ExtROM self cooking... - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I would like to investigate on the actual ExtROM contents and also on others available around.
I was used to use ER2003Edit which I know it's at the moment not prepared to handle Blue Angel's ROMs...
Is there any other way, not having the chance to use a Linux PC as suggested elsewhere within the forum ?
It would be enough for me to be able to find a ROM file explorer and/or a ROM file "expander/decrypter".
Any hint ?
Thanks a lot.
Actually "working on" a VODAFONE ITA Blue Angel...
Merry Christmas to everyone.

ROM Kitchens

Are there any ROM Kitchens for the SX66 like the old LumpiStefan's kitchen?
His kitchen lets you pick and choose from a list the ROM's and programs to install, then it creates a flashable .exe file? That was the greatest site for the XDAI. Here is the link for reference:
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
Most of what you are looking for is on wiki.
The new tool that will let you create a nbf out of cabs to flash your device with the upgrade tool is im alpha stage. It can open both Type I (oldtool) and Type II roms, extract and inport cabs out of a nbf. Also you can save all type II roms as type I. Needless to say you can perform the same funtions as the old tool as well as extract the splash screens out of the ndf.
Before anybody asks the answere is NO as it wouod gerate to many questions and hinder the programmer, he has a day job
Edit Got d and b mixed up in nbf, changed text.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm not a programmer but have done rom upgrades for older devices like XDAI. I was looking for a non programmers version of a ROM kitchen like the link I posted. This one made it simple for
Do you know of one for the SX66?
Thanks, Joe
I agree its a cool site for non programers!
Wiki is all that I know of.
MDAIIIUser
Yes, as a non programmer this site was incredible for the XDAI.
Even for a programmer, imagine checking the box for each component you
wanted to load into ROM. These ROMs are very stable and packed with features.
If you or any other members want to create the ULTIMATE kitchen for the Blue Angel devices, this would be a great format.
Ayway, thanks for your posts, help and advice. It is greatly appreciated.
Building the tool is not that hard...but maintaining it...could be a day task (including helping people etc).
You need to regularly upgrade the page with the latest versions, and people always want stuff that is not on there...lots of work.
I am not sure if anyone around here has that amount of time and interest in doing so...

please how to replase whit noid
i assume by that you mean, you want to downgrade your device to the shipped rom, but probably can't because your device is WWE now, right click the downloaded package and with 7zip, winrar or any comparable programs installed on your pc you can unpack it and then copy the maupgrade to that folder and run it in combination with the bootloader mode.
i guess that is what you asked for. if not, please re-post and next time you want to ask a question, please do this in the question and answers section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3950823) and please post a little more information, people can hardly help you if you don't give them enough information to work with. if your english is not very good, try and use google translate.

Dumped ROM files uploaded

Wasn't sure where to post this so I thought here was as good a place as any
Been reading around the forums for a while but first time contributing, just got myself a Trinity for personal use, been using TyTN and QTEK 9100 at work for a while now.
Vodafone HTC P3600 (VPA Compact GPS) WWE ROM just uploaded in RAW format. I'm going to have a play around extracting files from the imgfs to create a ROM image maybe, as there doesn't appear to be an official Vodafone ROM on here that I've noticed so far (be sure to correct me if I'm wrong).
Trinity WIKI Edited to add link to DumpedRoms page and to create the DumpedRoms page.
Edit: OK, so I've followed through the instructions for reconstructing an nbh file from a dumped rom and created an nbh file for Vodafone, including the original IPL and SPL and Vodafone ExtROM. Uploaded this to FTP site here if a more experience chef would be willing to examine/test this ROM I'd appreciate it. I did use OS Checker on the OS_nb file before baking it so in theory at least it should be fine. I don't have hard SPL on my Trinity yet, having just got it today I don't really want to play around with it before I know there is a safe way of returning it to Manufacturers standard (hence me experimenting with cooking this rom). Hope it works *fingers crossed*
Cheers
Craig
Again, if I've missed something in my searching please correct me, but I've just noticed that in the TomTom CD that came with my Trinity there are official HTC ROM installers for most languages of v1.23.405.2 with GPS enabled (Windows Mobile 5)
Does anyone want me to upload these to the FTP site, or are they available somewhere on the site already?
Hi CraigMC
Do you have a french version on your cd ???
If yes, i'm interested...
Thanks
i do indeed

Cooking Roms, Need your kindly help

Hello all.
Since English is not my native language and I'm some sort of new and not familiar here, I may need your help.
Bought X1 last week, after trying some nice guys' rom in xda, I'm wondering if I could able to cook my own rom, I mean to customize my system. I was wondering if I could ripped those things come along with offcial rom but not need, and those things I needed but some really good guys' roms don't have.
So, I am thinking of cooking a rom for what I need, can modify system file it self, such like, rip out "Block Recognizer" and replace it with "PlumSIP" (A really nice Chinese input method), just for example.
And in 2003Se I know some external softwares can be customize installed by extrom, I found out WM6.1 seemed used a special way, like build into a single image file...
Well, generally speaking, I am hoping someone could help me, to show me some tutorial to read and do myself.
Thanks a lot.
PS:Have downloaded kitchen pack, but don't know what all of those soft. would do... For now, I just know how to decomplie an offcial rom in to nb files..
I would also like some info on cooking. I have searched and read a lot on this site but I'm no closer to getting anywhere. I tried to follow the instructions to backup my ROM as they are very easy to follow, but it didnt work.
Does anyone cook with Vista?
What kitchen programs are out there?
Do you have to have a specific kitchen program for each model of phone?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448809&highlight=kitchens but its outdated

X1 got its kitchen app pak, check this:
ftp://x1:[email protected]/XperiaX1/TOOLs/KovskyKitchen.zip
for now I am trying to figue out each module's really would do....
Try jerpleas kitchen in the sticky at the top to start out with. It'll give you the basic kitchen with which you can build a working rom (and simple customization)
Then search for ervius multilang gui for bepes tools (i've linked to it a few times now in this forum).
That's the best I've seen so far, you can dump a stock rom using it and start adding from there.
Cheers dude, i appreciate that :thumbs up:

that may help, thanks. but i'm still looking for tutorials for how to modify dumped rom files to fulfill my own needed.
The only advice i can give is to search search search... There was a large area of trial and error when i cooked my first rom. Some tutorials worked some didn't and its like a combo of everything that will get u going.
IMHO; ervius has the better kitchen, but not for beginners
I agree with Fards: your best bet is to start with the sticky posted one and get used to the basic cooking process on a first place
i think so too. use sticky.
to get feeling for cooking its not needed to read the "X1-TUTORIAL".
check tutorials for diamond, ralphi, hermes and kaiser ... than you will get some aha-effects and you will see some identical rules for syntax and how-tos for cooking with this sticky kitchen.
normaly its not realy possible to make a tutorial for every pda-type cause ...
i dont know why but its o.k., if i look to me i see me dont like reading but more not writing anything ...

good idea, you've pointed me a way.
but i wonder if that is something different from x1 to those diamond, kaiser, raphel blah blah blah...
if you need more petrol for starting i can say only "begin now".
its not realy the same but its realy realy realy near the same.

[help] What means kitchen and ROM?

I'm really new to this and everywhere it says: ROMs and Kitchen and also ROM Kitchen and I can never find what a kitchen really is. If search Kitchen I find all these kitchen files which people created, but is it something where you flash your mobile with? Like my Xperia I flashed from version 1 to version 2 (RCAA2 or something).
But I don't know all these terms and maybe they are so easy that if you don't know it you can't find it anywhere. For example when I want to download WinMO 6.5 it says: Kitchen and ROM, but I don't know the difference and just wanted to flash my mobile (which is rather easy i thought)
So can someone tell me the difference?
in the kitchen developers cook the rom's
a rom is the program you flash to your phone to update it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kovsky&redirectfrom=HTC_Venus
a rom is more a image that you flash to your device than a program
kitchen is the programm you need to cook a rom...
to cook a rom mean to create your own image for your device
Ah I see, thanks for the answers. I just updated mine to WM 6.5 looks good, but as my endless GPRS is starting in may I know still want to use NoData, which is not working, so i'm going back to generic.
Thanks for the answers I know have more of an idea of the meanings
