[SOLVED]
Is there a tool/tutorial which explain how to build a custom rom in the form of .img file (system.img) and not zip file for phone which don't have custom recovery ?
I saw a lot of kitchen which build zip but not a single one which build .img file with proper permission/ownership/selinux label.
The same for tutorial...
Thanks.
[SOLVED]
I see... when it's about zip file for kiddo on samsung phone, there is people.
When it's about real stuff, there is nobody anymore.

ext2simg may be usefull or not according the implementation of ext4 in android... --> Test needed.
Before flashing, make a dump file [dd] of current fs and convert it with ext2simg. Flash it back with fastboot if things go wrong. [Tested]
Udate
I was able to flash a personnal remix os custom rom, rooted with init.d support [the init.rc hook] and busybox preinstalled [but need to be finaized in android].
ext2simg is a necessity since fastboot doesn't support native ext4 format.

Basically what I want to do is take the FRX07 bundle.zip and simply replace that system.ext2 with the one from this build (That's a direct link to the .rar file, btw).
The Sense build comes in system.sqsh form and I have already managed to convert that into a working system.ext2.
My dilemma comes in here.. I need help determining which files I need to replace/modify in the initrd.gz/rootfs/system folder/etc. in order to boot this build with the most current features of FRX07 (rootfs and whatnot).
I have some experience with modifying initrd.gz and rootfs images, but I'm still extremely noobish in the sense that I don't know exactly which coding I must change to get the desired effect.
I appreciate any helpful insight in advance!
EDIT: Also, it would be VERY helpful if someone could explain the functions and purposes of the rootfs.img, initrd.gz, and kernel. I have my speculations and assumptions, of course, but knowing for sure gets me a step closer to what I want. again, thanks in advance!!

90% of the work that went into FRX07 is in system.ext2, not anywhere else. Plus the rootfs itself is designed specifically to work with the system.ext2 from FRX07. That's not to say that it's impossible to modify it, but no forum thread will ever tell you all the changes you'd need to make to get that up and running.

Ohh I see, about the rootfs and the system.ext2. But that's not to say that the work that went into the FRX07 system.ext2 wouldn't be useful for another .ext2
I know the basics of modifying the system and rootfs and I have a general idea of what needs to be done, so all I'm looking for is sorta a nudge in the right direction. I'm not expecting a to-do list, but a little goes a long way.
Plus, I doubt Google would have anything useful on this topic, especially in reference to the Tilt2. Hence, this thread lol.

I noticed his skills in butchering.
what base are you using for the sense build? I have a successful build booting. The problem I have is with the sqsh file. If I unsquash it and try to rebuild it I get an error on boot. How did you convert it over? And do you have a working radio?
Never mind. I got it from the first post. That one is really slow port of Hero build. I have one that is a direct port and a lot smoother with the exception of the radio not working. But I am using completely updated rootfs, kernel, and initrd. The ones from xdandroid work just fine. But I use these kernels. I dunno if they are different from the ones directly from xdandroid site.

You can't just put the zip file in original_update. Kitchen has to be configured for your device, or it will not work. I'd like to know how to do that as well.

OK then, if it isn't necessary to configure the kitchen for your device, then how can you make it work with your device? I am just a NOOB, let's make that perfectly clear. However, I followed the directions to the letter, and read up on the kitchen before trying it. I had no success using the kitchen to create a rom that I could successfully flash.
I thought that I would have to do something with the edify defs files first, adding my device before it would work. I just never got that far yet (I only play with this part time, when I have a chance to do so.) If I don't have to add my device, and you have some idea what I may have done wrong, please enlighten me. I obviously need the help. Thanks!

You put any custom ROM for your device in there, configure it for that file (meaning that show it the file you're working on), replace it's system folder with the stock deodexed system folder.
Now, you're ready. Do your modifications. Add features. Build. Zip
Now, the important part.
Kitchen updater-script doesn't work on our device in some case. Use any custom ROM updater-script (with permission and credit), and voila!
There is a complete guide on it in Development section too.

I have tried the kitchen with my phone before, (LG Spectrum/VS920), and the ROMS generated by it will not work. It has something to do with the "edify defs" file I believe. I read it somewhere before in these forums. If your device isn't supported, it has to be added, or at least that's what I've come to understand. If someone can point me in the right directrion (adding my phone so it is supported by the kitchen), I'd appreciate it greatly.

Automatic can also mean that a zip does this work. Most of the people don´t care if a zip deodexes it or does it push deodexed files.

Stock Rom
sorry for my little english
I am making good progress with a flashable ZIP file that can be flashed using the diagnostic factory mode. The ZIP takes a current EMUI ROM base and debloats it removing Chinese langauge apps and unnecessary Huawei branding. Useful frameworks such as Motion, Gestures, AoD, etc. are retained. Going forward I plan to develop the solution further so that you will be able to modify a customisable config file that will specify what packages you want to retain, and select a downloaded EMUI ROM for the device that will be customised as per your instruction , resulting in a ZIP file being pushed to your device and you then simply need to reboot and allow the phone to flash the update. Simple ! Therefore, each time a new stock ROM is released then this tool simply needs to be run against your customisation !
Development so far-
1. I now have a method of entering the hidden factory mode allowing a ZIP package to be flashed from internal storage , so you can simply download the ZIP to your Download folder and flash from there.
2. I have a method of saving an OTA to file.
3. I have identified the ROM GPT for the device and all partitions and sequencing; this allows me to extract all partitions contained within an Huawei ROM.
4. I am currently interrogating a sample Huawei patch ROM to discern the method of patching filesystems - which i determined is basically is an overlay of the filesystem. This makes things easy as it allows a reverse image creation from a stock partitions minus bloat removed.
5. Next step is to attempt creation of a simple patch ROM using analysis obtained from 1-4 above, and trial this out on my device. This will involve CSC and SHA256RSA creation and will need to determine a method for this. Following that I need to consolidate everything into a script. Going even further, I plan to develop a GUI app which will aid N00bs
6. Following trials I will publish the ROM and instructions with sources so that anyone in the community can examine if they so desire.
* ALL WITHOUT ROOT *
HELP NEEDED:
Anyone with a rooted device , and able to "adb root" into their device as "root" , please PM me as i could do with information that you can obtain a lot easier than I can.
Great work
Waiting for the file
?
Sorry I'm not rooted ?
Update: Rooted if need any adb feedback per OP. I haven't TWRP'd and re-ROM'd but I'm going to go back update 195 and repatch. Each time is a big hassle (just remembering steps).
I think this is great. I can probably give a hand Fri afternoon.

I PM'd you shortly after you started this thread offering my help since I have a rooted AL00. The memory card is Huawei proprietary card called NM Card (nano memory card - SD card the same size as nano SIM card) here's a link for them at Amazon (not an affiliate link) https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Memory-Mirco-Compact-Flash/dp/B07KS8JBFH and they are quite expensive compared to micro sd cards.

Sorry about some folks being rude. You see it at times but I was surprised when I read it. Regardless, your finding is interesting. Where is the hidden menu you can use to flash a zip from? I wasn't planning on getting a nano sim because they are pricey. But if it is possible to do as you say I'll provably get one. Is there also an option to flash zip from file on computer? Thanks for your efforts!

You can use an USB OTG and a usb stick. Works with the hidden menu trick thing. They can be found for pretty cheap price
