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!

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!

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.

Bob, are you still having issues? I noticd that this post is 2 hours old...... I'm assuming you are way too determined not to have it fixed by now.

Here is what I would do: get an external card reader, screw trying to access the SD card through the phone. Edit the SDConfig.txt and include total commander into it. Get everything in order, put the SD card back in the phone, hard reset and you should be able to work from there.

Cool. I was on the right path. I was about to suggest the exact same thing, but you beat me to it!

Well -- 2hr old --was just quitting and going to bed at that time.

Great idea - BUT - I think that is part of the problem...Scott and I both had the same issue with 21015 + Kitchen....Because of an "auto-start" item in the 2577 folder on our cards, the "Auto-Calibrate" function in the kitchen hangs. The only way we get a goood flash is to remove the SD card before flashing and reinsert the card after the customizations are complete. So that means that the UC and Autorun in the kitchen won't work. What I will need to do is to figure out how to put an AUTORUN and SDConfig.txt on a spare SD card so I can use your idea.

Edit1: GONNA KILL HIM!!...GONNA KILL HIM!!!!.....AS a last resort, I used CLEAR STORAGE. That erased my !!!Bored!!! fix. BUT, I also discovered when it came back on that "FILE EXPLORER", still didn't have an icon in PROGRAMS, however, I found it in the MENU list of programs. I never thought of looking there before....it was probably there all the time.....GONNA KILL HIM!!! Still don't have ACTIVE SYNC....So, I'm still going to have to flash a new ROM to get it back - and NOW, I also have to reapply THE FIX.

All I gotta do now is to read directions on how to do a flash from the SD card....then I'm on my way.

i've had problems with UC not running with his kitchens also and found it was my personal OEM. I dropped that and got my calibration back. i would rebuild a new rom and then put your phone in bootloader.
hold power, vol down, then push the soft reset hole but keep the other buttons until you see the tri-color screen.
I flash a lot of times this way because its faster.
Hope this helps.

If that is the case look at the RGU of the OEM you think is causing the issue. It could be a bad reg entry that oer rides the AutoCal or the security.

Good thing you only get 1 call a week, I'd have been sh!tting myself by now! I can't tell you how happy I have not run into those issues yet, but look forward to solving them when they arise. I might have to get a spare phone....
