i have looked and tried for the last 2 hours to sign this stupid exe and cannot do so. i took parts from the fuze .exe and moved it into the 1.1 exe. this works on my rom where other versions gave a c++ error also the versions that did not give this error had horrid graphics. so if i can get this signed i think i may have solved a problem. i just need to be able to install via cab and it needs to be signed to do so. the file works perfectly if you just copy it to your phone manually and run it. thanks in advance
If you search for "File Editor Suite", you will find a short thread that has a zip-file with reshacker, a signer (msigner?), an unsigner, and one other gizmo that I can't recall right now.
You may need to unsign first, do your modifications, then re-sign. I think it's a pretty trivial thing to do (haven't done it myself-I just use reshacker).
Edit: you may be trying to use msigner already. If not, hope this helps.
i have tried signer.exe and signtool.exe through dos and neither worked. i will search for what you mentioned.
msigner is the same tool, did not work
After many many tweaking and cooking ROMs for WinMo I want to do same with Android. The reason I cooked for WinMo was speed, but since it is not an issue with mine Desire(but it can be better I want to customize ROM a little bit, so remove some stuff and later maybe add few apps. If this want be a problem I will try to tweak too.
However in WinMo I have always have served kitchen, I just tweaked removed and add few things and job done but here there are no kitchens..yet(I hope somebody will sooner or later post it
So is there anybody who can help to set up kitchen so that I can cook few roms for me and this community?
So if I understanded correctly I need following to start cooking
android sdk
java jdk
signing tool
stock ROM
I have downloaded them all, extracted SDK in D:\HTC Desire\Android SDK, installed Java JDK in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java and I don't know what to do next?
Extract ROM, where(?), extract system.img which is in rom.zip if yes how and where?
Thanks for your help
Benko, you can extract the ROM anywhere you want. But, you don't want images. You should look at Pauls rootedupdate.zip as a starting point. Unzip that.

Ok extracted that rootedupdate.zip and found a lot of apks and obexes so after I delete those files that I dont want how to put that all back together to file that is flashable?
You'll have to resign the zip after removing stuff, otherwise it will give verification errors when trying to flash.
You need to remove the current certificates from the file, there are three files in the META-INF folder - delete those, but keep the update script (the COM folder inside), it's needed for flashing.
I use this little thingy for signatures: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_Keys
Hope this helps!
PS-beware of any dependencies between the various apk's and any framework modding that might be needed, otherwise you'll get more fc's than you can carry; I know I did
PS2- if you want a served kitchen, you'll find one over at Modaco, for a CyanogenMod port (a link is posted in a thread here) - see if that suits you're needs.
PS3- check out the Chef Central sticky here, too - it should be easier to get quicker/more accurate info from the seasoned cooks there

Rezip the folders: meta, system & boot.img.
Then resign them. You can then transfer it to sd and try to flash. If it doesn't boot, then you have to troubleshoot.
May I know that how to change layout of the home screen?
e.g. HTC sense has news/mail widget where first installed and booted.
Where can I change these settings?
Also , I want to know if I made my own rom, and updated to my desire.
If it doesn't boot or anything, can I updated the rootedupdate.zip from Paul to get the desire back working?
Thanks

Ok zipped those folders(META-INF, system, boot.img) in rootedupdate.zip, used autosign.bat to manually sign that .zip and now it should be flashable?
@Kevin-yes if it is not bootable you can flash Pauls rom again

Hopefully. After a few hundred times you'll get the hang of it. ;P
If it boot loops, it won't boot. Try again. Always remember what you're adding and subtracting. Maybe start out with only a couple things.

So for now I even don't need Android SDK?
I downloaded the rom kitchen from Chef Central...Does the rom need to be sign after I built them out in Linux?
Also there are some folders I not understand yet....
Inside system folder - customize, etc, framework, usr and xbin I dont understand yet.
Cause looking at eVil D:'s rom and paul's rom is very different in those. And even paul's rom doesnt have customize folder.
Would like to understand all and see if I can make a rom out.
Thanks
Anybody tried my ROM ?

the kitchen signs the rom automatically. run the menu from terminal ( using linux) and u will see all the what the kitchen is doing.
do not try to compare custom roms ... they are different. some have extrafiles & folders depending on their customisations.
best thing is to compare with an original rom for the desire. and u see what has been added to get X and Y. involves a lot of trials and errors.

P.S anybody has link to CyanogenMod port, anybody uses that kitchen?
I have been searching for litterally DAYS to discover the way to do this, and have had no luck. I've installed the SDK tools on my mac and even downloaded and installed the correct platform.. I feel that I'm really close but i'm at my end here and about to give up... please someone provide me with the simple one-sentence answer that I know is out there SOMEWHERE. I just dont know what the command is that I need to type into my terminal or how i need to phrase it.
And if there is NO way for me to do it.. maybe someone out there that wants to REALLY go above and beyond can download my .zip file and then re-upload it to megaupload for me to download. Since I'm a new user the forums wont let me post outside links.. so please PM me for the link if you're up for it. Im begging someone to help me here I've been trying for so long. Thanks in advance.

here great lil dropplet a droplet is where you drop the file you want to be signed inthis case onto it and it makes a signed version
Description:
RegawMOD Zip Signer is a tool for Windows that allows one to sign an unsigned zip (ie: a complete ROM zip, a theme zip, or any update zip) to enable flashing from a custom recovery on your Android device.
Usage:
To use, just drag the zip that you want signed onto the program's icon and it will sign it for you. All you do is drag and drop, and it signs it! Can be run from anywhere on the computer

Please post here with feedback so I can make it better, if necessary
Awesome, thank you sir. I would test it out, but I just switched my laptop over to Linux (don't ask why because I am questioning myself right now.)
But I will add a mirror for you because I know some people have issues with 4Shared.
MegaUpload Mirror
exactly what I was waiting for! Thanks for another great tool!!!!
thank you sir.
would we still need to delete the three files: CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF prior to zipping and then drag/drop, or is it not necessary to do so?? Thanks in advance.
edit: looks like deleting those files and then signing them re-adds those files into the zip
Thanks regaw. I have been trying to find a way to sign my zip file.

Not sure about that, I usually just go ahead and do that anyways.. I in fact have never tested it without deleting those 3 cert files, so I wouldn't know. I'll test it tonight.

No prob Hopefully more coming soon!
I am uploading it to a real server now, no more 4shared
Awesome. I am going to be starting my themeing project this week and this will save me a step. Great job.
If you like this, check out a cool program I just made for Omegasuns BareBone App and Sense Removal Script! Allows full editing of the zip's script without having to resign it afterward.

Thanks! I'll be saving this for when I flash new roms.
link is down? or am i down?
Hmmm, that's odd, the entire server is down... I'm contacting the owner right now to see what's up.. all of my files are down for right now...
Download worked fine. Script worked like a charm.
Thanks
Is there a reason why it just sits on "Checking zip...." for 10mins and doesn't do anything? I've done this several times.
I can't get this to work
This thing is awesome. Fyi.
Thanks a lot for the program. Do I have to follow any special procedures if I want to sign a rom, or is it really as simple as removing the apks I dont want, adding the ones I do want, changing the boot animation and dragging and dropping the changed rom? Most roms come with programs that I would rather remove before flashing and there are a lot of little things I like to add before flashing--saves me the trouble of removing them w/ TI.
Cheers!
nice work, glad to see you in the evo forums
I can't seem to get this to work. Says it has created a new .zip file but it's not listed. any help??

Try searching for the file. Whenever I use it, it says it created the signed file in the same directory as the original file, BUT it was actually in C:\documents and settings\user.
Okay here is my problem I followed the following tutorial step by step until I got to step 7
addictivetips.com/mobile/install-gingerbread-based-miui-custom-rom-on-samsung-captivate/
After getting to that step they tell you to download cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar
from
sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/
I have searched everywhere for it and have come up with noting. I tried downloading the .zip file for it but odin doesn't take. zip files it only takes .tar .md5 etc..
If this is the right place to find this file please tell me how to go about getting the file. If someone can be so generous as to give me some in depth insite I would be very grateful. I am really lost right now and have my phone stuck in download mode as to not brick it.
Again thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help me find this file.
BTW I have a samsung captivate if that helps any. oh and sorry for the inconvenience of not posting a direct link. since im new here I am not allowed to post links.
Whats in the zip files
Does it contain he files you need
I am not quite sure what you mean when you say does it contain the files I need. But if you are talking about if I have all the files and completed alll the steps in the tutorial then yes I have.
I just cannot find the file mentioned in the tutorial that is called cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar........ I really need someone to point me in the right direction as far as this file goes?
Someone please help me it's been 8 hours that I have my phone in dowload mode as to not brick it. I just need this file... PLEASE HELP
Can someone please reply... I really need to use my phone again. I CANNOT MAKE PHONE CALLS... PLEAS E HELP ME
Try changing the zip extension to tar if that's what it's supposed to be. If you haven't already, unzip the file and see if what you need is inside.
EDIT: You may also want to check the Captivate forums here.
Why didn't you download everything before starting the process?
