hiho,
i made an easy to use romcooking tool (i use it for moding my favorit roms )
its still alpha but if someone like to test it. ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!
because its written in C# and you can easyliy work with diffrent roms @ same time
just select an *nbf and this tool dumps it into a folder beside this file
i.e. no need for winhex(initflashfiles.dat) and default.rgu are save in the correct format automaticly
for simply add/remove files and/or regtweaks everthing is included
the scripts based on Molski's kitchen updated with bigstorage imagetools
the main app is the neokit.exe
have fun
inteks

inteks
ps:
ist finally fixed that neokit can run from "long" pathnames. it can now run from i.e. "c:\program files\.... .....\neokit"
the setup will add the filetyp ".nbf" to registry. you can edit rom bei dubbleclick now ;-)
update version a070:
ok. beside some other fixes and optimations the most interesting new feature is the "comparer" button on the 'Files' tab!
you can select an other rom and neotab hides all files included in both roms!!!
in other words.
select a "reference" rom i.e. micro V3 as smallest but working rom and neokit hides all files that are "needed" !!!
you can edit/remove the files that are not really needed ;-)
update version a061:
Fileinfos(comments) are included in fulltextsearch now ;-)
update version a060:

update version a050:
biggest new feature is automated dumping and building of extension.rom

added a treeview for packages
update version a034:
fixed a bug when option.xml is not unicode.
and i've added a ceipui.exe for WM6.1
if you remove this file you get an error messsage on boot. so i compiled a replacement that does absolutly nothing
update version a033:
added a fulltextsearch on the "files" tab ;-)
update version a032:

on the filetab in the contextmenu you can "add comments" for everyfile
this comments saved as Filename+txt AND they are shown as tooltip AND they are on every dump you work on AND they are shareable !!!
I.E. -> if you know a file cant be removed because your neo dont boot without that file, add comment and share your comments here ;-)
update version a020:
new pic preview with thumbs
on the fly UPX compresion
removing with contextmenu now to prevent removing by mistake / removed items are red
screen -> http://m8z.de/screen.a020.PNG

ok. here is a new version with some really nize features ;-)
->winimage is included and there is a new button to edit extrom
->reshacker is included, on the fileTab in contextmenu you can open every file directly with reshacker !!!
if you edit resources with reshacker click "save" in reshacker then close reshacker.
neokit will "wait" till you exit reshacker and then it moves the *_original.* file to "ReshackerBackups" .
i also added "reversmode.exe" to edit the resources of "moduls" BUT NOT ALL DLL/EXE WORK AFTER CONVERSION MODUL->DLL->MODUL
if such a Modul not work try using the DLL file instead.
btw. its a multipart rar renamed to .zip
update version a006:
found and fixed this bug:
"Could not open input file '80040000-OS.nb'. Aborting."
it occurs on "long" filenames in path to nk.nbf. sorry for the circumstances
update version a005:
if you use an extendedRom you can put your tools into the extrom folder. on the initflashfiles tab click createstartmenuentry to create a linkfile to your tool
neokit reads the name of your "should be unlocked" extrom out of default.rgu ;-)
sample:
i put my neotab.exe in my extrom called "xFlash"
then neokit create a linkfile like 20#"\xFlash\neotab.exe" and an entry like Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("neotab","\Windows\neotab")
(you still have to build and translate the extension.nb for yourself !!!)
some bugfixes
update version a004:
runtimeerror on filestab fixed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66063&d=1200406481

you can manually add file to the dump directory BUT
since bigstorage is possible it doesnt make sense to ADD files then to REMOVE files !!!
everything in ROM cant be deinstalled later !!!!!!
i for myself do the following -> i remove files, flash, if it doesnt work i put them back and try again ;-)
Okay this looks brilliant.
I've got as far as dumping a rom, building it.
When I come to the nb2nbf dialog box I get stuck. I have no idea what values to enter in the boxes! Please help, thanks.
I saved this from another thread, if this is what you need:
ModelID - PM300
Lang - WWE
OEM v. - any
operator v. - any
CID- clear
StartAddres - 80040000
ImageName - OS

Thanks. If I don't include anything for the Extension rom, is that just wasted space on the device? Can I build a rom with no Extension?

So, you wanna cook a rom but don't know where to start??? Is the Raphael Kitchen & PPCKitchen to complicated? Are you only interested in changing a few graphics, or removing programs from a rom that you don't use?
Well, then this thread is for you. This info is also good for chefs with existing builds that want to make quick changes to OEM packages & keep their rom up to date with the latest apps & packages.
Firstly, I need everyone to say a big thank you to Bepe, Tolstoy at PPCGeeks, Bot, Kyphur, Oli, Pof, Cmonex, & a big thank you to qsqa!!!
This lite kitchen will allow you to make changes easily to all stock roms & even to cooked roms, if your chef is kind & confident enough to create a version that includes all of the rgu & dsm files. Have a paticular rom you like & only wish to change a few items? Ask your favorite chef to get with the spirit of XDA-Developers & to create an easybake compliant rom! Just like qsqa did!!!
I will also be releasing a rom, light & very empty for all of you wishing to have a rom that is suited best for the person that has to use it, YOU!
I will be including guides, tools, suggestions, roms & all the things necesarry to create your very own customized rom, both easily & based on a good solid stable build.
This is an easy five step process that allows you to make any unprotected rom your own & the tools & methods have been only slightly adapted by me from a nice guide prepared by Tolstoy aimed at CDMA devices.
First Things First - Preparing for your easybake experience!
Download the attached Raph_Blank_Kitchen at the bottom of post #1 or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/174704051/RAPH_blank_kitchen.rar Uncompress/extract the Raph_Blank_Kitchen to your C: drive.
Find & download any OEM shipped/extracted or easybake compliant unprotected rom such as that I will release shortly, or from qsqa, i.e. PROven 1.08
After Extracting your new Raph Easybake Kitchen you will find a folder in C: named Raph_Blank_Kitchen. Within this directory you will find several more folders:
1: OEMizer - a tool to help you create oem packages, registry tweaks or provisioning xml's.
2: RUU - This folder is the output folder where you will find your rom completed & ready for flashing after an easy 5-step baking process.
3: Tools - This folder contains everything you need to cook a rom, change the page pool, etc...
Within the root directory, you will also find the following files/programs:
1: PrepIt.bat - This script deconstructs any Rom, seperating it into OEM, SYS, & ROM folders, placing the modules & files in their appropriate place for cooking. After running Prepit.bat you will see 3 new folders inside your kitchen, OEM, ROM & SYS.
A. OEM - This is the directory in the kitchen that you will copy your OEM packages into to add programs to your rom. You can also delete packages included by other easybake friendly roms.
B.SYS - This is the similar to the OEM in that you can delete packages from the donor rom, changing packages here will require the use of G'Reloc & possibly RebuildDSM or BuildDSM. Deletion of packages however is easy.
C: ROM - You won't do anything with this folder at this point in your chefdom, but this is where the OS & XIP meet.
2: G'Reloc.exe - This will relocate modules that you have altered.
3: BuildOS.exe - This builds the operating system portion. It combines the OEM's and System files.
4: BuildIt.bat - This script builds your rom. It will Package everything together and copies your new rom to the RUU directory.
Now you got it all set up!!! So, How easy is it???
Try 5 easy steps!!!
Yep!!! Five steps to your own cleaner customized rom:
1- PrepIt.bat
2- Add/Remove OEM Packages/Tweaks/Files
3- BuildOS
4- BuildIt.bat
5- Flash your newly customized Rom
Other important info:
So, now you have extracted the Kitchen to the C: drive, copied the base rom (.NBH file)
Step Details:
Step #1: Deconstructing your base rom
Run PrepIt.bat - Just double click on the file named PrepIt.bat, or run it from the CMD Prompt. This will again seperate the nb content from the nbh, split the nb content into the IMGFS & XIP Content, & Dump the Imgfs into the appropriate SYS or OEM Folder. This step also renames your donor rom to Input.nbh.
Step #2: Adding or Removing OEM & SYS Packages
Addng programs, registry tweaks, or provisioning xml's is as easy as copying the oem package into the OEM folder. Nothing to it! Oem packages can be made or downloaded from numerous sources.
ADD PROGRAMS- simply drag your OEM from the right PPCGEEKS_OEM directory and drop it into the c:\kitchen\OEM folder
Removing Items can be a little bit tricky. Use common sense here. Look for packages named after whatever you want removed & delete them. Most anything in an OEM folder can be removed with little consequence, some thing in the SYS folder you don't want to mess with though. Take a look, look for the name of what you want gone & if its a simple program like Total Commander for instance, just delete the appropriate folder & it will be gone.
Step #3: BuildOS.exe
Just click the BuildOS.exe BuildOS will then build a new OS while adding/removing the OEM packages that you either added or deleted in step two. Clicking BuildOS.exe will bring up a new window, That is the BuildOS program. In the window you should see most of the OEMS that you added. Make sure you check mark the OEM Packages that you have added. Once you are sure you have selected all the programs you want added to the rom, click that green arrow in the upper left of the window. This will create the OS. You will see the green progress bar to the bottom right.
BuildOS will say DONE in the bottom status area when complete.
There are a few things that can go wrong, but the most common is duplicate packages. Make sure your not adding a duplicate package to the rom & you should be okay.
Step #4: BuildIt.bat
This step will go thru the process of reconstructing the newly moddified rom back into the .nb & then the .nbh flashable format. If all went well, you'll have a new RUU_Signed.nbh in the RUU folder directory.
Step #5: Flash your new ROM
In the RUU folder you will find your new rom & the tools needed to flash it. Just click the ROMUpdateUtility.exe & it will flash your new rom.
Changing the Pagepool...
Now that your rom is complete, you may want to change the pagepool. Again, I have included everything you need to accomplish this in the Tools folder.
Step 1: Open the XVI32 folder & launch xvi32. Open the newly created rom in the RUU folder named RUU_Signed.nbh or drag & drop it to the XVI32 folder. In XVI32, use the search function. Select the bubble that says "Hex" & search for this hex string: 03 15 A0 03 02 15 A0 13 00 10 82 E5
Change the last four numbers to 00 00 A0 E1
Then press F3 on your keyboard or search for the Hex string: 03 15 A0 03 02 15 A0 13 00 10 82 E5 once again & again change the last four digits to 00 00 A0 E1.
The page pool is now NOP & can be opened & set to whatever number you like using the pagepool changer I've included in the Tools folder.

Coming Soon!
Other Useful & Important Tools
There are several tools that make customizing roms fun, fast & best of all...FREE. Of course there are other tools that cost money that are recommended, but let's see what we can come up with as for suggestions of free or low cost software for customizing roms. Where available & as time permits I will upload all of the tools &/or give links to the developers website along with basic instructions for making their use easy & frustration free!
A few of the must haves are as follows:
1. CERegistryEditor - This is an amazing tool that allows you to make registry changes on your device via activesync, export registry setting, unlock your registry, etc... This tool will also work with all registry formats including .reg, .rgu & most importantly .hv registry hives can be edited directly. This tool is amazing & very powerful as it allows you to export values as .rgu files that can then bee made into registry tweak OEM packages with the already included OEMizer or made into provisioning xml's using the famed rgu2xml tool in conjucntion with the OEMizer.
Coming soon: Tips & examples on using this tool to create registry & provxml packages.
2. EditPad Lite - EditPad Lite is a free version of EditPad Pro & is simply the BEST free text editor around period. EditPad will allow you to directly read & modify many important file such as initflash.dat. This allows you to remove or add things to your rom such as Folders, Start Menu items, etc... You can also use it to modify .rgu files, .reg files, .lnk shorcuts & many more.
Coming soon: Tips & examples on using this tool to modify many things in your rom.
3. Gimp - This is an amazing & most importantly free, graphic editing tool that handles numerous image file types. This can be used to edit, modify or change images to suit your own tastes. Items such as Dialer & Dial Pad Graphics & colors can easily be modified with gimp. Icons & folder icons, such as .ico files can also be edited allowing you to customize your folder icons when used in cojunction with PEexplorer, Gconvert, or Resource Tuner. Simply put, Gimp is a necesarry tool of great value when it comes to modifying or even creating new or existing graphics & images.
Coming soon: Tips & examples on using this tool to modify many things in your rom. Including an overview of some of the greatest & most overlooked features included in this tool.

This Cooking device [kitchen] will not work with the new [ROM][DUTCH][28-12-2008] M-Rom v1.3 (XIP/SYS build 20931) 'unprotected' from merten3000.
Thanks for this thread and info. I want to begin cooking ROMs and was not sure where to start but now I do.
I would like to use the latest AT&T ROM for my build. How can one make it unprotected so it can be used in your kitchen?
I have the Sprint version of the HTC Touch and I would like to start cooking my own ROMs but I am having a hard time finding the Base ROM to Start cooking, (the ???.nbh file). If someone could guide me as to where I can get one of these file I would appreciate it. Is this something I can pull from my phone and if so what is the name of the file. Thanks

5. Unbricking
5.1) Gold Card
Since there is no wikipage about this, I'll quickly discribe how you can do this
1] Requirements:
- A working WM Device (used to obtain the microSD card's ID)
- The shipped stock rom your phone came with (Shipped Roms for HTC Touch Diamond 2)
- Qmat (Latest version of Qmat)
2] Format your SD card into FAT32:
- go into dos and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
3] Run Qmat to create a gold card:
- Put the formatted microSD card in the working WM device and connect via ActiveSync
- Run Qmat, Go to Hardware Forensics and select 'Generate HTC Goldcard'
- Select your bricked device's key
- Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
- Save the Goldcard image to the SD Card
Now you have a SuperCID which allows you to flash any shipped ROM
4] Go into the bootloader with inserted goldcard and run the .exe from the Shipped rom
5.2) If all else fails, you can PM Cmonex she will make one for you
But perhaps, It's better if you first try yourself?
6. Dumping a ROM
This is basicly a backup of your ROM, Note that this does not backup any personal information on the phone
6.1) Dump Rom
7. CID Unlock your phone
This will allow you to flash ANY ROM with a different CID on your phone (e.g. Custom ROM)
7.1) HARDSPL, CID Unlock with overwrite protection
In this topic you also see how to remove the CID lock (if you want to send the phone back...)
Before you take any further steps, Please confirm that your device now has a HARDSPL, by going into the bootloader,
Then check the SPL it should say "1.33.OliNex"
7.2) Security Unlock
This is a security unlock tool that will remove the CID & SIM lock on your device
8. SIM Unlock your phone
8.1) Free SIM Unlocker for contributing XDA members
8.2) Commercial SIM Unlocker 1
8.3) Commercial SIM Unlocker 2
9. Availble ROMS, Radios, SPL's
9.1) Shipped Roms
9.2) Custom Roms

Ah right. I wasn't sure, and thought there would be a lower risk of damaging devices if it wasn't there...
The newer unlocks (Diamond, Raphael etc) all flash a new radio to the device, which if using the wrong device/radio could break things.

I have a permanent problem with all 6.5 versions and it's really weird.All 6.5 roms work very well when memory card is not inserted...but when I turn my Topaz off and insert the memory card. Albums/Camera/Music Player/File explorer and all concerning memory card freeze when I use them.
That is, when I try to launch Album for pictures on memory card, it freezes...same with Camera.....
I changed memory card, formatted with FAT32...but all in vain
I have no such problem with 6.1 roms
Any comments?

16/05 First release:Porting HD2 WP7 rom to NoDo (see 2nd post)
New theme with transparency I've called Aero
HTC Hidden Wi-Fi works since I've updated some OEM packages. To have a wifi mac adress which don't change at reboot try to set it in the nvram.txt file (see my second post)
Rom is unlocked and prevented to relock.
A video demonstration: Youtube_WP7_NoDo_ROM_HD2 (thanks Jaxbot)
05/06 Update:Green key is now hard remaped, I've chosen the function of bluetooth Headset: Play/Pause multimedia, Skip by pressing twice, Answer a call (when receiving), End call, (when in call), long press to rapidly call someone by speech input.
Replaced camera button by a software button with autofocus like on Androïd so no more blur.
Radio is working without the need of headphones.
Added keyboards layout for some other countries and added some cool features. More layouts to come soon.
Improve performances, localisation (assisted gps - agps), Bluetooth, battery consumption. (mine is between 3 and 6 mA)
Solving of certains difficulties to establish a link with some Wi-Fi routers.
Smooth gradients (no more 16bit banding bug) without lost of performances.
Backlight adjusted and set to never by default (work have to be done)
Changed volume settings and added a sound template to make it more clear.
Replaced all Microsoft and OEM wallpapers by transparent png, so a total of 41.
08/06 Update:Replaced all overlaped modules of the 7392 base rom, so improve about everythingSpeech recognition (long press Win key and Call contact Green key) works for every languages
13/06 Update + 16/06 minor Update:Added direct access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in start menu and home tiles.
Added direct acces to Airplane mode and Brightness (16/06)
Update of the HTC RIL manager module and added the last HTC Connection Setup for autodata config at boot.
Added keyboard layouts but there is a limitation of 20 keyboards so I split the rom in 2.
Added some other long press on keyboards layout ie w->www. f->ftp://ftp. (16/06)
23/06 + 26/06 Update:Rom is rooted now (first WP7 rooted rom)
Optimisation of the policy database for root access (+live games fix) (26/06)
Added direct acces to Cellular and Location
Added direct acces to Sound and Lock and changed all icons added to real metro theme (26/06)Added 2 extra themes (Aero variations with transparency): Aero Black and Aero RichThe Rom Files: v5_lang1 and v5_lang2 - These are the roms, no language pack!!! see below
Rom is split in two versions with differents keyboards layouts
In both: Spanish, French/Canada/Swiss, German, English US/UK, Italia

Tutorial to port sys (update to NoDo)
Ok guys, I don’t know why DFT haven’t release an update for HD2 earlier since it take only few days to a noob to achieve a working NoDo rom. Their first version was built on a test rom with developer’s certificates from Microsoft and HTC, debug tools, recompiled drivers for HD2 and a method to build SLDR and NK sections. They had before everybody a test version of Mango too. So I suppose they, or only one, is working for HTC or has good contacts and perhaps had a commercial interest or was more interested by the exploit than giving users a great experience of WP7 on HD2, updates as soon as it’s possible and tools/knowledge to members like ervius, AnDim, Nokser etc. to achieve that by themselves. Someone in another post suggest an agreement not to release their mango before the 24th, it’s quite possible. But I don’t know and I don’t blame, it’s life lol
Perhaps we’ll see a version of Mango for HD2 soon (and new exiting videos^^’) but since a lot of people are waiting for NoDo (some desperate posts made me cry XD) I’ll give you a first version, and better, the method to achieve that by yourself for the next coming.
!The trip isn’t how to flash an HD7 rom on HD2 like certain people seems to believe and we don’t need a new malgr for the moment!

DFT rom and DWI by by bepe and Cotulla
A rom with 7392 SYS like RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.32.111.01_5.65.09.25_22.45.50_ RELEASE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065281 (MOZART is not important for SYS parts)
Some extra roms for updated other SYS languages
A rom with latests HTC packages to have the possibility of stuff like Hidden Wi-Fi like RUU_Schubert_O2_DE_3.04.207.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_2 2.48.50.21 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037967
Optional:
A rom for a new radio, this one seems to be the latest too
A rom for developpers tools and kitl like RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_TEST
Roms for OEM APPS stuff that you want
A good HEX editor and a file/directories comparator may help a lot
Just a little time and patience lol
PS: open roms with an archive tool like 7-Zip and take the RUU_signed.nbh file, we only need this.
1. A new radio: (optional)
The radio is the part00.bin in the Data.zip
With HTCrie open the nbh which contains the radio you want, select GSM and extract the GSM.nb
Open it with an hex editor and search for 7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 61, it’s the beginning of the part we need. The end is the series of 00 just after the last AMSS string you can find (refer to DFT part00.bin if you need help).
Keep only this section (delete the rest) and add some 00, for example if the files ends at the byte e004d0h go to e004ff.
Save the file, rename it part00.bin, you’ll have your new radio (in this case 5.66.09.21a).
Replace it in the Data.zip, you can flash now with DWI to test it.
You’ll show the new version in the Settings/About of WP7.
2. Change The SYS by 7392 Step 1: Common packages
With HTCrie open the nbh which contains the 7392 SYS build (or another you want), extend OS/IMGFS and select SYS. Extract it to a folder.
Do the same for other rom(s) containing extra languages in another folder.
Add the extra *_LANG_0XXX packages from the second directory to the first, after that you can delete it (the second folder lol, if only English was my native language^^).
You can use NabSync and NabSync_Lang_0XXX packages or not, if not delete them, just remember you’ll not need to add MOS entries in default.hv in this case.
Put the metadata package in another place, we’ll use it in step 2.
Put the content of all other packages in a new folder (for ex called IMGFS), with HTCRIE open the same 7392 rom, extend OS and in IMGFS content select .ROM and .VM modules, extract them in your IMGFS folder.
It’s your new SYS.
You could past/overwrite it in DFT IMGFS and build the rom now it will function (the DFT video of March) and YES it’s as simple as that, you’ll have new stuff from NoDo like copy/paste but not the possibility of Hidden Wi-Fi since it depend of OEM packages.
PS: It’s possible since there isn’t many changes in NK and SLDR sections made by NoDo, so we can use like that. dsm files are not very important (just to have good references of packages) and rgu content is added in default.hv
Modules that need to be updated are:
NK: cachefilt.dll, hd.dll and osaxst0.dll
SLDR: exfat.dll, filesys.dll, k.coredll.dll, k.fatutil.dll, kernel.dll, mtpuldrsvc.dll, pm.dll, sdbus.dll, sdmemory.dll and unifiedblock.dll
3. Change The SYS by 7392 Step 2: metadata package
With HTCrie extract the metadata package of the SHUBERT rom which contains OEM that you need, so we have to play with 3 metadata packages: DFT, SHUBERT OEM, MOZART SYS.
It could be a little simpler if we have a 7392 rom for SHUBERT but not for the moment.
Some files need to be updated, first is BasePolicy.xml, compare the new content of MOZART with DFT one, same for SCHUBERT (replace C:\WM700\release\LEO and C:\WM700_7392\release\MOZART by C:\WM700_7392\release\SCHUBERT). If you find new entries and you judge them useful (refer to dsm and find the package) then add them in MOZART one (it’s the most important for SYS).
Second is DefaultCerts.dat, these files contain certificates. In hex each one begin with 30 82 ?? ?? 30 82 so you can cut this file in x parts, one for each certificate.
The common build is Microsoft root, oem roots, Microsoft Windows Mobile PCA0, oem, Microsoft Mobile Device Unprivileged PCA0.
We’ll keep DFT one as bas as it’s include Qualcomm infrastructure development, Microsoft Corporation CE Image Update Test and HTC_Develop_Test, useful for later (we never know^^). DFT has included HTC_Develop_Test twice (like in dsm beside Microsoft Corporation CE Image Update Test) so you can remove the second.
What you need is to take DefaultCerts.dat from other metadata packages, extract OEM 168 or/and OEM 169 (personally I’ve included both from other roms so I’ll never have to touch this file again) and insert oem/oem root certificates in DFT one.
packages.cif and packages.sof are certainly updated but you can edit them with Imageinfo.bin, packages.cif/sof Tool.
Compare the imginf.txt you obtain for each roms you use (you can sort this file to make it more simple).
Like with BasePolicy.xml, if there is an entry that you judge useful, just add it in packages.cif and .sof (refer to this tool’s post in forum to know how use it well, but it’s quite simple).
The last two files but more important are default.hv and user.hv
To edit them just drag them onto HVEdit.exe by AnDim, you’ll obtain default.hvm and user.hvm which can be edited like rgu files.
To rebuild hv just drag hvm onto HVEdit.exe
I suggest keep the 7392 ones as base, compare them with DFT originals and modify entries you want.
For some you need a little knowledge (refer to forum) but for most it’s language entries and some tweaks.
You can refer to rgu files which differ and take a look at NoDo and 7392 pku to know which files/rgu are concerned (see forum to know how obtain pku for each zune update and extract them but don’t use files as they are in your build since most of them are not suitable (except dsm), they only contain information to update files/modules)
You can add for exemple your LiveID useful for HD2 users:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
"ActivationCode"="77777-77777-77777-77777-77777"
Copy the content of the new metadata package in your IMGFS folder. Now you have a fully functional SYS that you can use instead DFT one Let see OEM packages.
4. Change OEM packages Step 1: common packages
With HTCrie extract in two folders (like for SYS before) the OEM packages, one for DFT (for most you’ll find them at the wrong place: in SYS - like for most of TEST roms you can find) the other for the rom with most updated HTC packages.
You don’t need HTC_8x50_OS_UI_LEO as we replace it by HTC_8x50_OS_UI_SCHUBERT
You don’t need StartKitl and kitl.dll from DFT as it’s debug tool (we’ll see later) and HTC_CSPOSDrivers is new stuff so don’t search it in DFT rom.
Other packages which can be used without modification beside HTC_CSPOSDrivers are CSConn_DB, HTC_Global_Customization, OEM_8x50_BLDR, OEM_8x50_BSP, OEM_8x50_LOGO, OEM_8x50_MODEM, QC_8x50_OS_MM_CFG_2 so just delete them like for HTC_8x50_OS_UI_LEO in DFT folder to see more clearly.
5. Change OEM packages Step 2: updated packages
Like I’ve said we could use DFT OEM packages as they are but we won’t have new stuff from HTC like Hidden Wi-Fi. So we have to update some modules.
We could update the most of them (certain drivers are HD2 specific) but since we can’t update NK/SLDR sections for now you’ll got some troubles (I’ll speak of that later).
So for each package we change all files,rgu and dsm but we have to keep some modules from DFT.
For HTC_AppDrivers and HTC_OSDrivers don’t keep anything (so delete them from DFT folder) but remove HTCConnectionSetUp.dll since it is in SLDR and have some dependencies so you’ve got some troubles to connect secure wifi networks.
For HTC_8x50_OS_UI_COMMON, OEM_8x50_OS, QC_8x50_OS_GPS, QC_8x50_OS_MMRIL overwrite all modules with DFT ones
For HTC_8x50_OS_WIRELESS overwrite all modules. wl_server_serial.dll and wlan_oem.dll were files, we need updated ones in modules from new oem package for HTC Hidden Wi-Fi, the other thing to do is to verify in default.hv that BtOem, RSS and WLANOEM entries are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\ sections like in new roms and not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ like DFT’s one (and never both) otherwise it won’t work.
For OEM_8x50_OS_CAMERA replace modules and add camerasettingsmanifest.0XXX.xml from DFT in new one (since these files are normally in SLDR in new roms we have to add them). Use DSM editor to edit c6158f86-ef71-4a8b-8c04-0cf57c158b2f.dsm and add entries for these files (refer to this tool’s post to know how use it but it’s easy too).
For OEM_8x50_OS_SURF replace all modules. But you don’t have to add Backlightmdd_htc_6541.dll, just be sure you have backlightmdd.dll instead in default.hv like in new roms.
For QC_8x50_OS replace modules. You have to delete windiag.dll or verify in default.hv that “dll”=”windiag.dll” is replaced by “dll”=”” like in new roms.
6. Change OEM packages Step 3: extra packages (optional)
HTC_OEMAPPS contain OEM software.
You can add from different roms and operators. Just add the *.xap and * _License.xml you want, edit mpap_HTC_MASD_01.provxml to add/have only entries for these files and use DSM editor to edit 47c557c0-08b2-493c-a380-08c72d78e3ba.dsm and update the list of files in this package.
operatorpkg contain the HTC or Operator personalization files. Like for OEMAPPS, keep/add what you want from different roms, Email accounts/providers, Browser favorites are useful, MNS_Cust_xxx too, I’ve personally built a new theme with transparency called Aero, added the entries in the default.hv and add the 02XX*.xaml in this package.
A picture with transparency in png format for the lockscreen too.
After use DSM editor to edit 438abf0c-b691-4259-a742-1f224fa3b5ba.dsm like before.
You can add developer stuff/kitl and HTC tools packages too: AutoDeviceConfig, CommsDogfood, CoreOSDogfood, dogfoodDM, EtwChannelDefaultInternal, KitlShell, LoaderVerifierTestCerts, NetDrvVMINI, QC_8x50_OS_TEST, SensorView, SirepForPlatDev, StartKitl, TouchTools. GPSxxx from HTC_8x50_OS_WIRELESS.
Extract them from a test rom and add the content and entries in default.hv you find in rgu files.
HTC_TEST tools are xap files: DebugFlagEdit, GCFSettings, HTC BATTERY TOOL, HTCGPSTool, RegisterEdit, StopWatch, StressTool, USBModeSwitch. Refer you at the HTC_OEMAPPS explanations.
You have finished the job with OEM part, just extract the content of each of these packages in your IMGFS folder.
7. Wi-Fi problems: (optional)
Some people had some troubles with the old roms and wifi. In forum most were speaking about the SD-card but it didn’t solved the problem (and gone back to android^^).
It’s not the only problem. If you examine the file nvram.txt which is used to enable the built-in wifi chip there are some differences between files from DFT, HD2 3.14, SCHUBERT operators.
EDIT: macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55 in its file seems the place to put a mac adress for routers with some mac filters.
I list it below, so i use a mix from HD2. When I was using the original, I didn't reached secured networks, I had to remove battery for hours.
Code:
DFT: SCH:TMOUS/WWE/TIM/O2UK HD2 3.14: SCH:Orange + MOZ:O2UK

I suggest to modify this entries in default.hv too
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms
"11nModeDisable"=dword:0 ; Wifi n
"PowerSaveMode"=dword:0 ; 0: Best Performance 1: Best Batterry 2: Between
"IBSSMode"="0" ; set the connection type in an ad hoc network (b/g)
"LegacyPowerCycle"=dword:0 ; new rom entry
"FrameBursting"="1" ; communication protocol (higher data transfer throughput)
8. Build your rom:
All this process can be found in the forum for more explanations:
Rename the your IMGFS folder to dump (yes you could have done it at the beginning^^) with HTCrie open the part04.bin from DFT you find in Data.zip, select IMGFS and extract IMGFS.bin
With ImgfsFromDump recompile the new IMGFS, the command line is: ImgfsFromDump imgfs.bin imgfs-out.bin
With HTCrie replace the IMGFS in part4.bin: select IMGFS, click on add files, choose imgfs-out.bin, it take only few seconds.
Replace part04.bin in Data.zip by the new one and flash it with DWI, you’ve got it!
If you like my work, don’t pay me a beer, don’t thank me but just send as much “MISS U” as you want to +33 682732382 (France)
26/06 working great for me!
No issues other than the usual bugs!
To increase the speed, download Advanced Config Tool here: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=890 and then in the "tweaks' section, check 'Don't dehydrate apps on pause' and UNckeck 'Enable Wi-Fi 802.11n Mode' or wifi won't work. (may or may not work, try not to fiddle with the settings too much )
Mango next !!
** also reserved for future comments *** =D
oh man. what have u done!! ;-)
waiting for the link.
GOD!!!
U are the ONE!!!!
Waiting for your link...
waiting on link too.
btw what do you mean send "Miss U" to the number?
Hope this brings out others to provide custom WP7 roms.
Hi YukiXDA,
I don't think you are a "noob" by any stretch of imagination.
I must admit most of it is too intimidating for me to even think of attempting. so I will, like I'm sure a lot of other users, will be waiting patiently for you to upload the ROM.
If I understand the last part right - All I would need to do to update my phone to NoDo is flash your updated ROM using DWI, isn't it?
Not noob but I begun from scratch lol
Imagination and thinking it's possible without DFT tools and new malgr. I regret the fact that there isn't a groupware at xda to achieve such of things (and a way to update SLDR/NK) since some guys have a lot of knowledge here. I hadn't but I didn't understand and not like that we are all waiting DFT tools and release as they have it from several months. So I tried ^^
Yes I've put my Data.zip beside DWI, same way as before for now
Remeber it's a first test version, we need reports...
It's uploaded
@thebranded:
I hope It 'll encourage other people to develop more WP7 stuff on HD2 too.
The problem of updating XIP is for any phones not just ours. But new drivers for future updates yes.
"btw what do you mean send "Miss U" to the number? " -> Just send a sms with "MISS U" as text (for my private life^^)

this ROM
Hi,
I got an questions ?
1. How fast is this ROM ?
2. Is this ROM unlocked + prevented to lock again ?
3. Did you fix the green/yellow color after shot with flash ?
Thanks a for info and good work !
Hi all!
I want to present the tool which can port/rebuild XIP (NK) and build IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7 memory model.
It can also build NB (D000FF and WMSTORE containers) and NBH files for HTC WP7 devices (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7, HTC Mozart, HTC Radar, HTC Titan).
This thread is the continuation of OSBuilder for WM topic. The future discussion about WP7 ROM assembling by means of OsBuilder will take place over here
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973, lucifer3006) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!
Special thanks to HD2Owner for enthusiasm and his titanic work in testing WP7mode.
Thanks a lot to AnDim for his tenderness and important information provided.
Sincerely,
Barin and Ultrashot

To -=Barin=- and Ultrashot
Dear friends!
Thank you for all the help you have given me with my WP7 experience.
I especially appreciate the information and advices you have provided, and the excellent OsBuilder you have shared with me. Your assistance has been invaluable to me!
Again, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your generosity, willingness to help and friendship.
Regards
Andrew.
Changelog - OS Builder V1.3.187 FULL (03.11.2011)
1. Fixed issue with deleting a parameter defined in boot.rgu, if the removing directive was stored in other packages - the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18251257&postcount=564
The second step to full WP7 support
2. Relocation engine is totally redesigned. (Hats off to Ultrashot for valuable help with WP7 modules Z .reloc sections)
3. Added possibility of porting/rebuilding XIP (NK) and the assembling IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7memory model (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7 and HTC Mozart. Credit for tests goes to Feropont and HD2Owner)
I want to warn that the registry files have to be checked by registry preview, because there is a hell of syntax errors in the original registry. Frankly, it seems (IMHO) that first the registry was generated and then some comments for dumb and mistakes were added.
Registry Preview will define incorrect lines to help you to fix that. The most common errors are:
- Parameter name without the quotes
- The comments are not marked with a semicolon or marked with colon.
- HEX type values end with point (the last or the only parameter line)
- The value MULTI_SZ contains comments between the lines parameter
- Existence of Directives for conditional compilation IF ... END (it's not a mistake, but currently these directives are not processed, so you should label them as a comment)
4. The dsm-editor has now the feature to set/clear Z-flags for modules.
Warning! This flag is used for WP7 XIP modules only if the RW section of a module must be located within the boundaries of RAMStart-RAMFree (nk.exe, kernel.dll, kitl_noplat.dll and similar)
5. For WP7 - Added ability to edit the file MsDefaultcerts.dat (see Additional Tools)
6. For WP7- Added ability to edit files CoreOS.dat and initobj.dat (see Additional Tools)
7. Added ability to automatically insert a certificate which will sign files while assembling DefaultCerts.dat and MsDefaultCerts.dat (for WP7) - see the settings in Build Dump and ROM. The original files stay untouched.
8. XIP Port settings - added the list of additional MS packages (for WP7). When porting WP7 XIP, the packages specified in this list will be replaced with donor packages.
At the moment, we can safely add the following packages to this list:
BaseDrivers_NK
CCFGSVC
GFX_NK
KFPCRT
Watson_Core
WinCENLS
9. In Configuration and packages tab of Setting - added the option "Always include 0409packages." If your WP7kitchen allows the language selection, it is recommended to use this option enabled to include English-language packages by default to your ROM, otherwise there is risk to get non-bootable ROM.
10. Added - the ability to build NB files (! For the moment only D000FF container !, NB assembling for the new _wmstore structure devices is not supported yet) and NBH files for WP7
To build NB you should have the original NB and should define the way to it in Build ROM settings, for example ".\NB\OS.nb". Unfortunately, to get rid of the original NB is not yet possible, but the work is in process. Hats off to AnDim for help and information provided. NBH build configuration settings are similar to the previous version, except that the CID tab can contain multiple values (each value in a separate line)
Warning! If you plan to use for cooking WP7 dump obtained by earlier versions of OSBuilder, I would strongly recommend you to dump again, and to copy the new ROM template \ ROM.tpl to your kitchen. The new template will contain additional service information, which was not recorded in earlier versions of OSBuilder
11. OSBuilder is fully backward compatible with WM6.x kitchens, (it was a big deal btw, but it was implemented). When you open the kitchen OSBuilder automatically detects the required mode WM6/WP7.
This compatibility will remain for the future, but no new features for WM kitchens will be added. OSBuilder WM Kitchens Development is terminated due to the termination of WM6.5.x development from MS side.
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!

We do not distribute SYS here. We provide only the OsBuilder. For SYS and other device specific packages - ask in the rom topics from the rom developers.
Thanks for new version, I've dump HTC Titan rom and now trying to rebuilt.

Titan is the second generation device with another rom structure (_wmstore)
Only nk and imgfs partition files can be built for it, but not NB. Current version of OSBuilder supports D000FF NB container only, but not _wmstore/_wmpart
Dude you is a wonder. Thank you very much...

Thanks Barin, that's reason why I've an error . But nice, can begin to see registry, packages etc...
Thanks a billion Barin, as well as to his team mates.
Excellent work indeed! This is what I was waiting for, before I put my hands into WP7 on HD2.
Let me dig in and see whats under wp7 hood.
Thanks again...
Best Regards
Edit:
I just tried to dump and rebuild an WP7 ROM made for HD2.
* Dumped successfully
* Fixed the registry errors
* When building, I get "The given key was not present in the dictionary." No idea what it means but I haven't changed any files/folders.
* Disable Demand Paging is empty but no idea either were does those list of modules comes while building.
Any idea whats wrong am I doing?
Great work, thanks a bunch.

Don't worry 'bout the list - it appears only because OsBuilder detects correspondent flags assigned to these modules. About the mistake - not sure -better later Barin will explain it more correctly than me....

AndrewSh is absolutely rightt about modules with flag M in dsm
About error - no idea too. Just try to close OSbuilder and then open the kitchen again.
