Hey,
I am having trouble getting my rom to flash.. Here are the steps I've taken:
1: Downloaded Beans base and extracted it.
2: Fired up Archikitchen and started new project (create rom zip from rom zip)
3: Copied extracted rom (Beans base) into project folder created by Archikitchen.
4: Added mods and removed bloat from app and priv-app in project folder.
5: Went into Archikitchen and pressed bb to build rom zip.
6: Went in to OUTPUT folder and extracted rom zip I just created.
7: Copied META-INF folder from Beans base into rom I extracted from OUTPUT folder and replaced what was built with Archikitchen.
8: Compressed my rom back into a zip and moved it to my external sd card.
Depending on what I try, Ive gotten an updater script error, updater binary error, as well as just error flashing in safestrap on rom slot 1.
I have successfuly flashed Ricks rom and Beans base rom so I know its not my safestrap.
Ive tried Beans base meta folder as well as using Ricks base meta folder etc. and always get some errors. Please help by letting me know if Ive missed a step or what I could try out.
Mister has been a ton of help but we cant seem to figure out why it wont flash.
I have a rom under 700mb currently id like to upload after I can get it to flash. I havent messed with anything that would affect the flashing of the rom and all changes have been in app folder and priv-app folders only.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide!

You probably should ask this in the EVO Android Development forum. However, since I'm here, I'll do my best.
The boot.img should be at the root of the folder structure.
../NewFolder/system
../NewFolder/META-INF
../NewFolder/boot.img
You then have to zip the CONTENTS of ../NewFolder and sign the resulting zip with something like EasySign (http://android.grdlock.net/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Extras).
Or you can just load the original ROM into dsixda's kitchen in the original_update folder (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246), select '1' to create a work folder, copy the files into the correct locations, and then select '99' to zip and sign the ROM. It will then be in the OUTPUT_ZIP folder. The kitchen walks you through these steps really well, if you read the prompts.
Then flash the ROM.
This was featured on the XDA Homepage a few days ago, but the developer just confirmed that it should work for any flashable zip, and *should* work on any phone.
Thought I would give the heads up here.
Could fix random Force Closes/Bootloops that people get even when they had wiped multiple times before flashing a new ROM.
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765989
Edit: See post 3 in this thread for my results.
This should save a few headaches, but I think most issues are caused with people not wiping....this wont be able to fix that.
Well, I finally put this utility to the test and here are my results.
Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik, flashed BakedSnack 1.6 and immediately ran FixFlash. Here's my output:
Code:
E:\aEVO\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell sh /sdcard/FixFlash.sh
* daemon not running. starting it now *

Say your rom is BakedSnack1.6.zip, extract the contents to a folder called BakedSnack1.6 and place that folder on the root of your sdcard.
Make sense? Not sure how else to explain it.
Hi,

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 !
I'm a new developer and have applied all my tweaks and edits via root explorer so far. is there a way to change a CWM backup into a flashable rom file for other users to flash? I searched around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anything about it.
Goto this thread here
follow all the setup to install cygwin & kitchen
once it's all setup you can plug your phone in and create a rom
follow the guide (second method) for creating the rom system files by extracting the system folders from your phone (rom you are using)
you can then turn it into a flashable rom zip
I think you just basically extract the CWM backup, then repackage them in 1 zip file (except for the androidsecure backup).

YOU CAN USE THE CWM BACKUP IN KITCHEN YO MAKE A CUSTOM ROM.BUT YOU CAN'T ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP FILE DIRECTLY AS A CUSTOM ROM.
OTHER HAND YOU CAN MAKE ALSO THIS BACKUP AS A DEODEXED STOCK ROM BY DEODEXING THIS BACKUP FILES.

Extract the img file using Magic Iso
Open magic iso

Select ur system.img
On the left side pane right click on the disk icon and click extract.select ur destination
Once the files are all extracted copy all of them in a folder named "system"

I have a SM-T230NU Tablet I am trying to extract the patched v2.0 stagefright library from the stock rom :
T230NUUEU0APA1_T230NUXAC0APA1_XAC
By the way, I extracted by flashing the ROM to the device and then copied the files to an sd card and so on
I copied every thing from system/lib that begins with the name stagefright (total of 29 files) and tried to flash it in to a rom that doesn't have v2.0 patched but it doesn't work o.o Am i missing something. Or can anyone help me extract the files and make me a patch please
