Any 1 help me plz! i wanna backup my firmware without kies!
I need a video guide, saving firmaware and update my phone to Kyrillos' ROM v2.2 Gingerbread Edition!
Thanks all!
I also like to know how to backup the original firmware before i am flashing to a custom ROM, but i can't find a solution for this problem.
hope someone knows what to do
I think you can't. Only if there's a way to look in your system folders using your computer. Maby you can copy your firmware files from your system to your sd Using a file manager (like bluetooth file manager or androzip or something)?
As the title says.. Would that be possible? Because there isnt much roms made for the duos and those roms for SGY looks really good but i dont want to brick my phone.. So i just wanted to.confirm just to be safe..I dont mind if i cant use dual sims.. I only use one anyway.
Nopae.You have to mod the roms according to your phone's compatibility.
As written in post above you must port the rom
for example - if you were to flash a systemui.apk for galaxy y gt-5360 in duos everything would work (excluding dual sim in status bar) except it would force close if you tried to connect your phone to your pc because the usb smali files are slightly different
easy just to copy over usb smali files from duos ui to the 5360 ui but its just stuff like that
you can flash it and it will probably boot (if not just flash your nandroid backup or flash stock rom via odin) - just make sure there is no boot.img in the zip or delete that file - and then you will have to go through the rom and find all the force closes and things not working due to smali differences or different lib files and so on
you may also have to make build.prop changes and changes to updater script
Hi - I've seen that (for rooted users), SD card write access can be fixed by manually modifying platform.xml (or using an app like SDFfix to do it for you)
I haven't seen anyone else ask this, so here goes ...
Is it possible to replace/modify the platform.xml inside a stock Samsung rom, and then simply flash the modified .tar with Odin ? (thereby bypassing the need to be rooted)
If its not possible, can someone please explain (in simple terms) why ?
Well lots of people asked me here and on facebook to expain how i port custom roms for my device so i decided to make a Noob friendly thread for those who want to learn how to port custom rom for their device i use this method for porting samsung roms for my device but it may also work on any other device as well
I will make myself as clear and as simple as possible so anyone can understand what actually is happening in each part of the guide
The method i use for porting roms is as following :
Things which you need are : Notepad++ , 7Zip a laptop and a brain
First of all you need to understand what really matters when porting a custom rom for you device and that is the compatibility of both the devices one which is yours and one from which you are trying to port the rom from in order to port a custom rom the specifications of both the devices should be similar i.e. they should be sharing the same Chipset ,same Internal memory , same Ram and Camera resolution
Terms used in the guide:
-Base rom(this is the rom which was made for your device which you would use as a base for porting the roms)
-Port rom(this is the rom which your are trying to port for your device)
Step 1
Make a folder at your desktop and name it port now take any custom rom you want to port for your device and put it into that folder now just like this make another folder on the desktop and name it base and put a rom made for your device into it but be careful if youre trying to port a cyanogenmod based rom or a AOSP based rom then your base rom should be a ASOP or a cyanogenmod rom and if youre trying to port a samsung rom then the base rom should be a samsung rom and same as for htc , xperia or any other device
Step 2
Now go to base folder and right click on the base rom and choose extract here using either winrar or 7zip ( i recommend 7zip) now go to port folder and right click on it and choose open archive option from 7zip( there will be two options for open archive one and two just chose the upper one because the lower one will extract the rom and we don't want that for this one )
Step 3
The port rom elements will be shown like meta inf and system and boot img ( absent in some cases) now go to port roms system folder then proceed as following system>etc>firmware and delete the firmware folder now go to base rom and copy the firmware folder from the same path by going from system>etc>firmware and paste it into the etc folder of the port rom
Step 4
Now go to the port rom proceed as following system>lib>modules and delete the module folder and just like how we did before copy the module folder from the base rom into the port roms lib folder
Step 5
Now go to port rom and proceed as following system>usr>keylayout>generic.kl and delete it and copy the generic.kl from the base rom into the port rom
Step 6
now copy and replace the boot.img from the base rom into the port rom
Step 7
No go to port folder and and proceed as following system>meta-imf>com>google>android>updater binary and updater script and delete these two and replace from the ones in the base folder
Step 8
Now put the port rom into your external-sd card and flash via recovery with a full data and cache wipe
Some fixes for bugs and issues:
Note: try replacing the files into the port rom and see if the problem solves or not
NFC
/system/app/Nfc.apk
/system/lib/libnfc*.so
/system/bin/pcscd
Radio
/system/bin/fmradio
Sensors
/system/bin/akmd*
/system/lib/libsensors.so
Bluetooth
/system/bin/bd_prov
/system/bin/uim*
/system/bin/hcid
/system/bin/bluetooth*
/system/bin/hciattach
/system/bin/sdptool
/system/xbin/hciconfig
Wifi
also copy and replace the wlan.ko file from system>libs>modules into the port rom from the base rom if the file name is pronto_wlan.ko then rename it to wlan.ko before replacing
/system/bin/netcfg
/system/bin/dhcpcd
/system/bin/ifconfig
/system/bin/hostap
/system/bin/hostapd
/system/bin/hostapd_bin
/system/bin/pcscd
/system/bin/wlan*
/system/bin/wpa*
RIL
/system/bin/stmd
/system/bin/rild*
/system/etc/rril
Camera
Copy libcamera*.so from base to port rom
If rom does not boot after that, replace file one by one and see which file is the problem.

Greetings all, I have been a long time lurker on this site and have recently been having some troubles, I am trying to deodex and zipalign my stock note 3 rom and am having trouble flashing it, for the most part I have been using supers kitchen to debloat, deodex etc etc. The problem that I have run into is in my phone model, I have the Samsung galaxy note 3 SM900S (which is the Korean variant) and it seems to not accept most of the rom .zip or .img that I have thrown at it.
I can successfully flash the stock rom using odin (Ill attach the rom to this post) as it is in tar.md5 format, I cant seem to export my deodex’ed file to tar.md5 and if I export to zip then convert to tar (using the converter)
My question at this point is:
- Do any of you already have a rom (or link to a rom) for the stock n900s that is already rooted/debloated/deodex’ed/zipaligned
- Can one of you possible build it for me ? (I can do all of the steps above but cannot export in a way that odin will accept and flash it)
Link to stock rom - drive google com/file/d/0B3aQFbA7f755TVItTFdkR1hxYnM/view
Due to being a new user I had to make the link not look like a link so you will need to add "."
