My friend asked me this earlier and it got me wondering....what would happen if we flashed a rom from a different phone after changing the boot.img?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
You brick it. Don't ever ever EVER flash a ROM for another phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rizdog23:
I was not thinking about doing it myself...i was just curious as to how the porting process gets underway and it sparked that question. This is a very broad category...but what are the main steps to porting from another device?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
You can use Android kitchen to port the ROM and then try to get it booting.... Not exactly Easy I have been working on a DX ROM from nexus s still won't install.... or you can look up freeyourandroid and it has directions to do it yourself but it does the same as kitchen

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V-Lix:
Hi,

I want to flash XXLA4 ROM with OLBKL2 CSC and CF-Root LA4 using CWM Manager in one go.

I have these files:

N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5

N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_N7000DXKL2_HOME.tar.md5

CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.tar

Inside the ROM package there are:

factoryfs.img -> this is System files (PDA), I will use XXLA4

modem.bin -> this is Phone modem, I will use XXLA4

zImage -> this is Kernel, I will use CF-Root XXLA4

cache.img -> this is CSC files, I will use OLBKL2

hidden.img -> what is this? should I use the file from DXLA1 or XXLA4?

I searched but found conflicting answers. Some said that it's related to CSC, so I should use the file from DXLA1. But, leaked samsung rom only have cache.img inside MULTI-CSC tar file (for example GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALA3.tar).

I also noticed that some of the ROM package that I extracted have the same modified date for factoryfs.img and hidden.img, while different modified date for cache.img; meaning it's related to System files (factoryfs.img).

So, to know from which file should I use hidden.img from (DXLA1 or XXLA4), I want to know what is inside hidden.img.

Thank you so much in advance~!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
cache is CSC

if you want to use another CSC file, just select cache in Mobile Odin OR in case of CWM, when it ask you to select file for Cache, you have to point to CSC file(OBL KL2 CSC e.g.)

I said you earlier too, that will wipe your data, as i remember you have not concern about losing data i think.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V-Lix:
Yes, I know about cache.img is the CSC files, and I know how to use it with Mobile Odin or CWM Manager.

You are right, I don't mind factory wipe, infact I always full wipe before any firmware update.

What I want to know is about hidden.img...

Yes, I'm curious, I want to know and learn what is this image file contain.

Oh, and yes, I have flashed to XXLA4 using hidden.img from XXLA4...

It works.. But I'm still curious and want to know what is it..

Thanks again~ :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shammyh:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Droidster:
Hidden.img is exclusive to carrier branded Stock ROM's.

In case of such ROM's cache.img + hidden.img together constitute the CSC. So my guess is hidden.img has some of the carrier specific bloat!

EDIT: Just saw that the hidden.img from the xwla4 ROM contains files related to the Samsung Gamehub (ngmoco)!

Thnx!:cowboy:

Delete hidden.img

Any idea if it's possible to delete "hidden.img" from the CSC tar file and then flash it to keep everything but the bloat?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojo_jodroid:
yeh mate;

rename extracted file from xxxxxx.tar.mtd to xxxxx.tar and it should turn into a winrar compressed file

then you can delete hidden.img

after you compress them together and the only way i know how to do that is with the Unified Android Toolkit

Open the zip with Total Commander, delete hidden.img and rename the file without the .md5 extension.

Only leave .tar at the end of the file name.

I don't think he was referring to you... I think he was trying to say that Admin should make a sticky that people should really check the phone's imei at tmobile store to see if they're blacklisted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
its not new if its "blacklisted" its call buying it used, you would not have this problem if you bought it new.

either way eventually tmobile gonna track you down. keep us updated if it work :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nybern:
i also was scamed i bought a amaze from Clist called Tmobile with imei # and thy said it was good.i used the phone for 3 weeks, then i droped it broke the screen and call insurance to get it replaced thy said the phone was reported lost and will not replace the phone. the insurance company had the phone black listed but tmobile did not.

so now im stuck with a amaze with cracked screen that still works on tmobile but is black listed with insurance.

moral of the story is you have to call tmobile and asurion with the imei # before you buy a phone from someone other then Tmobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Slupie:
Return it and get your money back. You have been scammed.

It seems that this kind of thing is happening more often since T-mobile started blacklisting phones that are reported list or stolen. Also they are blacklisting phones that have been purchased on a payment plan and the owner terminated the contract and never paid for the phone or the ETF.

Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
I personally stopped trading/selling phones on cl because there are just too many kids and immature people to deal with. plus now with all this there is no guarantee that you are getting a quality product. Just contact the person and demand your money back. Tell them you'll take them to small claims court. You have evidence from Tmobile and Ashton that the phones were reported lost/stolen. And you were not aware of that at the point of sale.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adapt0r:
One way to protect yourself is checking the database at http://www.checkmend.com/us

Ask the seller the phone IMEI before buying. If the phone is not legit you will never hear from the seller.

All of you ...

If you are a little ***** dont try this at home please hahahahaha

Info about the update

Hello guys!

I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).

The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.

Build info is Friday 11 Nov...

How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?

Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.

Thank you in advance.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GuestX0057:
I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:

If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.

It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pantweb:
Really funny... If it was only a matter of geographical location just a dns static route would fix the trouble of getting updates...

OK so here is my question I want to flash back to full stock rom but the last time I did the RUU it took almost 8 hours to flash could I rename the rom.zip something and flash it through CWM or Hbooot
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
It should be possible via HBOOT, not CWM, at least for upgrading, not sure about downgrading though. I believe the file name would be PG58IMG.zip and would need to be copied to the root of your SD card and the MD5 checked.

Haven't tried it personally but researched it a couple weeks ago when I was having '171' errors installing the latest RUU via PC (but eventually got that to work).
[HTC Sensation] cwibel:
If You want to back to stock, You have to flash a RUU via PC.

I backed to stock this way: PC with win7. Uninstalled all htc drivers. Installed htc sync, connected phone to PC, choose charging only, get into bootloader, changed in a fastboot mode, and flashed RUU with no problems. Hope it helps. Good luck!

Old Scripts (for historic purposes):

http://pastebin.com/b5YWvj3B

I want to say thanks to the work of Tytung, Koush, EZterry, Cedesmith, arif-ali, cmhtcleo, tytung, and Cotulla (feel free to donate to them) because I learned a lot looking from their work.

Any questions, please ask, thanks for looking!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
output=`df | grep /data | cut -d " " -f5`

if [ $output -gt 455680 ]
then
installeu=`df | grep /sd-ext | cut -d " " -f5`
if [ $installeu -gt (size_of_ext_in_mb*1024) ]
then
echo "tmous=false" >> /tmp/device.prop
else
echo "tmous=true" >> /tmp/device.prop
else
echo "tmous=false" >> /tmp/device.prop
fi

This script will also let automate eu or tmous install,

if /data size is greater than 445 mb ( higher than what eu can have ) then it checks if /sd-ext size is also big (if user wants eu install on tmous device) otherwise it continues with normal tmous install.

Sorry if i can't interpret exactly what the script does because I'm not a native english speaker.

I wrote this yesterday for dunc001 when he needed automation in tbd rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rashidkn:
great idea ... waiting to complete ....:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] s8isfi:
Nice to see the android install process getting streamlined this way...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Marvlesz:
And then we would be able to implement automatic partitioning. Where a certain ROM would repartition system, boot and cache partitions automatically upon installation. (I don't think that's going to happen, or probably will, but in the long run :D)

Anyway, great to see those two ideas put into work. The more automatic installation becomes, the easier it is for newbies :D.

Appreciated.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ayyu3m:
Great implementation! Great idea.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
thanks for sharing this great idea:D

i'm sure everyone all want this nice script!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jianC:
I updated it to make it less "clunky", we can now run everything in updater-script :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dunc001:
We've now got an auto install working for TBD which uses the /data size check to detect EU or TMOUS, then runs a check for existence of mmcblk0p2 (sd-ext) whether TMO or EU. If TMO is detected with no ext then TMO ROM configuration is installed. If TMO or EU with ext partition is detected then EU ROM configuration is installed. And if EU with no ext is detected then a warning message is displayed, /system is reformatted and installation is aborted. cLK detection is also incorporated for kernel installation. So now we have a fully automated install process regardless of bootloader, phone model and ext partition :)

The only thing we haven't checked is if someone has a TMO phone with no ext partition but with a Swap partition whether the swap partition would become 0p2, in which case we'd just need to add in an fschk to see if it is swap or not.

Anyway, the ROM is uploading now so I'm sure we'll hear soon enough if there is an issue LOL

Thank you so much for the inspiration for this and for the original idea :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jianC:
You can check the partition type with "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 print" and use grep or sed to read.. I'm currently working on a script for that

EDIT: I reverted to old version because the updated version did not seem to be working consistently with the "test" command..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kylew1212:
So if I add all the files needed for magldr & clk and put this in my updater script it will automatically detect what files to install or do I need a different script for that??

Also would I need to include both a boot.img and boot folder??

Another thing, when building my rom, I added the ril wrapper and a few other things in the build.prop file.. I don't know if thats correct or not but it worked and booted.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jianC:
Yes. You should add all the files needed for clk into the rom also
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jianC:
I finally got around to writing it.. I don't know if anyone else has already done so but this is completely based on my research and work..

I am sure there is a way to make the code less 'lengthy' but it works for now...

in script (or add to checksys.sh or wherever)

#!/sbin/sh
# Check for mmcblk0p2 partition type
# e334 <e334cn@gmail.com>

tp=$(parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 print | egrep -i 'ext[2-4]|linux-swap' | awk '{ print $5 }')
pr1=`echo "type=$tp" | cut -c -8`
echo $pr1 >> /tmp/nfo.prop

in updater-script

# Sample
if file_getprop("/tmp/nfo.prop","type") == "ext"
then
ui_print("Second Partition is Ext!"
else
ui_print("Second Partition is Linuxswap!"
endif;

If you change the name of "part=" to something else, make sure to change the cut deliminator also..

You can figure out the rest :)

I hope this benefits the community even though I'm not that good at scripting and I don't have my HD2 anymore.
