Hello First sorry for my bad English. I have this file I8262XXBNC1_I8262ODDNC1_I8262DDNB1_HOME.tar a official firmware. can i use this to make a custom rom. I know that i can use a rom from this forum to change but i want to this project for fun, I opened it with winrar those files(photo below) and i saw that i need more files to do that. What you suggest to do?
Don't know well!!! But I think you can... just extract the firmware and found the "system" folder from there!!!
Press the Thanks button!!!
From my research i saw how to extract the files from the system but no way how to make one file again. I did that and i bricked my phone so i install again original firmware with odin.
If you have a pc... then use apktool to make and edit your rom!!!!
Or,
If you don't have a pc.. then install apktool in your device!!!
Install sygwin if you're on windows, then download dsixda kitchen or archi kitchen. Make it compatible for your phone and there you go...making flashable zips from official firmware with root, deodex, init.d etc.

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...

Hi all,
I'm using this rom ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.54_v2.0 (1.54.401.2) and I want to use UOT kitchen to modify theme.
But I don't know which framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk use.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks
Well, nobody inspired ?
I'll try to be more clear and give more explanations.
I used files extract from the 1.33 RUU to create my theme. First question, I don't know if I'm right...
Then I've downloaded the UOT files and flash it. When I reboot my phone, I've got a problem with com.android.phone. It crashed, so I can do nothing.
I don't know if my files are good, or if I have the correct settings on UOT kitchen. (Suche like edify or amend script)
The problem is here:

Can you see now where the problem occurs?
If you want to use UOT then you must use the files from ZaSa, as you have flashed 1.33 files over the 1.54 version.
It's exactly the same as you did with the 1.33 files. In case you are having issues, use Root Explorer, mount it as R/W and browse the files on your phone then copy-paste them to your SD card from the app.
Well, I used the 1.33 files because I've read somewhere that I should use "proper file". I was thinking it means from stock rom whereas it means from my rom.
I've made a try with the files extract from Zasa rom, but I've got a SHTF files.
Should I used the com.htc.resources files ? On UOT site they explain that's for rom with sense, but Zasa 1.54 v2.0 is provide without sense whereas this file exist in the rom. Not sure my explanations are clear... Very sorry for my english.
Thanks for your help!
It's possible that even if ZaSa comes without Sense (since it's still a stock rom though) those files are being used anyway. Give it a try with the files suggested by UOT for the Sense rom.
I've tried with and without the recommended file for sense rom, I've always SHTF files!
Become a Themer
If someone send me the link for a 1.57 RUU chacha rom.zip, i will work on it to make it a great rom as i did for my Desire
No need to UOT kitchen when you can do it by yourself _ check out my tutos if you are curious and wanna learn something new in android.

hello guys,
First thing is I'm a noob here, totally noob, altough I have used galaxy fit for almost one year now and have tried many, many custom roms here, I think it is already the time that I'm making my own.
So I read many tutorial how to make a custom rom, with dsixda kitchen. I read there on the original thread that dsixda kitchen didn't support our device, but I was persistent, downloaded all the requisites, and skip skip, finally I understand now why, because the file system of DXKT7 is rfs (system.rfs), it must be converted into ext4, or at least has system.img (am I wrong?), so I search every tutorial about converting file system into ext4, and almost all suggest it should be done on the device itself, or should I say, flashing this stock rom via ODIN, root it, and then u can convert it into ext4.
isn't there any way to make it done in PC so I can start edit this rom in kitchen?
I read it somewhere about extracting initframs.cpio from zimage, please, if anyone know this way, please teach me how
any explanation are appreciated, thank u in advance guys, n sorry for my english
edit:
pratyush.creed said:
not very hard ,just extract initramfs.cpio from the zImage ,add this line
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y in filesystems,then change Mount points in init.rc of Ramdisk
and then Format All Dev Blocks e.g. System,Data,Cache to ext4 !!

copy system.rfs and csc.rfs from a stock rom and boot.img from custom rom to ur original_update folder and extract it...follow onscreen instructions in the kitchen and use magiciso to extract system folder and then do the mods and all u want and pack it now it will work meta-inf folder will be autogenertaed but replace the update-binary in ur created rom from anyother custom rom and it will surely work

I have unpacked boot.img using advanced options in kitchen's menu, now I have folder ramdisk and zImage, what to do now to convert it to ext4?
oh, I followed ur instruction, extract system.rfs with magicIso and put them together with boot image (the one from stock) and others in original update folder and now I can deodex it.
my question, should I change the boot.img with custom rom's boot image so it can support ext4 file system or just go with the stock?
or how can I change the kernel?
edit : oh, after hours searching I just found this thread, everything I need is here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414534
anyway thank u guys.

ur boot.img from stock is rfs format so it wont work if u use that...use boot.img from any custom rom that is also based on ur baseband version(DXKT7)man..the boot.img will automaticaly have the ext4 filesystem(in custom boot.img not stock)....kernel is later part of ur rom man better not go into that now .....copy boot.img from custom rom of ur baseband version then system.rfs and csc.rfs file from stock rom and do as i said above and dont forget to replace update-binary in ur rom after creating the output_zip file from any other custom rom or ur rom wont install
Here I present,
An easy to use and effective, Flashable-zip(or update.zip) Signer!
There are many update-zip(flashable zip) Signers available, but this is special.
This Signer WHOLE-FILE signs your update.zips/flashable-zips, so it can pass even recovery's Signature Verification(Tested on CWM 5.0.2.8 on HTC Wildfire S)!
Unfortunately, as I am not very veryGood at C/C++ Programming, this tool does not have a Graphic User Interface(GUI).
I apologize, but as I am new to XDA, I don't know how to insert pictures, "Code:" etc, so this thread may look very ugly to you.
Oh yes! And DON'T EVER delete any file included in the zip, as it will cause the zip signer to malfunction.
I may have made this flashable-zip Signer, but I couldn't have done it without this people:
zeppelinrox ( for teaching me a little C/C++ Programming with his scripts )
The creator of signapk.jar ( an important part of this tool )
Google ( For Creating Android so that these tools can be developed )
YOU! ( for testing out my flashable-zip Signer )
And many more, who I apologize for leaving you out
Guide to using this zip signer
To Use this Signer:
1) Unzip the file(Obviously!)
2) Copy & paste the update-zip(a.k.a flashable zip) that you want to sign into that folder.
3) Run ROM Signer.bat
4) Follow the instructions in the application.
5) When it says "File successfully signed......", You are DONE!
After File signing operation succeeds, check the "signed" folder for your signed zip file.
Thank you for Using my Flashable-zip Signer!
I would appreaciate if you would hit the "Thanks" button.

Sorry let me better understand your issue first, you want to create a flashable update.zip for installing your firmware files right? So you want to create the correct META-INF files from scratch? Do you have TWRP recovery installed on your phone already? Cos it supports a newer kind of META-INF structure that makes a lot easier. Also your firmware files are for installing into the /system partition, or to be flashed? Sorry for having so many questions haha, I can better help you if I understand the technical details

Is there a Linux version
Hi guys, i have a question...
Is possible create a custom rom (remove vendor apps) from XXXXXXXX.tar.md5 file downloaded from sammobile and make your own tar.md5 flasheable Odin file?
For example:
Original firmware:
XXXXXX.tar.md5
1.5 Gb
Removing vendor apps:
XXXXXX_my_firm.tar.md5
800 mb
I am interested in doing this without custom recovery, not zip flashable file, and not root.

Yes, you can do this, but things have changed a bit since this guide was written, you'll have to do some research to see what things have changed in this process from kit kat up to the current available android version. There have been some stock security changes that this guide doesn't cover and won't work with these new securities, but you should be able to figure out how to make this work with those securities if you learn to look in the right places.
https://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=92
This will help you create the .tar, you'll just have to figure out how to make the changes you want to make. You'll mostly be working with your system.img once you get it extracted.
