How to use BaseKits

I saw talks in other threads about saving and using the os.nb file after running prepit.bat on the nbh file in DogGuy's kitchen. I just followed your instructions, burned the resultant RUU_signed.nbh to my phone, and so far it seems to work great.

Am I correct that the nk.fat in the basekit is the OS, and os.nb is not needed anymore? That seems to be the case, otherwise my phone wouldn't have booted.

yup your right nk.fat is the same as os.nb

one thing that i did see in the new basekit is that welcome96 image file is missing from the kit so when you build you rom the screen is going to be white instead of the windows mobile 6.1 screen, just let it boot till you hear the alert sound, then just tap the screen to get to the screen calibration.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I noticed that welcomehead.96.png was missing too. I just copied it from another kitchen. It's in SYS\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320.

May just be me, but this seems like an oversimplification.
No2chem himself says:
"IMPORTANT! You must download the regular rom too and extract os.nb from the nbh to build or else you will be using the wrong XIP!"

Also, certain OEMs contain modules that need to be moved in order to prevent memory overlaps. For this you must use the Greloc program.

I might work the way you're describing, but it seems like there's some more details that might be important.

No2Chem changed how he does his ROMs. You can no longer extract the .nb file and get it to work.
