[Q] i9300 error when trying to flash Kitchen-created ROM - Android

Hi XDA,
I'm using dsixda's Kitchen, trying to edit a stock rom (LFB-i9300).
I got everything extracted, but I had to remove the .md5 extension of the stock rom and I had to rename system.img to factoryfs.img, else Kitchen wouldn't recognize the rom. I think something went wrong in this process of getting the rom recognized. I loaded the rom and I chose to add in root, busybox and I de-odexed the files (I chose Api level 14, this is the right one for 4.0.4, right?).
Then I build the rom, zipaligned and signed it and then I moved the zip to my i9300. Then I get this error when I'm trying to flash the rom:
*Installing update...*
E:Error in /emmc/m0_signed_071212_225202.zip (Status 0)
*Installation aborted.*
I know the i9300 isn't officially supported but I was told Kitchen would also work with the i9300.
Btw, when extracting factoryfs.img and the file for CSC, Kitchen said something about crc32 problems, it expected something different than it calculated.
I hope someone could help me solve this problem.
Regards,
dejong12

did you check updater-script file?

Yup, I checked it, but no errors were returned and I couldn't anything in the file itself.

can you post updater-script file and the original update-script file please using pastebin

Here are update_script and updater_script.

I read I need an edify file, but does anyone have that premade? I don't know the mount points etc.

Flash rom again.. after getting the error, go to advanced>report error..
Then reboot your device... you will find a recovery.log file in clockworkmod directory of your sdcard...
There you can spot the error...

well then u have to manually check every file of the update.zip in /system/bin & /system/xbin to verify that there are no files with same name as the new symbolic links that are being created...
View attachment META-INF.rar
here is one to compare and remember to use notepad++ to edit, not regular notepad
if you get a can't symlink error
that means the file is still in the folder
when that happens you can do one of two things.. on delete the line from update script
or two... the one I prefer... delete the file from the actuall rom folder
ex.. cannot symlink ifconfig
I would go to bin and delete ifconfig
another tip is once the rom starts installing you will want to install another rom that is working... the farther you get in the installation the better the chances are you messed up it going into recovery... then you can be sure that after the error you reboot into recovery.. this has saved me many times of having to reflash the whole bb with flashtool wich takes a lot longer than a recovery restore

Update binary error while flashing

Hi guys, i created my first own rom but while flashing it with TWRP 2.5 i get error "Error executing update binary in the zip"
So is there any solution?
First see you are properly rooted by using root checker.
Also it may be the problem of TWRP . Try flashing it through cwm.

In between of updater script try to print some texts at various places to identify the reason and then you can work to resolve the error. It will give you a hint of the problem Happy porting.

Grab another rom that is the same base you are using and look at the META-INF/com/google/android folder which contains the updater script and binary to use as your reference points. Compare and contrast yours with that one.

Sorry, that was my main idea. Are you getting the same error code? Did you unzip and re-zip the rom? If so, you should use an archive manager like 7zip to move the update script into the zip without needing to unzip the whole thing, otherwise you'll break the signature on the rom and have to re-sign it.

Not all phones have adb access while in a bootloop. But to do so you would need adb set up on your computer, change directories to the adb folder (or if it's enabled globally, then where ever), and type:
adb logcat
You'll want to save it somewhere like:
http://pastebin.com/
and upload the link.
I am not skilled at reading logcats, so not sure if I can be of any more help after that.
If you don't have adb set up already, then just use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

The firmware works, but two things are proving to be very difficult.

two, and this is a big one
rooting it..
working on it
edit: super SU 1.9.4 zip from chainfire worked. No other method works though, the superuser apk will install but the binary doesn't stick
edit 2: successfully extracted the system image
notes
hey,
if the update with the t211 was any indication, be sure to only write boot.img and system.img
i am making a flashable zip and will post after i get it right and debloated and get the script correct.
realistically, sometime tomorrow, will update.
@Restl3ss okay so iam laughing at myself right now becuase i can not get the damned thing to write. i don't use windows
so no odin. i have tried dd writing the images but on boot i hang at logo and with no adb i can't get a visual on the problem.
i have a .zip put together to do the same and get the same. i have another zip set up ota style but can't script worth a damn.
can you whip up a script and post it?
an interesting note- in /sbin is a binary file named partlink. thoughts?

@Restl3ss
okay so this is the joke
i am too poor to upload a large file to devhost. :laugh:
solution - i going to upload the otapackge for the firmware WITHOUT the system folder.
the package has the modified to unsecure boot.img and the updater script which just happens to be the
same one i am using for cm11 :laugh: :victory:
these are the instructions for converting, mounting and pulling the system image into an cwm flashable zip
to convert and mount sparse .img in terminal
simg2img system.img system.img.ext4
mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /a/directory
then nav to that directory in file browser, copy the contents of /system and insert in to package.
there is also a second step to correct issues with symlinks in vendor. drop that package into ota second
sorry for the inconvenience. it's in your folder with the patches.
but hey, i'm poor.

i'm running it right now and it seems very kitkatty
If i flash 4.4 can i still flash back to 4.2.2?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
got it system folder is properly extracted and what not, trying to deodex. About 10 apks are failing on every deodex attempt, can't figure out why. Gonna upload a 100% stock to xda anyway, deodexed + rooted will just have to come a bit later.
