*** Informations for Developers about Plugins ***

When NokiaCooker launches your application it will pass the 4 command-line param
eters below:
1) the file currently selected in the window on the right side
2) the path where the fw files have been extracted (eg: c:\nokiacooker\files\n8f
w_extracted\)
3) firmware filename (eg: RM-596_011.012_U01.01_79.92_prd.uda.fpsx)
4) firmware type (UDA, ROFS, CORE, UNKNOWN)
How to read the arguments depends on the programming language you're using:
- for Delphi you should use ParamStr() ParamCount()
- for C# you can find the source code of a skeleton Plugin inside "TestPlugins SourceCode.zip"

*** History ***

3.4
- New: NokiaCooker will automatically download and install new updates
- Fixed: "Can't detect partition data" was shown, when opening some core fw file
s (eg. N95, N96)
- Improved: NaviFirm+ v2.0
- Improved: you can disable the backup creation by setting the "MakeBackup" valu
e to "False" in the .config file
- Improved: partition detection (added partvers 0x0100000)
3.3
- New: can be associated to .vpl and .fpsx extensions. Just double-click on a fw
file, NokiaCooker will be launched and unpack the selected fw file
- Improved: general exception handling. Some exceptions were not caught correctl
y, causing NokiaCooker to unexpectedly close without showing any error message.
- Improved: minor improvements
3.2
- New: Partition Manager. It is now possible to repartition the fw and choose th
e size of ROFS1, ROFS2, ROFS3, UDA. You can even transfer the free ROFS space to
the UDA, in order to increase the total available space on c:\
You should not use the Partition Manager on cfw which have been already r
epartitioned in other ways.
- Improved: the copy option in the log window, copies only the selected text
- Improved: new block (3A) gets parsed for CORE files
- Improved: new header fields (E5, EA) gets parsed for CORE files
- Improved: better Fat detection for UDA files
- Improved: rewritten parsing of .vpl files
- Fixed: when connected to the pc, the Phone Memory was shown as "NOKIACOO~0" or
"NCxx"
- Fixed: a wrong clusters computation, could cause a data loss for the 2 last cl
usters in the UDA, when filled at the top.
3.1
- New: added a new message to the Cookers.
- Improved: the "Expand All / Collapse All" options, will expand and collapse on

ly the currently selected folder.

- Fixed: when sorting list, sometimes empty lines were shown, instead of the fil
es entries.
- Fixed: error message "can not read from the end of the stream" when opening so
me UDA files (eg. X7)
3.0
- Fixed: when trying to extend the ROFS1 an ArgumentOutOfRangeException was rais
ed for some fw files (eg. N95)
2.9
- Fixed: error message "can not read from the end of the stream" when repacking
some UDA files (eg. X7)
2.8
- Fixed: removed message "This version is too much old"
2.7
- Fixed: then error message "key not present in the dictionary" was shown in som
e circumstances during repack.
- Improved: NaviFirm+ plugin has been updated to the latest version 1.7
2.6 Change-Log:
- Fixed: Extend ROFS1 feature was broken due to the 2.5 changes related to the U
nlock ROFS.
2.5 Change-Log:
- Fixed: sometimes the following message was wrongly shown when saving the fw fi
le "Error repacking fw, Block position has changed! Please contact: m.bellino@sy
mbian-toys.com"
- Improved: Unlock ROFS feature has been rewritten to support a larger set of co
re files.
- Improved: NokiaCooker adds its own signature to the file \resource\versions\cu
stomersw.txt
2.4 Change-Log:
- New: I've only added a personal message to Cookers :) It will be shown after t
he fw has been repacked.
2.3.1 Change-Log:
- Fixed: the final CRC value was still wrong for some fw files.
2.3 Change-Log:
- Fixed: a quick, but important, bug-fix. In the previous version, the changes t
o the ROFS1 (CORE) were not applied.
2.2 Change-Log:
- New: added new option to extract the ROM. You can find it inside the menu "Adv
anced > Extract ROM to File..."
- Improved: reports an error when trying to open corrupted firmware files.
- Improved: slightly changes to the fw parsing engine.
- Fixed: the final CRC value was wrong for files < 1Mb
- Fixed: "Can't detect Partition Data" error when opening an unkown image format
.
2.1 Change-Log:
- New: you can extend the ROFS1 partition to the maximum size.
- New: added Yellow status for the Estimated Size.
.When it is marked in Red, the repack will probably fail and you'll be f
orced to remove some data.

.When it is marked in Green the repack will probably complete successful

ly.
.When it is marked in Yellow, the size of the current data is near to th
e limits of the Partition, so you have to try to repack the fw to know exactly i
f it will be repacked successfully or not.
.In any case, NokiaCooker will never let you write outside of the Partit
ion Size limits, so it will be always safe to flash the repacked fw.
- Improved: shows a confirm dialog when you attempt to close the fw file and it
has not been saved yet.
- Improved: in order to grand a safe repack, 2 different checks are performed wh
en repacking the data to be 100% sure that the new data will not exceed the maxi
mum partition length.
- Improved: toolbars settings (text and icon size) can be customized using the r
ight mouse button.
- Improved: added expand all / collapse all commands in the treeview.
- Improved: avoid TreeView flickering when the directory selected contains a lot
of files.
- Improved: computation of the final CRC takes less memory, allowing to process
bigger UDA files.
- Improved: better computation of the new blocks needed during repack.
- Improved: ROFS1 partition size detection.
- Fixed: message "NokiaCooker is running as Administrator" was wrongly shown whe
n UAC was disabled.
- Fixed: after removing some data from the ROFS1, the filesize of the repacked f
w was still unchanged.
- Fixed: shows an error when trying to repack an unsupported UDA-MMC (BlockType4
9)

st anymore

*** Description ***

Nokia Cooker is a PC software reserved to the Cookers, which allows to modify th
e files containing the phone's firmware to create customized firmwares versions
named Cooked-Firmware.
Nokia Cooker can modify data which is located in:
- UDA
- CORE (ROFS1 data only)
- ROFS
- ROFx
Not all the ROFS/ROFx can be modded!
Modding a protected ROFS/ROFx you'll risk to brick the phone.
If you aren't sure that your ROFS/ROFx can be modded, don't do it.
The modding of the UDA, instead, is always a safe operation.
This software is provided "as is" and moreover, WITHOUT any technical support, s
o, DO NOT contact me about this, because you WILL NOT receive any reply.
If you don't know how to install, or how to use it, probably you don't need Noki
a Cooker at all.
