EasyPortOven V2.2 [Updated May 11 2008]

This is a release for my ROM porting kitchen. It ports both XIP's and SYS folders. It currently supports the following:
Herald
Wizard
Prophet
Kaiser
Elf/Elfin
Hermes
Zinc
Athena
http://www.darthnet40.com/xda/ivanmmj/Kitchens/
(You will need 7-Zip to open the file.)
This is compatible with Bepe's extended kitchen, but I don't believe he ever released one for every device out there. It requires a ROM folder with an extracted XIP folder within it. Just download the Herald's and you'll see what I mean. The ONLY tested section has been the Herald section as that's the only device that I have.
If your device is compatible with Bepe's kitchen or my kitchen, it will automatically launch the kitchen right after.
Instructions:
Delete your old SYS folder
Place the SYS file you wish to port into Working_Folder
Place your xip.bin that you wish to port into the Prepare folder
*Note: Close the XIPPort program after pressing "Make Packages." The script will take over after that.
You should not have a Working_Folder with an OEM, SYS and XIP folder (and a Tools folder if you have Bepe's kitchen, even more if you have my kitchen.)
Double click on the RunMe file and choose your device.
For those who have a kitchen:
Place bepe's kitchen in the Working_Folder (so that OEM/SYS/ROM and other folders are right within Working_Folder.) Alternatively, you can place also place all the files into EasyBakeOven's folder. Allow the Working_Folder to override EasyBakeOven's Working_Folder. You will not loose any data but will bypass a few "info" scripts. This will not cause any problems.
Obligatory Warning Label:
Use this at your own RISK. I cannot be held liable for any damage caused to your device by your own mistakes or by my mistakes in the instructions.
If you wish to know how to do this manually, head over to my HowTo thread.

Just for being nice to me, here you go!
That's the newest official build. Be careful of anything "newer," they're fakes.
It's the one labeled 19213.7z
You'll need 7Zip to open the file. In it as the xip.bin and the SYS folders.

Yay!!!
Porting time!

I have one feature request!
Would it be possible to build a feature in that cleans out the folders before porting?

I think I'll test later cause actually I'm in exam but I think it work, I'm on the same device as l3v5y so I'll make my test and maybe take to you Artemis files (my other phone)
Thank for your hard work

Great tool ivanmmj.... I have a few questions. I guess I don't fully understand the process.
I've been able to get the XIP folder, os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin files from a KAISER rom... plus I used the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders from a working HERMES rom, but I can't seem to get past the second boot screen. A question I had is... do we use the os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin we got from the KAISER? or do we use those from a working hermes rom? and the XIP directory, do we need to change anything in there? or is just extracting it out, enough to work?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome tool, looks like a dummy can me even port ROM's will try it out sometime. Thanks bunches!

Already ahead of you. Today I noticed that I tend to leave a mess behind. lol I'll have it remove the files before replacing them, then I'll have it delete the extra files created during the process when it's done. (This part is already ready but I just haven't uploaded it. The removing the files before replacing them, I haven't done so, yet. Although this might not really be needed. Only the cleaning after part.)
...Maybe I don't know what you're talking about. lol
Explain it to me.

You need the XIP folder, os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin of YOUR device and the xip.bin and SYS folder of the rom you want to port INTO your device. Which device do you have? Tell me and I'll "draw" a map of what goes where.

Thanks for replying ivanmmj... I have a hermes, and I've been doing exactly that... my problem is when I go to build it, I get "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in buildxip.exe [2276]"
If I put in my older XIP build, buildxip works fine... so I'm lost now. Oh, and I'm trying to port the 19213 official att kaiser rom XIP.

You'll need:
OEM: hermes
ROM folder: Hermes (uncluding the XIP folder and all the other files)
SYS folder from kaiser (look for and remove MSkernel from this folder... I'm not 100% on that folder yet and future versions may handle that folder automatically)
Place the xip.bin from the kaiser into the prepare folder.
Now run the RunMe

I really appreciate your help ivanmmj, same thing again. It chokes up on BuildXIP.exe ...I have BuildXIP version 0.53 if that makes any difference. I tried with two XIP versions... 19209 and 19900. I'm about to give up.
Oh and I have Visual Studio 2008 installed, so I don't think it would be the runtimes... would it?

Ok, I even installed the vs2008 runtimes, same thing.. I found buildxip v.54, same thing... then i moved the whole ROM folder (new XIP) out and put in the old 19209 one and it ran... so maybe there's something wrong with 19213 with hermes? ok, I give up. Thanks for your help!!

19213 porting to elfin
i'm trying to port the 19213 to my elfin, and after porting when i use bepe's kitchen, it gets stuck at this screenshot. anybody help!!!

Dump a custom ROM

Is it possibile? I heared that custom ROM are protected...is it?
So it's not possible to havea dump of a custom ROM starting from a nbh file?

modules are protected, you cant use them. But you can use anything else. Look for HTC ROM Image editor. That will be the easiest way to extract files from a cooked ROM.

I tried just now...after loading the nbh file...nothing...it seems to be nothing, even with a not cooked ROM (a stock one)

You tried what?
Protection depends on the cooking method. ROMs built with old tools could be dumped no problem, but ROMs cooked with most new tools can not be fully dumped to a rebuildable state. The real question is, what exactly are you trying to get from the dump? If you just want a few files, that should be easy enough. If you want complete packages, that's trickier.

I tried to use HTC ROM Image editor, but it seems not work...
I need a complete dump because I'm tired to reinstall everytime my favorite apps and settings after a reset, so I would like to remove programs I do not use and add my favorite ones!

The ROM editor should work with any ROM for HTC devices. I think you are out of luck with getting a full dump from a custom. If I were you, I would just learn to cook your own.

Eheh...may I could be able to do a very mine ROM, but for some features...mmm...too much time to learn too much things...
Lazy me!!!

Talk to your rom chef, and see if they will share their kitchen for personal use. Which rom is it?

Da_G put together a kitchen a while ago called Dump Kitchen (I think). There's a thread in the Raphael rom forum. It lets you dump and rebuild roms, and i you know what you're doing, it's pretty easy to add apps and a little trickier to remove them (might as well just cook your own at that point). Just search for it; I think you can re-cook roms built with newer tools.

I doubt you would be able to use the modules, but I could be wrong.

Here's the link. I'm pretty sure it works with newer roms.

The bottom line is that any rom built with platformrebuilder (EVK etc) cannot be dumped into complete packages. Platformrebuilder deletes the dsm files which associates the files into packages and it also deletes the rgu/reg files which are the registry entries for each package. Not to mention it also deletes the last s00? file in modules making modules impossible to rebuild. According to bepe the only function of the last s00? file in a module is to make it rebuildable so it's practically useless to the module.
Bepe designed platformrebuilder this way not to make roms "protected", but to save space in the rom and increase module speed (by decreasing module size). There's no way around it.
Edit: it appears the tool Farmer Ted posted is used to dump a rom, add files/reg entries to it, then rebuild a flashable nbh.

So it means...it's impossibile to do what I need...yuhuuu...

Just try the micro-kitchen. You can dump roms, but all you get is the raw dump. Removing apps will be tricky-you will need to know all the files that have to be pulled out. But, it's pretty easy to edit .hv files, so you can remove reg keys or change them however you wish. You can also add anything you want, it's not that hard to do.

I think I'm going to start learning something usefull..."cook for dummies"...eheh...I've read some guide, tutorials and...maybe...could be not so difficult as I thought...I've just to start from a good base kitchen!

A good place to start....

Yes thats what we are trying to tell you..lol

yep in newer Kitchens roms and dumps.. there isnt a way to make what you want... you must to talk to your chef and ask him for special rom for you with that info... and or apps i didi many of them to ppl that like sthe version... but sometimes vanilla or with PIM info... if he sahres with you the kitchen... you will be so lucky, just load the rom and deselect the apps you dont want then add yours and your info, but that you must to learn how... to add that... you must to learn and read is not so simple

Just a small note to add to this:
The last S00X section in a module is the .CRELOC section. This is used to relocate the module on-device (not used to relocate the module on the PC, in the kitchen, where we do it prior to flashing)
Not having the last s00x means that you wouldn't be able to imageupdate that ROM (because the on-device read/write IMGFS driver would not be able to re-base the module since .CRELOC is missing)
But you can certainly still re-base that module on the PC side prior to rebuilding a ROM. So that function in itself won't preclude you from porting modules from one device to another

Dumping a Rom with the Vistang-Kitchen works for beginners in cooking very simple:

[Q] Kitchen for HD mini

Dear developers,
can somebody answer which kitchen we can use for HD mini?????

Yup...EVK will be a good one for that...

Get the EVK kichen... find a stock HD MIni ROM... dump it using the EVK and get cooking!

Interesting.... i just want to say that you need to be carefull cause the HQVGA is an unussual size in new builds hopefully the rollup comes more often

OSKitchen should be able to dump and rebuild the ROM for that phone without any issue even if it's not in the list as long as you know how to rename the EXT packages to give them the right order (that's an issue you will also have with EVK but on EVK you'll probably have many more unless you use an adapted version for your phone with the right packages already recmodded inside).
BTW I'm working right now on a way to finally apply the DSM building order that all other kitchens seem to ignore to rebuild the latest phone ROMs 100% correctly.

osKitchen doesn't need that file because it automatically detects the NBH structure trough libNB; that's why I told you it should work even if the device is not on the supported list. As long as platformrebuilder doesn't cause some trouble (EVK is platformrebuilder-based too) oskitchen can work with any ROM as long as it can import and build the format (and NBH of course is supported).

Everything is clear.THX

Just a small correction here: Barin's OSBuilder does not ignore that issue. In fact there in a tool in his kitchen to modify packages.sof, so that you can even modify the build order. This is important when adding new packages which have .dsm not in stock roms, to ensure that they are build in the preferred order (ie: tweaks last).
@ OP, if you do use EVK to dump and build, be sure to clean the dump of duplicate files inside modules after dump, which is an issue with EVK's dump process. Also, with EVK (and likely OSKithcne) you need to recmod NTFConfig.dll to get a bootable rom. This is also not an issue with Barin's OSBuilder, which I highly recommend to every chef. I find this kitchen to be a superb tool compared to any kitchen to date.

mmmm interesting kitchen... lets try something new... cause the winmo times are getting bored this days

I've never tried that kitchen however I can tell you that how I've implemented shadow ordering support is pure bliss. For example as you probably know HTC ROMs rely on many virtual packages (Project Default and others) to guarantee the building order and if you delete one of them (some of these packages are completely empty) everything breaks and that the shadow dependencies are often done on localized packages so changing language could also cause havoc.
In my kitchen I normalize all the packages dependencies during import so that all the dependencies on LCID folders and on those virtual folders are gone (so those can be safely deleted), I have a package property tab to set the shadow order of any package (if the DSM is not there it will be created), it has detailed checks for short circuits (infinite dependencies loop), etc. It's really, really well done.

Well the two kitchens are in two completely different leagues: OSBuilder seems to be aimed to rebuild the ROM as best as possible following the microsoft standards (for example only flat packages, no EXT) while mine is aimed at offering the most complete and easy solution indeed the autoimport, (there is no informations associated to the device names in the import list, the kitchen finds everything out by itself to rebuild the NBH/BIN/TSW for that device), batch multi-language ROMs generation, easily structured UI and also all the warnings to limit user mistakes to minimum, from an easy automatically recmodding of packages that prb dislikes to much crazier extents like checking the Radio/splash files signatures are OK or making sure the user doesn't try to import packages from the wrong folder (like C:\) destroying his filesystem. Just because my kitchen is (sadly) still platformrebuilder-based it doesn't mean it has to be trashed though: as you may know Da_G is rewriting all the tools properly (100% compliant to the original standards) and I'm adapting his LibNB functions to the kitchen as soon as those became available hence the actual ability of dump/rebuild any NBH correctly without even knowing what device it is and hopefully soon internal XIP porting so that the kitchen will be already able (with extreloc for the IMGFS) to build its own ROMs for any device without any of the platformrebuilder limitations.

[GUIDE] Tg01 AUTO COOK&porting ROM kitchen with guid!fix bug!

I hope i can help u learn how to cook rom and makes it more easier!
1.Structure OF THE KITCHEN
ROOT OF THE KITCHEN-------
dump----> This will contan files dumped from ROM,like OFFICIAL ROMS.
OEM---->This folder contans all the OEM DRIVERS and OEM software
ROM\XIP\ ---->contain boot.rgu,don't mod or del it!
SYS -------->SYS of WM build
SYSNEW ------>TH SYS OF NEW version of WM building u will proting
temp ----->temp files,and ROM files u cooked are here
TOOLS --------->All tools that ness for cooking
XIPNEW ------>NEW XIP of WM version.there are two styles:XIP.BIN and MSXIPKernel.u can porting them by choose correct method in my bat command
reg&iniflashfiles_tools ------->Tools to edit reg files and initflashfiles.
HOW TO：
1、IF u don't want to Porting new version of wm and u just want to mod ,u can dump OFFICIAL rom.
TO DO：Place official ROM in root of kitchen，run "dump ROM.bat" and follow the instruction.when finished,u will find OEM AND SYS in DUMP\DUMP.Move them to root of the kitchen.and move xip.bin in dump to root of kitchen and rename it to xip_out.bin.Now,u can edit softwares in OEM and build as u like by run"Build ROM.bat"
2、IF u want to cook new version of WM build,just down load new SYS AND XIP file form somewhere like DFT.usually,u may only need these parts:COMM，COMM_0409,WVGA_COMM,WVGA_COMM_0409 and XIP.
UNZIP COMM，COMM_0409,WVGA_COMM,WVGA_COMM_0409 to SYSNEW folder,UNzip MSXIPKernel form XIP to XIPNEW folder then run"Build ROM.bat" and follow the guid.
sorry for my english...
hope u can understand...

sorry for my mistake..
i forget something important
just creat ROM\XIP\ folder in root of kitchen and put this boot.rgu in it

Two worlds about how to integrate Sense in your ROMs maybe a good link if you have ?
Thanks

I tested your tool and it is great as it is well guided.
but i can not find OEM folder in dump/dump only many folders containing "....dll" names and one folder called "SYS"
Also when editing OEM`s to the rom i get the error "Creating initialflashfiles.dat"
Looks like i am even not able to build a rom with a auto tool
P.S. Wanted to add cabs to your wm6.1 rom using this tool

This is a DFT

Hello ffboy..
Can we use your tool to "modify" your sense rom, for exemple?
Thanks!
ps: moreover, i haven't got this folder "ROM\XIP\"...so i've got an error when i build the rom.
I tried to download your tool 3 times, but nothing....!!
What's wrong?
And I dumped the toshiba 6.5 rom, i did what you say in the first post and then i build the rom...
The original toshiba rom was 253mo and the new one is 244mo...but I didn't remove anything!!! Is this just because of the xip directory error i have during the "buildOs" process?
thanks!

i can dump it out without do DM2PKG and copy all files in dump folder to SYS and do some mods.run kitchen maybe it works...
u want ro add cabs autoinstall on first boot?
just dump my rom to files and copy all off them into SYS,then creat a .rgu file and place it into a folder in OEM
add these in .rug file:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TOSHIBA\AutocabInstall]

The original toshiba rom was 253mo and the new one is 244mo...but I didn't remove anything!!! Is this just because of the xip directory error i have during the "buildOs" process?
thanks!

Hello ffboy..
Can we use your tool to "modify" your sense rom, for exemple?
Thanks!
ps: moreover, i haven't got this folder "ROM\XIP\"...so i've got an error when i build the rom.
I tried to download your tool 3 times, but nothing....!!

Size difference is mostly because of the IMGFS building, which may well be skipping free space at the end (used for ImageUpdate). It shouldn't matter too much.
I'll stick this, and unstick the other kitchen.

Some roms that deleted all dsm and rgu files can't be dumped to OEM&SYS style
i can dump it out without do DM2PKG and copy all files in dump folder to SYS and do some mods.run kitchen maybe it works...
u want ro add cabs autoinstall on first boot?
just dump my rom to files and copy all off them into SYS,then creat a .rgu file and place it into a folder in OEM
add these in .rug file:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TOSHIBA\AutocabInstall]
"cab1"=""
"cab2"=""
"Reboot"=dword:15

Sorry i do not really get it
I dumped a official 6.5 Rom and there is like u said a OEM and a SYS Folder in dump/dump.
Using DMP2PKG i get an error on my win7 32bit by choosing "select folder"
Dumping your 6.1 rom it seems that in the dump/dump folder the OEM and his sub folders are not created, so all the data is loose.
will try some stuff and see where it gets me
Edit:
error : \.VM\imageinfo.bin not found, getting this with official and your 6.1

When dumping a cooked rom it is unlikley that you will get an OEM folder, i do not know why but the OEM parts can be found in the sys folder and relocated. Only dumping an original rom gives proper file segregation, ie OEM+SYS

Made my own rom now. Changed a official one and put some oem's in OEM folder.
Have some questions though:
How do you add the information to the rom , that it automatically adds a xxx.lnk file in startmenu for each program you have been put to OEM Folder??
Also how do you insert another input keyboard to the rom??
I wanted to add Neo2007 driverpack to my rom but it tells me that the xxx.dll already exists. how do i bypass this??
And how do I upgrade the netcf??
I now this is a lot of questions and maybe they are stupid, but i am totally new to rom-development. Thanks in advance
Thank you for this great tool

Could you explain: if /OEM doent exit after DUMP, do you fill with your new cab (transform in OEM?) and add a registry entry ?

I used this application to made my OEM's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525302
I just converted and put them into OEM folder.
Btw 1 thing concerning your 6.1 rom ffboy
Dumping it and putting everything to SYS does not work. I can not rebuild the rom , even if I do not add anything in OEM

1.ALL files in SYS and OEM placed default in WINDOWS folder.check initflashfiles.dat in OEM_LANG_0409 and initflashfiles.txt in ur own oem folder.these files can change the place of file.
if u want add FFBOY.LNK to startmenu,add command like this.
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("FFBOY.lnk","\Windows\FFBOY.lnk")
2.input keyboard can be added by download someone posted,u may search ur self.
3.if buildos tells u that XXX.DLL or some tile already exist,check the name and search in SYS or OEM to see if there exist a file in same name.
if exist,delete them except the newest one.
4.NETCF in wm6.5 already version 3.5

Learning to cook a rom

I've been reading up on cooking ROM's and with the help of leeston i managed to create a basic ROM earlier in the week. After searching for guides / tutorials on this stuff im really not that much the wiser, i cant seem to find anything that explains it well enough, there always missing details. The actual cooking process seems fairly straightforward but its those extra bits im missing ie
how do i add my own packages - am i right in just copying them to the SYS folder or is there more to it ?
how do i edit the registry - I know how to edit the registry once the ROM is loaded onto my phone but how do i do it from the ROM without the phone ?
how do i add things to the start menu - When i add packages to the SYS folder and load the ROM into my phone the shortcuts dont seem to be in my start menu
how do i add sense - i've loaded the packages but it never starts and theres no sense option in today settings
im new to this so as you'd imagine the questions i have are endless ...
Im sure most of this info is on XDA already somewhere but i just cant find it, maybe im searching for the wrong term or something.
Any help from the chef's would be great, perhaps you could provide links to tutorials / info you've used when learning to cook. Im sure this stuff would be useful to everyone and may even encourage more to have a go at cooking .

I am still new to cooking but I'll tell you what i believe to be correct.
1.Yes. To add a package to a rom you put the package into the SYS folder.
However be aware that the kitchen used for the TG01 cannot handle EXT (visual) packages, only OEM (old) packages can be used. Use Totalfires package converter to convert between the 2 types.
The above info is not strictly true but is what you need to know when cooking for the TG and i don't have the time or knowledge to write a complete tutorial.
2. Editing the registry is all to do with .RGU files, you can create a package with a new one in or edit the existing ones within the packages in the SYS folder. You can edit them with notepad but i suggest using Notepad2.
Once you open an .RGU file you should recognize the reg key text in the file and edit it accordingly. As far as i am aware the file MUST have REGEDIT4 in the first line and an empty line at the bottom in order to work. Another way is to edit the regkey on your device then export the regkey using resco or something similar, then rename the resulting file from .reg to .rgu then open it in note pad and copy and paste it into another packages .rgu file, or create a custom package for that .rgu file.
The registry can also be modified using cab files during autorun, but this can be a little messy as the cab can be uninstalled by the end user causing problems.
3. To do this you need to edit the initflashs.txt file within the . This can be done manually or with one of the many package tools available on this site. The one i use is below, it does the hardwork for you, you click a few options and it edits the required files as needed.
4. Sense is a funny one. You should just need to add all the required packages to the SYS folder and away it goes. Unfortunately this is rarely the case. It should just a case of making sure all the sense packages are there, including its many dependencies. Sense is one of my weaker areas so maybe some one else has better advice.
Hope this is useful.

do you have a loooong far way, but read the forumposts an try, try and shortPin and try. that was my way, or is my way. i have don´t helping, all found with google and in xda forum.
unfortunately, my English knowledge is terrible. otherwise I would write more.
best to dump a officiels ROM or miROM5 , then you have an example

Hi my friend, I have a problem to cook a ROM with cab which required a reboot or witch have a information message ( SWYPE or GPSMOdDriver for example)
Do you know a solution for this please?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info leeston and miro ;-). I havent had time to try it yet but will be over weekend and im almost sure now i know where to find the registry files ill be able to cook something decent up since that was my main problem. Thanks again for the help.

I may be wrong but when the cab files are first installed doesnt it automatically reboot ? If not you can always do a manual reboot ;-).

I've tried everything to get sense working but im just having no luck ... copied the packages to the sys folder, flashes fine, boots fine but no sense and now theres no setting shortcut in the start menu ?
Could i ask for the exact procedure for installing sense please ? Im getting my packages from here but replacing the 2017 home with 2016. Could i perhaps be missing something ?
Thanks again

I have try to delete the line "Reboot" after autocabinstall but nothing change the phone always reboot ... I think the only thing is to do OEM package...
I have test with many cabs but nothing works same as you with Sense ...
Have you found solutions ?

The solutoin is to use autorun instead of cabinstl, you can then write a custom script to handle the input required by the cab.
However this is above my head, and i couldn't get autorun to work. FFBOY knows how but i doubt you will get his help as he doesn't seem to check any threads other than his own rom threads, and if he does his responces are few and far between.

Those are the packages i used and they work so it's not the packages, but i cheated and dumped a sense rom then modified it. I don't have time to try and work out how to do it properly unfortunatley.

Well atleast i know the packages are fine, i was starting to wonder if that was the problem . Theres some satisfaction in doing it yourself but like miro said i think its just too much for me, ill give it another go later in the week and if that fails ill just dump a sense rom like you did ... if there was just a tutorial on installing sense packages etc id be fine, with sense being so popular you'd think there to be loads of tuts.
