I am a new and aspiring chef here and would like to cook a custom ROM for myself using DCD's latest Kitchen. I have been looking around at all the postings but don't see any specifically relating to using DCD's kitchen. If someone could put together a little step by step tutorial on how to do this I think it would be very helpful for a lot of us. DCD, your roms rock but I just want to cook in some of my own personal favorite things. Thanks for everyones help in advance!

Ha ha ha, programs. I know there are others who use his ROM as a base for their own custom roms. I want to cook my own rom with his latest kitchen plus a few other OEM's like slingplayer, wmwifirouter, etc. someone please give me some help here. I am sure that I am not the only person who will make good use of this information.

I read it but it is possible I missed something. I just want to be sure I get it right and don't brick my phone.
In order to add your own OEMS, simply copy them into the OEM directory and they will then show up when you run BuildOS.
Slingplayer works fine in my unit cooked off DCD's kitchen.
I am most recently looking into the UC compatibility to automatically customize a rom without having to cook it.
How do I prepare cab files for insertion into the OEM directory?
you have to get oemizer. google it/search button at top

Could you hook me up with your slingplayer oem files? I can't find them anywhere and tried oemizer to no end!
I want to use DCD's new 3.0 kitchen, but I would rather use the new 3.5 OEM ROM as a base, because I would rather use WM 6.0 than 6.1
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to do this? Do I need to extract something from the OEM ROM and place it in a certain folder in his kitchen, or can I just place the OEM .nbh file somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to another thread with more detailed information about cooking ROM's.

ok i was able to get the ruu extracted with nbhtool.
what came out of that was
Extendedrom.nb
windows.nb
primarysplash.nb
radio.nb
secondarysplash.nb
spl.nb
then i tried tadzios app to try and dump the rom i used the hermes setting and prophet setting both didnt give me a dump folder just some files. one was imgfs others i forgot.
anyone have any ideas.
aWaiter.exe -1 05_OS.nb -force
aWaiter C# Port
===================
By Olipro, dibs to ahlok_hk
===================
[05_OS.nb] is not a valid OS file...
Not having much luck converting the nb to imgfs either. I've tried aWaiter, aChef, and then various imgfs tools that errored out. I don't know enough about the file format to conclude anything (for all I know, I missed a step somewhere. )
Anyone with more experience have anything to add?
upload the os.nb and ill try some things
Here it is! Extracted with nbhextract.
http://rapidshare.com/files/43674293/05_OS.zip
I just uploaded the windows.nb from the 6800 rom to an ftp (no wait):
ftp://ppcgeeks:[email protected]/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/
I also uploaded the SPL incase anyone wants to take a look at that it's in the same directory.

err its not that simple
firstly atm the tool only goes one way, secondly even if you did get one to re-compile it you cannot flash unsigned code to the titan until someone bypasses that.
Oh that just bites. I was hoping to have some touchflo goodness sooner rather than later.
Also how fast does something like that usually take? days? Months? years? is it something simple. Or is it a very daunting task like looking for an exploit in the xbox 360

Very nice man i have tested these and the work perfect. thanks man again. lol like the third time.
well at least we have you and you have done more than the rest. I'm sure as soon as some of the rest of the smart people get a hold the work you have already done we will see more action in the coming months. So thanks for your contribution to the community. Best I can do is make everyone I can aware of the new titan subforums here so they can come and play. Thanks!!
Also anyone wanting me to test anything just let me know as I am a sprint repair center and I have full insurance and advance exchange at my disposal.
I dont want to sound like a noob but i am. So all i need to do is download the dump tools and install? Will this suffice or is there extra steps. please help me...im confused....

The dump tools in midgets post will dump the files from the RUU_Singed.nbh. you will need to extract the .nbh from the newest rom update HTC released. i think the nbh may be in this thread look on page one im not sure.
once you extract the .nbh whats the nexts step??
I went through many posts on this and it seems other people have the same issue yet no one has replied to them with a solution...
While experimenting on Korands 2.5 & 2.6 roms (btw great work!), everything goes well until i need to "dump xip". When i run this i get the following error:
Xip2.bin: No such file or directory
...and after that no files are copied and i can't go further than that to build the ROM.
1. What is the cause behind this?
2. Does this, for some reason, only happen to certain ROMs
3. More importantly...solution?
Appreciate all the help!
Suggest you cook a factory ROM first and get the hang of it before cooking a cooked ROM. Some cooked ROM's will take an expert to recook by deleting some info to make itself smaller.

sorry, thread flush only~~
There have been a lot of new roms lately, However nobody is releasing a kitchen. I was trying to convert an old kitchen to work with the new GPS rom and windows mobile 6.1 but have had no luck. I know that it is possible though because no2chem made a rom like that. PLEASE if you are making roms release your kitchens too or write a tutorial teaching everyone else how to make a kitchen.
Thanks in advance
Most if not all kitchens are not ready for the light of day yet. There are bugs still being worked out. You need to be a little more patient.
there is no2chem kitchen for wm6.1
just be happy and greatful that you got the roms so quickly. Wait patiently like the rest of us.

Yeah...I like having the cooks try their recipes out first a bunch of times before they release them to the general public........
....I wonder....which one of our star rom cooks looks the most like Julia Childs.......
he-he-heh....
Disregard this.
I figured they'd be waiting for an official rom release before they release a kitchen.
I'm hungry
IVe seen alot of people say you can break a rom out to into a kitchen using a tool of dogs is this possible? does anyone else know if there will be akitchen soon?

You can.
given our recent experiences, I suspect that as soon as DCD has a chance, he'll probably have his kitchen updated with WM6.1 and the new GPS stuff... and then I think I will finally learn to cook a bit =]
I haven't noticed any of our local chefs dawdling on anything, so I'm willing to let them get it done when they can.
That said, of course, I am also waiting with anticipation =]

all i can say is patience young padawan. Honestly man, im workin a lot on my roms, and fixing up my kitchen, i was almost ready to release it yesterday, but then 6.1 came. i havent given the wife the time of day all week because of the work ive been doing for this kitchen lol. Im sure when one of us with a working /semi stable kitchen feel like releasing it, it will be release.
As for the teach or release, i could release you my kitchen, and that would teach you a lot just because of all the bugs and hacking i have to do each time i fix something, or try to add something new in, i know that this isnt a kitchen thats ready for n00bs. but if you wanna brick your phone, by all means, pm me.
its not that hard to start building guys...I posted gthe steps that I use before ..and I've only started doing this stuff when the gps rom came out..this is what I did.
downloaded dogguys kitchen from ppcgeeks.
download the big rar full of oems (packages/apps for your rom) from ppckitchen.org
take someones clean rom such as no2chem or dcd here..take a clean rom and put the ruu_signed.nbh in root folder of dogguys kitchen and run prepit.bat
that breaks up the clean rom and makes appropriate folders.
next unrar your big rar full of oem's into the oem folder that's was just created by running prepit.bat(i also found and even bigger package of oems here at xda so you are not limited to what's in ppckitchen.org's archive.
then ..optionally run oemizer to customize certain things
then..the big part..run buildos.exe..this is the part that gets tough. buildos can die for a lot of reasons but that's why there is a logt file
when you are doine choosing stuff in buildos ..make sure there are no duplicate packages and hit play..after you fix a dozen errors and hit play a dozen more times then you can ruin buildit.ba and flash your rom (in the ruu folder inside kitchen)
have fun

Can you please provide a link to the "even bigger package of oems here at xda"?
sorry no i cant as i just happened upon it.. have a look at the xda wiki and you'll see it there ..also the xda wiki has some good stuff on making your own oem's and junk like that, which is where i saw the link.. i wouldnt reccommend that big package anyway as it has a l9ot of duplicates in it and junk and really just made the rom build harder.
if you dont see what you want in the ppckitchen rar, then you probably can't get it/wont work anyway..so then youy would have to m qake your own oem..
so look at xda wiki, look up how to make your own oems and you will find the link there..but as i say..the ppckitchen rar should have everything you could want
ps. search..search..search..
be careful ..think about it before you start playing with this stuff. its very addictive.
Kitchen released for 3.16 SPRINT GPS rom
Hey guys, I have uploaded my kitchen over at PPCGEEKS
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16872
have fun!
Hello everyone. I am new to the forums, and I am struggling to create my own rom. I have read many tutorials and looked at Wiki too, but still am unable to create my own rom.
I was wondering if anyone on here is willing to create a video demonstration of how to actually use Hypercore Hitchen.
IE. Take an OS.nb dump it, make some changes, Cook and then Flash.
(I am particularly struggling to understand ExtROM part.)
You guys could use the following free software program to create the video demonstration as it allows Desktop recording: http://camstudio.org/
I'm sure there are many other people on these forums that would appreciate this gesture.
Thank you in advance.
sure ill make one.
i have camstudio anyway

Ah amazing!!!! I think this will be beneficial to many beginners like myself.
(Please take into consideration that im a noob at this when making the demonstration haha. )
alright some is going to be really obvious so if you dont understand tell me.
there will lots of parts where you need to copy ad do this but i didnt do them in the video because im working on a ROM right now and i dont want to mess things up
I know how to dump an OS.nb to get the SYS and OEM files.
What I dont understand is what to do next, and what to do with a rom that has an ExtROM folder.
Perhaps just make a demo of your procedure and I'll see if I can understand / learn from that.
i havent used a rom with an extended rom folder so i wouldnt be able to help you on that.
Could you still produce a video for one without an extrom folder? It will still be a good start. Thanks.

Hello everyone can someone give me a link to a cab file or qwest ROM so that I can flash that since my EPST is not working. Someone said in the RELOADED thread that the qwest cab file will help me access that.
That would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
Did a search and gives a lot of ROM stuff, but don't want to flash the whole ROM, just need the cab file. I hope that made sense since I'm still a noob at this.

Are you looking for the carrier cab? and what rom r u running because if you are running reload the carrier cab is on the device
1.3.4 . Install scott rom pack under my documents and it will be under my document\scott rom pack\carriers
If you r running beta it is already under my documents\carrier cabs
I just checked your other post and you already have the carrier cab that you need. Which rom version do you have? 1.3.4 or beta?
either way here is a link to dcd carriers
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers/
Thanks for the reply...
I just looked and the ROM is 1.3.4
ROM date: 8/22/08
Radio Version: 3.35.04
Protocol version: DCAAXAM-4350H
But it still would not let me get into EPST for some reason. I will install that cab file and see what happens.
Thanks for the links....
In the 1.3.4 if you open file explorer and look in my device\my documents there is scott rom pack. Install it.
Open file explorer again and under my device\my documents\scott rom pack\carriers here is the carrier cabs just install quest carrier.
Or you can use the cab in the link
