Dump XIP - Help please! - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hello, i've posted this before and tried to contact several experienced members, unfortunately, no one was able to help or didn't reply. I've tried all types of ROMs including factory\official ROMs yet i keep having the same issue. I went through several guides and followed all the steps correctly, yet still this issue!
This is the original thread i had posted earlier:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364059
I went through many posts on this and it seems other people have the same issue yet no one has replied to them with a solution...
While experimenting on Korands 2.5 & 2.6 roms (btw great work!), everything goes well until i need to "dump xip". When i run this i get the following error:
Xip2.bin: No such file or directory
...and after that no files are copied and i can't go further than that to build the ROM.
Appreciate all the help!

Ok try this
Use msflshtool from scooter kitchen
It will dump the os.nb file in 2 or 3 parts ....the 1st part is the xip. Rename that 1st file to xip.bin and run the dumprom tool. Instructions are also included in scooter kitchen inside the same folder.

Thanks villaboy25 for the help! I tried the tool and it worked, yet i got another error down the line which has to do with the XIP extraction process. Apparently part of the extracted files should include a boot.rgu. I got this error when i loaded Build OS.
Appreciate your help there or anyone else's. Are there steps or files i'm missing in the beginning? I've tried the kitchen on my desktop and laptop yet still facing the same issue.
Thanks!

msflshtool is what i will suggest. you can use rommaster to dump the xip too. all you have to do is to find where your xip partition starts in os.nb (msflashtool doesn't work with Kaiser roms for example)
since you have already dumped your xip (hopefully with xipport) then you wont have any problem. extract the xip partition with msflshtool then dump it with xipport. i think that's all. if you dump the xip with xipport you will get the boot.rgu. you have to put this file in your Kitchen\ROM\XIP folder.
hope it helped.

I am having having problems opening OS.nb file with msflstool.
It's Korands 2.6 ROM.
Any ideas?

Never mind, I figured out...

how to reconstruct a dumped rom for my niki?

hi
before installing Tom rom I have decided to dump my original rom in case I needed to put it back.
anyway I have been able to dump the 4 Raw files. now I see that in the Kaiser section there is a guide on how to reconstruct a rom to make it flashable and I wonder if I can do the same with my Niki.
any expert could pls confirm this?
thanks in advance for your help.
cheers
edit: I ve just noticed that there are some other threads about this subject...anyway if someone can confirm the right procedure would be great. thanks
Yeah, also wondered about that Kaiser rebuilding tutorial.
Talked to a few people over PM who have the same problem.
But even in the Threads nobody who knows more about flashing/ROMs seem to be willed to help out with a fre informations. :-/
Still confused about the needed baserom in this thread.
-Is this available for Niki? (Where)
-Why do i need it / why can't i rebuild a rom ONLY with my phone and need something like a bsserom?
-if i use baserom from a english device, what will happen if I use with my german RAW files?

a baserom is nothing more then a normal rom, just put a rom you like, together with the dumped filen in the kitchen folder. maybe ruu needs some information from the rom file itself, which are not present on the device.
what you find on your device is just that what you dumped. (but after hardreset)
.. i know that this not matters for you anymore. but eroG needs to know.

well yes I defenitely needed to know these things...
now, if it is not of too much trouble for you, where do I find a baserom and is there a guide on how to do it...just to avoid stupid mistakes while doing it?
thanks a lot
So, from baserom there are not much information used. (Perhaps Header information for Rom file, or something like that)
My new ROM is (more or less) the same result as on my device?
And Baserom isn't a own file format, i can use the wwe-rom postet here in the forum?
thx for help

request guide on how to get dumped rom back to device
i've read alot about how to dump rom from device and how to get dumped rom back to device.
the more i read i got confident how to dump rom .... did it .. and now have my 4 raw files.
on the other hand the more i read about how to get dumped rom back to device ... more and more i got unsure how to do it.
so please all senior posters and specialists - can you please post a cookbook on how to get it back to the device ?
thanks ! alot and keep up the good work here !
Sackbauer, I totally agree with him.
I have 4 Raw files for a Norwegian ROM, but how do can i "transform" them into a acctually "flash" file?
Please someone with the knowledge, write a "easy to understand/ step by step" guide to the ones that don't have a clue about this..
Ole
im getting kinda confused with this also, dumping the rom is no big deal, but putting it back together and flasing my phone with it, thats the big how to...
I has contact with Tom.
And he busy with vietnamese new year now.
He said will back after 1,2 day and answer all questions..
Don't worry
... good to hear that tom will take care after his new year ;-)
also keep my fingers crossed that someone is able to check radio rom and possibly enable gps and wifi ...
let me try first:
- download this kitchen
- Copy your part01.raw and part02.raw into the BaseRom Folder of this kitchen
- Copy a Nike RUU_signed.nbh into the BaseRom Folder (e.g. tom_codons rom just open the. exe with winrar and extract the file)
- Open !Begin.cmd, press 2 and do everything, what is prompted
- Open !Cook.cmd and do what is prompted
- when HTC Rom Tool is opened press Rom_Builder and ... right from System. Then Choose os_new.nb and press built
i wrote this without testing again. so if i missed something tell me, please and i'll try to help.
sounds good !
will try it later this evening and will let you know ...
thanks so far
omg .... it appears that i just "cooked" my first rom out of my dumped files from my niki .
thanks therealholg for your guide !! thats what i was looking for.
the only thing which makes me a bit nervous about reflashing my just cooked rom onto my device is that during cooking it sometimes says "file not found".
but after ignoring these messages i have a nbh file which obvioulsy was not in the folder before !!! ;-) yeah
so, now i know how to revert the process but i am to anxious to try it as this is my only niki.
lets see and wait what others say about the step by step guide of therealholg ...
in anyway - you made my day therealholg
cheers
wow... thanks for this...
tryed it out and works...
the only thing is that it still says Niki Project on the boot screen...
everything else works just fine

What to do with part00.raw and part03.raw?
Part00.raw is the are with IPL, SPL and Splashscreen. We don't want to override our new SuperCID Bootloaders
Part03.raw is content of your local storage ... i think you can't flash this area with ruu.
hi all friends...!
I'm just back from some days busy with vietnamese new year.
And have made code kitchen for reconstruct a dumped rom niki device.
What we need to do now ?
1. Copy part02.raw u dumped from original rom to Tools folder and run step1.bat
2. Extract RUU_signed.nbh from Ship rom and put in ShipRom folder.

TFAT Image Editor for editing ExtROM (author unknown)
HSPL for Gene to be able to flash custom ROMs here - (procedure) (Olipro)
Excellent guidance for upgrading Gene ROM by Mobix here (Mobix)
I know there are a lot many other files for editing the rgu files and creating hv files but I didnt try them. I dumped the ROM successfully and still learning to delete or add packages. Although I am not saying that I successfully flashed my Gene with the ROM I cooked, but learning never stops till someone expert comes along to explain things and to guide us cooking wannabes to a nice kitchen and a nice personalised ROM Your suggestions and guidance and advices are all more than welcomed here
The post below is where I am going to post the packages I create and the one below that is where I am going to put up the problems I face so no one else will repeat and brick their phones
Also attached the original Gene RUU, just in case
I did my part of dumping the OS.nb in HyperCore as mentioned in anichillus's thread here. Then I used the package tool to make packages from the dump and transfer the SYS and OEM folder to Build. I haven't yet mastered the art of adding or deleting the packages here but I certainly deleted the useless images and theme files which eats up space. Post that I did the BuildOS which created the OS-New.nb very nicely. Used HTCrT tool to create the new RUU_Signed.nbh with the OS and ExtRom. While flashing the RUU showed "Flash Write Error" at about 99%. Need guidance after or prior to that, although will not stop trying and will keep posting the progress so far here
OEM Packages created by me
(A) OEM Packages created by me with Alex's procedures:
DciNoBar
FTouchFlo_V1_4_1
FTouchFloConfig_V0_9
HomePluginWM6
LG_Today_Buttons-ENG
PCMKeyboardEN-0_13
Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2_1_0_0
SMSDRFixWM5
Spacer2_ARM
DOWNLOAD Package A
Problems I have faced so far
When I tried to recreate the hive files (default and user) Problem was faced in default.hv. Attached CMD screen, default.rgu and boot.rgu file - Solution: Found by Orefkov here
After I tried to flash my Gene with my custom cooked ROM, it left me with a blank phone. Although I passed the 1st splash screen then it was blank - Solution: Found by Anichillus here
Thanks to following experts for guiding me and lending a helping hand

@orefkov
did your gene comeback?
did it die?
Work with registry.
Some key's names in gene registry have '\' (slash) symbol in it.
Rgucomp dont work with this. You need replace '\' in key's names on '\\'.
I write simple script for it.

Some ktichens will allow you to convert OS.nb into a bootable ROM. There are also some programs that will let you do it. You can try my kitchen, it is pretty straight forward and read through it carefully and you shouldn't have a problem. Kink to kitchen is in my sig.

Have a look at this thread ...

Question
When I run option 7->3
( Make a Bootable ROM from OS.nb files -> HTC ROM Tool for Touch Pro ROM)
the program just bails on me. Any idea why? os.nb is there. i can do 7->2 and it works fine but but I have a touch pro (option 3).
also how do I find out what is in a .nb0 file?

[Released v1.01]15/10/09 Beta x7500 Kitchen 6.5

This is the kitchen I am currently using to build my rom series, my main reasons for releasing this are to try and progress development of 6.5 builds on the athena.
I am going to assume that if you have in depth knowlege to rom building that you would have probably put your own kitchen together, so please dont post questions etc if you have tried to do something out of your comfort zone i.e porting new builds(this is a bit more involved)
The kitchen contains saved builds of my latest releases, 23060 and 23053, load whichever you wish and add and remove packages etc, I will try and assist as much as I can.
There are many guides on ervius kitchen I would suggest reading them if you are new to it.
My hope is that we can resolve the few remaining issues I have in a more efficient way than me spending 5/6 hours every night building and testing roms, the main existing problems are:
DRM
Manila
Autorotation
All the saved config files have been recmodded to attain max slot 0 memory allocation, I would not advise recmodding any more modules as this will probably cause a non booting rom.
I will try and update with latest versions with a config file as they become available.
Please do not release roms into the forums, my intention is that you use it to learn and build your own spec roms
Download Link!!!!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YI469SR4
***PLEASE NOTE***
THIS IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING, YOU RUN A HIGHER RISK OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE IF YOU GO IN BLIND, AS WITH ROMS THIS IS FOR SPL3.5 DEVICES, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT PROVIDING YOU ACCEPT I CANNOT GIVE ALL MY TIME TO THIS AS I HAVE A FAMILY AND A JOB TO LOOK AFTER, IF YOU NEED HELP I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH IT VIA MSN ETC
******Reserved************

Lol, first hurdle, the kitchen is 802mb and sendspace wont allow me to upload more than 300mb
anyone got any ideas
can you upload a torrent?
ZIP > split > upload parts?
Split to 100MB parts and PLEASE upload it to Rapidshare
Thanks
you can rar/zip and split it into 250MB parts (less parts to download than to have each part at 100MB) or you can upload to torrent (but we would need seeders....the dedicated file servers are a better option though)
I managed to reduced the size somewhat and its now on megaupload, the link is now in the first post.
For those wishing a beginers course, I am going to try and do one tomorrow, but will start a seperate post for it.
I have not tested this kitchen but it should work fine.

yeah it's there, but doesn't that mean I would have to have the os.payload for the newer rom that I want to get the xip from?
if I get a rom with build 28008 can I then use the kitchen to extract the os.payload and then use that to extract the xip.bin then use the xiporter in the kitchen and extract the xip? if i do that would it mess up the kitchen in anyway?

Sorry I thought you were having a different error relating to xip.old, from your pm I am assuming your not able to port the new xip.
I have used the msxip folder that comes with rom dumps to some success in the past by creating a new folder in kitchen/rom/shared/*create folder with new build number* copy the MSXIP Kernel folder into here for your new xip supplied with dump, and copy the packages.txt file from a working folder from another build.
(This is the new XIP files)
Then go to kitchen/rom/ATHE100/ *create folder with new build number* copy the OEMXIPKernel and packages.txt from a working ATHE100 folder into there.
(This is the old device specific xip part dumped from original rom)
You should find that you now have the new xip in the dropdown box of the kitchen, however I have found this very hit and miss and am currently struggling with porting 28014 using this method. If you search there are bits of advice about other tools able to dump XIP's that VK is not able to do, but I have not had the time to fully research it.
Let me know how you get on as my kitchen is currently crashing whenever I try and do this.

ok thanks. I'm giving it a try now, I put all the files in the place they're supposed to go however, I forgot what extension to rename BatchRecmod.jpg to (the file you had sent me)
EDIT: if I remember correctly BatchRecmod was a folder that you added the .jpg extension so you could send it to me, however, when I remove the extension I still can't access the contents inside...

EDIT: if I remember correctly BatchRecmod was a folder that you added the .jpg extension so you could send it to me, however, when I remove the extension I still can't access the contents inside...

A better option than the batchrecmod I sent you would be to search Da_g's thread in dev/hacking for an addition to the kitchen made by user XTEP it adds the recmod function to the extra buttons inside the kitchen.
However if not change the .jpg extension to .zip and then unzip and you should have the files you need

thank you very much, I think I found the addition by xtep in da_g's thread but I don't see how to add it to the kitchen...so I used the the files from the zip you sent me....I tried to cook and everything seemed as if it was going just fine, then bam! kitchen crashed. I'm going to try and get a working xip.bin to and see if the kitchen can extract it because using the msxipkernel does not seem to be a stable method.

I have been struggling with this as well, I have not managed to find a portable xip.bin for 28014 as of yet. If you find one let me know please.

Search for kitchen

Hi,
I have been using a few kitchens but none of them can dump its own generated ROM back, what I did is:
1. use this kitchen to create RUU_SIGNED.NBH.
2. use this kitchen to dump from NBH file just created.
3. No OEM and SYS directory are created or the directory are created but no files inside.
Can anyone recommend a kitchen which can have files sorted to OEM and SYS in step 3?

Hey HTC_FUZE, Why do you want/need to dump your own ROM? Surely if you have the kitchen - the OEM and SYS are already there! Why don't you just recook with the changes that you want to make to it?
If your trying to dump somebody else's ROM then it may be protected. Some chefs protect their ROMs from being dumped.

just in case my hdd is dead or files corrupted, so I still have chance to extract rom from my phone and get the same dump as before
Ahhhh...

My best advice to you is to do what i do BACK UP!!! When i first started i never backed my kitchen up, then i lost my whole kitchen, had to start from scratch!! Now, every couple of builds i backup the whole kitchen to a rar and save on a external drive.
A few weeks ago my working kitchen got corrupted somehow, i just restored the rar, imported the new build and was cooking again in no time - without the backup, i'd be knackered!!!

The OEM folders unfortunately end up in the SYS folder when you dump them. Simply pull them out and put them into the OEM folder and you're set. Something to do with the kitchens recreating the DSM's incorrectly.
@jwzg:
Correct; unfortunately, most kitchens strip the .DSM/.RGU during ROM compilation. Ervius tried to implement a method to preserve the .DSM/.RGU for decompilation but it didn't work as he'd hoped.
@HTC_FUZE:
You need to backup your working kitchen; unfortunately there's no other way. I usually do the following:
File copy the kitchen to a backup HDD
File copy the compiled .NBH I used on the device to a backup HDD
.RAR the kitchen
You could go one extra step and burn the lot to a CD/DVD.
HTH,
This is what I am doing now. However, I would like to have such a kitchen I mentioned. I found one of the ROMs I downloaded can be dumped and sorted like official ROM. I may ask him which kitchen he uses.
I have a Wizard ROM which can be dumped like this. It was made with with an old kitchen that is incompatible with newer devices.

Hi, Jwzg:
If it is working with Fuze, I would like to have it. Could you give me it? Thanks
