Hi,
I got the CM 9 (FXP150) for Sony xperia U from one of the mirrors.
I want to modify the boot.img, please let me know the correct tool/script to unpack/repack and modify.
I already tried using following:
1) unpacking & packing scripts from github's Bootimg-scripts (unpack-bootimg.pl & repack-bootimg.pl)
- unpacking and packing the boot.img without any modifications, this creates a boot.img which doesn't boot
2) split_bootimg.pl
- Gives error message "Bad Magic"
Thanks!
Dev
This is an (hopefully) updated collection of all roms (not android based, but other linux OS, like ubuntu, archlinux, fedora...) for nexus 7 (grouper and tilapia) available using the MultiROM system.
MultiROM is an amazing hack (I want to thank again its author, Tasssadar) that permits to boot different OS (multiboot) and different android roms. It starts between kernel and rom init, showing a sort of bootloader dialog to choose which system to boot.
It supports installing (and booting, of course) roms to USB drives.
To use MultiROM you need multirom installation zip , a modified TWRP recovery and kernels with kexec support. Relax, is not hard or long to do this.
More information and installation (of MultiROM, recovery and kernels) --> [ MULTIROM ]
PS: I need to specify I coded nothing, my only work was helping with issues, repacking roms, make them work. I want to say thank you to all devs are developing for Nexus 7, I'm doing this because I appreciate their work and I want MultiROM to rise. It deserves to.
HOW TO INSTALL A ROM.
Tasssadar provided also a zip template (see the [ WIKI ] for more info) that is incredibly easy to use.
To install a linux os to sdcard, you just need to download the zip and flash it like a normal update.zip.
It won't replace your internal rom, because it is going to install in /sdcard, not in /system or /data. And it WON'T wipe anything.
Remember that flashing ubuntu or android rom is DIFFERENT from flashing those zips. To flash ubuntu or another android rom you need to use MultiROM menu under ADVANCED voice in recovery (again, see wiki or multirom thread if you need more information).
ROM PACKS.
In the next post I'll share links for rom zips. If you have other zips or if you have built other zips, please share them. They will be (hopefully) added to the list. If not, please pm me. I can't read all posts.
If you want to share a zip, please try it first. I don't know if I'll be able to test everything real-time, and I don't want anyone to see his sdcard erased or strange things like this. MultiROM has a percent of risk, but nobody has lost his data till now. So please share zips consciously.
ROM LIST (DOWNLOADS)
* [NEW] PLASMA ACTIVE 4.0 (20140121)
mirror: http://d-h.st/Khh
old version: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9ZvdqAbuJi2blQ0TDgweFFKTlU/edit
description: KDE for embedded devices. Very cool and interesting. 4.0 version is more stable, video codec is working as well. Little slow booting.
* BODHI LINUX 20130109
old version: INITIAL RELEASE
notes: old version passwd for root and armhf user is trustno1 (sorry for that, is my fault. In new release it is again bodhilinux)
description: Ubuntu with E17 (Enlightenment) with mobile GUI. Pretty stable and... veeery fast.
*ArchLinux 20130113-2
old version: -
description: ArchLinux. Simply. Not designed for basic users. Really powerfull, with already packed KDE, Gnome-shell, LXDE, XFCE, Enlightenment environments (and many others probably). Needs testing, and some love, as it's initial release.
*WebOS ALPHA
old version: http://www.mediafire.com/?3m58uuvysxiwypw
description: still in alpha stage, unstable. Interesting project. Needs love.
* [MANUAL INSTALL] Ubuntu Touch Tablet DEVELOPER PREVIEW
old version: -
description: developer preview, android-based, with the new Ubuntu Touch UI.
[NEW] Use MultiROM app to install the latest version in the easiest way
ROMS TO BE PACKED/MADE WORKING:
fedora4nexus7?
PAY ATTENTION: NEW MULTIROM CHANGED THE ROM ZIP STRUCTURE!
NEW STRUCTURE HERE.
I GUESS YOU CAN USE OLD ZIPS, BUT I CAN'T TRY AND IT'S BETTER TO USE NEW METHOD (REPACK NEEDED)
STEPS TO CREATE A NEW ROM ZIP (EASY-WAY):
* first, download the template (reworked by me)
* then, unzip the template, put the root.tar.gz and rom_info.txt inside rom folder (if you don't know what I'm talking about, read again the wiki - link above)
* edit rom name inside of scripts/extract.sh script (it's the only thing you have to edit, unless you want it to do something else, but be careful in that case)
* select the 3 folders (META-INF, rom, scripts) and zip them in a zip called <DISTRONAME>-MultiROM-Installer-<VERSION>.zip (I think it's a good standard, if you don't like simply name it another way, but I reckon that using a standard would be a very good thing)
*when the zip is finished, upload your zip somewhere (I use google drive now, but I hope I'll have my storage sometime in the future) and share the link here. I will add it to the list.
If I don't, pm me.

Hi xela,
I understand the process except for creating the 'root.tar.gz' file from a compressed image (.img or .raw) file. Do you need to extract the image file to the /root folder and then recompress with a command similar to:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -zpcf root.tar.gz ./*
Nice Topic, i've tried your first Bodhi Zip and it seems very fast and stable to me. A few bugs, but nothing major.
I'm waiting for the new Version to finish uploading

I couldn't find out how to mount those IMG files. I thought they were ext4 fs but they aren't. I tried to use dd to flash them on a drive but failure again. So to extract rootfs I install them with standard procedure (Ubuntu) and the repack roofs to tar.gz. It could be useful to find out how to directly extract rootfs, because it's the same method used by Ubuntu. With the difference that Ubuntu uses zsync to permit fast upgrade...!

If you can get the files from the .img files, you really dont need the zip to install it, just creat a dir with the name for the OS, then inside create a dir called root, then inside extract the .img
For the rom_info.txt file, just make the changes needed and put them on the same dir that ../root is and restart and you should be able to boot form it.

I think zip solution is the best and most "standard". When I make a zip I know it will work, because it's the final, multiROM surely compatible, version. And I can test it immediately, fix it, reflash, and try without messing the world up. I think update zips are the most user-friendly way too. But that's only MHO.

Troubleshooting/FAQ:
When asking for help, please provide as much of the following info as possible so I can help as easily as possible. I am a busy person and would prefer not to ask all of these questions every time someone has a problem. Thank you for understanding.
What Kitchen version?
What environment are you running the kitchen in (OS, 32/64-bit, cygwin, Bash on Windows, etc.)?
What device are you working on (make/model)?
What was the source you started from (system.img, system.ext4.tar, rom.zip, etc.)
What Android version?
What perm method (set_perm, set_metadata, sparse_dat, raw_img)?
What did you do after extracting and before building?
Were there errors on the screen if you scroll up in the terminal?
Send a recovery.log after flashing if you have problems flashing the ROM.
Send a link that does not require registration to the files you started with (nandroid, system.img, boot.img, etc)
Use the support option in the Misc Tools menu and attach the support.zip to your post.
Ubuntu4Kitchen
An Ubuntu 16.04 distro with all the things you need to get the kitchen working easily.
Visit the dedicated thread here
Language Files (translations)
English - Default/Included in the kitchen
Download additional language files here
Once the language zip has been downloaded, extract to /kitchen/tools/language and restart the kitchen.
Does this kitchen support Windows CYGWIN?
CYGWIN is not supported and will not work. Try the donate kitchen for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)
WSL is not supported in the free kitchen and will not work. Try the donate kitchen for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
Which perm type should I choose?
Here is a very brief summary of set_perm, set_metadata, sparse_dat, and raw_img.
set_perm : The oldest of the 4. Sets file/directory permissions when flashing a rom. Not recommended for KitKat and above.
set_metadata: Also sets file/directory permissions when flashing a rom, but also adds file contexts. It was introduced with selinux in KitKat. Recommended for KitKat and above.
sparse_dat: The newest of the 4, and only works on Lollipop +. The permissions, symlinks, and file contexts are all added inside a sparse image. A sparse image is an image with a more efficient space usage. Only for Lollipop and above. The free kitchen uses AOSP permissions/capabilities when building system.img. If your device requires different permissions, this method will not work for you in the free kitchen.
raw_img: This is literally raw images that are flashed to your device. The permissions, symlinks, and file contexts are all added inside the raw image. Works for all Android versions. The free kitchen uses AOSP permissions/capabilities when building system.img. If your device requires different permissions, this method will not work for you in the free kitchen.
Flashing error:
This package is for "xxxxx" devices; this is a "yyyyy"
The problem is the asserts and it is easy to fix. In the kitchen menu, go to ROM Tools > Asserts > Add/Remove device asserts. At the bottom it will say "xxxxx". Edit the line to say "xxxxx,yyyyy" and press enter. Build your rom again and flash.
Why is my ROM zip so small?
blkdiscard failed: Invalid argument
These are generally due to the partition size detection method. You need the correct partition size for ALL partitions you are creating sparse dat and raw_img images for. The kitchen will ask for each one that is included in your rom when you choose to build the full rom zip. If none of the provided auto-detect methods work, you will need to find the partition size on your own and enter it manually in the kitchen.
Root problems?
You can replace the SuperSU.zip and Magisk.zip in the kitchen with any flashable SuperSU/Magisk version you want. It is located in kitchen/tools/root/root_zips. Delete the one that is there (if it exists) and add yours. Then, unroot, re-root and your replacement will be used.
Auto check for updates when kitchen starts
To enable the auto update check, go to "Check for updates" in the main menu. After it checks, you will be asked if you want to enable it.
I added root and busybox but there is no su or busybox in my project. Why?
The kitchen does not add Busybox or SuperSU/Magisk files to the project. Instead it adds flashable zips inside the rom.zip. There are many variables to deal with (Android version, device architecture, manufacturer, system/systemless, etc.). Flashing the zips with the rom accounts for all of these variables and there is no reason to re-invent the wheel.
Debloat and custom debloat
There are 2 options in the debloat menu (besides knox which is self explanatory):
1) Debloat ROM
This option removes all files included in the kitchens standard bloat list file - /kitchen/tools/root/bloat
2) Custom Debloat
This option removes all files included in the bloat_custom file - /kitchen/tools/root/bloat_custom OR kitchen/superr_project/00_project_files/bloat_custom
This file is empty by default and is there for you to add whatever you want to remove. You can either add everything you want to remove and use only option 2, or you can add new files here and use option 1 and 2.
I suggest you take a look at /kitchen/tools/root/bloat to see the format of the listed bloat files. Use the same format for the bloat_custom file.
When you use either option, the files are not deleted. Instead they are moved to the 00_project_files directory in case you want to restore them later.
Deodexing
Deodexing Samsung roms may or may not work. If your rom does not boot after deodexing, try it without. If it works and you must deodex your rom, try a different tool. I hear svadev deodex tool works well for Samsung roms.
boot.img errors
If the kitchen gives you errors about unpacking boot.img, there is a good chance I will not be able to help. I suggest you figure out how to unpack it using Linux commands/binaries and let me know how you did it. You may also find a tutorial about how to unpack your boot.img. If so, please send a link. It does not help me to know another tool works. I need the commands/binaries used in order to update the kitchen.
Feel free to upload your boot.img AND the build.prop from the same rom so I can check to see if I can fix it. I will ignore you if you don't upload both mentioned files
I do not answer support questions through PM. There are no exceptions. Post in the thread if you want help so others can give suggestions and learn from your solution
I will not answer questions if it is clear that you have not read the OP, the info posts after the OP, and searched the thread for answers. I do not have time to answer the same questions over and over. Many questions are already answered in this thread and if you want help, I expect you to try and solve it on your own before posting. If your question has not been answered in the thread, I am happy to assist in any way possible.
If I ask you to upload files, they need to be uploaded on a server that does not require registration for full speed downloads, or registration for downloads at all. Drive, Dropbox, AFH, and Mega are examples of acceptable servers. There are many other good ones, but I hope you get the point.

I'll give it a shot on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - if there aren't any objections against @SuperR.
Is portal different than Chef Central?

Good! I can test with a mtk6582 device with lollipop stock rom... sounds great!! SUPPORT!
Regarding MTK devices, I have never owned one so I am totally unfamiliar with special requirements they may need. I will add support for everything I can as issues come up

I think you need to add mkbootimg ( https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootimg ) for work with mtk based boot.img and maybe edit the img extraction of stock imgs.... I dont't now bro, you're the chef hahaha

This kitchen already uses Android Image Kitchen by osm0sis, which includes his mkbootimg. Maybe it will already work for MTK. Let me know if you encounter problems.

hi friends,
I have compiled pure LOS 16.0 for Kenzo with the latest code from repo and with the latest available security patch.
However I don't know how to download it or basically share it with you guys.
Can someone please help me on this?
I am looking forward to compile a monthly release but am stuck as of now .. Please help.
Thank you.

At last, after makefiles optimize all the processes and build the device specific parts including binaries and libs and apps necessary for it to get booted, the 'system' folder and the 'boot.img' folder are prepared in the out/target/product/device. The META-INF folder is prepared at instance and the system and boot.img are packed into a zip file(whose name is also processed by the makefiles ) and md5 sum prepared. The flashable zip gets prepared only if you run the "brunch" command or "lunch + mka" command.

Hello guys,
After a little research, I have successfully ported MIUI 13 (v22.2.17) to Mi 8. I do not have any permissions to share the changed files as a rom, so I am writing this guide. I hope it will help
TO BEGIN WITH, WE NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING FILES:
1) MIUI 13.0.10 for Mi 8
2) POCO OS for Pocophone F1 (choose the latest)
3) A custom kernel (personally, I prefer No Gravity Kernel v2.4.1)
4) An image extractor you prefer (Brotli Extractor, Jancox Tool, etc.)
AND HERE WE START:
--> Firstly, we extract the 2nd zip file using the image extractor (4) [vendor patch]
--> While waiting, we extract the same zip (the 2nd one) with a common extractor (such as WinRAR) and take system.img and boot.img [base "system" and "boot"]
--> Then, we extract the 1st zip and take vendor.new.dat.br, vendor.patch.dat, and vendor.transfer.list and META-INF and we navigate to META-INF/com/google/android and edit updater-script replacing the following lines: [base "vendor"]
Code:
ui_print("Patching vendor image unconditionally...");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
block_image_update("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor", package_extract_file("vendor.transfer.list"), "vendor.new.dat.br", "vendor.patch.dat") ||
abort("E2001: Failed to update vendor image.");
set_progress(1.000000);
When done, we add the above vendor files and META-INF folder to (another) archive
--> When the extraction with the image extractor (4) finishes, we navigate to vendor and copy the following folders [vendor patch continue]:
* overlay
* etc/selinux
IN THE END WE HAVE...
> To flash system.img as image ["base system" step]
> To flash the .zip archive which only contains the vendor files (and, obviously, "META-INF") ["base vendor" step]
> To mount "/vendor", to delete the folders "overlay" and "etc/selinux" and, then, to replace these from the ["vendor patch continue" step]
> To flash the extracted boot.img ["base boot" step]
> (And, finally,) to flash the custom kernel (3), which makes the rom bootable.
Due to deodex, the whole boot should be finished in approximately 4 minutes
MISSING FEATURES:
> No NFC support
> No multilingual rom (but there are also some MIUI R roms here)
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
> romKTpro (for POCO OS)
> UOTAN (for vendor files)
> Tech Karan (for his similar guide)
> and to all the other developers who made the required and useful tools and mods
Link for this this "Tech Karan (for his similar guide)"?
I was able to install it mate thanks.
Working fine, very smooth.

Yes, I have found this bug, too. This happens because there is the same one on Poco F1 (base rom).
Also, there are some missing applications, which can be installed as normal .apk files from APKMirror:
-> Mi Browser
-> Mi Cleaner
-> Mi Scanner
They made an Android 12, MIUI 13 version for Poco F1.
I tried to do the same technic explained above for that.
But Jancox Tools failed to extract with errors.
(imgextractor.py and ext4.py, NameError: name 'xattr' is not defined)

Maybe you want to check it out.
Unfortunately, we have to make a compatible vendor.img for Mi 8. Otherwise, every MIUI 13 (Android 12) ROM cannot be booted (the existing vendor files are compatible with Android 11 MIUI ROM's). I will try to port /vendor, but I am not promising anything
At least, there is a compatible kernel (No Gravity v3.x.x)
Edit: NoGravityKernel does not support /system_ext (so for most MIUI S ROM's it is not compatible)
OK, ιt's been a long time since my last post, but I have found a bootable Android 12 version of MIUI 13, but I have not managed to fix the common bugs from Pocophone F1:
<!> audio
<!> camera
<!> slow motion while watching videos (due to the audio bug)
Also, this ROM does not have NFC support (Poco F1 does not come with)
In order to install it, I have flashed:
-> the ROM (by deleting the first line in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
-> permissiver v5
-> dfe (disable forced encryption)
-> XDKernel-2.6
Camera is now fixed, after replacing some vendor files (there is no need to chmod):

Well done, That's great!!!
Hoping to see a fully working android 12 and MIUI 13 soon on our MI8
So, after replacing some audio policy files from /vendor/etc, the sound comes out normally. However, I still have bugs such as slow videos and silent sounds coming as media when earphones are not connected. Are there some files at /vendor/etc to be replaced? I haven't found anything else, yet
(Also, I haven't looked for the required files for NFC support)
OK, now it's ported with no bugs.
Missing features: NFC support (Due to my inexperience, I cannot make bootable system and vendor .img files by using image kitchens and it's more difficult to set the correct permissions to files in the /bin folders from recovery)
The files to be changed are mentioned in this uploaded .txt file
Hello, again. Because the previous guides were time-consuming, I have made a patch which replaces all the required files. Unfortunately, I have not managed to add NFC support.
Instructions:
We flash system.img, vendor.img, cust.img (system_ext.img), boot.img, DFE, XD/Etude kernel
We mount /vendor
We flash the patch

Thanks for sharing your progress, its exciting indeed.
Is it possible for you in the future to share a simpler way for us non advanced users to easily upgrade to MIUI 13, e.g through recovery zip from TWRP.
Because I don't own these ROM's, please check some Telegram channels. The file name of this one (with the mentioned changes) may remind you something

Hello guys,
After a little research, I have successfully ported MIUI 13 (v22.2.17) to Mi 8. I do not have any permissions to share the changed files as a rom, so I am writing this guide. I hope it will help
TO BEGIN WITH, WE NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING FILES:
1) MIUI 13.0.10 for Mi 8
2) POCO OS for Pocophone F1 (choose the latest)
3) A custom kernel (personally, I prefer No Gravity Kernel v2.4.1)
4) An image extractor you prefer (Brotli Extractor, Jancox Tool, etc.)
AND HERE WE START:
--> Firstly, we extract the 2nd zip file using the image extractor (4) [vendor patch]
--> While waiting, we extract the same zip (the 2nd one) with a common extractor (such as WinRAR) and take system.img and boot.img [base "system" and "boot"]
--> Then, we extract the 1st zip and take vendor.new.dat.br, vendor.patch.dat, and vendor.transfer.list and META-INF and we navigate to META-INF/com/google/android and edit updater-script replacing the following lines: [base "vendor"]
Code:
ui_print("Patching vendor image unconditionally...");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
block_image_update("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor", package_extract_file("vendor.transfer.list"), "vendor.new.dat.br", "vendor.patch.dat") ||
abort("E2001: Failed to update vendor image.");
set_progress(1.000000);
When done, we add the above vendor files and META-INF folder to (another) archive
--> When the extraction with the image extractor (4) finishes, we navigate to vendor and copy the following folders [vendor patch continue]:
* overlay
* etc/selinux
IN THE END WE HAVE...
> To flash system.img as image ["base system" step]
> To flash the .zip archive which only contains the vendor files (and, obviously, "META-INF") ["base vendor" step]
> To mount "/vendor", to delete the folders "overlay" and "etc/selinux" and, then, to replace these from the ["vendor patch continue" step]
> To flash the extracted boot.img ["base boot" step]
> (And, finally,) to flash the custom kernel (3), which makes the rom bootable.
Due to deodex, the whole boot should be finished in approximately 4 minutes
MISSING FEATURES:
> No NFC support
> No multilingual rom (but there are also some MIUI R roms here)
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
> romKTpro (for POCO OS)
> UOTAN (for vendor files)
> Tech Karan (for his similar guide)
> and to all the other developers who made the required and useful tools and mods

Hello, is this manual suitable for mi mix 3?

Hello I am new to this, but I already have an unlocked bootloader.
Can you please confirm :-
1. Which tool I need to use to flash the ROM .img files, Xiaomi Flash Tool?
2. Which latest MIUI 13 ROM is most suitable, POCO OS •13.0.12.0 EU [ IGNITION 4.0 ].zip?
3. Which beryllium2dipper-patch.zip patch I need to use for the Mi 8?
4. Only bug is NFC right? Will audio, camera, safetynet, banking apps, xiaomi account and cloud work?
Edit:
I am not sure if the steps are correct and which beryllium2dipper-patch.zip patch file I should use
To begin with, the steps are not difficult. we have to flash the following files:
--> system.img, cust.img (system_ext), vendor.img (the patched one), boot.img
as images from a recovery which supports cust images, such as OrangeFox.
--> DFE (disable forced encryption), the latest stable patch, permissiver and XD kernel as .zip files
--> base.apk is Mi Video if someone wants to install the provided version and not this from Play Store, APKmirror etc..
(?)> If the ROM is not bootable, we have to make sure the previous ROM was not encrypted or /data is formatted.
(?)> And, of course, we also need to have the latest firmware from Xiaomi (Global/China)
Moreover, the bugs are the same: NFC, perhaps AOD (some developers have removed it on Poco, on Ignition 2.0 there is AOD support) and Dual GPS (but normal GPS works normally). Only these.
When it comes to Ignition 4.0, both are nice. Personally, I would choose the first version of Ignition 4.0 (not the reuploaded one), which is probably more stable.
Last but not least, it is likely that these ROM's can be ported to other devices, such as Mi Mix 3 (similar device), in case a suitable kernel is found and the correct proprietary files are replaced (usually, by testing).

Thanks for the explanation, I have flashed successfully with minor tweaks.
To resume:-
Prerequisites:
1. MIUI13 Android 12 firmware (POCO OS IGNITION 2.0) feels more responsive
2. Phone ROM with unlocked bootloader and OrangeFox recovery.
3. Phone ROM must be on latest Official ROM (Global/China)
4. Phone ROM must not encypted or /data formatted
Boot to OrangeFox recovery:
1. Flash .img files; system.img, cust.img (system_ext), vendor.img, boot.img (POCO OS IGNITION 2.0)
2. Flash .zip files; DFE (disable forced encryption), latest stable beryllium2dipper-patch, permissive and XD kernel
3. Reboot phone to system and enjoy
Edit:
I have reverted back to my old ROM (xiaomi.eu MIUI12.5} as I feel its more polished and optimised but its nice to see Android 12 with MIUI13 fully working ported to the Mi 8.
