[Help] Please identify the pins on my HK101 STB motherboard - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Hi, I have the HK101 TV Box with s905D soc created by Foxconn. Ths OS was android 7.1.2. Please identify the part A on the photo. The pins 1 to 5 that I tested are 0v, 3.3v, 3.3v, 3.3v, 0v. I have no idea what it is. I thought the part B was TTL port. I tested the pins 1 to 4: 0, 3.3, 2.9,0 and it should be Gnd, Vcc, TX, RX but I connected with PC no result displayed. Is it possible the kernel disable the serial console? I want to root the box & I get the OTA files. How can I flash the image on the box? The USB_Burning_Tool seemed no accept the OTA file. The OTA files I extracted was the following:
system.patch.dat
META-INF\com\android\metadata
META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary
META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
boot.img
bootloader.img
dtb.img
file_contexts.bin
logo.img
recovery.img
system.new.dat
system.transfer.list
META-INF\com\android\otacert
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
META-INF\CERT.SF
META-INF\CERT.RSA
Can I repack the file that used by USB_Burning_Tool? Thanks a lot.

[Q] How can I unpack and repack Davinci UBL Boot Image?

Phone: Alcatel Onetouch 991D
I extracted the system.img(ANDROID partition) following this guide on windows: Creating a ROM dump of your MT65x3 device (easily found by searching google, since I can't post links yet)
I then copied the system.img over to linux(ubuntu 12.10).
opened terminal and invoked the command below to see the type of image.
mkimage -l system.img
Code:
Image Type : Davinci UBL Boot Image
UBL magic : 00720019
Entry Point: 00730065
nr of pages: 0064002f
start block: 00610072
start page : 00610077
Then dried: ./simg2img system.img sys.raw
And the result...
Code:
Bad magic
Anyone know how to unpack this type of image or convert it to a raw image so then I can mount it?

Can you attach that image here, to take a look? It sounds like there is no ramdisk in it. There are some phones that doesn't have ramdisks in boot images.

Sure thing, just remove .zip from the file name, had to do that as it only allows 8Mb img uploads
I'm trying to edit the boot so that I might be able to make the external SD into the data drive, is this even possible or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!

Ok, I see... Your image is "lokified". In order to use my tool you need to "de-lokify" it first, then after modding you need to "re-lokify" it back. Some infos here and here. It may be many other infos but I didn't have time to do a full search; you have to do it for yourself.
Some LG and Samsung devices have that "Loki" thing and you need to deal with it. Maybe when I'll have a phone like that I'll make an automated process for it, but now I haven't and I can't work "in blind".
I don't know what to say about your last question... I'm not even sure what you're talking about.

Awesome, thanks!
basically, the LG Optimus F3 comes with too little memory built in, there's a program that mounts an external SD's second partition as a data folder, but even still it runs out of internal memory or won't install apps larger than the internal memory because the "System" partition still has little room.
so the goal was to edit the boot so it will boot using an external SD directly as the system drive, it would read it's maximum memory available as whatever the external SD's maximum is.
this would solve the problem, if it works, if not then it'll probably just brick the phone :good:
I just wanted to update and say thanks. This helped out great! I was able to successfully boot /data from my external SD card as desired, however, my card is only a class 2 so it won't be a good idea until I upgrade it to a class 10.
Lg Optimus F3 comes with very little internal storage, which was giving me a headache, so I wanted to make the phone boot using an external SD as the /data partition.
after following your tip, I unloki'd the boot image and used your Carliv Image Kitchen to extract the contents, edited the fstab and edited out the original code: "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data" telling it to mount /data on the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 instead.
after repacking and re-loking and flashing the .img it had some problems, for some reason it was just booting to a black screen, so I used dd from the team win terminal to copy the /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata over to the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2, and it worked!
being a class 2, it booted slowly and responded slowly but works none the less.
to be sure there was no problem with partition size, being how I used dd to mirror userdata over to the sdcard, I ran gparted in linux and resized the partition smaller, then larger to full size (just in case)
thanks for your wonderful tool and for pointing me in the right direction.

The answer is already in your question:

Click to collapse
As I already posted in recovery's thread, it will work with kitkat kernels. Some people port it to lollipop but I never recommended that.
So to answer clearly cm11 because cm12 means lollipop, or it will work with any other kitkat based ROM if your phone has any kitkat kernel released.
You need to ask the one who released that cm12 for your phone to provide a matching recovery along.
Now you probably need to reflash the phone with SPFlashTools.
ok thanks a whole lot but im having another issue the sd card is now only readable by my phone how do i go about copying a rom to it whenever i plug it into the pc it doesnt come up

Which chipset?
Hi there... I woul like to ask if this tool works for Helio x20 cpu's... (Mt6797 - Leagoo T10) because I'm trying to extract the stock recovery but having trouble with the ramdisk... It says "compression used unknown..." I've seen it mentioned in the discussion some times but the explanation was to use the 1. Metod ??? I'm using the windows 1.1 version and I really don't see any other method to use (start bat, r, 1 recovery.img, , 1 unpack image, error....) I'm just installing Ubuntu to see the difference but would be grateful for some advise... Thanks.
Since main Carlive Image Kitchen thread has been closed in 2017 all the util builds have been lost for some unknown reason. Dev claimed he have personal problems and adviced users to help each other.
I've found latest official version 1.3 builds and publish them here for practical and historic reasons. This util mentioned in a various manuals so people will look for it for a long time then. Old Linux modded version by yuweng is also added for completeness.

Furthermore user FOV5 @ 4pda.ru forums have modded latest 1.3 version a few times so I do publish here his latest modded version 1.5B3 (12-Jan-2018)
Changes history:
- v1.4: Support for some non-standard kernel images (e.g. LibreELEC and similar).
- v1.5B1:
- Removed 'Boot' and 'Recovery' prefixes from file names while unpacking Boot/Recovery images. This is due to ability to easily compare whole Boot and Recovery folders after unpacking.
- Added optional experimental AmLogic core unpacking. This could be helpful to patch storage media layout when device partition build into the core.
- v1.5B2: Fixed 32 bit app crash after core unpacking. A few other small non critical fixes.
- v1.5B3:
- New while core slitting, parameters like Name, Load Address and Entry Point are preserved.
- Fixed: New app will try to pack core only when all the 4 kernel parts are found in the unpacking folder. If core unpacking process some kind failed, one or more kernel.* files will be missing, so repack process will use original core instead of trying to assemble broken one.

If you have any questions related to this modded app version look for FOV5 user at 4pda.ru forums and ask him (I don't know does he speak any langs except Russian, online translators available anyway. There is also Russian numeric captcha problem for non-Russian speakers when loggin in to that forums, sorry guys). I do not often use this app and occasionally visit XDA, so I can't support this product in a professional manner. Help each other guys!

Help for building dtb file

Hello,
To use LibreElec, I actually use a prebuild dtb file (from kszaq repository) on my Android box (Transpeed S905 2/8G + 1Gigabit LAN) but the LAN is 100Mbps instead of Gigabit and RAM memory is 1GB instead of 2.
I yould like to build my own dtb based from the original Android ROM but I am always stuck on the startup screen.
I have tried to:
- Extract the dtb from the ROM
- Change the value for Ethernet and Memory inside the dts file from the prebuild dtb
But always the same error happen
How can I build a dtb in the "correct" way?
Someone can help me?
How can i get the dtb.img from android?
I see that in uart log

How To Guide [GUIDE] [T220/T225] Flash a GSI on the A7 Lite (without TWRP)

Hi everyone, this is a short guide on how to flash a GSI on the A7 Lite (without TWRP).
Its a nice little tablet for the price but it doesn't have a very powerful SOC and for me the One UI is barely usable on this device. The launcher and the whole system UI feel extremely laggy, but apps generally run fine.
I tried phhusson's custom Android 12 GSI and the device was almost resurrected. Much much less UI lag and the battery life is the same as stock ROM. The only thing i found not working is MTP but i don't need it.
Since i saw a couple users here asking about GSIs i decided to make a very simple guide.
As always do this at your own risk. You may brick your device. You will void your warranty.
Follow the guide only if you know what your are doing. Read each step carefully and avoid copy pasting stuff randomly.
I won't go deep into details as i believe you should have some basic knowledge if you decide to do this.
The procedure sould work for both T220 and T225 (i tested it on a T220).
I did this on Windows using WSL for some of the steps.

- tar-md5-script-tool
Use the attached tar-md5-script-tool.zip
Steps​
1. Extract official ROM files (BL, AP, CP, CSC)
2. Extract AP .tar.md5
3. Decompress the extracted super.img.lz4
Code:
lz4 -d super.img.lz4 super.img
4. Convert the sparse super.img
Code:
simg2img super.img super.ext4.img
5. Unpack super.ext4.img
Code:
lpunpack super.ext4.img
I got 4 partitions in my image (should be the same for all T220/T225 ROMs):
- odm.img
- product.img
- system.img
- vendor.img
6. Replace system.img with your GSI (rename it to system.img)
7. Get the size of all partitions and the size of the original super.ext4.img (not the sparse super.img)
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' IMG_FILE.img
8. Repack super.img
Code:
lpmake --metadata-size 65536 \
--super-name super \
--metadata-slots 2 \
--device super:ORIGINAL_SUPER_IMG_SIZE \
--group main:SUM_OF_ALL_PARTITIONS_SIZES \
--partition odm:readonly:ODM_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image odm=./odm.img \
--partition product:readonly:PRODUCT_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image product=./product.img \
--partition system:readonly:SYSTEM_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image system=./system.img \
--partition vendor:readonly:VENDOR_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image vendor=./vendor.img \
--sparse \
--output ./super_new.img
Replace ORIGINAL_SUPER_IMG_SIZE, SUM_OF_ALL_PARTITIONS_SIZES, ODM_PARTITION_SIZE, PRODUCT_PARTITION_SIZE, SYSTEM_PARTITION_SIZE, VENDOR_PARTITION_SIZE with the values you obtained in step 7.
Read lpmake docs for a more detailed expalation of the args used above:
partition_tools - platform/system/extras - Git at Google
9. Compress the repacked super_new.img
Code:
lz4 -B6 --content-size super_new.img super_new.img.lz4
10. Compress the clean vmbeta.img
Code:
lz4 -B6 --content-size vbmeta.img vbmeta.img.lz4
11. Extract tar-md5-script-tool.zip
12. Put all the *.img.lz4 files extracted from AP .tar.gz in tar-md5-script-tool dir
13. Replace super.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 in tar-md5-script-tool dir with your repacked and compressed super_new.img.lz4 (rename it to super.img.lz4) and the clean compressed vbmeta.img.lz4
14. Run batch.bat in tar-md5-script-tool dir
You will find the new AP .tar.md5 in the temp-folder subdir
15. Flash your custom AP .tar.md5 with Odin along with BL, CP, CSC from original ROM
16. Reboot into recovery and do a factory reset
17. Done

System lang is italian but should be easy to understand.
I found only a couple bugs so far in phhusson's GSI:
- in the launcher dragging apps from drawer to homescreen doesn't always work (just use another launcher)
- crashed once while searching in settings app
I use the tablet only for media consumption and some retrogaming, so there are probably other bugs i haven't noticed.
This is a generic guide, it won't include a "known issues" section since it largely depends on what GSI you choose.
I haven't tested this on the LTE version so i can't say for sure if mobile network works or not.
Unfortunately i don't have the time to make a custom ROM, test it and keep it updated here on the forum but maybe if there is enough interest someone will do it.
I hope other users will try to flash a GSI and share their experience here so we can gather some info on working/broken stuff, especially on the LTE model since i can't test that.
Hello,
I'm sorry but what am I missing here?
I'm a little fustrated cause after hours and hours of headaches I got to the second to last step which involves tar-md5-script-tool
I simply put all the .img.lz4 files from AP and replace super & vbmeta files which the ones that I converted and try to run the batch.bat as instructed.
However nothing happens and this is what the program spits out.
On the tar tool xda forum it says that it convers .img files, not .img.lz4 . Are we supposed to extract all the .img files from inside the .lz4 files?
I appreciate the guide but there are a lot of missing details I had to fill in and figure out myself, like the fact that from step 4 to step 8 you need to use WSL or a Linux distro (using simg2img for Windows messes things up so please use the one from otatools inside a linux bash)
Also for people that are not familiar with linux you need to type "./" in front of directed commands ( in this case ./simg2img ./lpunpack ./lpmake)
I'm not a developer or a programmer, maybe you wrote this guide for people more inclined to that, but for me this was pretty hard.
Noob here, but I'm running the "simg2img super.img super.ext4.img" and nothing happens for 5 min and when I'm aborting I'm getting a "Error reading sparse file header".
Any suggestions?

I can confirm simg2img doesn't seem to work on Windows, i used WSL.
@ReubenMCSM i will update the guide with more details in the future but i don't have much time right now.
For you specific issue, try to use the attached tar-md5-script-tool.
Great thanks!
What's the process with tar-md5-script-tool? Just moving the super.img to the folder and running the batch.bat didn't work the output file in the temp folder is 11 kb. Tried to change super.img to super.tar but no change.
Thanks for the tool, but unfortunately the output is the same, like the problem @DanneSwe has
It looks like the batch.bat script from the tar md5 tool linked in the guide is a bit different from the one i used. I will update the guide.
Try again with the version i attached in the post above.
- Extract the AP tar md5 from official rom
- Copy all .img.lz4 files in the tar-md5-script-tool folder
- Replace super.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 (step 13)
- Launch batch.bat, output should look like this
- You will find AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5 in temp-folder
It finally worked! I redid everything and also moved my folder to drive C instead of drive D, maybe this made the difference

What GSI did you pick and could you upload the files you flashed?
I got simg2img to work by using
.\simg2img -i super.img -o super.ext4.img
packed img filename: super.img
output img filename: super.ext4.img
Wrote "super.ext4.img"
The lpunpack and lpmake step isnt working for me ive been at this for days, no luck.
Can someone please help me out by uploading custom AP .tar.md5(file with GSI, the modded one) along with BL, CP, CSC from original ROM to google drive?
thanks!

I had the same issue. :/
Can someone help me with the T225 LTE model by compiling the AP please? Because for some reason the tar-md5-script tool isnt working for me
Thanks.
Successfully flashed GSI with magisk on my T220 following the OP's procedure. MTP is not working as the OP said. However, I can use my flash drive so I don't really miss MTP.
I chose "system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz" for GSI. "Treble Info" app can tell you what image would be compatible with your device.
If you want to use a different launcher like Nova instead of the default one, change the "Smallest width" setting from 600 to 598 in Developer options to hide the annoying taskbar.
AOSP-Mods and "Project Themer - Android 12+" work fine for me.
Here is my build for my device SM-T220 (SM-T220_EUX_T220XXU1AVE1):
GSI: system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz
Custom AP: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045394/AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5
Custom AP with Magisk patch: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045714/magisk_patched-25101_cauJQ.tar
You can extract BL and Home_CSC from SM-T220_EUX_T220XXU1AVE1.
Notes: My device is actually SM-T220 XAR, but I have been updating it with SM-T220 EUX firmware versions without any issue.

Here is the custom AP based on the following. Since I don't have SM-T225 device, can't verify it. However, I compiled the AP the same way I did for my SM-T220.
- SM-T225_EUX_T225XXU1AUJ1
- GSI: system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz

Use this ONLY on SM-T220 (without SIM card) and on EUX version.
