it seems that kichten can cook WM2003 rom now, but how about the standalone mkrom. it takes quite some effort to set up a kichten and what I really need is just putting a few my files into rom. all the customization can be easily done afterwards and backup to SD card.
So my question, can the mkrom cook wm2003 ROM?

I'm trying to figure that one out too... All I want to do is replace sounds and ringtones and the boot image in the 4.00.16 rom with my own and a couple programs only. I've already sat up the rom from a rom kitchen (not my own) but now need to do the fine tuning.
Any suggestions on a mkrom 2003 edition? :?:
I think I don'd understand what really is the extended rom.... Can you help me?

Search the forum. It has been discussed plenty.
The Extended ROM is a special part of the ROM, that is used of the providers to add their own and additonal files, that have to be installed on the first use of this device. It only have Programs and Reg-Settings in it. Afetr the installtion of this programs, the Memory Part of the extended ROM is useless for the device. You can't access the extended ROM and you can not save data on this memory....
Therefore the bigStorage hack is used to free this memory-part.

Many thanks!
So... I'm Italian and I buoght my Jam with std Italian ROM.
I like to have Engl leanguage on all my devices so I hack the Country ID and I installed the WWE ROM.
It works fine but I lost some of Italian configuration and some applications (e.g. eTrust antivirus)...
I think that these applications are contained on Italian Extended ROM... is it right?
If is it right... can I install the Italian extended ROM in the WWE ROM?
Or... can I extract the eTRust antivirus and install it on my WWE ROM?
Yes, you should be able to install the programs of the italian extended ROM on the WWE ROM. Since most of the tools are os independet it should be no big problem.
The QtekS100_ITA_1.03.151 ExtRom is on the FTP. If your version was newer or anything else, than you have to get the files by yourself.....
Stefan
Great!
I've got i-mate Jam with the last WWE ROM downloaded fron the clubimate site...
I'd like to install the extended rom's app of Jam instead of S100...
Is possible to download the Jam's ext rom? ANy link?
Many thanks guys!
Hi 2 all chefs and developers..
I am using evk latest kitchen to cook a rom. I Have dump of stock 1.66 and 1.72 stock roms..
As 1.72 is a t-mobile branded rom.. i dont want to use t-mobile branded rom.
Ext packages and its itz upgraded HTC MESSAGING client and manila from 1.72 rom i want to cook them with 1.66 rom.
I simply copy and paste the said packages from 1.72 rom to 1.66 EXT folder and then run the Kitchen.
Rom cooked ok. and it flashed ok without any error.
but the problem is..Some of the icons.. ie: Tools, mails, multimedia etc etc goes classic . and applications icons from them comes out in the start menu.
i dont know what i am doing wrong?
kindly advice what to do.
you need to have the initflashfiles.dat entries for pkgs you bring over from 1.72, not just copy and paste the pkgs.

you could copy over initflash.dat from the newer rom
you can find it in kitchen>oem>device>0409>oem_lang_0409
as said you could also edit the initflash manually
by rightclicking on the initflash.dat file and select open with notepad(not sure ifits called this way but its the second option

Thanks.. it is working now..
Problem Solved..
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.
