few questions to rom i8000 rom cookers

[Guest sinancetinkaya]

I've spent my last few days for jb1 but I gave up, because somethings are really strange with i8000 rom (I dumped the rom because of the language stuff)

My questions:

* Additional rgu files doesn't make any sense. At least I disabled security check, but after flash, it's still the old value

* Changing pagepool isn't in usual way. I saw wes's tool makes an xip rebuild, why ?

* solved

* solved

* I think eboot isn't just a bootloader, is it related to rom files ?

I need more explanation guys. Whatever you'll write will help other people.

Thanks in advance

Cooking 101 Using Wes58's RomTool

I will use I8000NXXJB1 as an example.

1. Dump your uncooked ROM using sorg's dump utility.

Sorg ROM Dump Utility

2. Copy and paste folder "_Template" in i8000kitchen folder. Rename it to something you like.

I usually rename it to the version of the ROM I am working with (XXJB1 for example)

3. Copy rom_dump.bin from your phone to the folder where you are building new rom (XXJB1 for example).

4. Start Wes58's RomTool program.

5. Change Work Folder (at top) to folder the folder where the rom_dump.bin is (XXJB1).

6. Leave everything checked (default).

7. Click Select File (at bottom) to locate the rom_dump.bin file.

8. When Source PDA box is filled with your dump, click Run (bottom right).

And wait til it's finished.

9. Once it is finished, you should have 2 additional folders:

OEM

SYS

10. Now click on Build PDA tab. (We are not changing anything yet. Just want to make sure the

we know how to use RomTool)

11. Click Run (bottom right).

12. First, you will get a BuildOS window. Under file, at the top, click the green arrow to start

building the ROM.

13. When BuildOS has successfully completed. Close the window.

14. Next, you will see the ExtReloc window and don't be afraid when you see it.

15. Between the "Work with XIP" and "Work with IMGFS" areas, there is a vertical white line.

Drag it all the way to the left.

If you have done this correctly, you will see a "Realloc IMGFS Modules" button on the right.

You should also see "[.VM]" and "[.ROM]" areas. Don't change anything.

16. Click the "Realloc IMGFS Modules" button.

Wait for it to finish. After it finishes and there are no errors, close the window.

17. The build process will continue to completion, assuming no errors.

18. In the Finished ROM folder you will find a new ROM which you just built. Congratulations!!!

As far as removing programs, you can use Wes58's tool to do that using the SYS/OEM tab on the RomTool.

The registry entries are in .rgu files in the SYS and OEM folders. Do not mess with the .dsm files.

This is a very brief intro to building a rom. Please read as much as you can BEFORE asking questions.

All of people on this forum have invested a lot of time writing directions and answering questions about

rom building, so please take the time to read what they wrote.

Happy Cooking! :(
