Hello everyone.
I want to create my own Custom ROM. I want to make it based on Stock ROM, but I don't know how to extract it.
I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, extracted the .tar.md5 file with 7-Zip and got the *.img files.
I read some guides about how to use Android Kitchen but I don't know how to start with the Stock ROM to make my ROM based on it, and then, use the Kitchen.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings!
Same procedure. Extract the .img with 7zip.

It didn't work. I get a message saying "Can not open file as archive".
Any answer?
There's loads of guides around, maybe adjust your google search terms.
Seriously, there are a massive amount of guides for this, you can't be looking very hard

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.
Hi,

You should be able to extract the boot and system images from Google's factory image.

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 !
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app
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 !
Hey!
I really want to make a custom rom, a heavily debloated stock rom. At this stage I am not thinking about adding customization or anything just debloat the stock rom as much as possible, recompile it, and flash it!
I've searched everywhere on how to do this but have not found any relevant information.
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?!?!?!
I have tried using sgs2toext4.jar to convert img.ex4 files from I9506 stock firmware and the mounting it in Linux Internals.
This does not work, as Internals does not show any files (0.00 bytes) even though the converted img.ext4.img file shows over 2.5gb in windows explorer.
How can I do this, what kind of tools do you DEVs use to extract, modify and finally repack it to a tar.md5 or flashable zip?
I am grateful for any response!
EDIT: Currently using windows 7 x64, I have access to a Linux/ubuntu if that is necessary. Also the device in question is I9506.
Regards,
mrd0pe
I had 50pc japan version of s5(sc-04f), installed rom 'G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN'. The downside of this rom is that its pre-rooted. I managed to unroot it by goin in supersu & click 'full-unroot'. But i had multiple devices to flash, so is there a way for me to re-pack this firmware again after i unroot it? So that i could flash it to my other devices without root.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Should we search for this firmware or you can provide a link to its thread?

Generally, if it's 6.0.1 and rooted systemlessly, you need to replace boot.img with a stock one and remove SuperSU app from system.img.
This ROM intended to be flashed from TWRP, so it's an ext4 image.
You can mount it to a linux system on your PC and remove anything you want.
I havent done anything like this before. Could u give me some links or guides? My PC is running Windows 10.

Ok, here' a simpler way:
1. Make changes on one phone.
2. Make a TWRP backup of boot and system partitions.
3. Restore this backup on other phones. They must have TWRP installed, a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem.
You'll have to rename backup's folder path and to wipe cache/data/system before restore.
can i use winrar to extract & compile the rom, without linux? So that i will have a much faster flashing process for all other units..

Ok, I've managed to download that ROM at last.
The things look even simpler.
To prepare an "unrooted" ROM:
1. Download the zip form this post and unpack updater-script somewhere.
2. Make a copy of V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip, open it with Windows Explorer and replace V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the file you've unpacked from the attachment.
3. Try to flash ans see if it's what you need.
thx so much, already passed all units to the buyer. ill try that on next batch restock, may iknow if there's a way to get the service menu shortcode *#0*# to work again? This rom doesn't has the service menu.

I've replaced the updater-script in the zip file, but supersu is still there
Hello, i need help with this "leaked" rom that i found in this wordpress forum.
I have downloaded it and follow the instructions but when i discompress the .tgz file with 7zip i get a .tar file that isn't recognizable by the CWM recovery, but if i change the extension from .tar to .zip it seems to be a .zip to be flashed with a recovery but the size is too small... So idk if i am doing something wrong so i hope that you can help me with it, Thanks.
PD: Due to limitation of the new users to post external links i can't post the link of the rom, but if you want it i can send you the link by email.
