Hello xdawesome forum,
If I want to make my own .zip file to flash it using CWM and boot in some linux distro; say debian, what should be included in this .zip file?
Is it as simple as putting my .img file in a .zip file?
I think your best option is to follow this tuto : whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian
If you try to flash directly a debian img, you'll miss some libraries and won't even boot.

If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.
I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.
Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.
@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C
Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

You could nandroid backup it, extract the image and zip & sign it up.
i know about nandroid but how i extract the image & zip? and how do i sign it? is there any tut that i can follow & learn?
.img file is a zip file (more or less). Use 7zip for that.

You could use dxisida's android kitchen to do all tasks, you put the system.img and boot.img in the 'original' folder and then make it a update.zip rom through the kitchen.
thanks all~! once my xtc clip arrived will try to do it. still waiting T_T...

Welcome Bro,
Its simple. Download any rom which is without boot.img in it. The file will be in .zip format. Just install Winrar into ur computer. Download any boot.img files you like from this page Here. then open the Rom file which doesn't contain boot .zip file using winrar. Click on "ADD" button and select the boot.img file you downloaded. Thats all you now have the rom with boot.img file in zip format dont save because you need not to, its already saved . Make a backup of all your files and Kindly follow all instruction from Developer. ( MY Suggestion:-download one more different ROM because if one rom fails then you can try to install another )
Please correct me if I have said anything wrong. :highfive:
i need an update to my RK3066 to 4.4.4 kitkat that isn't in RAR type but rather zip. I've downloaded a couple different ones from the Malaysk profile on XDA and then converted to zip only to have my device recognize it as a bad file. any options?
Hi !
What did you use to convert it ? The zip or rar are the same
You maybe want a zip file in order to flash it in recovery but you have downloaded a rar which isn`t recognized
Open the rar archive and use the files from inside of it , it may contain an image an you have to use that one
Good luck !

i did try and flash update w/ the rar but the tablet didn't recognize a rar ext. So i converted to a zip and the tablet stopped because it stated it was a bad file. I thought something may have messed up during the conversion and did it again but same result. I've looked everywhere for updates to 4.4.4 for this tablet but no luck. the ones that i did try and flash would open update and then abort the install.
As I said, I understand what you have tried, now please listen to me, the rar file is not a flashable zip and you cannot just convert it to zip in order to flash it, the flashable zip file results from building the ROM not converting rar to zip
Rar and zip are indeed both archives but the zip you need is a flashable zip as I mentioned above
Open that rar and tell me what you have inside
As for roms, if here on xda aren't available then contact the manufacturer's website or go deeper into Google, as far as I can see there is no ROM for your device here on xda

i found a way to extract the zip into .img files, and found a program that can extract the .img files into standard files/folders
but i still have yet to find a way to repack the files back into a .img to flash via fastboot
can anyone help please.
The best tool is currently Super R's kitchen. Great guy and great Dev, you should support his work.

Where are you getting stuck? I've had no issues personally
edit* Just checked, working on OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_012_all_1806140300_e4bacf signed zip
you can extract the payload.bin with payload extracter:

Yes, the tool extracts payload.bin and further extracts boot.img, system.img, vendor.img etc and allows you to work on them and will repack them after :highfive:

fingers crossed
then we can finally have a decrypt base with no avb on partitions, I'll try this soon, do you mind if I PM you if I get stuck?
do I *need* to donate?
I'll help if I can but it's Super R's work and I'm sure he is more than happy to help if you get stuck.
