Bump, no one want to look in it and help me ??

Search for and download a tool called G'reloc.
A common issue with ported OS builds is that they fail to boot due to improperly coded/placed files. G'reloc will fix this for you. Just run it right before cooking, and then once compiled and flashed, your ROM should boot fine.
*You will need to find the correct codes for G'reloc and a Diamond ROM. I have only used this tool on the Kaiser, so I cannot tell you what they are.

I tried using a newer BuildOS for the Kaiser that included G'reloc, and it never worked properly. I would run G'reloc on it's own, and then uncheck the box to run it as part of BuildOS.
If those values are auto filled in for you, then give it a shot with them. Worst case, the phone still doesn't boot.

Yes they just came automatic, so. Yes i will try that one, will report back if it dosen't

I couldn't i get an I/O error 105. ? Some1 knows what this it ?
--
Run-time error 105: File not open for output.
This error occurs if you try to use standard input and output functions
like Readln and Writeln without the Uses WinCRT; statement.
To correct this error, add Uses WinCRT; to your program.

How exactly did you translate the 96.DPI files?
Safe yourself the headaches and use the Diamond 1.96 as a base.
That would give you all the SYS 192 dpi files you need.
Are you making the ROM true 0406?
Or just translating or renaming the 0409.mui files?

HI
For port this os build i've made this:
first try to port only the xip
Delete folder from your old working kitchen:
MSXIPKernel
MSXIPKernelLTK
AND OEMXIPKernel if exist
Delete your old OS.NB in ROM folder of your kitchen
Now you need to Extract OS.NB From a diamond ROM 20924 protected or not !
(My rom for exemple)
take the 20924 OS.NB in your ROM folder
then just cook with your old sys and oem folder without the folder mentioned on top. flash & verify xip version.
if this work ,change your sys with the 20924 you have
but keep some files from your old working sys
if i have a good memory i've keep this:
.ROM folder
.VM folder
.Metadata folder
.hd.dll folder
.osaxst0.dll folder
.gwes.exe folder
possible some other files...
if you have Greloc error replace files mentioned in error
try this.
ask if you need help

Hi there, trust me. I have looked the thread many times ..
Anyway, i got an update.
I have get the phone to boot, with the orginal OS & OSFILES.. Now i just need to find what files i need to have, to get it boot..
But i still got a bug, when it boot, touchflo3d won't start, it just skips. ?

The problem you are facing might be (99%) because of improper XIP porting. Just for suggestion, go through my XIP porting guide (in my signature) and try again with a working 20924 XIP (if you cant find one then I'll up the xip.bin from which I ported and am using)
Using original OS folder would not qualify as SYS porting If you check the SYS build no, you will see the original no and not the ported build

Merging all the RGU to Default.hv ??

Hello there.
well, i'm trying to cook a new version of my ROM, but i have sawn on Fanman release that there's no RGU files...
Because he seems to have merged all of them in the default.hv.
I've tried, but many keys disappear when flashing it to phone...
Have you got any ideas ?
Thanks
Best regards
What kitchen are you using to cook the rom? I've been using the Core Pro kitchen but noticed that none of the changes I made to the .hv files were being included in the cooked rom so this would explain why none of yours are either. For now stick all the changes into 1 rgu file, will be much easier to insert into the hives once it is working again that way I'd imagine.
one or more .rgu, each one under a OEM subfolder, will do the trick...
do not forget their corresponding empty .dsm file !

Is that not what he already has tho? I thought the point of his post was how to get all the rgu files into the hives but since this is not currently possible (as far as I am aware, kitchen dependant of course) he may as well place them all into one rgu file.
yep, all changes are not tooked in the hv files, i wanna have only the hives to gain more spaces...
I'll try again

No more RGU = More space on ROM
This evening, i tried to copy HV after buildos and before createrom, but nothing more....
And when i looked on the temp folder of kitchen, the hv files are really small and doesn't include the hv files in sys\metadata...
Really strange, it seems that modifications in the hives of sys\metadata are not included in final rom ?!

small benefit however !
why not to stay with markquinton's recommendation : place all you updates into one rgu file.
So, i finally make it work but strangely i have more memory but software couldn't start and claim an memory error...
I can't even access to program folder
Anybody don't know why ?!

Has anyone managed to successfully edit the hive files and have the changes included in their built rom? As I've been playing around with this for a while but have as yet still not managed it. I'm getting annoyed with having to set a lot of default settings in rgu files when they could easily be included in the hives from the start.

[UTIL]buildos+packagetools 4.2b3 ***more improvements (good xipporting!)***!!!

Hi , last version of buildos+package tools....
try 4.2b3 version now.....
Last version 29.04.2008
http://rapidshare.com/files/111296473/kitchen.zip
improved real xipporting with buildxip.exe...
how it works...
dump xip.bin from same or other device; so you have xip\ folder annd romhdr.bin.
copy xip\ folder just created into my buildos by clicking on:"New Xip"
and then by pressing on: "port it" and selecting all xip->same or different device xip, you finally have new xip build ported into my kitchen, ready to be builded into "out.bin" by buildxip executed by all "CREATE_ROM_xxx.bat" files building new rom.
Code:
this last version has also load/save config, so you can preconfigure from
ultralight to full rom, load a config file and only by a click you have the
preferred rom to build, so you can publish in a bit all kind of roms you want!!!
this tool goes into kitchen or bepe's WM 6.1 one, or WM 6.1 of mine...
try it and post new bat and \TOOLS utils to extrac xip from other devices to make better it..
and also bat and \TOOLS utils to extract os.nb from other devices....
(I think the bats have to named like: "EXTRACT_DUMP.......bat" example: Extract_dump_from_kaiser; extract_Dump_from_hermes ecc... )

Port XIP

Hello every1
I've tried to port 20755 xip from xip.bin (20755). I think I've done every thing allright. Because I can read OS CE 5.2.20755 in About. But, with this new XIP I can not send or transfer files. I can't select this option with File Explorer.
I've came back to my last ROM folder (20273) and It works properly.
I use Bepe's extended kitchen. there are \XIP folder, OS.nb.payload, out.bin (I think it's XIP) and another file, *.bin (I don't remember now), into \ROM folder.
What am I doing bad ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards !!!
Did you port any of the modules or files that belong to the OEM packages? This can cause all sorts of issues.

[Q] Help porting SYS to new rom.

Need help porting sys folder..
I've successfully ported XIP to 20757 and now i've been trying to port the sys build folder 20757 and up, from multiple roms, such as the xperia x1 roms, the blackstone roms, and other's from the site.
But all of my attempts has fail, so was hoping someone could tell me what im doing wrong.
First sys attempt i tried was;
How to port a SYS folder
Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389772
Second i tired, to port it from a thread on the kaiser forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437264
and third i tried this following guide from the elf forms, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379598
so for short
1. made 1 folder for old sys, and 1 for new system with the build number
2. copy .vm .rom WinCENLS_WWE, shell/shellresand shell/shell32 folder, with my already ported XIP
3. swap out the res folder like 800 and 640 ones for the diamond, (where ever it is needed to port the rom)
4. then ran g'reloc
so yeah finally when i tried all this, form the guide, it doesnt work
What about the easiest way?
Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452779
Ervius's tool is to port XIP
To port SYS is the easiest porting Simply run Greloc on old SYS and note all the values. Then run Greloc on new SYS and change the values as per old SYS. No replacement needed, no swapping required
Simple!

I thought that to but every time i tried to port the Blacstone sys and Greloc
the rom doesnt boot, I have tried many times and allways the same result.
havent test for a wile, the xip port I get whit your exellent manual xip port but not the sys, so now I have a rom os 20757 Build 19665
have you tried replacing all except the Metadata folder ?
for your XIP which is the base used 1.93, 1.96, 1.97 ?
I have tried the xiportereex tool but some modules are missing, so I tryied to add it by myself, it boot but sometime touch screen doesn't responde at first tap, very strange, I have also a pb with default ringtone witch is not the one it should be by mxipupdate
hi
thank you for your reply everyone but several attempts trying you methods but none has worked ; ;
UPDATE; i give up trying to port sys build, thnx for you help everyone.
Same problem for me, if I try all these method in order to port the sys 20764 ( blackstone) to me ELF, the phone don't boot :-(
if the problem is running poutlook, please check if you have custsat.dll in your rom.
if removed, poutlook won't run.
This is the sam exact problem i'm running into. I can't just not port the SYS because the XIP i'm using opens the windows in a tiny little corner in the top left hand corner. Has anyone figured out how to actually port the SYS since none of the tutorials seem to work.
Hi All,
Try this:
1. Copy all modules and dsm ONLY from these few folders (BaseApps, Shell, Phone, PhoneRedist and Redist) from new SYS to your old SYS folder. No need copy ***_DPI_*** (images), ***_0409 / ***_0804 (language files) and the rgu because they never change even how high the build number goes
2. Copy gwes.exe from new build OS folder to your OS folder (if you don't want to get small little window on the top left corner)
3. g'reloc
4. Cook
Good luck !

In fact, you can take the rest of the OS folder too, with the exception of the rgu and ossvcs

I have but as we all know the xperia doesn't get as much attention as to the full blown htc devices. I figure that the porting method should be about the same with the exception of changing some things based on resolution. Am i wrong?
Have you deleted some folders from official HD SYS??
If yes, notice that the rom doesn't boot without SqlCeMobile and SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409 folders. I'm speaking from my experience with HD.
And I remember I've ported these official builds to Toshiba G900 without problems. Then, make attention to these things too.
And control if into your original SYS, you have some different folders in comparison to the new SYS.
Another thing, Ervius xipporterex rev-35, deletes some things from xip, but it works perfect in that way. The only thing you have to notice, is that it deletes WinCENLS_WWE from xip, then you have to add it into SYS folder.
@Bxsteez,
chek your 21109 SYS, and change mxip_system.vol(into Shell), with your original and see if mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml is into Base_DPI_192 folder, if not, copy your original one there. Change MobileCalculator.exe into baseapps folder too.
Just gave this a shot and nothing works again.... I can't even port the XIP and use the standard SYS and get it to boot. I wonder if i'm using a some corrupted build of 21109. Can someone point me in the direction of where to get OS CE 21109 and 21109 build?
Search on ppcgeeks the calkulins kitchen for diamond, then extract the xip from os.nb.payload and use that to port, worked for me with ervius xipporterex-35.
And make those changes into SYS folder, they are needed to boot properly.

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 -

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 !!!

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!
cheers
thanks a lot for kitchen tools and ur explanations! i read ur blog all the time great work!!

yes i read it, and u r teaching with examples it is great
i have two problems while i am using ervius pkgtools
1. when i open dumo folder it shows
[Missing Manifests]
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\45116509-e364-4775-9098-c25f0b1fbac2.dsm
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\d92a4f0a-378a-4482-8fd3-bd127a05e4de.dsm
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5.dsm

(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\449da4ef-e9c1-5cb4-2ec5-fb9b4c27a865.dsm
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?

When you start, it asks if you would like to run build xip.bat.....just hit NO for that....
trojan reported in the attachment
Win32/TrojanDownloader.Zlob.NBP
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
