Open original rom with WinRAR or 7zip, overwrite the boot.img file with the kernel you want to add, flash the rom.

Abhi,
is this what you referring to?
Use NANDROID backup instead of FTF. Cooking ROM from FTF is very lengthy procedure.

Copy "System.yaffs2.img" file from your memory card CWM backup folder to your PC local drive and extract it using "unyaffs.exe" for that give command "unyaffs system.yaffs2.img". It will extract your system folders and files. After extracting complete delete "lost-found" and "sd" folder if present.

Thanks i did that already ..but kitchen needs system.img file ?? how to get that ?? I dont want to extract ..but find system.img
Use the system.img from a nandroid back up is easiest way to start. Just copy to working directory from SD card

Arey yaar why you need system.img! Create new folder in kitchen and give it name as WORKING_XXX and put these system folders and files which you have extracted from system.yaffs2.img and also put the META-INF folder and Kernel (boot.img) in your WORKING_XXX folder. After that start DSIXDA kitchen and change the updater-script into update-script. Now you can able to modify your ROM as you want. After your modification complete change the update-script to updater-script. Go to META-INF folder and edit updater-script and remove following line :
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

Now select 99 build your ROM. Thats it!

Hy thnks for idea i build rom for core 2 but i cant find any custom rom for this device
I have the stock rom how to get the META-INF
Thanks <3
If you have a boot.img and system.img I'm pretty sure they would need to be extracted to make a flashable zip. Just throw them in a kitchen. If you don't have linux try Ricky kitchen or someone has modded dsixda kitchen and called it cygwin kitchen, meaning you don't have to install a virtual box. Ricky is windows based anyway

[Q] Roms structure

Hello!
Can someone explain to me what differences are between these roms? (see attachements):
I have MT6755 device and it's stock ROM has inside a boot.img, system.new.dat, system.patch, META-INF, etc..
And then I found a device which ROM has inside just boot.img, META-INF and system folder.
What's the difference?
If I want to port a custom rom, does my device need to have in a custom rom these files(system.new.dat, system.patch...) too, or can I use a "structure" of the ROM zip with just boot.img and system?
As far as i know You just need only System,boot.img and meta-inf also data if you wish to add an app as user

So if I want to port a ROM from device that has (system.new.dat, etc..), I need only to extract system.new.dat to get system folder and just use it?
