[KERNEL] Any Kernel Updater (Moded for eMMC)

I have just edited the AnyKernel updater script by koush to work with eMMC devices :-D
hope ppl can make use of this
its very simple
1) grab the .tar.gz file
2) extract
3) add the zImage to the /kernel/ directory
4) add .ko modules to /system/lib/modules/ directory
5) **optional** change the boot partition location in the updater-script (not normaly needed)
6) zip up the file
7) its ready to flash in CWM
Credits
Koush for the original boot unpack / repack bin's and scripts
IEF for the stand alone dd binary

what does it do?? sorry
does it make so you can update thru your network?

Thank you! This will be useful to me.

Nice, this is exactly what we needed.

any chance to rip bootimg.cfg through the zip file?
since somehow I tried to get the cfg file from the boot.img but seems the boot.img and zImage in some kernel are the same.

Your script works great extracting the .img file. But it's not able to create zip file. Let me edit your script with the missing file/info.
Download this file and put in folder tools;
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za920.zip
change this line;
"%LOC%\tools\7z.exe" a "%LOC%\update.zip" "%LOC%\out\*"
to;
"%LOC%\tools\7za.exe" a "%LOC%\update.zip" "%LOC%\out\*"
and it should work. it will create a zip file.
Enjoy

how it works?

How does it use? What things do I have to put in the folder "IN"?

let you extract system.img and boot.img from android build, once you extracted all the fill, it will put all the file into a zip file so you can load via CWM

boot.img & system.img

It has a function to edit apk. But how do you use that function and where do you add your own apk?

it does not have a function to edit apk (correct me if i'm wrong). once you extracted all the files, go into app and add your apk there.

If there's no boot.img, it should still work. all the boot file is already in the system.img
Let me download that build and I can tell you for sure on how to do it.. I smell that a new version of this script will be out..

Yeah it's very much a work in progress, please feel free to attach updated versions... I'll add them to the first post with accreditation

So i figure maybe itll be even better on NAND! TAHNKS again so much for your pos t BIRKOFF! ANYone know of the SD->NAND question?

YOU have to add an "a" after the z in 7z WITHIN the RUNME script...you have to right click it and open with NOTEPAD on PC and add the "a"

Really cool idea!! I gave it a shot, it just reboots after the MAGLDR screen showing the HTC logo over and over until you boot back into recovery. It flashed fine but just wouldn't boot.

Use the following "RunMetest.bat"
http://hotfile.com/dl/95408413/0c085bd/RunMetest.rar.html
I tested with different build, system.img only, both boot.img and system.img, it was able to create a zip with all the file.
I'm not uploading the whole folder since this was started by birkoffsjunk, I'm just helping

just get 3btn combo working! it is easy...then
flash cf-root or hardcore's kernel with odin.....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Instructions (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-JPx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-JPx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

If you are on a JPx FW then all i did was flash the speedmod kernel via odin which has CWM recovery and 2e on it.
Place Darkyy's rom on your SD card
Boot into recovery and install the Darkyy zip.
The entire process should take about 10 minutes.

Hi TheKoomba2010;10993474. Unrar the attachment below and use root explorer to copy the recovery from the file to system/bin. Make sure you backup the recovery from the system first (just in case). Then copy all the content in the xbin from the file and paste in the system/xbin and reboot. Good luck.

Thanks angiogram! it worked. Now I have 2e recovery.

You can extract it using 'adb shell dd' command. You need to know the mount point and there is more syntax to the command. I've attached it for you though.

The simple thing to do is open the .zip and see if it looks like a flashable one (ie is there a META-INF folder)...and no it's not flashable. It's simply boot.img (zImage + RAMDISK).

Deodex patch has script (installer script) which will delete your framework/app/priv-app folder/files (dex and apk) and copy deodexed apk files with right permissions.
So no, you don't have to delete anything, just flash patch and restart
BTW - in 99.9% it's not prerooted because that's not ROM, that's patch.
To be sure you'll preserve recovery and root you can always flash latest recovery by NUT and superSU after flashing deodex patch but before you restart.

If you are not sure, flash latest recovery after deodex patch and restart to be 100%.

On 6906 flashing the deodex rom causes FC on both Location service (when choosing Detection accuracy) and on language/input option in settings. Tryed with and without the deodex rom and it is working fine without.

Can I have the MD5 hash of the zip that you downloaded?
MD5.exe
Place md5.exe and the deodex zip on the same folder, open an elevated prompt window and type:
Code:
md5 C6906_14.3.A.0.681_deodex.zip >> md5.txt
Then open the file md5.txt that is in the same folder now.
I think you downloaded an old zip that was in the topic on the first day, which had Settings.apk deodexed with API 19, which is the right API for KitKat but it force closes in some menus.
The solution come from @krabappel2548 he suggested to deodex Settings.apk using API 16, then I updated the packages for the 4 variants.
Instead of downloading and applying the entire zip you can replace your Settings.apk
Settings.apk
Using a root file explorer, place it on "/system/priv-app" and set the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--).

When I flash zip file for my C6902 with CWM (6.0.4.7), my screen is of and on suddenly, nothing happen.

Are you using XZDualRecovery? Take a look at the version number > External SD Card > XZDualRecovery > XZDR.prop
If it shows something between 2.7.96~2.7.98
Run this as administrator with your phone connected to the computer with Debug mode ON, this will update your XZDualRecovery to version 2.7.99 which fix system mount as writable on KitKat.
