Help creating a WM 6.5 ROM - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi All,
I'm trying to cook my first ROM and would like it to be on WM 6.5
I tried the Blackstone kitchen posted here but unfortunately all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
Would any of the ROM cookers be kind enough to make his ROM extractable by the kitchen or perhaps point me to a tutorial explaining how to create a WM6.5 ROM for the Touch HD (i.e. import from a ROM cooked for another device).
I did search the forum before asking but couldn't find anything.
Your help is much appreciated and thanks for your help in advance.

I guess starting with a WM6.5 rom isn't that clever, as you must know a lot of xip porting. I haven't tried it myself, but as far as I know there were also some issues with the drivers.
Have you already tried davideuck's version? "Rom-source" sounds good, doesn't it?

I've always wondered what the [ROM-SOURCE] means but now I noticed that davideuck has included the SYS and XIP. Although I still have no idea what these are, it's food for thought and I'll do some digging to get more information.
In the meantime, if anyone can help with any information, it will be much appreciated.
I appreciate your reply john, thanks very much.

Some information is given here:
ivanmmj said:
Q: What is the XIP?
A: It's the kernel of the ROM.
Q: What is the SYS folder?
A: It's where all the new apps included in each Windows Mobile release are stored. PM me asking me where to find them.

My problem, as I said in the first post, is that all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
I am now playing with ROM/Kitchen posted in this thread - exactly what I need.
I have already cooked a ROM using the thread above and will be adding my apps and registry tweaks possibly this weekend when I have some spare time.
Thanks for your help John.

Must be alot missing from that ROM.. only 41,5 MB
it would be really nice if smone like gonzo will take care of wings software like hes doing on vox..
Okey. I flashed this OS to my wings.. cant realy see any difference?
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.16.22 build: 18128.0.4.4
Does not look like 6.1 to me? strange..
Gonzo released several updates, for example here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1997049&postcount=142. I would be nice if you could try to flash this one.
//edit: This post is more recent: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1997049&postcount=142
The Rom is missing "Xip.bin" so it is not extracted propertly...

Okey, downloading.. Will check it out
My mistake here, I flashed an old rom..
Now tried flashing this 6.1 rom, and it just goes to 82% and stops..
I cant figure out why.. I extracted the .nbh file, recompiled it to wing220.
But still, no go... strange...

Trying to figure it out here Trying to find a WM 6.1 kitchen.. I tried the Kaiser 6.1 kitchen but it does not run well here.. I need to extract all files properly.
guys, just wanted to say you should rather start from the source instead of starting from my rom which is still buggy and already a bit customised for the Vox.
You can download the original moto q update from my server here : http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev...GSZDRWNAPCNCMNSL003_secure_2803416007_1FF.rar
I found it on a chinese site.
BTW if you know of any other wm 6.1 standard version PM me.
Good luck on porting it to the Wings. It's not particularly difficultbut sometimes things don't work and you just can't locate the problem. + it takes a looot of time
Hi Dr. Martin Gonzo!
Thank you . Can you give us a short description which steps we have to do in order to port it?
Thanks,
SimonKnight6600
Finaly getting somewere here now.. But a big puzzle sorting out all the files..
Made some attemptes flashing the 6.1 version over. But the unit does not boot like it should..
Anyway, moving in the right direction at least
you have to at least replace coredll.dll in the xip and you can get rid of hd.dll, osaxst0.dll and initflashfiles.dat
Also don't forget to replace \.VM in \SYS with .VM from an original s730 rom.
If you have questions PM me, give a quick smmary of all you have done me and I'll try to help you.

Aha, great tips! I will try this later today. Thanks
Is there anyone who has the original HTC S730 ROM so you can always restore your phone?
I can imagine that you flash your phone with a cooked ROM and you don't like it that you want to go back to the original HTC rom, but I can't find it.
shiped rom
I think this is the original rom

No, sorry. Just havent had the time..
Flash Hard SPL before you try to flash any new OS to your device..
Hard SPL, USPL, SSPL, SPL.....
As far as I know I have to run a file on my phone to unlock the phone so I can install cooked Roms. The phone is then unlocked until you do a hard reset.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Rom Development bare OS 6.5 and TF

I would like to build my own bare 6.5 windows OS with TF. How can I get started? Where to begin, what ROMS do I need. What kitchen software should I use..etc. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560519
Good place to start.
need additional info..
I have read that post previoulsy. My confusion lies if my device came with OS 6.1 with TF and what to update to new 6.5 with TF. I just down want the fluff that are included in the other ROMS (sorry if I insult your build of the roms) I have already dumped the raw files and have the factory ROM that I was able to find here.

[ROM] 6.5 23064 Release Candidate

Hi my himalaya brothers and sisters!
There comes the moment we all were waiting for!
New build for our himalaya!
I think that rom is fairly stable, even on my bugged himalaya!
I can't do screenshots, because something is wrong with my computer and activesync can not connect into more than guest.
Changes in new rom!:
- Removed NET 3.5 built in, due to ROM memory lack (man! it's only 32!)
- New stablier build.
- I noticed some problems with messages, comfirm that
- Removed soltaitare, memory lack as previous.
I have a question to you my family
Should I use list start menu as here, or old one?
THIS ROM SHOULD BE STABLE, you are a tester
The an a link :
http://www.4shared.com/file/139890597/70a7fa7e/Himalaya23064RC.html
Have fun my family
Peace and love my sisters and brothers!
Peace and love...

hey aeroflyluby
Downloading new ROM now...
I think the "standard" WM Start Menu is the best Can you explain how you have changed it (so I can re-enable the standard WM menu on my device) the menu?
And, also, you have some problems with "Messaging" ?
Me too, I cannot receive any SMS... My girlfriend always says that she send me an SMS but I didnt receive anyone
Thanks bro

Hi aeroflyluby,
Very nice work , i've install this new rom and play with it during 1 hour and i've found some bug.
Contact app doesn't work (cannot create or modify a contact).
Some problem with windows media (cannot play music or video and froze wm).
no Input menu in personal settings.
default windows ringtone doesn't work (the file is unavailable).
lock all buttons except power button when device is off doesn't work.
video doesn't work in camera app.
activsync doesn't connect into guest.
that all for the moment, i've not test the gsm part and i prefer the old start menu.
Thank you very much for this beautiful rom, i hope this info can help you.

Sharing the tools to cook (fireplaces) or even working kitchen, is a really fine intention. You are a really smart guy!
Did you try to flash back to WM2k3(SE), in some cases it helped with barely bricked devices.

My hima can't handle 61 memory slot which is used the most by 6.5 builds.
I can use 6.1 instead, I use 6.0 tofclock with my xip from 21054 (6.1) which is MOST stable rom I have ever had on my himalaya!
I will upload kitchen this night, with 23420 sys, also I will try to do some tutorials how to cook and port newest builds. That's good enough?

Help with cooking wm 6.5.3 rom

Well, Im attempting in cooking my first rom. I have successfully ported the 28205 SYS and XIP but I am having trouble finding the New Ext Packages and the Sense 2.5 files. Can someone please tell me where I can find the new sense and ext packages? would be greatly appreciated. 1 more thing with my current rom is that when I upgraded it to 28205 sys and xip the tf3d became unaligned. It is being pushed down therefore the top of it is showing some purple background and the bottom tabs are a little cut off. I think this may be a sideeffect of the start bar being at the bottom. Thanks
You need to learn how to search my friend. Here is the link for latest Leo pkg. Dont add any customization to Manila, and see if it works ok.
