mkrom for WM2003? - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

I have been looking for a mkrom that works with 2003 ROMs. since kitchen cooks 2003 rom, there must be one version of mkrom that works with 2003.
I downloaded the kitchen, and tried to use the small set under one of _/ directory to cook my version of 2003 without setting out the entire kitchen. but got into one problem. -- the xda does not boot
it shows the boot screen, and the G324e4, R6.10.00 4.00.11, then stops there
one thing I figure went wrong is:
the default.reg I got out of default.fdf is oly about 30k large while the old 2002 version of default.reg is more than 200-300 k large.
any one can help here? I cooked based on 4.00.11 rom, which by itself installs on my xda fine.

Hi Pine
If you are trying to add files to you're Rom you will need to use an original (Not one from Jeffs Kitchen) as the XIP segments get screwed if you try to re-write them. (not sure why) If you run Mkrom without adding additional files you will find it loads fine.
Richard

I was not trying to add my files at all. I downloaded a rom, followed the step to cook a new rom without adding any of my files. the resulted rom does not load. quite disapointing experience.
I used the 4.00.11 rom, used the 4.00.11 directory in the kitchen download, modified mkrom to comment out the wince 3 version variables and uncomment the 4 version variables.
anything else I should do?
or the kitchen downloaded from xda-developers.com does not actually work with 2003 yet?

O.K.
Rom Kitchen contains parts of the old Mkrom but relies on more perl scripts to do the work. I have done the same as you and it works fine for me. Best guess is you havn't converted the the default reg properley did you use tr -d "/0" <default.reg>default.txt to convert ? check that you can actualy read the output if its in hex then youv'e done it wrong. The output file should be around 8 to 12 kb

PPC 2003 and mkrom

Any brave soul try using mkrom in conjucntion with the 2003 ROM? I think I might give it a shot here in a bit but wanted to know if anybody had tried it yet...
I've managed to build a 2003 ROM. It's extremely tricky though. I'm working on customizing a ROM similar to the XDA Developers SER - as soon as I get some free time
I'd like to acknowledge all the help given to me by Developer Itsme in this endeavor.
Let me know any suggestions you may have for the new ROM.
sheran_g,
i didn't know u could use mkrom with 2003 rom image. can u please post how u did it? i created a special version based on SE 1.1 rom but would like to put the same programs into the new rom. any help is appreciated.
thanks

What's tricky about it...?
The modified registry file you make does not get picked up at the device startup. You need to manually inject the memory address of the modified registry file into the ROM in order for it to get picked up.
my latest romtools can be found at romtools
now it calls dumprom to find and fix the filedata offsets.
I think they should now build 2003 roms.
sheran_g,
can u post the steps that u take to buid it? i'm trying right now and its not working. i'm having little problems. can u post ur default.reg and initobj.txt? any other help is apreciated.
thanks
alex
Ok. Here they are in a nutshell:
Get the latest romtools.
Make the following dirs: romfiles, cfg, tmp, out, files, files1, files2
Split the ROM into Bootloader, bootimage, OS image, xipchain into the 'cfg' dir.
Dump the files in the OS image into a 'romfiles' dir.
Get the default registry file, initobj & initdb files into your 'cfg' dir.
Make changes to your default.reg and initobj.txt
Place any files you want loaded in the ROM into the 'files' dir.
Run 'mkrom.sh'
You should then have your new ROM. I'm sorry if it's extremely brief; you'll have to make do with this and the README file in the romtools archive file for now. You'll find my default.reg and initobj.txt files on my site: www.zensay.com/qtek/mkrom
sheran_g,
Have you created a decent working custom WM2003 ROM?
If so what Apps have you added?
How much ROM space does it use?
I've not added any apps to my ROM. I have only added a carrier logo file and made some changes to the registry. So I cannot comment on ROM space yet. The ROM works fine.
sheran_g,
what command did u use to extract rom files? did u do it under windows or unix?
I'm having problems trying to dump the rom image. I don't know if its too much to ask, but can u zip ur directory and post it somewhere so i can download it? or if u can post commands that u ran to dump the 2003 rom?
thanks

Hi,
could you include "O2 home zune" to the 2003 image, like in the 2002 3.19 GER. Its for Germany interested only!
AR :?:
home zone depends on specific 3.19 rilgsm features. which are not in 4.*
okay, used dumprom -4 -d files -q nk.nbf and extracted all files. Got could not find pointer for ofs 00000000 ERROR but all the files seem to be there. Trying to figure this out. Saw the above abreviated directions but am fumbling around. Anyone have concise directions?
Val
Anyone? Just give me a good hint then please.
Hi all!
When i overwrite the rilgsm.dll file in the t-mobile 4.0.10 image with the rilgsm.dll from the O2 GER 3.19 image, i could use the "O2 home zone" option with the hz.exe in Starup directory? rilgsm.dll from german image hes 'at+creg=2' string in it. probably the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call is now implemented. When it can work, how could i write the german rilgsm.dll to the image? I haven't linux, could somebody cook the image for me?
here is the germen rilgsm.dll and the hz.exe for the "home zone" funktion! http://www.nokiaprog.de/XDA/home_zone.zip
THX
PS: Sorry, my english! ;-)
AR
the homezone enabled rilgsm.dll depends on other dll's and exe's.
probably ril.dll, stk.exe, cell*.dll and maybe more, I have not tried
replacing all.
you don't need to build a new rom in order to experiment with this, you
can just copy the desired files to \windows, to override the rom versions.
And I don't think it works with the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call,
but adds some notification events.
to change the CREG setting you need to call RIL_DevSpecific with parameter 25 ( to turn it on ) or 26 ( to turn it off )
even though that does not seem to be how hz.exe does it.
Hi,
I opened the image file in the Hex editor and renamed the file there rilgsm.dll. Then I flashed the image, which was phone probably deactivated, because rilgsm.dll was missing. Then I copied over ActiveSync the German rilgsm.dll into the Windows directory, XDA reset and he not accept the file. I assume because the file was not in the EPROM memory! Therefore I wanted to have rilgsm.dll first times in the image!

XDA-developers ROMkitchen: cook your own ROMs

Announcing: ROMkitchen
Special Edition ROMs are soooo yesterday.... We're proud to unveil our largest project yet: ROMkitchen. Now you too can modify your ROM to contain precisely what you need. Create your personal ROM, based on the ROM you like.
Wanna see: Have a look at our showroom kitchen to see what we mean. As you can see the showroom kitchen shows the PPC2002 based 3.17.03 ROM released by O2, as well as the 4.00.05 Microsoft WM2003 test ROM. Neither of these ROMs is really present though: you need to download the scripts, include your own ROM images, and run the scripts on your own unix machine. But once you do, you and your friends can create ROMs to your heart's content.
Why didn't we just include these files and make it all work? Because we're not licensed to distribute these ROMs, that's why.
So now what?
Play around to see if you like it.
download all the files visible when logging in using FTP to xda-developers.com username 'kitchen', password 'kitchen'.
Put them on your own unix machine, which should be capable of executing php scripts, and which should have a 'little' memory, disk and processing power left over. (We're afraid ROMkitchen wasn't built with resource-efficiency in mind.)
Add your own ROM files, see the readme files in the "data/00[...]/_/cfg" directories for details.
Notes:
If you set up your ROMkitchen, make sure you only use it for yourself, and with ROMs you legally own. We're not responsible for abuses.
If you use an ftp-client which can ignore files which are newer on your side, you can regularly check for updates and always have the newest kitchen.
ROMkitchen does not yet support outputting self-extracting binaries a-la Jeff's exe. We're working on that.
ROMkitchen currently supports English language ROMs only. We're working on this too.
The welcome exe is back in ROMs made with it: a little too much hassle to make our own. So you'll have to go through the silly tutorial every cold-boot.
XDAunlock is missing still. (It will be incorporated, but most people will be making 4.00.05 ROMs, and it doesn't work on that anyway...)
How does it work?
The ROMkitchen consists of a number of php scripts that present the form with all the options to choose from, and which copy files ready for our 'mkrom' utility to process. If you take a look you can see the raw structure of the data that is presented and inserted into the ROM. We'll find some time soon to explain, but you can already learn quite a bit if you look at the files and directories carefully.
xda-developers u are AWESOME
I'm going to try it as soon as i get home tonight. So all that is needed at first is a 2003 or 2002 image file?
thanks
alex
This looks awesome
Is it possible to run this program on Cygwin ? I have configuered the Cygwin download to include Bash and Perl but can't find a reference to dd. I confess that although I have a reasonable amount of programming experience I have never used Unix before so don't even know how to invoke the scripts so any help would be much appreciated.
Richard
just uploaded everything to my unix box and tried to run setup.sh from 4.00.05 directory. i also uploaded bootloader.nb0 and rom.nb1 files to the cfg directory. when i run ./setup.sh this is what i get:
[[email protected] _]# ./setup.sh
Usage: splitrom <romimage(s)> [options]
-wx xipchain where to write xipchain
-wo osrom where to write output image
-wb bitmap where to write bitmap
-wl bootloader where to write bootloader
-rl bootloader which bootloader to use for NBF
-n nbfinfotext what NBF header to use [ex: PW10A1-ENG-3.16-007]
-ri nbfinfofile or where to read NBF header info from
-wi nbfinfofile where to save NBF header info
-rx xipchain where to get xipchain from
-rb bitmap where to get bitmap from
-rm [email protected] insert new romsection.
-ob offset where to find the bootup image
-oe offset the end of the desired os image ( default: 0x81f00000 )
-t NBF | B000FF | NB? | IMG type of result image (default is NB1)
also when i tried to convert the default.fdf file to default.reg i get error saying "unknown fdf file signature" and it creates a 0 byte default.reg file.
any help is appreciated. i know i'm asking too many questions, but same happened with ur mkrom tools and once i got answers from u i was able to build roms without any problems.
thanks
alex
Hold on a tick, if you guys added one more feature it would go nova, however. Some features I would like to see is the ability to mix drinks, roll joints, cook dinner, and cure premature baldness/cancer.
It would also be nice if you could arrange for the program to be delivered to my house by the drunken, naked Chinese twins, Fok u and Fok me.
You guys are the bomb. Keep up the great work!

this implies that you should also have setup a webserver, for running the php scripts.
you will have to change the 'splitrom' commandline in setup.sh depending on what source file you have.
it is not a configure all automatically script, just a guide, to what sort of is supposed to happen for setup.
Holy Cow, you guys are amazing....
This is just a short message to say I'm fighting with it as we speak. My friend's box does have PHP, this is good. I've already found that it needs two subdirs under its root ('download' and 'workspace') to be world-writeable. Took me a while to figure that one out. Haven't got it running yet though, this ROM setup.sh thing is far less than intuitive. But I have the two ROMs which have all the other mumbo-jumbo done: 3.17.03 and 4.00.05, and I will get this to run, if it's the last thing I do.

OK, here's the status:
I'm close, really close. It wouldn't detect my OS, the bash on the system I'm on is in /usr/local/bin instead of /bin and now it's complaining about a missing perl file. I'm working on it though...
probably you are missing http://search.cpan.org/author/GBARR/Scalar-List-Utils-1.11/
which is included with perl 5.8, but not with perl 5.6.*
if you don't have root access to you box, you can also install ( see the README for build instructions ) list-utils in your home directory, by editing the generated Makefile, and changing 'PREFIX=$(HOME)', and then adding
Code:
export PERL5LIB=$HOME/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.*
to your environment. ( with '*' your perl version )
It's working
It's working!!!
With a little help, I got it to work !!!
Have a look at http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
I just created my first ROM!
Hi, I tried create 4.00 based Rom on Jeff web and it works... thanks.
I discovered only small problem, that there are not installed links in Programs to extra included programs. But I can do it manually for now.
I tried to start my version of romkitchen on my notebook but I was stopped on integration PHP to IIS. I tried some last installer php-4.3.2-installer.exe for Windows but I got CGI error when I tried to access index.php. I'll work on it.
I hope that it will run too, like mkrom on Cygwin.

Ah, you haven't noticed that we put these in subfolders maybe. Go to Programs, and you should see subfolders. If you unchecked the option to put in these subfolders, then you have also unchecked everything 'below' that, meaning you haven't installed these programs.

I had unchecked only few of programs to fit in ROM 4.00 free memory.
But folders in Programs like Phone, System tools,... were not in this case created, but they were checked.

REQUEST: zipped Kitchen
Hi !
Thanks all developers! Great work
One request though: please put a zipped version of your ROMKitchen at your ftp -> downloading hundreds of files is a mess *g*
Thanks... Jabba
This is so frustrating: I had it working perfectly, and now all of a sudden it stopped working. I'm working on it...
It's working now. Not really sure what was up, but it seems to have fixed itself.
Nice!!! These new ROMs are sooo cool. All the programs are stored in neat subfolders with icons....
I did find that D9 and PocketCHAT (The EVB apps) do not yet work on WM2003. It complains some EVB shared files are still missing.
Hi Jeff, just to say I've successfully used your ROM builder principally it has to be said to get hold of 4.00.05 so I only choose the Hot Fix item.
Checked in startup (which I've not looked in before) to see the hotfix and its there, there is also aFlashman, cFlashman Handsfree poutlook, SMSReciever, stk & Ussd. Are these part of the normal ROM? Just want to check that the thing is running as lean and clean as it can.
Many Thanks

Extract Files from ROM???

Does anyone know if there is a way to extract files from ROM? Since we can add files via MKROM is there a way to either extract files from the ROM or the .nbf or .nb1 files?
yes, just use the dumprom utility but remember you wont be able to pack them all back in for the compress.dll is not being utlized yet.
You can get dumprom for win32 here http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html
Dont forget dumprom can extract files from 4.x roms with the '-4' commandline option.
What I would like to do, if possible, is to extract the files that makeup IE in the 4.00.10 version and then load them into an SPHi700 running the 2002 ROM. Then change the registry keys and see if it will work. It appears that there are only two files required though there might be more. If it needs API calls and entry points in the OS that are not there in 2002 then it wouldn't work. Otherwise I would have an upgraded IE in the 2002 SPHi700.
Any idea if I can do this and if it will work?
Hi Barjohn. Thanks for the info regarding the "g" and I have found a rom of .05 that it works with.
As far as taking IE from .10 to ppc2002 I don't think it will work. The architecture appears to be different, as well as the registry structure. Something like Win98 to WinXP.
Just my .02 but that is what I have been reading online.

Building Rom using MKROM

Can anybody please help me to build a rom? specially to the XDA-developers, thanks in a million...in advance.
My question is:
1. Do i need a base rom(no program included) on the cfg/(rom.nb1)? is it necessary ?
2. what is the maximum files i can put in the files/ directory? that will be splited by mkrom, i know it is depending on the version since 3.17 the maximum for all files is 5 M. how about other version. 4.01,4.05, 4.10 and 4.16
3. when i run the bash setup.sh nk.nb1(4.05), using parameter for 4.05 i get a message "!!! your rom is not known to me: md5:fb9e70c5786f08e4db6db7c184c59704" is this normal or it is not define on the splitrom.pl ?
4. what kind of editor did you use for building a BMP file with 16 bit, I tried to use adobe photoshop 6.0, but i can not seem to save it as 151 k, the option is only 24 bit and 8 bit, if you can give me a site where i can download it , i will really apreciate it.
Thanks for the Help..
More power to the XDA team
and
Welcome TMO 4.16!!! (which i think no diff with 4.10)
1. yes you do need some kind of rom to start with
2. you can check using
Code:
perl splitrom.pl yourrom.nb1 -ob <your bmp offset> | perl calcgaps.pl 0x3ffff
and add the sizes of the holes.
you have to figure out where the bootsplash is for your rom. ( for new roms this is most likely 0x81ec0000 )
3) there is a list of 27 roms I know about in splitrom, if I never saw your rom, the signature will also not be there.
btw, what rom do you have?
4) I think we used photoshop for that. ( Peter Poelman knows more about that )
thanks for the reply XDA developer Itsme,
but how can i build a baserom with the rom i have, I have a ROM 4.05 which i created in jeff's kitchen? or any site where i can download the base rom 4.05?
I have a ROM 4.05, 4.10 which i get from jeff's kitchen and also the original 4.10 TMO. regarding the signature of the ROM, i read your splitrom.pl and i found out you 27 list of roms, but i didn't find that signature "md5:fb9e70c5786f08e4db6db7c184c59704" is it because my ROM is not base ROM?
my param is ;
wincever=4
start1=21740000
size1=0040000
start2=003c0000
startbmp=81ec0000
startop=81b00000
I'll still try to use the photoshop, maybe i miss something there.
Please correct me if i done something wrong with my commands.
I have Perl 5.8 and cygwin, installed in windows 2003
then make the path for perl/bin and cygwin/bin
then i copy all the things i need to build a rom in one directory including nk.nbf(with jeff's 4.05) and mkrom tools(which i got from the demokitchen)
i run "perl setup.sh nk.nbf" to extract the bootimage.bmp and rom.nb1 to cfg/ directory
then i dump "dumprom -4 -d files -q nk.nbf" to extract all files in files directory
then i convert "perl fdf2reg.pl files/default.fdf cfg/default.reg"
"tr -d "\0" <files/initobj.dat >cfg/initobj.txt"
"cp files/initdb.ini cfg/initdb.ini"
then in files/ directory i delete all the windows files i leave only the program with the dll i wanted to add in the rom like total commander, file commander.. etc...
(I compare it with the original files of WM2003)
then i run "bash mkrom.sh out/out.nbf"
but i got an OVERLAP message on the screen
and also the same message like i told you before "Your rom is not know to me"
Please Help me with this because i want to build my own rom according to the program i need.. and many thanks.
split rom does not recognize romkitchen roms, since they vary too much.
you should use an original rom, not one from the romkitchen.
the overlap means that somehow the params file was not correct.
or maybe you just tried to add too much files.

Thanks Itsme, thats why splti rrom can not recognize the ROM I have, I'll try to search for the base ROM in the forum, or can you give me a site where i can download the baseROM, I think that's why I am having a OVERLAP because there is a added program on my ROM, XDA-Developers File1 and File2 is duplicated.
It answer my question regarding the ROM i have, thanks a lot man you really a good help.
Now my only problem is to find all the base rom so i can start cooking some ROM.

Someone help to dump WM5.0 Emulator image.

The WM5.0 emulator is working on my PC.
Japanese Emu, S-Chinese emu, and T-CHinese, emulator. also english.
i want dll, mui, exe files from them, to make Japenese or chinese WM5.0
on my Himalaya with english WM5.
Hope someone can help to dump it or make dump tool.
i have a dump tool my friend made for WM2003 emulator, so not worked for WM5.0.
if need emulator image from WM5.0 SDK, i will upload i them.
Please help!
ms would be pretty stupid if they made it possible for one to unload a real rom image from an enulator
as far as i know then all roms have to be 100% made / "compiled" for each pda to work
so unless that emulator was using an 100% image of the rom for the device you want to upload it to later
i doubt it would work

i used this way to make japanese OS on my Blue Angel with PPC2003se.
Mr, Mamaichi teached this way to me in the past.
for your refference

Japanese site, but you can see the JPGs
ooh got a bit confused then i guess
Asukal
You can dump the ROM image from WM5 emulator with a normal dumprom tool, but first you need to convert image from B000F to the NB format with the command:
perl splitrom.pl PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN -wo ROM.BIN -oe 0x82000000
and then dump it as a normal rom:
dumprom.exe ROM.BIN -5 -d C:\ROM_DUMP
I've tested that on english version of emulator.
you'll need splitrom.pl script and a new build of dumprom tool from itsme.
Mamaichi>>>
thanks for your information!
i will try it!!
Thanks Mamaich!
after i got your private message and done it!
i got dumped roms files form mnu!
@Japanese OS image
@Simple chinese OS image
@Smart phone (WM5) japanese image
after succesfull them, the splitrom have error on following emu image.
@English OS image
@Traditional OS image.
i dont know why???
may try to restart windows system and try again
any way, i got it!
thanks!
hi Asukal,
can you please give me the links to your emu images?
i'm too lazy to search.. ;o)))

what is the error text? I've dumped english ROM without errors
to mr,mamaich
i got successfult to dump english SDK emu rom after that.
But i took Bin from SDK in another computer.
I guess Bin file which i tryied dump at beggining was broken or have some problem??
or i have already opened and drove this emu image on the Emulator many times so it was not default already.
i have never tried again about T-CHinese Bin.
i think it can be possible if i took out another T-Chinese bin from another SDK.
the error text was...... cant remember exactry because i left that computer coz i am trip in europe now.
maybe.....
This image files has incorrect(or invalid) boot image.....or some like that.
sorry my late rplay.
I am in Germany now and have to visit Milan and paris after here.

MUI's in wm2005
Hi, everybody!
I followed this thread and successfully created some MUI's for 2005 (I think) but I can't get the device to load them. I tried changing the registry settings (worked for 2003se) but it didn't help.
No changes I made are visible and the files can be deleted, so I guess they are just ignored for some reason.
Can anyone help please :?:
Thank a lot!
that is true, also cant do that.
keep on studying now.
Something different from WM2003!
MUI security signature?
Hallow again!
I think the problem might be with the digital signature Microsoft now requires. :idea:
Also I made the following experiment:
I put the resources in 2003SE MUI officeres and btres and it did load, but when I tried it with shellres or coresres it didn't work.
I think it won't load unsigned system files…
Any ideas?
Any leads will be greatly appreciated!

Re: MUI's in wm2005

Hi, everybody!
I followed this thread and successfully created some MUI's for 2005 (I think) but I can't get the device to load them. I tried changing the registry settings (worked for 2003se) but it didn't help.
No changes I made are visible and the files can be deleted, so I guess they are just ignored for some reason.
Can anyone help please :?:
Thank a lot!

because on 2003, files are copied to RAM. on 2005 are used directly from ROM.

buzz_lightyear. 2005 can also load dlls to RAM, for example when they are started from storage card or built-in storage.
There maybe one more reason. The DLL may be not loaded if your resource DLL does not have some resources that the original DLL has. Or if your DLL is somehow incorrect. You should make a program that calls LoadLibrary() for your MUI DLL and check the error code if it does not load.
For MS Smartphones there was a registry key that allowed to run unsigned applications. Maybe the similar method exists for WM5.
Asukal. I've attached the program that would try to dump shellres.dll of your device to \storage card\shellres.dll. I've tested the program only under emulator, on the real device it may crash.
If it would not crash - you should look into the produced DLL to examine its resources. This dumper would produce DLLs that are unable to load (they have no relocations information), and their size is larger than it should be, but resources should be extracted correctly.
PM me if the program crashes. And it probably would crash. I'll try to do something.
Mr,Buzz and Mr,Mamaichi!
thanks your comments, and i have just back from Paris and too tired to try mamaichi`s testwm5.exe
aftre sleep while, i will try it! (i dont afraid crash! glad to be sarifice!
I'd recommend you to try this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23520&start=25#152044
To mr,mamaich
The first attached testWM5.exe dumped only dump.dll(?)
the second TESTWM5.exe of the link can extraxt installed files also, and RAM files can be dumped.too.
but not crashed.
i will remake MUI file and test it!
Thanks!
