This way we would have more information and can apply the changes to an upgraded boot.img from stock... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glycerin Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ok... its going on! But... How can i pack the boot.img-ramdisk? where i can find the mkbootfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ok... its going on! But... How can i pack the boot.img-ramdisk? where i can find the mkbootfs? Ideally, you should compile the Android source-code. For mkbootfs and mkbootimg you could compile any version of Android - it doesn't have to be cupcake.

I've no plan... i only want to pack the boot.img-ramdisk to the boot.img-ramdisk.gz - then i would make the boot.img with a perl! Any idea?

Guest McSpoon Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've got mkbootfs installed. If you upload your ramdisk files somewhere I can create the ramdisk.gz for you, if you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my ramdisk.zip! Please make it to the boot.img-ramdisk with the mkbootfs and pack it into the boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... and upload i! Then i can take my kernel and pack it into the boot.img with a perl script! You would help me so much!!! Thank you!ramdisk.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 No problem. I created the boot.img-ramdisk.gz using the following command: mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > boot.img-ramdisk.gz I've also packaged it into a .zip file just to prevent the browser from automatically uncompressing the .gz on download. Just unpack the .zip to get: boot.img-ramdisk.gz I did a quick test by combining it with my Pulse kernel and it seemed fine. I like the RBM2 splash screen! mkbootimg --cmdline 'mem=128M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0 androidboot.console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0' --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz -o boot.imgbootimg_ramdisk.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glycerin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 When i want to flash my rom - Amon RA Recovery says "Wrong digest: boot.img Verification failed" What can i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 To modify the update.zip you would have to use a 'signing' tool afterwards (to update the signature in the manifest). But instead of doing that, it's easier to just use fastboot to flash your boot image. The fastboot program is in the AmonRA and Superboot files. fastboot flash boot boot.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glycerin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) And the "Custom Rom"? Like the system folder? Here also the verification failes? how can i create sha1-digests to edit them? The Boot.img works fine, but i doesn't have root access :-( I doesn't know why, because i make it like the boot.img from the mcr1.1 Edited February 20, 2010 by Glycerin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) In this Superboot boot image there is a superboot folder and some commands in init.rc to invoke superboot. I think Paul moved that stuff out of the boot.img for the full MCR Custom ROMs. You could produce a standalone RBM2 Superboot boot image using some of the bits from that (which is what I was thinking of initially, I didn't realise that stuff had been moved out of the boot.img for the MCR Custom ROMs). Alternatively if you wish to make changes to the update.zip then... * You may have to update the /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script depending on which files have changed. * You will have to re-sign it afterwards - Google for "testsign.jar". I'm using Ubuntu so I prefer this method for signing. Fortunately testsign.jar is a Java utility so it can be made to work on any platform, so the command will be something like:- java -classpath testsign.jar testsign update.zip signed-update.zip Edited February 20, 2010 by McSpoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glycerin Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've got it! :( RBM2 U8230 Superboot is ready! I've tested it and it runs stable! I've got Root Access! Install my RBM2 U8230 Superboot with Fastboot! Turn USB-Debugging in the Preferences on! Then Superuser Permission Run! I've tested Root Explorer and ive got access to all! :( Procedure is the same like this: Paul's Pulse Superboot Thanks to Paul, McSpoon and all the other Boards for the assistance! :( Now i will start to cook a CustomRom with Apps2SD and so on for the RBM2 U8230! Don't forget - Do a Nandroid-Backup before flash the Boot.img!!! :( Greetz, GlycerinRBM2_U8230_Superboot.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
