Here's what I got so far:
K12K (256/500hz) Speedmod Kernal (zImage file)
cygwin and 7-zip installed
Un-tarred JL2 rom
SU/Superuser.akp/Busybox install files
Magic-iso
I keep having to reflash, re-root then apply the speedmod when I'm done which is becoming a pain in the butt as I'm testing out every rom on the site I always wanna start from basic scratch
I'd like to:
use magic iso and combine all my root files into into the factoryfs.rfs
use the zImage from Speedmod so I have CWM included
Is this possible?
I know where to put the zImage and howto combine them together with tar in cygwin:
tar -H ustar -c image_1 [image_2 ...] > your_odin_package.tar
md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar
Then I can use that in odin. I was looking around, and aside from the "howto cook your own from" I don't see where I can put the "root" file to install busybox allowing the rest of it.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do this?
Thanks.
Found where to change the updater-script, had to open cache.rfs in magic iso, extract sec_csc.zip, open that with 7-zip, edit the updater script for su/busybox and calling busybox install
Flashing now, just in case I hope it dont brick lol

Ill have to look that up then thought im not sure what failed. it might be the sec.zip file though.
Sent from my GT-I9000M
I just downloaed the newest 2.2.1 firmware for the netherlands . I managed to extract the tar package and also extracted factoryfs.rfs so I have folder with the complete rom ( minus modem and kernel which are separate) how can I deodex the files and zipalign them ? There must be an easy way to do it ?
I want to try out the csc file from a i9000b rom on my i9000 but all I can find is single file roms.
Can I somehow extract the CSC file from it?
Rom is tar file unzip it .win rar works .
If inside is then image files open with Ultra ISO or similar .
Or build a rom with the CSC file you want in it .

None of the files are ISO. I get these files:
cache.rfs
factorfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage
Also, the link you provided does not have any CSC for Brazilian portuguese. That's why I'm trying to extract it from the Brazilian SGS i9000b.
hello guys,
i have a 1file rom with a product code that i would like to change to my providers product code and i'd add swype for my language, too
so after some searching here and there i might have found a solution that should work
1-extract cache.rfs from the 1file rom
2-mount cache.rfs in ultraiso to unzip sec_csc.zip
3-i change this file (get the same file from my provider rom and add swype inside it and resign it with updatezip-packager
4-i repackage this sec_csc.zip into cache.rfs with ultraiso
5-i repackage the rom into 1 file or 3 file with rom packager or with ramad's method
6-flash and be happy
is this method useable?
thanks
That's really interesting, I was thinking to do exactly the same thing! I'd like to take PDA and Phone from JVR, and use the latest official CSC file released for my country.
Your procedure is complicated by the fact that you're starting with one-file rom. I was wondering... if I alreadyhave the 3-files JVR rom, do you think that just replacing the CSC.tar.md5 file would work?
for two 3file roms just swapping the csc.tar does the trick
however i have 1file roms and i'm uncertain if it works here this way or not
You could follow this guide or better this script to transform your 1-file rom into a 3-file version. It should be easier.
Hi,
I want to flash XXLA4 ROM with OLBKL2 CSC and CF-Root LA4 using CWM Manager in one go.
I have these files:
N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5
N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_N7000DXKL2_HOME.tar.md5
CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.tar
Inside the ROM package there are:
factoryfs.img -> this is System files (PDA), I will use XXLA4
modem.bin -> this is Phone modem, I will use XXLA4
zImage -> this is Kernel, I will use CF-Root XXLA4
cache.img -> this is CSC files, I will use OLBKL2
hidden.img -> what is this? should I use the file from DXLA1 or XXLA4?
I searched but found conflicting answers. Some said that it's related to CSC, so I should use the file from DXLA1. But, leaked samsung rom only have cache.img inside MULTI-CSC tar file (for example GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALA3.tar).
I also noticed that some of the ROM package that I extracted have the same modified date for factoryfs.img and hidden.img, while different modified date for cache.img; meaning it's related to System files (factoryfs.img).
So, to know from which file should I use hidden.img from (DXLA1 or XXLA4), I want to know what is inside hidden.img.
Thank you so much in advance~!

cache is CSC
if you want to use another CSC file, just select cache in Mobile Odin OR in case of CWM, when it ask you to select file for Cache, you have to point to CSC file(OBL KL2 CSC e.g.)
I said you earlier too, that will wipe your data, as i remember you have not concern about losing data i think.

Yes, I know about cache.img is the CSC files, and I know how to use it with Mobile Odin or CWM Manager.
You are right, I don't mind factory wipe, infact I always full wipe before any firmware update.
What I want to know is about hidden.img...
Yes, I'm curious, I want to know and learn what is this image file contain.
Oh, and yes, I have flashed to XXLA4 using hidden.img from XXLA4...
It works.. But I'm still curious and want to know what is it..
Thanks again~
Bump. Any more info on what's inside the hidden.img file?

Use magic iso to mount that image file and see whats inside it
Well on my Motorola, it contains boot animation, wallpapers, carrier related settings (subsidy lock), and nvitems.
Hope that helps
It has binary counter trigger!! X10 lol
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
Hidden.img is exclusive to carrier branded Stock ROM's.
In case of such ROM's cache.img + hidden.img together constitute the CSC. So my guess is hidden.img has some of the carrier specific bloat!
EDIT: Just saw that the hidden.img from the xwla4 ROM contains files related to the Samsung Gamehub (ngmoco)!
Thnx!
Delete hidden.img

Any idea if it's possible to delete "hidden.img" from the CSC tar file and then flash it to keep everything but the bloat?

yeh mate;
rename extracted file from xxxxxx.tar.mtd to xxxxx.tar and it should turn into a winrar compressed file
then you can delete hidden.img
after you compress them together and the only way i know how to do that is with the Unified Android Toolkit

Open the zip with Total Commander, delete hidden.img and rename the file without the .md5 extension.
Only leave .tar at the end of the file name.

pure BS. MagicISO or Daemon tools cannot open this file.

Ignorance is a bliss. Go google yourself on simg2img instead of following a 4 year old tip
