[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!

Credits:
birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!
testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch.!
Thanks to SDX
Background:
flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into kernel /sbin, etc).
Description:
This Android App is a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.
This app allows the flashing of kernels and recovery images in normal android mode.
No recovery or adb needed!
HTC EVO support includes flashing of anykernel type .zip files, boot.img type zip files and recovery.img files!
Current Device Support:
Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices
Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery flashing: HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO, Nexus S/Nexus S 4G & LG Optimus
Full Kernel (zImage) Flashing: Samsung Epic
Full Recovery Flashing: HTC Shift (need testers for kernel flashing)
Future Support:
Looking for feedback regarding making the app more user friendly or simplier to use for the HTC EVO. Thanks!
Install Directions:
Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.
My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk

FAQ:
Q: Will this app support a marketplace to pick and chose kernels from?
A: No. Use Kernel Manager!

So this can be used to flash boot animations as well?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Wow, joey, that sounds pretty awesome!
So if I flash to a different kernel from the app will the phone reboot itself? I'm guessing it would have to because your phone would have to rebuild the Dalvik cache after the app wiped it to install the new kernel...
And if that's the case, is it a hot restart? I know if you do a hot reboot with 4G enabled sometimes it breaks the 4G.
Anyway just some questions, gonna download the app and give it a shot. Thanks for sharing! Hope you don't get flamed for posting in the wrong section, I think an app like this belongs in the dev section.

Do you have some decent error checking in this to prevent users from flashing something stupid? I know you can't prevent everything, and I'm looking forward to some "lols I flashed a radio to my boot image and now it won't work!"
Anyway, cool app. Kind of like Kernel Manager, but with some extra sauce on the side.

Great question. Originally I viewed loading boot animations as out of scope for tihs app as the boot animation is generally a single .zip file stored in /data/local or /system/media. Flash_image was designed by google to load images into specific partitions on the phone, i.e. boot (kernel), recovery, etc. Some phones varied in what was stored in the partitions but I don't think I've ever seen animations stored in a single partition requiring flash image to load.
In the sense of the term "flash" being used pretty liberally to "apply" or "load" something on the phone, I could easily add support to load boot animation.zip files onto the phone, but I think that would be out of scope for this app as the core linux binary, flash_image (app is named after and uses) doesn't support boot animation loading.
It is definitely a good idea and perhaps worth me putting together a small app to help manage boot animations? By manage I'm thinking, loading, backing up, etc?

Yea, the phone will definitely require a reboot after flashing a kernel with clear dalvik or cache checked and the app will prompt for reboot. Clearing dalvik/cache while android is running, in my experience, will require a reboot almost immediately and the app requires this with a large warning against waiting to reboot.
Post got moved pretty quickly to a diff board. I did think the app was more useful for developers to test their own kernels/recoveries (as that is what I use it for), but seems the moderator disagreed. Either way, I do appreciate the support!

Definitely have a lot of error checking in here. In fact, this app has way more alert dialog boxes than any app I've wrote before. I prompt and ask for confirmation at multiple points. Owning an EVO and developing for the last 11 months on it have given me great insight in how to customize the app for the HTC EVO. I don't think it is very easy to accidently flash the wrong .img w/o confirming at LEAST once the action you're taking!
If there are points in the workflow you think could use another warning or prompt, let me know and I can definitely add it in!
Thanks for the feedback!

This is a very nice tool. I know this will come in handy. Thanks

Nice ..... good work!!!!!!

Honestly, your app should drastically reduce all the posting where people ask "how do I flash xxxx?" because now they can use a GUI to do the work for them!
Nice work!

Brilliant app!! This well save a lot of ware and tear on my vol and power buttons!

Damnit not cool, i tried to flash a kernel using this in cm7 and it wiped my entire phone lol, thank you nandroid!

not sure there is anyway the app could wipe your entire phone as there is no command in the app to do that .. also my test environment for the last month has been the htc evo with cm7 ... ive been flashing tiamat and toastcfh back and forth to test each new feature! if you could send across a logcat next time and tell me the exact steps you took, which kernel you selected (link if possible), where it was flashed from, which options you checked, that would help me look for bugs. thanks!
released new updated version 1.0.9. cleaned up some more of the code and improved some of the features! appreciate the feedback and support. will prob make some more improvements and release another update soon

Tutorials/FAQ: ​For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated ​
Changelog: ​v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.​

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.

@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Youth version reuploaded, battery fixed!

I am having problems with this rom, i have followed the development of this rom, i have flashed multiple versions of the youth rom, and the elite version.
Sometimes at the first boot, it would say "phone memory corrupted, please format"
And sometimes, after a while of using it, it would suddenly freeze, or show a black screen, and if i then pull the battery to make it respond, the whole phone would have reset itself to a few days ago, meaning i lost installed apps of the past few days, whatsapp chat history, pictures taken which are on my sd card!
If anyone could help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

Introduction:
We can all agree with the fact that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is one of the most important tools when it comes to developing for android, uninstalling bloatware, flashing recoveries, flashing custom roms, and changing the way our Android devices work entirely. However, if you want ADB you have to download the entire SDK just to use a few files. Well this tool solves this issue. Entirely based on and inspired by Snoop05's 15 Seconds ADB Installer, this tool includes a few features he was planning on adding but never got around to adding. This is the 15 Seconds ADB Installer Reborn!
Features:
Built-in Updater - A powerful and stable built-in updater insures you with the latest updates for ADB/Fastboot, the installer itself, and Google Drivers.
Compact and Light - Coming in at only 10MB the installer is light, portable, reliable, and powerful!
Unique UI - Instead of being text based the UI is interactive via buttons.
Safe and Reliable - Programmed in pure batch, and being open source you can view the code at anytime!
Downloads:
Version 1.0 - Download - Mirror #1 - Mirror #2
Version 2.0 - Download - Mirror #1 - Mirror #2
Installation instructions:
To install download the latest version from the links below and launch it (You will need Administrative rights to install). From here all you have to do is follow the instructions given by the installer to install ADB/Fastboot, and Google Drivers.
Changelog:
Version 2.0
Merged updater with main script.
Improved updates UI.
Improved update speed.
Improved main menu UI.
Added the option to skip installing ADB if you want to install drivers only.
Added toast notifications to update UI.
Fixed bug that caused installing adb to hang.
Added an "About" page.
Fixed an issue where the XDA Forum button was redirecting to the wrong forum.

Reserved.
reserved for future edit.

Thanks a lot!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the new tool! Have a fantastic day friend!

So a while back I installed minimal adb, worked great for about 10 min because the program I was using at the time wouldn't work with that adb library. So began a journey of getting different versions of adb and in doing so my %PATH% was starting to get a little embarrassing. So one day I decided to clean it up by misclicking and deleting the entire entry... Since that day I was unable to get ADB/Fastboot working 100%. It worked but would just give errors all over saying stupid things like ADB not found and such even though all the commands worked. I tried multiple installers, cleaners and spend hours adding entries to my user and system environment settings... I just happened to see this today and figured what the heck, it can't get much worse so ill try it... seconds later I can now use ADB without having to write extra command line crap to ignore/silence errors. The funny part though is everything this does I had done manually but somehow it worked with this....
Thanks I appreciate it

Great tool and packaging.
Actually very clever usage of batch features, I didn't know buttons could be emulated in that way.
Is this installer available also on github?

Thanks! The button aspect actually isn't a native batch feature, the buttons are injected into cmd through the use of C# and a few hybrid batch files.
Unfortunately, the installer isn't available on Github... but I can add it if you'd like.

So a while back I installed minimal adb, worked great for about 10 min because the program I was using at the time wouldn't work with that adb library. So began a journey of getting different versions of adb and in doing so my %PATH% was starting to get a little embarrassing. So one day I decided to clean it up by misclicking and deleting the entire entry... Since that day I was unable to get ADB/Fastboot working 100%. It worked but would just give errors all over saying stupid things like ADB not found and such even though all the commands worked. I tried multiple installers, cleaners and spend hours adding entries to my user and system environment settings... I just happened to see this today and figured what the heck, it can't get much worse so ill try it... seconds later I can now use ADB without having to write extra command line crap to ignore/silence errors. The funny part though is everything this does I had done manually but somehow it worked with this....
Thanks, I appreciate it

Dang, sounds like one heck of a journey! If that happened to me I don't know what I would of done! It would have driven me up the wall!
Anyways, I'm so glad I was able to help you out and bring some sanity back!

Mac version?

Thanks! The button aspect actually isn't a native batch feature, the buttons are injected into cmd through the use of C# and a few hybrid batch files.

I just took the 2.0 installer, and updated it with the latest drivers/adb/fastboot and repackaged it, and added 2.1 to keep track of changes.

agreed, but that may be hard, because Google doesn't give direct links, you have to accept ToS before downloading. So manually is the next best option.

Well the installer is a script basically, it pulls files from gdrives but I don't think those are current. I'm sure there is a way to download the latest from google direcly and install it, but my scripting skills haven't reached that stage as yet.

Do you have a working GSI image? Others have infinite booting.

All working good here, even backup & restore tested and working
Well done and congratulations, great job!
I've sent you a couple of cups of coffee to say thank you

Yes just dont use android 12.1 , they cause bootloop , you can use this pixel experience gsi https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases/tag/v402.1
But i think they are far from stable for our flip (refresh rate flicker, outer screen logic is missing , no screen lock when locking the phone,etc)

If custom ROMs exist for the Z Fold 3, that'll be perfect for Android 12L ROMs lol

Offtopic but for our device. Do you have any idea on how to properly edit vendor/build.prop . I tried editing with es,fx,mixplorer but failed, i tried to remount as rw and tried, still no win. The buildprop gets empty whenever i try to make any changes in it. I even edited in internal and then pasted in vendor still no use. Any help would be appreciated or direct me to any place where i could ask this. TIA

There's no empty space on /vendor to do that.
Try removing recovery-from-boot.p to gain some space.
