first attempt on mkrom dirtribution

1.Get the ROM image form e740 via OSLoader
(http://www.pc-counselor.8m.com/e740ROM.htm)
The image file(e740ROM_Image.bin) size is 33,554,432.
2. run splitrom to convert image to nbf
(What is nbf? I try to use the image directory but it is not work)
$ ./splitrom.pl e740ROM_Image.bin -wo out.nbf -n PW10A1-ENG-3.12-001 -t NBF

some future work
The image should not work :lol:
I just have a try.
I wonder if what I do is correct.
And if the procedure is correct,there are some future work:
1. Obviously the operator info is useless for non-phone PDA.
2. modify init config for e7xx
3. how many space availabe for e7xx?
4. how can I delete files from the image?

mkrom with 2003 "mkrom.sh" code

Hi All
I am trying to setup mkrom to handle PPC2003. I have extracted / converted all of the files from a "bare" 4.00.05 rom from Jef's Kitchen and amended the operator files etc and am able to generate new roms. I now need to change the code in the mkrom.sh file to change the xda1.bin and xda2.bin, and so on, addresses to match the 2003 rom layout. I have the relevant details but my question is can I simply substitute the new adresses into the .sh file or is there more to it ?
Thanks for any help
Richard

the latest version of mkrom has all its rom dependent parameters in 'cfg/params' and instead of all the 'dd' stuff, I now changed splitrom to handle all the manipulating of image files.
the offsets you see in mkrom are defaults for 3.17.
the latest mkrom you can find in http://xda-developers.com/DemoKitchen/data/00_Base ROM/4.00.05 ENG ppc2003/_/mkrom.sh

Thanks again
Great site, Great team

I have downloaded the 4.00.05 directory of Rom Kitchen and placed the required files in the correct folders and ran mkrom. On the first attempt the program reported "can't find dumprom" so I copied in the entire toolset and ran mkrom again this time I'm getting an overlap error as below:

This output comes from a run with a Tmobile "bare" rom but I get the same with a 4.00.05 rom from Jeffs kitchen.
I had not wanted to install the whole kitchen if I could help it and from the code it doesn't look as if I would need to but something is wrong somewhere. I would be verry grateful if you could offer any thoughts.
Thanks
Richard

All sorted now
Richard

The kitchen is back up !!!

My friend's box is back up !
There was a problem which caused workspace directories not to be deleted under some circumstances, which caused the 'all workspaces are busy' problem. If all is well this problem is now also fixed.

First of all without yor kitchen we will not eat, thank you.
I suggest if you can put a version or last update date so the visitor check if there is a changes and highlite the new lines.
Thanks.

Sigh,
And back down again...
Guess we'll have to wait for it to come back up.

Hi! Jeff

Any chances that U fit in the 3.20 rom to your page?
thks in advance. :wink:

FYI:

Jeff, your kitchen is fantastic!! Thanks for all the great work!

@ Jeff. Thanks for the great work. Decided to try out the new anti-theft feature and received this when cooking:

ROM Tmobile 4.00.21

I am working on putting the tmobile 4.00.21 file in a kitchen. I have the .nbf and the .nb1 file. How do I go about getting the other files that are needed? I tried running one of the commands I found here in the forum but it tells me to extract the parts manually.

params
make sure you're setting the right params in cfg:
wincever=4
start1=81740000
size1=00040000
start2=81c00000
size2=00300000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81c00000
than you can dumprom ... delete all files in the files directory and place whatever files you want into there (try to stay in 81ec0000 = ~3Mb)
Decebal

So you are saying that in order to get the files necessary to put in Kitchen that I need to get a params file from one of the others and change the values to what you have listed. Then when I run dumprom it will extract the bootimage, xipchain, and bootloader files?

How large is default.fdf extracted by dumprom from 4.xx roms

I am doing mkrom for 4.xx roms XDAI. the default.fdf extracted from the rom 4.00.11 and other 4.00.xx roms are only about 12k in size. which is aparantly incorrect. The default.fdf extracted from 3.17 rom is about 333k.
Anyone can help out? I did use the -4 option with dumprom.

that is correct, in 4.x more settings have moved to the .rgu files.
the .rgu files are unicode ascii files. in a format similar to what normal regedit uses.

thanks for pointing that out. However, still get into trouble.
downloaded the romtool, use 4.00.11 rom image. follow the instruction. I can cook up a rom without putting any files in the "files" directory.
however, when I put in about 3M files in "files" directory. all the rest not modified, XDA won't boot up with the cooked rom. froze at the screen shows the image and the rom version and radio stack version number.
I got from the kitchen that I can put 3906k files inside this rom. is that right?

the exact size of files is a bit hard to calculate, easiest is to check the result for overlapping blocks. splitrom will usually tell you this.
btw, try to post a question only once, it doesn't help the discussion if I the same question is in multiple threads at the same time.

first apology for posting twice. first did at the end of one tread and thought it might deserve its own thread. and kept following up in both.
still struggled.
here is the output of splitrom.

I don't see any overlap in either of them, as far as the address are concerned. the second rom works and the first one does not
