If you get a chance read through this a bit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290009

It may help understand the structure and how to use edify. I'm on mobile right now so it may be a bit tough to look at your current .zip but if you don't have an answer by the time I get to a PC I'll have a look

But I will say off hand what youre trying to do will be fairly easy.

Grab a ROM that works for your phone

Extract the contents of the zip

Get rid of everything but the META-INF folder

Go to the updater-script

Erase all and write your own (if on windows use notepad++)

What you will need to do is mount system, then say where to take the app from and where to put it

Then have it fix permissions

The unmount system

Now zip it up with your app

Sign

And your good

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
See HERE. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
so just had a look at you .zip

youre missing your updater script and update-binary

so again, take this from a recent rom from your device and put them in META-INF

so file structure

META-INF/com/google/android and here put those two files

and your updater script should be simple, something like

ui_print("mounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("fbutton/system", "/system");
ui_print("setting permissions");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
ui_print("unmounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

but feel free to edit in whatever or define the actual system partition, your choice

best of luck!

well but i aslo used the meta-inf file which is in my root file (attached ) and root file worked well , i uploaded the root file and the file after edit with meta-inf from root file can you check it out?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
oky thanks i will check it out and reply :] thanks for you help ^_^
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
well , i edited the updater-script and still the same problem :s i attach the final zip and can anyone of you check it out for me :] , also when i enter cwm i selcet install zip for sd card is that right? or i should do anything else ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you have an extra folder, META-INF ans system folders should not be inside lite

if you open your zip youll see what i mean

so rezip these two folders, sign then flash through recovery

also you may need to add a chmod for permissions in your updater-script - either just for new app or all of system, either way will work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
Yuup finally ! its worked welll !!! thanks alot man :]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
well it said success but when i opened my mobile again i found nothing !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Did you add the set_permissions to the updater-script? If not it won't show up
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
this is my updater-script , is that right ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Depending on your file structure it looks good enough to me, what happens when you flash it now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
it says install form sd card complete but i found nothing ..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Can you upload the whole zip again and I'll see
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohabmoka:
here you are :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
just took a look at it, you have it searching for flite/system which does not exist so change this

package_extract_dir("flite/system", "/system");

to

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

in your updater-script

at this point all should work fine, if not let me know!

I installed the Collective's AoCP 7.2. Everything appears to work except when someone calls me the phone doesn't receive the call. No ring, no vibration, nothing on the missed call list. I just get a voice mail all of a sudden. Everything on the phone worked fine with until this rom install. Any ideas?

try flash a compatible radio. It will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Sounds like a bad flash. Might try wiping and flashing after redownloading the ROM. Before i did that though, I'd try extracting the dialer.apk from system/priv app in the ROM zip, paste it into your system/priv app folder select yes to overwrite current, reboot and see if that fixed it. I know for a fact the phone works on that ROM. I've used it.

I cannot get into phone at all. Screen is not responding. I want to mount my SD card to get my crap off, but I can't get to homescreen to allow PC to mount the drive.

Are you familiar with 'adb pull' command? I'd do that command to pull everything on the SD card and then restore the phone with LG flash tools.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
No, but I will google it. You think that will work? Am I pull root and below or do you choose folders to pull?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
You can choose folders to pull but it'll be easier to just 'adb pull /sdcard/ C:\User\Destination\folder' and that will pull everything from the SD card to a folder

I've done that many times, the only thing it didnt work was when it wanted to pull a file with Cyrillic or arabic letters it would not pull those files.

I have a Verizon Note 3 and this morning several apps started force closing or stopping every time I used them. Instagram, Google Search, and Gmail, whenever i open a message ( list view was fine). I started with uninstalling the apps, clearing cache and defaults and everything. After that didn't work i did a factory reset and the only thing that changed was the gmail now works fine but the rest force close in about 2 seconds every time. I tried Norton antivirus and that force closes immediately too. Even the crash reports process crashes when trying to report them. and ideas where to go next besides Verizon?

Hi! Well, I didn't even use your tutorial (yet), but still I just wanted to say thanks for your work. All the work from everyone that is contributing useful stuff should be rewarded once in a while, if only by a simple "thanks!" <-- so there you go :D

P.S. Now that I come to read the PDF, isn't the location for the ext rom (as noted in step 4 in your tutorial) '\Extended_Rom', that is, with an underscore ('_') and not a hyphen ('-')? I am pretty sure it is spelled with an underscore.

write this way- \Extended_rom

Extended_rom

the error has been corrected in the new version of the tutorial.as descussed before.

warnig;

PDA Mobiz cabs in the extended rom are made for that rom only if u use those cabs it will screw everything as those cabs were hacked and some of them only have registry settings/shortcuts for programs that were integrated into the rom,

for example. the opera.cab only contains some files of the program ,i guess he could not integrate everything into the rom.so if u use that cab it will install but it will not work.

My close encounter...

First, a thank you to faria for your excellent tutorial. I managed to make my own extended rom with little fuss. Of course, when I flashed it, my laptop decided to quit on me halfway through. :cry:

The wizard booted into the bootloader, so I thought, okay, no big deal, I just flash again. Then the update utility gave me the error 300 invalid update tool (I'm running Mr. Clean on Cing 8125, original ROM was 1.8 ). Quick search on the forum, and seems that one of the cause is if your unit is not CID unlocked. (By now, I was getting worried :shock: )

I was going to simply re-flash Mr. Clean again, when I noticed that update utility provided are different, and Mr. Clean utility runs fine. So what I did was flashing my ext ROM using Mr. Clean utility.

I guess faria has his reason to provide an updated/hacked?/new utility, anyway, just sharing my experience.

PS: I was somewhat confident that I couldn't brick my unit because I'm not touching the IPL/SPL, but what happen if when doing a flash that changes IPL/SPL and your computer died at that particular area (probably due to bad karma :D )? Do you end up with a fancy paper weight or is it salvageable?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] badgerboybadger:
I am having issues with this...

My Extended_ROM flashes to my device correctly but when it runs only the first cab is installed...

The device then gets stuck and doesnt install any others. I have reordered the cabs in my config.txt and it still gets stuck on the second cab.

I reset the device and looked in the extended rom with a file manager - all of the file names are corrupt?

The ROM I am using for a Qtek 9100 with AKU-2 downloaded rom the vodafone site.

IPL 2.17

SPL 2.17

Any ideas? Is this to do with the Start Address?

What is the restriction on the total file size allowed in an extended rom?

NOVICE, computer experience...lol :shock:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
Re: My close encounter...

if the flash goes bad to revive the device u need to install an official rom.

mr,clean/summithers WONT WORK. if the installation stops when the bootloader is being updated, the u are in trouble,the only way to revive the pda is to send to the operator/htc to be reprogrammed via hardware

.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
this happens because;

1 or more cabs is corrupted

2- U did not set the offending cab to read only in winimage

3- The offending cab needs user input, therefore it stops the installation because is waiting for the user to confirm something in the dialog.

To rule out if the cab file is not set to readonly, open the extended rom with totalcomander, if all the cabs are intact then the files are all set to read only, if u sees everything messed up in the extended rom then that is the problem.

Total file size is 10 mb in the extended rom

All this is in the tutorial.

If the problem persists post the all the cab files names that u are using then we will find out witch is the problem.

ps

To find out witch cab file is messing with the installation. load the extended rom, keep looking at the install process ,when it stops find out the name of the cab file that installed prior to the extendedrom crashed, that is the

offending cab.

Hi.

First, THANKS for your effort, It´s VERY helpful and simple to follow.

However, I´m trying to make a full ROM package (i.e. IPL, SPL, Radio ROM[not mine but last version from HTC], Splash Screen I already created and of course a custom extended ROM).

I will much appreciate any hints on how to build the full update package, and I think many others are also waiting for that help.

Can you "cook" in files that are not CAB's ????

This would be a great place to keep all those stand alone .EXE files that are used very regularly. Specifically/and must be EXE files that don't write back to the original folder.

Stuff like PHM Regedit, Dictionary Programs, Calculators, network IP managers/calculators and such.

Not only that, but you could also create a cab file that will install shortcuts in your Start menu to those files.

if you load files into the ExRom, that are not cabs, make sure you DO NOT include them in the Config.txt file. Otherwise they will execute and because the Screen is locked, you will not be able to successfully install the ExRom..,
