Hi Ramersonw,
That was fast man, you did it! First of all, let me congratulate and thank you for your great work. It was really nice of you to take time out of your schedule and make the very much needed kitchen for gene. Thanks a lot! It really must have been some hard work. Atleast somebody took the initiative to do it.
Now coming my experience with it. I have a P3400i (New Gene) with Onbl 1.17.000 and SPL 1.07.Oref (patched).
I, for obivious resons selected the "New Gene" radio button while building the ROM. As my first experience with it, i tried to build the ROM with default settings, just added back the Transcriber packages to the OEM part.
At first, the process started and BuildOS built the files, but on the registry part it gave an error building the main registry hives. I looked at the log file in dump folder and it listed a .rgu (registry setting) file missing which, on checking , i found that is present in the XIP_OLD folder but not in XIP folder, so i copied the file from there to the XIP folder and tried again. Bingo! it worked, G'Reloc ran and then the htcrt tool merged the OS_new.nb and extrom.nb successfully.
For people who are experiencing the registry error, please look at the log file in dump folder which is automatically created during the build process and look at the last line where it is saying that xxxxxxx.rgu file is missing. Find that file in the folder where your kitchen is. It will be in some XIP_NEW folder, copy it to the adjacent XIP folder.
After that, when i flashed the ROM to my phone, it flashed completly fine to 100% and the RUU tool showed No Error. But after that, phone was hung on the HTC splash screen/boot screen. It is showing the Onbl, spl, radio and OS versions and after some time, the radio starts which is chracterised by the blinking of green LED. but it doesn't boots furthur. I checked for 20 mins.
I tried some combinations of packages as well but no avail. I think the problem is with the XIP as i have read many times on this forum, this problem happens whenever ppl flash invalid XIP partition to the device. And after radio initialization, i think the next thing that happens is the initialization of XIP area for loading the main parts of OS (i could be wrong, these are just my assumptions).
Also, if i select the Single Package option, the exe that does it gives and error and quits. But the build process continues even after that.
So, all in all the UI is great, its usable and pretty and we can talk about it later. First this issue needs to be ironed out.
What do say brother?
PS: I tried all these operations on Vista as well as XP Pro SP3.

hi people
Sorry for the broken link. I have some problems with rapidshare so i upload the kitchen to another server here (1st post updated too)
To krazy_about_technology
I made a few modifications to xip. Please test it. If not work this time send me the xip.bin or os.nb of any rom that works on your device (wm6.1). That way I could analise it and update kitchen. I can't test here because i have an old gene (HT7xx).
PS. Transcriber goes to SYS not OEM.

---

can u plz upload only modify xip.bin
here is xip.bin extract from GENE_wm6.1_19971wwe fusion9.0_new_gene
i dump this xip.bin and copy it to XIP_NEW but still doesn't boot furthur

---

thanks for reuploading
i'll give it a try

Thank You So Much I m Going To Try it With my New Gene

Hey Ankit, that's not gonna work as the XIP is that part of the system that does not have to loaded into the RAM. The executables in this parts must be of the same CE OS build that the rest of the ROM is. These executables have their headers stripped off as no relocation of addresses takes place, that only happens when the file is loaded into RAM. So these files always run at fixed memory addresses.(This is as far as i know, i could be wrong). So Ramersonw will have to build the XIP from the same OS that he is using. He just wants the your XIP to look at it and figure out what needs to be corrected.
@Ramersonw: Buddy thanks for the quick response. I am downloading the file uploaded at new location. I hope this contains the changes you did. I'll try this and post here the details. The 4Shared site is very slow today, maybe because of the undersea cable cuts. I m getting only 7-14 KBps rite now

i download reuploaded file but still there is problem

---

Improved but the problem remains
Hi Ramersonw,
I tried the newly uploaded kitchen. The registry file problem is gone and the ROM building process is smooth now, but, the XIP problem remains as it is.
As ankit360 has posted the XIP of LomLom's fusion ROM, i am attaching with this mail, the XIP of WM 6.1 Stock ROM (look a like, actually). Its a very plain looking vanilla 6.1 ROM with quiet old CE OS and apps, but this one and lomlom's fusion both run fine on New Gene devices. I and many others like ankit360 have personally tested that. So please have a look.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Krazy and ankit360
I'll look these xip tonight. Thanks for the files. When i have a solution i'll post here.

Hi Krazy
I saw the xips. Problem appear to be missing files on xip. Both lomlom and the stock rom that ankit360 and you upload missing some files (*.rgu especificaly). I guess these ROM are protected.
To make this kitchen, I used an official rom from HTC (wm6.0 for old gene) as basis. So for the new genes I need an original xip (wm6.0) to port to new build and send to you for test.
If you or anyone have this ROM please upload to me.
Sorry 4 my english.

---

Here is the XIP you needed!
Hey Ramersonw,
Thats great! I am attaching herewith the XIP and BootXIP from Windows Mobile 6 ROM that comes with P3400i in Asia, India, ie. My Phone I think that will suffice for your needs.
hoping to see ya soon

Hi people,
Sorry for the lack of updates because I'm travelling. When I arrive I'll test more the kitchen and try to correct the errors (for new genes).
Again, this kitchen only works for the old Gene (for now). OBS. Tested on my device (HT7xx).

I tested on my device and the generated rom works very well.
The rom generated for my kitchen only have os.nb and extrom.nb, if any error occur and your device don't boot you only need to flash another cooked rom or the official rom without ipl/spl/radio.
