Hello,
After 2 solid weeks of trying to locate hcidump, I need to turn to this group. I've tried flashing various versions from 2.1 to 2.3, stock, custom, etc. I've even looked into compiling this from Bluez source but it's just beyond my skill level.
*** does anyone know a custom ROM that has hcidump tool in it or the binary or any otherway I get get this onto my x10? ***
Thank you very much and I'd be happy to donate to any cause or person that can help me.
found it!
Hi,
Just when I had almost given up, I found this file. You can find it in the CM7 ROM. I was able to go into the update.zip and find it under /system/xbin. I transferred it over and it seems to work.
Thanks

Can you post a link or upload the file here?
CM7 ROM
Hi,
Here's the link to the compressed file for the CM7 ROM [looks like I'm too new to post URLs, so here it is in a long way]:
www
multiupload
com
/BE5KF9LCLW
Extract it and you'll see a folder /system/xbin subdirectory is a file called hcidump. That's the only file you need. I went to a different ROM and found a file called update.zip which contained the file. But, this link should get you there.
Copy the file to the X10, set permissions to execute you're in business.
Awesome! I needed this for a droix x2 and it works!
Since the download above is a whopping 101MB I've uploaded the file here

(I cant post links either!)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Bell's gingerbread update for my Atrix but it appears I'm missing the / preinstall / app / "Gameloft_3games.zip" file. I have the bell system dump downloaded that contains all the apps and other random stuff but I cant seem to find the gameloft_3games.zip file. Can someone help me out here?? Maybe share their file with me or maybe tell me what the zip contains so I can try and build a new one?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, I've tried OTA and offline install, also tried modding the update zip to remove the gameloft_3games.zip, but the file is signed and the verify fails...
apk files
I tried creating a zip file and inside of it, I put the apks of the 3 demo gameloft games that came stock with the phone. It didn't work, So I tried making another zip and I dumped every single file in it from the / app folder renaming it to gameloft_3games.zip and that never worked either. So theirs obviously some other kind of files in there that we need...
exact same problem someone please help!
edit: you guys found a solution yet? i've been told on other forums that i think it is the rooting method we used that removed that gameloft file.. i think apparently ATT phones don't need that file or something..so i'm trying to figure out how to get that file back now..
If you do some searching for gameloft_3dgames.zip you'll find a zip of the stock 2.2.2 files available for download. I was able to push the gameloft_3dgames.zip to /data/local/tmp/, remount /preinstall/ read/write, copy it in there, set permissions to 644, remount read-only, reboot, and then apply the update successfully.
Good luck!
Here's the post with further instructions and a link to the files:

I want to use the android kitchen to turn our recently leaked ICS update into a rom. On Dsixda's thread, he states that we need to create a file in the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder with the properties of our phone, in the templates file, it is kind of unclear for me how to do this.
Can anyone help me create a file for the HTC Amaze 4G? Thanks

Sorry if I am reviving a not quite old thread, but it came up when I was searching for the kitchen to download on my new windows install..
If you want to create a rom you don't really need the kitchen, it can do certain things to a rom- deodex, zipalign, install superuser and busybox, etc.. but within a few days of the leak all of that is available. You can pm a developer as I did and get permission to use their files rather than recreate the wheel.
First, just run the zip file thru the kitchen, don't do anything special with it- we have a superuser zip file you can/should just unpack into the final setup.
Find the updater-script and the binaries(in the same folder), this is what tells it what to install and where, fix permissions, install the files needed for SU(look in the superuser zip files updater script for details) etc..
If you want a deodexed rom you can ask to borrow the system/app directory from a rom that already has deodexed theirs. Literally, this is the best way to do it.
What the kitchen IS better for is pulling apart the kernel, putting it back together, unpacking apks.. it has built in scripts which can be a real time saver than typing in backsmali this, smali that-- simply put a file in a folder, type a number, and magically it all happens for you.. but you won't need ANY of that until you get into the advanced stuff.
I don't know if you were still trying to figure it out or not, but at the very least this may give someone who happened across this thread SOME sort of answer-- I get sick of finding more unanswered posts or posts where people reply with "you should search".. I've searched so much I my fingers should be bleeding.
I have the .zip file from the GingerBread Battery Fix v0.8 thread that I downloaded to my computer on 1/21/12. What were the original instructions to use the file? I have a replacement X2 with 2.3.5 and I need to fix the battery issue.
LINK to thread.
Thanks.
Aren't the instructions by Lorenzo on the last page of that thread what you're looking for? The zip doesn't work via CWM so you'll have to use something like File Expert to place them in those locations manually and set permissions. You'll want to use the ones in there from 2.3.3 if I remember correctly. Those are the ones in the system folder, not the backup 2.3.5 folder.

not sure if your problem was solved, but as of now, you cant really just flash the zip. you have to open the zip, get the lib and bin files, and put them in their respective plkaces using a file explorer. in the same thread you linked, it has the folders that these need to be in. if on 2.3.5, why not just flash eclipse? stock just sounds yuck.
I thought that I flashed it on my old phone, which was running 2.3.4. Will flashing not work with 2.3.5?
I'll probably give Eclipse a shot, but I rely on BT, wifi, GPS, various mapping programs, camera, and video camera, and I'm hoping those things run well on it. From what I've read, GPS might not work quite as well as I need it to.
I'm trying to find the time after work to study up on this stuff and start trying some different things out. Roms, the V8 or V6 speed packages, etc. I'm hoping to find something I'll be happy with.
Thanks for the help.

Hi guys im a noob to the forums and to rom customisation in general so im hoping someone can help me.
I have a generic MX dual core, and have been supplied a flash firmware and image from the supplier. This image is basic and does not contain all of the repos that i want, nor the apps that I require.
The image supplied is a zipfile and contains:
factory_update_param.aml
hd18d_mx4.zip
recovery.img
I am able to successfully restore my box with this image (so I know that the image is working fine).
Within the hd18d_mx4.zip there is:
Directotories: data, META-INF, recovery, system
files: boot.img, bootloaded.img, logo.img
I can see the all the system APK files within the system/app folder. The problem is when i try to add another APK file into this directory within the archive (in this case videomix.apk), I am not able to restore the image to the MX device.
Can anyone help me with a noobies guide to do this. I have read that the apk file has to be signed, and the zip file has to be signed also?? But im not quite sure what this means, nor how I go about doing it.
Any help or tutorials will be much appreciate. I have downloaded the APK-multi-tool but dont have a clue what I need to do
Look forward to your replies.
P.S. Im using a windows 64 bit machine and not Linux (if that makes any difference).
I'm facing the same thing, did you end up having luck with this?
If not is there anyone that can assist?
Evening Everyone,
I am attempting to roll my own android version from this base and following instructions from this guide. I did the instructions from the base and installed the stock version just fine. I run linux at home and I didn't need to unpack the system.img.ext4 file, just mounted it and was able to edit. There wasn't a system/apps folder in the image, but there was app/ and it looked like that was where the core apks were stored.
I removed samsung junk, unmounted the image, zipped it back up with all the other files that came with the original zip from the link. When I go to install (TWRP) I get the error:: could not find 'meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file :: but when I open the zip file it is definitely there. Is there a config file I need to edit also?
Trying to remove the bloatware on my own and will add my own prefered apps once I can get this down. I haven't decided if I want to also remove the google apps and only install a very light weight version. Eventually I might try rom editing, but not sure how deep I want to go down the rabbit hole. Trying to install Marshmallow on sprint galaxy s5. TWRP version is 3.0.2-1
Any help to get me started is greatly appreciated!!

Nevermind. I am an idiot and the whole structure was one layer too deep. Zip->folder->files instead of Zip->files.
