All tools to begin developing a rom? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I've tried multiple way of getting settings.new.dat.br file extracted but to no luck
I need a extracter
And recompiler
And update zip maker
(from the pure basic of what I can look at and say I'd need before modifying the rom)
Im running px5 on rk3368

What to do next after deodexing?

Hi all,
I've tried this tool package [Script/Tool][Windows]>>Auto-Deodexer 4.3<<[All Android Versions] and it worked fine but there's no specific instruction on how to flash/install it back to my phone. Can someone guide me on what to do next?
I'm done with the very last instruction but have no idea what to do with the generated "ROM" folder
"When done, copy the modified files (in the zipaligned__ folders) back to the original app and framework directories in the "ROM" directory"
I'm fairly new to doing this deodexing thing on my own, I usually just flash roms that are already deodexed but sadly this new phone doesn't have support yet from the experts.
Thank you in advance.

Which phone are you using??
Its better don't go further if you hav no experience with this.. doing wrong or for first time will create some mistakes and will create problems...
Thums up if you are ready to take all responsibility and go further there are many guides around XDA to cook your ROM
Tel the clear information of your device... I.e. device name, android version..

Yes I would really like to learn how to cook my own rom from my rom dump and integrate the deodexed system there.
I've successfully loaded the deodexed framework and apps and removed .odex files via adb. Phone working fine after all that. :laugh:
Thanks!

I don't think you need them. Unpacking and packing boot images is pretty straightforward since Huawei's boot images have the same format as stock Android AOSP boot images. You can use the utilities you mentioned to unpack without need of any ELF file.

Since i have soe experience on other phones and the best way is always with disasm and reasm of the files. Don't want to put the whole sdk or git files on my comp.
The best way I'm doing it is with phone throught adb bridge.
So I'm looking for the executable files for it (mkbootimg,unmkbootimg), have found only PIE version of Marshmallow for it.
Can any one please help.
Thx in advance.

Look into the systemless root tools , those should do what you're looking for.

is possible tar.md5 to custom tar.md5?

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.

Question Teyes CC3 Root Tutorial

Just rooted my CC3 and wanted to share a way that I now know is safe. This works for the post-October firmware and doesn't require downloading anything from sketchy websites. I'm going to keep this very high level so that hopefully only people who understand what they're doing can figure it out. Rooting this device can very easily brick it.
# Why root the CC3?
Really, there aren't many reasons. You can pull any files off the device without root using the lsecupdate scripts. You can browse to most file locations using Root Explorer or adb shell. You can replace firmware files with FYT Firmware tools.
For me, I wanted to run a specific executable file on the device that was in the /system folder and the only way I could run it was as root. That's a pretty specific use case and I doubt many people have it. Just know that 99.9% of what you want to do that caused you to come to this topic can be done without root.
# Who's fault is it if you brick your device?
It's your fault. Even if my instructions lead you down the wrong path, it's 100% your fault. Really, you shouldn't be doing this. Turn back now.
---
High level steps to root the CC3. I'll fill out details as people have questions. I highly recommend you read through the whole thing once or twice before getting started. You want to make sure you understand how it works instead of just blindly following directions.
GET TOOLS
1) Download the stock firmware. Make sure you get the regular CC3 or the CC3 360 as appropriate. Get it directly from Teyes.
2) Download @mariodantas EXCELLENT FYT Firmware Tools from this forum.
UNPACK ORIGINAL FIRMWARE
3) Use the FYT Firmware Tools (you must use sudo!) to import_original.sh
PATCH BOOT.IMG
4) Copy the tools/_tmp/firmware/boot.img to your CC3. You can do that by putting it on a thumbdrive, downloading it from your google drive, or using adb push. You need to get it onto the CC3 somehow. We need to patch it ON the device.
5) Install Magisk on your CC3 from the play store.
6) Use Magisk to open your boot.img file and patch it. It will create a file called magisk_#######.img. Copy that back to your computer as the tools/firmware/boot.img file. You basically just replaced the boot.img in the firmware folder with the patched one.
REPACK FIRMWARE
7) Use FYT Firmware Tools to repack the firmware. Note that you need to create the patched directory. The script will fail (and delete your modified firmware) if that directory doesn't exist. This will give you a modified 6315_1.zip file
INSTALL FIRMWARE
8) Copy all of the original Teyes firmware update files on a USB drive. Overwrite the original 6315_1.zip file with the modified one you just created that has the patched boot.img.
9) Connect that USB drive to your CC3. It will install the firmware and your system will be rooted.
VERIFY
10) Open Magisk on your headunit again. It should show Magisk installed and give you the root (shield) menu at the bottom.

Is @mariodantas firmware working on the CC3? Just seen, is not.
@cryptyk do you have a link to the firmware tool?
Found it. Is for Linux. I am a Windows user
everything is much easier
Tell us
Edit: Thank you
