I have all the tools I need to build a custom rom according to the wiki but I don't know how to edit the data.img or system.img. The kitchen detects my backup and start to set it up but then runs into an error.
I'm running Windows7.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Posting the error log would be a start...
Oh. Sorry. It said that it could not find boot.img. I'm trying to build it from a backup. Maybe that's my problem?
could you give me a link to that wiki cheers

Hey in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004
Is there an alternative download link for w.e that file is on step 29 because the link dosent seem to work for me any help would be great!
You might want to watch out.
That guide has an old ROM that it requires you to flash. The old version has SD card problems.
Make sure you get an updated ROM... there are some with the OTA update.
Otherwise, I don't know about the update.zip file.
Thanks for the Info I just want to put a aosp like Rom on here after I am done but I need to finish it says I am rooted is that zip the recovery thing? Ugh this is frustrating. Lol
EDIT: the link says recovery-clockwork 1.8.1.7 is there another place to dl that file

Look around this and the DEV forum. There's a sticky somewhere with the list of ROMS and more information on rooting and whatnot.
Hey all
First off, I have done all my research to try and answer this myself.. I GIVE UP! I have to be missing something.
I just rooted my HTC Evo using the unrevoked method..FULL ROOT 2.2 YAY!!!
Also, I followed all the steps from the UNLOCKR.com vid to unlock nandroid in hopes of being able to flash a custom rom. I now have the HBOOT .76 ver I think...downgraded from the .93 ver.
Everything seemed to go through seemlessly. But, when I go into recovery and try to flash the rom with the custom recovery (AMOS RA? I think is the one I am using, previously had clockwork mod but didn't like as much)...anyhow I keep getting an error after I try to flash the ZIP, MYNS WARM TWOPOINT TWO ROM to be exact. It says "E: Can't find update script" WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OR NOT DOING??? PLZ ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE. Sorry if this has been answered but I really did search with no avail!
Thanks again!
Trying to get this figured out ASAP!

Are you by chance using a mac when you download the file?

Also, make sure the zip file you download isn't corrupt. Try and extract or peek inside to see if all the files are intact; more specifically, look for the update/updater script in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
I did use a mac to download the roms.
I rooted my Evo using a Mac and installed roms using a mac. For nand unlock it should already unlock from the unrevoked method, but mine had hboot 97. There is a thread in the development area where you can find hboot 73 to flash.

My friend that uses a mac has had issues with roms like this. For some reason his mac was changing the compression when he would download the zip files. You might want to look into that.

Thank you very much. I did notice that the mac will actually de-compress the file as it downloads and when you re-compress the file it doesn't keep the correct format. Booted up windows 7 on my mac and re downloaded all the roms and kernal that I wanted and it worked flawlessly. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!! GREAT ADVICE AND AWESOME RESPONSE TIME. Mods plz close..issue solved!!!
Downloaded ROM automatically decompressed...
Ran into this when I started trying to flash ROMs on my Mac...come to find out I was in Safari and once downloaded, the ROM was automatically decompressed and taken out of .zip form. I downloaded the same files using Firefox, and it gave the option to either have something decompress the downloaded file automatically, or save the .zip file to the HD. Once I selected save the .zip file, it was gravy. Just a lil help since I didn't see it posted. Have fun!

Just rooted other day, when I finally found a rom I liked I had the exact same issue. Used that glorious search function on this forum, and found this.
Installed and downloaded rom via Firefox, and now running MikFroyo !!!

I get same error
Hi Even I get same error after installing the .nbh and then installing the system from boot menu. I tried installing .nbh from both methods as mentioned in the guide on how to replace windows mobile with android either through ativesync or by putting .nbh at sdcard root. Both end up with this error.
After installing the system I quit with option 10 and then it proceed to normal android boot but then it fails with the message mentioned above.
I tried both Krazy-Killa's kernel as well as one from valentine 1.0 build but same error. Not sure what is wrong. Are those nbh filed are not self contained? Do I need to install some other thing along with that?
Thanks in advance,
Nishant
I think that the message follow the guides in atools help was clear but...
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtools
worked
After following all the instructions pointed in the atools method and increasing the system memory size to full (system size increses to 160MB after downloading the modules as pointed on the page) I could install the android. I'm running into other issues but those are build related and not installation related. thanks for the help.
Was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance on using Heimdall on Ubuntu. I have everything installed and the phone is detected. To my understanding I can take a stock rom and unzip the TAR.MD5 and I will get the files I need to load into Heimdall. I want to create a complete restore back to stock like using the UVDMD5.tar.md5 in odin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Seriously no one knows anything about Heimdall?
I've been hunting high and low to figure this out. I'm down to needing the partition ID's for our device. Looks like I need partition identifiers for the following files. aboot.mbn, boot.img, cache.img.ext4, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, spm.mbn, sbl2.mbn, sbl3.mbn, system.img.ext4, tz.mdn
Any help appreciated.

Well I managed to figure everything out... I will be releasing a Heimdall flashable image of the latest soon.
Can anyone point me to a zip to deodex stock rom? Tried a couple of tutorials but I've always gotten errors while going through them.
Thanks

You want the tool or the latest deodexed firmware?
If you want I can done it
If you could provide me the zip to flash as well as the name of the tool to deodex, that would be great. That way I flash immediately as well as try to figure and learn how to do it myself slowly. Thanks. Much appreciated.
