vivi Kitchen for ASUS P525 : A simple Kitchen ever , modified from Scoter Kitchen. - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

vivi ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525
Mainly modified from Scoter Kitchen​
Introduction
I've made this ASUS P525 ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525 because I think someone can make it,but no one makes it till now. So I made it myself and share.
Though it is not the best and complex Kitchen with many features but I'm sure it is the good first step for us.
The main aim of this ROM Kitchen is easy using, so this ROM Kitchen is only one click and follow the screen.
You will have a new ROM for ASUS P525 at ease.
Aims
1.For easy modifying private ROM.
2.For helping new user to easy start cooking ROM.
3.For sharing OEM Packages.
4.For someone makes it better.
Let's see
Before using it just let us understand in the same way as follows.
1.This ROM Kitchen is made for using with ASUS P525 only,but it can be used with any other device if modified a little.
2.This ROM Kitchen is modified mainly from Scoter Kitchen.
3.The commands modified from DoubleOFour ROM Kitchen , edhaas ROM Packer Kitchen and some parts from Excel @AsusMobile.ru
Credits should give to them , not me.
Tools use
1.Tools in Scoter Kitchen included bepe package tools and mamaich tools.
2.P525ROMTool from Ingvarr.
Ingredients
There are 3 parts.
1.Program Part : The Kitchen itself.
vivi.exe
2.ROM Part.
3.OEM Part.
Download
You have to download all 2 of these and Base ROM supplied in Packages.
1. The Kitchen in executable file vivi.exe
http://www.zshare.net/download/398685039d2949/
2. OEM Packages
http://www.zshare.net/download/397176124ce74d/
You can find other OEM Packages or create your OEM Packages by looking at this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303195
Base ROMs
1.OLD :
Alex UltraLite 2
SYS and OEM from Alex
{This is Alex ROM (added Powerpoint and WLM files) in packages not ROMGalaxy.NB0.}
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
2.NEW : Add 10 Oct 2007 :
SYS and OEM from Alex,plus settings pages from official ROM. !!!NEW!!!
Add files and settings from official back into Packages.
This packages of Base ROM will create official like unofficial WM6 ROM for your ASUS P525,since I add back official 3 settings pages from official ROM,include official system tray icons.
http://www.zshare.net/download/41190946d9bc4b/
How to cook
1. Place vivi.exe from download 1 in Root of C: and execute it.
You will see a new folder named vivi , this is your Kitchen.
2. Enter Kitchen , replace OEM and SYS folders with OEM and SYS folders from Base ROM provided from download 2.
3. In ROM folder , replace ROMGalaxy.NB0 (0 KB) with any ROMGalaxy.NB0 you want its size.
eg. if you want to build a new ROM with a huge size, place official CHS or Russian ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
Or if you want small size ROM , place Alex UltraLite ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
I think you guys already have ROMGalaxy.NB0 so no need to support this file.
4. Place OEM Packages you choose from download 3 in OEM folder.
5. Click Start.cmd.
6. Follow on screen.
That's all.

Vivi,
Congrats! Finally I can see ROM Kitchen for P525 and now everybody can cook their own ROM
Btw, what do you mean by putting base ROM into OEM and SYS folder? Did you mean Romgalaxy.nb0?
I've put romgalaxy.nb0 into ROM folders and BOS failed to execute.
Cheers,
vibranze

No, Vibranze.
You have to download Base ROM I provided here.
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
It is not NB0 but splitted in 3 Package folders.
ROM , SYS and OEM.
Place them in the corresponding place in Kitchen.
Images attached.

And you have to place your old ROMGalaxy.NB0 in ROM folder.
This is to use as template for new ROM only.

Vibranze,
Check your PM.

Hi Vivi,
Thanks for all your work. Is it possible for you to make a similar ROM kitchen for the HP iPAQ HX4700?
bub

Thanks for your work ... once again

Vivi, congrate. Glad to see someone finally take this job over.

Great work vivi.
Now maybe it's possible to bulid TouchFlo in P525? If anyone could help me with the OEM version of this, please help me.
Thanks
EDIT:
I would like to make my own OEM packages, but I don't know how. Anyone can help me with this too? I saw that I need the files from the program, and I saw some files like .DSM, .RGU. That is it do? How can I make this files, to my programs?
Thanks fot helping me

Jack,
This is why I want your rgu.files.
The ROM with no rgu can't be dumped and Packed as Base ROM.
I try to use P526 Modules from your ROM,but I can't use it since no rgu files.
Could you please give me all files and tell me how to replace Phone Module as your ROM?

Thank you so much vivi, I saw you posting in kozhura's topics a few times so I thought you must have a HX4700 too. I've been trying to modify kozhura's ROM for a long time, but all I have managed to do so far is add some themes and a few programs which don't need any registry entries. It will be great to be able to add full packages.

bub,
I have a look.
It's not hard.
Just modify some command line from vivi Kitchen for P525.
And create Base ROM.
I will make it for you.Not too long.
But I wonder how many users want it?

Thanks vivi, I think there are at least 3-4 people that have posted in the HX4700 thread asking for a ROM kitchen, and I think many more people will start using it once it is made available. The HX4700 seems to have a set amount of reserved space for the base ROM and the user space always has 82.59 MB free regardless of how much you put in the base ROM, so it's a good idea to fill the space in the base ROM, which leaves more space available to install applications in the user space.
Will the ROM kitchen you make work with kozhura's latest WM5 build? I'm still using his WM5 build because it's more stable than his WM6 build and it's almost as fast as WM6.
Thanks for all you work, I really appreciate it.

THANK YOUUUUU!!! I'd been trying to modify your ASUS kitchen with no success. The 4700 community will truly appreciate this. I agree, kozhura's rom is great.

Thanks so much vivi! I'm so happy!
Is it possible for me to use kozhura's latest WM5 ROM as the base rom? What should I do to make that into packages and modules? Also, is there any way to calculate how much free space is left in the ROM for adding OEM packages?
Thanks again!
Thanks. This is giong to be my first "cooking" experience. A nice new way of playing around and improving the hx4700 at the same time!!
Been doing some late night cooking... tastes great. Thanks vivi for bringing this out.
Thanks for the WM5 kitchen!

Don't downplay your part here!
I'd had a tinker with decompiling the ROM but never quite got it to work right so I too am very grateful of your assistance here.
I had a quick play last night and the largest file I saw was Powerpoint, my old favourite for the largest waste of space on previous ROMs so first to go to make space for the useful stuff!
And just how can you remove Powerpoint?

Well simply deleting the 2.59MB ppt.exe executable from the SYS\Office folder will get rid of it, but how do you get rid of all the traces (registry settings, links, extensions) that are tied to it in a clean and efficient manner. I know I can manually remove associated files and such, but what happens to settings in the .dsm file? I can manually edit the .rgu files, but how do you edit existing settings in the .dsm files without breaking something?
Can I remove the "HP Protect Tools" OEM folder (15836286-5263-4a11-8b33-5087ced93124) safely, or is it required by other applications in the ROM?

And then, deleting ppt.exe will cause no harm, even if you leave there all the debris? 2.6MB gives quite a lot of room for small apps!

I delete the ppt.exe as suggested, but I go through every file also to be honest and remove anything that refers to powerpoint, the link file, registry values for 'pps' or 'ppt'.
Whilst doing this I remove other things I don't use (though to be fair this is from when I used the Universal which had a lot of extra crap in it) and tweak the registry value to those I want (though again I can't see that I need to change a lot here).
Easier and quicker is to do a search of all files for the contents of ppt and pps and delete from there.
Vivi many thanks to you,great work for users!
kozhura,
Appreciated your works so much.
You are genius and so kind.
Thanksssssssssss,

Hi,
I have looked a litlle in your kitchen and this is a very useful tooll, thanks !!
Here are my first questions :
1.
I have seen this folder in the OEM :
vivi\Enter Kitchen\OEM\b693f6e6-e6cd-4091-b8f3-40f2b988b169
It seems to regroup every phone manager. As I never used it and I don't inted to use it, can I delet this 2.38 Mo folder without any risk ?
2.
Does someone have information about changing keyboard or adding a new one ?
(I need an azerty one)
3. (harder)
Does someone have information about changing language of the rom ???
4.
How much space do we realy have left to add OEM packages ? (I have searched but I didn't find an information about it)
albertorrent, I can't help you specifically but when I play with ROMs I tend to keep the last working version and then tweak.
If it works fine, that is the new last saved version, otherwise I go back to the previous and tweak differently.
thanks, I think I 'm gonna do a lot of try.
I have an other question, (may be the last for today ;-))
How to add a font in the font folder in windows ?

BETA: Extended Artemis Kitchen for WM6.1

New extended Kitchen for Artemis
ARTEMIS_DEV_v2.1_Build_19199.rar
Related:
Extended Kitchen for Trinity
Extended Kitchen for Hermes
Extended Kitchen for Herald
Thanks to misar, FreePK for helping with this new set of tools!
About the Kitchen
Artemis base: HTC P3300 WWE 3.13.405.1
OS base: VF Kaiser UK 3.08.161.0 (Build 19199)
OEM Apps removed, but you need to clean up the OEMDrivers package
I did not do any changes to the OS, because it should be a clean base Kitchen for all of you
Full XIP editing supported by the Kitchen
New tool to merge all dsm files to one big file and delete all rgu's
I think the OEM package to SYS problem should be solved... but did not try it yet
How to use it
Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
OEM and SYS can be used as known
The content of ROM\XIP will be used to create a new XIP section for the OS
You don’t have to worry about relocating modules... add/remove whatever you like and the new tools will take care of relocating modules or freeing RAM
.VM and .ROM is updated automatically
Actually this Kitchen runs in auto mode, which means you only need to run BuildNB.bat to create the ROM. You can change that by editing the bat files; made it this way, because I don’t use the options in BuildOS.exe
I consider this a perfect port of the new build to this device
Replaced all XIP SYS packages (I did not just changed coredll.dll to get the new build number)
There were also boot.rgu changes my MS, those have been added too
SYS is completely untouched
Read this for download:
All donations are very welcome!
I need to buy a new device, because this time my Trinity is gone forever and I cannot use my girlfriends Artemis without being killed (by mistake I deleted all contacts last time I used it for testing... she was not very happy about that )
When you are getting money for the ROMs you cook using my kitchen, I would really appreciate a donation.
I'm not talking about 50% of you incomes, but one small donation would be fair I think.
To download the Kitchen click at "All donations are very welcome"
!!! This was only meant for ppl never donated for these tools and expecting donations for ROM's created using my Kitchen !!!
Thanks to all those who have donated already!​
Happy cooking!

Sorry about that... did not see that the name might be confusing...
It means that this is a ROM Kitchen with an extension to edit/build XIP sections
To edit the XIP section was no easy task until now, so this means a little revolution for porting new build to our devices.

I tried several times building a rom using the kitchen but failed. What I did was simply put in OEM packages and build the OS, got a nb file, then used htcrt.exe to convert it to a nbh for flashing. Everything seems fine during the flash. But when it restarts it dies in the first splash screen.
Any hint for this?

First try if a ROM without OEM packages is working, next you need to add one OEM package after another... I'm sure there is something wrong with one of the packages.
You are using the wrong drivers.
Do you any drivers installed??
Did you fill XIP up?

Built a ROM without addidng anything but a music file to reach 50MB limit but the ROM never passes the splash screen on device. The same happens with extracting and re-building of cooked ROMs even without editing. What am I doing wrong?

Thank Bepe and NikMel a lot for your kindly help.
Should I keep the drivers in the kitchen, or replace them with the drivers from wm6.0? And how to fill the XIP? Sorry I am a newbie to the kitchen.
Most of the ROM do not include the rgu files.
You need rgu files to make your own rom.

the easyst way is to copy "OEMDrivers" map from wm6.
You should copy XIP files one by one from other rom and put it in a map with the same name.

New Old style kitchen based on Bepe's tools

Hi here i release an OLD style kitchen based on Bepes tools
I have taken bepe's kitchen and created some batch files to make it a one click extract and one click build and flash
I was so used to the old style kitchens and when they stoped working (failing at xip extract) i was looking for something that worked that i could use easly.
I found bepes kitchen, and it was nearly the same so i ported the batch files from diamond kitchen 0.4 to make this.
this kitchen uses the new style packages but has the look and feel of the diamond kitchen 0.4
I am still looking for the package creater that makes these NEW style packages but can't seem to find it now so if anyone has it please drop me a link so i can include it in the kitchen tools
download link ---->
http://rapidshare.com/files/217781904/Kitchen.rar
Instructions
1 place you RUU_Signed.nbh in the baserom folder
2 click on !Begin
3 Dont touch anything until extraction is finished (approx 5-10minutes)
4 Modify your packages
5 click on !Cook
6 wait until the htc rom tool loads
7 select diamond in device, os.new.nb as the source OS and save as kitchen/RUU_Signed.nbh
8 close htc rom tool and Custom RUU flash tool will load
9 flash and enjoy

will this kitchen group the OEM and SYS files properly. im having difficulty in using the new format or everything's in SYS\MSXIPKernel folder.

not had time yet to try and test if i can rebuild a cooked rom, will have a go tonight and post my findings.
This is Bepe's Kitchen automated by batch files so he is the best person to talk to about protection
sorry to be a little blunt but i am a noob when it comes to cooking that why i found something that worked for me and made it a little easyer to use,
Protected Rom? Almost Rom when rebuilding, it will delete all dsm file, so you can't use package tool.
ok i have now tried the flashing, and the cooked roms won't pass the splash screen page, not getting the device info in bottom right corner.
anybody there who uses bepe's kitchen mind having a look for me.
also i can't open a re-cooked rom

I had the same problem and it was a XIP "mess-up". however I can't help you more than this.
try asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3575850&postcount=131
i simply do NOT understand why build a tool that deletes stuffs that are important for cooking. isnt rom cooking supposed to be an open project for ALL? i mean some chef have the donate button in their sigs. but their rom's locked. it isnt fair to those (like myself) trying to learn how to cook a rom. i mean, i try to compare official roms and custom roms insides. what are the difference. it's by comparing that people learn to differenciate. and i would say BAHHH to missing rgu and dsm files!!
My thoughts exactly... Alas...
it is ironic, that NONE of the chefs who lock roms/doesn't supply kitchen/ask for donation wrote the code themselves. In short - everybody operates on stolen/leaked or any other way obtained code.
Ok, there are authors who created tools. And those guys have full right (and reason) to ask for donations fro that - TOOLS.
Otherwise - it's just funny. it's like stealing a car, and then asking police to protect it....
no panic.
at normaly old style kitchens never delete dsm'S.
and if you delete manualy dsm'S, you get all files in folder.
i think, with protect rom it means, no recookable roms.
it stops at point 1 or in the first step by using BEGIN! with a message like
"rom is smaller/bigger than/at starts" or so. excuise me, i've forgot the exactly words.
for checking of recookable rom i checked it with "htcRIE_0.5.0.12.exe".
it shows you all files with oem/sys - folders. but the oem can be empty. you find the oem-files than in sys-folder.
these points are my thinks that i see/learned by beginning flashing and cooking until now. other people can see/learn other thinks so dont dismiss me, if you are not my oppinien - but you can dismiss my english
Htc rom tool
Is it possible to use this for the Fuze?

[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)

[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)
I've seen a few requests for kitchen's & rom's based on 21042 XIP/SYS so I decided to knock one up using the 2.03MRII 2.03.401.3 base and XIP/SYS from 21042 build.
This kitchen & rom is currently completely stock. Nothing removed from the OEM & SYS folders, no tweaks no addon programs just standard diamond build with newer core.
The only extra included which isn't in the original stock rom is remote desktop mobile (came with the sys not an extra) which of course you can remove from the kitchen if you wish. As it's the new sys it obviously contains the newer builds of MS apps including Windows live. Also this does not have the newer version of IE, just standard version.
Keyboard currently supports English, French, German, Greek, Italian & Spanish t9 however this should be updatable with the 14 language patch available elsewhere.
The kitchen is bepe platformrebuilder in almost stock form. No extra tools except for it runs htc rom tool to build the nbh file at the end.
XIP is not changed in anyway except updated msxipkernel & msxipkernelltk from 21042. No pagepool patching, cert patching or time/date/name changes. os.nb.payload size is reduced in the kitchen however this has no bearing on the final rom.
As this uses bepe's platformrebuilder, if you wish to change the date, build, pagepool, cert patching in the kitchen directly, these need to be done on nk.exe in the oemxipkernel. Any changes made to os.nb.payload (except uldr) will not be carried forward to the final rom as the nk.exe will overwrite changes to the payload. The payload itself is not ported so if you extract this and replace the msxipkernel folders then you will be back to a 20764 xip. There is no need to port the payload as replacing the msxipkernel & ltk folder in the xip folder properly ports the xip anyway if you are using bepe's kitchen (surface kitchen does not work properly in this way)
Also any rom's built with this tool are automatically locked as the kitchen deletes rgu's & dsm's from the cooked rom for space saving and performance. The files are extractable but then all you get is a dump of the files, without being able to seperate to packages.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Also on the link there will be a stock diamond rom built from this kitchen - entirely stock but with latest xip/sys - even .netcf is still v2.0 that's how stock it is. It does however have more storage memory as it is cooked - original has 82Mb total and 57 available - this has 102Mb in total and 75+Mb free. Using the kitchen you could make a rom with alot more free space however.
I would recommend atleast upgrading .netcf to 3.5 in this rom if you are lightly cooking. Package for this is available on the forum
If you release a rom using this kitchen, please do not forget to credit the source.
Shaks.P Roms are free and always will be. If you like my Roms optionally send me a drink here:

Important: Hard spl is required to use either the rom on this link or any rom created with this kitchen.
Basic Tutorial
As the rom is already ported & extracted, all you need to do is make your modifications then build the rom.
Step 1. Modify the sys & oem folders with the packages that you need. Make a backup of any folders you delete in case they cause issues with anything else.
Step 2. Once you are happy with the modifications, run build_rom.bat. This will create the os_new.nb file in the root of the kitchen folder. Once this is done, it will load the htc rom tool that builds & signs the final nbh file.
Step 3. Once the htc rom tool loads, select Build!, Change the version to anyversion you would like (this version only shows up when flashing). Under system, click on ... and select the os_new.nb file that has just been created. Then click on Build! ROM and this will ask where to save the nbh file and the name. Save as diamimg.nbh if you want to flash thru internal storage or any other name you like if using customruu.
Step 4. Ensure your device has hardspl, then flash the rom you just built either using custom ruu or using the internal storage method. If it doesn't work, you can allways flash another rom after getting the device in bootloader mode.
Can't wait
Thanks!
Will you post it today, or....?
And can i make my rom from this "Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS"?

It's uploading at the moment. It is a seperate kitchen & a rom as well. You can make whatever type of rom you wish to with this. Just mention the original source if you release it.
The rom is if you want a stock rom with the new build. Looks like you need the kitchen. Should all be uploaded in next 15-20 mins. Had to start the upload again.
Thanks shaks!
Not only do you provide the best ROM around, but now also a kitchen, you rock!
sweat shaks thanx for sharing going to finaly try my own Rom you make us happier and happier every time
(EDIT)
so does this mean your not going to build any more Roms or ?

This is just something I felt like doing for today. The kitchen won't get updated much (probably not at all as it's not modified). The roms will continue but will be going for the long release cycles again just like 3.20. I envisage I will probably have one more release and if that doesn't have issues then no more flashing till something big happens again (maybe stable tachi rom comes)
This kitchen is so stock that it can't replace my rom without alot of work - no tweaks, extra packages or anything for that matter except what comes in the stock as that's what some people wanted and I thought it won't take long so I did it.
P.S sorry for the delay with the upload. Having some issues
damn nice to here for one more rom coming out in the near future but tell u the truth my wife went back to rom 3.20 of urs she says it was much beter for her she was used to it she will never change roms agains she says beter for me lol , but mine is doing realy fine and i gots bunch of programs installed no issues at all by the way thanks man i cant stop thanking u

Well 3.20 was a damn good, stable, time tested rom. I know a few people who won't change from it at all. Tested the latest but went back to it because they preferred it. 4.x series are a little bit more experimental but still go for the same stability. Next release should take of that small percentage who have corrupt memory/hard reset issues hopefully but I don't expect a big changelog as 4.10 is otherwise fine.
Should the bluetooth work well with this rom?

Shouldn't be an issue - I use the same sys/xip in my rom without any issues with bluetooth.

Rom uploading now. I found if I tried to upload both at the same time, it kept stopping part way!

That's right - delete what you don't want, modify rgu's for packages, add your own packages e.g. using ervius package creator to turn a cab into a package or use a package already provided. You'll get lets of cooking help from here (talks about surface kitchen but basic concept the same):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782
Add your own packages into the OEM folder.
Downloading... In the meantime thank you!
got a question which file is it ? and can i get rid of the keyboard languages and add only the english and swedish ? if anyone
can answer plz and thank you which file is it

Samsung SGH-i780 (and any other WM device for that matter!): Learn how to cook ROMS

Hi guys,
I decided to open a blog which explains how to cook roms for the i780. There are very few chefs, and cooking is a really hard science to learn without help! So, I decided that I take the time and write posts so that everyone could learn the process in a methodical manner and cook roms in the future!
I'd slowly write posts explaining each step of the process in detail, so that we can have more people learning how to cook and make the i780 community more happening
Head over to this URL to check out the first few posts -
http://i780romdev.blogspot.com
Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers
San
I never was a fan of this forum, not sure why, maybe because I use a ASUS P527 and there are not proper instructions on how to create a custom ROM, I appreciate your taking the initiative
I think its good fun to try and figure out things on your own
Non-HTC devices do have a very small fan base unfortunately....and ironically, HTC makes the crappiest devices imo (highly crash prone, buggy, lousy drivers, useless qualcomm processor)!
You can apply the same tools and techniques even to cook asus roms....its not all that different
cheers
wooooooow thanks a lot buddy finally we have it also !!!
when will u release part 3? and also can u give the links of programs? like pkgtools_? coz i tried to download it from somewhere else and it had virus

To remove a package, you can get rid of the corresponding folders in your SYS folder. But its not recommended that you knock off office/ie as they might be referenced within other apps. You can always take it off, build a rom and see if everything works fine
For example, to remove IE, just delete your Browsing, Browsing_DPI_xx and Browsing_Lang_XXXX, BROWSINGCORE, browsingie, browsingie_LANG_XXXX folders. That should get rid of IE for you! Then you need to recreate your bin!

i have two problems while i am using ervius pkgtools
1. when i open dumo folder it shows

are these important dsm files?
2. when i press build packages it gives this error:
not found: select .os file to extract XIP
and i extract xip file using osbntool as xip.bin
any solutions for both of these?

false alarm?
well last night i finished my own wm6.1 build 20270 128dpi pdxib1 according to your guide i wanna tell what i did to complete it ;
1.i exctracted my rom using i780 kitchen and i got dump folder and i also added some extra tools like ervius buildos,osnbtool etc...then i used pkgbuildos to seperate folders into oem and sys
2. i used oem part from krizky82's kitchen and i add some extra packages using ervius package creator 2.7 and add them with oem_blahblah to oem folder.
3. i deleted windows live and msn messenger from sys folder and copied netcf 3.5 and flashlite v3.1 from krizky82 kitchen. i also used his initflash and rgu file coz i had same structure almost(oem totally same and sys programs also)
4.i looked at both efn's kitchen and krizky82 kitchen and i saw that they have this structure oem,sys and rom and in rom there is xip folder. when i looked at inside xip folder i saw that there is only coredll.dll folder and others are dsm rgu and boot files so my next step
5. i used osbn tool to exract xip.bin and after i got that xipkitchen_beta6 and i choosed the same donor and original and after extracting i got original xip files and i ordered in same structure like efn's kitchen
6.then i used pgkbuildos and let the process starti had some dsm duplicate errors and i delete duplicated ones and later i didnt start xip extract bat and flashable bin bat so after process again i had temp/dump folder
7. during buildos there wasnt any error and i was happy about it
8. using inputTXTFileMaker ( thanks to u dreamtheather93) i got input text and after that using these commands;
mgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin new_imgfs.bin
del imgfs_raw_data.bin
ren new_imgfs.bin imgfs_raw_data.bin
make_imgfs i780.nb0.payload.body -nosplit
merge i780.nb0.payload.header i780.nb0.payload.body i780.nb0.payload
nbmerge -data 2048 -extra 8 i780.nb0 -conservative
and conv3 input.txt > conv3_output.txt
ren i780.nb0.b000ff !!i780_flashable_bin.bin
i got my flashable bin file yupiiiii i controlled the size of flashable bin and it is 86.2 mb and the size of dump folder almost 125 mb i hope it is ok
now i will flash my phone but is there any possibility that my phone can be bricked ?
thanks a lot for ur guide again!!!
note: i already used i780.bin as 12mb page pool size i did it before kitchen using osbn tool
good job m8
You cant really brick your i780 because of this I've done way crazier stuff....like trying out omnia's xip, drivers of omnia on i780....and nothing's given way
However, i'm hoping you've ported your XIP accurately, and i'm unsure how've you've built your SYS folder.
but, go ahead and flash and see if it boots nothing to be paranoid if it doesnt boot/hangs at startup/throws an error and fails etc. etc. If any of this happens, then we could troubleshoot it together
cheers & good luck
Great job!
Nice start San!
Not even some days left from your first successful cooking and you already best gid on it!
Keep on do it. And we wait for new mods for our best touchphone!
I think now anyone is able to break Eagles wings =P
