I have aquired a couple of xdas that were damaged and mad a complete one out of the part adn would like to have a play around with the rom kitchen.
However i dont have a unix machine, is there any way i can get the rom kitchen to run under a pc, i have microsoft virtual pc but it wont load any unix or linux stuff (dont know why)
thanks in advance
I think Linux is required. (Never tried ist myself under Windows). There should be to much work to get it running under windows (Adapting scripts, tools, ....)
So you should be able to instal a standard Linux Debian, Suse, Redhat in your virtual PC and then use this virtual PC for ROMkitchen. There is a BAsic ste on the ftp you can use for....

Normally it shloud work....
Take a look at the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ There is a little tool, called AdaptROM. Search for it and use it......

can you let me know the configuration of the pc that you run the rom kitchen on. I would like to set p my own kitchen but only have widows pcs and not unix ones. Any help would be great.
thanks in advance
Think you need a unix box.

Hello!
Is there any method of accessing internet from a PC *though* Wallaby's GPRS? As I could undestend a Wallaby device is intended to connect to internet through PC when it is connected to it, or through the GPRS when it separated. And I would like to use GPRS as internet source for my PC - is that possible?!!
Waiting for your answers...
Thanks in advance

Some ROMS do have a wireless modem integrated. I think with this tool you can do that.
It will act as a normal modem, you can use with your PC....
Stefan
How can I check if this my case? and how to use it? any docs, manuals, links? please...
An overview which rom includes the wmodem application could be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
There have been some instructions about the wmodem from o2, but i never read them through... ;-)

There is no WM2003SE with wmodem And I have already installed a WM2003SE from your kitchen and was so happy, that I've made it Now I will have to downgrade (p.s. is that painless? from WM2003SE to WM2003? ) Those download links from the page, you have shown abow, do not wokrk As far as I can understand - those are clean ROMs...
And one more thing: as I've mentioned, I've cooked a WM2003SE based ROM, but with some additional apps (selected while cooking) and they did not install... for example there is a plugin for MSMoney on today screen, but when clicking it, it says "error opening or locating target filename"... same with AgileMessanger and lots of others intended to be installed (but some were still installed)... Why is that? Now I think it would be better to install a "cleen" system and then to add what I do need....
Thanx for your answers.... waiting for more I do need them
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just tried it in the moment. Downloading worked for me fine.... You can also use a normal ftp-client to access the server and download the file(s)....

That's very courius. But i've also to say, the Wm2003SE was not so "hard tested" than the other cooking process....
There are many Users out htere sing a cooked ROM (most use Wm2003) without any Problem. So i think you don not have to use a clean ROM for your installtion....

hey thanks for all the help so far! i've got 2003 loaded and want to mod it to look like iphone now is there a good way of doing this or should i continue to put to geather my own from parts of others work?
do a search for iphone skins in the forum there are tons!
and such skins are not taylor'd for specielt devices as a rule
most programs made for windows mobile work for all devices
better mods
i hate to be a bother but the best most complete iphone mods need wm5 or higher! is there a way to get this old wallaby up to wm5?
or should i just keep hacking togeather my own?

esn hex?? Cricket??
Hey guys I got a good rom in and got a mostly working iphone mod going too.
Now i would like to put this phone on my Cricket account and they say all they need is a esn # and hex#, do you know how i could get these #'s or do i need to flash the rom to something else to make it compatible with the cricket perpaid system?
it been a while guess this is not posable?
The wallaby is a gsm phone, cricket runs on cdma (sprints i believe, correct me if im wrong) they two networks are not compatible
DCD if you dont like what im doing just tell me to delete this post and i will.
All credit goes to DCD one of the best kitchen and Rom maker's out there.
If it wasn't for him our 6800's would be almost useless.
This is for the people who are using the titan kitchen. I took DCD's latest build and repackaged it for the PPCKitchen.org Titan Kitchen located
here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206
Place it in your BuildOS/Kitchens directory and then extract "Titan_DCD_3.01_Selections.txt" and place it in the BuildOS/Projects directory.
Now you can create your own custom DCD rom using the new kitchen and DCD's latest build.
I've been using this for about 20 hrs and the rom is very stable.
Thanks again DCD u Da MAN!!!!!!!!
Make Sure to remove---> _fixed <---from the end of the file before u place it in the kitchens folder.

Errors in PPCkitchen
King - Thanks for putting this together
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message (a bunch).
I downloaded the main file and did the updater.
When I go into BuildOS and select DCD 3.0.4 5054 or 5060, I am bombarded with error messages "Internal Error - Option.xml GUID not found (PROGRAM - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) where the "Program" is the name of the program and the x's are registry keys.
After I click ok 100 times to get through to the Kitchen, it allows me to select programs and build the OS, but once I install it, nothing actually gets installed on the phone.
Do you know what is causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

King_tee - I had to do alot of editing to get ALL the errors to go away. I had to remove the welcomehead96.png, also had to remove a few other items.... like remotedesktop..... I guess I should have taken a log of what I did....
Edit - However - VERY nice job getting it to where it is..... Thank you
Thanks will try. The BuildOS in the regular kitchen is crashing so I can now cook a kitchen.
Also will my OEMs made for the 3.0.1 rom work if I put them in the build os directory. I didn't use the OEMizer w/ BuildOS. It appears to be the same just w/ a different save directory.

The sliding sounds module is in the DCD OEM's folder......when u open it up in the kitchen it should come up as a selectable OEM. At then point all you have to do is select it.

I don't know if it does.Are you are referring to the ppckitchen or DCD's Kitchen?
What i have provided is just a modified version of DCD's work (all credit goes to him) that will work in the ppckitchen.
You can check over here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206
if you are talking about the ppckitchen, and they should be able to answer your questions.
If you asking about the DCD kitchen you can ask over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385336 and im sure he will help you out.
I guess the obvious question is, what's the difference between the two kitchens?
DCD's kitchen is built around his ROM. The PPCkitchen kitchen isn't designed for any specific ROM or device.
Advantages of DCD's kitchen:
It's what DCD is using, so you know it builds his ROM like he intended it.
Advantages of PPCkitchen's kitchen:
Easy to install.
Prettier front end.
More error checking.
More OEMs to pick from.
Self updating.
Device dependency/exclusions supported
Carrier dependency/exclusions supported
OEM dependency/exclusions supported
Easy to move same configuration from one kitchen to the next.
Effortless switching between ROM configurations and kitchens
Splash/animation support

I honestly don't think you give DCD enough credit for his work.... Here are some more Advantages....
Easy to use
Builds a basic ROM with only 2 clicks of the mouse.
Can be used behind firewalls.
No IP logging when you use it. (I had been told this was logged with your login name)
In all fairness both systems work very well, while the PPC kitchen has a more elegant streamlined interface, I do believe the end result is the same, a working ROM the way "I" want it.

Could be because DCD has only a little to do with what we're talking about (which I gave him credit for). That's Bepe's buildos you're looking at, and essentially what we're comparing is Bepe's buildos w/ DCD integrated against PPCKitchen's buildos w/ DCD integrated.
You can't seriously suggest that Bepe's buildos is easier to use - the interface is practically identical! Both are about the same difficulty to use in their most basic, unaltered configurations, and both can build a basic rom w/ 2 clicks. Installing, configuring, starting, and maintaining is a lot different however...the nod hands down goes to ppckitchen there. Once you get past a basic configuration, PPCkitchen's buildos is unchallenged.
The proxy/firewall thing is fixed (general release this weekend) and it doesn't log IPs (never has).
Bepe's buildos get's the nod for no internet connection required, and the previous version (I don't know about v2) get's the nod for Linux compatible. Bepe's buildos also get's the nod for being more interfaceable to other projects and having more projects using it, but none of that is related to the original question (except maybe linux compatibility). [EDIT: v2 isn't native linux compatible, so no nod there.]
All of this is not too suprising, as PPCkitchen's buildos is, at it's core, an evolution of Bepe's Buildos.
I give credit to all sources DCD's kitchen / PPC Geeks kitchen and more.
They both offer the tools to make a ROM to your likings, some better then other, but the fact of the matter is that it gets the job done.
What PPC Geeks version is doing is making a bit more user friendly ( in my opinion ), but I still used DCD's kitchens because I really don't add any extra OEM's to my ROM's unless it is a specifically Themed ROM and then again I can get it done with both kitchens with ease.
I guess users will just have to test them both out themselves to see if they prefer one or the other.
What would be great is if we can have a Modifier / virtual simulator / kitchen where we can find ways to modify our ROM's / PPC's to their best potential ( such as drivers, RAM Management that works / compatibility with different OS and maybe interface change support ).
A virtual simulator to test out all of our modifications by simulating our respective device just as if we were to cook the ROM ( this could save tons of time rather then just flashing all the time or preventing an accidental bricking of your phone)
And a Universal kitchen for practically any Device ( well TITAN at least for our use ) that works on XP, Vista, MAC, and even Linux.
Im sure with all the developers on this forum and on ppcgeeks we would be able to get this done some time in the future.
Just an Idea....

PPCkitchen buildos is actually the closest you can come currently for easily swapping components around, and there's a universal kitchen here on xda that supports many devices (way more devices than PPCkitchen does).

You'll have to elaborate a little better. If I had to guess, however, I'd say that you might have an older version of winrar installed. As a workaround, you can manually extract and modify the selections to use the extracted dir instead of the .rar.
Hello guys i have just moved from HTC Wizard Thread because i have sold my old Wizard and have bought my brand new T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. Flashing, Dumping, etc on Wizard was really simple. But in Touch Pro i cant get through the all things. Maybe it is my not very good technical english or something. All i do is just reading and reading and cant get through. So I have still my stock ROM for Vario IV wich is even slower than Wizard custom ROMs, so its annoying a lot and it is still slow after i made all the registry tweaks! I would like to flash new faster ROM but i do not want to do it until i am sure i could reconstruct my stock ROM in case of some warranty isues. First thing i want to say is that i use Windows Vista Bussines x64 so maybe all my problems are in the case of 64bit drivers, but i did not find any compatibility information about all the utils.
1. I went to the thread how to dump and reconstruct Touch Pro ROM. I made all the necesary things but i cant even extract any raw file still get ITReadDisk error which i find in the thread but i did not get any solution.
2. I have downloaded T-Mobile ROM from czech T-Mobile official pages extracted the file RUU_signed.nbh, but i do not know how can i extract it. ROM kitchen did not help, or even if i can use it to reconstruct :-(
3. I tried NBHextract file but i think it is not usable for Touch PRO. I got few files SPL, 2x MainSplash and OS image, all *.nb, but i am not sure if i can use it to reconstruct original ROM.
Point of this, why i want ot do it is: I want to load HardSPL but i want to have backup of my stock SPL if i need to revert my warranty. Any help would be appreciated
I use Calkulin's Kitchen, which makes it easy to extract the RUU_signed.nbh and rebuild it. See the thread here or download the kitchen.
What program did you use to extract the ROM from your device? I used pdocread which worked great. Not sure if that works on Vista x64.

I used pdocread.exe file but anytime i tried to dump rom i got the ITReadDisk Error, and any RAW file was not made just the first one with 0B size. Also i have downloaded the Raphael kitchen from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411915 and my Symantec endpoint security reported Trojan Horse in RaphaelCustomRUU.exe in Tools directory.
Sounds like it is not 64bit compatible. Any reason your running 64bit Vista? Unless you have a need for it your not going to see much performance difference on a desktop, just a hassle of compatibility problems with hardware that doesn't have 64bit drivers.
If you use Calkulin's Kitchen you will need the imgfstools from the Raphael kitchen you downloaded. They have been patched to allow ROMs to be larger than 128MB.
reason i run 64bit vista is that i have 8GB of RAM because i need to run multiple os in vmware. Will try it from win xp in vmware...
Anyway. Can i flash original ROM with all its parts shipped from T-Mobile to a device which has HardSPL applied? If i did that on HardSPLed HTC Wizard, i would have brick it...that is why i am asking.
im trying to get into the development of roms for different devices where should i look to start learning like any tutorial of any sort ?
Hi!
Start reading in Chef Central to get infos.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=612
Download a kitchen, dump a stock rom and re-flash it onto your device.
(I prefer ervius Visual kitchen ==> search for it)
If every thing works fine, go step by step and modify the files in your rom one by one.
e.g.
replace some isolated ext packages
replace manila
modify files in ext packages
replace the WM rom build
...
