flashing Kernel without pc? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I want to flash a new Kernel without an update.zip and I don't have a pc right now.
Is it possible to flash the zImage without using the computer? If yes could you please give me a detailed instruction?!
Thanks in advance, I really need something like this but don't want to use the update zip since it overrides other stuff and makes them break.

Some kernels offer an update zip. Download with your phone to sdcard, reboot into recoverry, flash from zip.

Lol, just lol. Try to read before you reply.

Haha... this is what happens when u read half the post... lol!!!
But you could try creating an update.zip using the new AnyKernel Updater by Koush. This extracts the boot.img installed on the phone, recreates a new boot.img using the zImage provided and flashes it... take a look at the new update.zip in Pershoot's latest kernel release (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=236). You can replace the zImage in the folder kernel with a zImage of you choice and also replace the wifi driver, resign the package... and flash it!!!

I don't think he wants to use a computer at all. Or do you? This method is longer than flashboot flash zimage.. unless you want to "save" the kernel for maybe later flashing...

It's not that I don't want to use a computer.. I just can't use one!

Is there someone still interested in Tattoo's SPL?

Since we have rooted it now SPL seems to be useless.
----
Well, this is the original SPL image on Tattoo, nothing related to update.zip.
----
I was trying to reverse it, and just found why it refuses to erase, but I could not find why it refuses to download data from the host.
----
By now, to flash SPL or the first splash, you need a custom kernel with additional partition information and then use flash_image is OK.

useless !! nope defo not, thanks for the input..
are you new here or regular user with new I.D. ??
..
definitely tewilove ; i loved this since long time.... is it correct that i rename it as update.zip & boot into recovery, then apply update.zip ???
one more question : will it change my baseband version from G to H ?, which is non 3G to 3G firmware...
i am dying here someone would come up with this innovative upload. thanks tewilove for this wonderful upload....
@tewilove, ur zip file is not signed.... when i tried updating it in recovery mode, it says verification failed, no signature....

Original post:
Now you are going to sign the zip file. Download attached testsign.zip and copy it in your <SDK>/tools folder. Extract it here. It should create a sign subfolder with a testsign.jar file in it.
Then, from <workdir> folder, do:
java -classpath <SDK>/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Ok, now your zip file is ready to be deployed using cyanogen recovery image.

it didn't corrupt your kernel. Just manually push the BCM4329.ko file through adb.
or just to be safe just push everything again manually. That way you know everything was done right.

Download and run the one click root file, it will repatch with the kernel that comes in it or you can place the files from the latest kernel release into it. I think thats the best option for you if you are not comfortable using adb.

It could be an issue with the download. Find the file with astro or root explorer and delete it then redownload, or download to your computer and place it on the xoom and have the app install from the sd card instead of downloading it.
If it still doesnt work for you, just reflash the one click root and give it a day or two for the devs to update the app or something.
Hope everything works out for you

Well.... Uhhh.... Thats not something I tried myself. But I think it would be pretty easy... When you extract the root my xoom folder to your computer, open it up and find the kernel files... then replace them with the updated files from the 1.3.2 zip file. Just unzip the 1.3.2 folder and copy and paste.
Hope this helps
ive opend the rootmyxoom folder and i dont know where to put the contents from the zip

I dont have a current version of the one click root, but I would think to look inside either the wifi root folder or the tiamat folder (inside the rootmyxoom folder). Whichever one has the same files from the 1.3.2 folder, copy and paste them over to that folder inside the rootmyxoom folder and you should be golden.
ive looked thru them all , i dont see any files in any of those folders that look like the ones that come in the zip
open up the tiamit files in the root my xoom folder and replace with whatever kernel you want to use. I did this three times with tiamit 1.3.0, and .1 and .2. You can try to just replace the entire file or go in and replace the indiviual files from within the tiamit kernel folder. Be careful though if you replace the wrong files or mix them up could be bad results, usually just no wifi or bootloops.
Oh by the way i always did all this on a windows based computer that way the files look the same or similar

This works great, now if only there can be a similar app that installs themes
Wow, Kernel manager just solved my problem of flashing the new tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Was having issues in CWM, instead of pulling my hair out in testing it out via trial by error. Had a (status 0) error while flashing kernel in CWM.
It was resolved by using Kernel Manager!!!
Can't access link to download apk? Anyone have this problem?

1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.
How to:
Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

or link me to a place that really can help me to learn better on changing the update script.
try this one, I updated the updater-script, you can compare it with the one from kitchen.
PS: Forgot to update the update-binary file, now try the new one. It should work.
Thanks!!!! But I got an error that states
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

I wonder whats wrong.
looked in a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194245&page=3
and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!
Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.
@quest221
Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?

Ok. Let me try to understand this. They replace "system recovery.img" which is reside in the original rom bin file with "cwm recovery.img" (where to get this file?) and then flash it using smartflash tool. So after reset by smartflah, cwm is already in the phone installed. Then all is easy, proceed to install superuser.zip, etc..etc.zip.
How is it possible to obtain root by inserting cwm in the rom while cwm itself require root to run? Also, what's the "system recovery.img" that got replaced. Is it important?
Please investigate more. Need more info on how "patching" is done too. I don't understand russian.

I guess you need to investigate more how android works. Flashing recovery image with the whole system in a bin file makes cmw part of the "original" firmware so,like recovery that only can erase all this one can read/write in the system files. Sounds normal. I read on Samsung forums that they get root for latest versions by flashing a patched odin file and then a su zip. I will try it

Then we can say that this is universal method as long as cwm can be patch into the rom. Finding exploit is not necessary anymore. So, what's the function of the file replaced in the rom. Is it the original lg recovery method which is not available anymore if this we use this method?
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder why it hasn't be use before, maybe because lack of rom file in bin format?
Edit: downloading rom in your link, pls post how to proceed if you get hold of it.

to get the files out of a kdz: grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. So either you update for real (in which case you have the time to grab the files) or you create a symbolic link between the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone folder and another folder you create say name it C:\test. What happens is that files get extracted and then \phone folder deleted when no phone is detected but the files remain on the \test folder. So you get your files which are a "model.dll" file (in p970 case i guess something like lgp970.dll) and a .wdb file which is the firmware. How to proceed though to tinker further with the .wdb file so as to get bin file and baseband still elludes me
I bet our rom cooker knew how to unpack and repack. So, anyone?

update: doing some research and it seems to extract the bin files you need lgutils and the .dll file you get from the kdz extraction but I am not at home to look into it any further.

Mate Upload Your Rom and PM it to me and i'll look at what is wrong if u like.
Are you sure you never used any of the Dsixda kitchen tools?
Because they are not compatible with the Ace.
Plus, I hope you never converted it into update-script.
Is your rom CM7 based, or stock based?
Im using stock boot.img
I thought it would work... I don't like custom kernels like nims or CF-Root.
As soon as I get home I'll send you ROM.
It was originally update-script and changed with dsixda kitchen to updater-script.
Stock based

So that's the problem.
Dsixda scripts are not compatible with the Ace.

After creating zip usi.g dsixda kitchen. Extract zip and copy meta-inf folder from.other rom and replace. Stock kernel wont work. Extract the zip of any custom kernel, copy system folder and boot.img and paste in the root directory of extracted files of rom. Zip back everything. It will work.

So I just replace boot.img with a custom kernel and start building from that?
or after creating the .zip I also have to copy the META-INF from another ROM?

Just replace META-INF in your rom with META-INF from Blackhawk(if stock rom) and make necessary edits.Your rom will work perfectly.I personally haven't had any problem by using stock kernel.
POTATO!!!!

Ok. Read carefully.
After creating the zip via dsixda kitchen. Close it and dont touch it at all. The follow the steps from my last comment.
Buddy.
Just upload your meta-inf..
and i'll look into it.
Got this problem before , it's because the assert command in updater-scripts do not support boot.imgs larger than 4MB .
Just remove the assert() and replace the commands in the proper format (replace commas at the end of command with semi-colons) as well as grab a proper update-binary , your boot.img should work .

I'm working on a Samsung Galaxy GT-B5510, having the same problem trying to install custom ROMs and kernels. All failing with the same error you describe here. However, when I edit the script and rerun it, it does not throw an error but it looks like the kernel is not replaced. The only thing I didn't do was change the update-binary. What do you mean by a "proper" one?
Thanks.

The ones inside the custom ROMs where flashing a custom kernel has been a success in
I give up writing anymore signatures.
