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.

Uploading it now
Some very very bad battery leaking...80% in one night and sync was off!
Thank you so much eViL D: and everybody else for help
Ok I also want to create my own rom but I don't know how to sign it..
Any help would be most appreciated.
ROM Link here

I hope it works
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.

I just can't find a way to extract what is in the .img files.
It's such a small file so shouldn't be hard to find.
Downloading it from the Play store does not resolve the issue
How can I re-acquire the needed .odex file and/or extract what I may need from the .img files?

Do you have a Backup of your system - if so restore your backup. If not google extract .img files and look for software.
No backup...I just need to find a way to extract the files from the .img files of which I did google but nothing useful came up

Why the hell is it impossible for someone to find a way to get such a small measly file to get this stupid update to go through!!
Which update are you trying to apply? You will need the pre-updated file. 4g updates were 3.2.4 and 3.2.6.

Well first, getting angry because others may not be interested in your issue is not the way to get help LOL. If you tried everything else, Why don't
you try flash the Stock 4G XOOM Firmware Download [4G|MZ602-HLK75D]
##PLEASE NOTE##
This file are from Motorola's Development site, I will not take liability with anything that happens with your device if something goes wrong.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS FILE ON ANYTHING BUT THE VERIZON WIRELESS MOTOROLA XOOM Z602 (4G MODEL) OR YOU WILL HAVE A SHINEY PAPER WEIGHT!!!!
dungeondefenders.odex anyone?
Such a small file to find yet only option seems to flash...
Make a nandroid backup of your current setup...restore stock, pull file, restore backup. Or try just opening the img file with winrar.

Because that's the first thing you do when you are going to flash stuff. If you had done this the first time you wouldn't be in this situation.

did u ever find the file? if so can you send it to me. i have a similar issue
Hello All, this is my first post in Xda-forum, I love they way u all interact and help each other out here...well u see I hav a Allwinner A10 based tablet called Ice Xtreme which is very cheap in India do a google search on this tablet. well the company did not provide any software and I had corrupted mine while trying to use a custom recovery which was not from a allwinner a10 based tab. Anyways after alot of fuss I got it fixed but still they did not provide me with the livesuit image. I looked for ways to backing up my current working firmware from my tablet but found none. So after alot of searching I found this Script at a forum which can dump the recovery, the bootloader, boot partitions and system and data folder. But throughout my experience with this Livesuit firmware things I see that the drivers inside the vendor folder are also important as no two tablets have same chips (some thing will be different) so I modified the script and build it into a script that takes most of the directories (excluding mount,as it has only ur SD n extSD data) The dump thus created may help in modifying another image to suit ur needs.
I have only been able to backup directories and boot,recovery,bootloader partition thanks to the original script. I have no Idea how to send/restore these files to the device after flashing another rom to restore most of the things. Any help would be a boon. Thank u all for ur indirect help in bringing out the geek in me.
Try it!! & post feedbacks and suggestions...
This helps to backup the rom files with only adb. Just start the batch file & relax while ur ROM is being dumped.n it will also keep a copy on ur SDcard too.
Just use
#adb backup
for back up and
#adb restore
for restoring
# command...
But will it be possible to extract different files???!!
Hey, suppose I wanna flash a custom ROM which doesnt hav all of my boards drivers in it. So if I backup using adb can I thn restore driver files from the stock ROM backup to the new Custom ROM...
how to write backup ???
extension *.tgz??/
need expalain for restore backup..
thx..
Hi,
As the title suggests I'm looking for the original firmware of the Alcatel OT 4033D because, after I bricked mine, I can't find a working ROM for my phone (I've tried various ROM for MT6572 processor and Android 4.2.2 but I don't read the SD card and the SIM (Although setting the correct IMEI))
If someone is own this device could make me a dump? I just need the file "system.img", the others I already have.
PS: It's okay if it's not the file .Img but the zip of the partition with the files contained in /system
Thanks in advance to who answers C:

Thank you for that n1osbb2;51494733.
I also have a bricked one, it gets stuck at animation. I can boot into stock recovery.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix it?
Another idea is if we could change the firmware version number to something lower, then the Alacatel "Mobile Upgrade S" would be essentially forced to overwrite it. Right now it sees my phone's version as up to date and stops there.
So... Is it at all possible to alter the firware version number on the phone?
edit
n1osbb2, could you please take a backup with MTK Droid Root & Tools as well?
You can find it here under Android Software and Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, the backup by MTK droid tools fails everytime, I'm trying to debug the error.. If I have sucess I'll upload it.
BTW you can try another methods:
-Flash the CWM using MTK droid tools ( if you want the modified recovery,img I can upload it, or if u want MTK generates the img automatically: there is a guide on google; and then you can flash my backup without user data trought the CWM
If u want CWM make adb works, so you can do a backup of your firmware in order to can come back in the prevoiuos situation if it's needed
OR
-Using the latest version of SP flash tools, u can flash the system.img that u can find in my CWM backup. The latest version have no bugs with the generation of the scatter file, so it could work, but I'm not sure
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand..
Let me know if one of this methods works, thank you!

Is the modified recovery.img not the one included in the zip you uploaded?
Re the second option, there is no system.img inside - that's the reason I asked for a MTK Droid Root & Tools backup.
The contents of your zip are these:
Code:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar

I confused the system.ext4.tar with the system.ext4.img
So, I have done half MTK droid backup (it stops when it give me the error, so is not thecomplete backup, but the system.img os ok..) and there is the system image file.. I can upload it 5-04 night (GMT+1) or maybe this night. I'll post the link when it's uploaded.
The firmware of the 4033D have the custpack partiotion too, adn I don't know if it's needed too, so if the flash of system.img fails I'll upload the custpack too
The recovery with CWM is here: https://www.mediafire.com/?bg4rtah9tsbhszs
EDIT: I done a full backup with MTK adn I prepared files for flash tool. I compressed it all in ~460MB archive, t should contain everything. The upload time is the same!
EDIT2 4-3-14 0051 gmt+1: I'm uploading it on Mediafire! It's a high compressed arc archive, so it can drop the pc perfomance while extracting, so have patience

excuse me, im new here this is my first time on this device so totally empty, can you please make an idiots guide on how to get on with this, i have the same problem here stuck at boot screen. i really appreciate it.
Hi folks.
I have an unusual smartphone from a Brazilian manufacturer, CCE, who have been bought for Lenovo.
This manufacturer are not exactly knowed for their support our product quality and I'm prety sure my device will not be updated or suported for any longer.
It's the SK504 and I want to try to customize the rom, build tunning apps (battery consumption sucks) and things like that. I have a good programming backgroung but not for mobile devices so I'm stepping on eggs for now.
The first thing I tried to do was get a backup from my actual rom so if I mess with something I shouldn't I would be able to come back to a working version through fastboot.
long story short, I managed to obtain through romdump 5 files; checksum.md5, config.gz, system.info.gz and system.tar
but, in the posts I been reading, it gives me the idea that I should get a boot.img, a recovery.img and a system.tar.gz
And with this I would be able to generate my own system.img through a different process.
Since I'm not being able to find what I did wrong, can anyone tell me if there are a different way to get those boot.img and recovery.img?
I tried the "adb backup -f boot.img boot" but it generates a 1kb .img file and I don't believe this is a valid boot.img.

This manufacturer are not exactly knowed for their support our product quality and I'm prety sure my device will not be updated or suported for any longer.
It's the SK504 and I want to try to customize the rom, build tunning apps (battery consumption sucks) and things like that. I have a good programming backgroung but not for mobile devices so I'm stepping on eggs for now.
The first thing I tried to do was get a backup from my actual rom so if I mess with something I shouldn't I would be able to come back to a working version through fastboot.
long story short, I managed to obtain through romdump 5 files; checksum.md5, config.gz, system.info.gz and system.tar
but, in the posts I been reading, it gives me the idea that I should get a boot.img, a recovery.img and a system.tar.gz
And with this I would be able to generate my own system.img through a different process.
Since I'm not being able to find what I did wrong, can anyone tell me if there are a different way to get those boot.img and recovery.img?
I tried the "adb backup -f boot.img boot" but it generates a 1kb .img file and I don't believe this is a valid boot.img.

Instead of making a backup, have you tried to find original restore image? Usually it is a an .IMG file.

I used Root Explorer to look for both, recovery.img and *.img.
No result.
