Well, I have linux installed in a VM on windows to be able to do anything I need to(and I have a dedicated linux system on a windows desktop for more processor intensive things).. but long after I had unpacked/repacked the boot.img I figured out the dsixda kitchen can do it with the same exact result(with much less typing).

Is there a benefit to doing it the long way(which I have bookmarked somewhere and had a script for on my OSX install), because I've been focusing on trying to figure out shortcuts to get things like this done(after I realized how much time I've wasted!)

Edit: I recently installed a fresh bootcamp on my mac to be able to take advantage of the windows/linux tools that seem so common, because I was having such a headache figuring out how to accomplish the same things in OSX.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
i actually just installed ubuntu 10.10 on a old laptop (thinkpad t42... i meant ancient lol) and unpacked the boot.img. i started messing with the init.rc but then the old laptop locked up and froze. :( lmao so i will mess with it tomorrow when i have the patients to fix the lockup problem.

but for now it doesnt seem like too much of a daunting task. do you guys think editing the init.rc's bootclasspath will work?

BTW, i used this guide to unpack it lol :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477845
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Bookmarked! If you haven't used dsixda's kitchen you should- it works in any OS- all were equally a pain in the ass(for me) to setup! But though it was mainly for noobs in the obvious features, it can save a LOT of time!

Run a rom thru it, it breaks the updater-script(who cares if you understand this), but then you can deodex with a button press all of the files in one shot- no errors! Go to the kernel unpack/repack option and it creates a folder, either put in the boot.img or the unpacked files, press a button and it is done for you!(friggin awesome!) Same idea for signing a file, I have a script written for it, but you can just put it in a folder, press a button, and done. It has scripts built in for compiling and decompiling(I still choose to do this by hand) and a lot more.

Anyways, this is just one of the time savers.. though that link you gave is useful, I will skip as many steps as possible as long as I can be sure that I'm not screwing anything up..

I don't mean to assume you don't know about the kitchen, but if you DON'T, the thread is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

EDIT: I used 10.10 for a while but had some issues like that(while leaving the computer for DAYS compiling a build of ICS for my nook color), I installed 11.10(I think that is the number) and didn't have those issues anymore- I am currently testing 12.xx(whatever) in my VM, and I am pretty happy. No matter how old the laptop, I am sure it can handle 11.10 if it can do 10.10
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
Oh yeah, I understand all that info you posted lol.

And the old laptop I put ubuntu on is really weak. Like its on its last limbs. Lol

But yea, I have the kitchen setup in cygwin on my desktop. I was just bored so I thought is go the extra mile and use linux :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I only use cygwin for the kitchen, when I try to use it for any bash commands or anything else that simple, I get errors. In my VM linux it works flawlessly.. tho I am proud of all the windows tools I have found to make all of this work possible without having to boot into linux- notepad++, windows grep, winmerge, 7zip(so I don't even have to unzip anything to repack a zip).. less and less do I have to boot into anything else.

And I am convinced there is some part of the process of porting for the amaze I am missing- I have ported multiple things for my old phone(vibrant) without an issue.. yet the exact same processes with the amaze and the leak just isn't working for me- is there something different about porting a htc device than other devices?! It is driving me NUTS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
I use all those tool too lol. Except I prefer winrar over 7zip.

And yeah I know man, I could get anything booting on my old phone. But this phone seems alil different... All we can do is keep trying though
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I've been wondering for a while if other people have experienced this, but for my old phones the experiences differed HUGELY between one person and the next, and it was MUCH easier to brick-- this damn phone runs solid no matter what mistakes I have made. I just can't seem to get the force closes that I was used to trying to modify things like I did with my old phones.

Yes, something is hugely different when it comes to getting totally different software running, but damn it.. something about this phone is more willing to accept errors rather than have constant issues! It just works no matter what the hell I do! Well, it works except for the numerous ports I have tried to get running..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
My last phone was litterally impossible to brick... You could flash firmware from a different phone and recover it lol. But yeah, Ive been trying sense 4. I think I might have to check the bootclasspath thing.

I also wanted to try to port lewa os
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Has anyone made any progress on this? Unless something has already been done to get the cpu/board working, I think this is the problem.. porting from the vivid would be easier in this way - and I'm still confused about what is different about porting HTC - I know for sure that I should have this booting by now(but I always used a port very similar in hardware)..

Because this has been so frustrating and I'm out of ideas I've been working on other projects and learning how to modify kernels(and god THAT is frustrating!)

And are any of you willing to share some of the sources you use or have found for porting? I have a whole bunch, but when I look at them there is no step I've missed :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Well the amaze is a tricky one, not only do we not have a WiFi source but the amaze is one of the only devices of its kind, so using guides can only get you so far.

Unless Xboarder puts his hands deep in this I don't see this getting extremely far because he is the only one I know that has done a successful port and gets mostly everything working

We should ask him for help over at his forums
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I know, I agree.. the only reason I haven't contacted him so far is because he seems so secretive about HOW he gets things done(plus I've been too lazy to sign up for a millionith forum, lol).. since last I checked his amaze was toast, you think he'd be willing to do a small write up we can all refer to?

And there were a few other devs who have done similar things, I didn't see in your "where'd the devs go" thread an answer to where they actually went, but are there any there you think might be helpful?

The million other projects I've been working on have all been successful(more or less), I am getting frustrated this ONE thing has been the thing I can't get done! And I'm sure it is some small thing that is just totally different with this phone.. frustrating as hell.

Right now I am trying to get all my git and everything setup on my new windows install - then I think I will be able to do just about everything on this rather than my desktop linux box.. I wish I had given bootcamp more harddrive space, I've filled up almost 80gigs just getting everything SETUP.. sigh.

So you got this, so we don't all assail him with questions? I have a strong feeling he will know exactly what it is we aren't doing.. because as far as I can tell I/we did everything we are supposed to with the boot.img and /system
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmylanman:
As a quick Linux aside, I would definitely invest in checking out lightweight distros meant for lower spec PCs, maybe using XFCE or LXDE. I say that because my computer is using up around 5GB and has pretty much everything I need on it including a ton of development libs

How dare anyone come into a thread and start hating on a dev????

What have you done that's equally as important???

When it comes to bashing on the devs we should have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy.... Because like I said many times before..... XDA IS NOTHING WITHOUT DEVELOPERS..... No matter how much content they contribute......

We are all brothers and sisters of the world...l

I have a problem with my phone .

My Phone is Motorola Fire XT311.

I rooted it by this way http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19133663

It was working okay and all applications which need root access was working good . but suddenly I noticed some problems with my phone and some root applications wasn't working good . so I decided to format the phone from the recovery mode. but it seems that my root is not working anymore , because all root applications say that they can't get access root from SU , I check the allow list in SU i found it ok and the application is allowed but it can't work . I tried to Unroot my phone but superone click says that ( Automatic version check failed. Is your OS Version 2.0 or higher ? ) I click yes but the unroot process can't complete.

that is not the first time to reset factory and always the phone working ok after the factory reset, also that is not the first time to unroot my phone then re toot it .

Could you Please help me or give me Instructions ?!

I tried to search for the original rom but I don't know how to find it and also don't know how to install it.

my current version of android is 2.3.5

[RECOVERY] [4/5/16] TWRP 3.0.2-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project

TeamWin is proud to present TWRP 3.0.2-0 for the Galaxy Note (ATT)!

Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIvWVS_Rkxo

Full TeamWin credits are on the TWRP page on the TeamWin website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Decryption of /data

Easy selection of internal/external storage

See changelog below for new features

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

FAQ

Q. How do I see/use/change between internal and external SDCARD?

A. Please use the Mount page to change between using internal and external. Click Using internal sdcard will allow you to use your internal sdcard to install ROMs. Click Using external sdcard will allow you to use your external sdcard to install ROMs. Please dont use the file browser to find the mounts as this is done for you automatically when you change options and navigate back to the Install page.

To be clear this works as follows:

1. internal emmc sdcard mounted on /emmc

2. external sdcard mounted on /sdcard

3. You can choose what storage you want to use on most screens by selecting "Use external SD" or "Use internal storage"

4. Otherwise you can browse to the appropriate directories

Q. Are TWRP backups compatible with CWM and vice versa?

A. You cannot flash a CWM backup in TWRP and vice versa. Please flash appropriate recovery to restore your backup. You can restore the backup, flash back to your wanted recovery, then make a backup in that recovery for later use.

Q. Can I have TWRP and CWM installed at the same time?

A. There is only one recovery partition that can hold a specific version of recovery. CWM, TWRP2, and Samsung 3e are able to be flashed to recovery, but none can coexist.

Q. Does USB mounting work in recovery?

A. Sorry haven't updated this. It works with internal and external sdcard.

Q. Where is the "Delete battery stats opton?"

A. We removed this option in 2.1. Please see https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT as reference.

Q. Installing Roms

A.All ROMs should be able to be installed.

Please post in this thread if you have any issues flashing.

Q. How does MD5 checking work?

A.To create a md5 for a rom perform the following steps:

1. Open a terminal emulator or use adb and cd to the directory your file is located.

2. Execute busybox md5sum rom.zip > rom.zip.md5 where rom.zip is the file you want to create a md5 for. Make sure that the md5 file has the same prefix as your original file with md5 appended with a period.

3. Check force checking of md5 in Settings in TWRP or after the Install file selector page to check the md5.

Q. I can't name my backups.

A. Make sure to hit enter on the keyboard and not the back button to accept the name.

Q. What's next?

A. Fixing bugs.

external sd not working?

how to install from external sd and backup to external sd?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
You can change that option in the mount page to use external sd on the install page. This recovery can also be installed by goomanager from the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
do we have to remove cwm to install this?

does it become your default recovery when you install it?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Yes you cannot have more than one recovery installed. You can always reflash cwm if you need to with TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
so, what is the recommended procedure to uninstall CWM, and install TWRP?

when you flash twrp, does it ask you if you want to uninstall CWM?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsmitty166:
Looking good man. Installed from goo.im with no issues. Except even after mounting sd/ext, the external is blank?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sdc177:
I hope this is a sign of other things to come:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsmitty166:
Actually I discovered when selecting internal vs external, they are reversed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] assaace:
Backup rom with cmw it takes more than 5minutes.

When i use this twrp2 it only takes few seconds, is it normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Flashing the zip through CWM overwrites the recovery partition with TWRP2. It's like installing a ROM that overwrites /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Try going in and out of the Install page. I noticed a refresh bug sometimes happens after changing from internal sd to external sd and vice versa.

EDIT:

Just read your next post. You are saying that the internal and external cards are reversed? Can you verify this for me? I didn't have this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsmitty166:
Yeah man, just looked again

select use internal...and only see external

select use external...and only see internal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
There is a GUI bug that sometimes shows successful but the console will still show that its running. We are looking into this issue. Make sure to pay attention to the console if this bug happens and please send me a copy of /tmp/recovery.log. You can used the Advanced Page to copy the logfile to sdcard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icandy75:
Ok hoping for a little help. I tried this recovery before and for some reason it didn't see any zips no matter where I had them stored. Tried again today and still no dice. What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
You need to look harder...it will find them but may not be technically what or where your root browser says. For example. My root explorer on my rom says sdcard for int and ext sd for ext but in twrp even though i click internal it still shows ext. I have to scroll up a level and my int. Stuff is in emmc....try that

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Sorry been on vacation. Goo was having issues a couple days ago I thought by losing all the files. It might not have been finding anything when you tried to use it. There is a mirror link at teamw.in/twrp2 now from techerrata.

If you browse away on the internal and external folders in the twrp file browser, it will save that location the next time you use the specific page. So you will see the wrong folder until you browse back or reset settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
Id still like the option, just to see what my stats become after playing around with removing programs, updating driver, and general what-not changes (after-all, it does change whats reported in the Battery Use screen)... but I understand its removal to help dispel the placebo effect of getting better battery life when using it.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

*Also, the fact that you mount the internal storage as /emmc instead of /sdcard, and thus mount the sdcard as /sdcard, has me LOVING TWRP, if ONLY for that small thing... If I access /sdcard, I want to be accessing my REAL sdcard! Its the small things in life that make my day :P

EDIT: off to find out how to flash this from a totally stock GNote :X
