Hello, after many hours of experimenting I've succesfully rum mkrom on cygwin to create a 3.17 rom. I did this from the mkrom.zip that xda-developers provided. The problem is I want to cook my own 4.00.21 or 4.01. I can't get a good rom out of it.
I was playing with the mkrom.sh that I got from the 4.00.16 directory structure of the xda sample kitchen but I can't get it configured correctly to even make a bad rom.
Do any of you have any suggestions or a mkrom.sh you are using to cook 4.x roms? I can't go the whole route to set up a Web Kitchen. Thanks - Jim
I was able to cook a bad room. loads up, shows the bootimage screen bright, shows radio stack, then dead. I believe it was becasue of bad registry file.
the problem is that whatever I do, the default.fdf extracted from rom by dumprom is only about 17k large. which is wrong, the default.fdf from 3.17 rom is about 333k. I tried all 4.00.xx roms, cooked or clean, I tried the latest dumprom, tried on windows or linux, tried with or without -4 option. all the same.
anyone can help me out?

Hi All,
Anyone else having trouble with the kitchen at both Yorch and RomanWeb? I've been trying to cook up a 4.00.05 ROM as i'm sick of .16. This is the error that i'm getting, appears to be a path issue in the scripts???
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directory
write xip block starting at 81740000, with 3 files
write xip block starting at 81b00000, with 158 files
this rom seems to be 4.00.05 ENG 2003-06-05 ppc2003
this bootloader seems to be V5.22 2003-05-15 17:46:55
no operator rom found
xip regions not found: 81b00000=XDA_DEVELOPERS2
Error creating new rom
Any help appreciated.

Whatever it was they must have fixed it because I just cooked up a 4.00.05 ROM and had no difficulties. So give it another go!
HTH
Still a problem for me, i'll try another machine...however can't see how this would make any diff.
hi All,
I tried another machine, with both the .05 and .10 ROM's with no luck. Exactly the same error.
I just can't think of anything else to try?
Thanks for your help
WOW, now thats really strange its working just fine for me!
I am trying to upgrade my Siemens SX56 to ROM 3.17 from Yorch.net,
I did the following:
1. Backed up the current ROM using OSImageTool.exe
2. Downloaded ROM 3.17 from Yorch.net in a .exe file format
3. Clicked on the downloaded .exe and I get the following error message:
Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC. Please download and try again.
Please help, I am a newbie!
1st mistake...DONT USE AN EXE to upgrade. Use the sd card method. Otherwise you will be screwed.
When I select zipped NK.nb1 (SD-card flashing) I get the following error:
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
:shock:
From what you posted it appears theres a problem within the Kitchen,
try back later!
HTH
Where else can I get 3.17 , the only kitchen I found was Yorch.net
Now the log shows:
adding: NK.nb1zip I/O error: No space left on device
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)

I'm guessing that the kitchen needs to have old results purged occasionally (possibly manually?).
Strange I used it earlier to get stock ROMs and I did all of them with no problem. Hmmm

You can use the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 its based on the same ROM.
XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 can be found at:
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe

Ignore my last post. I went back and was able to cook a 4.00.16 ROM, so it's not a server disk space issue (like the error message made me think).
And I just cooked a 3.17.03 ROM. Guess it might be back.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm still trying with no success. :x
I just realized Vallerhum has the setup I want, I also have a Siemens SX56 on ATT. Where did you get your ROM?
I got it from Jeff's kitchen before it went south. I am trying to get my own up for I have all of the ROMs to date.
Is your phone also unlocked?
How can I get your ROM? I am going to another country on Friday and need to unlock it before then so I can show off to my friends
No my phone is not unlocked. I am not planning on changing companies anytime soon but if you want to unlock it...just load the 3.17 rom or if you have ppc2002 just install the xda unlocker and then install the ppc2003 rom of your choice. However, always use the sd card method, dont use an .exe.
I was able to cook a ROM! This site is great: http://www.zensay.com/qtek/ceupgrade.html
Thanks all for your help!
Now, I'm playing around with other stuff and seeing If my unlock was successfull.
That site is not a kitchen. It is for teaching how to do an SD card ROM upgrade. Where did you cook (or download) your ROM? Cooking is the customization of ROMs with other softwares.
Every time I try to cook a 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro ROM using the SD method the last few days it comes back saying "ROM Creation Error. Click here to see the log.". And when I "click here to see the log" it says the fallowing:</p>
./mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files</p>
Also when I try the .exe method it finishes, and I can download it. But when I run it, there is a "ERROR 007 NO ROM IMAGE FILE" Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC. Please download and try again.</p>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx</p>
No problems here making a zipped NK.nb1.
What configuration were you trying to make?

Looks like there is a problem with the operaor Config Data......
Maybe cooking without Autoconfigdata will work fine.
Just try it...

pdhenry & LumpiStefan thank you for the replies. I have tried to cook a ROM w/ & w/o auto config. & using .exe & SD methods, and it didn't help. I just tried it again w/o auto config., and got the same error. :?
Hi there,
YEs I'm getting the same problem with the Kitchen.javascript:emoticon(':?:') javascript:emoticon(':idea:')
Hi everybody,
I tried many things to find a solution(w/without firewall, different browser) but so far, I'm getting the same message and the same result.
/mkrom.sh: ../../kitchen.local/mkrom-inc.sh: No such file or directoryno files for configid 26220739Cannot fit files in given sectionsError splitting files
Any others people who got the same message in the past?
Thanks,
:roll: :roll: :roll:
Hi Budney,
HAve you found any solution yet?
Could you tell me what are you using as browser?
Cheers,
Wow. I'm still not having problems. :? Running IE6 on windows XP (don't know what effect the browser would have - sounds like it would be a problem on the kitchen side).
Last night I cooked a vanilla 3.17.03 ROM, this morning a 4.00.16 ROM without problems. I didn't try to download and save them, but mkrom ran and completed normally in both instances.
tiluc - I am still having the same problem with cooking 3.17.03 ROMs. I think pdhenry is right, it's on the kitchen side.
pdhenry - I am running what you are XP & IE6. Were those ROMs you cooked .exe or SD? As the 3.17.03 .exe ROMs will complete, but when I run them I get that 007 ERROR meesage.
They were SD roms, and I didn't try downloading/installing them - just runnng the kitchen until it told me it was finished.

Lucky you. But lucky for me I did get two ROMs completed, they were on the plain side though. Right after I tried the first plain ROM I tried two more ROMs with a lot programs in them, but they both didn't work. I then tried another plain ROM, and it worked. So I would think that it's one of the programs that is messing up the ROMs. :?
That would be consistent with the "no such file or directory" messages you're getting. I guess it'stime for some experimenting... :wink:

I remeber a thread telling that you have to leave a certain amount of memory free when you cooking the ROM, I think it was around 200 KB or so. Try to uncheck some add-on software to keep, let's say 250 KB free (see the info next to green bar) and try again. It should work with any of the ROM versions.
sharkhan - I think you are correct. As I just tried cooking one up & left 250 KB open, and it was successful.
Hi,
I have been trying the excellent Jwrightmcps WM6 ROM on my Universal and all is well so far, but I want to be able to modify the extended ROM so that when flashing it installs updated versions of Skype, Google Maps, etc as well as add in a few other custom apps.
I have scanned the forums and have come across a stack of links to various tools, but am struggling to make any sense of them all.
I have managed to open up the nk.nbf file using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool, but cannot find how to open up the nk.fat file - I have tried WinImage, but it doesn't seem to want to play ball with it under Vista.
So what is the next step?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
OS.nb from HTC's 1.30.453.0 WWE ROM, including the latest GPS drivers in OEMAPPS.
You need to create a NBH file and use Hard SPL + Custom RUU to flash it.
ROM download Link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/136927344/ROM_Shangrila_HTC_WWE_1.30.453.rar.html
how did you convert the nb file to nbh? what program to use?
by the way where is this rom from?
This is the rom for canadian shift, with telenav in it. Make a good base for custom rom. Hope the unlock still work. Rom is nice and speedy, but snapvued
It works. It can be unlocked as previous rom, and gps is in there. Seems to have more storage space also. Nice rom to wait for new ones.
so.. how can i convert to nbh? nbhutils? tried it but ruu gaved me an error, something like "can't open file"
