Help with 23112 port for the Blue Angel - Windows Mobile

I posted a thread asking for help on cooking for older devices, but no one seemed to have an answer for it. I figured I would give this thing another shot and the device gets past the first screen, but it never gets out of the second boot splash. I have attached the kitchen that I am using with SYS already ported.
Without further ado, here is my attempt to a kitchen (based off on sun_dream's 28230 kitchen)
http://hotfile.com/dl/36427122/da04c1f/HTC_BlueAngel_WM6.5.3_23112.rar.html
Any help will be appreciated!

did you recmod any of the files in sys? or ext? ive never cooked for blue angel but im sure it doesnt have a native 6.5 nk.exe and that means you need to recmod some files for kaiser i always recmodded my whole ext folder, and all modules in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie...give that a try and see if it helps

Hey twopump,
I tried recmodding the modules that you described there (which I also saw on another thread that you replied to). As far as the ones in the EXT folder (my kitchen has a OEM folder, which I think is the same), they were all recmodded by sun_dream. BTW, you are absolutely correct about the BA not having a native 6.5 nk.exe.... that is usually the downfall of a 5 year old device , but I know that it can be done since there are newish roms out there for the BA (28230 being one of them).
There is no way you can look at my kitchen and tell me what's wrong is there, is there? (I guess the answer is no, but it is always worth asking).
Thanks for the help.

ok i took a look at your kitchen, and im pretty sure i know whats wrong. the first thing i did was open up your sys folder to check if you had recmodded browsing, browsingie, browsingcore, and you hadnt they all still had the modules in them....except you didnt even have browsingie in your rom only the 0409 pkg lol. then i noticed that you deleted the netcf pkg from sys as well, that will cause your rom not to boot. here is my solution to your problems, start over with a fresh complete sys, only delete the things that arent needed, then convert every module in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie to a file. make sure you have netcf and cook you should have a booting rom

Thanks for the advice. I honestly cannot put browsingie and netcf at the same time simply because the BA only has 32 mb for rom and the kitchen essentially errors out before getting to the end. The other issue is that the rom will not even boot if I take either one of them out. I did recmod all that you suggested, but still nothing...

I would appreciate all the help that I can get . The kitchen that I posted is a modified version of a 28230 kitchen by sun_dream. Basically, I ported the XIP and the SYS folders from 23112 into the 28230 kitchen. Originally, I had included the same exact components in the SYS that sun_dream had included in his kitchen (his is fully functional btw), so I am at the point where I am running out of ideas on what I could be doing wrong. I know that you cook for the Nike, so the way of cooking will be completely different, but some of the core knowledge is still the same. Any suggestions are welcome

No, these are "old style kitchens" I am pretty sure that EVK will not work with these kind of roms (they are of the nbf type and not nbh). If you would like to send me your SYS, I would not mind taking it for a spin.

I would give atry to Recmod all EXT packages as TPC said.
Your FWUPDATE and SQM in sys folder are dummy or M$ originals?
You need absolutly Net and Browsingie as TPC said ,at least delete some useless apps in OEM packages.
I made a 23112 SYS within only the needed and already recmoded plus the dummy fwupdate and sqm, you must put them in an EXT folder or convert them in OEM.

I believe I have the real FW and SQM folders in there. It is truly weird though, if you take a look at the original sys folder of the 28230 kitchen, sun_dream has no netcf nor browsingie in there, and he has no recmodded files in the browsing folders either, yet his kitchen spits out a working rom...
At this point, I am beginning to think that my xip might be bad...

You dont need netcf to build a ROM. Ofcourse most of our programs these days wont run unless you install it after...
I do agree that it doesnt make sense...

NetCF can be installed post flash either by hand or some customization method (sdcustomization, uc, sashimi, etc)
Let me go a little deeper into the world of the BA. The process is pretty much the same as it is with all devices... flash a rom, hard reset, and reboot. Depending on the packages that I am adding to the SYS, the rom will either get stuck while hard resetting (which is the same as getting stuck in the tri-colored screen (keep in mind that for the BA, the tri-colored screen is *not* bootloader, but the first bootsplash)), or will go through the first screen and get stuck in the second bootsplash (here is the kicker, if you connect the device to a computer, Activesync will see it and try to connect, which means that some of the windows OS components are loading...)
I am finishing charging up my BA and I will flash deep's SYS and will let you all know what comes out of it

If I look in your common folder I see Chome is still in, that's a huge memory eater, not sure what you are cooking and if you need it.
Another thing; if I take out NETCF in my rom device setup starts looping in a continue circle and I get a warning about AutoVer.exe.
I hope this is of any help.

How to update SYS

Here is a very very n0000000000000000b question for Chef Central, sorry if I annoy the masters .
I have Installed EVK 1.8.2 as well as osKithcen 1.25 and also dumped HTC Asia ROM (official) for my Touch2 T3320 its 21854 Build.
Now I want to make a ROM with a new build, so I have downloaded
SYS_23638_XIP.rar
SYS_23638_Common.rar

After unzipping the files, how should I incorporate them into my ROM using EVK (or osKitchen).
P.S. Please do not go by my number of posts, most of them were used in appreciating the great work from chefs of Vox & Gene.

I guess they are not compatible with OSKitchen, I tried one of them using Import Sys option, and it said that it is not a valid dump to parse.
Any idea ?
OsKitchen? are you in oskitchen or ervius?
.dio file needs to be dumped with Xidump tool search there on the Da_G thread there are so many tools to dump .dio files

i think the OS kitchen import build feature is designed for the "rollup" builds...all pkgs inside a single folder. the ones you tried are divided into language, dpi, ect for ervius visual kitchen. all you have to do is open each of those folders and copy/paste all of them into one single folder, then run the import on OS kitchen i think it should work.

Well I have downloaded both, since I am new to this stuff.. want to check out both. And will ultimately adapt to the one which I am more comfortable with (i.e. get more help on )
Now I have downloaded these three files
21898_Rollup_All_Packages.7z
21898_XIP.BIN_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409_041D_0414.7z

Now here is what I did:
1. Unzipped all the files in a single folder named 21898 , it had two folders SYS and XIP.
2. Copied the SYS folder under EVK and renamed it to 21898.
3. Copied the content of the XIP folder to "C:\Ervius\Tools\xip.bin_new"
Now the problem is when I am trying to cook a ROM with this (Oh that kitchen is based on WM 6.5 Stock ROM (WWE ASIA) for Mega, it stops saying that I am using 6.1 NK.exe with 6.5 XIP and since the number of modules are too many, it will make an unbootable ROM. But I guess WM 6.5 have 6.5 nk.exe?
Where did I do wrong?
EDIT:
Even after deleting the existing kitchen and re dumping the stock wwe asia ROM, it is still saying that nk.exe is of 6.1!

Noup...
1.- Unzipped all files and put them togheter is just for oskitchen import sys feature... if you want it in EVK style you must to use the packer.jar... is floating arround is friendly to use and easy.
you dont need to modify nothing in Tools folder... dont touch it
From the pkgs you extract you just need to msxipkernel folder... that must be in C:\Ervius\ROM\shared\21898\

I have Touch2/ Mega T3320 (Not T3333), which have native 6.5 Kernel (it came preloaded with 6.5). The problem is I am constantly travelling ... So I have to use GPRS / Edge for surfing and browsing and ...... Bugging . so you can understand - I won't be able to upload the kitchen. Even to download the SYS etc, it takes me around 5-6 hours! But ... what to do??

welcome to real XDA and late night and prepared to drink so much coffee
Finally finished your great tutorial... but the thing is even with the stock ROM of Mega as base, EVK says that nk.exe 6.1 and not 6.5.
I simply dumped the Stock ROM and recooked it, no changes nothing. BTW I did got the nbhutil.xml with mega settings though...
Is there any other setting that needs to be changed So that EVK recognizes the nk as a native 6.5???
P.S. clicking on the Native check box does have no effect
i guess it isnt another settings the kitchen reads what you have in the nk.exe
wich build is your Original rom?
is 6.5?

ROM Loads but Freezes before Homescreen

Hey All, Im new to cooking ROMs and am trying to make one for TP2 Rhodium US.
Initially I was having issues with .netCF but that is fixed.
Now when I am flashing my ROM, I get no errors, but the HTC sense and Titanium interfaces wont load.
I can open the start menu and see about half of the things i installed, and half missing.
Any ideas?
Im using 23128 Sys and Ext files, Manila 2016, with the official HTC OEM 21887 base.
Sounds like you dont have netcf in the ROM!!

I just did a search, it is located in my Sys>23128>Shared>COMMON folder
I have added many files that I had previously removed to save space, and now I am getting this error when trying to create the build
"692 Modules present; Too many modules.... with 6.1 NK.exe and 6.5 XIP you' ll have non-bootable ROM.... Exiting..."
EDIT: I am now trying to recreate it in osKitchen Zero, and I see that I have SYS Build 21887, but i also have the 23128 file, could this be what is causing issues?
I have one zip file that has 23128 ZIP and SYS folders, and one that has 23128 Shared, MSXIPKernel and 0409... Do i just replace these over the 21887 files?
You need to check that box it says real wm6.5 kernel I think. Its been so long since I used EVK, I forgot what it says exactly.

Okay, it looks like it is going now, if it doesnt work this time Im guessing maybe im not using the newer 23128 files and folders in the correct place?

[Q] Problem: No changes take effect in cooked ROM in EVK!

Hi pals
I Cooked a WM6.1 19971 Official ROM for OPAL in Ervius Visual Kitchen. The cooked ROM seems quite alright except that:
1.The original ROM was about 100MB while despite the fact that I added a lot of packages, the cooked ROM is about 80MB.
2.None of my packages exist in the cooked ROM when I flash it.
Can you tell me what the problem is?
The smaller size is fine.
What do you mean packages not there?
Are the files not in the windows folder or are you just missing shortcuts?

What?!...EVK generates a build_log...look at this, and u'll see, what's in your rom.
Cannot belive that u've applied packages in EVK they wouldn't cook in....strange.
It is happened to me too in the beginning when i was cooking for kaiser and tried to cook inside HTC Mega packages with Manila 2d...i solved it using OsKitchen,lol.

Its not true,
OsKitchen compared to any other Kitchen is much more easy to use expecially for newbie users.
EVK it is much complete.
Which is the best between one and another its only a personal taste.

While EVK was building the ROM I checked the log it was generating. I saw all my packages. But when I used osKitchen it had problems with the *.dsm file in the packages and said that it's corrupt. I think it's the problem but I used package-creator-v2.7 to convert *.cab files to a package. So obviously the problem is with the package creator.
But on thing that's for sure is that newbies (like me) should stick to osKitchen.
FYI, Barin's OSBuilder has a .dsm autocorrection option.
Well, OsKitchen has its own package creator so all you need is to import your original rom and convert all your cabs again plus it has an auto mui converter,thats mean if that you have some 0410 mui's and you are cooking for 0409 oskitchen wiil rename all the mui for you.It worth a try.

Let's state this once for all: Ervius kitchen is basically a GUI to create _skip files that launches a giant batch file that does all the cooking and that needs to be customized for every device: if you created your own _skip files by hand and used a batch file to cook there would be virtually no difference. OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".
No offence and I do appreciate and use your work, but aren't all kitchens just fancy GUI's around a set of batch files and same old imgfstools and platformrebuilder from yesteryear?

Not really, I process all the files before feeding them to platformrebuilder hence the recmod/upx/tweaks/ordering/manila compression/etc without touching any of the original files. I also only use the newest tools available like libnb and osnbtool that the kitchen calls directly and checks the output to warn of any error and to get informations about the ROM format indeed it can import any proper BIN/NB/NBH file and cook it without even knowing what device they come from. The only original imgfstools I keep are nbmerge and nbsplit because I was waiting Da_G to finish his BuildNB function but osnbtool can probably replace both (nbsplit for sure with the -sp parameter).
@OP, it sounds like your package structure is wrong. Are the packages in EXT format (not OEM)? If they're in oem format, none of the files will be included. Just make the packages manually, it's a lot easier.
Can you please post the build log file?

My kitchen (OSbuilder) uses it's own engine to process packages, build dsms, rebase modules, merge dsm and build ROM file. The only external tool i use is "TurboImgfs" by airxtreme.
Yes , when i wrote that EVK ,maybe, its more complete then OsKitchen i was referring to this, only some tools.

Let's state this once for all: Ervius kitchen is basically a GUI to create _skip files that launches a giant batch file that does all the cooking and that needs to be customized for every device: if you created your own _skip files by hand and used a batch file to cook there would be virtually no difference. OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".

Don't let them get you down man. Ervius's kitchen is a piece of **** in my opinion. The GUI blows and it crashes on the smallest thing that's not exactly right with a package. Did I mention the GUI is horrible ?
I will say it as well, erv's kitchen is NOTHING but a glorified GUI for platformrebuilder which is the real workhorse.
p.s. I made my own kitchen GUI, based on platformrebuilder as well. Mine's designed to cook for 12 devices at a time though... so I can't exactly share it. PM me if you'd like the details necesssary to make Samsung Omnia 2 ROMs with prb though, it seems nobody else seems to know what the "secret" is... I just think they didn't try hard enough. lol If anything, you can add 4 more devices to your already impressive collection of supported devices

[SOLVED] Non-booting ROM - I'm doing it wrong

Greetings!
First off, I have little idea what I'm doing, this is my first attempt to create a custom ROM. I've searched around and can't seem to find a solution.
I've got an Xperia X1 and am using osKitchen.
The ultimate goal is to have a Japanese ROM with WM build 25369 with no additional UIs, i never use sense or whatever anyway, just the old today screen with cal, messaging, and time/date items.
I have:
Latest stock ROM for X1 (GENERIC_NAM_R3AA011)
23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 (Just Eng)
initflashfiles-dat-all-langs-updated-feb-24-2010.zip
RUU_Diamond_eMobile_JPN_1.81.881.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.48.25.26_1.09.25.07_Ship.exe (6.1 JPN ROM)
Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip
WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs.rar (This has all languages)
Here's what I'm doing, anyone of them (or all) could be very wrong, hopefully I've done at least one thing right:
Imported X1 ROM for OEMDrivers, OEMApps, OEMOperators, oemversion, oem_dpi
Imported 6.1 JPN ROM for OEM Lang 411
-What i did here is i copied everything over from the JPN rom's oem 411 folder into the X1 OEM Lang folder, overwrote any conflicts, deleted any 0409 muis, and copied over the file from initflashfiles zip for 0411.
Replaced OEMXipKernel with the one from Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip and selected custom XIP when making the rom with the one also found in that zip. Put the rest of the files (os.nb.payload, xip.bin, uldr.nb0, romhdr.bin) into the ROM Parts folder.
Then, I Used OS, OSFiles, MSXIPKernel, MSXIPKernelLTK from the 23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 zip, and the rest of the packages i used from the WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs rar (because it had 0411 files).
I deleted dpi and lang folders that my device doesn't use (it uses 192dpi 480x800 and 0411) and built the ROM, flashed, and it shows the Sony Ericsson splash screen, and then goes black forever.
I know I must be doing something very wrong, any hints as to what?
Thanks
Pfff, what a big list,
Okay I did it this way, and I make my rom in 12 languages and they are all working.
1. Install oskitchen and import xperia rom
2. After finishing import 23563 build
3. Install another oskitchen and import diamond jpn rom
4. Copy the oem_lang 0411 and the ext packages to your kovsky kitchen be aware you put them in the right place.
5. Open the kovsky kitchen and select the Japanese language and select the packages you wanna use in your rom and you're done.
Regards,
Cool thanks!
That would be for 23563 though right? What if i wanted to use 23569 with 23563 packages? ....No real reason, higher number, figure it's better somehow....that even possible?

Just start with 23563, it's a good package and if you have a working rom you can alway's make the change.

If you extract the 23569 build, you only have to change the All and Common folder, but in your first post you where talking about a 25369 build and I didn't know what kind off build that was.
Succes buddy,
Make sure you have the proper wince.nls in your build. If you leave it out, the rom won't boot.

osKitchen Zero STOCK OEM ROM Kitchens Pre-Built Ready to Cook! - Requests Welcome

Ready to Cook Stock OEM Kitchens​
It seems there is a bit of interest in Stock OEM ROM Kitchens all ready for cooking using osKitchen Zero, so I thought I'd offer up a few that I have working currently. I'm using the latest osKitchen Zero v1.33.5 found HERE because it's the BEST Kitchen out there IMHO.
I also want to take requests for Kitchens. I will do my best to make them work, but I cannot promise they will. I don't have all the devices, so I cannot test them, but I will post both the Kitchen and a ROM cooked from it for testing. At this time, I only know how to work with Windows Mobile Devices, so lets stay with that until further notice.
These will be Completely Stock and Unchanged. You can make your own modifications to them. I just wanted to give a jumping off point to those who are having trouble getting a working Kitchen.
For questions about cooking and modifying your ROMs, please refer to the thread for your device. This Thread is only to take requests for Kitchens and Posting the final results for your use. I will not go into how to Hard SPL each device, again, check your device thread for more info on that.
I'm going to start off with 4 Kitchens and we will build from there. - ATT Tilt, HTC Trinity P3600, HTC T-Mobile HD2, and HTC MEGA.
If requesting a Pre Built Kitchen, Please give me a link to the Stock OEM ROM and any extra info you think might help. I suggest finding the Latest OEM ROM.
All my ROMs and Kitchens are Custom Packaged for easy use.
The Kitchens are Self Extracting. Just Run the EXE file with my SuperMan (SuperSport) icon to extract the kitchen to the current directory.
The ROMs will be AutoFlash files. Again, simply Run the EXE file with my SuperMan (SuperSport) icon to Automatically Extract and run the RUU Updater.

This one is larger because I've included 23504 and 23569
I'm interested but i have a question. Would you be prepared to to a HD2 rom with XDA_UC included and configure it in such a way that XDA_UC is launched on first boot? I've played with oskitchen before and got good results but this little trick is something that always evaded me.
As for links. You could use the tmous version you have already as a base as that would work with all Leo's
Just wondering, if my device has no HSPL, will this work too? Or if there's only SSPL? Or really nothing?
I mean, it can't work with a not-HSPL'd device, unless you was able to crack ALL SPL's out there?

I don't believe you can flash a ROM to any phone that does not have HSPL flashed to it. I can pull out the SSPL, but I don't think that will be all you need. What device are you trying to cook for?

I cook for HTC Photon (HD Mini), but don't worry, I'm using OSBuilder now. However, I used OsKitchen before and I liked the CFC thingy. In OSBuilder I had to patch Manila manually
How do you mean "pull out the SSPL". Isn't that stealing of the work that DFT did? And SSPL is diffirent for each device, I can't imagine you want to look for all devices if they have HSPL or SSPL and implement that?

Yeah that would do i could probably work it out from there but if you fancy setting it up so it looks for stuff to run from \storage card\xda_uc that would save me some time.

If you can send me a link to the Latest ROM, I will convert it to osKitchen Zero if you like. Sounds like your phone is all ready for flashing, so it should work fine.

Will do exactly that. I will place the download link in this post to keep the number of posts down.
EDIT: Instead of posting a complete Kitchen with XDA_UC included, I've attached the XDA_UC EXT Package that will do what you are wanting. This package will work with ALL of the Kitchens I will be posting. Unzip the file and copy the folder "SuperSport Base XDA_UC" to the following Folder in the Kitchen:
"HD2 T-Mobile osKitchen Zero v1.33.5\Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\EXT Packages\HTC Leo Packages"
Once copied over, restart the Kitchen and find the new EXT package in the EXT Packages Tab. I hope that made sense, my mind is tired today.

My phone can flash custom ROMs thanks to SSPL. But it looks like you don't get my point I meant that if you give us a kitchen made for our phone, you should eiter include a manual how to flash HSPL or flash custom ROM with SSPL. Or you should edit every kitchen you make for each phone that SSPL or HSPL is included in the RUU your kitchen has included (or generates).

I think I understand, and I'm sorry for being dense. My mind is tired today, as I mentioned above.
If you cook a ROM using this Kitchen, after it completes building the ROM, it will ask if you want to open the ROM folder. If you say "Yes", then inside that folder, I will have the RUU Updater included so you can flash the ROM. Everything needed to flash will be there, except for HSPL. Each Kitchen will have the correct SSPL RUU Updater included for that device.
I figure people will already have HSPL taken care of at this point. Consider this an advanced thread, not for complete beginners. If someone does not have their phone HardSPL'd, or does not know how to do that, then please check the threads for your phone model to find out how to accomplish that. This thread will be solely about releasing Working Complete Stock OEM Kitchens that can be modified any way you like.

First of all I have to say that I like your idea.
But do you really think is useful to a have a kitchen based on a stock rom wm 5.0 or 6.0 now? There is a very long road to drive to achieve a wm 6.1/6.5 cooked rom since that...
You could also post an almost updated profile (oem/xip/sys) to integrate the stock rom.
Surely I could also post my old trinity rom, 6.1 sys/nk 19965 based on ervius kitchen 1st version, with opal manila2d, but it is 0410. Probably a wwe edition here would be better...
Ciao
P.S. I'm curios to try to import my old trinity kitchen into Oskitchen. I haven't trinity any more but would be nice to test the same 3 years old release made today with these new and a lot more advanced kitchens
OsKitchen converted for Omnia 2 (i920)?
Well, I use to cook with OsKitchen for the Omnia 1 and now having issues adapting to the new kitchen. On OsKitchen's thread it says it can be adapted for other devices with some processes I'm not sure how to do...
Here's a link for the latest update for the Omnia i920:
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=561&AT_ID=226255
As far as I know, we only need to cook the PDA part, not CSC otherwise it won't load, and I'd be happy to test anything out that you may need. I know there are a few others interested in this type of kitchen for the Omnia 2 (i920 CDMA-not sure about the i8000 GSM)
Thanks and I hope to hear back from you!
Sorry if I misunderstood your post too, it's late and I'm tired, but my take is you can make OSK fit an OEM ROM basically no matter the device?! If you need more information, please PM me!
ONE last thing, if you build this kitchen, will I be able to edit it with new SYS/XIP, etc? can I build it off of the kitchen you create?

I will try to get a chance to build a ROM from the kitchen tomorrow and let you test it. If it works, I will post the kitchen. And yes, you will be able to use the kitchen and modify it any way you like.

I have question for you. Do you know if there is an nbh or NB file inside that update program? I tried to extract the contents, but was unsuccessful. Is it possible to start the update, then grab the NB or nbh from your temp directory? Since I don't have the same phone, it won't start the extraction process for me.
