MTK SoC Boot.img

Hi Ricky,

First up thanks for this tool :good: You have done a awesome job on it from what I can see so far. :highfive:

I have not had too much time to play with it because of other projects and work commitments :(

I notice there are still issues unpacking and repacking mtk boot.img's :confused:

It's not too much of an issue because I can do it manually but It would be cool for your Kitchen to do it automaticly :fingers-crossed:

********************************************************************************
it appears your device is unsupported, the tool can be used however the only
disadvantage is that you have to manually edit the updater-script to add
kernel extraction.
the lines are there but commented out, all thats needed is to uncomment and
add the correct block path.
also consider contacting me ricky310711@xda-developers to gain support so all
users can benefit.
********************************************************************************

This seem's to be the most common call for the boot.img in most updater.scripts

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "bootimg"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

This is the recovery's "TWRP" call for flashing the boot.img.

mountpoint fstype device
/boot	emmc	/dev/bootimg

This is the actual block path.

/dev/block/mmcblk0

Can you advise on which one is supported by the update.binary and can you give me the exact way to enter it in the updater.script word for word :o

Can you advise how I could implement michfoods v2 drag "n" drop mtk boot.img unpack and repack tool Here

I will attach a couple of mtk boot.img's one mtk6589 and mtk6582 and a recovery.img for you to test. ;)

Regards bigrammy. :cool:
[Android Software Development] ShinySide:
The line is already there, look for it in the updater-script, uncomment means to remove the # at the beginning of the package_extract line for the boot.img.

So if your boot partition block is mmcblk0, add it at the end like :

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0");

I just use,

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

so I dont have to look up any block, but dont know if that'll work with an mtk device or if theres a "version" of that for mtk devices
[Android Software Development] bigrammy:
Thanks for this ShinySide. :good:

The

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0");

is no problem but my boot.img is named bootimg (No Dot) so would this be the correct way :confused:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0/bootimg");

Sorry If this all seems Nooob ish :o just not had much to do with the updater.scripts before other than minor edits and I seem to always miss a comma stop or forward slash or some thing :laugh:
[Android Software Development] ShinySide:
rename your boot.img to boot.img Always .img (or .png .jpeg .txt etc etc) Not having the period removes the extension which in lot of cases corrupts said file

package_extract_file("name of file with its extension ( .img) ", "its path to destination");

And itd be

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0");
[Android Software Development] bigrammy:
Haha I think I did not explain it very well :silly:

I have a boot.img but when it is flashed to the phone by other updater.script's it's re-named to "bootimg" no period as it is in the stock ROM. :good:

So I want to flash the boot.img to "/dev/block/mmcblk0" and have it named bootimg on the phone. :confused:

eg: package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0");/ (Name as bootimg no period) :eek:

Sorry for the confusion ShinySide :D

I don't know why the author has removed its link ..
[Android Software Development] bigrammy:
Under Downloads on the link given you will find all stable versions v1.04 is the oldest (upload date gives you a clue) :rolleyes: Stable that means all the features are usually confirmed as working.

So the features of the Beta version's that were working are likely to have been passed to the Stable v1.04 and up. :silly:

If you can't figure this stuff out dude I very much doubt you will be able to use the tool correctly anyway so I would advise you quit while ahead or you will no doubt end up bricking your phone :eek:

Oh my God .. This thread was created on 21st March 2013, and you are providing me links of 2014 ...

as I requested that I need as per thread title Android Everything Tool .. whose link was provided in the first Post Download Link which is dead with message File Not Found
[Android Software Development] bigrammy:
Dude as I explained these are the same tool :mad:

The one you refer to all the time which was posted on this thread was a BETA Version which was for testing. Do you understand this so far :confused: If you do move to the next.

When you get through testing a BETA version anything not working is removed all the things that worked are incorporated into the stable version (2014) which are now on a proper DEV Thread because the BETA Testing is complete!!!

You will not receive any support at all for this Beta version so if something does not work thats tough you are on your own :p

Ricky removed the tool for good reason so I will respect that and will not mirror and post any links to the old beta version here.

[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
thanks :)
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Thanks, but I'm actually struggling to get the SuperCID. I'll try your hint.

Does the phone need to be on a custom rom or can I use the stock JB rom? Bootloader = 2.15 S-on.

What I managed to do is unlock the bootloader and install a recovery, but flashing the ViperRom does not work. The phone seem to hang after the first reboot. Or does that take longer than 15 min? It seems to require a boot.img which need to be flashed seperatly, but I don't know when :o

I think I need a push in the right direction, but I don't want to hijack your topic with my n00bing.

Coming from a Samsung phone a HTC prooves more tricky :p
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
did you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik before installation? you can do that with my tool!

also my htc sensation xl was also unable to get supercid aswell, i still to this day do not know why... but try the command! see what happens
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Re: [TOOL] HTC Everything Tool UPDATED 3.0!

Yes, I wiped all except for the internal storage.

I'll try the command. Thank again.
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Hi Ricky,

So I unlocked my bootloader again which went fine.

Rebooted the phone, enabled usb debugging and disabled fast boot. Then this is what happens:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

... INFO ville_init_sd, SD card already power on

INFOsdhw_7xxx_open: id=0

INFO[SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached

INFO902910 902E20

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 1.282s

and then the bootloader is stuck and I need to hold to power button to get is back to life. I ran the command from the Etv3 folder.

The phone is recognized by my notebook so I don't know why I get the error No device attached.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
mount r/w

fastboot oem writecit 11111111
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Where do I mount r/w?

You mean I need to root the device first?
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
nope you just need to mount it via adb
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
I relocked the bootloader for now and ran RUU because I need to use my phone, but I'll try again tonight.

So what I'll do next is:

unlock bootloader with unlock-code.bin (can use the same bin sent by htcdev as before I presume).

reboot bootloader

put phone in fast boot

connect with adb

fastboot oem writecit 11111111

please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. Appreciate the help :)
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Ok, so I started from scratch.

I re-locked the bootloader and ran the RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe

Next I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted the device with TWRP. No problems there.

Then I tried fastboot oem writecit 11111111 but that gives the following error:

... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.013s]

finished. total time: 0.013s

It seems I need to use: fastboot oem writecid 11111111

but that fails as before:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

... INFO ville_init_sd, SD card already power on

INFOsdhw_7xxx_open: id=0

INFO[SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached

INFO902910 902E20

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 1.282s

Did I miss something?
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.013s]

finished. total time: 0.013s

^^ this is the problem i had, i never found a solution, but after testing lots of roms it let me :/
[Android Software Development] ryanshew:
Re: [TOOL] HTC Everything Tool UPDATED 3.0!

You have to be s-off to use that command. Now, you'll have to mmcblk0p4 and hex edit it manually, then push it back.

HTC_One_S | ViperOneS_2.2.0 | Elemental-X_3.3 | S-OFF
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
I was s-off and the command still did not work? hmm, must be a wierd error?
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
Ah, that might explain the problem :o

I'll give that a go when I find time.

Hope it works being on root.

Thanks so much for the help. Much appreciated.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
try flashing while s-off? i tried but still got error? :/
[Android Software Development] lejohn:
SuperCID worked by modifying the file manually.

Now I'm stuck on S-off :o

Completed all the steps, but after the reboot I'm still S-on. Need to figure out what goes wrong.

Thanks for the help :good:

Updated to AETv4.5
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
semi-final build coming soon
[Android Software Development] Crash1k:
First of all, this seems to be a really nice tool, great work and nice contribution to the XDA community, keep it up.

I have a question regarding the compitability: Is this tool compitable with the Samsung Galaxy S3? Here it does say that this works for all phones, but in the instructions file it says that for this tool to work you need some HTC apps - thats what confuses me.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
any device that uses adb and fastboot are compatible
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Semi final build uploaded!!
[Android Software Development] TechMasta:
Very nice work! This will make life much easier for noobs :highfive:
[Android Software Development] AndDiSa:
... A fool with a tool is still a fool.

Learn about your device, do the first steps without any toolkit and then when you later on you should eventually use a toolkit to ease your life. Just my 2¢
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
the whole point of this tool is to simplify adb and fastboot so they dont have to learn all the adb and fastboot commands, its a tool to help noobs, if they wanna learn they can read the guide in my signature!

also update coming out within the next 2 days!
[Android Software Development] AndDiSa:
I agree that they should learn, but unfortunately they wouldn't ... :(

Just my experience.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
agree
[Android Software Development] calikevin:
Not everyone who wants to root their phone is a developer or familiar with command lines.. this will open a lot of peoples minds as to what their phone is actually capable of, and make them want to learn more. If not, well.. you helped some noobs. Most people don't.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
im so cautious people wont be able to use my tool because they dont know what to open so my final is gonna include an istaller, but i wanna get a bug report of this version first before i release a final, i hear that some phones dont go into fastboot after rebooting into bootloader?
[Android Software Development] Samer Diab:

hi m8,

thanks for ur work here :thumbup:

but I tried 5 beta, and now with v6 I have to install it on pc, why?

sent from my G-Note
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
because the new update comes with lcd density changer integrated, it backs up your stock build.prop file and it needs a secure save location so ive make a quick semi installation file so the backup build.prop is safe!

any features you request in build 7 feel free to request!
[Android Software Development] lozohcum:
Are you going to make it for Ubuntu too?
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
I will try to find some time to convert it to linux, but at the moment I'm working alot, so unless someone on xda would like to port it for me there won't be a release anytime soon sorry

I tried to flash CMW and a new ROM and nothing worked. Scripted failed a few times as well as it stopped working itself. I have rooted Xperia T with unlocked bootloader.
[Android Software Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Maybe try flashing it again, as no one else has errors, also you must have a boot loader that supports flashing.zip files with fastboot
[Android Software Development] terra-starr:
Thanks for the app. I'm hoping to root the AT&T Note 8.

I run the root tool (3) it looks for files in c:/users/ricky/......

I'm assuming this us a problem and it should be looking to where I loaded your program's folder.

Thank you

Be sure you installed it properly, the directory should be c:/program files/aetV6.0
