How To Sign a ROM? - Hero CDMA Android Development

I searched all around this forum for a way to make a signed, flashable, rom. Everything I tried failed flashing at recovery, some said it can't open the zip, and some said it can't find the update-script.

About half way down is the part about signing.

I'm quite sure that I did both of them without any problems. The splash screen shows for a very long time until the animated boot screen takes over.

what you on about? don't tell me to search! i asked a question so if you didn't wanna answer just don't post. we don't need people like that on here. if you help then help.............. hate people like that. i help many people both on msn and in forum. i never tell anyone to do anything as its their choice.
hmmmmmmmmm if you read what i asked for then you would have replied accordingly. not your fault mate! total waste of a post!
edit: **** don't think that was meant for me............ apologies! still no need for the higher than thou attitude
Going to create some for you they are going to be here:
http://ostebaronen.dk/android/splash/
just download the raw565 files for flashing, to preview look at the other files.
EDIT: There should be 5 of them now. I can convert them for you if you supply me the image through a link or something.

sounds nice.
Did try the tutorial that was linked a few posts up but all i got was wrong digest when i tried to flash it.
Any ideas ?
i've already flashad splash1 but its not possible to flash splash2 atm. Atleast not on the htc branded Saphire
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash splash2 android_boot_image_black2.raw565
sending 'splash2' (300 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash2'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!)
Maybe I didn't flash the splash2 afterall. Because I get the same error. Though the second splash image belongs to the ROM, so you should be able to alter that too. Let me investigate!

Ok, seems like the other boot screen comes from /system/media/boot.gif let me try to alter it to an other one Be right back with results.
Yep thats the one. Instructions are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3918162
Works on my phone

not on mine thoug. just getting wrong digest
ohh havnt tried replacing that gif, will do not though. would be nice to hear how i fix the wrong digest if its possible
EDIT: replaced gif but that screen last for a whole 2s. i wanna replace the one in frame-res.apk but atm just getting wrong digest
Mine lasts until it finishes booting... Let me investigate your problem though...
Did you resign it after you altered it? Also resign every apk inside it?
EDIT: Yeah, every thread that says something about No digest or wrong digest states that means the package hasn't been signed correctly. You have to sign every apk packages inside the apk file, and the apk file itself.

Help!
I flashed my Vodafone HTC Magic with splash1 and now it keeps showing me the "android" animation, aint getting anyway...
How do i fix this?

No ROM, stock recovery, need help!

So basically, to save time, I will cut the story time and get to the point. Basically, right now my phone is able to boot into the STOCK recovery mode, but has no ROM installed. when powered on with just the power button, the samsung splash screen shows, then the screen goes black, and thats it.
I am limited by the fact that the stock recovery requires a signed update.zip package to execute it, and have tried to get things to "sign" my own packages but it has not been working. I have the CWM ver. 3.2 update.zip and it was working before with a modified stock recovery that did not check for signatures.
So far it seems there is not a single ROM out there for my phone that is signed that I can flash. If someone knows of one that will even let me get rom manager installed and get things sorted that way that would be awesome! That is really my last idea here, not sure how to flash a new recovery from the terminal or using odin or the android SDK or whatever.
any info is appreciated!
EDIT: most all of the links for useful downloads here are to multiupload.com......which just re-direct to a spam site!!
Use the guide in the second link of my signature.

Kernal Flashing App

I don't have my One S anymore but when I did I came across and app in one of the threads that would find the kernal in the zip file and then flash it and then allow you to boot into recovery to flash the zip file?
I have looked but can't find it, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I know how to search but it is very difficult to use that option when you have no idea what it was called. All I could remember was, i came across it in the middle of an existing thread about something else.
And for the record, I didn't read through every thread looking for it but I looked in the developmental thread for a couple pages and didn't recognize it, I looked through the general for a couple of pages and never recognized it either.
I didn't look in the themes and apps as I never thought to, my doh moment, my apologies.
Again, thanks Sherlock for the help, but the attitude wasn't requested.

CM11 M10 on SM-G900P (KLTE)??

Has anyone successfully flashed the new Cyanogenmod Update on the GS5 from Virgin Mobile? I have been unable to get it to work. The updater script wont let me flash, and even when I delete the first section, the installation is still aborted. Any suggestions?
Pastebin me the updater script and the error you get trying to flash.

I don't get an error. It just says "Installation Aborted"
Weird, would you mind sending me the zip? I'll look at it for you If you can't get it working, try re-downloading, if not I'll start putting out my own nightlies ONLY for kltespr.

Link for the rom^ (add the period where the space is)
sorry, i'm a new user and i can't post a link or a file above 20mb on the forum
All I did to it was delete the first couple of lines off the updater_script to where the first word was "mount".
Thanks!

I downloaded that and it still will not flash. It says I have KLTE and not KLTESPR. Sprint roms work with virgin roms though, but the flash still fails.

The zip you sent has another folder called Rom in the root I'll fix it and send it back to you, next time when you make the zip don't zip the folder, zip the system, meta whatever, and data inside of the folder, zip all of those.

I had the same thing, (YOU SHOULD TRY PAC ROM IN THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT PAGE, MORE FEATURES cx) mess around with the settings, try flashing a modem, take your sim card out and back in, airplane mode and back, odin flash, dunno what else.
Is there a way to just flash cm11? Thats about the extent of my knowledge
It would be great if someone could edit them for the rest of us and post them.

Usually it will give you an error code for why it failed. The typical reasons are a corrupted zip, wrong edify script, or that the ROM isn't meant for your device...or you messed around with your build.prop and now your device thinks it is something else...
