[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
there are some bugs, im working hard to fix all, i think these next 2 versions will be the last for now, im adding 5.1.1 support, arm64 support, and a few other stabillity fixes, after i kill all bugs i will be releasing a GUI of the tool.

no luck on unpacking some 5.1.1 .img files yet, also the build from working bug is due to the new version of 7zip, doesnt pack anything into the presigned zip due to signature verification, so im gonna revert 7zipcto the old version, if you want a quick fix, go to tools/files/presigned and delete tmp.zip and make a new empty zip archive there and name it tmp.zip

sorry for the inconveniance but we will get a complete working rom kitchen for windows and it will be COMPLETELY universal kitchen :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s8freak:
I'm hoping for G925A support [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
ofcoarse, im also gonna add an option to manually add support for your own device and a developer settings menu

plus a way to submit the support file to server through the tool
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s8freak:
Many thanks sir [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION] I am so looking forward to building my own Rom I appreciate your work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
Awesome [MENTION=244033]ricky[/MENTION]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
The tmp.zip fix is working great!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
yep, not sure whats going on with 7zip, seems it doesnt support updating .zip files with a signature ??

im gonna downgrade the 7zip version in the next release

also ive already started the process but im planning on minimizing the tools code, that means a new way of detection for root, busybox etc, the refresh interval between menus is annoying, ive also modified the process to build the updater script, alot more clean and removes the need to comment out lines, just a much neater process, same goes with building aroma config, also i compiled a recovery for my device, if it works ill solve every single but this tool throws at me

im not gonna stop until this kitchen is world wide known, bugfree and the best and preffered tool by everyone to build android roms

ive spoke to a few developers and even they said this tool is the easiest, most explained and simplest way to modify stock roms

kids use this tool, this tool is built for the community to encourage developing and people to use their device how they want it with NO restrictions.

i can do ALL of the tools functions without its need but id like to share the feeling of making something thats yours and made by you to anyone :)

best feeling when i hear someones made their own rom with this tool then gone on to study apk modification and their gateway to software engineering/development
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
forgive my dumbness, but what version is 7zipcto? And is there possibly a direct link?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
sorry *7zip and version 9.20 works fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
UPDATE, recovery for my device is working :) means i can kill ALOT more bugs now without the need for people to test

i can only test on LG D320 so guys please take it easy on me as its my only device and im one of the first people to gain full flexibillity of it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
Making an empty tmp.zip archive allowed the kitchen to build the ROM, but it failed when I went to flash it. The META.INF file was not supposed to be added to the tmp.zip?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
it is, disable zip verification
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
Yep I think when we recreated the zip, it wasn't signed. Which doesn't matter as we are flashing our own rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
I don't exactly understand. Should I extract the files from the original, put them in a new folder named tmp, then rename to tmp.zip?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
Just unpack the content. Create a new archive and put the content inside. And make sure you change the name to tmp.zip. It worked for me, I just didn't sign it. Which I guess I could. [MENTION=244033]ricky[/MENTION], I still have issues deodexing my rom. I still get failures which gives me a not deodexed in the information tool. Any ideas? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
I just changed this and everything is working normally in the kitchen. The ROM I built is nothing more than a current pull from my system, which is working great, so I shouldn't run into any bootloops. I'm doing this to make sure I'm using the kitchen right. Is there a way for me to verify that the kitchen cooked the presigned part in before I flash it? I'd prefer not to bootloop again if I can help it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elliwigy:
ive always used joel droids batch deodexer which works just fine.

i typically have just been updating my rom.zip without the kitchen for now until the updates out since i already have multiple roms..

am just waiting for it to be able to extract my system.img so i can start from a new base lol also so i can upload my stock base for others with my device to utilize
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Verbato:

If you got programming problems

I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems

but a bug ain't one
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
The ROM flashed, but wouldn't boot again. Is there a way to verify the signature before flashing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
as we reach 100,000 views ive decided to rease the kitchen updating all files and making a more stable script and detection methods, so far so good

disk space is being reduced

fixing all options

adding autobuild updater-script feature

setperm and metadata fixes

init.d detection better

downgraded 7zip to fix archiving errors

apk/jar workshop in different package

This release is going to be awesome.

Can't wait to try all the improvements.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
I can't wait for the new release! The directory is an awesome touch!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nudeldampf:
Hey

I'm not sure if this has been asked before. I've read quite a few pages on this thread, but could not find something like this.

When I want to build the rom the building process only takes one second and generates a zip file with only 4KB, containing only the META-INF folder with MANIFEST.MF, CERT.SF and CERT.RSA

I don't know what's wrong, because I'm sure I have everything I need in my WORKING folder (which is over 600MB big)..

Did someone experience something like this?

Thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
Search this thread about 2-3 pages back for tmp.zip. It has to do with the newest version of 7zip causing issues. Ricky is downgrading 7zip in his newest release.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nudeldampf:
Ah, thanks for explaining! I've read this but wasn't sure if this was already implemented or not :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elliwigy:
it will be fixed in his next update which isnt released yet
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
a new feature called file logging is gonna be available in the next release aswell

shows removed, added, deodexed, deartdexed and modified files, this is giving the users a chance to show you exactly what the tool is doing to your rom

i also may be adding a feature to tell you exactly what lines of the files are modified

i think this is a great way to introduce users to development and gain alot of knowledge about how powerful this tool really is, the file logging feature is almost complete, is works but the only bug im facing at the moment is it adds the same file to the list twice if it was detected "Added" by the directory log, also im doing my best to add the file path to it aswell but its proving to be abit dodgy, ill get there :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
and guys, i update my fb page alot more frequently about this tool and roms, so give that a like to know preciely where development is at, also an easier way to report bugs and get to know my supporters personally :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CVertigo1:
I can't seem to find your Facebook page by the name in your profile. I found a fan page with your avatar, but the only thing visible is a profile picture and no details about development.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ricky Divjakovski:
check my signature, it says im a blogger but my bio says abit about what i do

hi ive used dsixda kitchen with cygwin and was wondering if yours will run same way or do i need another cmd terminal? thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Ricky kitchen is windows based so doesnt need cygwin
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jimbomodder:
ok thats good. im used to dsixda so how do i get to rickys kitchen to start building?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Extract the zip go to rom kitchen folder and then double click the windows batch file. Or that's what it used to be, not used windows for a while
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jimbomodder:
ah indeed much easier thanks :good::good:

a little help pls

first of all a great and big thank you [MENTION=5105831]Ricky Divjakovski[/MENTION] for all the work putting together this tool

second ... erm ... some help pls?

I managed to successfully add my device (MTK, DOOGEE DG700, LollipoP 5.0.something) by adding it into the checkdevice.bat, everything works great: unpacking, deodexing, zipaligning, adding su, etc, until the moment that I want to build zip from working folder ... than all I get is a window that flashes quickly, than SUCCESS, the zip file named as my rom saved in the ROMBUILD folder ... BUT, the zipfile only has 4kb, and inside it there is only the META-INF folder, no system or anything else? I apologize in advance if this was asked here earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find an answer to this problem ... so please advice / help

Also regarding the infamous kernelpath, or boot mount point or whatever it calls itself this days I encountered the following:

Firs reading .fstab file got this:

# mount point	fstype	device	[device2]
/boot	emmc	boot
/cache	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
/data	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/misc	emmc	misc
/recovery	emmc	recovery
/sdcard	vfat	/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
/system	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
/custom	ext4	/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

so no luck getting what I needed from here ... I moved on to terminal emulator / adb and all I got was A BIG LOT OF NOTHING !!!

first I used #cat /proc/emmc as SU and got info only for ebr1, protect_f, protect_s, sec_ro, system, data, cache, fat ... no boot or recovery since probably (playing this by ear) were not mounted ...

not willing to give up I moved to

#ls -al /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-num (my path to the partitions tree folder) as SU again, of course which this time gave me another big pile of NOTHING, just mmcblk0pxxxx and sizes of partitions but no names like recovery, root and stuff ... From this at some point after some probing around I got some weird addresses , 2 in fact mmcblk0boot0 and mmcblk0boot1 ... not knowing what to get or understand from this, I left them alone since they seemed rather suspicions and out of the ordinary ...

so I moved on to root explorer probing around the root folder opening as txt any file that seemed related to mounts or partitions to me ... but ... again with a LOT OF SUCCESS in the AREA OF NOTHING towards the goal of finding the kernel/boot address ... so figuring from the fstab file that p1 was missing (played this by ear again since p7 and p8 were also missing from fstab since I had 8 partitions in my by-num folder) I concluded that my boot was mmcblk0p1 and wrote that in the checkdevices.bat.

Now ... I really really am a NOOB at this stuff ... so is there a way (but one made somehow of magic, spice and everything nice, for my china MTK super-phone) to find my real kernelpath ??? Can someone help me with that ... provided that I upload the necessary files somewhere?

Thanks in advance for what answers might you guys give !!

Did you try to the 7zip fix from this post?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62716581
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tvladan:
I just did ... also went one step further and downloaded 7z 9.20 source code and replaced the one in the kitchen ... no luck :( with the empty zip method all I got in rombuild folder was an empty zip with my rom name, and with the 7z downgrade and the original tmp.zip it was the same: only the meta inf folder packed :(

LE: Actually it doesn't even pack the meta-inf folder from the working folder ... it just renames the tmp.zip from the files/presigned and copies it to the rombuild folder, and that is all ... that seems like a SUPER big conspiracy in order to ruin my evening ... :(

LEE: Also forgot to mention in my first post ... when setting up working folder I get this error: compute crc32 of 0xsomenumbersandletters expected 0x0000000000000 but the system image is unpacked properly .... After googeleing this error it seems there is no problem with it ... I guess it might have something to do with my boot.img being kinda special ... and not starting at 0x00000000 since the DOOGEE guys tried and managed to mess up the Lollipop build for this phone ... Also in the working folder the boot.img remains packed ... should it be unpacked or it is ok to remain packed? I see that one from the working is around 2Mb smaller that the original one ... that's a good thing I suppose since the original one is so full of **** ... so less **** more happiness ...

I want to cook a rom for my GT-I9505, device supported. I have downloaded the latest official build (OH2, Android 5.0.1). I have x.tar.md5 file and all the extracted firmware (system.img.ext4, cache.img.ext4,boot.img,. . .). I have put the firmware (x.tar.md5) in the folder called "ORIGINAL", then i started the kitchen, choose the option 1, then i selected "odin firmware" but it give me errors! Program says that can't find the firmware. So i put in the ORIGINAL folder "system.img.ext4" and "boot.img" as requested, and i choose option 5. When ext2explore open, says me that "system.img.ext4.out" is only 4 KB, instead it is 2GB! How can i resolve this?

I use Windows 7 x64. I have ubuntu, too, if it is necessary. Thanks for all, i hope that someone will help me. If you need futher information, ask me. Thanks again

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I extracted my stock rom added root permission and busybox and build a rom zip then flashed it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samep:
Just a guess but maybe your latest device update requires a kernel exploit for root?

I can say my device OEM went this route with last update; root permission via SuperSU zip isn't enough and causes boot loops without also flashing that specific kernel with exploit on my device now. Refer to your device's forum for information regarding minimal root requirements.

If you were already rooted, you should use the same kernel you were running before, if that applies.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samep:
Sorry, it was just a guess. I went no further than trying to unpack the ext4 system image and asked OP/developer for support.

Didn't try the other kitchens but thought this one was a work in progress, possibly having the potential to meet my goal of using the stock tar to customize stock from source. I'm just patiently waiting for support while watching this thread for updates.

the kitchen is going good, the complete rebase is half one and refreshing the rom stats i alot quicker, ive made the tool only refresh the stats if changes have been detected(by file size)

so far unpacking system.img files i have not found a solution for 5.x.x android versions but i will.
