Ok. Below is the last few lines from my logcat. There is definitely an error, Im just not sure what SurfaceFlinger is....

I/ServiceManager( 1444): service 'SurfaceFlinger' died

D/HtcBootAnimation( 1595): SurfaceFlinger died, exiting...

I/ServiceManager( 1444): service 'entropy' died

I/ServiceManager( 1444): service 'power' died

I/ServiceManager( 1444): service 'account' died

.....More deaths.....

-Any advice would be great. After researching, I was told that bootanimation.zip does not exist, I am going to try and NOT put in my own boot animation and see how it goes. I will check back to see if anyone has anything else to help me out. Thanks for everything guys

Ughh... Apps2SD is DarkTremor's (tkirton's) work, and I believe he credited one of his scripts as being 'based on' Cyanogen's script.

"installbusybox" contains a single command "./busybox --install -s /system/xbin" which is commonly used. It installs busybox, as the name implies. Good grief.

Please check your PM shortly. If someone is being hostile and un-cooperative then simply report to a mod by PM (not publicly) or report the post.

Thanks dude

thanks buddy will do, i dont have time for this kiddy games....
[Android] dsixda:
Can you try flashing the ROM again, but before you exit the recovery menu can you dump the recovery.log? There is how-to info in the FAQ. Thanks.

Actually if you have the full logcat, paste it in http://pastebin.com. The errors before those failures you mentioned are more important.
[Android] dhemke17:
I ended up just starting from scratch and rooted using the kitchen, removed bloat and deodexed/zipaligned (I know there is already one out there, but this was a way for me to learn the process). Once it was made, I only wiped my cache and dalvik cache, flashed the rom and it booted no problem! Had to apply rmk's superuser fix to it but other than that, it seemed to work ok. I can still post the logcat if you want to take a look and see if there is anything else that may be causing issues.
[Android] dsixda:
As long as it works, there's no need to post anything :D Congratulations..

[Android] DrRyder:
Love the update to 1.49. Glad to see that the funny error messages are gone.

Not sure if this was mentioned before and can't be assed to search through 401 pages of posts for it, but...

When you go to view the ROM information (Option #10) after converting update-script to updater-script, it tells you that the update-script isn't found. Is there a way, maybe in future versions, that it could be set up to show the ROM information even after the update-script has been converted?
[Android] TMartin:
Anyone know why I get this error on github when trying to download??

/tmp/AmwawEvL.zip.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

EDIT: Nevermind....Need to restart Firefox after I updated. Sorry.
[Android] dhemke17:
No problem, I hope to get into a little more complex rom building and this is a great tool for it. Going to check out the update now.
[Android] dsixda:
I'm not sure if that is a reliable method, because the info may have changed after it was backed up. You could instead convert the updater-script back to update-script.
[Android] DrRyder:
Yeah. I could do that. But once I convert it, I don't convert it back for anything. I use ui_print and stuff. I usually all other modifications to the update-script before converting it then I add the ui_print lines.

I just wondered if you could just make it so it can read the updater-script just like it would the update-script or you could just keep the update-script named how it is and then if an updater-script exists at build time, have the kitchen rename or delete update-script.

I don't really know. I'm just throwing ideas out there. Would be kind of a pain in the ass to convert it back and forth to view the ROM info.
[Android] dsixda:
Then just make a backup of your updater-script, convert it to update-script and then run the 'Show working folder info' command.

You lost me there :confused:

It would be time-consuming for me to make the kitchen interpret an updater-script just to show the working folder info, because as I said in the FAQ, there are just way too many combinations possible in the syntax and mount points in the updater-script (Edify) format. This is why we use update-script (Amend) in the regular kitchen usage, so that everything is uniform and in an easily interpreted/configurable format.

It should only take you a couple of minutes to try the suggestion above, as opposed to the couple of months I would spend on it ;-) You can see it's not easy, as I'm still making fixes once in while to Amend-Edify conversions.

EDIT: One solution would be to retain the "ui_print" messages when converting to update-script. Of course, this is not allowable syntax in update-script, but it would be there so that when you convert back to updater-script, you'll have it back. However, the ui_print statements may get shuffled around in different lines during the translation back to updater-script, so it's a bit of a risk. Plus I don't want the conversion routine accidentally interpreting words in the ui_print line as commands (e.g. ui_print("Doing a write_raw_image of boot.img")) and then attempting to convert those by mistake too..

Lost on this procedure..

Hello,

I tried this all night and i cant get it to work, i even followed unlockers turorial still no go, i even downloaded 9.10 since this thread said it would be easier to use, i tried on both ubuntu 10.10 then downgraded, in the tutorial it says type ./menu from terminal well as you can see in screen shot nothing comes up, then i put full path to menu and when it comes as you see in 2nd screenshot and i choose a number say #1 it just sits there and dont do anything? but in 2nd screenshot you can see a line with with error line 52.but i did copy a custom rom into original_update folder....

I have java installed as it said to do on here, at this point im lost in what to do next?

any advice or help on this please? Thanks :)
[Android] dsixda:
Are you sure you read the FAQ properly? Because, it says to change to the folder containing the kitchen (using the cd command) before you type ./menu -- Don't use any other method or you will see the errors you saw in the second picture.
[Android] localguyincali:
Hi thanks for replying.... im looking for that now where it says change the folder "using cd command", right now the the kitchen is in my home folder where it says extract it to...
[Android] twopumpchump:
you have the kitchen FOLDER in your home directory, instead you should have only the kitchen folder CONTENTS in the home directory. once you do this, open terminal and type ./menu and it should work :)
[Android] localguyincali:
Here is screenshot of my home folder... sorry didnt resize it ..

EDIT-- WOOT it works, what i did was open up kitchen folder and cut all the contents to home folder it now works :D Thankyou

EDIT-2 ok what i want to do is open up a rom decpmpress i guess its called?
[Android] ravi_buz:
Thanks for the Kitchen..I just cooked one ROM out of some custom rom from the forum. I just want to know if there is any tut like yours where there are instructions to edit roms of one device to another.

I have x10 mini and there are no true ROM available for me to cook, all i see are custom roms already cooked in the forums. I just want to cook one for myself.. is it possible?? like editing the CM7 rom for HTC hero and port it for mini????
[Android] twopumpchump:
glad you got it going :) now you need to read the FAQ and watch the videos about what to do next.
[Android] puertoblack2003:
@dsixda and others

If you're getting an error message (status 6) when flashing a rom check your updater-script and check the first line ex:

remove the "]" somehow when i converted update-script to updater that was added....

pb
[Android] dsixda:
Can you post the update-script here? Or PM me, thanks!
[Android] dsixda:
I have no guide because I know close to nothing about porting. Just use the Porting Tools option in the kitchen if you want to experiment. By the way, you should use the Tatoo (240x320) and not the Hero because the Hero has a higher resolution (320x480) than the Mini.
[Android] zooz11:
Actually, I read that roll-up thread but it did not add a lot of information to me!

I thought there is something advanced that I am missing.

I succeeded in using the kitchen to build roms based on cooked roms, but when it comes to shipped stock roms I face troubles.

I used prj kernel with them but it did not work.

A lot of information is missing. Like how to make the rom work on EU HD2 (not tamus).

how to make use of data.img roms? & how to create them?

I know it might not be related to the kitchen.. but I spent a long time searching without answers (more than a month)! So, if you can help that would be appreciated..

Thanks.
[Android] dsixda:
I saw a thread last month that showed you what drivers to port to get the HD 2 working. It was in a sticky. Anyways, I don't have an HD 2, it's up to you to find out and/or ask in the appropriate forum, not here. Ask the guys who made the ROMs themselves. I don't even know what tamus and prj are.
[Android] ravi_buz:
Thanks for your reply and yes this is what i am looking for. I have seen people use the ROM of phones which have a different or higher resolution and then port it to Minis.. Waiting for some one to write a tut on that...:)
[Android] dsixda:
Well you would need a lot of time to go through all the image files to port the resolution. Just start small... use a ROM with same resolution. And before that, learn to build a normal Xperia Mini ROM using the kitchen on a shipped ROM, before you move forward to more complicated tasks! Learn also about logcat because it will be very useful in debugging issues during bootup.
[Android] ravi_buz:
Thanks.. You are right will start with something small and will learn from mistakes..thanks.:)

BTW your kitchen is for HTC..yes and i saw we can use other devices posted in first post..but just curious if there is some specific kitchen for X10 ?
[Android] dsixda:
I don't know, man.. you guys keep asking specific questions about devices that I don't even have...I don't read all the development threads in xda ;) It's up to you guys to find out, I'm not going to do the searching for you or spoonfeed.

You can use this kitchen, but don't include the boot.img in your working folder (just have a system.img in the original_update folder)... this is because of the encrypted bootloader. Again, there is a sticky thread in the Mini Pro development forum that discusses my kitchen in more detail for the x10 devices.
[Android] puertoblack2003:
sorry guys disregard this i think it was my error i can't replicate it now...
[Android] zooz11:

Having problems with Kitchen

I'm on Windows 7. I downloaded virtual machine and installed Ubuntu and the Kitchen. When I tried to sign into the Kitchen it tells me that the file can't be found. I have tried ./menu and the other instructions from unlockr, but nothing has worked. I also read your FAQs and tried them as well. Nothing. Can you please help me. Thanks! Slogold
[Android] 3mperor:
Im on cygwin, and when i try to flash my cooked rom i get error (status 7)..could you point me in the right direction please thank you.
[Android] dsixda:
I don't know what APPDATA is.

In the FAQ it says to choose one of virtual machine or Cygwin (which means you install one, not the other).. When it says "OR" it's not the same as "AND".

Again, please read the FAQ properly. It says to change to the folder with the kitchen before typing ./menu. e.g. "cd kitchen"

I have no idea what you did, what device you used, whether you used updater-script, etc. You have to be specific.
[Android] oostah:
thanks i watched the video and it was on the or part it through me off. that and i have been fighting with this for two days now. and the %APPDATA% is a file in my programs folder that should be APPDATA. thats not allowing me to install some programs. thanks for your time and info.
[Android] dsixda:
Actually I just remembered that %APPDATA% is a variable representing the application data folder in Windows. Eg. C:/AppData in Windows 7.

[Android] 3mperor:
When compiling the rom I switch out the update-script for the updater-script in the zip,

im also on the mytouch 4g..When flashing i get "show_progress() expects 2 args, got 1"

E:Error in /sdcard/filename.zip (status 7)
[Android] dsixda:
That obviously means your update-script was not correctly written (for show_progress) or the updater-script did not convert it properly so that show_progress ended up with only one parameter instead of two.
[Android] 3mperor:
So how would I fix this?

[Android] dsixda:
They're both unix-based systems, I don't understand what is so different. Unless you mean in cygwin you copied the kitchen to a folder outside your home directory (eg. Home is C:/cygwin/home/john), which is not following the instructions.
[Android] dsixda:
What's local? Copy the kitchen to :

c:/cygwin/home/<your id>/kitchen, not under c:/cygwin/home/kitchen.

When you start Cygwin it starts under c:/cygwin/home/<your id>/
[Android] dsixda:
Here are some unix commands that may help you guys out if you are in the wrong folder to begin with:

cd .. -> go up a folder
cd -> go back to user's base folder (e.g. c:/cygwin/home/John)
pwd -> shows you the current folder you are in
[Android] RodStanger:
Sorry for not being specific. First of all, I'm porting to a CDMA Desire, and I'm trying to port WarmZ TwoPointTwo for the Evo. I've managed to get a step further by experiencing boot loops, as opposed to just the splash screen.

Well when I followed instructions and double clicked to open the cmd prompt it flashed up and shut back down again so opened cmd prompt manual and tried to navigate and it wouldn't it not a problem like I said I use virtualbox works great

Sent from Pluto
[Android] dsixda:
If you get boot loops then refer to the FAQ to debug your issue.
[Android] dsixda:
You're not supposed to double-click on the menu file, why are you doing that?

Well, each to his own, but Virtual Box running Ubuntu is a pain to set up if you want to transfer ROMs from one device to another (e.g. virtual box to phone, pc to virtual box, etc.). That's why I recommend Cygwin because it uses Windows file system. The main problem I see you guys having is not starting in the correct folder to begin with.. after that it is smooth sailing. I don't see that as a big deal, compared to the hour required to set up Virtual Box + download Ubuntu ISO image.
[Android] dsixda:
I've updated the FAQ just now, hopefully to make it more user-friendly for people new to Unix-based commands. I'm not enforcing you guys to learn unix, that would just be unfair. As long as you can run the kitchen with "./menu" then that's all you really need to know.
[Android] leith51:
Erm like I said I followed the instructions somewhere to start using click start here or something like that can't remember but when I did it wouldn't work

[Android] TJinWV:
I bet part of the problem some new-to-cygwin guys are having is that the location cygwin chooses as the home directory may not be /cygwin/home. Mine ended up being c:/Documents and Settings/username or something along those lines. I ended up hacking the /etc/passwd file to set it to /cygwin/home.

[Android] TJinWV:
That's what I'm saying - it doesn't matter where you installed it. Cygwin goes through a process to determine what it thinks should be your home directory based partially on existing Windows environment variables, and it doesn't always make sense.

[Android] dsixda:
Good grief, guys. How come so many problems all of a sudden today?

In an earlier post, I mentioned to use the command "pwd" to see what your current directory is. When you start cygwin, what do you see when you type pwd?? So, unzip your kitchen files to that folder using Windows Explorer.
[Android] dsixda:
Part of the reason for the confusion is that you are not using punctuation, so it is extremely difficult to decipher your posts. No offense intended, but just saying.

When you have a problem (I don't mean you, but anyone), please consider the person you are talking to and what he needs to help you out. This means clear and precise language and info that can help him understand the problem so that he can debug it.

Posts like "It doesn't work!" "Helpppp!!" "It doesn't boot" are examples of stuff that frustrate me because I have no idea what is going on.
[Android] dsixda:
No, I specified in the Cygwin help file to install it under C:\Cygwin. It shouldn't be installing under C:\Documents and Settings unless you were following the instructions wrong.
[Android] dsixda:
No --

I already mentioned in the first post what is supported. Use the SGS kitchen.
[Android] famonaco:

[Android] dsixda:
First of all, can you please use a spell check or turn off SMS lingo so that I can understand your post better.

Regarding your problem, you likely did not install Cygwin properly, if you see no packages it probably means you unchecked "show obsolete packages" or something like that. Someone had this problem a month ago, just search the thread.

I honestly have never had problems installing Cygwin and the instructions are pretty simple, I'm not understanding all this confusion or why there are so many posts today all of a sudden.

[Android] TJinWV:
It doesn't matter where you install it, Cygwin determines what to use as its home directory based on existing Windows environment variables.

From /etc/defaults/etc/profile:

# Here is how HOME is set, in order of priority, when starting from Windows
# 1) From existing HOME in the Windows environment, translated to a Posix path
# 2) from /etc/passwd, if there is an entry with a non empty directory field
# 3) from HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH
# 4) / (root)

So /cygwin/home is the third option. I haven't uncovered why the value in /etc/passwd is set to the Docs and Settings folder, but I've installed cygwin on three different machines the last three months (all on XP), and it has always made my home directory there.
