I happened upon this link http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/downloads where you can find a stock tegra2 froyo image. It includes system.img and recovery.img.
Given this image, would it stand to reason that we could easily create a stock 2.2 ROM with a proper extract-files.sh? Seems like it'd be worth a shot.
That's the system.img where the original performance pack was created from.
This is the one that I bookmarked (no files there, yet): http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/devkit-ventana

Roebeet, have you checked the page recently? There are files for both Windows and Linux. I'm not entirely sure what files you are looking for but thought I would give you a head's up that there are files linked to on that page now.

You missed the post in Android Development. We found those files already. Thank you for looking though!
Yeah, I'm looking now - they made some changes even on the old dev kit. New stuff to play with!

Howdy,
I just built and installed android 1.1 on my dev w/o major problems. But how do you create an update.zip? I tried dumping system.img,userdata.img and root.img into a zip file, but it failed to verify with a signature error.
Thanks for any help!
Might sound like a silly question, but did you sign the update.zip?

Nope. Is there a tutorial on how to sign? (btw, I'm on either OS X or Linux).
Thanks!
all u had to do is take a look over at the theme subforum and u would have found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471586
it has apk signer and .zip signer as well
Thanks! I appreciate it

Never mind. It looks like the sdk has the java tools I'll need
reviving old thread, i searched and this is all i could find related to what i'm asking. I downloaded a system.img and boot.img that are very, very, very bare. They're almost stock android (nothing but the system, phone, camera, settings, calendar, calculator, and alarm). there aren't even any ringtones, notifications, ui sounds, or alarms. nothing. the thing is bare, i think even the drivers are broken because i can't end calls. anyway, this is perfect for me because i want to use it to study android and get more acquainted with it before i start actually building from source. I pretty much want to know what every single file does and what files apks depend on. Anyway, this rom is good for study, but i want to be able to make an update out of it once i start adding things, but how do i go about extracting all files from the system and boot imgs?
If any developer, (or just any person in general) needs the extracted system.img from android 2.3, I have it right here

Have fun! I know infinitybiff is.
Already done this myself, but I am sure a bunch of others will like to have it easily downloaded pre-extracted. Thanks!

No problem.
Hey everyone!
On the rom I currently use there are about 20 apk's I have no need for. What I do is download the rom, and individually delete the apk's before flashing the rom. The thing is I flash quite often (cheeky, I know ) and this is getting quite frustrating.
Ideally I want a script that does this all for me. I found one but it seems be for running on the phone, after the apk's have been installed. Does anyone know how I can create a script for the PC that does this before I even install the rom?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Oh and here's the thread I found that looked relevant...

Over what OS?
If in Windows (or any M$ OS, incl. DOS) you can make a batch file.
My file is adjunted as example (modify as you like, put in the root dir -obviously to the unzipped ROM- and run. Rezip and maybe re-sign)
salu2
Thank you. This is exactly the kind of thing I am after. If I had of been born just a few years earlier I would probably know all about batch scripts. Fortunately, I just missed the DOS days!
Anyway, I puzzled out / looked up the commands in the script you posted. Based on that I extracted the rom, then placed the batch file within it, so that the cd (current directory) command runs correctly.
Unfortunately this mucks up the signing on the rom. Do you re-sign your CM7 roms every time you do this or is there an easier way?
Edit: My PC is Win 7, 64bit, soon to be Win 8 Consumer Preview.
Edit: The roms do not need resigning.
I don't re-sign the ROM, simply flash again over Clockworkmod Recovery.. and work.
But, you can:
1) sign using Auto-Sign....
2) Click [Thanks]...

You're welcome.
Updated zip in my first Post.

Hey again. I was hoping to build on the script you kindly provided. At the moment I am using various alpha roms where the exact apk's present changes fairly often. It would be great if I could see the outcome of each action. This way I would know if the apk has had it's name changed or been removed. How would I enable this?
I saw a few people post that they built ROMs for this device using dsixda's kitchen. Just wanted to know if you had to create a 'hammerhead' file for the storage mount points since this isn't included in the supported devices (obviously because the tool isn't being updated anymore).
If you created a mount point file, can you please post the contents so I can reuse (fyi... I've installed this on a Mac, but should be able to reverse engineer one from a different OS)? I'm a bit of a noob using this kitchen and just got it configured on my mac yesterday. Just looking to mess around with it a bit for lack of a better thing to do.
I´ve also created device files for several devices, it´s not as hard as it sounds, as long as you´ve read the OP in this thread ?

You need to unpack one Stock Kernel of the device you want to add the support to the kitchen, check the contents of the RAMdisk for the required mounting points and add them yourself ?

That's how I got to this point to begin with was by going through that thread. I just don't want to get the syntax wrong and I'm not 100% sure what all those parms mean in that template file. Plus the info in the recovery.fstab file seemed to be quite different from the ones already in that folder. I was hoping someone would be able to just give me a copy so I can check my syntax. Sort of a learning experience for me.
i will try
https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-a2-lite/
or this one seems to be even more up to date (credits to a1291762 for finding it)
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/daisy/roms-global-stable/
Apparently nobody in this forum has ever posted a link to this blog.
This blog seems to be made by a xda member using automated scripts to scrap download links for ROMs.
It seems to be quite up to date and also includes the fastboot zip for the most current security patch v10.0.15.0.PDLMIXM , which I haven't seen in this forum yet.
Not sure how trustworthy these sites are but they actually just link to the official Xiaomi OTA download site(https://bigota.d.miui.com), thus the downloaded zips are the official one.

It could be useful for some OTA files specially for the latest v10.0.14.0 and v10.0.15.0 (wrongly placed in fastboot section) but about the fastboot roms the thread opened here is more updated and complete https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871 it contains the latest fastboot rom for our device, v10.0.13.0.
I recently found this site.
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/daisy/roms-global-stable/
That looks like every fastboot and full OTA (site calls them "recovery") to me.

Thx that site seems to be even more up to date, I will include it in the top post if you don't mind. However it is very "minimalistic" I mean there is no information at all about this site available and at least on xiaomifirware you get some extra information blog posts on top and they actually have a disclaimer that they are not affiliated with Xiaomi.
However it seems both sites are actually linking to the official https://bigota.d.miui.com site when downloading the files, thus they should be kinda trustworthy as long as they actually linkt to the official xiami site.
The files from these sites aren't made to be used on Mi Flasher. How I can use these files? TWRP?

The .tgz files are designed to be used with fastboot/MiFlash. Not every version has one of these.
The .zip (Recovery) files are OTAs that get flashed by the system. I don't know how people usually unpack and flash those but it is possible.

I know about .tgz files. Just unpack and use with Mi Flasher. But these big zip files aren't. Inside have a big "payload.bin" file. Maybe is for use with stock recovery or TWRP, but I'm unsure.

Files with extension tgz are full global rom to be used with MiFlash tool, fastboot or EDL and first you have to unpack it.
Files with extension zip are OTA updates to be flashed through system when it does use the scripts of the stock recovery (when you receive that you have an update) or totally through a custom recovery like TWRP and you don´t need to unpack it (inside within other files you will see payload.bin file)
All the rest that can be founded out there is unnoficial, adapted roms at the like of the user.
Hi guys. Do you know which firmware version is the last android 9 version?
