Thanks a lot for your help! Well, I have created the raw file from my htc, but following the procedure to assemble a rom flashable I have some problems. When I try to convert the os.nb file (take it from official rom 1.25 htc cruise) to imgfs_raw_data.bin obtain the error:
aWaiter C# Port

[03_OS.nb] is not a valid OS file...
What is the mistake?? Thanks!

Hi saurabh88!
Just download the latest shiped rom you find, and dump it with visual kitchen.
Then you can edit your and change OEM/XIP/SYS/EXT.

first of all thanx my dear friend for the guidance.so if i had visual kitchen for gene and if i dump shipped rom from elfin then ihave had elfin kitchen na!am i right...
Correct!
After dumping an original Rom you have a base kitchen which you can modify step per step.
Download new Base drivers and replace the old.
Replace XIP/SYS with current one (be careful at the moment no native elfin kernel is available so do not set Real WM6.5 AKU)
...
..
i done made the rom but when i flash it it goes u to 89% then says unable to update,follow the imstr. to recover your device.plz help me.
THIS HAPPEN;
after downloading vk from the link u have given and dumping again my rom when i click to select my device while cooking it says me
"os value on NBHUtil.xml for elfo1000 not found.....set 0*4000 as default"
what is it mean?does it affect my rom?
After Dumping an original *.nbh file save the configuration.
That are the right settings for reflashing your Elfin.
I'm not sure if the OS id. effects your rom, but Chunk Size for elf(in) must set to 1024 (acording to nbhutility).
I do not have my Elfin anymore, so I cant test different settings.
At first download a cooked rom and flash it to get a working device. Or download the latest shiped rom from your provider. Than start dumping ant flashing again to see if the error is still there.
i done using shipped rom....chunk size is ok but now i m stucked at smart mobility.this is also happen with bepes kitchen.
one more thing if i flash shipped rom anything will be wrong?will it brick my device?
now, with Tg01 tool of Cedesmith ,we can decrypt the bin file of TG01 and T01A and i hope that some one help us to flash English rom for the japanese version of TG01 like T01A by comparing the difference between boot part of two devices...
yep
I have a t-01a too
good new for me, I am using T-01A
Waiting for it...YeAh
X02T too? work?
about t01a
I have noticed a thread in modaco forum, as follow:
TG01/T-01A ROMs in .enc format can be installed to any unit (Japanese or European) with this updated version. Once images in this format become available, it will be possible to flash T-01A with European ROMs.
this is said by stepw in modaco.
plz you could link the page?
you can find it from this link:
http://www.modaco.com/content/toshi...7/tg01-sddl-plus-install-rom-in-any-language/
about the need
the file of japanese is a .tsd file, not as eng rom which is a .tsw file.
I once try to exact the .tsd file using cedesmith tgtool, but it reply a erro....
who can help to cook japanese rom?
Hi all,
I try to cook rom for my device Samsung M490. I have a Ship rom in Korean language(0412) ( i cannot find the English one).
I build with new WM6.1 SYS/XIP (lang 0409) , the device boot ok, the language changed to Eng, but the setting shortcut not work. I cannot set the rington.
I build with new WM6.5 SYS/XIP (0409) and it cannot boot, the screen turn off after the Anycall logo appear.
Now can you ask me how to make it work with W6.5 build? what thing I will do, what file/folder will be change/edit?
My ship rom here:
Code:
211.189.38.83/umsvcbin/SCH-M490/SCH-M490_CI24_pda.bin
I do follow as below:
-Take out the XIP.BIN form a WM6.5 Cooked by chinese guy an use it as DEVICE_BINs , use a new build XIP.BIN (23662) as DONOR_BINs and use Xipkitchen to make a new XIP.BIN out.
-Dump Ship 6.1 rom, replace SYS by new wm6.5 SYS build (23662), repalce initflashfiles.dat by English one. add XIP.BIN out above into file OS.NB.
- Copy os.nb to \ROM, copy \SYS, \OEM, \ROM into kitchen an run.
- It is still not boot, please advice anything else to to?
Thanks very much for your help
There is too little info here to help you. Does your device have a native 6.5 kernel? You will need to have one to be able to flash a 6.5 ROM and make it work on your device.
You mean ''oemxipkerner''? .Samsung didn't release the wm6.5 rom. but i found some cooked wm6.5 rom in Korean and Chinese. can I take it from these rom?
I dont think so. You will first need to dump a stock rom provided by Samsung for your device. Then replace the oemxipkernel with a patched one, which has a 6.5NK.
I dump a ship rom already, I use XIPkithen to make a new xip.bin from a new wm6.1 release, the device boot ok , I do the same way with build wm6.5 but the device can't boot. where can i find a patched oemxipkerner?
You will have to search for it. You will need a 6.5NK for WM 6.5.X to boot on your device.
If Samsung has not released a stock 6.5 ROM for your device, chances are you wont have a native 6.5 kernel.
If you don't have a native 6.5 kernel, you need to recmod a lot of files/folders. This thread @ Mobile Underground has lots of good info.
You said you dumped a stock 6.1 ROM. In this ROM, see if you have a 6.5 Native Kernel by dumping xip.bin. Open nk.exe/s000 in a hex editor. Search for the ASCII string "platform". Near this string there should be the build number that this nk.exe was compiled against.
WM 6.5 builds began around 21100. WM 6.1 and previous builds will be <=21058.
OsKitchen can import the ROM of that phone and also seems able to rebuild it correctly (but make sure the final file is correct for your phone since there are something like ten different BIN file formats) and since it can already suggest the packages to recmod it could also help with 6.5.5 porting if you don't have a 6.5 kernel (which you probably won't find anywhere: the only modded 6.5 kernels I've seen are for htc devices).
thank airxtreme, i use os kitchen before. I dump a Ship rom and build it again, flash rom to phone and it not boot. I try to use new Ervius kitchen but i don't know how to make file OS.NB.PAYLOAD. Now i try a old type Ervius kitchen (5.3).
I just do:
-Take out the XIP.BIN form a WM6.5 Cooked by chinese guy an use it as DEVICE_BINs , use a new build XIP.BIN as DONOR_BINs and use Xipkitchen to make a new XIP.BIN out.
-Dump Ship 6.1 rom, replace SYS by new wm6.5 SYS build, repalce initflashfiles.dat by English one. add XI.BIN out above into file OS.NB.
- Copy os.nb to \ROM, copy \SYS, \OEM, \ROM into kitchen an run.
- It is still not boot, please advice anything else to to?

First of all - don't try to dump someones roms to get xip.bin or whatever!
Many guys, including me (does not matter - Chinese or not) - are deleting reloc sections and dsm files while building custom roms to save the space. So if you use such a xip - you will get non-bootable rom.
1. Take the latest OFFICIAL rom
2. Dump it to get original XIP and original OEM
3. Download new build that you want to cook.
4. Port new xip. Use the original XIP as donor of OEMXIPKernel and new xip from downloaded build as a source of MSXIPKernel & MSXIPKernelTLK
5. Take ported xip, OEM (drivers) from official rom, SYS from downloaded new build
6. Start cooking.
Very nice step by step explanation by Andrew. It doesnt get simpler than this!
The most important part - Dump the official rom released for YOUR device NOT for any other. You risk bricking your device.
Thanks AndrewSh & anand12 for your advice, i follow step by step but it only ok for a 6.1 build, and wm 6.5 fail to boot again.
Now I sucess to build an English wm6.5, my way is:
-Dump a cooked Korean ROM build 21815, I have \ROM, \OEM, \SYS, XIP.BIN.
-Remove all file/folder in \SYS but keep .ROM, .VM , Metadata, then copy all from SYS build 21815E(English-0409).
-add XIP.BIN above into OS.NB get from official rom an copy new OS.NB to \ROM.
-Now i have \ROM; \SYS; \OEM, copy them into kitchen an run. Flash new rom to phone and it work ok.
I try to cook a new ROM with last wm6.5 build, but i feel sad because it fail again.
Now i have some quesion, please spend a litle time to help me to clarify:
1. i think my problem is at "Metadata" folder. When we cook a new build, what will we do with "Metadata" (change all folder, change some file/folder or edit some thing) ?
2. I can not set the ringtone for my cook rom, both in 6.1&6.5 build. The "Ringtone" feild is empty as the picture i attached. What thing be wrong here?
Look you must have a 6.5 NK for your device. If not, you must recmod files. Are you doing that? Please be sure and clarify.
@theanh6: Can you upload your cooked here? Thank you very much.
Thank you all, It fully working now (with some small bug but no problem)
@Mrkid: Please send an email to me at [email protected] if you want to try this rom.
