I think you should replace all the executing line by 'sh' instead of using './'  in all the scripts in your tool.It's causing the permission issues throughout the scripts.

Good work I'm using Linux to create the multi boot rom but when I flash in Cwm it I get stuck in the green Man and I'm forced to restore my nand backup, is there something that I'm doing wrong?

That usually happens when the system name you gave isnt the same as the system file you created or you didnt move the entire contents of the multiboot folder to /sdcard/multiboot on your phone.

No. Those are calls for programs, not shell scripts. You can't sh a program. Try it and see what it says.

There is no longer a problem with pernissions, it's fixed in the latest version.

Look at the post of gunapriyan  on page before,where is complaining about the same permission issues he ran into.If you just look into the line no. 25 in makelooprom-android,again the same structure is causing the permission issues.

Re-read the OP. The procedure has changed for this version.

It is now sh makelooprom-startup.

I'm doing exactly as it says in the op

[android@sam]

For the proof:

look at the scrrenshot.It's still causing the issues

First download the new version (MakeLoopROM-Android-V4.tar), unpack it and then re-read this part of the op:

3c. On Android, open up a terminal session, type su and hit enter, type cd /sdcard/MakeLoopROM and hit enter and then sh makelooprom-startup and hit enter.

You cant run that without the startup, the startup moves it to an ext2 loop and executes it from there.

Of course, you have to be su to run losetup so i should include that un the instructions.

I ran this script on Burstlam's CM9. Cyanscape rom as loop rom.
Gud luck to you, don't worry it will work.

[tilal6991]

Right. I'm getting started on rewriting the app so it does what the script file does. Hopefully that will get rid of ALL these permission errors.

It works for me on CM-10-KonstaKANG from 29/8, i'm running the loop script it to upgrade to 01/09 version right now.

My exact procedure:

1. Downloaded the MakeLoopROM-Android-V4.tar from the link in my OP to the root of the sdcard (/sdcard)
2. start terminal session
3. su
4. cd /sdcard
5. tar -xvf MakeloopROM-Android-V4.tar
6. cd MakeLoopROM
7. sh makelooprom-startup

It runs and completes, all files are in /sdcard/multiboot as they are supposed to, i'll install them in a bit to make sure that works too.

One question, did you change your SU on your rom (if you installed the wraithdu su per the V6-start me up script that may be the problem)

[Snap.IT]

This is the output from the script after running sh makelooprom-startup.

This is the procedure i use to upgrade the previous ROM which i gave the example for in my earlier post.

Rather than create new loop files i choose to reuse the ones i made previously, i also don't want to format the data loop file since this is an upgrade and since i am running a loop rom i don't want to pull the boot.img from the currently running rom.

Since i am using the same partition i don't have to remake the gapps and GEN3 files i made in the earlier post, they already have the correct loop file in their updater-script so i can reuse them and they are still in my /sdcard/multiboot/loop-roms/cm-10-konstat-system directory.

Do you want to make an image file to hold the system for this ROM? (not neccessary if it's an upgrade from a previous ROM) Y for yes any other key for no.

Type the name of the ROM you copied to this directory without the file ending. For example if your ROM file name is cm-7.2.0-blade.zip you type cm-7.2.0-blade

What is the name of the system image you'll be using for this ROM? If you made a system image before for this ROM then use that name () and if you want to reuse a system image file you've created before, use that name. Typos will result in a non booting installation


cm-10-konstat-system


What is the name of the data image you'll be using for this ROM? If you made a data image before for this ROM then use that name () and if you want to reuse a data image file you've created before, use that name. Typos will result in a non working installation


cm-10-konstat-data




If this is a Jelly Bean (CM10) ROM type y for yes, if it's not, type n for no.
y


Creating ramdisk cpio archive ...


Find compiled boot.img inside output folder as cm-10-20120901-KonstaKANG-bladeboot.img


Now fixing your updater-script so you can install this ROM into your loop image


format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "0", "/system");




Do you want this installation to format the data image used with this ROM?
Answer Y for yes if it's a new installation and N for no if you are upgrading
and want to keep the data on the data image. (Say yes if you would run wipe
data/factory reset in recovery if this was a normal install)
n


The data image used with this ROM will NOT be formatted during installation


All done, time to pack your ROM up again, it will be called cm-10-20120901-KonstaKANG-blade-loopinstall.zip and will be in multiboot/cm-10-konstat-system/loop-roms




If you are running this script on your NAND(internal) ROM you will want to save the boot image you're currently running so you can reboot back into the NAND ROM.

I can make you a copy of the boot img you are currently running, if you want me to do that then hit Y, otherwise (if you're running on a loop install or already have a copy of boot.img in multiboot that you want to keep) hit any other key.


n
Moving all files to your /sdcard/multiboot directory





Everything worked, cm-10-20120901-KonstaKANG-blade is ready for loop installation.


Happy multibooting
