Help with BuildOS.exe

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

Plz help..

Hi all. I just got Wing and its my first WM phone. I need help and I'm asking after I did all the searching possible and got some tips but I was unable to fix the problem Im having. I am not exactly what you would call a noob as I have flashed and moded many phones with Moto, Blackberry, Symbian and Linux Mobile OS's. Ok enough bragging haha.
Anyways I have downloaded the Herald-USPL-Beta3 and the NBH file and followed the exact instructions. The USPL is extracted in C:\, the folder is named "upgrade" and the NBH file is extracted to the RUU folder within the USPL folder. I have fresh install on Tmobile branded SPL higher than 4.0 and have installed the .CAB file found in the USPL and have softreseted the phone.
I have done this like 10 times already and every time I try to flash I get this:
The system cannot find the path specified. Then it starts to say 25%, 50%, 75% and then it says I should have the Active Sync icon gray and my phone screen blank. Well that never happens and when I hit Enter anyways it says that its lunching the RUU and two seconds later it tells me its all good to go and to hit Enter and when I do it exits out.
I have also turned the firewall off and hev no antivirus running.
Please help!
I was amazed of how modable this phone seemed but it looks like it going on EBAY and my SIM back in my Blackberry Curve..
Thanks!
ps Today I tried different PC and same thing happened..

wow.. anybody?
I'm starting to think Im either an idiot or I have the only Wing on this forum that wouldnt flash..

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:
[email protected]?
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)

[Q]software update files

after zune downloads the update, it has to store the files somewhere before deploying them to the phone, right? so, does anyone know where zune would store these temporary files? i couldn't find any relation between zune and my temp folder, so i will assume that it does something else, or that i am wrong. any ideas? i just want to see what i can make of them, or out of curiosity if you want.

process explorers view on the update
attached is a log of a network and file monitor while zune was doing the update.

is that a successful flash you have there? if you can find out which files its bulking at you could then do a compare with the same working file from an HD7 assuming the file isnt encoded in some way it might then allow us to see what needs changed, unless of course it has nothing to do with the registry and its actually doing some kind of IMEI check or somekind of hardware scan
another posibility is that its bulking because its finding something in the ROM that is consistant only to the DFT release s file name, reg settings or perhaps some hardware ID

Well I got this far, it backup my settings, after a few reboots and one disconnect, but I got " We couldn't back up your phone because your registry settings are incorrect."
What if I simply remove the SD, reset device, and the partition is set on device instead of on SD. It appears that other than some basic hardware reg tweaks for the ROM the original DFT(ROM) is pretty close to stock. Im more curious about Microsoft's update and implantation procedures and possibility of bypassing than just simply updating my HD2. I figure a rom with updates will be provided soon enough. What do you all think?

Thanks for providing this, seems that's where were stuck at. For now... bwa haha lol (joke).

If you're interested in the update file, I zipped up and attached what I found. Windows Phone 7 Connector (Mac OS X) stores the files in

no there isn't a solution for now, just wait till a mod cooks up a rom with the new update.
