Virtual box - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any developer here that know a tool that can execute those ROM zip files on a PC so I just can play around on the PC without hazzling with the cellphone so much ?
PM for answer or something.:good:

try androuid_sdk_r12 windows.
you can find it online.

TY !

The Zip file from XDA-developers.com
Ok let's see if I download a ROM from here. A ZIP file where do I launch it in ANDROID SDK ? I think I downloaded android sdk r20.
Anyone help ? Is it where it says SD card size ?

Lol, its not that easy the way u think ma8
after installing the sdk u need to create an AVD( Android virtual device) either using 'Ecllipse' or by Command lines.
check the link below to understand more about the same

Thank you I will check that one out It is only to see how the different ROMS look like instead of flashing them to cellphone.

English Update Utility

Credits for finding/pointing to this solutution go to AirwolfUK.
This is also hidden somewhere in a thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread. We (G4 owners) don't need to flash all our roms in Italian language. In stead of copying all the Update Utility files just copy "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and it will stay in English.
So if you get this error on you're G4:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Just replace the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"! (I'll attach it too)
If you want to turn an already Italian installer into English replace all the files from "English Update Utility Files G4.zip".
Great! Thanks a lot for these! Hepled me a lot
Guess it should be a sticky, as not many people know where to find these things.
I've tried ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe but keep getting
"Error 208: File Open.
The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update utility".
Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?
maybe you're not with the utility and the nk.nbf in the same folder(all in the root of the folder).
Thank you so much...this just saved my otherwise bricked phone!
thx worked perfect in flashing the radio rom on my g4 to 2.19 uk!
I can't figure out how to upgrade my rom. I keep getting the dreaded Error 300.
Can somebody provide instructions on how to run this?
How?
How do I do this?
What should I replace?
Where should I put the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" file?
I just normally run the updateroom from a folder on my laptop, so where should I place "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"?
I am attemping to flash Superrom

If the rom is one exe file, unpack it first with winrar. You'll see the file afterwards.
Yes I knows it becomes a exe file after I have zipped it.
Ok here it goes:
I run a normal ROM update exe file, I get the
"ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility"
Then what shall I do with the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe " if I just run this one the message: ""Error 208: File Open."
Can someone set up a step by step guide please?
Seems you haven't upacked the rom executable. You should have multiple files afterwards (e.g. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and nk.nbf). Just replace the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe! The file error tells it can't find your nk.nbf.
Damnnnnn Vippie Rocks!!!!!!!
How to do it ..
is it just click and run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID .. and the application will do all .. or we just need to but all stuff in unpack flash ( any flash ) and install it to firmware ??
thanks allot in advanced
help still not working
I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300
Thanks Wes
Thank you men !!!
Thank you very much men, you saved my life !!!

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.
If you were to create a folder then extract the utility to that folder, then click on the extracted file, then for sure you will get the error msg.
Download first the ROM you want in a folder, All New ROMs will extract to two files. One of those files is the rom update utility file that you will need to replace with the Update Utility exe file in this post. To do this just extract the update utility tool ( posted here ) in the same folder of the downloaded and extracted ROM folder. You will then be up and running. Follow the instructions.
To follow up with my previous post, I would suggest you start with the 'Wizard_Love rom or the Button Rom as basis. This will reset your download prompts on your device to accept any Wizard compatible ROM of your choice. After the first update most likely you will not need this utility to update your favorite rom onto your device.

And even than it wouldn't brick the device. So your "no" should be "yes, you're right vippie"!
Did you notice the "developers" in the websites name? What are people doing on this forum if they don't know how to REPLACE a file. It isn't necessary to spoon-feed people.

[Tool] ROM Cooker

==ROM CooKer
I made a simple ROM Cooker in my Free Time, With this tool u can make a Recovery flashable ROM easily.
At this stage, everyone knows about Galaxy 3 system structure, so one can easily add or remove stuffs and make own ROM.
Try it, its only ~555 Kb
This Cooker is only for custome kernel with inbuilt recovery.
Before flashing Coocked ROM made by this cooker, must formate the system partition via recovery.
If u dont formate the system partition then instead of installing a fresh rom this will overwrite your previous ROM
After Flashing, must wipe cache and dalvik-cache directely from recovery
==Update ROM
( This Tool is only for Custome Kernels)
* U can Change File System (G3MOD, Astrum, KyoraKernel, FuguMOD)
* U can Update Theme
* U can Push App/lib
* U can Make factoryfs.rfs of ROM for Odin flash (Make .tar with Total Commander)
* U can Make Recovery Flashable Update.zip
How to use ROM cooker > Follow the onscreen instructions
Thanks to apollo5801 for his awesome zip creater
Lol! Free Time with capital letters :-D
Tnx anyway.

No specific tool requirements, don't know what is the problem, do again, don't delete any file from package.
When I'm trying to make rom
(option 3)
After compressing files, it says,
Everything is ok
'java' is not recognized advanced internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Now what to do?
You have to link you java path in your system settings (Environment Variables, sry dont know how is named on others languages ^^')

There are two easy ways:
1st Method
1. Install a app named ROOT MANAGER from play store (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR ROOTED DEVICE ONLY)
2. If you have already rooted, after installing that app it will ask to install a custom recovery ie. CMW (ClockworkMod Recovery)
3. Before selecting CMW, ROM manager app will ask your device model select accurately and proceed to Download CMW and install it. It will ask for a reboot
4. You are Done
2nd Method: (You must have a Computer)
1. Try to Download the zip file of CMW of your device (zip file differs for device to device, So choose carefully your model)
2. Extract that zip
3. Go to Download mode (Power+ Volume down)
4. Install Software named ODIN v1.85
5. Open Odin and Connect your device to computer.
6. Flash the extracted file using Odin.
7. Done mate :thumbup:

there is no app called root manager it is rom manager and rom manager installs cwm only for a supported no of devices so you cant have cwm with rom manager on all phones
for the question you can try mediate cwm as it is a mediate processor phone search in xda

[Q] Cant copy system folder to sd card

Hello guys!
Im trying to make my own ROM for my android device. Im following a guide from this site. The guide explain two ways to get the system folder copy to my sd card.
First of all using de Android terminal emulator, and using comands. I tried that way but it keeps telling me: SH TAR: not found
Then other way i tried from ES explorer, copying de system folder manually but at 45% of copyng pop up a error about " cant copy run -as"
I searched the web, couldnt find my exact problem, neither in the forum.
What should i do?
Thanks!:good:
