[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
The stock script from the amazon update.bin has set_metadata in it, after the boot.omg is unpacked. Would it matter to put the set_metadata after that?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maksfrai:
I don't think it will change anything. It seems FlashFire is using stock features like recovery/bootloader commands to flash something, so maybe set_metadata which changes permissions is not supported properly on the step or somehow blocked or something else. And I've noticed FlashFire is using update-binary rather than update-script in some cases.

Did you try to modify and flash system image only?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Not yet. Going to be doing that today. The stock script are the same for the Fire7 and HD 10. So not sure how this is the case with flash fire unless the version of flash fire matters. It could be the version(s) we are stuck with won't work for set_metadata. [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] what version of flash fire is the fire 7 using for your rom?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
In the instructions to install fire nexus rom you have to use it using flashfire 0.73
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Correct. Well I still haven't been able to successfully flash anything to the partition. I tried one of the unpacking tools (UR_Tool) and still nothing. Should I flash the boot.img with a system.img assuming I can properly build one?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
Test what you said, to flash the system.img and boot.img
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Have been.it's in the nexus script to unpack boot. It's also in the stock script. Sigh.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maksfrai:
If you're changing system partition to the extent it affects boot partition then yes, you obviously will need to modify and flash it too. I was talking about small changes to system partition like changing default build-in launcher or system ui and such. Also, if you'll need a tool to modify boot image, try this one, it's simple and working fine for amazon devices.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I'll try it later when I get home. I've only tried flashing a whole room. Didn't occur to me to flash just a package or two.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
Any updates?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I tried once yesterday with the linked tool a few posts ago to modify boot.img and it didn't work. Well everything worked up to flashing. I flash and not surprisingly, hangs at the white boot logo or reboots when that logo disappears. I will try again today.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
Oh I'm sorry. It stays in the bootanimation or in the boot logo? Try again as you say
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
The white Amazon logo appears. Not long passes before it disappears and the tablet reboots to it. The white amazon logo disappears around the same amount of time as it would if booting normally.

[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] this maybe a dumb thing to ask, but have you ever successfully modified the ram disk on the fire 7 or any other amazon device? Has anyone?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I finally figured out how to create a system image from the update bin. The tool I use is nice, but I am having trouble getting it to size properly. It always seems to be just over the partition size of 1614(ish) mb or 1.6 gb. The image builds as 1.8gb and I can't get it down to the right size. If I rebuild the .dat files, it creates a system.img with them that I can open as an archive in 7zip and if I just build the image, I have to run it through an unpacker. Which one should I be using to flash or does it even matter? What tool should I use for this? I lost the link to a recommended one.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maksfrai:
I believe we can't build system image larger than system partition because it's impossible to resize partitions due to the locked bootloader. And you can't compress it either, since it's being written to the partition in uncompressed format. It's a big problem actually.

Also, system.img created with .dat patch is a raw image (that's why you can view it without additional tools) and it's being used to reconstruct final image properly. You can flash properly build system.img alone, but for .dat you'll need a proper system.transfer.list as well, so .img is more convenient format.

Before trying to implement major changes to the system partition, try a small one - a different launcher for example. With that you'll be able to find out - are you doing it right or not (maybe it's repacking tool faulty or mismatched/wrong added files or something else).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I have been using mtk extractor. I can't post a link atm I don't know why. But I had extracted and repacked the .dat files and what not and flashed an unmodified system.img and it worked. So I don't think the tool is doing anything wrong.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocketrussian:
Maybe try with a different tools? I've extracted the image file from the update bin using:

./sdat2img-master/sdat2img.py update-kindle-40.6.0.5_user_605485120/system.transfer.list update-kindle-40.6.0.5_user_605485120/system.new.dat system.img

The system.img can be modified by mounting is as a loop device: sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img output/ or using losetup -f --show system.img

Finally, according to this tutorial, you need to re-compress the raw img to a sparse img (after modifying it) using img2simg and finally convert it to a sparse data image using ./img2sdat.py <system_img>

Maybe img2simg is the step that's missing?

I didn't try flashing the resulting image for fear of messing up my current setup.

Hope this helps!

I was just reading about this precise tool and was downloading the required pieces. I however don't have a very good Linux environment right now. A Virtual Machine just doesn't cut it. So I am trying to find a Windows bundle or try and make one up.

It turns out it was the tool. I ran a few small tests and there was definitely something not right.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maksfrai:
I was talking about the same tools as pocketrussian on the first page but with gui interface which allow you to modify unpacked /system directory without linux or something, but hey, who cares.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pocketrussian:
The first two utilities are in Python and would run in Windows as well (as described in the tutorial). As for img2simg, it seems to be packaged for Ubuntu (from android.googlesource.com) but [edit] is also available for windows here

Worth a try, I guess.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

These appear to be different tools (imgpatchtools / sdat2img / android-simg2img) but your post does reference the other tool (sdat2img) indeed. Hopefully, this helps DragonFire1024!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Update:

So I've narrowed down all errors related to format issues such as typos. I'm down to one error in the script that doesn't seem to want to disappear. Line one, at the end. Perpetual it seems. Flash fire just says where the error is but nothing specific as to what. Just syntax.

Secondly the system partition is not mounted as EMMC. Just ext4 so I had to remove that from the script. Some of the partitions are both. Everything also has to be set_perm as opposed to set_metadata or everything errors out. Beyond the syntax, I don't know what else is wrong, if anything because I cat get past the first damn line.

Flashing a boot image in the script or otherwise, from stock, ends in a soft brick Everytime when flashing the rom. Though it doesn't appear it needs to be part of the script.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maksfrai:
Well, if the script looks like before, then it should be "assert(...abort(...));" instead of "assert(...abort(...););" - it's just syntax indeed.

Stock firmware script doesn't even use assert function.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I'll take a look when I get home.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Update: have a build. All apps, with exception of just 2, non system binded apps didn't work. I didn't try any of the more binded ones like settings etc. So I made a flash zip...and wouldn't you know, same as before...script errors. Sigh.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
One more update: after installing the newly built launcher, some wallpapers, and basic things like the calculator and calendar, major debloating and then a factory reset, the difference is very noticable. Very smooth. No glitches or flashes from the launcher. I don't know if it's because all apps are from the same build and of the same signatures (minus 2 apps), but it's nice to see everything working. If I can ever get the script to work, we can see if we have a rom or not. It will be a couple days before I can do some real work on it though.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
Have you've tried converting the system folder to system.img and flashing it by doing dd if ..?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I've tried similar a few times. I was sure I was doing something wrong, but I also was using flash fire to flash the img. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Then again, I couldn't find a guide that worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Update: before I started testing the build, I decided to root from stock using the offline rooting method. It takes slightly longer to setup, but I think it's more worth it than using kingoroot, plus you can use Linux. I did this to experiment with SuperSU and flash fire. Currently I managed to get flash fire 0.24 to work with the latest version of SuperSU with no further issues aside from the huge delay. I also don't know if pro packages affect this, though I have pro of both, I haven't activated either of them yet. I also note I've only been able to do this using the offline rooting. It also appears the logs are a little more detailed than before, or maybe I understand them better, but it's easier to hunt the script issues. With that said I made the corrections and made a flash zip. Well give it another shot tomorrow
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc4r3Crow:
Hey DragonFire1024,

did I get anything wrong or are you working on a custom(ized) rom for HD 10?

If your're actually working on one, which android version will it (possibly) have?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Right now, assuming I can get the script to work and assuming the build is correct, the very first build will be a bare boned, AOSP base. No customizations until I can get a working build. I'll post a few screen shots of the test apps I installed in a little bit.

For now, until the HD 10 is unlocked, we have to stick to the last lollipop revision of r38, 5.1.1 release-mr1.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Just a taste. this is what bare boned AOSP looks like with zero alterations or customizations. The clock changes color with the day/night.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc4r3Crow:
Looks great :svetius:

I asked about Android version because the one of Fire OS lacks some features, especially referring some media stuff (I think).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
In that regard its not really the Android version, but what they chose to Include in it. If it flashes, the test build will include whatever is included in an AOSP build right off the line.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Also I suppose later today I can hack the system signature to see what the settings apk looks like.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc4r3Crow:

Thanks in advance for your work :svetius:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
Looks great but you can modify more:

You can modify the status bar by editing framework-res.apk and add stock lollipop icons (battery, WI-FI, etc)

You can edit the settings and download provider icon.

And you could edit the notifications panel in the style android stock (I do not know if you've done it)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Indeed. I have been spending the last several hours screwing around with stuff. It is indeed script issues and more. I managed to get a working script. It does it's thing for a minute or so, says successful, flash gapps and reboot. It hangs at the white amazon logo for a minute or two then shuts down and boots to recovery.

A few notes. Might not be able to flash a rom like we do on the fire 7. It's possible we will have to flash a rom like amazon and go the route of system.new.dat. because I changed the amazon.bin to amazon.zip, deleted all the script except for the system parts and the Amazon update with gapps flashes nicely. I would like to at least be able to do this with my framework mod and settings APK. Also would at least like to root a system so screwing up isn't so time consuming.

Hello, I have recently rooted my S7 Edge Exynos on stock Android 8.0.

I have followed the manual and installed Magisk. But when I go to recovery menu of TWRP, it can not see the storage (internal storage 0MB), so I am unable to flash zip files.

What may be the issue?

If I just re-flash only TWRP, will everything be preserved (even Magisk) or do I have to completely wipe and re-root again?

I just want to make sure before I proceed.
