first flash, build didnt work, stuck on 2nd splash of my previous build (ppcktchen build)
doing number 2 now, hope it works. nope. still getting wrong thing....dang!
try number 3, still stuck at 2nd splash screen...

also on the RUU it says i am updating to image version: 1.12 latti ??

Remember when I asked if there were .hv files? If the .hv are not present, it is a good indicator that the rom was built with the ppckitchen, and those you can't rebuild and flash using this method. Don't know why, you just can't.

and the 1.12 latti...you can change that, it is in ..\kitchen\tools\vogue_nbh.txt

I see. so is there a way for me to import his drivers and stuff into the kitchen ?
maybe import the nbh file and only select what I want?

Without advanced knowledge, you would have to ask the chef...

Chefs spend many hours developing their techniques, drivers, screens and what not. My experience has come from decompiling and playing around with countless roms since I got the bug, in January of 2008. I am willing to share my knowledge, but your general question about drivers and stuff...That's the whole rom er shall I say the soul of the chef. Keep reading and searching. You'll gain the knowledge soon enough!

I have some OEMs (no cabs unfortunately for me) that I'd like to add to No2Chem's latest Titan rom [nueROM 2.2-5770-pre8] but since he has not graced us with a corresponding kitchen as of yet, I have been trying your method but I have not been successful. Do you know if your method should work on No2Chem's roms? Is there hope? He does have an AWESOME program built in that will install OEMs after the rom has already been flashed! But alas, it does not work on all OEMs. I also tried a program called WinCE Cab Manager to try and convert the OEMs to cabs but that did not work either.

the ROM that you are using may be missing the .rgu file the vogue kitchen tools are not designed to decompile all roms some chefs use different techniques and tools to cook roms

Great info.

I just followed your guide and decompliled the voguimg.nbh from the new Bell Rom
The only part I'm worried about is after extracting the original .exe it contains some other files that look important. LaunchPPST.exe, PPST__.CAB, Special_4350_For_BM.NBH, TM31402.prl and maybe UI.dll
Any suggestions as to how to handle these files when rebuilding a new rom.

Those files are not necessary except when you flash the whole package initially. With this tutorial, the only one you really need to be concerned with is the .nbh file out of the release .exe. If there are two .nbh files inside, then select the larger one of the two. I'll check it out as well..

Edit: You want to use VOGUIMG.nbh...Executing the new .EXE will upgrade your radio, prl and rom. Do this before flashing/playing with a custom rom from voguimg.nbh.
