But android kitchen modify the boot.img so what i should do?
There isn't a guide to do a rom with our galaxy? I think create it is a good idea.

until i copied it to my SD card and trying to flash, i will get the following messsage
assert failed: write_raw_image("tmp/boot.img","boot")

The same problem happened on the myTouch 4G but works with this:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22");
Let us know if it works...
You can send the "update-script" to me,then let me give a look.

Maybe it is this:"write_raw_image tmp/boot.img boot"

No .... that is wrong syntax. Won't even work in an update-script. For the Incredible S you need an updater-script (not update-script). Commands are followed by parentheses, with each parameter followed by a comma, and then a semi-colon at the very end. Run the kitchen on your ROM to get the proper syntax.
Anyways, nothing can be done at this point unless the original poster provides more detail, like at least posting his updater-script.
I'm no developer but I believe it should be write_raw_image BOOT:boot.img
Correct me if I'm wrong

That's correct syntax, but it doesn't work on newer htc devices because of the new filesystem formats. Boot.img has to be copied to /tmp folder before it can be flashed to device. You have to use updater-script to accomplish that.

in my updater-script for Incredible S.

For us that know little can you elaborate and what that means exactly?
Per your previous answer I tried using an updater based on other devs work and I still get the same error on my g2.
I just wanted to add that I do run the error check and it says the update binary fine. No errors.

Update-binary is not the update-script.
The update-binary file is supposed to be included with the updater-script and contains all the command implementations that are used in the script... however there are three main types of update-binary and you have to know which one to include. They are mostly differentiated by the number of parameters supported for the 'mount' command for your updater-script.
All I the roms I have made have both the update and updater scripts included. That's why I'm stumped. I am using the leaked gb rom for g2. Oh well. Thank you for everything.
I'm gonna try to do and root the boot.img myself. Decompile and compile.

On your G2 you should have only an update-script in the ROM, or else the two other files (updater-script and update-binary), not both at the same time. The updater-script is a more advanced script than the update-script yet very similar.
The new versions of ClockworkMod only support the updater-script + update-binary however.

This is why the roms have both. I have not come across a single htc vision rom that only has an update-binary in it. They all have both
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Update.
I just wanted to add that I have tried countless times to make a rom. I check that update script has no error and still I get the same error.
The weird thing is if I use a custom rom from one of the devs that does boot and I use the kitchen to go from edify to amend and then try to
convert it back later after I have made changes using the kitchen it wont boot and results in same write error.
Has anyone been able to make a bootable vision rom using the kitchen? If you have can you tell me where I can look or can you give me some answers. Yes I have checked google. No luck. Thanks
Im almost ready to give up.
I did make one rom that booted up and worked fine. Except when i went thru the steps to make the zip I removed the updater-script and update-binary created by the kitchen and replaced them with the udpater-script and update binary from one of the dev roms I use. This is the only way I have gotten a rom to flash and boot.
Just a thought. I know you said the htc vision is supported but would adding an edify_def for it help solve the problem?

CWM Error (Status 0) when flashing customized ROM

I have been cooking a customized ICS ROM using dsixda's kitchen and all I done was deodex the ROM and add some other stuff like bash, nano etc. I then built and signed it. When I attempt to flash it tells me there is an error in the .zip file and displays (status 0). I am guessing I have done something wrong when building the ROM in dsixda's kitchen.
Does anyone know what a status 0 error means in CWM and how I can fix it?

Status 0 means that you have a wrong script.Put a correct script in "/META-INF/com/google/android" floder in your rom.

I use dsxda and when i build the rom i use updater script, the ROM was coocked by 0, from system folder and boot.img, any solutions?
The update-binary for mtd type phones from dsixda kitchen no longer run on some new mtd phones. You may try to replace the update binary with other update binary and modify the scripts to mount using busybox and the format partition command should be removed and do the format from cwmr menu.
I´ve got update-binary, update-binary.orig, updater-script, updater-script.orig and update-script
What should i do to fix the status 0 error?

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

[Q] Aroma Installer

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up Aroma Installer for my own Custom ROM. When I try to flash the ROM, it shows all but when i had nearly finished it let me choose Installation Demo and other options. This will flash the ROM or it will show me what will happen without flashing it?
If it is only a demostration, what I have to do to flash the ROM definetly?
Thank you!!!

By the looks of it, it's just a demo
To flash a ROM, go to its thread, download it(it won't be 5 mb, it would be probably bigger than 100 mb or around it) and follow the instructions on how to flash it.

Then you need to modify Aroma-Config (Uses C as language) and updater-script to make the package behave as you want.
If you don't want options in Aroma, just a simple installer of ROM

No problem, just busy right now so sorry if it takes a bit to answer.
Right now all you did was swap updater scripts, you need to edit your aroma-config to have it select what you want.
If you need some help with it I'll be home in maybe 5hours and can lend a hand then, in the meantime take a look at some of my (or others) aroma packaged and see how they matched aromaconfigs to updater scripts

Can you tell me how you did it?
Now, how I can put different options? For example, if someone installs my ROM I would like them to choose what kernel or app they want to install or not. How can I do that and where I must place the .apk files (for the apps) or the .zip files (for the kernels)?

all i did was fix aroma, you need to put the files in the proper place, as in open root folder, there should be two inside (more if needed for other purposes) meta-inf and system, put all rom info organized properly in system and then flash
you can always save aroma logs if you have questions
and yes i can help you add kernel choices and such but i need to know what all options you need or want

You shouldn't have to edit any script, just take your system folder and meta-inf (and anything else needed) zip them up and sign, when you flash in aroma be sure to save logs so you can check it later for errors

Hey thanks but ive tried that kitchen before and no luck
i figure the problem is
caused because the boot.img 's are not of standard type and do not have the standard ANDROID header therefore that kitchen wouldnt work
Okay, unpackbootimg crashes trying to unpack the boot.img from FXP204-cm-9-20130126-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat because it has the wrong "magic" at the top. trevd pointed this out as a definite incompatibility for some devices a couple pages back. Trying trevd's split_img from the first page, it actually reports the "Wrong magic" error and shows that the file has an ELF header not an ANDROID!. Opening in HxD shows that there is no ANDROID! header later on as with some HTC devices, so ELF is the only header, and we're basically dealing with a different, unsupported filetype here. On the upside, there is no real gap in the data, so there might not be a ramdisk packed with it anyway.

These are the linux alternatives they may or may not work based on what you said but might as well give them a try.
