[DUMP] System Dump for all who are interested - Desire Z

Here is (Desire Z) System Dump, help working on it.
Hi everyone! Here comes a Desire Z dump
http://www.multiupload.com/5RSGRQFATK
This is NOT a flashable zip file.
It is a file collections for ROM Dev.
This is Dump slimdizzy gave us,
so all
credits for porting it and make it work goes to slimdizzy, thanx man!
He made a dump of the device but would like some help to make sure no personal elements are left since the device was being used as a daily use phone. The dump is about 300MB big. All he did was put busybox into /data/local, chmod it to 755 and then tar'ed the /system directory.

Uhh...well, you'd need to unpack the system directory, place it all in an update zip, write an update script (or updater-script w/ update binary), sign it, and flash it. It will not work on any devices though without some (or a TON) of modification.
Good luck.

cool beans, hope it doesnt run as slow as the hd port did on my droid1

sorry dumb question but is this for the htc evo too

No this is a dump and therfore is just a bunch of files (at least to the average user). Some devs (IncredibleDoes) check out his twitter are working on porting this to the incredible and the evo.

maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device
also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...
this could work:
just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...
and follow the installation instructions in my post

look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428
you can see whats working and whats not working...
you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip
but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device
and do not forget to follow the installation instructions
for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers"
(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)
--------------------------
here are instructions for camera testers:
Few important things:
1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.
2. make a logcat:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):
Linux shell:
Code:
cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt
Windows cmd:
Code:
type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt
3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless
4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone
----------------------------------
Additional Links:
You can try files from these phones.
Phones with MSM8255:
- CDMA XPeria Play
- LG Revolution
- HTC Desire S
- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works
- My touch 4g - camera works
- Xperia play - camera works
- Htc desire s - camera works
- Huawei honor - official ICS
- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.
folders for all files:
do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!
*.so files to /system/lib
media_profile.xml to /system/etc
camera.apk to /system/app
firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)
---------
now you can start with testing.
for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.

[Developer Discussion] JB Rom Creation

Hi All,
I'm starting this thread so that we can compile in one location the methods we attempted to create a zip for the recent Jellybean update, and hopefully advance the creation of this rom. This should be mentioned before starting.
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE RELEVENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS JELLYBEAN ROM.
This Includes:
Procedures
Logcats
Test Builds
Helpful Suggestions (Be Specific)
To start, I've attempted the following alterations on the zip level:
Straight System dump with updated updater-script
System dump with default updater script
Modified updater script removing patch elements
Utilizing the Canadian Rom, which flashed and appplying new system.
Swapping out radio flashing and boot.img with shellnutt's boot.img
I also have the following plans:
System Dump on Canadian Rom, and default boot.img
Recursive Deleting of patched files
Example
Code:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so", "65cfe8efc36cf58669e5fb9f30274bc49c3f9703", "e1a051bb2562af8d9b106ef4b875f85a6109ee9e"));
set_progress(0.003080);
delete("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so");
Than initiate the normal package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Any other information would be great. Some developers have gotten it to flash but not boot.
Also, here's a link to the test builds I released.
http://goo.im/devs/AdriVelazquez/Roms/Nightlies/TestSprint
Thanks to all the developers that have been working on it.

This is what I've tried:
Used the boot.img & system.img. from dump to compile a rom in dxsdia's kitchen. I was able to apply root to the boot.img and compiled a zip but it wont flash. I then added the updater script from the dump but it still wouldn' t flash. Ithink my problem is in the updater script. I didn't take thetime to configure the kitchen properly for the optimus G but will do so tonight. I have the 2 test zips at home and I'll post them tonight if anyone wants to take a look.

Suggestion:
Since houstonns Korean port boots, and all is well except radio, would it also help to look at that system dump along with the Canadian? Maybe something to utilize?

I also tried both mentioned here, none worked for me as well. I contacted couple of friends to help us out, Scott (Scrossler cleanrom series) already answer me back, he's looking into it, I will let u guys know if they get something working.
Edit: houston answer as well, he is gonna work on it as well.

Update:
Some how i was able to extract that"system.new.dat" and it contains all the folders which are present in system folder in kitkat rom,i had done modifying the files, my rom is almost at the final stage,now i just want to know how to repack it back to system.new.dat.. This is the last step then we will have our lollpop rom

Dude Porting needs to be carried out between ROMs having Same android versions.
Your Moto G Rom CM12 is Android 5.x and CM11 is Android 4.4.4

Unfortunately, you won't have any luck with porting different android versions. Porting KK from JB was possible because they were pretty similar.

I have ported the rom,but dont know why it is getting stucked at bootlogo,do anyone has solution of this?

Yeah i think,this may be a kernel issue, because i have tried many possibilites in building this rom, spent 2 weeks in it,everything seems to be right, but dont know what the problem is, i tried looking out in mokee 5.0 rom by syhost to get to know where i am going wrong, but he has protected his rom with some password thats why i am not able to get know about the inside contents,if i install his rom in my device,is there a way to extract boot.img(which is the kernel) using terminal on android , let me google it
And yes thanks for what you are doing, helping people in their work keep it up bro, thats how the forums run

Hey its the link for mokee lollipop nightly for moto g.... Maybe u could use this for porting to redmi 1s,as now both have same android version...
Hope its helpful...

I don't know much about this stuff, but i guess i could help you in getting the kernel and the system folder used in mokee 50.1 by syhost. Flash the rom, back it up using twrp. Then in the twrp folder you'll see two files like boot.emmc.win and system.emmc.win (names might not be same as i mentioned, but the extension is .win and also you'll know what's what if you just see the file size). Then rename boot.emmc.win to boot.img ~ you'll get the kernel. Rename system.emmc.win to system.tar, extract it ~ you'll get the system folder (although i'm not sure about the image file). Give it a try.

r4 - Custom ROM starter template - Honor 5X KIW-L21 B330

As well as my own MoDaCo Custom ROM for the 5X, I've created a custom ROM starter template for anyone who wants to have a go. It's a bit different.
Basically, this ROM template will let you create your own custom ROM VERY easily. Easier than ever before. All you have to do is...
download my ROM template zip
make the changes to the system of your phone just as you'd like them for your custom ROM
run some commands on your device via ADB
add the 2 resulting files to the template zip
That's it! No messaging around with install scripts, no rebuilding anything complex, just mod - and go!
Preparation
ONLY if you are completing the process for the first time, you need to set up a file on your microSD card - so launch and ADB shell and type the following commands...
Code:
touch /sdcard/exclude
echo app > /sdcard/exclude
echo priv-app >> /sdcard/exclude
echo delapp >> /sdcard/exclude
ROM build
Once you have your system up and running how you want it, and you're ready to distribute it (just the system and cust dirs mind, it won't pull the data dir, so your personal data is safe), reboot to recovery, launch an ADB shell and type the following commands:
Code:
mount /system
tar -X /sdcard/exclude -zcvpf /sdcard/system.therest.tar.gz /system/
tar -zcvpf /sdcard/system.apps.tar.gz /system/app /system/priv-app /system/delapp
mount /cust
tar -zcvpf /sdcard/cust.tar.gz /cust
You'll then end up with 3 new files on your SD card - system.apps.tar.gz (which is apps and priv-apps from system), system.therest.tar.gz (which, as the name suggests, is the rest of the system partition!) and cust.tar.gz with is the cust partition contents.
Update the template zip with these 3 files and that's it. It's ready to distribute for people to flash via TWRP! If you have updated the boot image, you'll need to replace that too, the easiest way is to do a TWRP backup then pull that file from the SD card and drop it into the template zip as boot.img. That's really it!
I hope this inspires a few people to start playing around with custom ROMs for the 5X... more cool things coming soon!
Oh and the all important template file...

Thankyou, can I use this script for L-22? And will your MoDaCo rom will work with L-22?

I don't think this one will in its entirety, but you can make your own template by pulling the boot image from the TWRP backup and using the commands above to create the files to put in the zip.

Oh, I see. I will try after my exams. And MoDaCo rom will support all versions or only L-21?

I tested it on my L24-B140 and it worked just fine. Thanks for sharing

I think it's going to be worth integrating /cust into this too, as they are a lot of things pulled from there (such as the build.prop changes). It'll be simple enough though.
re: non KIW-L21 devices, creating a template for other models shouldn't be any issue at all. I'm getting a US spec Honor 5X, so that'll be helpful.

Are you referring to the cust/hw/USA/prop/local.prop
the rest of the stuff in cust seems pretty standard like (media/bootanimation.zip)

Might as well make all of /cust changeable.

so just add tar -zcvpf /sdcard/system.apps.tar.gz /system/app /system/priv-app /cust
or does it need it's own line and an updater-script edit to include it

That should probably work. updater-script will need to include mounting /cust too.

yeah that worked as expected, only question is their any user info stored in /cust that we might not want to share ?
I didn't check every file in their

No, /cust is read only.

So just to be sure, if I want to remove facebook and twitter from /cust/preinstalled/public
I would need to add --> run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/cust/*");
to erase the /cust folder first ? the same way /system is erased / formated

Exactly.

Alright, here's my updater-script with all the changes
Code:
ui_print("Flashing boot...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot");
delete("/tmp/boot.img");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
mount("ext4","EMMC","/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "/system");
mount("ext4","EMMC","/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cust", "/cust");
ui_print("Erasing system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/system/*");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm", "-rf", "/cust/*");
ui_print("Extract Apps...");
package_extract_file("system.apps.tar.gz", "/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "tar", "zxvf", "/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz", "-C", "/");
delete("/tmp/system.apps.tar.gz");
ui_print("Extract System Files...");
package_extract_file("system.therest.tar.gz", "/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "tar", "zxvf", "/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz", "-C", "/");
delete("/tmp/system.therest.tar.gz");
sync();
unmount("/system");
unmount("/cust");
ui_print("Done Enjoy !!");
set_progress(1.000000);
