i would like to edit nk.nbf files (of course just for personal use).
have searched hours for an editor, but i cant find anything useful.
plz help me !
AFAIR you should only generate nbf file using "kitchen", not edit them.

are you sure ?
i found this app that allows you to edit WM 2003 nbf files (sadly it doesn´t work for 6.1 rom nbf):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ER2003Edit
is there an other way to edit WM 6.1 images ?
(maybe i can drop them from the device in a format that can be open)
editing nbf files
try this it works a treat and will help you understand thing a little more, Then you could read up on how to port it up a bit higher once you'v learnt how it works hope this helps be carefull when you CreatROM read the text in the dos window the "free sectors" !!!! 0??? To 0001 is good, 0001 been the full to the brim ! ( ffff???? ) is bad ! if bad do NOT flash to your device start buildOS again and unckeck something ealse read the readme or guide file carefully also explode has a kitchen out that's good search for kitchen on this site there's a assortment out there have fun REMEMBER be CAREFULL or you could brick your device however you edit a rom Most time if you screew up you can flash a 2003 shipped rom and alls well agian but if you flash a rom that's fare to big you will over wright your boot sector and that's NOT GOOD

I think I read some thing about dumping from the device ! But it's very complicated to do and if you get it wroung then it could damage your device Buzz-dev has a program called grabit see his site it copys the rom from the device to The SD CARD as a *.bin file then you dump that instructions are there, I have attached a zip i found on this site moded a bit for myown use it will dump BA or Hima put it in C:\ and right click it select extract here PS (you need winrar it's free just search xda site for it) My decompilers not complete but should give you some idear or how it works, You say u got explodes kitchen follow his instructions and build his rom when It says put your device in boot loader DON'T. Wait untill the build is finnished Press ctrl + C then look in upgrade folder and you should find an nk.nbf copy this to Swamp395Decompiler folder so you see it with PKGTool then double click BA_Disasemble.bat when that's finnished double click PKGTool.exe then "File" "open" from menu navegate to swampy395decompiler\dump click OK read screen then When that's finnished meun "tools""build packages" you should have some missing files if you look at the one called sys it should look simaler to explodes kitchen!! Then spend some time reading xda site good luck Remember the risk is all your bla bla no responcerbility ETC
I'm learning myself ! But if i can help i will, I'v been Building My own kitchen It's getting close but not got a booting rom yet but soon I HOPE
PPS pda viet rom Don't bump so well
swampy395
It works !
i easily put the nk.nbf file in C:\Swampy395Decompiler\ and start BA Disassemble.bat
a dos window opened and dump the rom in C:\Swampy395Decompiler\dump
all files of the rom are now in this folder and i can edit them.
but i have still some questions:
-how can i make a rom out of the files in \dump ?
-how can i edit registry files ?
-is there a way to change the rom language ?
greetings from germany

Just a quick thought you'v got a kitchen and a rom built in that kitchen put the rom back together as it is in the kitchen IE copy the layout you'll find some *.rug files missing download athers himalaya kitchens and read the help and guid files on how to build a kitchen and use explodes kitchen as a referance see if you can put it back together without copying files out of explodes kitchen If you manage that then you should be able to make a higher build kitchen of your own good luck

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!

hi
i need help to customize my rom by adding few programs as default, like icontact, pointui, etc which i use routinely
i have tested few available roms, which all are wonderful, i was hoping if i can add and delete few programs from it. i am able to dump the rom and make few registry tweaks using available 6.1 kitchens.
i am still trying to delete few applications from dump folder and add new cab files.. i need someone to point me in the right direction,
thanking in anticipation
Check out the PPCKitchen, it's very easy to use! You can build your own ROM from scratch, give it a try.
ok sure i will check it out, didn't heard of this kitchen before, will it work for my himalaya also
Jirrah...if you are cooking for Htc Himalaya...try out my Kitchen (its in my signature)..
yes ather i have tried your kitchen and infact using your dark rom, amazing work, but in your kitchen when we dump the nbf file, there are lot of dll folders and files, which confuses me and i cant understand where and how to add new cab files. i read about oem packages, but how to put with your kitchen, cant understand...
what about this ppckitchen and tofclock kitchen, are these for himalaya also.
however ather kitchen is very userfriendly for a noob like me
maybe if you can point me in right direction....
thanks
Well..its very easy once u get the hang of it
After you dump it...u will have lots of folder..to make them into OEM and SYS you will need Package tool by Bepe..but remember not all ROMs work with this tool
as far the OEM pacages are concerned..its a lil bit hard..first download the required OEM then extract it in a seperate folder...then delete the option.xml from it..then copy the files,shortcuts,RGU's,DSM's and paste them into the dump folder..dnt touch the initflashfiles.txt file yet !
when you reach the step where you get the prompt to edit the initflashfiles open that OEM's and copy the lines form it and paste it in the prompted initflashfile and then save it
MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE TWO BYTES FROM IT AFTER SAVING IT...ELSE ROM WILL NOT START
to remove those two extra bytes..open the initflashfile(the prompted one ) with any hex editor and remove the First two bytes named FF and FE by pressing the "Delete" Button and then save it and then FLash...
Im here if u need any help
Enjoy Cooking !!
[nevermind..good luck, anyway..]

Why do u need the OEM and SYS folders..are you porting a XIP or something ?
searching the forum it seemed to me that oem and sys folders are essential for custom development...is there any other way??
for starter i would like to add e.g icontact in rom, it is available as cab, so how do i add in dump folder and then compile . if i convert it ot oem package then how that can be added to dump folder...
also what should be the error fail size or maximum size of the rom
thanks
I hope i can help u learn how to cook rom and makes it more easier!
1.Structure OF THE KITCHEN
ROOT OF THE KITCHEN-------
dump----> This will contan files dumped from ROM,like OFFICIAL ROMS.
OEM---->This folder contans all the OEM DRIVERS and OEM software
ROM\XIP\ ---->contain boot.rgu,don't mod or del it!
SYS -------->SYS of WM build
SYSNEW ------>TH SYS OF NEW version of WM building u will proting
temp ----->temp files,and ROM files u cooked are here
TOOLS --------->All tools that ness for cooking
XIPNEW ------>NEW XIP of WM version.there are two styles:XIP.BIN and MSXIPKernel.u can porting them by choose correct method in my bat command
reg&iniflashfiles_tools ------->Tools to edit reg files and initflashfiles.
HOW TO：
1、IF u don't want to Porting new version of wm and u just want to mod ,u can dump OFFICIAL rom.
TO DO：Place official ROM in root of kitchen，run "dump ROM.bat" and follow the instruction.when finished,u will find OEM AND SYS in DUMP\DUMP.Move them to root of the kitchen.and move xip.bin in dump to root of kitchen and rename it to xip_out.bin.Now,u can edit softwares in OEM and build as u like by run"Build ROM.bat"
2、IF u want to cook new version of WM build,just down load new SYS AND XIP file form somewhere like DFT.usually,u may only need these parts:COMM，COMM_0409,WVGA_COMM,WVGA_COMM_0409 and XIP.
UNZIP COMM，COMM_0409,WVGA_COMM,WVGA_COMM_0409 to SYSNEW folder,UNzip MSXIPKernel form XIP to XIPNEW folder then run"Build ROM.bat" and follow the guid.
sorry for my english...
hope u can understand...

sorry for my mistake..
i forget something important
just creat ROM\XIP\ folder in root of kitchen and put this boot.rgu in it

The original toshiba rom was 253mo and the new one is 244mo...but I didn't remove anything!!! Is this just because of the xip directory error i have during the "buildOs" process?

Size difference is mostly because of the IMGFS building, which may well be skipping free space at the end (used for ImageUpdate). It shouldn't matter too much.
I'll stick this, and unstick the other kitchen.

Dumping your 6.1 rom it seems that in the dump/dump folder the OEM and his sub folders are not created, so all the data is loose.
will try some stuff and see where it gets me

When dumping a cooked rom it is unlikley that you will get an OEM folder, i do not know why but the OEM parts can be found in the sys folder and relocated. Only dumping an original rom gives proper file segregation, ie OEM+SYS
Made my own rom now. Changed a official one and put some oem's in OEM folder.
Have some questions though:
How do you add the information to the rom , that it automatically adds a xxx.lnk file in startmenu for each program you have been put to OEM Folder??
Also how do you insert another input keyboard to the rom??
I wanted to add Neo2007 driverpack to my rom but it tells me that the xxx.dll already exists. how do i bypass this??
And how do I upgrade the netcf??
I now this is a lot of questions and maybe they are stupid, but i am totally new to rom-development. Thanks in advance

1.ALL files in SYS and OEM placed default in WINDOWS folder.check initflashfiles.dat in OEM_LANG_0409 and initflashfiles.txt in ur own oem folder.these files can change the place of file.
if u want add FFBOY.LNK to startmenu,add command like this.
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("FFBOY.lnk","\Windows\FFBOY.lnk")
2.input keyboard can be added by download someone posted,u may search ur self.
3.if buildos tells u that XXX.DLL or some tile already exist,check the name and search in SYS or OEM to see if there exist a file in same name.
if exist,delete them except the newest one.
4.NETCF in wm6.5 already version 3.5

Btw 1 thing concerning your 6.1 rom ffboy

I've been reading up on cooking ROM's and with the help of leeston i managed to create a basic ROM earlier in the week. After searching for guides / tutorials on this stuff im really not that much the wiser, i cant seem to find anything that explains it well enough, there always missing details. The actual cooking process seems fairly straightforward but its those extra bits im missing ie
how do i add my own packages - am i right in just copying them to the SYS folder or is there more to it ?
how do i edit the registry - I know how to edit the registry once the ROM is loaded onto my phone but how do i do it from the ROM without the phone ?
how do i add things to the start menu - When i add packages to the SYS folder and load the ROM into my phone the shortcuts dont seem to be in my start menu
how do i add sense - i've loaded the packages but it never starts and theres no sense option in today settings
im new to this so as you'd imagine the questions i have are endless ...
Im sure most of this info is on XDA already somewhere but i just cant find it, maybe im searching for the wrong term or something.
Any help from the chef's would be great, perhaps you could provide links to tutorials / info you've used when learning to cook. Im sure this stuff would be useful to everyone and may even encourage more to have a go at cooking .

I am still new to cooking but I'll tell you what i believe to be correct.
1.Yes. To add a package to a rom you put the package into the SYS folder.
However be aware that the kitchen used for the TG01 cannot handle EXT (visual) packages, only OEM (old) packages can be used. Use Totalfires package converter to convert between the 2 types.
The above info is not strictly true but is what you need to know when cooking for the TG and i don't have the time or knowledge to write a complete tutorial.
2. Editing the registry is all to do with .RGU files, you can create a package with a new one in or edit the existing ones within the packages in the SYS folder. You can edit them with notepad but i suggest using Notepad2.
Once you open an .RGU file you should recognize the reg key text in the file and edit it accordingly. As far as i am aware the file MUST have REGEDIT4 in the first line and an empty line at the bottom in order to work. Another way is to edit the regkey on your device then export the regkey using resco or something similar, then rename the resulting file from .reg to .rgu then open it in note pad and copy and paste it into another packages .rgu file, or create a custom package for that .rgu file.
The registry can also be modified using cab files during autorun, but this can be a little messy as the cab can be uninstalled by the end user causing problems.
3. To do this you need to edit the initflashs.txt file within the . This can be done manually or with one of the many package tools available on this site. The one i use is below, it does the hardwork for you, you click a few options and it edits the required files as needed.
4. Sense is a funny one. You should just need to add all the required packages to the SYS folder and away it goes. Unfortunately this is rarely the case. It should just a case of making sure all the sense packages are there, including its many dependencies. Sense is one of my weaker areas so maybe some one else has better advice.
Hope this is useful.
do you have a loooong far way, but read the forumposts an try, try and shortPin and try. that was my way, or is my way. i have don´t helping, all found with google and in xda forum.
unfortunately, my English knowledge is terrible. otherwise I would write more.
best to dump a officiels ROM or miROM5 , then you have an example

Hi my friend, I have a problem to cook a ROM with cab which required a reboot or witch have a information message ( SWYPE or GPSMOdDriver for example)
Do you know a solution for this please?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info leeston and miro ;-). I havent had time to try it yet but will be over weekend and im almost sure now i know where to find the registry files ill be able to cook something decent up since that was my main problem. Thanks again for the help.

I may be wrong but when the cab files are first installed doesnt it automatically reboot ? If not you can always do a manual reboot ;-).
I've tried everything to get sense working but im just having no luck ... copied the packages to the sys folder, flashes fine, boots fine but no sense and now theres no setting shortcut in the start menu ?
Could i ask for the exact procedure for installing sense please ? Im getting my packages from here but replacing the 2017 home with 2016. Could i perhaps be missing something ?
Thanks again

I have try to delete the line "Reboot" after autocabinstall but nothing change the phone always reboot ... I think the only thing is to do OEM package...
I have test with many cabs but nothing works same as you with Sense ...
Have you found solutions ?

The solutoin is to use autorun instead of cabinstl, you can then write a custom script to handle the input required by the cab.
However this is above my head, and i couldn't get autorun to work. FFBOY knows how but i doubt you will get his help as he doesn't seem to check any threads other than his own rom threads, and if he does his responces are few and far between.

Those are the packages i used and they work so it's not the packages, but i cheated and dumped a sense rom then modified it. I don't have time to try and work out how to do it properly unfortunatley.

Well atleast i know the packages are fine, i was starting to wonder if that was the problem . Theres some satisfaction in doing it yourself but like miro said i think its just too much for me, ill give it another go later in the week and if that fails ill just dump a sense rom like you did ... if there was just a tutorial on installing sense packages etc id be fine, with sense being so popular you'd think there to be loads of tuts.
I did some searching because i need a sense rom for the WM emulator to help me test a program i'm working on and i came up with nothing. So i figured it would be a good idea to try and cook one but i need some tips coz i've only ever cooked one rom before and it didn't really go well.
So thoughts and suggestions below please. I'm looking for kitchen suggestions etc.
Thanks guys.
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774430 I find it easy to create a self customized rom.

Cool, thanks, but i don't see how i'm gonna make this compatible with the emulator in the windows mobile SDK? have you got any more pointers on how to do that?
My kitchen is designed to allow you to build the rom the way you want it. It then outputs the rom as a .nbh file that allows you to flash to the phone. Your emulator sounds interesting.
You may be able to use the .nbh file and then read that into your emulator.

Nope, can't do that. i tried it with a copy of NRGZ28's energy rom. It has to be a .bin or .nb0 file.
Now i did some reading while i was writing this and it turns out a .nb0 file is the same as the old school .nb rom dump files i just need to figure out how to convert an nbh to a nb0 file
Thoughts?
*edit*
found a tool called nbhtool by dutty that should do it
*edit 2*
dutty's tool didn't do it but i did find this tool by Da_G. The problem is i still get invalid image errors from the sdk emulator. I have searched but not found any answers so i'm a little lost.
Any ideas, guys?
Hi,
Can you post here an nb0 that works on the emulator?
we can try to import on our kitchens and check if we can rebuild it with sense.
If we can make it works, we can save a lot of time of 'flashing' when testing changes.

The files in the emulator are actually .bin files but i gather that internally they are the same format. They are also 96mb in size so it's gonna take a while to upload to hotfile. I'll post back when i have a link for you.
Thanks for all the effort btw. I really do appreciated it.
link as promise: http://hotfile.com/dl/129295626/a4324d3/PPC_USA_GSM_WVGA_VR.BIN.html
M3PH, OsBuilder makes rom either in nbh, or in nb0 format. It's a professional tool - not just a "kitchen to cook".
HTCRIE (htc rom image editor) can extract the OS.nb from a .NBH file..
can you just rename the .nb to .nb0 if they are the same?
Ok i've got osbuilder. Had a quick read of the manual. Now what? do i need the sys/xip for a build? i am a complete noob at this so lots of help would be appreciated.
I've just tried to open an emulator image from the windows mobile 6 sdk with HTCRIE and got an invalid file format error. This is starting to become extremely frustrating. Especially as i can find any information on the actual format of the emulator bin files.
Did any of you guys get any luck with the file i provided? Coz i'm really stuck!
