status on rooting cliq

I found this on http://cliq-development.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13
hopefully this can help anyone who is trying to develop a way for root on the cliq.
To get where we are at in development you must learn about a few things
.SHX = A re-flashing file similar to a .nbh on the HTC brand. It is a full re-flash of everything on the phone, full stock. When extracted it creates three files the main one is the CG2
CG2 = A file extracted from the shx that hold the main partitions that will be flashed to the phone.

A developer by the name of Meiner Einer created a program named SbfRecalc. With this program we can extract three files and as i stated above the most important one is the CG2

(http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525477)
A developer by the name of Skrilax_CZ created a program named CG2 Parser. With this program we can extract all of the files within the CG2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you extract all of the files from the CG2 you will find that some of the names were similer to the partitions of the cliq. With a little file manipulation i recreated a boot.img and a recovery.img from some of the files. The guys over at modmymoto dumped a full system partition.
(http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?t ... oot_Images)
To recreate both the boot.img and the recovery.img just do these simple steps
1. Create a directory and put either bootsec.mbn or recoverysec.mbn from the CG2 dump inside it
2. Download the split_bootimg.pl from the link above and run it with the file in the directory to get both a kernel and a ramdisk file.
3. Using the mkbootimg from the android source code you can recombine the kernel and the ramdisk files to create your boot.img/recovery.img strait from the re-flash file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the system dump from modmymoto and my boot.img(+a little root) I created an update.zip file with root ready to be flashed when the keys are ready.
This is where we are at any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, nice work!
This could really so with a sticky...

Thanks for the update! The cliq goes hard. Once rooted its ova, best android phone on tmo!

Nice! It would be really great if you could repost this at android-devs.org over in the cliq development section of the forum
Since XDA is only for HTC phones and most people here most likely don't have the cliq and there really isn't a correct forum to have this posted in..
I'd reccomend using android-devs.org forums

Combine Sapphire ROM file to a single update file?

@All,
My question is very simple I believe.
The latest RUU release for Sapphire/Magic contains after extraction 2 zip files as follows:
rom.zip
This contains the following files:
android-info.txt
boot.img
recovery.img
spalsh_HTC_Magig.nb0
system.img
userdata.img
rom1.zip
This contains the following files:
boot_special.img
hboot_7200A.nb0
radio.img
Is it possible somehow to combine the above 2 ROM files so that the device can be flashed with one single sappimg.zip file?
I tried combine all above files into one single zip archive, but flashing does not start. maybe I have overlooked something somewhere, or special attention have to be given to some config file or something have to be added maybe?
I do not want to flash via RUU package, only via card method. Any suggestions as to how the above can be done?
Regards

How to extract system.img, userdata.img

open your ruu.exe file and you can find a file named update.zip in your local temp directory before click the next button.

how to extract ruu

How do you get the system folder out of an ruu?
Mainly /system/app

Uhh Ohhh!
Whislt trying to see if the ruu Would extract any files to my comp. I didnt realise my wildfire was plugged in! Will it be ok?
P.s it was a Wildfire S RUU!

It didnt change or edit anything!?
CM7 still!

Lol just imagine using a WF S ruu and ending up with Sense 2.1
Ontopic: Try using one of the "safe" RUUs found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
They are flashable files so you can see if you can find anything useful in there.

Hi. Sorry for my english, but if U want extract rom files from RUU exe you must do this.
1. Start RUU exe to first screen, and leave it. Don't close.
2. Go to %TEMP folder (strat->run->%TEMP or samething like that %TEMP%???)
3. Search for file ROM.zip (iT schould be in one of those strange name folders, you can use search tool)
ROM.zip contains ale files to flash wf. Radio, hboot etc

It won't change anything. Even flashing an ruu of different region ends up with error. How can a different device ruu make changes to the wildfire.
And I think you are attempting to extract wildfire s apps and install it in wildfire . But it will not work. Those apps will be HTC only and device specific AFAIK. Otherwise I think we would have had great features.

Coming to the process of extracting system/apps from an ruu.
Donot connect the phone to pc. First click on the windows pc start and type "%temp%" without quotes and enter. This opens the user temporary folder. Now open the ruu and wait for a couple of minutes. Do not go with the process. Just keep the ruu window aside. Now if you see the temporary folder, there will be a couple of folders created which will have a lengthier name within the { } brackets. If you search in these folders you will find a Rom.zip file. Copy this Rom.zip file to a safe location.
The rom.zip contains the system.img and other img files. Now you should extract the contents of img files with a seperate tool called unyaffs. There is also an Android application in particular for doing that (yaffs expert). This is the thread to go for that process.

You should be able to extract the boot and system images from Google's factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
I wasn't aware that the kitchen worked with the Nexus 4 as its still listed as one of the unsupported devices but the thread hasn't been updated since October of last year so maybe that changed.
this is copied from dsixda's kitchen thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 post #3):
How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
(The instructions below are for HTC devices in general. For other devices, please visit the appropriate thread.)
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices.
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder. If the ROM also includes a lib.img (found in some newer HTC ROMs), then copy that as well!
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder

Hm, i see. But the problem with the dev links for Google is that it's 4.2.2 and not 4.2.1... I would like to stay to an older version for the moment, with those problems with bootloaders, kernels etc... I will try with system and boot img, thanks !

Well, i tried to use the tutorial about shipped rom, but my system.img and boot.img files aren't recognized by the kitchen... So i don't know how to do Halp ?

In this thread you have posted link to factory image with android 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

Great !! Thanks a lot eskeyy !
