How to RUU another official rom without touching AlphaRevX's S-off

Sry for my poor English. This is for ppl who flash RUU-AU-OPTUS rom mainly to get S-OFF, then wanna flash back the rom they were using before they patching the AlphaRevX.
Here are the simple steps:
1, get the rom.zip from another RUU*.exe, i mean the one you want.
2, unzip the rom.zip into many img files
3, delete the hbootXXXX file. and if you want keep clockworkmod, delete recovery file as well.
4, use 7-zip to add all those files into a new .zip file (no winrar, 7-zip only)
5, rename the new .zip into the PG32IMG.zip , copy into sdcard, reboot into hboot and flash.
6, remember do a factory reset, cuz the AU_OPTUS rom will leave some funny area settings and data in the phone.
edit: sry i missed, goldcard is a must!!! make your sdcard a gold card b4 doing all these. thx 007!

Hi, tried this method just now but nothing happened.
Tried flashing it like you described as PG32IMG.zip it looks like it is running the flash but no change after reboot.
Tried also with recovery (install from zip) but unfortunately doesn't work also.
Am i forgetting something in the process?

Your missing goldcard...
This is also explained in the downgrade guide in this forum

Always something missing . Thanks.

didnt you just forgot to make changes to some specific text file as well?
like erhm, removing last line of it?
like erhm...
hbootpreupdate o.0?
just a wild guess

You can make it yourselt.
1. Use Root Explorer to get your framework-res.apk file
2. Go to http://uot.dakra.lt/ to customize it yourselt.
3. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707 to download the Root-i9001-Signed.zip

If you use manveru0's kernal and recovery you can now flash the update files as they come from the kitchen

I use Go launcher (from my opinion it's the best), if you think otherwise please post the better launcher, I am opened to experiment others.
Many thanks,

I don't have a I9001XXKP4 Rom in my hard drive. If you can send your your framework-res.apk, I can make one for you.

hey guys!
just used this. twice great kitchen, really revamped some of the more boring icons on stock roms. thanks for the tip!!

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.

its only for XXKP4

urm, Ive tried to do as you told in post number 2(by cooking it according to my own preference)
but my problem starts from step number 5
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.

I already received the cooked file
but I dont know how to change the update script and end up failing to update using the zip file.
can you please help me?
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
(status 2)
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?
I have baseband I9001XXKPF, Build XXKPG

I update the zip file with the new update-binary file.

Yes, I just use the recovery from Samsung, not the third-party.
Check the post #2, that's the steps. Also replace the update-binary file with the one in my zip file.

[Q] CWM Recovery: patching backups; updating CM

Some simple (I hope) questions. Let's say I do a full CWM backup and copy the complete backup directory to my desktop. If I now want to change something inside this backup can I simply change the relevant .tar.a file(s), write their new checksums into nandroid.md5, copy everything back to the sd card and expect the whole thing to work?
No 2: I have just let the HD+ update itself to cm-10.1.3-ovation (final) and all went swimmingly. However, I saw that the update is not done incrementally, instead the whole zip is downloaded and the /system tree simply overwritten with its contents. I had put some bits and pieces into /system/app and /system/bin and modified a few files inside of /system, all of which changes were of course gone. So a better update strategy might be to download any new version from the CM website to a desktop machine, patch the .zip file there and then have CWM install it. Can CWM install such an update file like any other .zip or is the update.zip route the correct way?
Or perhaps the best way to update in such a scenario is to download the .zip, sync it with an existing CWM backup (as in the first question) and restore the backup?!

If you get the md5 sum right editing the tar should work.
You can edit the downloaded zip before you flash it and it will still install. But editing after install is about the same amount of work.
What I used to do on the Nook Color was to modify the gapps zip to add the /system changes I wanted and then reflashed the gapps every time I flashed a new ROM. That way gapps were refreshed and the new changes were inserted in /system. Or, you could make your own zip to flash only your changes. The easiest way to make one is to edit the gapps zip to put your changes in and then delete the gapps files from the zip.
Do these zip changes with archive software without totally unzipping and rezipping.
Edit: Since some of my changes were modifications to build.prop, I developed a script to edit the new ROM's build.prop on the fly as part of the zip. That way build date, etc stayed right. If you want, I can use PM to send you a copy of my old edited gapps for you to study. However, since you are on CM10.1 stable, you will probably not be updating again.

> If you get the md5 sum right editing the tar should work.
Okay, thanks for the confirmation.
> You can edit the downloaded zip before you flash it and it will still install.
But how do I trigger that install, once in CWM? That was my 2nd question.
> But editing after install is about the same amount of work.
Not in my case as I have a) no MTP and b) can easily auto-sync huge directory trees with a powerful command line tool.
I think the best way forward is to ignore the installing of new install .zips via CWM, however this is done. Instead I'll produce a nandroid-compatible backup directory and "restore" that.
Thanks again for your help.

You don't trigger it, you manually boot to CWM and manually install it. Go to install zip from SD and choose where you put it.
And by editing after install, I meant editing /system once it is installed on the Nook.

When to flash recovery?

I found this site on how to root my Touchpad:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390829
and this one on how to install CM onto it:
http://chrisbryson.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-install-android-on-hp-touchpad.html
But nothing mentions when/how to install CWM (or one of the ones listed below) as shown on the CM nightly page found below
-PhilZ Clockworkmod 6.0.4.7 (non-touch)(will backup and restore in both cwm and twrp format)
-Milaq's ClockworkMod 6.0.5.4
-Flintman's TWRP

At what place would I flash the Recovery?

To install android you will create a folder on the touchpad called cminstall.
This folder contains the three files needed to install android - moboot, cwm and whichever version of android you prefer. Optionally you can flash gapps from this folder too.
There are much better tutorials on the web and this site than the ones you quote - the first is irrelevant to installng android, and there are better ones here on xda than the second.
Also the recoveries you mention are for installing kitkat which requires repartitioning of the file system. Prob best to stick to JB for now

I found a tutorial here:

But when I attempt to extract the Acme Installer - I downloaded ACMEInstaller5M - but when I try to extract with 7Zip to the Nova Directory it keeps giving me an error?

You don't need to extract the acmeinstaller file, just place it in Program Files/Palm, Inc, open up a terminal window and enter in the command to run it.
Of course, you do this after you have set up your cminstall folder on the touchpad.
A word of advice - I find it useful to have 2 copies of the rom you want to flash - one in the cminstall folder, and one in the root folder of the touchpad. This is because sometimes the flashing process with acme can be a bit funny, and it automatically deletes the files in cminstall once its done. I've flashed a couple of touchpads with acme and Android hasn't installed properly, so having a backup somewhere else on the touchpad is useful.

It's been awhile since I have had to use acme but I believe it is a jar file so either use a different browser to download or change the file extension from (.zip to .jar).
Unfortunately I am not at my PC but can check later if someone else is unable to confirm this.

status 7 error

I flash from old C-ROM (JP) to C-ROM 6.6 (KK)
and get "status 7 error" :crying:
what's the solution?

Status 7 = Bad updater script
There are two ways to correct the
status 7 error. I'm going to tell you the
easier one (atleast i think so )
So, you need a computer for that.
Now, lets begin.
Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your
computer and extract it using your
favorite unzipping software.
Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the META-INF/com/google/android
directory. You will find two files called
“update-binary” and “updater-script”.
Step 3. Rename “updater-script” to
“updater-script.txt” and open with your
favorite text file editor.
Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually
this is the first line or one of the first
lines at the top of the text file.
Step 5. Save file.
Step 6. Rename “updater-script.txt”
back to “updater-script”.
Step 7. Rezip all the files you’ve
unzipped.
Step 8. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.
Step 9. Try re-installing ROM, now it
should install fine without Status 7
error.
Ps :- I'm assuming that you are rooted and have a KK recovery already.
