In the process of pushing AOSP I have compiled myself, I seem to have removed the previous image I have TWRP, but no backed up image. I do have a system.img that I built myself, and a ziped version of it. What are my options? Is there some way I can use Odion to push an image to the phone? Do I need to make a different version of my image?

It is rooted (in order to restore some apps with Titanium). Looks like this prevents OTA updates. Not important for this one, but I don't want to be stuck with this build forever.
1) This is for a Canadian (Bell) 4G. I couldn't locate the exact ROM anywhere. What do you suggest? (could I try to flash the European ROM? If this fails, will I be able to restore my current ROM -- I have a nAndroid -- from CWM?)
2) I do not have easy access to Windows machines. Can I simply put the .img files in a zipped folder (e.g. update.zip) and use ROM Manager to push the ROM?
Thanks
I see this has been asked several times. Yet they all seem related to a small package of APKs or the answer is "unzip someone else's and replace what you need".
I have successfully compiled android for nexus 7 and I am able to use fastboot to flash the device. What I would like to be able to do is create an update.zip that can be flashed.
The situation is we have a few hundred Nexus 7s we need to flash and want to simplify the process as much as possible. If could package an update.zip and flash it via fastboot that would be handy as well. Our current setup is to distribute a zip of the out dir from the android build and use a quick script to automate fastboot flashing.
Even if it doesn't really help our situation. How does one go from a compiled android os with the *.img files to an update.zip that can flash the entire device.

Did you build from source? If so just type this command:
Code:
make otapackage

Thanks! I tried autocomplete on the source Makefile to see all the possible targets. Well it appears there are so many autocomplete chokes and never returns.
Thanks again.
Hello everyone.
Guys, I am interested in turn the stock rom of my phone in a ready-to-install rom. I mean, roms usually are .zip files with scripts that writes the customized files to the system file, overwriting the old files. I want to know how to take the stock rom of my phone and turn it in a intallable .zip file, like a customized rom.
After a normal installing the phone would be like the phone with the original rom, without changes. Do you know what I mean?
I am interested in this for make changes and costumizations in the stock rom for then reinstall it. Normally, rom porting is made by taking a compatible rom (like CM) and taking the wished to port rom and changing directories like /system, /data, etc... Am I right? Well, if a would take the original rom of my phone and would turn it in a installable .zip, I could make ports, right?
Well, this is my doubt, how can I do this?
Up.
What's wrong? No one cares about?
Noob reporting here !
You can start by installing ADB (from android sdk).
When you have ADB correctly installed , you can "rip" your phone's complete /system partition by using the "adb pull /system system/" command.
This will rip /system to a subfolder called "system" (example c:/adb/adb.exe -> c:/adb/system)
I haven't come further myself, as i`m also in the learning (reading) phase.
you can use dsixda's kitchen for that, just use a firmware file for your phone, and extract that using the kitchen, after that you can use it to make a zip file
I am looking for ways that i can capture an android rom (.img file) and restore it to other same devices by using Rockchip Batch Tool 1.7
Here is my situation:
We have lot of android devices need to be deployed (MK 902). The original rom was 4.2 and I use Rockchip Batch Tool 1.7 to reload a rooted 4.4.2 img file. then I installed some APPs we needed. I dont want to go through app installation on all devices. So I am looking for a way that i can capture the img file after all APPs installed, then later on i can only use that Rockchip Tool to restore my img into rest of devices, just like Windows image restore.
I did some researches but didnot find any easy way to do so. looks like i have to unpack the image, modify it then repack it again. ....... I dont know how to modify the img file so i am looking for an easy way to do this.
Anyone knows any App or easy way?
How to flash only stock recovery? how to convert "recovery.img.lz4" to "recovery.tar"
Hi all,
I am fairly newb in installing custom ROMs, so apologies if Im misusing any terms. Some time ago I wanted to move a priv-app to system-app, without rooting. I managed to flash TWRP on my Samsung S8 G-950F, and from there moved private app to system app.
Now I would like to go back to the stock recovery img, but I don't know how or if it's even possible. The reason behind this is that my company is deploying Android Work Profile and it is detecting the custom ROM (I assume it is specifically detecting the custom recovery partition)
I tried to find the respective recovery.img for my current stock ROM, but was unable to find it. I can only find for older versions, and from what I read, you can't install older recovery with newer ROM
I can only find the full stock ROM, in .tar.md5 format. opening this with 7zip, I can see the recovery.img.lz4
How do I flash this without altering the OS partition?
Thank you in advance,
Rhaswar
@Rhaswar
Look inside here.
thank you @jwoegerbauer, I have seen this article and it mentions a file called recovery.tar
I don't have that, what I have is the recovery.img.lz4
Is there a conversion that can be done?
Thank you
@Rhaswar
