[Q] dsixda Kitchen Error: No system folder found! in all ROMs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

English: Well, first of all my most sincere and cordial greetings, is my first post in this area and because I am a SUPER noob on the subject of cooking ROMs.
I want to start with something simple this world, to warm things up and learning step by step.
I want to take the last NB Desire CyanogenMod 7 for the GSM (bravo) and do some basic modifications (but to my taste), the ROM will end this for me. For this I dsixda download the kitchen, put the ROM in question in the "original_update" I ran. / Menu from the console and select the first option "Set up working folder from ROM".
To my surprise I found this error message: Error: No system folder found!
I saw very strange thing, since the ROM if you have (obviously) the system folder, plus try different ROMs and happens exactly the same.
Anyone know where my error? I'm using the 0186 version of the kitchen. Thank you.
Excuse my bad, bad English.

Español: Bien, primero que nada mis mas sinceros y cordiales saludos, es mi primer post en esta area y pues soy un novato en el tema de cocinar ROMs.
Quiero comenzar este mundo con algo sencillo, para ir calentando y aprendiendo paso a paso.
Deseo tomar la ultima NB de CyanogenMod 7 para el Desire GSM (bravo) y hacerle algunas modificaciones básicas (pero a mi gusto), a la final esta ROM sera para mi. Para ello me descargue la cocina de dsixda, coloque la ROM en cuestión en la carpeta "original_update", corrí ./menu desde la consola y seleccione la primera opción "Set up working folder from ROM".
Para mi sorpresa encontré este mensaje de error: Error: No system folder found!
Cosa que vi muy extraña, puesto que la ROM si tiene (obviamente) la carpeta system, ademas probé con otras ROMs y sucede exactamente lo mismo.
Alguien sabe donde esta mi error? Estoy usando la versión 0.186 de la cocina. Gracias.
Disculpen mi MAL, MAL ingles.

It did not work for me, still giving me the same error even with system.zip folder you create.
As if it matters, I am using Linux Mint - debian edition. The strange thing is that I had used before to test the kitchen ROMs MotoDext things, but now does not work (it was another older versions).

It is with all the ROMs I've tried, maybe it's my PC problem then. Using Linux Mint, Debian edition. I have the latest version of Java installed.

How to fix? They had previously used this kitchen but from the Debian distribution and worked well, I understand that now.

Well if the problem was caused by your computer accidentally the whole thing, then you should be able to accidentally the whole thing as well. Two negatives make a positive right?

Zip and unzip applications were not installed on my OS. Install these 2 and presto, everything works.

The error messages in the kitchem would have told you that unzip was not found.

I never said it lacked the unzip function, but by using one of the plugins (I forget which) that required the zip function if I said that was needed and there I realized.

i had the exact same issue with PcLinuxOs mini me version.
At first the issue was "no system folder found" fot that i manually put the system folder files in working folder. but then while trying to compress back ( build a update.zip) kitchen popped up this msg
error like 177 on some_script
i went and opened up the script looked for line 177 what its trying to do .. then i knew zip was not installed in the system. installed it and now its working fine.
but still not able to port any rom. am very new with all these things but i have to say .. this Dsixda 's Kitchen is really a great program to start with. and learn more .
@Dsixda sir
sometimes if try to open up system.img.ext4 files (huawei u9000 x6 ) folders like app,usr etc will be currupted and look like files only.

Your steps are correct. Make sure that you have 7zip installed on your computer. I would recommend you to re-install Cygwin and android kitchen and use the latest version of it.
If re-installing doesn't work, just unzip your Rom using 7zip and copy the boot.img and system folder to your Working folder. :good:
Hit thanks if this helped. PM me if you need further help, or just search the forum.
