32b dream->sapphire script (updated 20th august, new feature!)

So, as the title says a simple bash script to convert a dream rom to a sapphire rom.
To make this work you need unpack / repack boot img utilities from here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
testsign.jar from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4008431&postcount=15
mkbootimg from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3387504&postcount=26
since I'm a nice guy I've included these in the attached zip file.
extract the attached zip file into a folder (warning: make sure there's no spaces in the folder name!!) then run:
Code:
./convert.sh your_dream_rom.zip
this will:
extract the boot.img from the zip
unpack the boot image
rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack the boot image
put the boot image back into a copy of the dream rom zip
NEW!! in v3: add anything in the 'addin' folder into the zip (see below)
resign the new zip
you'll be left with your_dream_rom-sapphire.zip which should (hopefully) work on the sapphire.
v3: new addin folder. Anything in this folder will be added to the resulting zip, overwriting if needed. So if you want to replace (for example) /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv just put the file in /addin/system/etc and it will automagically be merged in.

You'll also need to compile the mkbootimg executable that (I think!) comes with the android source.
extract the attached zip file inot a folder then run:
Code:
./convert.sh your_dream_rom.zip
this will:
extract the boot.img from the zip
unpack the boot image
rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack the boot image
put the boot image back into a copy of the dream rom zip
resign the new zip
you'll be left with your_dream_rom-sapphire.zip which should (hopefully) work on the sapphire.
attached is a zip file containing everything you need except mkbootimg, since that needs to be compiled for your system.
Please note, I don't have a compiled copy of mkbootimg for my system, so I haven't been able to try the full process... but extracting and repacking the zip works, signing seems to work... and it's a pretty simple script so I can't see why it wouldn't work.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Do I need a boot.img and wlan.ko for pvt32A if I want it to work?

it won't work for 32a, but I'm sure you can mod the script to add in a new boot.img and radio thingy.
updated initial post with new attachment:
added mkbootimg to zip file
changed script slightly.

in case anyone was wondering, I tried this script on Drizzy's "superlight hero" rom from the dream forum and it worked perfectly.

What do i wrong ... ?

No idea, according to the error message it says it can't find 'Personal.zip'... is that file present in the same directory as 'convert.sh' ?

yes it is ...
can anyone convert this boot.img ... so that i can use on 32b?

you need to actually change directory to the directory containing the utility to run it.
try:
cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/a/
./convert.sh Personal.zip

is ist possible that it doesn't work because i'm using the live cd now?
now it says
Archive: ./Personal.zip
inflating: ./boot.img

but mkbootimg is in this directory

This is what I end up getting. I ended up using a precompiled binary of mkbootimg for OSX since it didn't work on my Linux box.

You have to modify the script repack-bootimg.pl at line 19 :
replace : system ("mkbootimg ...
by : system ("./mkbootimg ...
Note the ./ before mkbootimg
Scargoll.

Got everything working.
1. Add ./ to the repack script before mkbootimg
2. make sure you have a 32bit OS, as the binary provided was compiled for it. I made an Intrepid machine on my VM server.
3. Use the latest version of Java. Even Karmic Koala Ubuntu doesn't have it. The class file in the jar was compiled with a very recent version of Java, so you'll error out since the jre version isn't equal to or above whats needed. You can simply do "export JAVAHOME=pathtojava" if you don't want to keep that version permanently.
4. Have fun!

Bugfixes:
removes boot.img when script is done
added ./ before mkbootimg (sorry!)
the provided mkbootimg *should* work on a 64bit machine, it does on my 64 bit arch linux box...as with all things linux though, YMMV.

I ve tried to convert a dream rom but it didn't work, does this method can be applied from a windows command shell ?
EDIT: can I take a dream rom, flash it, and push a boot.img from a hero 32B rom ?
EDIT2: Ok now that I have read the name of the topic I understand it wont work in windows. So here's my new question...
Is there a way to adapt this script (or to create something similar) so it works with windows ?

updated with 'addin' feature

A windows version would be great!

Nice work Deicist. Thanks for sharing.

some facts:
- i'm running Windows 7 RC (64-bit)
- i installed Cygwin and executed it as administrator
- i browse out to the correct folder where the rom zip file is located
i get the following errors. any suggestions?:
$ ./convert.sh modaco_hero.zip

Make it work on Fedora
Was having problems with this script working at the java part on a FC10 box.
Was able to get it to work by installing java-1.6.0-openjdk:
Code:
$ yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
just posting that here in case anyone who needs it stumbles by.
Thanks for your great script Deicist

I'm getting this error. What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Aptoide and aapt

Hello,
I try to install an aptoide server on archlinux. When I execute the generate.ph, i get the following error: "sh: ./aapt: No such file or directory".
The aapt file can be executed and is in the same directory as the generate.ph script. I follow the instructions of the aptoide's website and download the aapt file from there.
How can I solve this problem ?

try to copy
this aapt file in the same directory of .generate.ph

[Fix] Mobile Hotspot Hack Reposted for OTA 4.24.651.1

I didn't write this hack, but it appears to work with the new stock GB update.
I did edit the script and zip archive so it wouldn't need any external exe's or libs to apply. Just copy the newest framework.jar file to the script directory and run the HackHotspot.bat file. Then simply run these ADB commands from a dos window.
------
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework.jar
-------
clear Dalvik and fix permissions if desired
Reboot Phone
Done!

Much appreciated but way over my head (I've never done anything with ADB). Any chance of getting this, and the USB debugging notification fix, in a flashable form?

The debug fix is the one that doesn't display the statusbar icon when connected?
I'll see what I can do for ya

You need to provide more information. What are your bootloader details? Are you perm rooted? What tutorial were you following? What commands came before the text you have posted here? What do you mean by you've lost the file?
PS. You've posted this in the General Section, I'll ask for it to be moved to the Q&A Section for you.

Can't install a modified app using ADB "A problem occured during package analyze"

Can't install a modified app using ADB "A problem occured during package analyze"
Hello,
I have modify an app (actually a simple .txt file) and I package it again.
Then I move the base.apk in the original folder in /data/app/app_folder and when I hit base.apk, an error message appears :
"A problem occured during package analyze"
Have you got any idea where I am wrong ?
Thanks

probably corrupted signature - Did you re-sign it?

In the installation folder there was : "lib" folder, "oat" foolder and the base.apk
I only modified the base.apk using an extractor like 7-zip and pack it again after in .apk
How do I sign it again ?
Error log:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb install D:\app\com.toyquest.Cayla.fr-1\base.apk

I sign it using :
keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias CAYLA -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
sudo jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore base.apk CAYLA
sudo jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs base.apk
Right method ?

Session 'app': Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION
Retry

i cant install , if i do push abb can i ?

The error reported has NOTHING to do with APK's signature:
Error log:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb install D:\app\com.toyquest.Cayla.fr-1\base.apk

APK's AndroidManifest.xml is the culprit! Wondering why you don't carefully read error messages?

it's just that you removed or modify some line in xml file which is causing problem. just search for it alternatively if you want to change image file you can swamp it with another file with same name. hope it helped
