Hi all,
I made this manual in order to help people like myself to better understand ROM cooking basics.
It was ment to be used for Prophet ROMs, but since it uses HyperCore Kitchen, it can be practicaly used for any WM6 ROM.
Please be free to post your comments and/or suggestions.
NOTE: This manual reffers only to "old" way of ROM cooking (first downgrading to WM5, and then flashing to WM6)
If you find it useful, please vote.
Thanks to:
Gullum (for great ROMs)
Anichillus (for great Kitchen)
Cloudyfa (for Step1 ROM)

No, thank you!! I will look into it.
me too
i like this
Thanks for your effort, this is a really good guide.
I just wanted to ask is there a difference between ROMs built this way and ROMs that we flash using new Hard/SoftSPL method.
I saw nb2nbf tool, so is it possible to just convert OS.nb file and flash it using new method or is there some more work that needs to be done?
thank you
I really need it !
Ill check it out this weekend! Seems like fun to me
I have red this guide and it is very clear, very thourough and a big help to anyone starting to cook! THANKS!!
(@ allothers that are missing some extra's: it is NOT an advanced course! So, don't complain but take an example and publish your own knowledge and experience this way. Then everyone can benefit)
Initiatives like these are giving back the original gaoal of this website, it isn't called "xda-developers" for nothing.
Perhaps someone can make a tutorial for skinning standard OS-parts (commanager, dialer, calculator, etc...) Or how to translate your favorite ROM to your own language?
you can't use this way to create XIP from Shadow's ROM, Crystal V5. ROM or from Korand's ROM.
If someone can make this XIP.. Could anyone share the file...
with that file. I can make a new ROM based on new OS..

Never flashed any of these ROMs you specified - so if their XIPs can't be dumped using Dump XIP tool from the HyperCore Kitchen, than I won't bother with them. Let me add that ROM cooker can also remove RGU files from ROM before posting, making it very difficult for someone to modify it. Then I'll skip such ROM too.
But...
FACTS
- This manual was intended for beginners.
- When you are a beginner in ROM cooking you don't like to be confused, but want it all to be clear to you before you do anything to your expensive device.
- I see that you are using modified Touch ROM, which can be dumped with this method.
- I also use modified Touch ROM, but I will not post it - there is enough good ROMs out there already
Cheers!
Hi All - my first post
Thanks for this Phnikola, I'm brand new to all this (smartphone) stuff and need a place to start. Looks good so far.
My TC500 never was in the shops, has no support and no official upgrade path (hmmm...) but there are a few cunning points concerning SIP and home landline "awareness" in the original ROM I'd like to take with me up into WM6.1 (got Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE ready to go).
Any1 have any good advice for me?
Thanks again

Yes it does, but you don't have to cook your own ROM. Just wonder around a bit on this forum and pick a ROM that suits you.
Dear phnikola
Thanks a lot for such nice guide... I was trying to use HyperCore kitchen for last 4 hrs but was not able to pass step 1 of extractiong Os.nb

ok i think many many many of us might be having this query in our minds but no one (surprisingly) has asked this question yet...
it all made sense that ppl were asking for WM6 ROM ports for the Atom life when actually there was an official ROM....
(PPL said it didn make sense... and yes i very much agree that it sure didnt)
but recently i saw the WM Kernel 6.1 Demo and have been in love wit ever since....
Will any of the great souls of this forum be PORTING the WM6.1 to the ATOM LIFE any time Soon...?
Forgive me if this question has been asked befor (i searched for it in this section but failed)
waiting for a reply
TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS

it's actually for SP not PPC. see this thread
let's pray for it
it seems that the demo is for SP only but it seems down right STU**D for MS to not release the Update for the PPC... the latter being the high end in both hardware and OS...
so i'm pretty sure that it is in the offing in the not so distant future ;-)
m8 and i found this screenshot from one of the BA ROMs posted in the respective forum sections...
what bout this is it some srta joke..?
I dont think PDAViet group makes fun of themselves anyway.
But you never know there are ways to change the build and version number.
unless there is a better verification rather than just build number, it's just gonna be hard. Maybe someone could be check some of dll file version

totally agree! it's easy to fake such numbers. even good ol MS paint can easily do the trick!
I have ported the new wm6.1 to atom life ,and it run quite stable and the speed is faster than wm6.
but It has two bugs:1.I have ported the wm6.1 XIP to life except 3 files,so the XIP version could't show properly
2.wm6.1 implement new sms program,and if you use the reset button
to restart the phone,then your lately sms and phone record will lose,so the only solution is using some software to soft-rest the phone.
the download link is here:http://www.pdaclan.com/thread-6318-1-1.html
this version is chinese version,and I HOPE someone can translate it to english or maybe IF i Have spare time I will do it.
THANKS FOR reading my poor english.
Nice ROM
How did you change the bootscreens ? If I extract the original screens from XIP, I only can open it with Windows Paint.
I never figured out how to change them.
It looks good and seems fast, but unfortunately I can't read chinese.
What's the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one ?

wow! I spoke too soon!!! hehehehehe. well, if it's true that WM6.1 is out already, there is no need to rush things and jump to 6.1 this early. IMO there are still some bugs to be fixed in our WM6 right we can then finalize WM6 first, to become very fast and stable. before leaping into WM6.1 that i'll bet a grand full of bugs! hehehehe

Change the bootscreens is easy,and I hope you can understand what I explain:1.as you said,you should extract the original screens from XIP,2.you should EDIT IT using photoshop,you can open two files,one is the bootscreens file ,the other is the one you want to be your
bootscreens,and then you should copy the other image then paste it to the bootscreens file,3.when all these is done,you can merge Layer of the bootscreens file and make sure that the file size is 153,672byes,and then you can replace the file in XIP and use xipport to build the new XIP.
the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one is the first has implement the new xip from the original 9000 wm6.1 rom ,but it couldn't show the version numbers:5.2.19195,instead, it show 5.2.18120.Meanwhile,it's pure edition, THE new one's XIP is from the p800 wm6.1 ROM,but I think the XIP is faked because I have compare it to the 18538 XIP and found out most of the files are the same.but THE new one can show the version numbers:5.2.19195.That's it.
QQ108108, are you okay?
I'm trying to translate, without success, your ROM, but I'm a noobie and need.
If you give me some directions, I can keep trying to do it.
Hugs,
Nalvio
Please do your best we are waiting anxiously for this rom.
Thanks

How to get the original bootscreen from XIP?
How to replace the new image in XIP?
Is it the same with Atom/Atom Exec in nk.exe/S000?where is the first byte in hex of image in S000?
More, I found BooScr.bmp in ATOM LIFE KITCHEN\TOOLS\OUT\FILES\OEMXIPKERNEL after run XIPPort. That file size 153,672bytes, Is it right?

It's easy to get the original bootscreen,just use xipport to dump the original XIP,then you will find BootScr.bmp in /out/files,and the method to replace the new image in XIP I have explain in the previous post.
I think that it's not the same as Atom/Atom Exec,because I can't find anything like image files in Atom/Atom Exec XIP.
BTW,TO my atom life,replacing the new image in xip do not need to EDIT nk.exe/S000.

It's not difficult to translate the rom,All I need is wwe rom,and the wwe SYS from the other device,and I can make a wwe wm6.1 rom, but now I'm dealing with the most difficult part:XIP,maybe when I finish this part,I will make a wwe rom for your guys.SO now you just need to wait or try to make one by yourself.
btw,I am a chinese with poor english,so I don't think I can give you a clear directions.Sorry.
I have it in my raphael.
http://rapidshare.com/files/151349762/raphael_1.90.831.3.rar
It is part01.raw and part02.raw files, WWE.
Yes sir, pls. Is it russian ROM?
now, it is wwe rom, updated first post
I'll make into an nbh later on if needs be. Good work sir.
Probably is still build 19965 (rom 1.90) so unless there is any newer OEM stuff it should still be the stock raphael build.
just want to make sure it is 1.90.813.3 or 1.90.831.3
I am looking for the 831 shipped rom as I still cannot find it anywhere
THX~
most probably 831.3
I have flashed roms before and this may be a stupid question ... but how do i get the .raw files onto my touch pro?
Thanks in adv

You have to build a flashable .nbh file with the rom kitchen!

Hi, I'm sure someone will be as it's the latest version, and it'll also be useful to users requiring ROM restoration to have as many different images available as possible in the hopes of matching their original.
So please upload it and post it on the wiki.
Can anyone direct me to a thread on how to rip the rom out of my phone ?
Im not really too sure where to start. But I did want the option to reflash to the original rom should I not really like one of the cooked roms.
I will do a search, but if anyone has a quick link id appreciate it
Hi every one.
I'm currently starting a new rom for my french raphael.
I don't know where to find the last OS build.
I managed to play modifying my base rom from the original htc rom, but I'd like to update the os with the last build.
Can someone tell me where to find them ?
This message is a bit oriented for huang.Tuah, and/or other cookers or anyone who can help me find the ingredient to cook a good rom.
I'm searching for latest packages too.
Please great cookers ! help me to become one of yours ;-D
Thanks.

Edit: Hi, after several hours of searching I finally not find the answer to my problem. However, after compiling file Flash(_new).Bin. I flashed my Acer and it remains blocked at 98.4%, had you ever had this problem and if so, could you help me?
Flash 99%
Hi, when I used any non-official Roms I can't passe the programming FLASH sequence. The soft stop downloaded at 98% or 99%, but I dont know why?
Does anybody knows how to use this Kitchen?
I know how but, its not very user friendly and you really need to have ext realloc knowledge and xip, i might release a cooking guide but i dont know yet, some russian guys are working on a visual kitchen for the acer s200 so lets see what comes first.

rafyvitto, please release a cooking guide, or fix this current kitchen, i always getting errors! haha
i really love to try the newest/latest build, current build 28014 ?
Thanx Rafyvitto!
So it means that you cook and build your own Roms with this Kitchen, right?
I assume that you extract the latest HTC HD2 Custom-Roms and then you try whether they are working on an Acer S200 or not, if I´m not mistaken cause many HD2 modifications, like transparent Clock, 1 percent HTC Battery bar or Max Manila 2.5 etc. are also working on my Acer. (Logically it´s simply the HD2 Manilla 2.5 version...)
Yeah Please release a guide when you have some time left. I would also like to build my own custom-Roms...
Can you upload your beta v0.3 Rom?
