It is possible. Unzip. Mod some things. Zip it back. Sign it and flash!

Of course you can, but it is dangerous to modify firmware files cuz you do it wrong you might end up in a brick.

Ill try that thankyou!

Not sure what you mean. I unzipped and it's a boot.img and a txt file.

Its a compressed zip I made on my phone. hboot will not read it if its compressed. I need Windows to just add the files to a uncompressed zip container. Aka just storage no compression.
I'm all set now. Thanks anyways. Mods close this thread. Or let it be buried.

I already downloaded the link your posted but it is a zip file. Is there some way to rename this or can it be flashed as is with Odin?

Use the zip from an already working rom and then make the changes in the updater-script..if you want i can send over my meta-inf folder

Yeah that would help. I've created my own update script but when I zip it all up how it should look compared to everyone else's rom it just fails when flashing saying bad.

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log

Zoot1, Your META-INF consists of only the com folder.
Are the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files neccesary?

Have you solved this issue?
Last time I had this same problem when flashing MIUI on Galaxy Note, it fried the motherboard and I just got it fixed.
All the best
