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.

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

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.
jeff: great work...
one bug i found: when i disable the modify rom and add programs i get an error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/jsummers/public_html/ROMkitchen/processor.php on line 480

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
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.
Hello!
Thanks to ppl from this forum I've managed to assemble from various sources files required to dump, build and flash back to device WM6 English ROM. It is not a "plug & play" style kitchen yet, so I call it "ROM Kitchen essentials"
Most of files are made by other people. Mine part was converter and flasher hacking. As for now, you have to edit dumped ROM absolutely manually. There are no support for initflashes.dat automatisation. You may want to use rgucomp to make changes to default.hv and user.hv.
Thanks goes to (not in any order )

Actual version is 0.1 and RAR archive is about 50Mb.
All required files (including WM6 Eng ROM distribution and flasher) can be downloaded from:
h**p://www.r*pidshare.com/files/47189318/Juggler_Samsung_WM6_Eng_ROM_Kitchen_0.1.rar.html
You also may want to download original WM6 English ROM from here:
h**p://r*pidshare.com/files/45439904/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar.html
And radio firmware (required for some i71x to work with WM6):
h**p://r*pidshare.com/files/45950071/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_Phone_Eng.rar.html
In case somebody don't know how to flash Samsungs i71x:
Make backup!
Have your your firmware at hand so in case of troubles you can flash your original firmware back!
Turn off device.
Disable all ActiveSync connectivity (usb, comm, etc).
Run flasher and click start.
Hold "down" button on device and turn it on while holding "down".
Flasher recongnize it and start to flash.
After flashing make a hard reset.
If GPRS/EDGE do not work your radio firmware is not compatible with new WM6. You have to go back to your original firmware or flash new radio!
To flash new radio firmware you should have SPECIAL FLASHING CABLE for samsung phones! It is not the one that comes with device!
Now you have options to buy such cable, build one yourself, flash your original fimware back or continue using WM6 without GPRS/EDGE - it is your choice.
So - to flash WM6 you need usual usb cable. New WM6 probably work with your radio. If not - you should flash radio!
Special flashing cable is the cable with USB-Serial adapter or plain serial cable:
h**p://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/datacables/samsung.htm
Search for UNLOCK / FLASH CABLES and you'll see
"Samsung D800 - T809 - E900 - D900 USB Cable
This cable is needed to unlock / flash the Samsung D800 - T809 - E900 - D900 etc."
Notice the difference with the usual USB cable supplied with device!
Have you read my thread on the Samsung i60x?
Hello, there,
Please refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316647
It seems very familiar to the i600. I will download your image just for the sake of taking a look... The ROM with header B000FF is prepared with the Romimage tool from the MS WCE IDE and is named the Run-time image, the nb0 ROM (that works with the WM5 kitchen) is prepared by Romimage by splitting the nb0 ROM in 128 KB records, a header is added containing start address, record length and Checksum 32. Then all this chunks are added together and compressed with another tool named compbin, the "encryption" you are seeing is no other than the aftermath of this compbin tool.
If you read myu thread you will find I was able to extract the flat image using cvrtbin (also another MS tool that comes with visual studio) you may grab a copy from here:
http://www.toradex.com/colibri_downloads/Linux/linux_to_wince/?D=D
Then you will be able to use the common tools from xda-developers such as prepare_imgfs (with the switch -acer) and so on.
Making the ROM back to the B000FF format is going to be the trouble. Again, read the thread.
There is also an excellent article on Mobilepro BIN roms made by cmonex, you can get a copy of that tutorial inside his Romtool packege, get it from here:
http://hpcmonex.net/nec900/files/releases/romtoolpack.zip
Be informed the Mobilepro ROM is very different in the way the Runtime file is organized, however is the best resource I have seen so far.
Besides, there are some really good tools inside that package
Best regards and start cooking!
trinca
Thanks trinca, at least I have something to read to start with. But the first thing a can't figure out how correctly RIP rom image from EXE file and then after modifing it PUT it back to flasher. There s.b. some proprietary tools for samsung phones or pdas.
Extracting the i718 ROM image: a suggestion

My friend, we are all navigating uncharted waters..., this requires some research, and the courage to flash the phone with the outcome of your research.
Please read my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1371344#post1371344
It will give you a hint on how I found out how to extract the O/S payloads for the i60x, pretty sure it may work for your model as well. A quick look to your executable shows the arrangement may be similar, I would say for the i718, the O/S ROM is located last as it is on the i60x, starting at address 0x01620000 now, just by looking for the end indicator (following the string B000F, 0x0A, 0x00000000 which is the ROM start address, 0x00CA5F03 which should be the offset -little endian-, actually would be 035FCA00), however be noticed the runtime image is compressed using compbin during preparation, therefore I would guess is a little more beyond. You may have to do some research here.
Start by cutting the area surrounding such an offset and use viewbin to determine the offset length and cvrtbin to find if your cut was successful.
BTW it would be nice to find a tool to just decompress B000FF Runtime ROMS. (differently of what it does cvrtbin converting and decompressing Runtime images)
One other thing you may do is to use xdautils, you may find those here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XdaUtils.
This collection of utilities has pdocread allowing you to extract the contents of raw partitions in the pda. Make sure to use the handle to extract each raw partition.

Trinca
I had no success with cvrtbin. How to decompress image after compbin? I've found pdocread and put it to phone, but it won't work :-( Are there any tools to dump ROM to flash card or something like that?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To decompress the image:
Get a tool named viewbin, also part of the MS PE, run it on your file and will tell you the start address and the offset of the img files. THen use this information with cvrtbin. If viewbin reports the start address is 0, then use 1 in cvrtbin, otherwise the extraction will fail.
To use PDOCREAD, you run it from your computer, it will install itsutils.dll in your phone and you must accept this in the smartphone. Your phone must be unlocked to do that and the policies set to allow unsigned applications to be installed in your phone. TO accomplish the above you need to modify the registry on the phone. See how it is done here:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=244205
TO dump the ROM with PDOCREAD, see a detailed procedure here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
Be informed some phones like the i607 require the disk kernel handle, reported with pdocread -l, if you follow the procedure in the above link with no results, then add the disk handle.
Wish you good luck....
CAn Anybody help PLEASE????
I have a i718 but was bought in China and the OS is in Chinese. The blur me can only read English. Is the ROM in English? If I were to download it (still struggling now with the russian words), how can I change it? All I need is the phone to be in English. I do not need to improve anything as WM5 is good enough. I know I am a newbie and I might not be in the right thread. Can anybody please help? Any links to show "how-to-change the ROM" would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance
Your phone is also known as i710
Your phone Samsung i718 is the chinese version of the Samsung i710, all you have to do is to install the phone serial/modem drivers from the companion CD and place the phone in bootloader mode. If you get the ROM package cited above in the first post of this thread by JugglerLKR you will find complete instructions on how to download the ROM into your phone.
Good Luck!
Thank you
Thank you very much for the quick response sir! Really appreciate it. I finally managed to download the ROM and will give it a go this weekend. Wish me luck. I will be reading more to make sure I am doing the right thing as I am definitely a nOObie. First time flashing a phone .
I looked at the CD that came with my phone and the only thing I see is the ActiveSync 4.2. Worse of all, everthing seems to be in Chinese. Guess I have to do more research to see where I can get the drivers you mentioned. There are also alot of things I do not understand like bootloader, how to do a hard reset, etc. I will continue searching and reading and will post the development of my virgin "flash" as I move along.
Thank you once again.
Trinca - so I dumped my ROM from device to .raw files. What can I do with them now? viewbin shows only zeros on b000f .bin image extracted using winhex from .exe
Use Mamaich's ROM Kitchen
You can find instructions to do some cooking and tools here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836
This is self-explanatory, tell me if this is enough or you need some extra info. Once finished, the trouble would be to put that back in B000FF format for flashing, as there is no tool to do that yet, and you can't just download a raw image back into the phone. The Runtime image is formed as follows:
Byte---->--1--2--3--4---5--6--7--8---9--10--11--12--<----------- 128KB------------>
Record 0> 42-30-30-30-46-46-06 <Start add> <lenght of ROM> -----------------(42-30-30-30-46-46 = B000FF in ASCII ; 06 = end of header B000FF)
Record 1>--<Address> < length > < CHKSUM32 > <----Chunk of Raw image-->
Record 2>--<Address> < length > < CHKSUM32 > <----Chunk of Raw image-->

Hello People
I have coded a solution for extracting roms automatically and make it ready for Bepe's Kitchen.
How to: V2
- Extract the KitchenV2.rar
- Put the extractRom.exe and the Tools2 Folder wherever you like (but it must me together in a folder)
IMPORTANT: DONT RENAME THE Tools2 Folder
- Put a nbh in the Tools2\NBH or a os.nb in the \Tools2\OS
- start extractRom.exe and chose your file
then Wait. It takes a few minutes and your kitchen is ready.
Be sure that the rom is not protected else it doesnt works
WORKS ONLY WITH THE NEWER GENERATION OF PHONES!!

many thanks for your effort - but unfortunately I must say that I have yet to find a
working dumptool for bepe's kitchen that fits the average user.
Using your toolset (put in the root of my drive) seems to create the structure just
fine but whenever I use build_rom.bat (from your kitchen or from bepes) it just gives
me an errormessage from platformrebuilder.exe:

ERROR! (errorlevel: -1073740777)
please press any key ...
I tried with the new HTC 1.93 GER ROM btw.
Any thoughts on that ?
/mst
P.S. why does yor tool need another location than platformrebuilder that makes it
even more difficult?
Thx for this, great work! one issue: I have made my Diamond roms with Surface Kitchen so far. I give this a go and I take one of my own roms and dump it and rebuilt it..I made no changes every thing went fine no errors and the new OS.nbh was created. Then I flash it but it dont boot, just the splash screen came up? the txt which allways come up normally where you seen the radio and protocol version didnt shown at all..How come?? What did I miss??
OK now I test a stock .nbh file and now the rom boot, but my finnish xt9 was gone I got just the ordinary keyboard in the rom, and the phone canvas is missing too in the rom, random acsess is gone
I used the 2.03 nbh
i use it for every "OFFICIAL" & "ORIGINAL" Rom
and it works greate..
i am working on a update,but for now it works.
greets
released V2

Great job! Perfect THX very much
thx for yours feedbacks..
I met an error like this:
Error: 0x80000009
'boot.rgu' does not exist in th specified paths!
Error! (errorlevel:1)
does this means the rom protected?
yes, when the rom is not protect or original it works 100%

Hello People
I have coded a solution for extracting roms automatically and make it ready for Bepe's Kitchen.
How to: V2
- Extract the KitchenV2.rar
- Put the extractRom.exe and the Tools2 Folder wherever you like (but it must me together in a folder)
IMPORTANT: DONT RENAME THE Tools2 Folder
- Put a nbh in the Tools2\NBH or a os.nb in the \Tools2\OS
- start extractRom.exe and chose your file
then Wait. It takes a few minutes and your kitchen is ready.
Be sure that the rom is not protected else it doesnt works
WORKS ONLY WITH THE NEWER GENERATION OF PHONES!!
TESTED WITH: NIKI, DIAMOND, BLACKSTONE, BREEZE

dude i tried to extract wm6.5 rom with this. it did not extract ROM folder so i had to manually copy it. after that when i run the rom builder i get an error that boot.rgu is not placed in right paths. i think its supposed to be in XIP and it is there only. then why this problem?
Alternative to hypercore or another guide alternative to ivan's?
I much appreciate the effort he has put into his guide and it has helped a bit to get an idea of what goes where but the step by step process must be missing numerous steps...
Mainly I'm curious why when buildos is creating an os.nb file it gives me an error that the os.nb file is missing from hypercore\build\rom... I'm trying to create it from sys/oem why does it need it to exist already...?
Following the guides there were several spots where step a didn't lead to step b,
any suggestions to alternatives? Where'd you learn from before these guides were made?
Edit; Also... 64bit compatability? :/
Thanks for any help;
Edit2; Another issue I ran into is the guide advises to copy ifles to Working_Folder but that folder does not exist for me,
It does however in his easycook kitchen... Is that merely the folder structure preferred by ivan or was hypercore supposed to result in me having a working_folder?
For now I just pasted OEM and Sys into workingfolder from easykitchen to change package options but ... Kinda lost >_<
edit3; also it seems that my OEM folders just end up being tons of folders like "btooth.dll" or whatever...When extracting OEMAPPS folders are they supposed to bare any resemblance to the OEM folders found in the justMe easy kitchen? Cause they sure don't ...
Alternative??
I am not a pro cook but reading info/instructions seemed pretty simple and plain but application process is really confusing.
I have 32bit XP I followed the instuctions step by step, extraction didn't work for me but solved with first .nbh to .nb extraction tool than the .nb extraction command tool but the command doesn't start the builder. did it by duble clicking or going back to step 1(dump rom) and getting it done. final products are .nbh file created with dutty htc rom tool. flashing always failed corrupted file!! I use offical T-mobil rom and only removed the useless pictures, ringers, help files(never used), media player, transcriber, entertainment(games), netCF, adobe reader and page pool set to 4,6 and 8 all failed to flash (hardSPL for v 4.26)
Have unsuccesfull results with holly's kitchen default sys and oem folders. I don't get this may be i'm moving something i'm not supposed to
can somebody post "absolutely not to remove" or "OK to remove" list to compare mine??
appreciated any reply
god bless all cooks.
