Elfin rom can used in opal?

As opal has the same hardware as elfin, are all good roms in elfin can be used in opal?
Just wonder, why there is a board talking about opal rom development.

I think its possible, just we need to cook a rom wih OS part only and give a try
I will cook something, later Ill post results

[PROBLEM] Cooked Rom stuck at boot

I am using ervius to build a rom, Everything works according to the kitchen except that it could not find the ppchanger. But that shouldn't be an issue. However, whenever I load it to the phone. It becomes stuck at boot. What am I doing wrong? Here's the build log.

Update: I moved the wincenls_wwe to my oem to no avail. still stuck at touch pro screen. Here's the latest build log after recmodding some files:

Everything seems to be ok and if it stucks in the first splash screen is issues related to XIP check your OEMxipkernel all the modules.... same format! check the MSXIPkernel all the modules same format!
i see you are addin manila but i couldn saw any manila pkg in OEM or EXT cause you dont have nothing in EXT and you just have OEM and SYS.. where did you get all of this OEm SYS and addons?

Thanks for your reply. All I did was dump a shipped rom. Then I tried to add a 6.5 build. The shipped rom had manila within the oem.

ok... first of all... wich device is it? wich rom was the original rom? 6.1 or 6.5? did you checked 6.5 real aku on the kitchen?

and yes dont forget to check the thread of how to make rom bootable..

Well I tried the Verizon XV6850_MR1_Upgrade_v2.0 for the Touch Pro. I am trying to create the rom for CDMA device (herman correct?) The original rom is 6.1 and I am trying to put the 21903 build. Yes I checked the aku 6.5. I've read the threads from others with the similiar issues. I've tried the recmod.exe in the Ervius tools folder, and I've also tried the recmod auto zip. I've downloaded and went through the list of sys files that can be recmodded with no luck. What steps exactly do I take to make sure that the oemxipkernel and msxipkernel are the same format?

Hi well it seems that you need to know this, if your dumped rom was 6.1 your kernel is not real aku 6.5 so you dont check that box in the kitchen

oh... so even if I am using 6.5 sys & xip.bin if I am bringing over the oem kernel from the base rom then I should NOT check it... Is that what you are saying?

Exactly!
If you dump the 6.1 STOCK ROM you will have xip.bin payload rromhdr.bin and OEMXIPKERNEL V6.1 and you will not check the the real aku6.5 on the kitchen
If you dump a 6.5 STOCK rom you will have everything in 6.5Version so you can check that checkbox... Why you dont take a look into the main stickie in repositories maybe you can find your Native 6.5 OEMXIPKERNEL and send to the hell the 6.1 version

So it doesn't matter if the 6.5 stock rom is not for cdma touch pros? As long as I choose the right dpi and of course remove gsm stufff then I can create a build for it? Am I right in my thinking?

yes the thing that makes the GSM or CDMA rom is in your OEMXIPKERNEL things and in your OEM folders

Wow!! This is some amazing stuff. Ok one more question, of late most builds do not include the oemxipkernels, and I've learned that you can generate this with xipport button in ervius. If i was to use this, and i port the os.payload & the build's xip.bin, should I check the box that this is a native 6.5 kernel?

Touch pro is the FUZE isnt it?
Why you dont ask in Da_G thread for the Native 6.5 TOUCH P kernel
i cant remember well but i guess i saw it
you dont need to do that the kitchen ports the xip.bin payload bal bla bla autopmatically for you

Just want to say thanks for your help. I find your insight very helpful. I will start from scratch and see what happens. Thanks again.

[SOLVED] Enabling 576MB in TMOUS HD2

Hi,
I've done research on the forum here and found that to unlock the full 576 RAM in HD2 you need two things from the TMOUS ROM. The Radio and nk.exe. I've managed to download the appropriate Radio to unlock the memory but cannot for the life of me understand how to get the nk.exe.
I am using osKitchen Kitchen v1.25 to cook my roms. It uses the following structure under the Sources folder:
EXT
MSXIPKernel
NK
OEM
Other
ROM
SYS
Replacing the NK folder in the TMOUK kitchen from the TMOUS ROM simply does not work the resultant ROM does not boot and just hangs the device.
Could one of our chefs please explain how to port the nk.exe from the US build to unlock the memory in the T-Mobile UK ROM 1.72.
Using the following 576-enabled Radio
RUU_Leo_Radio_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2
Many thanks in advance

For the 576MB patch you need only to replace these folders from an 2.07 or 2.02 Stock-Rom:
Rom\XIP\OEMXIPKernel\nk.exe
OEM\OEMDrivers
OEM\OEMDriversHigh
Then you need to replace again with this folder
OEM\OEMDrivers\ddi.dll
with an older Base than 2.07/2.02 (1.72 in your case is recommended)

Thank you very much indeed for your kind help. It worked perfectly

Hi, I'm a newbie for ROM cooking, experienced cookers, please advise.
I'm using HD2/Leo phone, I learned how to use HSPL, flash a cooked ROM, so I'm start thinking of cooking the ROM my own, and what all I need is retain original 1.66 707.1 Asia WWE version of stock ROM, but only to enable 576MB RAM.
I found a kitchen, oskitchen zero 1.31, use the GUI and extracted the stock ROM, and stop here, because I don't know how to cook the ROM...
Experienced cookers, please advise, thanks in advance!!!

patensas posted like 2 posts up from yours which files you need to replace.

which means that i just copy all the folder need, then paste inside the osKitchen Zero folder, and finally click "Start building button" to cook my ROM...?

I also want to know why ddi.dll need to be remain old version?
OEM\OEMDrivers\ddi.dll

hello fellow chefs
i am trying to make a verry smooth rom in dutch for soem friends of mine
it is working out quite well but i want to enable the 576 ram tweak
in patensas his post he says i need to change things from a tmous rom
if i use the tmous 2.13.531.1 as base rom do i still need to change those folders?
thanks in advance

sorry to ask but coul some one upload the files to make the 576 mb tweak?
i have 2.13 tmous as base in the kitchen and it would save me a download and dump
thanks in advance

All you need is in the 2.13 TMOUS.

then i dont get it:-o
i installed Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 on the phone but no 576 mb tweak:S

Using 2.13 base you should have 576 anyway.
What did you change?

to be honest i have no idea why it aint working
when you got the settings tab and scroll down to device info
there you choose hardware info it should also say 576?
the thing i did is dump the tmous 2.13 rom with ervius
then i took out the 0409 folder in oem and replaced it with the the one i use for blackstone(maybe the fault is here) then i replaced the ext packages with the ones i use i blackstone kitchen(compared wich are unnesacary and left those out) and then recooked the rom
i also decided today that i am gonna rebuild the entire kitchen from scratch without copy pasting the 0409 folder in oem and set everything up from there and remake the initflash.dat the way i want it
i havent changed the ddi.dll so that might be the trick why it aitn working
on side note:
wish i whasnt in the middle of moving and had the actual device for a few days
that would definetly make things easier for me
ps: what do you think is the best base to use to build the kitchen on with ervius kitchen
tmous 3.14? it would sound logical that newer is better although there are differences between the american and european leo's

Hi all !
I'm trying to cook a personal custom rom I just want to change the build from 6.5 to 6.5.X of the official htc 3.14 italian rom. I would also like to enable the 576 mb of ram. I have already installed on the phone the 2.15 radio, what files I need to change inside the kitchen ( I use oskitchen ) ? I have a t-mobile.uk hd2 ( I have bought it from england.
so I think that it's the european version )

Take the nk.exe(from oemxipkernel) from 2.13 tmous.I think also the nk.exe from 3.14 tmous should be ok but I havent try it.

Could someone just post an attachment with the modules needed to enable the extra RAM? I'm sure it would make it easier for everyone. I'd do it, but I don't have an hd2.

The way that the European Leo device gets the 576 ram enabled is the following:
Replace the nk.exe with the nk.exe from TMOUS rom (in Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\Profiles\default\OEMXIPKernel folder for oskitchen, or \ROM\LEO\build number\OEMXIPKERNEL for ervius kitchen).
I attach the 2.13 tmous and 3.14 tmous nk.exe modules.Both do the trick or enable the 576 ram (for those who believe it).
Personally in my Leo I didnt see any difference with the 576 ram enabled.

[Q] Rom not booting after changing nk.exe

Hello guys,
I was building a rom for HD2 using 3.14 WWE base and 23699 WM build. I was having the problem with very low program memory - about 20 mb free. I searched the forum and what i found is to change the nk.exe with TMOUS one. I did and now the rom is stuck at the welcome screen. Then in oskitchen, i changed the rom from 3.14 WWE to tmous 3.14 and got the same problem.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Use nk.exe for your device. If your device is not tmous device, then dont use nk.exe for tmous.

Be sure to have Radio from 2.08.xx,old radios doesnt works with TMOUS nk.exe,my suggestion is to use new radio from WWE 3.14 the 2.15.xxx.

Is there a good set of FAQ's for cooking for the Leo? I don't own one, but all I ever read about are issues with getting the correct hard spl, radio, and builds. A link would be good for this thread, but even better would just be an FAQ thread on how to cook for the Leo properly.

In my honest opinion ,cooking for LEO is more simple then other old devices,steps are easy,here what i do for my rom:
_Dump newest shipped rom,in my case i have 3.14 Italian.
_Replace Nk.exe from TMOUS
_Change WM build ,in this case i have 23150
_Apply wm 6.5.x fixes
_Load my personal customizations
_ Be sure to have proper Radio for 576 mb enabled
Thats all.
When i cooked for Kaiser the list was double and more ,more ,more reg tweaks,lol

deleted due to simplicity of question

Any QVGA devices with official 6.5 ROMs?

Are there any QVGA devices that have official Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs out there? I have been searching but keep finding links back to here for cooked ROMs.
I previously cooked a ROM for my Blackstone but used the EXT Packages dump from a HD2 and customisted the bits that didn't work. I want to build a WM 6.5 ROM for a Kaiser and I was going to try and apply the same logic with a QVGA device if there is one?
Thanks, Andy
