[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathieums:
I've been reading the forum for quite a while now. I never flashed my phone but I'm thinking about doing it soon.

I'm starting to understand how it works. I'm no linux noob but I'm one when it come to phones.

I have a gt-i9000m from bell canada with the last kies update gb 2.3.3

If I want to keep the stock rom but update it to 2.3.6 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881) can I do it?

Are modems compatible with any rom/kernel combination?

Is it worth it?

Thanks

Edit: I want to upgrade since 2.3.3 is full of annoying bugs and lag

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0xQuist:
Hi people,

Im totally new in the Flash/Rom/Recover scene, i got a question about updating my Rom.

A week ago, i rooted my phone and then installed HyDrOG3N-ICS 10.04 on my galaxy s2. 4 days later there came a update (Version 14.04) of the rom, with the instruction "This is a no full wipe".

So i searched on the forum around how to update, and found a post that i just had to "Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache" and next to "Flash the rom".

Well that went good, 4 days later update 18.04 came out. In the Changelog don't stand "This is a no full wipe".

Now, my question is do i need to wipe my phone fully? (Like -> wipe data/factory reset -> wipe dalvik cache -> Then go to mounts and storage -> and do format system)

Im a really confused about this, and appreciate any help.:)

Kind regards,

Pr0x
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabloomi:
No all you have to do is flash it

So no wipe's ?

Of course backup all my data with mybackup root or something?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
A wipe is always recommended but this rom does not require it. Although I'd wipe the caches just in case

After you install a new kernel in 4.0.4 you only get reception when the phone wants???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryands991:
A Kernel doesn't have anything to do with your reception. That is your radio firmware. If you're having issues, flash the 4.0.4 radios. If you've already done it, do it again. Make sure you fully read instructions.

Note: CDMA radio update can take up to 5 minutes, this is normal.
[Xperia Arc General] grimreaper57:
Hi. I have rooted my Arc and would like to know what would happen if i did a factory reset. Would it go back to when i rooted it or would it screw it up.

Also can anyone point me in the direction to a kernel so i can over-clock it. One that is simple and where everything works. I have read some where there seems to be trouble with WIFI.

Thanks Gary.
[Xperia Arc General] Cuerrix:
Hi Gary

You can do a normal factory reset. You will not lose your root and don't mess anything up. I would recommend doomkernel but don't forget to flash the wifi module.

yes,we try to update it ,but if I Put PG76IMG(rom1) in the SDcard ,and the phone boot in fast,when checking sd finish，we can see do you want to update，but this phone no update information，the hboot is locked by manufacturer，and the cid is 11111111. so we call this virus phone.

Go to htcdev.com and see if you can unlock your device, after that it could work

Already s-off，that‘s why the cid is 11111111

the manufacturer off the phone by a machine，and changed the cid ro 11111111。somebody said the manufacturer locked the hboot。

nobody know？

and this phone on the fastboot screen ，we can not see bootloader

Does it say LOCKED at the top?

no

because the hboot is 1.080000，if the hboot is 1.080099 on the top can see locked，but we can not to update to it，when put PG76IMG to the sdcard,

no update information.and this phone we can't use the ADB command，because the bootloader is not unlocked.

[Android Software Development] mackief:
Hi all! This is a guide from

PIRATEPARTY

about the creation of a simple UPDATE.ZIP to flash on your Android phone, in recovery mode.

I've created a repository on GITHUB where you can download the "update.zip" that we'll use and modify.

So, this is the repository: update.zip--for-Android-Devices-

You can download it as ZIP archive and rename it as update.zip .

So, we have now the most important file, that we're going to modify:

All the apps that you want to insert in the archive and install on the phone, must have the .apk estension and you have to put them in /data/app . Then, if you want also the app data files, you have to take these files from your phone, going with a rooted file manager (i suggest Root_Explorer) to /data/data , copying the app folder and pasting it in /data/data of the UPDATE.ZIP.

So we have all the apps and datas that we want. Now, we have to write the script.

Let's go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and open 'updater-script' with a simple text editor.

The only lines that you have to modify are:

set_perm(1000, 1000, 0644, "/data/app/[PACKAGE].apk");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0777, 0777, "/data/data/PACKAGE_DATA_FOLDER");
delete("/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@[PACKAGE].apk@classes.dex");

For each app you have to write these lines. This is an example if you want to put ROOT_EXPLORER.APK in the UPDATE.ZIP:

set_perm(1000, 1000, 0644, "/data/app/ROOT_EXPLORER.APK");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0777, 0777, "/data/data/ROOT_EXPLORER_DATA_FOLDER");
delete("/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@ROOT EXPLORER@classes.dex");

That' all. But if you want to delete some apps from your phone, you have to write between

ui_print("| 80% Installing Applications |");

and

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

this line:

delete("/APK_DIR/APP.APK");

IT'S IMPORTANT TO LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END OF THE SCRIPT, OTHERWISE THE ZIP WON'T WORK!

You can easily find the name of the app going with Root Explorer to /system/app and searching the same app.

If you also want to add your modified Apps, you've to sign them with a simple app: Auto-Sign, putting them in /auto-sign/update/app and renaming it to Launcher.apk .

You can download AUTO-SIGN from the attachements!

With it you can sign your apks or your zip. So, finally, when you'll finish your zip, you'll have to put it in Auto-Sign folder ("/auto-sign").

Then, open Auto-Sign, choose your zip or apk, and click AUTO-SIGN. It will create a new apk or zip, name as SIGNED-apk/zip.

Now, you only have to put the update.zip on your sd-card and flash it! Have fun guys!
[Android Software Development] The_Steph:
mackief,

Thanks for your tutorial. I wrote a removal script for GB that deletes everything i don't use in my ROM. I recently moved to ICS and that very script is still working but, each time, during restart, I lose root rights.

Any idea where it could come from?
[Android Software Development] mackief:
What rom are u using?? What device??

I think that the problem is about the rom, cause you said that u didnt have problem in previous rom and you used the same script...

So, to find the problem, i have to know the rom, the device, and the script.

Can you post the script here?
[Android Software Development] The_Steph:
mackief,

Sorry for having been so long to answer, I was not monitoring the thread :o

I use nightly CM9 roms for my Note (N7000). You'll find attached my latest script that still bothers me.

If you can have a look at it, it would be nice.
[Android Software Development] vua777:
good lession for tweaking my one x
[Android Software Development] mackief:
I'm glad do help you! ;)

I read your script, but i think that the only problem is about the root app: Superuser and his components. So, check out if some elements that you want to delete are associated to Superuser, and dont delete superuser.apk .

However, usually, in CM9 there are some apps that you CANT and HAVE NOT to delete. I suggest to you to read this file: REMOVABLE APPS

So, Superuser gives you root rights, so dont delete it.

Dont delete the list of apps that is on the link above.

The last suggestion is that you have to check if you're deleting something else that can create bugs with superuser and his working.

Write me if you want to know something else or also if these solutions arent useful: i'll help you! Bye! :D
[Android Software Development] Волк:
Interesting guide. I am curious though, you have it setting permissions but have you tried it without doing so? I ask because I made a script for CWM which copies my apk's to data/app/ and I don't set permissions and have no issues. In theory you shouldn't need to, the apk should retain the proper permissions even when copied. As well, why not set the permissions for the entire contents of the folder, ie, set the permission recursively like you do for data/data and have it run at the end of the script once everything is copied?

Lastly, one thing to note with this method of installing apps is that your first boot will take awhile, the ROM has to create the Dalvik for all the apps you just flashed, I hadn't considered that when i first ran my script and thought something was wrong.
[Android Software Development] mackief:
At first, i have to say to u that permissions can be not specified: i think that all the files that u put in a folder have the same permission of the folder. I set permissions only for safety.

Then, about the first boot duration, there's nothing wrong.

The system only take a while to put into effects the changes, creating the Dalvik for example.. Don't worry: it's normal! ;)
[Android Software Development] Волк:
I know it's building dalvik, it simply hadn't occurred to me initially that that was the reason for it not booting. A file can have a different permission than the folder, but I think it's only that you can have the folder r/w and a file r/o. Then, on your script you can just set permissions recursively and save yourself setting permission for each app/file individually.
[Android Software Development] mackief:
Yeah! You can just do it!
[Android Software Development] hermeticist:
Before CWM 5, I used to have a script that would let me add lots of files without individual lines for each.

It worked similar to gapps, where files are separated by commas.

Any ideas?

I will be adding sound files to system/media/audio/alarm.
[Android Software Development] pjgowtham:
What are symlinks?
[Android Software Development] mackief:
U can easily write the package_extract command:

package_extract_dir("???", "/???");

You write the folder, and then the android folder when you want to extract the script package.

Then you set the permission of the folder and all is done! ;)

Symlinks are Simbolic Links, so they link a folder to another folder, for example, a linked folder...

In Windows, you can create a link on the desktop and you can change the name of the linked icon, but it is anyway connect to the same file, with different name.

So, the symlinks are files that connect with other files. When the os see this symlinks, it read the element info to which it is connected??

It's not difficult to understand. I suggest to you to read this: SymLinks

Hope i've helped u all! If it doesnt, ask me again! :D
[Android Software Development] hermeticist:
Thanks.

I'm a little unclear about setting permissions though. Would you mind explaining?
[Android Software Development] pjgowtham:
Thanks i understood
[Android Software Development] mackief:
So, if u want to set folder permissions, this is the code:

set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0777, 0777, "/data/data/PACKAGE_DATA_FOLDER");

And these permissions are for a 'read-only' folder.

If u want to set file permissions, this is the code:

set_perm(1000, 1000, 0644, "/data/app/[PACKAGE].apk");

Also these permissions are for a 'read-only' file.

So do u need something else??

Hope u understood! ;)

nice tuto thank you very much for it

please i am noobe here

i have a unpadte to make but i don't know how here the structure of it

how to do the script please
[Android Software Development] :
First of all i suggest u this program to make your own UPDATER-SCRIPT: Notepad++

So. what do you want to know?

The simpliest UPDATE.ZIP that u can do must have two folder:

1) META-INF: where there are permissions, manifests, and, most important, your script;

2) Another folder: here you'll put the file that u want to put in your phone.

It's so easy! ;) Let me know how you'll continue your work! :D
[Android Software Development] :
Hi! I've seen your script.

I think that the mistake is about text formatting.

Maybe i've forgotten to say it:

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT U LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE, AT THE END OF THE SCRIPT!

So, in 'ur case, i've only corrected it, leaving the tenth line empty! Let me know! :)

I've uploaded the zip corrected! Let's try it!
[Android Software Development] ramzidjoudi:
thank you for reply, what i wont is :

i have folder /system contenant 2 subfolders

/framework and /app

i want a script that force push these subfolders with conenant files with permission

like these commands with adb :

su

stop

mount -o remount rw /system

cp /sdcard/system/framework/* /system/framework/

cp /sdcard/system/app/* /system/app/

mount -o remount ro /system

but under recovery

thanks
[Android Software Development] :
I cant say to u all that u have to do, otherwise u'll never learn how to do it. I'll give u a track to follow:

- Mount SYSTEM;

(- Delete files that u want to delete; )

- Extract System to /System;

- Set permissions for new files and folders;

- UnMount SYSTEM;

Done. If u want u can also use 'print' command to beautify your flashable .zip! ;)
[Android Software Development] ramzidjoudi:
:):):)

thank's
[Android Software Development] Волк:
Thanks, but still doesn't work. I am going to try to copy the commands to another script, it should at least carry out the ui_print and the log copy even if the other commands are bad, so I am starting to think the file is corrupt or something.

However i suggest u to write the script with Notepad++!
