pkgtool stopped working here also. Using Windows XP, net framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 installed, Visual C++ redist 2005 and 2008 installed too.
I do some experiments. If you make imgfs dump to modules, then run pkgtool manually, its working fine. What is the problem?

The only reason I can think of is, if the path is not set correctly (by my application) to the dump folder where imgfs.bin was dumped.


The strange thing is that I tried today a few time on Windows 7 and XP and I didn't have a problem. I flashed to different roms on the phone modified latest from Secany and ported 6.5.5 and they both work. I will have to do more testing, but I am not sure how because it works for me. 

Can you try attached file it should display some messages before it starts pkgTool.exe. You should see something like this "1. Path >>", "2. Par >>" and "3. Exe >> ". If you could write down what text was in those lines.

I found this is the main problem:
When the Dump ROM is progressing, there is an errer notify windows (pkgtool.exe meeting an error to exit. We are sorry to ...) .
I close the errer windows ,
After Dump ROM is finished,
I found there is a dump folder where a folder(name: .ROM) and a file(name:88f892ce-7f79-4718-bfc0-388c86c721a7.dsm) existed.
Only the .ROM folder and .DSM file not moved to the SYS folder.
After I moved the .ROM foler and the .DSM file to the SYS folder manually,Then run Build Rom again,everything is OK.

If I make imgfs dump to modules, then run pkgtool manually. There is the runing log: (PKGTool.exe doesn't work fine)

Wes, did you try to connect activesync on ur win7 after flashing? i did use your latest tool 1.2beta on another machine(winXP). just try dump and rebuild without making changes and give no error. but the same simdrom happen again...

Anyway your csc tool works like a charm. i'm using it to insert samsung today and dont need to reinstall it after flashing. congratz wes58..

Here is the results:

1. Path >> K:\i8000kitchen
2. Par >> dump
3. Exe >> tools\pkgtool.exe

Yes I did use active sync and it works fine. That's what is strange, because to dump or build the rom, most of the work is done using the standard tools that are used to dump/build manually. I just move files in the correct places and split/combine files to get the final result. 


So in your case, just dumping and building the rom I use, osnbtool, imfstodumpxxx, pkgtool and then to build buildos, (extreloc), imgfsfromdump then combine the files and correct checksum and size and that's it. I don't change anything in the files except for imageinfo.bin in sys\.rom folder. Maybe this file is the problem? Just another question for you. Do you have the same problem with pkgtool where it comes with an error (windows message)?

I will do more testing on the weekend, but not sure what else I can try. Thanks for having patience and trying.

Thanks, but that's is strange because everything looks like it should be. As I wrote in the post above I will do some more testing.

wes58,
any guide how to remove unwanted program from SYS and OEM folder?
or just delete the folder and application ??

[bmarko82]

Very strange! I used original JA1 rom, with i900 executor (converting mst->mli->bin), also tried RFD's util for conversion, pkgtool crashed. (i forget to rename the bin file to pda.nb, maybee that was the problem. I will try it at home) If i use Sorg's application to dump the rom, pkgtool is working fine with romtool. Maybe lang pack causes the problem? I use Hungarian rom.

Cool in version 1.2b packaging process went pdaNew.nb0 created now will try.

Only if you do under Windows 7 it is necessary to choose a compatibility mode with Windows XP SP3 otherwise uncreated file imgfs-new.bin

wes58 Thank you so much! is doing the right thing!

If you want to modify rom, don't use mst file. This file has language packs even after converting from mst to nb/nb0. In the language pack are files needed to build it with buildOs. If you remove language pack the phone won't boot when you flash it.
Just dump your rom from the phone with Sorg's application and rename rom_dump.bin to  rom_dump.nb.

If you are not modifying the rom you can convert it with I900 executor or RFD's utility and flash nb0 file.

I run it on Windows 7 and I don't have to change it to compatibility mode with XP. I am not sure why you have a problem.

16. Opem imageinfo.bin located in \sys\.rom\ folder in hexeditor. Delete 8 bytes from the offset 18(hex) otherwise ExtReloc will not recognize it as a WM6.5 rom.
