I am having a problem with the kitchen and build 21015.
I am using the exact same successful setup besides the folders in your 21015 download. I have also tried FPOS' 21018 XIP download with the same result.
Cant find ....tools\OS-new.nb.
I don't know where to look and haven't found any info on this.
Thanks!

Not going to be much help, but I know that's been discussed in this thread. You should find it, if they didn't delete it in their page reduction.

I'm testing my memory, but i think it means one of 2 things
1) Your phone isn't unlocked
2) you have too many items selected in the BuildOS

I did the kitchen c2 with 21015 and didn't have any similar problems.

Good luck,
Bob

Thanks for chiming in. I searched for OS-new.nb but no luck.
I use all the same selections and methods as all previous builds, but now the same damn error. I just tried c2 dropped the 21015 ROM and SYS folders in and put a few OEMS that I have been successfully using and got the same error. Probably time for a reboot and move on to something else for the night. I am going prebuilt B2B for now.
If you find the info on that error pass it along.
-Thanks!

DigitalAttack and jucy are a little farther down that path than I am currently, so hopefully they will chime in with their newly gained expertise.

If you guys are cooking with SSK you have to have 5 folders. this is the root of the kitchen with a BAT file which will run the batch operations to make the ROM.
1. OEM... included in SSK Kichen (Has all the OEM Apps.)
2. ROM... inlcuded in XIP from FormerPalm's Thread
3. RUU... included in SSK kitchen
4. SYS... included in the 21018 Link i provided on this thread.
5. TOOLS... included in Kitchen.

Inside the Former's XIP you'll also find .ROM and .VM they both go into the root of SYS folder.

Once you do that u'll need to copy some missing SYS... files like Office and add it back in to your SYS folder. Missing ones can come from another SYS like 21015. Once you do this you can start the kitchen and let the BuildOS load. If you didn't configure options.xml you'll see some crazy choices... If u don't know what it is check it... lol Esp Phone stuff.

U can erase IRDA and other sys's that are NOT used by TP. u'll need some researching. You can also DIFF SYS and OEM to find and duplicated files... if there are any kitchen will yell at u... and u'll have to delete one of the dups...

and u cook... and change PP by pointing it to your final .nbh file to 10 - 12 megs. I'm on 11.11MB close PagePool changer and flash!

Thanks for the support.
I am all good on what I need in there, im just not familiar with what needs to be inside the folders. As long as I have them matched up to work alls good.
It turns out to be that I cooked too large, which I have corrected now.
I did try the 21018 as you described, but it wouldnt boot. I need some more time to work on it or wait until someone puts out a matching XIP with seperated out SYS.

Can someone check Is the WM File Explorer automatically installed with Scott's C2 Kitchen? I believe that it is installed as a "default" file explorer. I did a hard reset and I seem to have lost it. Looks like I may have to reflash my phone.

EDIT: Ok, I think that there are problems in RIVER CITY
1) No File Explorer....without it can't access SD Card
2) PDA is not detected by Active Sync on Pc....Already checked the normal culprits, reintstalled AS on the PC...Still no luck
3) If I can't get to the SD card, and I can't use ActiveSync, how do I reflash? I would need some type of "autostart" file on the SD card to enter the bootloader. Is there one out there?

4) I can get to the internet via data link. What I need is a "file explorer" that can "auto-install" OTA....If I could get some type of explorer installed, then I could do a flash. But it needs to be auto installed since i can't get to a cab to start installation. Open to suggestions.
5) Alternate usb cable didn't work either.

Anyone using the R4R theme?

I've been messing around with themes and liked the bottom scrolling bar from R4R. However upon messing a little I have discovered that my bubbles display double circles... I don't remember if that is the way it is supposed to be or if I have to do some more tweaking, hehe.

Would anyone please tell me if the bubble for the new text message is supposed to loook doubled like in the screenshot or if it's supposed to be only one circle?

Thanks!
