Please Help Find File!!??

Hey guys, I really need some help here. I've posted this question in the original Kitchen forum , and on the individual ROM forums over at PPCgeeks, but there so crowded now that no ones helped. But I know one of you geniuses can answer this with no problem. So here goes.
I've tried to use PPCgeeks Vogue Kitchen for the past week. I've tried three different, I guess there the ROM selections, from three different people, plus the one that's with the kitchen. I've run the updater every time I start it up, so I know it's not that.
As soon as it loads up, I pick which ROM selection txt file I want to use for my selections. Then I go thru and pick the stuff I want on my ROM. When done, I click on the icon in the toolbar that says "BUILD ROM". It brings up another window that says it's scanning the files and creating a bunch of things. This all works just fine.
When It gets to the end, it pops up a error message and says that it cant find a file. Then it goes back to the Kitchen part. Thats as far as I can get. I have no clue what the file is, or where to get it or make it. The file it says is missing is located in ,
C drive/ Document and Settings/ "my user name"/ Application Data/ hIq INC
It wont let me upload the ROM straight from the Kitchen to the phone either. I guess that the ROM has to be built first huh? But anyway, Someone please help me here. Tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. I may be leaving out a step, but if so I dont know. PLEASE guys , someone, anyone, help me out here.

i was really drunk when i rooted my phone and instellaed fresh 1.1 rom .... everything is working fine so i guess i did it right but i erased everything on my phone... all my apps contacts etc etc etc ... everything.... is there anyway to recover this? can i undo everything i did to my phone since i dont really know what i even did and just root the thing....?

Well the fact that you were wasted says the guy who wrote the instructions did a damn good job lol. Props to them.
Second go download the Pre-Kitchen from geekfor.me
This will let you put those craptastic sprint apps back on the phone..but i guess if you use it you use it.
There is no getting contacts back that were not "google" contacts. Google contacts are backed up in the cloud. If you login to your Gmail if you see them there, they will be back on the phone. Its also tons easier to reenter them on Gmail than on the phone..big screen and keyboard and what not.
flashing simply means loading a new ROM on to the ROM chip...well we don't have a "Rom Chip" persay as they did years ago. Just into that part of the dev block. No big deal, I digress.
The benefits of the rom you have Vary depending on what one you have loaded. Personally I stick with Fresh. Seems faster to me. However fresh 1.1 kind slowed down so I went back to 1.0

well as far as getting everything back there is really not much you can do unless you did a nandroid backup before you flashed fresh 1.1. I know it sucks but I did the same thing when I first got my phone. I would suggest that as you rebuild your contacts make sure that you put them in as google contacts instead of phone that way if you wipe it on accident again then you wont lose your contacts.
as far as the point in running a different rom is mainly that they tend to be faster than the stock build because they have been optimized nad some things have been taken out that slow the phone down. and some cool stuff has been added like wifi teather and such.
now for getting some stock apps back. download the fresh kitchen it works great and is easy to use.

what is this kitchen i always hear about anyway??? can i select what apps i reinstall???? cuz i definitly dont want them all.... i actually remember thats why i did all this to get rid of thos sonsabitches.... also how can i get rid of sprint apps that are on here that i still dont want like music for instance??

the kitchen is a program that was created to allow you to do common tasks witout having to actually use the code
yes you can pick and choose what apps you want to reinstall and it also now has the option to remove any file.

k i downloaded kitchen v2 how do i install it???

Also sorry for asking all these questions.... I am on a very very very tight schedule in winter and dont have time to really look into/research this stuff on my own this time of year

I also downloaded lockscreens and am still tryin to figure out how to install both of them

just extract it where you want it then run the .exe
the kitchen will allow you to install the lockscreens as well just move the zip files into the themer folder that you extracted for the kitchen

so i extract to a folder on my comp then run the program on comp and plug usb into phone etc.??

yes extract it to a folder plug the phone to the comp then just run the .exe and the kitchen will open. flipz has put in prompts telling you what each tool does the first time you go to use it

yea im just totaly not understanding how to intall the lockscreen... i downloaded it ... extracted it to same folder as kitchen... open kitchen went to push file selected system>app>htclockscreen.apk then selected push location as /system/app
and then it starts then gives me error...
could not find part of the path C:/folder/system/app/adb/filepush.bat
please report error.... kitchen closing

You shouldn't unzip lockscreens just point the kitchen to the zip file. It will do the rest.

dont extract the lockscreen file, in there folder that you extracted the kitchen to there should be a file labled "themer" and in that folder there should be a folder named themes, move the zipped file into that folder.
in the kitchen go to the tools&tweaks tool and choose install theme then pick the lockscreen zip file and hit install
should work.

great... got it guys ... thanks

np enjoy the new stuff

Alright mate. Welcome to xda devs
Can you give us more info? You said that it said something was missing (I think I know what it was, but can you let us know what it actually said, just to be sure?) Once we know what it is, we can probably help.
And you ain't being thick. Just new

i had to restart my phone to factory settings as i couldnt get the file from the menu(can you help with this?) think it said that i needed a newer thing on my phone then it had

lol, not being funny but that isn't any more info than the first post.
we need actual details,
example "I installed core player but it gave the error "not enough bananas to complete"
just saying "its in that place where we put that thing that time" isn't enough info.

it's propably the .net framework you are missing... ver 3.5 should do... but you have to give more info when you have a problem, cause not everybody here should try to guess what's wrong with everybodys phone... we have also other things to do!... help to be helped... thats like a law!

ok i will re - put in on and get back to you all. but how do i remove the file from the phone? i try to do this but the pic of the file is still on the menu.
ok it says missingmethodexection
this app requires a newr vesion
ot the mircosoft.NET COMPACT
framework than the version installed on
the device

...and that's his edited version of the post...

Search for and install
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab (there may be a later version available, but thats the one i use)
To instal .cab files, copy them anywhere on your phone (most people have a folder for cabs on their storage card in case they hard reset and need to instal them again) then run the .cab file from your phone to instal it.
As for the icon you have in your start menu that is left over from when you tried to instal it before, it should have been removed when you uninstalled teh program. If you just deleted the program, then that is why it was left over.
Open file manager, browse to windows/start menu and find the item you want rid of, , press and hold it and in teh menu that pops up choose delete. (Have to scroll down to find delete)

thanks sorted it

SIM deleting text messages help

hi everyone
so i search everywhere trying to find an answer to my problem and so far i have found nothing.. my problem is that i accidentally saved some of my txt messages to the sim card but now every time i delete them they keep coming back .. they delete but if i reset the phone they show up again .. is there any way i can permanently delete these txt .. i try going to sim manager but theres no option for txt .. only contacts .. plz help

try selecting 'save sms to phone' then deleting, restart and see if you still have the same issue... i know exactly what you're talking about, i had that problem before and it got really annoying but i ended up fixing it by popping my sim card into my old G1 and deleting that way, if the method i suggested doesn't work let me know and I will try to figure out another way.
good luck!

thanks actually i tried that there's an option that says move to phone .. i did but it doesnt help everytime i restart it shows up again i dont have a G1 but i to have a tilt.. do u think i could delete them thru the tilt?

Permanent link from SIM card... argh!

I don't think this is a HD2-only issue (seems it could happen on any WinMo phone), but it's annoying.
I recently got a new SIM card, and after starting the phone, a new link appears in the Start menu. I can delete it, but it will show up again and again, even if I move it to a different folder.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

U can usually go to File Explorer then:
My Device > Windows > Start Menu > Programs
And then from there, move the shortcuts around or into different folders or even delete them completely...
Edit: Oh sorry.. . just realised you've already tried deleting it! lol

He already said that you cant really delete it because after reboot it appears again!
But this problem is solved! I was reading about that over here in the forums i think.
Just search for it and you will find it or someone will post it again.
