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.

Hai everyone,
I would like to go and build a rom myself.
I've been reading the forum a lot, but still have no clue where to start.
I want to make a dutch rom based on the official HTC WM6.1 rom.
I would like to recieve some tips and tric on how to start making a rom.
I know how to dump a rom and how to reconstruct it.
Now i want to know what tools and programs i can use to modify the rom.
For example how to remove programs and how to add them..
So i able to make a start and go my way from there.
Needless to say i will release the rom on the forum as a return of favor
Hope someone will give me some tips on how to start.
哈哈.看不懂.你想做说什么啊?

yo,ma man..
thx..
I found 2 good rated methods here, first from dioxda & hma4. yesterday I've tried hma4 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350033 ) but didnt work. point 1 n 2,no problem but 3??I'm totally lost!!!
1.there's no extrom folder in update_package which I downloaded from 4shared (the original link is broken)
2. * select "File #2" then browse and select the os.nb you have downloaded. --->>>what does it mean??os.nb???where to download it?
Convert os.nb and extended_rom.nb to nk.nbf
* go to Update_Package\Create Nk.nbf and run nb2nbf.exe
* Change the Model ID from Wizard to : Prophet
* the CID filed must be empty!! But you can put any number for the OEM version.
* select "File #1" then browse and select the extended_rom.nb that you have created from step 3.
* Set the start address to 9B000000
* Type Extension Rom for image name (Extension Rom not Extended Rom)!!! Edit: you can also write Extension instead of Extension Rom.
* select "File #2" then browse and select the os.nb you have downloaded.
* Select OS from Image Name drop down box
* Select the location you want to save the output file (nk.nbf)
* Click on Translate button on the top right of the screen.
also, can ya tell me which one is the newest, best, easy & safe method to do this stuff?
it's really stresful if I have to read all the threads..
so,please help me..
or if you dont mind & have some time to help this poor bastard, please send me the method directly to my email..
reach me at [email protected]
thx a lot,bro..
You don't need to covert the ROM and extended That is old method
Is your prophet now hard spl did you follow that process with easy tools ?
Once your device is hard spl and it's working you can just flash any ROM to your device (any .nk rom that is )
Have you chosen a ROM that you would like to try first ?
