[HTC Desire 526] BigCountry907:
Partitions With a File / File Names / What files to use.

Well we are over the GPT hurdle. Open your generator and open the 526-EMMC-read1.txt in a text editor.

Check all the data in the generator with the data in the 526-EMMC-read1.txt.

Everything matches perfectly so our generator is good to use.

After we generate a new image.

We will want to create a new generator with the data from the new image GPT.

If everything matches in the new image. Were good to go. Thats what the check GPT tab and spreadsheet in the generator is for. :victory:

Putting the pieces all together/ WHAT FILES AND HOW TO NAME THEM

Basically this is our opportunity to COOK the ROM.

We can use a combination of files from any msm8909 rom Which is the same version or pretty close to the same version. ( Provided it doesn't require a HTC Signature. )

As we go through this we will look at what files must be signed by HTC.

We still have choices even with signed files ( Provided they are from a HTC RUU. )

Later on when we S-off by setting Q-Fuses ( When we blow some fuses ) we will be able to COOK With UNSIGNED Files. ( If they are msm8909 compatible )

This will be another hurdle to get over. But first you need to see how to put the Rom Together then we will discuss and manipulate the Q-Fuses. :crying:

Where to get things to cook into our Rom

#1 From the Manufacturer

First we have all the HTC RUU packages for msm8909 chipset.

This includes HTC Desire 526 / HTC Desire 626s / and the HTC Desire 530.

For Example if there are different variants of the same model and one is easily unlocked wile the other LIKE VERIZON can't be unlocked.

We can use some of the files and data from the unlocked variant to make the cant be unlocked ( Unlockable )

#2 From the So Called Fast Boot Roms. (for msm8909)

A quick couple of searches and we have some sources.

https://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&site=&source=hp&btnG=Search&q=msm8909+fastboot+rom

https://www.google.com/search?sclie...m8909+fastboot+rom#q=msm8909+Firmware&start=0

#3 Example of a really good Rom (for msm8909)

The Rom I will be cherry picking is here.

http://www.needrom.com/download/longcheer-l6350/

Official ROM Longcheer l6350 version: Longcheer-l6350.20150615.T077 – LMY47V

#4 Qcom Board Support Package (for msm8909)

If you are smart an pay attention you should have this by now.

If not do some more searching and reading.

This is an invaluable source that is very very hard to get.

With this we can ultimately compile some of our own stuff and wayyyy wayyyyy more. :silly:

#5 CAF Open Source (for msm8909)

I posted the correct manifest to download.

We can compile our own bootloader with this. LITTLE KERNEL.

So go search around. See what you can find.

An engineering Rom or a User Debug Rom for any msm8909 device could prove to be useful.

After all we want to COOK a Userdebug rom at a minimum.

An engineering Rom would be the Greatest.

In the next thread we will analyze each of the 65 partitions, Decide what to flash, And properly add filenames in our partition.xml. :laugh:
