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.

There's a development kit somewhere around here that allows you to cook your own ROMs. I haven't played with it, though.
Hi Cookers,
I'm trying to cook my first ROM, but I'm not able to cook in Co0kies Home Tab 1.8.5, CHTEditor 1.8.5.1 & Language Pack R2.
The facts:
Kitchen: OsKitchen Zero 1.31
Imported ROM: Stock GER 1.66.407.1
First i changed NetCF to NetCF 3.5 - no problems
After that I imported the three cabs under "Import a new EXT Package", adjusted the app.dat and app.reg to the German menu structure and deleted the ManilaFull.xml. Everything else is close to stock.
The flashing progress is going fine but there is no Co0kies Home Tab installed and the CHTEditor Menu is not activated.
I can find all files in the explorer but when I try to start CHTEditor it stops with a message "Version mismatch".
I have also tried to import the packages as OEM Packages (Cab2OEM) with the same result!
I have searched the whole forum for troubleshooting, but cannot find anything that helps.
I hope anyone can help (I think so,finally there are Custom ROMs with CHT1.8.5) and give me an exact instruction to solve this problems?!
Thanks in advance
SBF
It's me again!
No one can help?
It seems a good solution to post everything in this Q&A thread, on the second day the post is on the 4th side and no one is reading it!
It would be better if every forum, e.g. Rom Development or Themes & Apps, has its own thread for questions. So the questions would be clearly represented!
Regards
SBF

an even better solution would be to ask in Chef Central.
I cooked CHT and CHTE in fine, but i'm no chef so i cant help you debug whats going wrong.
