can someone tell me how to repack the RAMdisk into .img file please
thank you
p.s
i'm building kernel for the xperia x8 and it has no fastboot support
I think pl scripts and makebootimg,(it's been a while since i did that) search you'll find many tuts.
Think there is a simplified tool by ketut, search for ketut kumajaya dev tools.

that is all i can propose as i canno't see correctly the attached image.it is tool little for my eyes.
hope it would help.
DSIXDA'S Android Kitchen does it this automatically.
when working folder has been setup:
0 > 12 > w (to extract boot.img)
then you will get BOOT-EXTRACED, inside there will be a ramdisk folder, once finished editing enter "b" to build the boot.img again

You're welcome :good:
The boot.img is a small(ish) file that contains 2 main parts, the kernel (the brain of the Android system) and the ramdisk (a core set of instructions and binaries that begins the boot process and controls base aspects of the system, such as mountpoints, memory management and startup services. It is often flashed via fastboot command.
We don't have this in our ROMs.

For xperia series... I own a xperia u
There are several mods bt require individual replacement of files and changing of permissions
I intend replacement of a system app wid the new app
Regarding second question of mine
Is it possible to have cwm recovery that can work without switching off the device ( make a nandroid backup takes a lot of time in my xu almost 20 minutes during which the network is off)

What you should do is download a theme for the xu and just leave the META-INF folder in the theme.zip alone and edit the rest of the folders to your liking.

Not really. Just use 7zip. The Apks are the ones that usually need to be signed. As long as you use the original theme.zip you would download and just replace apks inside you shouldnt have any problems

There is a guide that covers edify scripting. That should help you make an update.zip yourself from scratch.

Writing an update script from scratch is not only time consuming but also risky.If you don't know what you are doing, then you should stay away from writing it from scratch

How to use on PhilZ-blackhawk-repack.zip to make it flashable ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39935850&postcount=89)
Extract "recovery.img" from PhilzBlackhawk.zip and convert?
I made a new script for you Look´s a littlebit nicer.
I like how you just copy-pasted a bunch of cygwin files.
i haven't knowen how to convert on windows untill this post.
i think it's ok for copy&paste in this case,or do you have any other idea without setting up a linux (e.g. virtual maschine)?

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that you can make a flashable zip using the recovery.img? Thats what it already does.
Here's the part in the updater script :
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");
delete("/tmp/recovery.img");

Yeah.
But I already made one that installs next kernel at the same time. It doesnt make any root files thats what philz does automaticly.

@Luigi2012SM64DS just a suggestion, you created with kernel 1.6 which is not compatible for stock 4.2.2 so it can't applied.
it will be great if you create it without kernel, only recovery and superSU

Acutally I can do everything all up to rebuilding the cache.img. That one step REQUIRES Linux. Luckily my stupid brain remembered my laptop with Linux on it so I'm using that right now.

@Android-Andi Oh wait. I wasn't making it clear. This tool just takes a recovery.img and makes it into a Odin flashable tar.md5. To root you need the recovery AND a cache.img. Since I have to modify the cache.img I can't do it in windows since the tools are only made for Linux. And I actually canceled the upload since next 1.8 or next 2.0 is right around the corner.

The best way to learn this is to pull apart a already created zip and see what is done. I involves a few lines in the updater script and boot.img with kernel and recovery

Here you go.
Once you unzip vendor.zip, you will see that 'lib' folder is missing,
so unzip the lib.zip and move lib folder inside vendor folder.
due to xda's 'rules' about attachment, i had to do this, sorry about that.
