How to create zip files which can be flashed from clockworkmod recovery.

I was just flashing cyanogen mod 9. And I found that it doesn't have any file manager (and I cannot demand one from the cm team as they already have some more important things to take care of). So I installed one from market....not a big deal.
But I got a thing in my mind that how great it would be if it is possible to install apps directly from clockworkmod recovery. Does anyone know of such thing so that applications can be directly installed from clockworkmod recovery. I think that it is possible as there are many zip files around which can be installed from clockworkmod recovery. Is there any method so that we can convert .apk file to flashable. Zip files........

What does update-binary do?

I would also like to know this. I am currently trying to replace the Gtalk app from another ROM. I poked into a flashable zip of gtalk. The directory structure looks like this:
./
|-- META-INF
| |-- CERT.RSA
| |-- CERT.SF
| |-- com
| | `-- google
| | `-- android
| | |-- update-binary
| | `-- updater-script
| `-- MANIFEST.MF
|-- system
| |-- app
| | `-- Talk.apk
| `-- lib
| `-- libtalk_jni.so
`-- talk1.3.update-signed.zip
As you can see, ./system simply contains the files you want to replace, in proper direactory structure.
META-INF->MANIFEST.MF looked like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)
Name: system/lib/libtalk_jni.so
SHA1-Digest: CS1HUsvOtzoRKbv+oVDH2DYgba4=
Name: META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
SHA1-Digest: GU2aCGeV8dptZE08Gh4LQAXRobo=
Name: system/app/Talk.apk
SHA1-Digest: NGmFc12Uh43BhSHVEE22XU4ZFNw=
Name: META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
SHA1-Digest: 8bR5X0XTbEu6II0NLIRK/31A1lE=
This is easy enough, just the sha1sums of all the files involved.
The CERT.* stuff must be related to signing the zip.
The updater-script is also not difficult to understand:
ui_print("");ui_print("Installing Talk 1.3...");ui_print("");
set_progress(1.000000);
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("Done!");
ui_print("");
But I have no idea what the update-binary does.
Waiting for help from the more experienced friends.

[WIFI NOT WORKING] [ROM] [Acer Iconia Smart S300] [25/03/2012] Nika's ROM v1.1

None yet... anyone?

Hi nikagl,
Glad to see someone making another ROM for the Smart. It will prove valuable for people unable to install Smartoonay.
I'll give it a shot if I can find some time.
Regards,

Thank you very much for your work.
I am planning on trying out an S300 for T-Mo US despite the lack of 3G support here.
I was turned off by some of the problems related to Smartoonay

Just to let you know, I think I created this rom on 1.000.19. Gonna update it to 1.000.24 sometime next week (currently on holiday)...

Would you pls tell me more.......
Dear Nikagl,
Truly appreciate your hard working on this ROM. I like this phone so much and so happy to find the ROM finally.
I've download the 2 files you split, but I have trouble to merge these 2 files together. Would you pls tell me how to unzip the files?
I will give it a try and give you some feedbacks.
Thank you so much and have a great day there.
Jerry

I have uploaded it to SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nika-s300-rom/files/Nika_s_ROM_v1.0.zip/download
But please be aware, current build is based on 1.000.19 and I wil upgrade it to 1.000.24 soon... more news when I have time
Regards,
Nika.

Hi all,
I have figured out a way to install the Smartoonay ROM, see the Smartoonay thread. This project is therefore discontinued, unless someone has a good suggestion for what to change to either ROM (I can modify Smartoonays ROM in some respect too)...
Regards,
Nika.

Sorry to hear that you won't continue....
Dear Nikagl,
It is so pity that you decided not to continue the ROM. I tried to installed your ROM for several times, unfortunately, it won't work. I installed the CWM 4.0.0.8. first. It works! , I followed your instructions to carry on but when I tred to install it from the external SD and restored it from the backup, it failed and show " MD5 mismatch".
Maybe the reason is current build is based on 1.000.19. and should upgrade it to 1.000.24. My one is 1.000.24. I think. (Gen 2 )
Once you decide to work on your ROM. I will happy to try again.
Sincerely thank you for your efforts so much. You are great. I think I will donate one day.
Have a nice day over there.
Jerry

No worries, I'll make one soon as I don't like several things in the Smartoonay rom. With regards to your md5 error - can you try downloading it again?

Added my 1.1 version of the ROM. See first post for all details
Enjoy, and let me know
Regards,
Nika.

Even though this is for the old method I used (backup/restore) I did want to shed a light on this. MD5 Mismatch is often caused by the files on the sdcard getting corrupted. When you check, you'll see that the file somehow turned into 0kb. Not sure yet, but I think there's some issue with the debugging mount in Acer ROMs or this version of the CWM Recovery.
Nevertheless, workaround is as follows:
1. Use the Mount USB from CWM
2. Copy the files onto the sdcard
3. Copy/paste one more extra file or duplicate the backup you want to install
4. Install the backup in the same session (do not reboot or something)
Some more tips:
1. For backups - always copy them to your pc immediately after making it (with the USB mount in CWM)
2. It is possibly to "reMD5" your files - see this thread: only do this when you do not have 0 kb files and are sure the backup is intact!!
3. When you install/restore something and it turns out the be corrupt, reboot into recovery again - if you fix it, and try it again in the same session it will "remember" the old status somehow...
Good luck
Regards,
Nika.

please help me
hello brother I wonder if you could help me fix my phone is the Acer Iconia s300 I am from mexico and I am using a translator to write sorry if the translation is terrible in the end what happens is that when you change the font to the cell was shut down and when lit and did not go acer screen and android I wonder if you could provide me the room or firmware and a tutorial on how to install my email is [email protected] love you for life if you help me

The translation is actually very well, perfect! You will probably loose all settings but you will get a working phone back when you simply install one of the stock ROMs. I have had this issue several times when working on new ROMs and stock ROM always fixes it. Just install 1.000.19 or 1.000.24. You can either download them from the Acer website, or get them from Vache's website:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF... SMART (S300)&OS=a06&LC=nl&BC=Acer&SC=EMEA_18
http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&cat=30
http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=123
http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=123
Then simply connect the device to your PC. Maybe you need to install the drivers (download from Acer) as well and then just run the setup from the Stock firmware...
Good luck!
Regards,
Nika.

Typically blind as a bat, I only just noticed this thread! I've not tried flashing yet as my main desire for flashing would be an overclockable ROM. To that end, I'm wondering, have you tried compiling your own kernel from source, yet?

I do have an environment to be able to compile kernels, like I compiled the 5.x version of the recovery (did you see that, being blind as a bat ) but I don't have any of the kernel sources and wouldn't know where to find them either. And honestly... I am way to lazy to recompile the sources from scratch.
Did you try the overclocked kernel I added to the Smartoonay thread? As you own a similar device as mine, you may have the same issue where it doesn't boot, but for paugustin it works so maybe it does for you too?

Problem - Downgrading using AAHK

Hi everyone,
Am an android newbie so please be gentle with me
I have a HTC Desire hd. It is on Orange UK and has stock 2.3.5 firmware
I am using AAHK and was having issues on 64 bit windows 7 so am running off Ubuntu live cd
I understand from reading the forums that i must downgrade to 2.3.3 and aahk will do this automatically
I have seen screenshots where AAHK displays the PD98IMG-GB2.zip, but I am unable to see this no matter what i do and AAHK sticks at pushing the rom
I have checked and my phone is S-On
Below is a copy of the text from AAHK

It's basically the same for me. I have however not tried running it yet because the effen manual gives those test commdands first. I'm also in Ubuntu (12.04). Device is in charging mode an USB debugging on. I don't know how to check for S-ON. What's best for me (us) to do now?
Software 3.12.405.1. Shipped with Froyo if I recall correctly, bought it when it came out in Europe in oct 2010.
Edit: Misunderstood. The test commands are meant to be run in another windows of the terminal, as root. These commands worked so I started the hack. Had to downgrade as well but went for y.

Important Notes
Be aware, that installing any stock ROM, is only possible with a stock recovery on board, or with restoring the stock recovery itself - in case it has been changed. If you return your device to a service point with custom ROM or recovery on, it would void your warranty.
Also note, that we take no responsibility at all for any data loss, or damage you may cause to your device. Any modifications shall be carried out on your own responsibility!
The modified software will not unlock your phone. And we don't know about any unofficial unlocking methods either. However if you do, don't hesitate to share.
Useful tips for installing
Read through the current steps before actually start a method, and apply the steps precisely
Plug the phone directly to the computer, don't use any extension cables, adapters, hubs, etc ...
It's important that you use the rear USB plugs of the PC, instead of the front ones (doesn't matter in case of notebooks)
If you're not sure about the drivers, (re)install them. If the computer still doesn't detect the phone, then turn it off while it's connected to the computer, then press the (phone) power button shortly. The PC should find the phone after this, and install it (could be a solution especially for XP)
Try another USB cable, or if you have the chance, test it with another computer
Between unsuccessfull attempts, you can also consider rebooting the computer
Next v2 custom ROM with CWM recovery
Installing CWM recovery (beta)
Install the official ZTE drivers, if you haven't done it already.
Download this CWM package to your computer, and check it with MD5 Checksum Verifier for MD5: d69833693794242e78d990eec33cdb66, then extract it.
Go to the phone Settings > Development Settings > USB debugging > check it.
Plug the phone to the computer via USB.
Start the extracted recovery.exe file, and wait a bit. The process has finished if you see the press any key to continue ... message.
Press any key to close the application, unplug the device from the PC, and you're done.
The recovery is available by pressing the POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons, from a phone-off state.
There are some custom roms, where you can get to the recovery from the power menu too.
You can step in recovery with the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and use the power button for ok/enter.
Installing Next v2 custom ROM
All user applications (installed subsequently), settings, contacts, sms', etc ... will be deleted by installing the software, thus everybody should make a backup.
Download the Next v2 custom ROM, to your computer and check it for MD5: 09f15186c9fe031dd1f9572d682e14f5.
Copy the downloaded ROM_NeXt_v2.zip file (without extracting it), to the root of an SD card.
Put the SD card in your phone, while it's turned off.
Press and hold the POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons, until the Intel logo shows up.
After the logo appeared, release the buttons, and wait until the recovery loads.
Choose the install zip from sdcard > choose zip from external sdcard option, and browse the ROM_NeXt_v2.zip file.
After the successfull installation, choose reboot system now.

Right, I didn't think of that.
New links are up.
Btw, the Next v2 custom rom with CWM Recovery is on its way here, if anyone would be interested.

Very good and, yes! Interested!

I want romanian stock recovery version: GXI_V1.0.0B01 Because my phone is that version how ever I bought this phone in Finland. But I'm assuming that is same stock recovery.
I need because my phone is freezing/booting. I was going to return this phone back to where I bought it.

Okay, since the Slovakian recovery is already done, and comes together with the Hungarian, Polish, and Macedonian ones to the OP tonight, the next will be the Romanian recovery, likely in the following few days.

Do you know how to get rid of root because I rooted with GXI_root_NGT and I need to get that away. Thanks anyway
EDIT: Stock Recovery question. Do I run that .zip file from CWM recovery? I'm just asking before Romanian recovery come

We don't have an unroot method right now, and not planning one either, so the best for you would be just to wait a bit for the Romanian reco and restore your stock ROM with it. And then the root will be gone.
Which .zip file? The custom ROM .zip file is for CWM.
The stock ROM .zip files are for the stock recoveries. The description is on its way for that.

I see now when I check they are exe files like connect your phone to pc with usb debugging and run that?

Yeah, they are pretty much the same as in case of the CWM recovery, you just have to make a choice with picking the original recovery after running the .exe

Will supersu be deleted when running stock rom? because I just restore my backup where root was not working but there is still supersu. Or can you tell how to remove supersu?

Which backup? The ZTE kind of?
Anyway, restoring a stock rom supposed to (and most likely will) delete both user and system data, so everthing, including superuser and root.

I backup with CWM recovery but root is not working in there. I used Bin4ry v18. Hoping that stock rom helps me getting this device to service. You take your time to do your best work. Thanks!
EDIT: I done Factory Reset and boom 30min of playing with phone and open up netflix BOOM Freeze!

Well, it's quite much the same with stock ROMs, we didn't really do performance modifications. Without available kernel source it's to hard.
That's my stats with minimalistic use. But if I watch movies, listening to net radio, browsing a lot, etc ... it discharges in 1 day.

[TWRP][Root][Guide] Lenovo P8 (TB-8703F and TB-8703X)

I found this version of TWRP on the official Chinese Lenovo forum (original thread). The Lenovo P8 was originally released in the Chinese market, but there is now a version with an English stock ROM and full Play Store access being sold online.
The instructions I have written also work for the 4G model (TB-8703X) but you will be using a different version of TWRP (see below).
Notes:
This method installs TWRP and SuperSU without unlocking the bootloader. As such, there are some risks involved. Pay special attention to the steps labeled ''IMPORTANT'' to prevent a bootloop from occurring.
Necessary files:
QPST flash tool (use the latest version): https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
Qualcomm USB driver : https://androiddatahost.com/nbyn6
TWRP:
- If you have the WiFi TB-8703F model, use TWRP-3.1.1-0821-LENOVO_P8(8703F)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s6wpp3eic9gvp2y/TWRP-3.1.1-0821-LENOVO_P8(8703F)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z
- If you have the 4G TB-8703X model, use TWRP-3.1.1-0820-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z: http://www.mediafire.com/file/o3qoa4hws0t7g16/TWRP-3.1.1-0820-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z
Instructions:
1) Install QPST and the Qualcomm USB driver from the above links. Also extract the TWRP archive specific to your model number
2) Run QFIL (part of the QPST package), and select the build type ''Flat Build''
3) Next to ''Select Programmer'' click ''browse'' and select prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn (located in your TWRP folder)
4) Next to ''Select Build'' click ''Load XML'' and select rawprogram0.xml and then select patch0.xml (both located in your TWRP folder)
5) Turn your device off. Then, press and hold the volume up button and connect your device to your PC via the USB cable
6) QFIL should detect your device in 9008 mode (''Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008'' will appear at the top)
7) Click the blue ''Download'' button
8) IMPORTANT - once it has finished downloading, disconnect the device and enter TWRP by holding the volume up and power button together (it should vibrate just before loading into TWRP)
9) You will notice that TWRP is in Chinese, but we will now change the language to English. Slide the slider at the bottom all the way to the right, and click the grey button that is second to last in the right column (see here). Then, click the white globle icon at the top right (see here), and set the language to English (see here)
10) IMPORTANT - Press ''Advanced'' and then ''RM Forceencrypt''. Swipe to confirm. Now reboot into system (do not install SuperSU just yet).
11) Once it successfully boots into Android, power down the device again and enter TWRP (hold volume up + power button together)
12) Press ''Advanced'' and then ''Install SU'. Swipe to install.
13) IMPORTANT - after SU successfully installs, go back to the main menu, click ''Advanced'' and then ''RM Forceencrypt''. Swipe to confirm.
14) Reboot into system and your device should now be rooted
Findings:
I encountered a small issue with AdAway not loading initially. This was easily fixed by going into the SuperSU app and changing the setting ''Default access'' to ''grant''. After you successfully load AdAway and see the ''grant permissions'' popup, you can revert the setting back to ''Prompt'' in SuperSU.

Special thanks to @wzsx150 and the L.R Team for creating this version of TWRP.

Thank you for your work.

Hi,
thank you for your work.
What rom can i install on my lenovo TB-8703F tablet? Lineage 15 is compatible? where i can download it?

Excellent
Excellent work. Thank you very much for doing this & doing it so well & making everything very clear. I have been trawling the Russian forums trying to work out how to root for the last 2 days. You have just made a great little tablet even better. Thank you.
Best, Will

Any possibility of installing Magisk instead of SuperSU?

Ok, two potentially stupid questions: Am I going to receive ota after rooting the device? Is there any custom rom?
Thanks for your help!

Tested. [Worked]
Tested and working! Thank-you!
I only ran into a small hiccup which was the driver was unsigned and wouldn't install when I connected my device. I used method #1 mentioned (replace @ signs with . ) [email protected]@com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ and reconnected my device and it worked.

Yes right.,.bootloader does not unlock yet in 8703F

This is a big fault from Lenovo !! (In 8703X bootloader can be unlock with > fastboot oem unlock-go )

This is probably a stupid question, but is possible to encrypt the device somehow? In settings it still says encrypted, but it's not as far as I can see. I've installed magisk with your instructions.

Hi, mind telling which launcher is that? Also, did you find a way to get rid of that annoying "too many startup apps" notification?

Try an hard reset. From a while I've no more experienced that annoying problem.

NO... these annoying notifications, there is no way to stop (don't do it hard reset if your device are rooted,is very dangerous)
this is a bug of system M6 and needs update from lenovo to be corrected...
