what should i do first anyone wanna help me here??? what are good apps, or roms to try and stuff. new to android just looking for some help.
my idiot friends did it i signed in on his comp
start by looking in the guide wiki page read everything you cn in there so that you completely understand what you are doing. then the first thing to do is root.
use the pre-kitchen. it's the easiest way to get root on your phone.
find it in the ROMS sticky wiki.
ROMs are also in the sticky wiki. i'd say go with fresh 1.1 or gumbo 1.5c for now, and when you get a better knowledge of what's going on then maybe test on like 2.1 and stuff.

ok that was added after I posted not sure what thats all about.
Guys, I wanted to learn how to make one. I know the basics, but wanted to know what language it's written in and what are all the functions it supports and their syntax.
Where can I find this information? I tried searching but did not find anything.
edit: found a very helpful thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
making an update.zip isn't that hard, the only part that actually requires a bit of learning or familiarity is the update-script. just look at examples from themes and ROMs, and you'll likely get the hang of it really quickly. lastly, use a signing utility(i use autosign).

Thanks. Someone else had mentioned that. I did start looking the script and the update.zip file. But I wanted to figure out additional commands. What other functions are available for our disposal.
You searched it good alright. Let's see what 'make update.zip' comes up with on google. Oh my gosh, HOW TO MAKE UPDATE.ZIP FOR ANDROID PHONES.

Thanks hot shot.
Why dont you follow that link and see what it says for yourself. None of the links give me what i want. I already know that I can backwards engineer a update.zip. That's trivial.
I want to know other commands that are available. Someone has to know. Unless even the devs started to just modify old zips and go from there. That I can do too.
I swear there are people like you just searching threads to post such remarks instead of real technical or meaningfull posts.
okay I found some syntax for update script. Check out this thread.

word.....not exactly helpful.
I know that I found something similiar to what you're looking for....now I just need to remember where...
I made a tool so we can decrypt the acer updates easier.
Also added decryption key change if acer decides to change the key.

well done！
have you tested it？
I have KIS 2011
Thor...sorry...I didn't mean that. I want to try it badly...it is just my stupid KIS...since I am using the company laptop so I can't take the risk...I will try it on another computer. Sorry.
PS: How to use it?

select the encrypted zip update by pressing input file and hit start
where do I get the encrypted zip update? I saw the new update 1.144.07 yet I couldn't find it anywhere to download? Once I find it and get it decrypted, what would i do next?
you have no use for it if you dont know whats it for....
its for advanced users... not noobs
Thank you for your extreme support. If that is the case please change the title of ur topic to DEV Only. I thought the point is to help everyone. Cheers

thanks for nothing.
How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Too many users ask lots of questions that could be avoided by reading the posts / some other topics. I can totally understand him.
Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.
for command line one can use this xor 0.2 (aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm).
usage:
xor.ex input output 0x12

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

man... what are you talking about. the OP only says, click this and that..
He asked, WHAT COULD HE DO AFTER HE HAS DECRYPTED THEM.
Absolutely legitimate question.

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.
dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?
read one of my guides below.
anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

reencryption can be achieved with this app also but doesnt help us...
please stop talking here if its not related to development...

how can we know the decrypter key and what it is when acer changes it? how?
Hello Nookers,
Remember that Sense 3.0 Port for Nook Project a long time ago? Well, the thread got closed because there wasn't a full product ready.
I'm almost done with my first working Sense Port, but I just need one more thing. First, lemme explain. These apps fail to works because the dump I used was an EVO View 4G dump, not the Wifi-Flyer's dump. So I have now managed to get a hold of a Deodexed Flyer RUU. I have extracted the ROM.zip containing system.img, data.img, etc. What I need now is a way to extract files from those. I have access to a Mac and PC but if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY I will install Linux.
Thanks,
King Black Bomb.
Moo
if they are img files you can use IM disk to mount the img file on your PC. then you can access them and remove the files that you need to remove.
Dude, before you got banned two weeks ago, you said this would be done in 4 days, and you are still working on it? This is why you are not considered a credible developer.
You can use winimage to extract img files.

As I agree with the user above about your lack of credibility I'll add some info here for you to try to achieve your task. Attached is the program I use to extract images. ALL YOU DO IS DROP THE IMG FILE ON THE EXE AND IT WILL EXTRACT.
Yes, I did say that, and it was a mistake on my part I thought I would have found the program by then. Turns out a didn't. @xboxexpert I have tried unyaffs it does not work on either Mac or Windows. WinImage? It doesn't work. For some reason it seems encrypted. Same for IMDisk.
why are you even still trying this? HTC HAS MADE SENSE OPEN SOURCE AND WILL BE RELEASED ANY DAY NOW. www.htcdev.com

As I understand it, there aren't plans to make HTC Sense open source. This simply lets you write applications that make use of HTC Sense-specific APIs.
Woohoo, more free lawls! Get 'em while they're hot!
The kid has been stuck on the same step for several months, regardless of whichever RUU he stumbles upon on bittorrent. It's pretty pathetic at this point...
did you extract the exe from the rar?

Wooo - make fun of the kid! Why would anyone want to encourage learning! I'm a hypocrite, but only this once: If you're going to reply, at least attempt to answer his question or make progress towards an answer.
As long as actual development happens. I'm all for support.

You really need to read his old thread to understand -- in it, I was one of the only members trying to help him... at first. He proceeded to dismiss everyone's guidance -- consistently claiming to know better -- and continued to lie about "progress" for weeks. The extent of his "development" was copying and pasting the Sense apk's into /system... seriously.
There's history here with this clown, so please save your judgments for someone else...
You can try DiskInternals Linux Reader:
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
OK, so you need to extract system.img files. You don't have to install Linux, you can run it from a Live CD. And mount loop the .img file to a folder on your system.
Mind PM'ing me a link to the download so I can do so for you? Then you can go ahead and do the port as you would say?
-Racks
To everyone who says I'm not a dev:
I have been making progress, because at first it was complaining about audio drivers, then files in /system/etc, and it kept on going. Finally, and i THINK this is the last step, is to push Wifi-Only frameworks, apks, and the /system/etc folder.
@racks11479 thanks, but I'll only tell others to do my work if I can't. But again thanks for offering.

What are you talking about, aren't you saying you need help extracting the system.img? I'm offering to help...
Isn't that the particular request you are asking in your OP? This is a developer community, everyone here welcomes help where needed. Not one developer on this forum has ever denied any help when they were stuck on an issue.
Not flaming you, but trying to help so you can continue the port you are working on. Don't let pride get in the way of progress.

No not pride, it's just as soon as I say yes people will say "oh, the kid need serious help. Can't even extract a system.img."

Frankly, they have been saying that for some time now.
As it is, this thread has NOTHING to do with the nook, and needs to be closed. Frankly, i wish you would refrain from making these posts. It is obvious that you have no idea what is going on, and your posts are only serving to make this public info. I welcome everyone working on their dev skills, but strongly encourage those who are learning, to post about it in the right way....

This topic just needs to die. I saw this topic right after he created it but decided to lay low because I had hoped the topic would die out. since it seems like it wont i then must beg for people to stop posting here. Developers and other commenters have been very genorious in giving time and credibility to this poster (me excluded) and all he does in return is deny your help. He has been offered solutions like the ones given before but either he is not smart enough to handle such tasks or he is just a huge troll. So please ignore him. Please let this be the last post in this topic. This has gone on long enough and just needs to stop. If you don't then i will be forced to start posting pictures of dudes in g strings. Thank you very much
