Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hang on, i'll make a loop rom for CM10-KonstaKANG and test it on there to see what's wrong. Right now i'm running it on CM9-KonstaKANG and it runs like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Try sh makelooprom-android You'll run into errors within the script itself it ./ doesn't work, like ./split-bootimg.pl. I was wrong above, that runs on the perl interpreter and not the shell. Apparently i was right, i just tried this on PA ICS and it doesn't work at all. There has to be something wrong here because on CM9-KonstaKANG it works perfectly but on pa-blade-1.6a it doesn't. I was under the impression that the SU was bad but it might have something to do with the shell. If you run which $SHELL, what does it say?

Guest android@sam Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 @snap.it It's /system/bin/sh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 @snap.it It's /system/bin/sh. Well that is correct. I honestly don't know why some ROMs refuse to run this correctly right now, but it has to have something to do with the SU, just to check i'll replace the SU on PA with the version from CM9-KonstaKANG.

Guest tilal6991 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well just a note. Fat32 doesn't have a permissions system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest android@sam Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes it's because of the different versions of busybox compiled in different ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes it's because of the different versions of busybox compiled in different ROMs. ? It's not because of the busybox i included, it won't run the perl script either or anything called from the script that isn't in path. However, it works fine on CM9-KonstaKANG and the busybox i put in there isn't from that ROM, it's a complete version of the standard busybox, it should run on every rom including CM7 and CM10.

Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well just a note. Fat32 doesn't have a permissions system. That's what i thought too but changing permissions worked for android@sam as he reported above. As su you should have full permissions on all files on fat32.

Easiest way is to open the zip you used to flash your current nand rom, the boot.img is in the root directory of the zip and you can just extract it from there directly into your multiboot directory. Note, you should make a backup before installing any new rom, that way you can go to backup and restore -> advanced restore -> boot to restore your nand boot image. Remember that if you run a backup when you are running a loop rom it will backup the boot image of the loop rom and the data, system and sd-ext of your nand rom. :S I'll be fixing the issue with having to copy your boot.img from the zip file after i get a hold of what's causing the permissions problems, in the next version of this script i'll pull the boot img from MTD instead.

Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 There is something wrong with the shell on some ROMs, if you can't start the script using ./makelooprom-android it won't work. I've tried to use exec instead but the end result is the same, no permissions to execute. I wonder what would happen if i made an ext2 loopfile, mounted it and ran the whole shebang within the loopfile. I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Heh, making an ext2 loop rom for running the script worked just fine, but i'm going to have to rewrite most of the script to make it work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Snap.IT Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Once you've done all that I'm going to try and put it into one simple to use app. That would be awesome. The script should be self running now with all the directory changes included so that it can be called from wherever you are, well at least as long as the /sdcard symlink exists which it does seem to be in all roms i've tested.

Guest n1729 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Both of those roms work perfectly when i'm converting them, there is something else that is wrong here, i don't know what but it would help if i knew what ROM you're running the script on. The fact that you get "permission denied" when trying to run ./makelooprom-android tells me that there is something wrong with your permissions, you need to be su. For some reason there is a problem with PA roms (i get the exact same response you do when running it on PA roms), it works fine on KonstaKANG though, the problem persists after upgrading SU so i don't know what is going on. I tried it on both cyanscape rom and then on Burstlam's CM9. Both time i got the same problem. So i used "sh ./makelooprom-android", then it works fine. But at the end it shows" You have an unusual updater script". I used CM7.2 and cyanscape rom for convertion. I hope this helps. Will use tar file and report back.
