[Q] Blue screen and i am desperate :(

I was only trying to install a new rom but with cwm i deleted everything by mistake, boot etc. After that, when i tried to open phone, it went into blue screen and i connected to pc but there were no files. SO i put
amss.mbn
boot.img
EMMCBOOT.MBN
recovery.img
files to image file that i created but still cant open.And before deleting everything, i had a problem, in cwm it gave error "cant mount sd card".
I tried to format sd card but it did not.
SO, i cant use internal sd card but i found 8 gb sd card of my brothers, but i dont want to lose his files. SO what can i do now with thhat?

When i connect, pc behaves as if i first time connects, tries to find drivers and shows the phone memory only not sd card in my computer.
And it is empty file .
I now put dload(update and update cust apps in it ) to sd card of my brother and put to phone, vool - and + and then now it is installing but after it is completed, i cant still open the phone. What is wrong with that? Do i need imei or what?

Ok.

I want to upgrade to cyanogenmod, because it seems it is the latest.
1-Check your stock version. If you are on froyo 2.2.* go to step 5 else if you are on official gingerbread 2.3.5 continue to step 2.
2-Given that you are on official 2.3.5 you need to downgrade to stock froyo.
3-Get the latest stock froyo from here and put the dload directory into your sd card.
4-Power off. Press both volume keys and power on. Wait for the update process to finish. Once rebooted wipe data/cache.
5-Get Official CWM from here.
6-Remove the dload folder and boot into pink screen by holding both volume keys and power on.
7-Replace recovery.img with the cwm recovery provided on step 5.
It saysthat. First i should install stock froyo?

Better PM the Xote dev for an automated non-aroma rom, if he has the time and is willing to.

There are some tutorials in the AT&T thread. Basically, you move the apps you want from the Aroma locations into the system/app folder and replace the META-INF folder with one from a non-aroma ROM. As long as you don't share it out, I don't think anyone will have a problem with it...If you're not comfortable doing that, it might be better to ask as stated above me.

The easiest way is to basically remove the meta-inf folder and replace it with a stock one without aroma. Then open up updater-script and make sure everything is in the correct places that is listed in the script. Usually, make sure you move the kernel you where the script file says (it's usually the root of the zip). You can then remove whatever folder the Rom dev used for aroma, sometimes it's extras, apps, etc. Then rezip and try flashing it.
---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------
Oh and make sure you move everything from the last step back into its appropriate place in the system folder before you remove that folder. For example, if the dialer is on that other folder, make sure to move it back to system/priv-app or the dialer will not be installed and you will have a bunch of issues on boot.

Just take one out of any Rom for your device that doesn't have aroma. Just make sure it's from your device to make sure the wipe paths and kernel paths are correct.

Just the info that I was looking for thanks

Need help with apktool

Maybe someone can help me here.
Hello I am trying to work on a mod for rom I am working on. But the warnings I am getting happen even with untouched files. I took secsettings.apk and decompiled it no warning or errors and then recompiled it and got those warnings. Didn't change anything.
I am editing the Secsettings.apk.
I am able to decompile it just fine with apktool 2.0.0 but compiling is another story. I install framework-res.apk and even installed twframework-res.apk. but this is what I get with unedited secsettings. I get same results when I do my edits.
I am doing
apktool b SecSettings
It is putting files in the build file
Is this ok?

What warnings or errors are you getting?

Crap sorry get the ss didn't get attached sorry.

Those warnings are normal, as long as it builds, which it did, you'll have a new apk in the dist folder.

After I recompile I need to sign it correct the adb push it back to where I came? I don't need to push both frameworks back right or do i?
Edit. Also what a good signing program/script that works. I have one but not sure if it is up to date or now. Back to work so won't respond for 6 hrs....gotta love 10 hr work days...

No, don't sign it. Right click on the new and original apks, use 7zip to open each archive, drag android manifest and meta-inf from original to new apk, and then you can put it in your phone and fix permissions

Do I adb push it there or can I just copy it there and fix permissions?

I'm wrong, not resources! Drag meta-inf over. The resources has all the changes.
---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------
So drag manifest and meta-inf. I always copy the apk over, but you can use adb too.

Don't know if u know the answer to this but I am using this as a base for my rom. I am on the s5 att active g870a.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
when I go into the zip it is boot.img ,recovery.img and bunch of other files in which I'm not use to working with those for the rom. How do I go about making the stock files for the basecond of my rom which would be the system file and all that. I read somewhere that I use adb command to copy my system file to like my SD card and then move to my pc. But the other files like meta-inf and all that I guess I will have to make myself?

Starting a new rom help.

OK have a couple questions to make sure I understand the processes in making my new rom.
1)when I decompile apks like secsettings do I need to pull framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk and install it before decompiling and recompiling?
2)after I make any of my changes and make the new rom zip I need to sign it correct?
3)below is pics of what I am working with and what I want to work with so to speak. My rom base I got permission to use is from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
The file structure in the zip is pic 1. But I am use to working with the pic 2 file structure of system and meta-inf. How do I go about making the first go into the 2nd pic. I read something somewhere about using adb command to copy my phone system folder to my SD card and then moving it to my pc. But then how do I got about getting the meta-inf folder. Do I need to make my update-script or is the a generic one I can use?

Hello

Sounds good I already have all the Java and sdk stuff install and been decompiling so of the secsettings. The base I am using is deodexed but will still need to use that app for future mods to add so ty.
Do I need to sign the zip after I make the rom or no?
also how do I get the meta-inf folder with the updater-script? Do I need to make one my self?

In TWRP recovery is a option to flash zip without signature if you want you can sign the zip

Inside the meta inf floder is updater script end update binary you must edit updater script which note++ for you own needs you find in xda meta inf floder

If you don't now to edit updater script you can ask to xGMERZ to generate on with the kitchen in linux

Modify/Edit/Repack TW Custom Roms

Hello,
Can anyone guide me how to modify/repack touchwiz custom roms, published on XDA?

There are two files to read, read and read again until you have practically all answers about the structure of a custom rom :
1- updater-script
2- aroma-config
Both located in "/META-INF/com/google/android" in the rom's zip.
This will be a good start.

Make no sense!
There are tools which take care of META-INF files, why bother?

You can open a rom zip in win rar and modify add or delete then close .
Do not extract .

you are wright, use these tools.

I use 7zip (FOSS) and did same only to get error during flash. Obviously because meta files are not edited. Can those error be ignored?
