possible method for modding update.img

not tested..hope it works..:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HEXcube:
It doesn't work for me. I unpacked update.imgs of GingerBread and Ice Cream Sandwich iTabs using AFPtool first. Then i tried NewTuxBox Flash Tools on recovery,boot,system, etc of both GB and ICS images. It didn't work and said Invalid Format or something. I tried running it as administrator. Still no success.

This Newtuxbox tool is very old(released about 2003) . And i ran it from Windows 7 64bit. Maybe the tool isn't compatible wid 64bit. I wonder how the Archos 7 guys did it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HEXcube:
Unpack Android firmware using Linux!

You'll just need a linux distro to do this method. No need to install linux if you don't have one. Even a Live boot would do! Or if you're too lazy to do that, you can use a virtual machine and run a linux distro as guest. :D And it's pretty universal for almost all Android ROMs.

Refer to this thread by spirosbond :

How to modify Custom system.img images

Here's another thread that sreezhere told me about(Link) It gives more explanations like why this method won't work for some ROMs.

This is what i did: I used a Live disk of Ubuntu 12.04LTS (my favourite desktop linux distro :) ). I had unpacked update.img earlier using afptool linux binary from rk29tools and got a folder which contains system.img, boot.img, recovery and other images.

1. Open terminal and cd to directory which contains system.img.

2.

sudo mkdir /media/Android
sudo mount -o loop,ro system.img /media/Android

This command with loop parameter creates a virtual drive(much like mounting disk images or iso with daemon tools or alcohol in Windows). The read only flag ro, because I didn't want to modify anything. Leave it if you're a modder ;).

3. Now, you'll see a new drive appear in filemanager. Open this new drive (mounted at /media/Android) and you can see all the contents of system.img - all the preloaded apps, firmware files, system binaries and much more!

4. To unmount

sudo umount /media/Android
sudo rmdir /media/Android

If you haven't used ro flag, whatever modifications you made in the files will be packed back to system.img

ADB-files work also for Technaxx BigTab 4.0

Hi HEXcube,

I'd like to let you know that only these adb-Files (MobileGo.zip - Version 1.0.26) do recognize my Technaxx BigTab 4.0 via adb. I've spent days to try newer versions from several sdk-files with no success at all until I found your thread. Now I've flashed my BigTab with JB (thanks to OMA) and the adb-connection work also in Eclipse debugging mode very stable. Thank you very much :good::good::good:.

Why_me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HEXcube:
Hi Why_me,

Which version of Windows are you using? XP, Vista or 7? 32bit or 64 bit.

I tried MobileGo on my 32bit XP. Now i'm on 64bit 7. I don't know if it's driver problem or adb problem, but i'm not able to get a connection. So, if you installed any adb drivers for your Techtab, please inform. I wanted a driver for linux too.

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HEXcube:
Take the tab to Intex Care

Actually, i didn't flash the device by myself. I took it to the nearest Intex Care Center and they updated it for free. They've got a toll free contact number. Call them and they'll tell you the location of the nearest Intex Care. You might want to backup your current GB ROM incase if you want it back. If so follow the instructions by sreezhere at the beginning of this thread.

If you really wanna do it yourself, ask sreezhere to upload the firmware which you can use to flash your device. The flashing instructions are also already covered by sreezhere in the beginning of this thread.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolkoz:
My question is plain and simple. I mean, I do know the benefits of rooting like backing up apps, removing bloatware, over/underclocking and so on. But in my own experience rooting the device and putting a custom rom in it automatically made the device less stable and more battery hungry (for some weird reason) plus added many many bugs which made me question why did I do it in the first place. So I'm asking do you feel any improvement whatsoever while using any custom rom? Or do you use custom rom just because you can?:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oulouloul:
It has thousans of reasons.. For simple example while every unrooted users rumor "when will come jely bean? I'm tired of waiting!!" Etc.. i run 4.1.1 jely bean on my SGS3 for 3 months.. its enough.

If you like always research for better and better mobile experience, you have to root your phone. Or simply just say yes for your brand's supply.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
since everbody is aware that customization can happen better with a custom rom over and above the stock one.

and regarding improvement, well it all depends on what sort of customization u need and accordingly the Custom rom and kernel u choose. which do vary from person to person.

and nobody use custom rom because they can but because they need the same to customize the phone accordingly to there need.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
From my experience with my HTC Desire on which I tried a lot of different ROMs you can either:

1) Flash a stable ROM, benefit is that most of the time its faster than stock & includes additional features and is 99% stable. In addition ROMs are improved all the time and new features added that you might not get on your stock ROM or only very late

2) Flash a ROM that is currently under development and not stable, e.g. earlier ICS ROMs for the HTC Desire had features missing and were not very stable

In my case I started with stable ROMs as I need my phone as daily driver, after I got more experienced I switched to (2) and tried the not so stable ROMs as I always like to try new things etc. and you will get all those new features and improvements (sometimes on the cost of stability and or speed).

Basically up to you what you want to do.

For my Galaxy S III I will also start with a rooted stock ROM as currently I do not see that much benefits in the custom ROMs yet (please correct me if I am wrong).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
The answer is also plain and simple. Rooting is to unlock your phone for more customisation and some extra features.

Why we need more customisation and extra features? Because we get bored easily and because we can. :cool:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ElCamino:
Seems that Best Buy has the 16GB Galaxy Note in-stock at the stores, while the 32GB is not yet. Might change as the day goes by, but I would think its worth the extra $50 for the extra 16GB of built in storage.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Entropy512:
Yeah. Originally there was a possibility I would be getting the 10.1 tonight, but I'm really leaning toward the 32GB version. Might be a few days.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] homegeek:
I guess Best Buy will not be carrying the 32 in stores. HHGREGG by me has a $50 off coupon for purchases of $499 and more so I think i will just get the 16GB and at least it will only be $449. I can live.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ElCamino:
For those that want the 32GB, I guess you can get the 16GB now and exchange it for a 32GB when they become available in the store. You would have to pay the difference and hope that it is before the 30 days.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] qnfauf:
HHGregg specifically says that the $50 off $499 cannot be used on Unilateral Price Policy products. I can't imagine Galaxy Note 10.1 not being registered as one because it definitely is.

[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.

So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.

But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.

There are three ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the

good

and the

bad

one and also the

quoted

one:

One (the good)

For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.

Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:

adb shell

this will get you to the phone's terminal

if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su

The syntaxes needed:

This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.

Two (the bad one)

So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:

sidenote:

If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!

The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)

1.

So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files

2.

tick in md5, then ok

3.

No, you're not done :)

open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.

4.

Rename the file to nandroid.md5

5.

Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.

Three (the quoted one)

Also on the 2nd page you will find an alternative solution for the problem which can help you if you have got busybox installed on your device.

The solution resembles the One type of fix, so with quotes here's the one (thanx for Meeshka for it).

If I helped, don't hesitate to push the

Thanks

[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
if you send me the 2 img files i can create an appropirate md5 image of them, but send the one you did, so I can guess what the problem is.

send them to the email of my usr here, or in pm. and mainly, the md5 image has the name "nandroid.md5" like small caption all the way, even the md5? If it is there where it must, it must work, ad absurd it will be "wrong checksum error", but that is another version.

General android section has this, I have learned this from there, but it had only 1st option, and was "discovered" when cwm had generated wrong md5s, the V, in the V the problem is a tad bit different, but the solution is the same.

[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Just created an md5sum manualy from the img files with the name of nandroid.md5, because on the V the recovery doesn't creates them because of cache mount problem.

The recovery process will end in an error message, because cache cannot be recovered, but the main thing will be recovered this way.

I have done the thing with a legacy tcmd, so there is a probability, that they have modified the md5sum algorithm, so if you don't se the stars don't panic. (also it should do the trick even with stars in the file, but wanted to be sure at the time I wrote the post)

md5 mismatch problem solved by a simple way

I kept getting the md5 mismatch problem no mater what I did, trying many different ways to create and verify the nandroid.md5 file.

In the end, I tumble across a Youtube video saying you only need to delete the old nandroid.md5 file create a blank one with the exact same name (using textedit or whatever method suit you) for it to work. The size of this new nandroid.md5 file should be zero since it's blank. This somehow works for me every time.

[HTC One V] avinash@1:
Hi, here is a good news and (still) a bad news.

Good Part ------ I could solve the checksum problem just by deleting old nandroid.md5 and creating another blank file (same named) at the same location. i.e. Replacing the existing file with a blank one.

Bad Part ------ The backup I was depending upon isn't of the Xolo ROM. And Xolo's Original-ROM-Zip is still not working when tried in CWM.

Any suggestions! Please.....................

Looking forward....
