yes, you are true.....
done, at first post, follow the link to download newest version with check for new packages inside

how does this handle modules in the same folder? I just try it, and it place it outside of the files folder. so i am not sure how that would work or not. I didnt build yet because I have no time to test right now. but curious to know this.
also any plans on making a GUI kitchen off Bepe latest? Would love to see it, with you all packages to one trick you have in there.

I was just about to say the same thing
When you try to build in that way(with the modules outside the "files" folder) the modules are excluded from the rom...
No problem though, I just recmoded the modules and it's ok,
but I'm sure ervius is somewhere around with a new version lol

Could someone upload this util - seems that ervius page is gone ...

Help with 23112 port for the Blue Angel

I posted a thread asking for help on cooking for older devices, but no one seemed to have an answer for it. I figured I would give this thing another shot and the device gets past the first screen, but it never gets out of the second boot splash. I have attached the kitchen that I am using with SYS already ported.
Without further ado, here is my attempt to a kitchen (based off on sun_dream's 28230 kitchen)
http://hotfile.com/dl/36427122/da04c1f/HTC_BlueAngel_WM6.5.3_23112.rar.html
Any help will be appreciated!

did you recmod any of the files in sys? or ext? ive never cooked for blue angel but im sure it doesnt have a native 6.5 nk.exe and that means you need to recmod some files for kaiser i always recmodded my whole ext folder, and all modules in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie...give that a try and see if it helps

Hey twopump,
I tried recmodding the modules that you described there (which I also saw on another thread that you replied to). As far as the ones in the EXT folder (my kitchen has a OEM folder, which I think is the same), they were all recmodded by sun_dream. BTW, you are absolutely correct about the BA not having a native 6.5 nk.exe.... that is usually the downfall of a 5 year old device , but I know that it can be done since there are newish roms out there for the BA (28230 being one of them).
There is no way you can look at my kitchen and tell me what's wrong is there, is there? (I guess the answer is no, but it is always worth asking).
Thanks for the help.

ok i took a look at your kitchen, and im pretty sure i know whats wrong. the first thing i did was open up your sys folder to check if you had recmodded browsing, browsingie, browsingcore, and you hadnt they all still had the modules in them....except you didnt even have browsingie in your rom only the 0409 pkg lol. then i noticed that you deleted the netcf pkg from sys as well, that will cause your rom not to boot. here is my solution to your problems, start over with a fresh complete sys, only delete the things that arent needed, then convert every module in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie to a file. make sure you have netcf and cook you should have a booting rom

Thanks for the advice. I honestly cannot put browsingie and netcf at the same time simply because the BA only has 32 mb for rom and the kitchen essentially errors out before getting to the end. The other issue is that the rom will not even boot if I take either one of them out. I did recmod all that you suggested, but still nothing...

I would appreciate all the help that I can get . The kitchen that I posted is a modified version of a 28230 kitchen by sun_dream. Basically, I ported the XIP and the SYS folders from 23112 into the 28230 kitchen. Originally, I had included the same exact components in the SYS that sun_dream had included in his kitchen (his is fully functional btw), so I am at the point where I am running out of ideas on what I could be doing wrong. I know that you cook for the Nike, so the way of cooking will be completely different, but some of the core knowledge is still the same. Any suggestions are welcome

No, these are "old style kitchens" I am pretty sure that EVK will not work with these kind of roms (they are of the nbf type and not nbh). If you would like to send me your SYS, I would not mind taking it for a spin.

I would give atry to Recmod all EXT packages as TPC said.
Your FWUPDATE and SQM in sys folder are dummy or M$ originals?
You need absolutly Net and Browsingie as TPC said ,at least delete some useless apps in OEM packages.
I made a 23112 SYS within only the needed and already recmoded plus the dummy fwupdate and sqm, you must put them in an EXT folder or convert them in OEM.

I believe I have the real FW and SQM folders in there. It is truly weird though, if you take a look at the original sys folder of the 28230 kitchen, sun_dream has no netcf nor browsingie in there, and he has no recmodded files in the browsing folders either, yet his kitchen spits out a working rom...
At this point, I am beginning to think that my xip might be bad...

NetCF can be installed post flash either by hand or some customization method (sdcustomization, uc, sashimi, etc)
Let me go a little deeper into the world of the BA. The process is pretty much the same as it is with all devices... flash a rom, hard reset, and reboot. Depending on the packages that I am adding to the SYS, the rom will either get stuck while hard resetting (which is the same as getting stuck in the tri-colored screen (keep in mind that for the BA, the tri-colored screen is *not* bootloader, but the first bootsplash)), or will go through the first screen and get stuck in the second bootsplash (here is the kicker, if you connect the device to a computer, Activesync will see it and try to connect, which means that some of the windows OS components are loading...)
I am finishing charging up my BA and I will flash deep's SYS and will let you all know what comes out of it

If I look in your common folder I see Chome is still in, that's a huge memory eater, not sure what you are cooking and if you need it.
Another thing; if I take out NETCF in my rom device setup starts looping in a continue circle and I get a warning about AutoVer.exe.
I hope this is of any help.

[UTIL][TUTORIAL] TG01 to T01A ROM Converter

Utility Link: http://www.4shared.com/zip/KBQLOO9d/TG01toT01A_Converter_Utility.html
How to use it:
There is 2 ways to use it.
1- Drop a TG01 ROM at the "TG01toT01AConverter" batch file, and a CMD window will appear showing the process.
2- Run a CMD and use the comand "TG01toT01AConverter rom.tsw"
In both cases, a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" will be created if all it's OK. That's your ROM.
That's all, simple right?
I hope you enjoy it!
PD: The TG01 to T01A Converter includes my TG01 Tool set for simple ROM dumping and repack. If you need to redefine packages you should need to use l3v5y kitchen.
PD: This pack includes cedemish TGTool.

arag0n85 said:
Well, since finally someone has reported that my TG01->T01A method works properly, I decided to release for public a converter instead T01A/TG01 ROM's Version. In my ROM's threads, will be up to people to re-upload the T01A version and share the link, but I will only release TG01 version of the ROM and link to this thread.

you should not call MY TG01->T01A method yours just because you put it in a bat. maybe i should point you to tgtool 1.3.20 announcement post, your .bat is more or less a copy/paste of sample code there.
so how my tool+my sample = your tg01->t01a method ?

The TG01 to T01A Converter only needs tgtool and rom files, the rest of tools for this purpose is just bloatware.

Long time ago, some old dispute, I think it's time to move on!

What each of you is doing complements each other's work, but giving appropriate credit in your every posting is just too much overhead. IMHO there's a bit of a wording issue, I'm sure arag0n85 didn't intend to claim this batch to be entirely his own achievement or neglect cedesmith's role/involvement.
I've seen some very bright members leaving xda-devs because their work was not treated here with due respect. I'm sure everyone would hate to see either of you go or give up your projects. The truth is that if you are not ready to witness other people using, reusing and even abusing results of your work, then either don't release it or protect it from abuse.
Take it easy. Peace...

The idea is easy. There is an instruction to extract payload from a tsw and an instruction to merge payload to a tsd. So, I placed the tgtool with a tsd rom with an empty payload side by side and a .bat file that calls the proper instructions for the conversion from a tsw file. The file is called TG01toT01AConverter, and you have 2 ways to act with it.
a) Click on a tsw ROM, and move it over the .bat and drop it.
b) Open a MSDOS Command Window at the directory and type: "TG01toT01AConverter yourrom.tsw"
In both cases you should see a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" as output.

thank so much your support. It have done, after converted i flashed it. Successful.
Enjoin it.

Can it be used to convert any new ROM in the future, such as 6.5.3 or 6.5.5?
Thanks

[Q] Problem: No changes take effect in cooked ROM in EVK!

Hi pals
I Cooked a WM6.1 19971 Official ROM for OPAL in Ervius Visual Kitchen. The cooked ROM seems quite alright except that:
1.The original ROM was about 100MB while despite the fact that I added a lot of packages, the cooked ROM is about 80MB.
2.None of my packages exist in the cooked ROM when I flash it.
Can you tell me what the problem is?

The smaller size is fine.
What do you mean packages not there?
Are the files not in the windows folder or are you just missing shortcuts?

What?!...EVK generates a build_log...look at this, and u'll see, what's in your rom.
Cannot belive that u've applied packages in EVK they wouldn't cook in....strange.

Its not true,
OsKitchen compared to any other Kitchen is much more easy to use expecially for newbie users.
EVK it is much complete.
Which is the best between one and another its only a personal taste.

While EVK was building the ROM I checked the log it was generating. I saw all my packages. But when I used osKitchen it had problems with the *.dsm file in the packages and said that it's corrupt. I think it's the problem but I used package-creator-v2.7 to convert *.cab files to a package. So obviously the problem is with the package creator.
But on thing that's for sure is that newbies (like me) should stick to osKitchen.

FYI, Barin's OSBuilder has a .dsm autocorrection option.

Well, OsKitchen has its own package creator so all you need is to import your original rom and convert all your cabs again plus it has an auto mui converter,thats mean if that you have some 0410 mui's and you are cooking for 0409 oskitchen wiil rename all the mui for you.It worth a try.

Let's state this once for all: Ervius kitchen is basically a GUI to create _skip files that launches a giant batch file that does all the cooking and that needs to be customized for every device: if you created your own _skip files by hand and used a batch file to cook there would be virtually no difference. OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".

No offence and I do appreciate and use your work, but aren't all kitchens just fancy GUI's around a set of batch files and same old imgfstools and platformrebuilder from yesteryear?

Not really, I process all the files before feeding them to platformrebuilder hence the recmod/upx/tweaks/ordering/manila compression/etc without touching any of the original files. I also only use the newest tools available like libnb and osnbtool that the kitchen calls directly and checks the output to warn of any error and to get informations about the ROM format indeed it can import any proper BIN/NB/NBH file and cook it without even knowing what device they come from. The only original imgfstools I keep are nbmerge and nbsplit because I was waiting Da_G to finish his BuildNB function but osnbtool can probably replace both (nbsplit for sure with the -sp parameter).

@OP, it sounds like your package structure is wrong. Are the packages in EXT format (not OEM)? If they're in oem format, none of the files will be included. Just make the packages manually, it's a lot easier.

Can you please post the build log file?

My kitchen (OSbuilder) uses it's own engine to process packages, build dsms, rebase modules, merge dsm and build ROM file. The only external tool i use is "TurboImgfs" by airxtreme.

Yes , when i wrote that EVK ,maybe, its more complete then OsKitchen i was referring to this, only some tools.

OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".

Don't let them get you down man. Ervius's kitchen is a piece of **** in my opinion. The GUI blows and it crashes on the smallest thing that's not exactly right with a package. Did I mention the GUI is horrible ?
I will say it as well, erv's kitchen is NOTHING but a glorified GUI for platformrebuilder which is the real workhorse.
p.s. I made my own kitchen GUI, based on platformrebuilder as well. Mine's designed to cook for 12 devices at a time though... so I can't exactly share it. PM me if you'd like the details necesssary to make Samsung Omnia 2 ROMs with prb though, it seems nobody else seems to know what the "secret" is... I just think they didn't try hard enough. lol If anything, you can add 4 more devices to your already impressive collection of supported devices

Sorry my bad English
The best tool for OSBuilder, I can assure you, the more we are together with the Barin many of the functions of OSB for TG01 adapted, in particular the initialization FAT32 sections.
I can give his version of the kitchen, with support multibild in the kitchen is two build 21687 and 21916
Instructions for Multikitchen:
1 install OSBuilderSetup.msi
2 to start the kitchen open the file OSBuilder.osb
3 select your build (21916, 21687.... also allows you to use the mode multilang)
4 mark / unmark ext package
5 click on start button (play)
wait...
6 look inside the PRG folder
download the necessary radio and put in a folder TOOLS
to change the radio used respectively cmd script.
XIP porting:
very simple, change only these folders:
-Donor\MSXIPKernel;
-Donor\MSXIPKernelLTK.
The kitchen itself, the ROM and Radio to find my public folder on 4shared.
MY Shared folder
To purchase the full version osbuider, contact by Barin
Special thanks to:
1. Barin for perfect rom-building tool and a lot of friendly advices
2. Cedesmith for cool TGtool program
3. Alexx~ & AndrewSh for friendly support
Attention in Resco Keyboard not registered by default, setting it as a major get a brick, installs with standard keyboard.
Thanks))))

feropont, in my oppinion if someone starts to cook he should not use osbuilder.
It is powerfull, professional tools with a lot capabilites. Me myself only know some options I needed, but before I use it I have many hours spent with l3v5y and ffboy kitchens to analyze their work.
People saw more ROM and "go on !". Let They learn some basic steps from leston2379 tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804529
I hope nobody felt insulted
Regards

Thanks you very much for the kitchen tool. I dont speek english very well, too. I'm French Google Translator is my friend!
I already know l3v5y kitchen tool, I have make some French ROM with this tool. I want to try other method.
Osbuilder allow me to take care a bit.

If possible, I'm will support and answer questions

Thanks!

Great tool!! Easy to use! Nice work
I managed to create my French ROM build 29007 without problem. In total I 323.42mo ROM (normally it's not 350Mo?)
While creating the SE CE is now 5.2.0 whereas before I had the SE CE 5.2.29007. How to fix problem XIP?
Again, this is a great tool!

For autoport xip to the donor in a folder create a folder with a new portable xip and invest packages MXIPKernel and MXIPKernelLTK or xip.bin of build 29007.
The amount of free ROM depends on the size of the newly created IMFGS and tg01os.nb.payload.
Sorry my bad English
Thanks

Thank you for your reply.
I have put the files in the folder Donor/29007. I'll try again.

It's work. My dsm file into Mskernel have not the correct build version.

Nice work Feropont !!! I'll try now your kitchen !

@ feropont very good tool, tnx for share. exist a way to settings that make the ROM possible to full dump? without cleaning of dsm and rgu files after ROM create?
i like to re open my ROMs (made with osbuilder) for re cooking by other chefs
many tnx, miro

Go to "Settings" -> Build Dump and Rom -> Unmark "Merge all packages to one"
Create your ROM
For a dump
Extract os.nb.payload with Tgtool (-sp command)
Go to Dump mode in OsBuilder and open os.nb.payload
You can see your packages and extract.
Sorry for my poor english
