Whats the secret here? I've been READING READING READING so much so my eyes are red and raw so please dont ask me to do more reading. I know I'm making some silly little mistake overlooking something small

HELP please!

I'm trying to use Caulkins 1.3.1 kitchen or even 1.4 which has no oems etc

Or should I be using another kitchen? I've tried just basic Raphael but again unless I rip the rom I can't use it with the files I have

Your answer lays somewhere with the files on your computer....

Pretty vaugue huh?



Give detail and we will help. No detail means no help. Kitchens are extermely complex and not to be taken light heartedly. Are you sure you dont want to use a pre made kitchen? what are you trying to accomplish?

Im nopt trying to discourage you, I just want you to know there are alternatives and I also need to know what you are trying to complish. I will always help the best i Can.

Yes very sorry for not giving much details

I've downloading and unpacked Caukins 1.4 and tried to put in my own oems and sys file everything seems to be fine until I try to cook the rom what seems to be right at the end of BuildOs's thing it errors out with
"External component has thrown an exception."

So I then downloaded the Basic Raphael Kitchen which is pretty empty I guess you would say what I did was followed the directions in a tut I found to take an already cooked rom and run Prepit.exe on it and if I do that I"m able to recook it using the kitchen as is but if I try changing the sys folder or oem folder I again get the same error?

What I am trying to accomplish is to build upon a pre-excisting rom cooking in all updated os and htc apps etc.

I'm running Windows Vista Ulitimate full admin privliages
I can cook roms with a full kitchen using whatever is already packed in no errors.

I hope that is enough info for you to help me out. Thanks for your time

Hmmmm... Do this... I forget what it means but take a screen shot of the error and the build OS screen next to it. I need to see the error and the bottom of build OS so I know where the project is at when error.

My first guess is you have a corrputed XIP????? Nah, because you can build stock configs right?

Yes I can and I got a new XIP too with the sys files I got
