Hi all.
I have created for users a kernel installer, to take out the hassle of typing out commands yourself.
For this to work, there are some requirements that must be met.
1-you have bootloader unlocked
2-you have fastboot drivers already installed. if you dont, please install them
This was created on windows 7, and i am yet to find out if it works on anything else. So please let me know.
I currently have 2 versions. The first is just the installer itself. Where you add your kernel (the boot.img) to the folder yourself. The second, is set up to install DooMLords latest kernel (version 3).
In the future, I am hoping to also create (with the developers permission), a one click installer for custom ROM's.
To use, just extract the folder, if necessary add your boot.img, then double click "FLASH KERNEL" and plug your phone in. The installer reboots the phone into the correct mode itself and wait
Plain installer (no kernel)

DooMLords DooMKerneL auto installer
http://www.4shared.com/file/WlrTYOxa/doomkernel-version3-autoinstal.html?
Credits:
DooMLord for his amazing work on kernels and many other releases
and many others who's names i cant think of right now, but the developers should know who they are!!
you are all amazing and a great inspiration!!
EDIT:
i am currently running androhero's ROM and dooms kernel on my phone, which were both installed via this method. if all goes well and i have no issues with the ROM, and i hear back from androhero with permission, i may soon be able to roll out easy installers for custom roms
Can this work for CM7 kernel? (if there is one)

that's the kernel i was using when i built the code
just download the kernel from the cm7 thread, download the plain installer, add the boot.img to the extracted folder, and BOOM!!! cm7 kernel installer!!
No disrespect but is it so much easyer than type this few fastboot commands?

some people dont feel comfortable doing it, or get it wrong. and may mess things up. this allows people to do it in a simple way.
and also, i plan to expand this into a one click type of installer to take out the hassle (and mistakes) of installing custom roms.
in essence, the less a noob has to do, the less they can get wrong and then we might have fewer people on the forum saying "i broke my phone :'(" etc. hehe.
okay thats true

I just copy the address line in the folder window and 'cd' + paste (folder address) in the cmd window and you're good to go with issuing commands. Some .exe files also works when drag and drop into the cmd window on winxp. Pretty sure it works with fastboot.exe and i know that bunzip2/bzip2 works that way on winxp.
Then again i feel comfy doing things from a cmd window and think it's more fun that way. Well flashing from recovery is also a nice way to do things, comes in handy when out and about. Used it alot with my HTC Desire HD.
Anyway nice move @solitarymonkey i think it'll come in handy for some users that don't feel comfy in all this cmd/fastboot thingy

I dont like the idea of real nooby noobs installing custom roms.
If they cant copy-paste a few commands i think it is a bad idea to have them run custom roms.
I would however like to see a stock rom + kernel installer, that wipes the cache and data(option), and relocks the bootloader(option).

i understand what you are saying. but in a way, shouldnt something that's open source be available to everyone?
and when i get the chance, i'll have a look into your suggestion. although flashtool can do that if you have both the ftf of the official rom that you want, and the bootloader lock file from blagus' tutorial thread ^_^
Ok so I'm one of the n00bs that this type of program will help.
I was wondering: is it 1) possible and 2) beneficial/additive to install something like doomlord's kernel while on the stock ROM?
I would really like to my phone to run faster, have better battery life, and have the ability to overclock and I think doomlords accomplishes all that.
What do you think?

Indeed. For people who regularly flash different roms and need different kernels for them, it removes the tedious and repetitive task of typing the same thing again and again. And it gave me something to do and experiment with for you guys ^_^

First, I'm not a developer, I've never made a rom now do I know how. Not that I can't learn. I'm just broke and have a horrible computer its so bad I haven't used it since I got my evo 4G. Anyway I'm not new to flashing, modding or anything to do with my evo. What I like to do is flash a rom as a base then find other tweaks and mods and flash them. remove things the developer put in and maybe replace them with other thing I find from other roms. Eventually I have a custom "rom" mostly unrecognizable from my original base. My question is, is it possible to nand my "rom" and turn it into a flashable rom to share with the community?

I believe you can use the latest version of clockwork mod to create a flashable update.zip of your current ROM that you could then share with people.
Edit: Option can be found under backup and restore options and is called "create image zip"

What about Ra? I guess I can check myself. If I rename the zip, would you still be able to flash it? Would it be considered a rom? Would I post it in developers section? With proper credit of course.

Amon Ra (I assume thats what you mean by Ra) is pretty old, I think its a CWM (Specifically clockwork mod 6 and above) only feature. Yes I'm pretty sure if your just renaming the zip and not modifying any thing else once you create the update.zip you should be able to flash it just fine. And yes it would be considered a ROM more of a cooked ROM since you didn't compile it from source, but still a ROM non the less. And yes since it's a ROM post you would post it in the development section (Not Original Development Section though), and as always like you mentioned proper credit is important :good:.
Thanks for the information. I'm using smelkus amon ra, I heard cwm didn't wipe properly. Has that issue been fixed? I'm gonna work on cooking my rom polish it up a bit and post it soon Thanks again for the information, gonna put you in my credits

The easiest and most legitimate way to get enough posts if to look through the the various Q & A threads and try and answer some peoples questions, or you can look through topics that interest you and comment on them in some way that adds to the discussion.
Thanks for the tip. That's what I was going to to do. Thanks again for the info.
So I finally got my rom how I want it, I flash the latest cwm, and the option to create a flashable zip is not available for the evo 4g. Any other ideas?

Try doing a data dump (dd) of all the partitions on your device using commands along the lines of: (Can be done from ADB shell or terminal emulator)
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
Also try "mounts" if that doesn't work
Then based on that output you dump the partitions using the dd command (Following is an example do not copy verbatim).
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/mtd/sdcard/system.img
Then take a meta-inf folder from a working ROM for your device, extract the contents of the system.img file so you have a system folder, and the boot.img once you have these three files zip them all up, and sign the Rom then flash in recovery.
Another suggestion, would be to just take the stock Rom or even Cyanogenmod for your phone and modify that using notepad++, Gimp, and 7-zip (PM me if you want some help with this).
Finally, you could look into compiling AOSP or Cyanogenmod from source for your device.

What is it:
Yet another implementation of the well-known miloj's root exploit for most Android ICS devices. It is said to be quirky as it operates on /system filesystem using debugfs. However, it definitely works on an XT910 running 672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU ICS official firmware without any ill effects.
Why yet another implementation:
I was sick and tired of cleaning up mess left by other implementations. This one will set minimal required permissions on the two files it dumps to /system partition. It will also remove all temporary files it is going to create during rooting process (i.e. no /data/local/12m/cmds et al.).
Requirements:
POSIX Bourne shell
ADB installed in PATH
Your Android device has to be ARM-based and be running on ICS up to 4.0.4
Please feel free to replace su binary and Superuser.apk app with your favorite ones. The ones packaged were taken from SuperSu 0.99 (4th Dec 2012) by Chainfire.

Unfortunately, neither of those work.
If there was a way to roll back to the ICS boot.img, the phone could be downgraded to ICS. Unfortunately, that's the only bit that fails when trying to flash back.
OP, why would you make a post for another way to root ICS at a point in time when a lot of people are looking for a JB Root?? At least clarify your thread title to state it is for ICS.

You can run it on Windows e.g. using Cygwin. You must have all drivers and ADB in place, and specifically ADB in PATH.

It's a shame, but - on the other hand - also a good sign that Motorola fixes bugs in their ROMs. Technically, what is holding you back from downgrading is version number of the boot partition stored in the CDT. The bootloader won't allow you to flash a partition image with version lower than the one stored in the CDT.

If you did bother reading OP (there is a reason I bother writing it, you know), you would have known it doesn't work on JB before downloading it. It is definitely fit for purpose, which is rooting ICS without leaving any residue and that's why I shared it. I'm happy to take any bug reports if it doesn't work as advertised.
Please note that some people found it useful and thanked me for sharing it - I'm glad it worked.
Added value of not including ICS reference in topic: People who are looking for a way to root JB leak obviously didn't bother to read OP in other threads, too - there's always time to learn.

Thanks for the info, and for your work on this. I've got a follow-up question, though. What's the possibility of unpacking the ICS boot.img, modifying the version number, and then repacking the boot.img? I really am not that knowledgeable when it comes to Android hacking/programing, so I don't know if it's even possibile.
This is probably off-topic for the thread, but from the way it looks, the two possible ways for getting root on the RAZR running OTA JB would be to downgrade to ICS (with a boot.img that will work) and follow the guides out there for updating to JB while keeping root, and the other would be to figure out the root exploit. Of course, I have no idea how to do either, but I'm wondering if a downgrade would be an easier approach than discovering an exploit that will work.
As a side thought, does your root method register with the root checker build into recovery? It would be absolutely genius if it didn't.

Sorry, it's not possible. Boot partition is protected with a digital signature, so the bootloader will detect modified/corrupted image and refuse to flash it. There's also a runtime validation, so even if you managed to flash a modified image it wouldn't run.

Since I haven't seen any other threads on this topic, I figured I'd go ahead and get the ball rolling for anybody interesting in building a custom ROM. As the title suggests, this is a completely deodexed system image for the latest firmware update we recently received.
Just to clarify, this is a (mostly) stock base, and is intended to serve more as a foundation/starting point for anyone looking to build their own ROM.
I took the liberty to update all applications to their newest/current version and preinstalled busybox, which should save everyone a considerable amount of time and data. I also removed about a dozen or so apps that don't serve any beneficial purpose to the phone, but I will still include them in the download link for anybody that wants them for whatever reason.
You will obviously need to be rooted in order to flash this through recovery, so unfortunately if you are one of the unlucky souls that lost it with the update, you'll have to wait for a custom tot to surface before you can flash this.
I've been running this image for the last couple weeks or so and haven't encountered a single issue, but you should still make a backup of your current setup prior to flashing just to play it safe.
Nothing special needs to be done when flashing it, just the standard factory reset along with SuperSU and you should be good to go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and hopefully you like it!

Yes, for simplicitys sake I chose to use an image in the zip instead. Not knowing if anybody would even be interested in this, it seemed like the logical route to take. Though you might have found other ROMS that are directory based for our phone, I doubt you've found another that's already predeodexed for you. Its also extremely simple to extract this image into the filesystem that you're looking for, but not the other way around.
