How to Cook your first ROM

Wouldn't there happen to have a nice tutorial on how to cook your own ROM?
I mean, the new cooks don't know what to do exactly...I'm thinking about making Vanilla 4.01 an even better ROM, with the new radio and etc...the problem is, I know NOTHING about cooking...
Anyone could gimme a Cooking for Dummies?
This could be a sticky thread if evryone contributes to create tutorials on cooking...
Thanks a lot everyone!

There is a sticky.... I don't know how usefull it is, but it has very much info and links to tutorials.
Here's the link

I've checked the HyperCore Kitchen....I got it and I installed it in my computer...but there no tutorial on how to use it...
I mean, it's kinda good to have a kitchen to cook like hypercore, but how are we supposed to use it? someone that knows nothing about ROM cooking...

Learning how to cook

I was wondering, if anyone had any links to good threads on how to learn to cook X1 ROMs. I've tried a few custom ones, but would like to combine all the best bits from them into one, and learn how to cook myself.
However, the link on the wiki about how to cook a ROM is dead.

(sorry for polish lang).
this rom's i cook without device..
if moderator delete this topic, ok.

******************. My friend Ham3r here cooked like 10 roms without having the actual device, made the effort and you can't do one simple thing a test and post results? If you think that flashing a phone with a not-well-made/unfinished rom can brick your device, you should at least read the wiki or understand what is written here in the forums. And before you start to insult me or whatever, take into consideration that it IS possible that you don't have the amount of knowledge needed. Start reading - stop posting stupid things.
Mod Edited. You can make your point without insults. The warnings members give are valid for a ROM that is not tested.

welcome chef, but why in wm6.1?

6.1 is faster.
rom's for leo are only 6.5.. i don't understand that.

I can see everyone from Poland ganging up on people who ask for this ROM to be removed. It does seem strange however, that someone would cook a ROM for a device they don't own, and can't test.
99% of people will NOT flash an untested ROM. It makes no sense. Even following all the correct procedures, it could still brick the device, as the chef doesn't even know if the ROM works properly. Also, uploading as a file that we need to convert maybe isn't the best thing to do either. Most people don't have the tools or knowledge to convert these files.
Can we please end the flaming and insults. How old are you people really!?

I am intrested in 6.1 rom.
_Rayearth, you have hd2, have you tested it?
Thanks.

It's because we do test untested roms and therefore we know better
I some1 want to remove thread just because it offers untested rom, then I think this person should do a little research on this matter.
BTW, is it realy so hard not to read this thread if you don't like/use the content? just ignore it.
hrcro, yes I have but personaly, I think it would hard to use it with fingers on 6.1
on the other hand, clean and fast rom like this is rare these days

The vast majority of roms on here are untested before posted, the only difference is half the chefs don't tell you! Chefs with custom kitchens cook for a lot of devices and post for users to test. NRGZ28 did this, yet nobody asked him to close his down, and he is a brilliant chef!
Stop asking for this to be closed, the OP has as much right as anyone to ask people to test something for him, it is the users that make the decision. If you don't want to test it, sod off and leave the thread alone.

hi
i want cook a rom.
what for "PROGRAMMS" i need for cook a rom??
BIG THX

I am interested too
Hello Everyone,
I am interested too, what software do I need to cook a Windows Mobile ROM?

no offense, but cooking a rom would take a LOT more time and brainpower than simply searching the forums to find out how to do it.
if you dont have the skills to find out, you don't have the skills to do it.

Funny

Actually I beg to differ, never cooked a ROM before now, and I already got WinMo 6.5.5 ported with sense in a matter of minutes, not as hard as you make it sound

IMO, its better to just ignore the post, then to try and discourage someone.

With the TMOUS Leo 2.10, what's the diffence between "...ship.part1.rar" and "...ship.part2.rar"?
Also, Ship_pkgs.7z for the LEO seems to be TOPAZ. So, which one is the LEO...?

I didnt mean it that way, tbh, I have no clue about rom cooking, I've just gotten sick of all the idiots who come posting about "WHERE IS ANDROID????" and "WHY IS MY PHONE BRICKED!!!!" who obviously did no research at all before starting. sorry if i rubbed you the wrong way.

You need two parts to extract file, then you get .exe file, then extract that .exe file again, you get RUU_signed.nbh.
Now you just import RUU_signed.nbh and cook your own rom.

I use ervius's visual kitchen. Here's a link to one I threw up last night using the stock rom from TMOUS...
[ Kitchen ] [ 3-31 ] [ v0.1 ] [21889] RSToyGuy's TMO.US Kitchen
Not all pretty and stuff, but it works for me!

That is absolute BS. I am sorry you don't have the "brainpower" to provide an answer. Take your negative attitude elsewhere.

He already responded and apologized... Reading everyone's posts before you hit reply is a good thing, generally.

how exactly do i extract the RUU_signed.nbh?
UPDATE: I got it, for anyone that may be wondering the same thing I was having trouble with, open the downloaded .exe from with an archive editor (7-zip, or winRAR) and extract the RUU_signed.nbh.

Are you guys dumping the default T-Mobile ROM? I keep getting errors when I try to do that....

[Q] What do i need to cook a rom?

Hello,
i wondered wether i need to be a computer genius to cook my own rom. On all the roms you get tons of apps, and I want to make one with as good as no extra apps (just some basic ones like youtube and opera). I downloaded the ervius kitchen, but what do i need to start? Do i have to download a sort of 'master rom' in which you can disable things you dont want?
Thanks in advance,
Kapie

Im watching the youtube tutorial by lion75y, and i need the stock rom. I bought my device second handed, and i am not able to download it from the HTC homepage. Is the blackstone stock rom available somewhere else? I've searched around on the forums, but i couldnt find it...

To be honest mate there is plenty of guides or kitchens to help you. Try typing in "kitchen" or "cooking" into the search and see what threads appear
Also, this may be a good place to start
