?
I downloaded the rom kitchen from Chef Central...Does the rom need to be sign after I built them out in Linux?
Also there are some folders I not understand yet....
Inside system folder - customize, etc, framework, usr and xbin I dont understand yet.
Cause looking at eVil D:'s rom and paul's rom is very different in those. And even paul's rom doesnt have customize folder.
Would like to understand all and see if I can make a rom out.
Thanks
Anybody tried my ROM ?

the kitchen signs the rom automatically. run the menu from terminal ( using linux) and u will see all the what the kitchen is doing.
do not try to compare custom roms ... they are different. some have extrafiles & folders depending on their customisations.
best thing is to compare with an original rom for the desire. and u see what has been added to get X and Y. involves a lot of trials and errors.

I was playing with System/app/...
after checking some useless apps and removing them, this happened to me .
I am wonder what did i choose by mistake, and what was that?
check attachments for screen shots please.
I am not sure about Fusion.apk
If yes that's the problem, may some one provide a copy for me.
Thanks.
Actually they are there, and i can use them, but not visible.
Desire S
ICS 4.0.4
Sense 3.6
fusion.apk is part of htc sense framework, just open rom zip and copy that file to /system/app and reboot

LooL Thank BTW.
Haven't played with RUU for a very long time. but if I remember correctly, when you run exe it extracts rom zip file to a temp folder somewhere on your c drive, keep it open and do a search you should be able to find the zip.
A good example of why it's a good idea to make a nandroid backup before playing with the system...

Yep, OP just needs to search and read. This is exactly the method we used to get the .zip originally when the ICS RUU was released by HTC.

IDC i always relock - install RUU - unlock - root.
THATS ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A CLEAR INSTALLATION OF SOME THING RATHER THAN PACK INSTALLATION.

That's really nice if it does some thing like that. i did search in %temp% and %user%/app/data
but no trace .
and i am not sure that you are able to use UniExtractor to extract this new type of protected EXE file.
by using CMD, n does command you would get a pack from that EXE file, included a CAB file which is included all data in,
Is there to open a protected CAB?
usualy windows Cabinet files may extract via Winrar, Cabex, Cabextractor, etc ...

No, there is no problem whether you are rooted or not as you said you need the Fusion.apk - which you just need to pull from the extracted .zip file after the first stage of running the RUU on your PC.
I don't have a problem with you - other than the fact that you seem to want to argue with anyone who gives you advice. You asked for a .apk file - you were suggested to extract it yourself from the RUU and then you decide to argue and find reasons why you can't do it. If you want help then read the answers from knowledgeable people and try what they suggest - otherwise what is the point in asking?
As for my 'Thanks' - who cares? I know less than many of the people on here, and you don't get 'Thanks' in Off-Topic, and I am almost never in OT, and it's none of your damn business why people have thanked me in the past.
You seem to have a real attitude of assuming you have a right to be supported. XDA is not, and never has been, a helpdesk for noobs - you need to get that into your head and deal with it.
Edit on this as I wanted to be sure of what I was saying. If you run the RUU then it will extract various info, including ROM.zip, into a temp folder, but this .zip is only useful as an image to flash from recovery, not to extract individual files from. On that basis, look for one of the ROMs that were based on the official RUU - there was a de-odexed, pre-rooted one released fairly shortly after the RUU - and pull fusion.apk from there.
And don't take your rookie mistake and frustration at yourself out on other members of XDA.

My Desire s is running MIUI v5 android 4.1.2 rom about 4 months and it runs Perfect , the best ROM I have ever used, BTW I bought Lumia 920, and I Love it, do not want to go back to android again.
Hi All,
I'm looking for a windows utility, that can edit, customize and update an existing rom...
Basically, I am trying to tweak a Chinese rom to make it more INTERNATIONAL... However I'm not seeing many Windows (GUI) Apps that can do this, and if there is, they've been discontinued at ICS or earliest JB build.
Does anyone know an updated tool that can help me with this please...??
PhilzTouch is supposed to support this, but the package didn't work either...
Thanks, Lister

Philz touch is a recovery, not a ROM editing utility
Hi @DSA,
Yeah I'm aware it's a recovery, as I use it on my Note. However when I've tried to research looking for one of these Apps, some people suggested (and have seen in past, on unrelated topics) that with PhilzTouch you can clone your existing LIVE OS, and package it up to a Flashable Zip.
Well it did create a flashable zip, and it even puts it in a folder called "Custom Roms" which is based on a "Update.zip" file, even though it has a different name... However it doesn't flash, and when opened the file, it has .TAR files included and not a normal rom package.
So yeah, struggling to find anything that works... I came close to building/porting a rom earlier, however I received FCs afterwards...
Thanks, Andy

adb pull /system then zip with 7zip or winrar you will also need to make an updater script and updater binary for your device. with correct blocks so that the rom flashes correctly. so, you need to search for how to create an updater binary for your device and the correct blocks for data, system, and boot img. for your device. if cm has one for your device, you can usally download their rom zip and put all your info you pulled using adb into their zip deleting their's but note you will need your boot image to be pulled also which i do not know how to do
