I'm using a guide to make a new boot.img, but I have no idea how to clone and compile the git properly, there's no make file or anything like that, so, all I have is a mkbootimg.c file.

I downloaded a working, compiled copy elsewhere, but I'd like to know how to do this..

Harness.

PS - Sorry for all the questions lately, I'm trying to get a bit more involved, and running into speedbumps along the way.

Search for liquidmkbootimg 0.2 on google. disc0 posted here a specific mkboot for the liquid.

Thanks again Vache.

One more question for now; I can't get root in adb shell because of ro.secure = 1 (that's why I'm editing the boot.img) so will I be able to use an update.zip in Malez to flash the boot img, or will I have to reflash everything?

Yep you can use an update script to flash only the new boot. Take exemple on some update avalaible on the forum.

You can flash it in bootloader too : fastboot -i 0x0502 flash boot mynewboot.img
