I am not new to flashing rome and such but I have never flashed these init hacks before and now there are a few threads out there and I'm a little confused.
So here is what I have so far. I'm on eclipse 0.4 and wanting to install the hacks. I am rooted and have installed the bootstrap. I know how to flash the zips for the hacks but what I am confused about now is this...
Should I just flash Overminds new hack then speedy gonzales? or still flash naven's then Overminds then speedy? or can I just flash Overminds and be good to go?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this is a repetitive thread.
From my understanding 0.4 has the init hack folder already created so just flash the speedy_flashable.zip from overminds thread using system recovery. His flashing process is supposed to clean up any conflicts. To double check after flashing check out the init.d folder is /system folder for the proper files. If you are missing the proper files you may have to run overminds modification. Make sure you have busybox 1.18.4. I had 1.19.0 before starting.

Question Is Simple, Is There A Specific Binary For The "updater-script" ?
I've Tried Both The Froyo Binaries From MinX(c21johnson) And CorteX2(ryman222).
Also Tried The Pre-Rooted Gingerbread(P3Droid) Binary.
I Have Rattled My Brain Too Long And Trying At Least 100x To Flash 1 Zip By Changing The Edify Script And Binary I Need Help Now. Please Either Reply Or PM Me If You Have Knowledge, Insight, Or The Answer. This Is What's Stopping Me From Really Starting To Play Around With The Device.
Much Thanks,
Mikey
If this is any help .... when using the uot kitchen I have to replace the update binary from the rom they cook with the one from p3droids 2.3.3 zip and that works for me

I think the update binary is specific to the rom you're running

It's just a system dump from the Motorola Electrify. It's more or less the same as our stock system dump.
Well let the rom making begin! I wanna root and flash my phone badly....but I dont wanna do it until there is a way I can go back to stock for warranty purposes.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

First off, thanks for all your efforts to provide us with this...
Second, root is a requirement for the dump and so even with the Superuser app, what you supplied is most definitely stock.
Unless of course you deleted anything in /system/ prior to the dump...

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?
Anyone seen it yet or have it? Would appreciate it
Thanks

Lg Enlighten CWM Recovery BETA
Created By A Rom Developer from Phandroid by the Alias of
death2all110
"This is based off of CWM right now, but should be okay
Included in the zip is flash_image and recovery-cwm-test.img
place both on your sdcard.
"This Step requires the Android SDK and ADB"
On your pc run:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-cwm-test.img
Make install sure you have a backup of the stock recovery and make sure there is no install-recovery.sh file or recovery-from-boot.sh in /system/ect (on your device)
if there is, run
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/ect/name_of_recovery.sh file /system/ect/name_of_recovery.sh.bak
once that is sorted out
Code:
exit
adb reboot recovery
When you're in recovery, make sure adb works with adb devices and adb shell. Also test usb mount and cache wipe.

I might be getting one of these soon for free and was disappointed to find that there is no support/ROMs for it. If you're still up for ideas, could you simply do a debloated version of the original to start? Maybe some better software/tweaks in the future?
I will help the enlighten community if i get the system dump because i need it for another project
Theres a few of us from another group that would help out

Well I'm new to smartphones in general (getting my first one for an upgrade soon, not sure what I'm going to pick yet) and I like the Enlighten cause it's free and it has a physical keyboard, and I've been reading a ton of stuff on these forums and it's pretty interesting. How would I go about getting the system dump? Is it simple or not really for a novice?
Not exactly novice yet. I would stay away from anything that involves (rooting) your device after a couple months of use with android and your phone.

We keep everyone posted at phandroid. Since thats were we originate. Well be happy to post it over if yah give us a hollor over there. In the (enlighten all things root) section.

So now that we have root, what is the next step? I am not a Dev, so I'm wondering, someone has to take the system dump, deodex the files? Then, build the custom files that will allow/create the customizations? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, just wondering how far off we are from a custom ROM or at least the ability to run some of the customizations found in say ROM toolbox?
I guess we have to hope that some awesome devs get the Razr.
I will build a rom, but I am not doing anything until a SBF/FXZ file appears that I can restore my phone easily during the testing phase.
Edit: Also WRONG SECTION

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

I'm pretty sure this issue has been fixed, besides when you want to whipe something it's best to do whipe cache or data or whatever else your whipping at least 2 times just to be on the safe side.

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.
