[HELP]Dsixdas Kitchen and Galaxy Mini - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PS: I managed to extract the system.rfs file and the boot.img to the Working folder in the Kitchen.But i dont know about this,if i repack the room it wont boot and i think i know where is the problem but i need some expert point of view.When you tap: 1 and S in the kitchens menu it shows the format for each ROM.I didnt find system.rfs and boot.img as an allowed format so i decided to rename my system.rfs in system.img...when i done that the kitchen loaded my ROM.Then i made a backup copy of my system.rfs extract it with magic iso and clicked the next step on the kitchen extracting progress.Then i restarted the application and clicked the option 99 for repacking...i selected the 1 option then,i taped NO at zipaligning,i signed and renamed my ROM.The rom was created,then i copyed it on my SD.In CWD i selected install zip from SD,the process failed it gave me an error similar to : your updater script is...bla bla.I reentered the kitchen,i selected YES to convert my updated script the rest of the options were like above,copyed the ROM to my SD when i clicked yes to install id gave me an error about the boot.img.Now im thinking that by renameing my system.rfs into .img made a corruption on system folder tree and META-INF , because system.img is specific to HTC.your advice guys?what i did wrong?

Use Magic ISO to open and extract the files.

[Q] how to unpack tar.md5 ?

Hi,
I downloaded a ROM from sammobile.com for my galaxy tab 10.1, and all I want is system.img which is located in a tar.md5 file .
if I extract is with 7zip I get a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
and dsixda kitchen don't seem to recognize it .
any ideas please .
thanks.
Well its simple just rename it to .tar and use winrar to extract it. the md5 extension makes odin calculate a hash to check if the firmware you're flashing is not corrupted.
hi,
I did that and I got a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
the files are extracted but I think it is corrupted because dsixda kitchen can't read it.
just extract it by 7-Zip and don't care about message
I have this problem too, my 7-zpi say that can´t open file format unknowed or damage.
your download maybe interupted, try download it again and do md5 checksum

You might be opening the wrong file.
You have to download 2 files:
xxxx.tar
xxxx.tar.md5
the first one is the one you have to open.
the second one is the one that only have the MD5 result of the first.

Redownlaod and try to unzip again. Kitchen should open it, make sure u have kitchen scripts for your phone or edit from flashable zip. Afaik
best idea
dont use 7zip but use unoversal extractor. it will extract everything.
I have the same issue for 5301. I have to get either the recovery or system img for creating a custom rom. Usually samsung firmware files can be extracted using izarc, 7zip or universal extract tool. some can be opened with ultraISO or similar tool. I tried dsixdas kitchen as well. That does not even acknowledge this ROM. These firmwares come as a single tar file with md5 sum attached. There is something different about this ROM file that wont even let let the regular tools see what is inside the file. I tried to open it with a hex editor and it looks similar what a regular tar.md5 file would look. Looking at the log file from universal extractor:

99.3% (.TAR) TAR archive (149/5)
0.6% (.LZMA) LZMA compressed file (1/1)
7-Zip Tar archive extractions cannot be logged.
If Odin can flash these files using the same boot, recovery and system... images then there must be a way to extract these img files. wonder if odin extracts to a temp location?

Use odinatrix to extrat system.img n modem files..
Its the easiest tool do so...
U may also use splitfus2 bt its way trickier to use than odinatrix.

Now there is only one xxx_home.tar.md5 file..
That was old days.
Be a part of new world.
N now u cnt extract through an archve manager.
U need espicial tools like splitfus2 n odinatrix to extract files.

Thanks SArnab! so finally I am able to split the files using odinatrix. Now for this type of turbo ROMs how do I create odin flashable file???
I created a regular odin tar file with md5 sum but that does not go past 'NAND Write Start'. Please advise.

Your pc shud b superfast so that odintrix can work witout lag.
My HP G6 lapi took around 10 mins to extrqct the one .tar.md5 file..
The tool will automatically extract diffrnt .tar files such as modem_xxx.tar pda_xxx.tar n csc_xxx.tar
Now u can use these to flash through odin witout any prb.
U can use pda.tar in kitchen to get boot.img n system.img.
Kitchen will also help u extract sysmtem foldr from system.img.
U can also flash through odin the single .tar.md5....
Choose that in pda field...
Odin is smart enough to do rest of the part.
Don't be lazy.

Appreciate the quick response. I guess my question was not clear enough. I extracted the recovery and created a clockwork recovery named recovery.img. Now I want to flash this recovery back on the device. I created the tar file using:
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > CWMrecovery.tar
md5sum -t CWMrecovery.tar >> CWMrecovery.tar
mv CWMrecovery.tar CWMrecovery.tar.md5
When I flash this using odin3_v3.07 md5 is verified but he flash does not go through and stops at NAND write start. Is there a special way to create a odin flashable tar.md5 file foe these turbo firmwares?

Modifying stock rom

I am very interested in ROM developing, the problem is i am a beginner. I tried to look for some guides, but they are quite hard to find to be honest. If i would want to modify stock rom what should i do? Although i could not find it i thought this could be an option:
- flash stockrom through odin
- modify stockrom
- make backup and copy system.img
- in a flashable zip you have the system directory, but how do you obtain this directory from system.img, what program do i need? Simple mounting program poweriso didn't recognize the image. I thought it might be possible to directly extract the required files from the odin package, but not find a guide for this?

dsiXDA kitchen should be used only to zip-align, deodex and repack everything to flashable zip. It isnt really good at extracting .img files (personal opinion).
Read ketut's blackhawk rom's 2nd post for more info about dsiXDA kitchen

Probably a dump question, but when i extract the md5 file i obtained only a boot.img file and a recovery.img file, system.rfs file and some other files. Where is the system.img file located? I can't load the .img files with magic iso.

Open magicISO. Click on open -> navigate to system.rfs. It will load up all folders inside system.rfs. Select all -> right click -> extract all

Converting img files to clockworkmod zips

Hi,
The company Ainol release their latest updates as img files which we than have to flash using a program called livesuit. Does anyone know the process (or have any tips) on converting these img files to clockworkmod zip files?
I can extract the system and kernel files using something similar to this tutorial: http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?topic=1679.0
That tutorial explains how to modify the img file and then repack as img. I tried moving the system directory and the kernel & ramdisk over into a clockworkmod zip that i know works and overwrote the files in that with the one i had extracted.
when i try to install it, i get the e: cant open cwmzip.zip
(bad)
any ideas? Maybe i need to get the updater binary from the extracted files somehow?

It really all depends, how many images? What are the images called? What are in each of the images if there is more then one?
thanks for replying, i think i have it right. I ran a log and saw that there was an invalid filename in my zip and sure enough, i looked in the app folder and saw a file with a lot of chinese characters. Deleting this file has sorted this problem
Thanks for replying anyways!

[Q] Files in a nandroid back up

Ive done a backup on my phone and created a flashable zip (update.zip)
Now im playing around with dsixda's kitchen and trying to extract the system.tar, however it fails most likely due to fact the the system.tar is empty
the files in the archive are as follows
Meta-inf -- <folder>
boot.img -- <8192KB>
image-edify -- <1KB>
system.ext4.tar -- <0KB>
system.ext4.tar.a -- <976,563KB>
system.ext4.tar.b -- <68,151KB>
By the looks of things it has split the system.ext4.tar because its over a gig
How can i compile this into one file or one image so that the kitchen can read it, I'm on a windows 7 PC but i can run linux in a vbox if necessary.
Thanks
Try using the zip file in your input folder.
dsixda's kitchen should be able to extract from it

Already tried, it comes back saying its deleting the part a and part b files and then says the system.ext4.tar isnt a valid archive.
Is it a stock rom?
If so, download the firmware from sammobile and put the tar.md5 file into your input folder (after removing the .md5 suffix).
Thats worked for me in the past....
It is stock, but i have removed the bloatware, installed a few mods, i was hoping to use this particular one really as a base. Ive already played around with fully stock and i kind of broke the whole thing
I'm not too sure then unless theres some tool you can find to merge the 3 tar files into 1...
Never had to do it so I'm unable to suggest anything I'm afraid.

want an easy place to start
learning
Those who just want to modify
shipped ROMs or someone
else's custom ROMs to their
liking
Those who are confused by all
those scripts and complex
commands required for
building and extracting

GUIDE
now minimize the batch file and extract official rom there you will find system.img then extract it using magic iso or flash
the official stock rom using odin the take a nandroid backup u will get system.rfs.tar in your sd card extract it using magic iso then make a folder in called rom and open it. again create a folder called system and copy all data from system.rfs.tar which u have extracted(do drag and dropping).
Now copy meta-inf of any stock rom and copy and kernel to rom folder.
Now you will get two folder and one file in your rom folder zip the folder content and copy the file where you have installed cygwin/home/ajay/kitchen/original update folder.
now open command shell which you have minimized 1st create working folder then add root permission,deodex your rom.
and at last press 99 to build your rom..
note-if it ask you to change updater script to update script change it but dont forget to change it back to updater script.now you will get your rom in output folder copy it to your sd card flash it if error occur unzip the zip file and delete meta-inf and boot.img and again copy meta-inf of any rom and kernel to it and zip it..again flash the rom..
