Help with BuildOS.exe - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

I'm testing various tools on ROMs I've managed to break apart using various toolsets found on this very site - many thanks to the architects of these, by the way.
I'm at the stage where I have a ROM split into SYS/OEM/XIP and I'm trying to run BuildOS.exe on it - the process stops at "Creating Registry" and shows a dialog box saying "The system could not find the file specified" ...what file am I missing?
Anybody...please...!

I found the answer to this myself....it was because I was missing the "TOOLS" folder.

Kitchen Trojan?!
My virus software just popped this up on me after I tried to do a fresh re-install because I noticed that it seemed like one of the files dissappeared on me... What's going on here?

perhaps your anti-virus software can negatively react to the files 'customRUU'. This is a known fact

Yea. I'm not too good at computers but I always try to learn, so anything anyone would be willing to teach me would be awesome
But I don't see how the virus would call it a trojan. OUt of all things the virus software could identify it as that seems a bit strange to me. I was hoping maybe someone more advanced might be able to check it out or clarify for me?

I never thought at all as you say, we were both studying here...!!
try this [ WM Kitchens ] OsKitchen v1.33.5 Zero: The Complete Kitchen & easiest by airxtreme you can get in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948
if still indicated the virus by your anti virus then you should disable your anti- virus running during the cooking process rom

Copy files from ROM ?

Hi,
I'm trying to get around the problem of the quiet sound with the AT&T rom, I have another XDA running the latest T-Mo rom and was hoping to mess around with some dll's from the TMo rom to see if I could sort the problem, but the drivers used for the sound are protected somehow in the rom, so it won't let me copy them to my SD card or PC (which means I can't try it on the AT&T rom)
Is there any way of copying these files out ? and then into the AT&T rom ??
Cheers
Neil
see dumprom
No good for me then, I only have Windows Machines here..
Ok, I have thought of a possible work around, but I need someone with the T-Mobile WM2003 Rom (Pref 4.01.16) & Linux/Unix to copy the wavedev.dll & waveapi.dll from the \Windows folder and send them to me so it can try it out..
I'm sure its not only me that this "feature" annoys. it makes Tomtom especially useless on the voice prompt side of things.
Cheers
Neil
?? I don't see the problem, dumprom is a windows tool.
in case you had not found it yet, I added the link to the binary to the wiki page.
Ah right, excellent.
Sorry I assumed it was the same as the makerom tool which states its unix/linux.
-=edit=- I just tried the link on the dumprom wiki page, and get the dreaded 404 error
Thanks
Neil
oeps. a common wiki error, I forgot to '~'-escape the '~' in the url.
Thanks mate, it seems to be working now
I'll have a play about with it when I get home.
Cheers
Neil
Back again :lol:
The dumprom app crashes (tried on two machines) when I try to execute it. I have tried it with various command line configuations but the little windows xp error box pops up saying that the program must be closed
dumprom crash
Hi Swifty
Yeah I got this too - until I realised that I was the problem. I was omitting the myrom.nb1 filename (or whatever you have called yours) from the command line! D'Oh! What is your exact command line that you use?
it is known to be buggy and crash on certain roms.
I am working on an improved version in perl - dumpxip.pl
but it does not extract files stored as 'xip' yet.
:lol:
Silly me I done the same thing as you and omitted the rom file.. thanks
I have now extracted the AT&T and TMobile roms and compared the files, the AT&T's wavedev.dll is larger in size, I think this is where the modifications were made.. but I can't rebuild the TMo version into the AT&T rom because I don't use linux
Hopefully someone can help me out and we will finally have a perfect WM2003 Rom -=edit=- IF it works :lol: :roll:
Cheers
Neil
Carefull!
i fearbthat just swapping in the new dll may not help... it may have other dependancies that also need changing. The interface / entry points may also have changed and you may need a whole slew of other stuff and some other registry settings too. But pls go ahead and try... let us know!

Neil,
Use CYGWIN it's an excellent "Linux running as a command line in Windows" environment. It's easy to install, start and run commands. It comes up as a DOS box-like interface and Voila! You have Linux, stable, clean and fast, including the ability to build ROMs.

Help - file cannot be opened. not signed

I installed a medical program that is intended for wm2003 that someone altered so it would run on wm5/6, after softreset, some programs don't run. It says "the file 'autorun' cannot be opened. Either it si not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
I get this with a lot of programs. I uninstalled this software and nogo. I can't even reinstall .net 3.5 or .net 2.0.
Weird problem...thanks

Thanks, I tried it and even after signing several files, the ppc still says not signed... any ideas what files the ppc uses to check signing? Maybe I can replace those and be done.

I tried the same, deleting the files that were still installed (one ROM file was overwritten), but HR was the solution. Keep looking for the fault took longer that a HR anyway, didn't made sense at some point.

G'Reloc error...

I'm getting crazy over here...
from one moment my G'reloc does give me errors when applying.
It says:
Can not open file C:\Kitchen\SYS\***\***
*** = a different map/file each time
I tried different G'Reloc.exe files and used different SYS-folders (even ones that worked before without any problems)
Can not cook roms anymore because they will not boot somehow...
Please help me with this weird error..
What are the files it's trying to access?
Also check out the IRC room they have, if it's still up at least.

It's a different file each time....beats me...
But often it is one of the bluetooth related files....
Maybe the files you downloaded were corrupted. Try manually replacing the files, or just uninstall and reinstall the kitchen.

Ok I know a little bit more...:
I formatted my laptop and did a clean install of windows...
After that g'reloc worked again.
I installed all programs I always use on my pc again.
And today when I used G'reloc again I get the same error each time. Even if I use different locations or diffirent SYS folders (also ones I know they work!)
Which program or setting interacts with G'reloc???
Merten i don't use that program because i don't know what it does.
But i tryed to open it but i think i got the same error as you got.
Is it something like this: cannot open file (root\dir\imageinfo.bin).
And then you only have one option to click the ok button (this will exit the program)?
Know i tryed some other g'reloc programs what i got and the all gived me the same error pointing to the imageinfo.bin and then give me one option to click the ok button.
But there was one g'reloc program what did work and gived me no error.
I send a email to you with g'reloc.exe so it could be that it will give your virusscan some trouble because it is a .exe file I hope it will work for you.
I will back in some hours so i can't respons to your questions so fast.

Thanx man for the effort. But I did not receive a thing... did you mail to:

If your back maybe you can upload to rapidshare?
Thanx anyway!!
Well, I came across two things in PPCGeeks forum. People reported errors when they were running G'reloc on FAT32 en fixed it by changing to NTFS.
The other thing was that people reported a fix by just disabling their antivirus program. This might explain why it worked before you started installing all your programs on a clean windows install. I hope it works for you as well because I really like your roms

Trojan Warning when Using CustomRUU.exe

Hi everybody,...
When I try to use "CustomRUU.exe" for Flashing my device, I get an Trojan Warning (Kaspersky2010):
"Trojan.Win32.Regrun.gjd"
The CustommRUU.exe is the one from the RTT-Roms...
Anybody knows something about that?

If you get a virus warning from a customruu.exe then just use *THIS* one in the roms folder and it will go through fine. There shouldnt be any need to disable antivirus programs when flashing a rom, thats only required if having problems when installing HardSPL. I have a similar virus warning when using the customruu file included with certain custom roms. Nothing to worry about you arent under attack but if you are unsure then use the one I have provided and it will be fine

Same here. However it seems to be a false positive, as i read somewhere here. I've tried to put customRuu on Kaspersky's whitelist but to no avail. In order to flash my device, I had to disable Kaspersky.
beware mskip, the customruu contained in the link is also infected - see print screen attached
you can flash using romupdateutility.exe, check link below:

Hi,
I also use Kaspersky and it does kill your CustomRUU - not really a problem as all one has to do is disable the anti virus while you flash.

The virus warning is just detecting the packer that was used to make the customruu file. Its not a virus, kaspersky has a habit over detecting everything rather than just actual threats which is a good thing but can get anoying sometimes.
ok mskip, i trust you are right
I had never suffered this untill today after reading this page.
In KIS2010 i just added customruu to the exclusions list and all is fine now.
avast also does false positive for it.
Mcaffee does not.
Seems a particular version got affected may be and not all.
Got one from another cook along with his ROM and was detected as trojan by my Norton.
But, the another one i found in XDA was not.
Iam attaching the one seems good.
Those who have problem, try this and lemme know

Same here mine only started today, after flashing Smabergs "Touch X DISCOVERY v1.3" maybe it was the customruu with his ROM, I don't know, but I deleted the customruu and the problem has gone.
i prefer the chefs put in the folder .nbh file than customruu.exe

I think you may be right saying it's Kaspersky's updates. I don't use Kaspersky anti-virus, I use Virgin Media PC Guard, which I was told is powered by Kaspersky so maybe I get the same updates. Also I had lots of custom ROM's on my PC with customruu's in each folder and I have just ran a full virus scan and it detected them as having a trojan. I don't know what the answer is, maybe just close the anti-virus when flashing a ROM.

Kaspersky shows up the Trojan on this one too!. Like others have mentioned this has started showing up today. I, like the others, had to turn off Kaspersky to get it to work.
Well as per EULA flashing roms is not exactly legal now is it? Maybe microsoft is instructing companies to add customruu as trojan so standard user gets scared and does not flash.
just noticed it today..anyway i put it under exclusion threat..save the hassle of turning off and on kaspersky
Yeah I added it to exclusions. There is no virus in the ruu. It is a recent update from Kaspersky that thinks this a threat. It's happened in the past and I'm sure it'll happen again. Sooner or later the antivirus vendors will put out another update which will exclude these files again (marking them as safe)

Install Failure for any cab due to "not digitally signed"

Hello,
Tried to install all SDkCerts (which are having not expired dev certs) but still I get same error.
Also searched forum and got some info about below keys and changed still no help .
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101b"=dword:00000001
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
"00001001"=dword:00000001
"00001005"=dword:00000040
"00001017"=dword:00000090
Also tried to install Security Configuration Manager on my PC (Win7 x64), but unfortunately the Security Configuration Manager does not start and crash on start .
How can I install other unsigned Cabs?
I Appreciate your help .
Thanks.
Patch your kernel.
here is the tip
Nice thread , thanks AndrewSh for the pointer... I will try that.
Thanks.
Thanks for this information Thanks for this information
I would add that patching nk.exe helps not only to install unsigned cabs.
With unpatched kernel your device always spoils system time to check digital signature of EVERY system library or executable which is going to be started during operation time. So patching kernel you definitely speed up your system saving check-up time...
Yes absolutely AndrewSh .
But will that also not lead to open the system for some software that may try to exploit the system? We should be careful enough before we install any software.
I think here we should choose between speed or vulnerable one. I will go for speed as I know what software I install on device. Also it is BAD that every time the system check for all DLL/EXE for signature in a protected system.
Thanks.
prabhat, sure but I've never met real viruses or dangerous exploits for WP. All the "antivirus protection" programs for WP (or WM) is bull**** inspired by antivirus companies to suck your money....
nk patching doesn't kill all signature checks for wceload...

As always, Mr. ultrashot ruins all hopes But anyway it's better to listen to his opinion, than to mine one.
I really appreciate that he took part in the discussion, because he's one of the biggest authorities for me....
At least I have to sign all cabs with drivers/services, otherwise they won't install at all.

Thanks ultrashot for the input. So do you will prefer not to patch nk and sign all dlls/exe and install or leave the nk patched
Also for "At least I have to sign all cabs with drivers/services, otherwise they won't install at all."
So if I have a cab that will replace some system driver/dll and the cab is signed (I dont know where and how - need to learn ) the ROM will allow the cab to replace the file(s)?
Thanks.
Thanks.
If you want to install a driver with a cab, I think you need to use chainfire's driver-wiz to sign the cab file. I think that's what it's called.
Patching the nk makes the most sense; it does seem to speed up .exe launches. And I agree with AndrewSh. I've never heard of any winmo viruses, or bad cabs or malware at all. Now that the platform is fading out, I really doubt that there's anything to worry about.

Yes, DriverWiz helps.
//offtop: some drivers on some devices (wavedev.dll on x2, for example) can't be replaced in runtime even with DW signature. Signature doesn't really matter in this case, though.
So now I have patched my nk using the "autopatcher01" by cmonex.
What all are the ways to check if everything is good & nk is patched?
I have check most of work in device and all seems to be working and for nk I have installed some taskbar mod/icons (dlls etc in cab) and those got installed so I hope all good? Thoughts...
