[Tools][Windows]

Hey all.
Have been doing Android dev for a short time, but Windows dev for a while.
I wrote myself two little .bat (batch) files for making a couple things quicker for me. These are crude little batches, nothing complicated here.
The first is LogcatBat, which is a little batch file for viewing logcat on your PC using the ADB binaries.
The second is ShellBat, which opens up an Android shell terminal on your PC connected to your phone through ADB as well.
Now, as stated before, THESE FILES ARE CRUDE. There isn't any support for them, and if you use them you do so at your OWN RISK. This is pretty simple stuff, but it can be used for HARM IF YOU'RE STUPID...
...So, don't be.
Now, you have to right click and save these files as .bat files - just clicking the links will generate the text of the batch commands. Also keep in mind these two files assume that your android directory is at C:\android-sdk-windows\tools. If they are not, email me, and tell me the location of your ADB folder so I can remake the file for you. Or, you can edit them yourself (this is Open Source, of course :wink:.

Well I guess that it will help a handful of noobs out there.
Most of the script (I'd say about 98%) is ascii art.

LOL I had to throw in a little "sumpin' sumpin'" more than what I used it for daily.
And it's TARGETED towards noobs, because I am one myself.

Also, those who download this PLEASE comment/reply to this to let me know how you like, dislike, or just what's up!

You might include instructions for customizing the directory structure, ex mine is c:\android and I have modded my path var to include the location of adb and fastboot.
Sorry, I should have continued reading. Still instructions and maybe how to set up path might be useful.

Cool to see more batch scripts, i love em as u can tell from my signature. They're so simple yet so powerful. Heres a tip to improve em, u can use errorlevel's to check if adb is in the $path. If its not in the path u cud perhaps ask for user-input to the directory where his/her sdk directory is and "cd" to that before executing commands.
Let me know if u need any help, im no pro but ive been working with them for a while now. Refer to my apk manager script, the top few lines are where i check if java/adb are installed on ur system.

Actually I used your script and found that I don't have Java installed. But when I installed the latest 1.6 JDK, they still can't detect it! May I know why?

If u can go to command prompt and type
java -version
if u see command not found, then java is not in ur path. If u do find it however, im intrigued as to why apk manager is complaining, in any case ignore the complaint.
Fyi, redirect any issues to its thread on the g1 forums, i dont wanna hijack this thread/easier to manage 1 thread instead of 2.

zipping problem

hi friends,
i have a big problem with my pc,
i have tried many zipping softwares but every time i want to install .zip files from the recovery it shows:"installation aborted"!
it's really bad for me because i should zip folders with my phone! & sometimes i can't...
can you help me pls?

You are not making things clear?!!
firstly,your PC can't zip files or your phone?
and what has zipping softwares gotta do with your phone's recovery???
you can't just zip any folder and apply it your recovery!
if you are having issues with recovery, follow this guide and install latest recovery.
if you have issue with zipping software in PC check you antivrus first..maybe it isn't allowing you to create .zip/.rar
Or just make a virtual machine on pc and zip your folders if you don't want to re-install the whole OS again.

A zip file has to be "flashable" for it to successfully install anything to your phone through recovery (with an update script, etc, etc).
Also, English only please.

i have tried , this time it worked with deflate compressation method via 7zip, storing without compressing via 7zip,zipping using windows, & store by winrar.
it is strange!
but it didn't work by bzip2,deflate64, lzma & ppmd methods.
i should try with something else too.
thx

& also if i just decompile an apk file & then compile it without any changes,then it won't work!:crying:

try 7-zip 7-zip.org or use xplore app for android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en to dicomplie or make flashable zip this app is working great for me.

[GUIDE] Deodexing your custom rom the easy way

Hello Guys,
@android.zealot.fervor wanted me to post this guide so why not
There is already a guide by Panda00 but that one is a bit outdated...
Requirments:
- A Windows PC
- Zip opener (7zip,winrar,winzip)
- Dsixda's kitchen and cygwin
- sgs2ext4.jar
- linux reader
- A Brain and hands
So let's begin:
Step 1)
- Download the stock firmware from sammobile samsung-updates search for yourself and open the file with 7zip inside the file you will find a md5 file open that with 7zip it should give you a error ignore that! Take out the system.img and open up sgs2ext4.jar and drop the system.img into there now after some time the system.img.ext4 will be placed onto your desktop!
Step 2)
- Open up Linux Reader and mount the system.img.ext4 drive open it up and take out only the app and framework folder save them to your desktop!
Step 3)
- Now make a WORKING_DEODEX folder name it exact as i say you and make inside that folder a system folder! drop the app&framework folder in the system folder and copy WORKING_DEODEX to C:/kitchen or where ever you have kitchen on your PC!
Step 4)
- Open up kitchen with cygwin by typing in the following:
cd C:/kitchen and hit Enter! (I take the C drive as example but your drive letter could be diffrent!!!)
sh menu Hit Enter again!
Now it should load up kitchen if not do not ask me!
go in kitchen to advanced options by typing in 0 and after that go to 11 now select the correct api version it should be 17!
Now type in b for deodexing both folders! let kitchen do his work here this can take up to 20min!!!
Step 5)
When kitchen is done go back to your C:/kitchen drive and take out the system folder of the WORKING_DEODEX and drop it onto your desktop!
What you need to do now is download the zip file from the attachments and drop the system folder in it!
Step 6)
Copy the zip to your device and flash enjoy your deodexed phone!
Credits:
Panda00 for his zip file
CoolDevelopment for his CWM

Some things you need to know:
1) secemail_j will not deodex!!!
2) you must be on the firmware you are deodexing!
3) Install custom recovery for flashing

[Guide] Unpack-Repack Boot, Recovery .img without Kitchen

I have searched a lot, but couldn't find any post like this. So I thought I would post it here. This is NOT purely my work, and I do not take credit for it as such .
NO NEED ANDROID KITCHEN FOR UNPACK REPACK IMG's
This is the easiest way to unpack .img files with extracted ramdisk. So, Lets Start
At first Download the tool from HERE
For MTK (chineese) phones - use MTK_unpack.bat (MTK_pack.bat)
For android standard phones - use STD_unpack.bat (STD_pack.bat)
Here I am showing you about MTK (chineese) phones .img unpack-repack....
Instructions
1. Extract the file in any where you want
2. You will see this files
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Then Copy your .img file in this folder like this
Remember the file should be named as boot.img or recovery.img
4. Just Drag and Drop .img files into unpack.bat for unpacking. Then you will see this.
5. A folder will be created there. I unpacked boot.img so here is the all file you want
6. To repack, again just drag and drop the folder into pack.bat. you will see this
7. New .img file created. Rename it as you want. So All done. Enjoy.
[ NOTE: It's Only for Windows]

My device is LG GX F310, original boot.img 24MB, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx0NlR3rjLYeUS14YmxESGc3bWc/edit?usp=docslist_api after unpacked and repacked new boot.img only has 11MB. And can't boot into system. Could you help me?

Work with MT6752?

this tool isn't working under Windows 10, that unpack all files except "rmdisk" folder.
the rmdisk is empty...

I tried to use this tool to unpack the lienageOS recovery ROM from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s5neolte/install
When I change the name and drag it to unpack it, it doesn't work and I get these error messages.
'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program o - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
pastebin.com
Am I doing something obvious wrong?

I tried it for my stock boot.img(Mi 11 lite 5g NE-Snapdragon 778G) and the unpacked items didn't satisfy me. Looks like it isn't for snapdragon chipset. BTW I'm looking for similar tool to extract kernel from boot.img of this device.Thnaks though for uploading the tool.

[Tutorial] Want to customize your Boot Logo? Here's how :D

Sooo... I personally wanted to change my boot logo.bin just like i did on my 1+1 and moto-x 2014
i typed around searching and reading for the tools and commands and some sample images to use im my tests
WARNINGS/Disclaimers & Responsibilities
If YOU choose to follow this tutorial, YOU & ONLY YOU are held responsible for any mistakes here on out..
if following the commands and screenies are followed step by step and correctly, you should not have a fail at all, ive now done this to my personal device 6 or 7 times without fail..
My device is ROOTED, Yours should be as well with twrp installed, like a typical tweaker/flashaholic
i DIDNT make a backup because i trust enough in my skills and knowledge to NOT always make a mistake,
when i do make a mistake without a backup i suffer, YOU are responsible for making your own backups if wanted...
the LOGO partition is 16mb in size according to this programs root access information, plenty of play space

I personally used the original OnePlus drivers that the phone has the built in installer for,
Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer from @shimp208 HERE,
the above mentioned DiskInfo app, and logoInjector.exe from HERE
and believe it or not, MS-Paint & patience
PLUS... most of all, Lots of READING and RESEARCH,
HOW TO
So you want to do this i guess then eh?!
well, lets get on it then
first of all, download and extract to your desired area the op2logoInjector.zip package linked to HERE
Open said *.zip and look at each of the .png's included to decide which you want to edit,
edit them in your preferred image editor to your liking, PLEASE reserve the ORIGINAL filename structure
Once you've finished the edits, simply run the op2logoinjection.bat to inject the files back into the logo.bin
when program finishes, it will produce a file called "modified.logo.bin", take the original "logo.bin" file and rename it to "logo.bin.orig"
take that "modified.logo.bin" file just created and rename it to " logo.bin ",
then proceed to execute the "ADB_Reboot.bat" file to reboot into fastboot mode ** MUST HAVE ADB DEBUGGING ENABLED **
once in fastboot, then proceed to execute the "FastBoot_LOGO_FLASH.bin" to flash your modified logo.bin
if succesful then execute the "Reboot_Device.bat"
Here is a sample of my custom edited logo.bin contents
CREDITS & Thanks
i give ALL credits to the original content owners below, and me for the edits and batch file and testing on personal device..
 @makers_mark for the logoInjector.exe and commands,
@oneplus for the device itself and logo.bin and most of image content used,
@shimp208 for the Minimal ADB and FastBoot Installer
AND anyone else whos content i may have used and forgotten to mention, my apologies, please let me know if so!
PLEASE do let me know if there is something i can add or streamline in this process
and DO feel free to share your custom edits here if you like so we can amass a gathering and localize the OP2 logo editing here

reserved #1
Going to be adding some pre-made by me custom logo.bin's here for others to try if they like
Stay Tuned!

RESERVED #2 just in case

Maybe a MOD could possibly STICKY this ??
so it would help all who wish to customize there boot logo's

Isn't this already existed here and I guess @makers_mark is the main author.. Please give proper credits.
Pardon me if I missed any of such credits.

Credits are there to @makers_mark, and permission already granted to use the tool
and yes that @makers_mark has a thread regarding the tool and how to use it,
but there is alot of stuff not explained clearly for some to go ahead and flash stuff like this,
this hopes to help minimize the risk and maximize the experience of customizing your device to your liking easily..
hence the batch scripts and tools and samples all included in a single file double hosted so that others such as myself,
can easily find this thread if interested in modifying ones boot logo's.. is that a fair explanation as to why i posted this ?

Sure mate, I have no issue in an identical but a more thorough and helpful thread. I guess your explanation is enough and if you have the permission from the author itself then all is great in every universe.. Cheers..

No worries, and thanks for the care to make sure a thread is valid and credited properly
good forum etiquette
OP has been edited to clean the code in the credits section so its more clear in the drop down.
* also, the MAIN reason of tutorial post, seeing as the forums for this device dont seem to pertain all this info for
the specific task at hand(boot logo edits) and are fairly new with dev's and contributors, or progress is slow in the forums,
then i feel like id like to provide some of my help

here's my custom boot logo for my op2

My apologies for the delay in bringing out some zips, just switched to a new dell i5 latitude with Linux mint 64bit, getting it all setup and getting used to it..

Finally.. Some progress, my first switch to Linux..

Here's my custom Boot logo

Gets Stuck
So, i did everything and followed the steps perfectly, but when I enter fastboot mode, the programm that is supossed to inject the logo.bin gets stuck and just says waiting for device, any suggestions?

Thanks for the guide, it looks pretty helpful for anyone who wants to do it, as soon as I saw the tools and the name of the partition I skipped the guide since everything else simply already became obvious to me without having to read. I didn't know that nowadays the logos have their own separate partition, back in my days the kernel had them incorporated.
Might make some flashable zips :^).

One more suggestion to the op. I guess it's better to add in the OP on android version this work and on which this doesn't so no one breaks their devices. I hard bricked my 1+1 once.

Hey !
Thanks man, it worked !
I'm on OOS 3.5.6 !
