Hi all,
I'm trying to edit ROM on a new device (FSC Loox T830) using the provided tools for the Scoter Kitchen.
First thing that I'm trying to do is unpacking the ROM, repacking again and flashing to see if everything is working.
1) I have already a ROM image, by using the following commands I have the dump:
* prepare_imgfs myrom.rom -n
* viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
2) Then I repacked everything again with the reversed tools and flashed the device -> Result was OK
--
as the result was ok, now the second try starting again from the beginning:
This time I've dumped the ROM again with the same tools and then run DMP2PKG program, which highlighted yellow as missing the following:
d92a4f0a-378a-4482-8fd3-bd127a05e4de
723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5
but worked error free, then I've copied into ROM\XIP folder boot.rgu (taken from my device) and run PKG2DMP. It worked and halted with an error "initflashfiles.dat not found"
I have then compared the original default.hv user.hv and packages.sof files (converted to .txt) with the unpacked/repacked by PKG2DMP program. Here are the differences:
differences on user.hv:
Original Dump:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows]
"LangDbPath"="\\mxip_lang.vol"
"DbPath"="\\mxip_initdb.vol"
Repacked:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows]
*missing line*
"DbPath"="\\mxip_initdb.vol"
Difference on default.hv:
Original Dump:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate]
"packages.sof"=hex:C6,E4,A2,C5,90,21,C8,D4,C0,BD,B5,B2,6D,1E,12,D5
"6461d201-3f67-9f90-77bf-e6f0a2bfed3b.rgu"=hex:3B,EC,29,3E,E8,6B,48,B1,B0,85,CA,55,C4,EB,58,B3
"boot.rgu"=hex:47,C0,24,EC,58,60,53,AA,38,48,F0,BB,50,91,44,E6
Repacked:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate]
"packages.sof"=hex:9E,EE,79,81,ED,31,54,86,5E,0F,0F,A9,78,4F,28,3B
*missing line*
"boot.rgu"=hex:F8,AB,E2,1C,48,C7,75,A3,1B,8F,E6,69,B0,25,EA,14
This is very strange IMO as I've made no changes to the packages...Just unpacked/repacked to test...Obviusly the flash with the above changes blocked the device prior to boot.
Any help is really appreciated! (Bepe , JKR?)
PS: I've opened the same topic on buzzdev.net forums
Thanks & BR
Hi, you have to find that 6461d201-3f67-9f90-77bf-e6f0a2bfed3b.rgu... is in on your device?

Hi Bepe, first of all thanks for lightning fast reply!
Yes, both .dsm and .rgu are on the device, but not present in the dump.
.rgu content is the missing line from user.hv:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows]
"LangDbPath"="\\mxip_lang.vol"
Why boot.rgu, initflashfiles.dat and this file are present on the device but not in the dumped Rom (which I downloaded from the official web page of FSC) ?!
I have now looked and found also the other missing files which I'm attaching for you to have a look.
There is no .rgu file and they're not present in the dump as well as the previously mentioned files...
read your PMs ...
Maybe you guys can help me also figure out why this won't build.
I don't understand why RGUCOMP always throws a RANDOM fit on RGU files. It's like, sometimes just copying the same line to another line, and it works...
Anyhoo, no matter what I try. These aren't building. Maybe it's cause it's late and I'm tired...
Nevermind. I used CERegEditor to just save the file as a hv file.
I'm still learning here and have been looking into registry settings. I've tried editing the default.hv, and while rgucomp says it builds fine, this results in the ROM not booting.
If I look at the rgu from the modified default.hv, its in a different order than the original.
Just wondering if I need a different app, or if there is a kitchen that will build a new default.hv with the rgu's from the imgfs dump.

You may ask to l3v5y for his kitchen. I'm using it if i need to re-arrange packages. For simple files modify I use my tgtool set.
Hi.
Going to thread:
I build my own kitchen which uses platform rebuilder (far called PRB), it's for Universal and contain 21884 build (my favourite ).
Everything goes okay, registry, modules, files is okay but the problem is known .provxml issue.
I use PRB 2.1 (displays mmap)
All provxml and dsm are readonly, system and hidden
I tried to put all provxml to external dsm, also add all files into one dsm, updating existing dsm, renaming provxml's to mxip_zzzz << you know the 'zzzz' makes it process at last.
No success.
Fail effect is:
No Office (which installs via provxml), no start menu icons, no theme loaded, classicblue failed. etc.
Any ideas?
bump, without any ideas?
try to leave the Hidden attribute.
FDCTask Manager (aka DotFRED) can import *.*XML file; it's handy for testing and ensuring that the XML file is properly formed. Have a look at this post and the reference link at the end:

It is an issue with setting the attributes correct when building OS.
