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

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.

It looks as though you do not have an appropriate ZIP program...
You may want to see if bzip2 will work instead of zip, or get the linux version of RAR.
The issue though, is you do not have /bin/zip, which is an executable file, not a directory.
Maybe someone can verify what compression executable to use instead of /bin/zip...
J

Ok got that resolved but now when doing zip it gets permission denied. Any other assistance is greatly appreciated. Then should be able to have yorch and company's kitchen running

I would verify that the user that is executing the shell (mkrom) has execute permissions to the zip program...
you can run (as root)
Code:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/bzip2
to change permissions on the bzip2 executable file.
That will give root all access, and everyone else read/execute access.
Also, if the zip program uses any temp directories, make sure the same user has read/write permissions to those directories as well (Probably not your problem, though)
J

Ok got that resolved....now here's what i get....is this a safe error or something I need to worry about? How can I correct it?

Looks like you have the same execute permission problem with the tounicode exe.
Try to fix that.
About the drparse.pl, I have to look at that file, to see what it is trying to do...
Ok, here is the line:
Code:
open FH, "./dumprom $romfile|";
Looks like it is trying to open (as a file) the output of the dumprom executable.
So, dumprom is failing, probably ... yes, I see it now..
Verify the permissions on dumprom as well...
In fact, all *.pl and *.sh files should have execute permissions, use the same command as above to set them.
This reply is a rambling one, I know, but I wrote is as I was doing the research.
Let me know if it helps you.
J

Here's what is weird. I have changed those permissions as you said previously and still get the same error. What's strange to me though is I can run the kitchen with rom ver 3 something, but all of the ver 4 roms come back with the error. Any idea as to what the cause of that might be?
btw jta thanks for all the help. If you have time and would like to look at the box for me I will get access to it for you. Thanks.

I got it all working now. Thank you thank you thank you very much for the help.

Ah, good to hear that you have it all working now!
So, when do we get to try it out?? (wink wink)
J

Very soon....we are now putting finishing touches with other software installs....so will be very very soon.....

type:
cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -s /usr/bin/zip zip

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
