Oh dude, thanks for telling me that.... Makes a BIG spin on things......

OP if you are doing what I think you are doing then you are wasting your time. This could be an ALL YEAR AFFAIR. I cant help with that. You need to search for XIP Porting

ACE: Tell me if I am in the wrong line of T/Sing here? Is it the problem I think? Noobishness? Not realizing differnt base payloads dont work correctly with others... Like maybe he borke this down with a full size payload instead of just XIP and he needs vice-versa????? IE Dog guy style vs HTC Project style (for lack of better words?)

That was my understanding based on his questions in Calcu's thread and what he has posted here. He could not get the 1.4 to cook and I kept telling him it's not a complete kitchen and to DL 1.3 which is a complete kitchen. He finally did and cooked a working rom and now he posted this thread basically asking the same thing.

I gave up on that quest.
I was not trying to just SLAM I am trying to LEARN obviously there is a proper way to do all this. Finding this information is the hard part, tuts are all written for specific kitchens, roms, peoples. personal out takes and experiance.
Nothing really makes it to the point sense. I'll figure it out.
Instead of pointing out what I am doing wrong why not explain to me how to do it right?
It can't be all that hard to explain to me what I am missing in caulks kitchen can it?
I have a base rom and if that doesnt work I have

A complete sys folder xip os payload and oem folder
Now people build kitchens all day right?

I have succesfully gotten rices kitchen to work.

I was able to replace the sys folder with the one I have and update some oems.

What would I look for in that Init file to find out which one is bad?

I would rather have the advance features afforded me with Caulks 1.4
and now I just need to know how to name the rom so when its flashing it doesnt say generic 1.0.3

Thanks for the help

If no one wants to help me out does anyone want to make the kitchen for me and I'll pay you?

Do this....

Look in the MR folders of all th ROM folders you have. Tell me if they are all EXACTLY the same size or not. Just tell me what you see and I will try to explain.

The reason people dont want to help any further is very very simple.

Read my post a couple above this...

Its not easy man. You may need to port XIP's over. You mismathcing payload files.

If it was that easy dont you think you woud have figure dit out by now?

Dude, what you are trying to do is best left for people well above MY level. IT however can be done..... I dont even bother to try as you are re-inveintg a wheel that may not even fit the car to begin with.

But LIke I said, I understand your thirst for knowledge. I didint get to be me without trial and error. My ROM's are great IMHO. But they just didint happen! I did what you are doing. Exactly what you are doing.

I'll help but not sure if I can.

As for telling you what the files say I deleted Everything except rices kitchen so as not to have to much clutter I was starting to get confused downloading and reading too much I think

But I have SUCCESFULLY cooked a rom using Riceskitchen with the sys folder I have. everything works just fine only thing is how do I name the rom?
I think whats left is to figure out all the little tweaks such as booting with my theme not the default etc

But back on track I MUST get this Caulks kitchen going all those features in the kitchen would surely make my roms that much better?

I have the OS and oems I wish to use to cook with with an empty kitchen what am I missing? thats the big question the rest I'm sure I can trial and error etc..

Thanks for all your understanding and patients

More than likely your XIP's are not sown up in the same fashion. I had this same problem too. Same error message as well. Just rememberd that when Ace made his point. But you figured that out so moving on.

Ok, I am lost. Its late so bear with me.... I just released a HOT VZW ROM and my brain was cooked in the process...

So, please fill in the blanks and it will be easier for me OK?

1. SYS folder from what Kit?
2. ROM folder form what kit?
3. OEM Folder from what kit?
4. Objectives to doing what you are doing?

Like I said I am all over the place today so bear with me. More than likely I have already "been there done that" and although I may not have an answer to make it work I can tell you why it doesnt work. The rest will be up to you.

EDIT: I just got your PM. Lets keep it there instead

MODS: Close this sucker DOWN! we will handle in PM

Yes I am all set thanks to Scrosler I couldnt of gotten it done without ya man. You rock keep up the helpful work

Re: Kitchen help

It's an idea fraught with peril to mix folders between old style kitchens. I don't recommend it unless the kitchens are practically stock.
