I don't edit rgu files because i don't find them.

Well i extract PDA.bin from exe updater with ExtractROM_exe.cmd,i obtain OEM and SYS folders (no rgu files in this folders),from these i remove files and rebuild with BuildROM.cmd then i flash the bin file.

I forget or wrong something?

Anyone can post a little complete guide to cook with this tools?

there are a few guides at xda-developers, I am also looking at one of them, just picked one. i think it should be applicable here, especially, the part where we remove apps and add in apps.

BTW, there are a few rgu files in the oem and sys, you can't see them because your window explorer is set to hide these files. ..
It's pretty easy to check out the rgu files which are essential text files, but it takes a lot of effort to search and remove..

Have fun..

Ok problem solved: i don't remove the option on XP to hide system files...

I have another problem,i converted default.hv to default.rgu and edit with notepad2 (on first line i added REGEDIT4 and add an empty line ad the of file,saved in UNICODE) but when i try to rebuild to .hv through rgucomp -b command i receive an error on this line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\JaguarGSP1\Parms\TcpIp]

I don't change nothing i simply try to rebuild original default.hv...

some problem

If you are using a .bin file (such as Secany's latest DTHJ5.bin) you must rename the file to PDA (eg PDA_i900DTHJ5 becomes PDA). Then it will work.

If you are using the Extract_exe prompt, you do not have to rename anything.

when building an unmodified ROM after extracting it using ExtractROM_exe.cmd by dragging the os.nb file onto BuildROM.cmd, the following error pops up while "processing SYS/SYS"

Error
The file 'temp\dump\.ROM\imageinfo.bin' already exists.

then the building process stops.

file attributes problem again?

Hi all,

When I repack my hex-edited CSC.CSC file (along with eboot.nb0, pda.bin & phone.bin) into an exe and launch it, I get cFile.open failed error as soon as I click START on the userdownloader..
But I can successfully flash it (the CSC) using grandprix.
If I rename it to CSC.BIN, it is just ignored and won't pack in..

Would you know what's wrong ? Filename, filesize maybe ?

Thank you very much

edit: problem solved, not sure how..

Unfortunately not, being able to do so would be very useful! Or even extracting a CSC would help, so we can just flash without a CSC...?

Hi all!!

Sorry for my English but I will try to do the best that I can!

Paul, do you have a tutorial to "cook a rom"?? I was read all this posts but I don't know how to add/remove programs like .net 2.0.

Can you help me?

to remove netCF2.0, you have to make sure you have the netCF3.5 OEM package, then remove the old version under SYS folder and add the new one in OEM. Most settings should be in the netCF folder so you should not need to modify other entries.

--------------------

Like the work I've done for you?

Then I would really appreciate it if you could help me out.

It will encourage me further and of course produce better work.

A dollar or any amount you could spare will be greatly appreciated.
