Just put the files obtained from any build inside a file named "Andboot" (no quotes) on the root of the storage card. The files should contain haret, zimage, system etc. Then go to the andboot folder and run haret. Folders created by android will still end up on the root of the storagecard and not the andboot folder.
Example:
Storage card/andboot

I Need Helping Making A Custom update.zip

So I guess my question is, "Can anyone help me?"
I used custom ringtones, and I don't like using them from the SD card, it creates lag, takes longer to load the ringtone, etc, so I keep them on my /system/media folder. Normally to accomplish this, when I install a new ROM update, I edit it and resign it, with my media folder, rather than the ROM's.
My predicament however, is that I don't know how to change the file structure for the update, I know there are files in the update that say, this and this folder exist, where this goes, etc. This is what I don't know how to do.
All I need the update to do is contain the media (/system/media) folder, so I can just add all my ringtones and notifications to this update, and flash it after I flash whatever update/rom, etc, instead of always having to be at my computer to create a custom version of every rom I use.
Could anyone please care to help? I'd be ever grateful.
You can use the attached file.
Just edit the files in the ROM
zip it
put the zipped ROM in the same folder as the attached files
run sign.bat
FLASH

is this just to be used for signing? i already know how to sign files. i need someone to edit w/e files are inside the rom that tell its structure (this folder exists, and gets flashed here, this folder goes here, etc). i cant just take a cm rom and delete everything i dont need then flash it. it will get errors in recovery.
Make a folder called media in the root of your update, and create the proper descending folders in media (i.e. audio/ringtones, etc). Place your notifications/ringtones/alarms etc in the proper folders. (I am sure you understand this already)
Open your update-script file for the update and add the line
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:media SYSTEM:media
That should do it.
Note that if in the update-script you already have an entire system folder being copied over via
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
then you need only add the folder media to the folder /system in the update.

Installing Apps via nomorootfs update

Is there a way to install applications in android by making an androidupdate.tar file?

yes. make a folder called system and then put another folder called apps in the system folder. then put the apk's in that app folder. so it should be
system/app/....apk
then turn that system folder into an .tar
Can you recommend an application to do this? I tried QuickZip, but it didnt work because it can't archive folders.
I use 7-Zip:
http://www.7-zip.org/
Works really well.

Try this re-naming experiment

Go into 'My Files' and try re-naming your Android, DCIM and sd folders.
When you 're-name' your Android and DCIM folders you are really creating new folders, not re-naming your old ones.
And when you try to re-name your sd folder, you will be told that you can't.
Get to know Android.
that is how the normal file system works in linux

Well first, how do you know which folders can be renamed and which can't?
Will linux create a new folder (and all its contents) whenever you rename one or just when you rename certain ones?
TIA

Use this method..

Download a valid update.zip to
use as a template - for example,
my CyanogenMod 0.7.
Extract the zip to a new folder and
rename it - let's call the folder
updatezip .
Inside the updatezip folder, delete
the system folder and boot.img
file (as these are the
CyanogenMod files that you don't
want).
For the ROM you want to convert,
extract the contents of its
system.rfs image to a new folder
called system.
Copy this new system folder to the
updatezip folder.
Copy the boot.img file from your
ROM to the updatezip folder.
Re-zip the contents of the
updatezip folder (but not the
updatezip folder itself). If you see
warnings about symlinks not
being added, don't worry - we
don't want to add them anyway.
You need to have some Linux shell
experience in order to do this. You
can't do it from Windows.

anyway to insert speech language on system directory?

hi, I have an interop unlocked Lumia 830, and i've installed windows 10 mobile preview on this, but I can't download speech languages, is there anyway to put this on the C: folder on phone with full file system access and interop unlock?
This can only be doned before you upgrade to WM10.
I used to make a copy of DUShared directory on my PC. Every time i install wm10 interopunlock, full acces System , copy, update phone...install
EDIT: create those directories inside DUShared. Extract and copy inside DUShared the updateimput.xml file.
extract and copy inside PackagesToInstall directoy the speeech files from my ondrive account.

when I click to search updates it tell that the phone was updated, what is the process?
I think:
1)copy those files in phone folders.
2)speech, ad language-download,
3)settings, update.
Or only 1 and 3.
I think i have only one part of packagestoinstall. Only cortana in spanish is talking
