Haha, slightly faster.
A tip for you : if you want to create a fast root image, you can create a tarball of an existing rooted image in adb shell and extract that to your working-system image (the one to be rooted):
Code:
tar -cpvzf preroot-pack.tgz /system/app/Superuser.apk /system/app/su /system/xbin/
(including the /system/xbin if you have busybox, so that you don't have to do the tedious flash+repack method)

Hi Yakandu,
Thanks a lot for this piece of code, it helps me understant how to customize firmware
I have a question about that. When the script finishes, how do you use the system2.img created ? Is Flashtool able to use it or do you have a way to get a system2.sin back ?
Cheers.

Thanks for the help.
But I want to make root without changing the kernel (DoomKernel), because I've been reading that has some minor bugs.
The methods I mentioned just above, are correct?
The script given here quite help alot but I'm still blur about root the firmware...

Related
Because propoff2 got himself banned, I've decided to re-create his threads for you, hopefully with easier to follow instructions than before.
X8 Android 2.1-rus
X8 Android 1.6
Modified Image (x8.img)
Data.img
Busybox, Rootshell, Chargemon
(If for whatever reason any of the above links don't work, scroll down and see propc's post.)
Before moving on, decide whether you want to boot the rom from the sdcard or from the internal memory, then use the correct instructions to do so.
If you've tried this method and REALLY don't like the customized rom, then see this thread for how to install a clean, pre-rooted rom!
==BOOTING CUSTOM ROM FROM SD==
Before you begin, put chargemon, busybox, rootshell, x8.img and data.img onto the sdcard.
1. Flash 1.6 firmware to the phone.
2. Root the phone.
3. Copy the files rootshell, chargemon and busybox to /system/bin
(You can do this by putting the files on the sdcard, and using a file manager such as root explorer to copy the files into /system/bin. Command line instructions will be here soonish. This guide is still a WIP).
4. Chmod the files.
Code:
chmod 4755 /system/bin/rootshell
chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
chmod 777 /system/bin/chargemon
5. Copy both x8.img (/system) and data.img (/data) to the sdcard.
6. Flash 2.1 kernel using this flashing utility. (The GUI version is perfectly fine to use.)
Remember to remove system.sin and userdata.sin from the flash files!
7. Reboot and hope it works.
==BOOT CUSTOM ROM FROM INTERNAL MEMORY==
Before you being, copy x8.img and busybox on to the sdcard.
1. Follow steps 1-2 from the instructions above.
2. Copy busybox to /data/local/tmp
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/local/tmp/busybox
3. Chmod busybox.
Code:
chmod 755 busybox
4. Using busybox, remount /system as rewriteable.
Code:
./busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
./busybox sh
5. Mount x8.img.
Code:
./busybox mkdir /data/local/tmp/1
./busybox losetup /dev/block/loop1 /sdcard/x8.img
./busybox mount -t ext2 -o rw,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/loop1 /data/local/tmp/1
6. Remove the contents of /system. ADVICE: Remove the folders one by one, leave /system/bin and /system/app last! That way your phone is less likely to crash whilst doing this step. DO NOT TRY AND USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DOING THIS, YOUR PHONE IS CERTAIN TO CRASH! Make sure the phone is locked.
Code:
./busybox rm -rf /system/media
./busybox rm -rf /system/usr
./busybox rm -rf /system/etc
./busybox rm -rf /system/lib
./busybox rm -rf /system/xbin
./busybox rm -rf /system/framework
./busybox rm -rf /system/fonts
./busybox rm -rf /system/drm
./busybox rm -rf /system/build.prop
./busybox rm -rf /system/app
./busybox rm -rf /system/bin
7. Now copy the files into the phone's internal memory. Again, we have to copy these over one by one, as the phone WILL run out of memory during this process! Most important files go first.
Code:
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/bin /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/xbin /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/etc /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/usr /system/
./busybox cp -prf /data/local/tmp/1/build.prop /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/lib /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/framework /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/fonts /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/drm /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/media /system/
./busybox cp -prfR /data/local/tmp/1/app /system/
Hopefully you won't run out of space until you try and copy /app over. No worries! Your phone will still start, and you can easily restore those files after.
8. Flash the 2.1 kernel, and userdata.
Unlike in the previous instructions, you only want to remove system.sin from the flash files! Put userdata.sin back if you've removed it!
9. Turn on your phone and just hope you didn't mess up!
==APPS ON SD==
See this thread: App2SD Mod (Moves dalvik cache to SD) Instructions
ARGH!! MY PHONE IS STUCK IN A ETERNAL REBOOT? WHAT DO I DO?!
Well, if you know for sure what you did, and don't fancy reflashing all over again, then just plug in your phone and use adb to shell into the phone. Quickly fix the problem before the phone reboots!
Just putting this out there: These instructions were roughly written up. If you're having issues, don't be afraid to ask! If you spot any mistakes, please let me know! I'll expand on these instructions later.
All credits go to pulpoff2, for figuring out this solution, and propc for re-uploading the files, discovering steps 6 and 7 in the internal memory instructions, and for helping me fix these instructions multiple times.
Thank you! I will try this as soon as the files are available.
Are there any downsides? Is everything working as before? What about the speed (when loading apps for example)?
Yes, there are a few downsides. While booting from the sdcard, you cannot mount the sdcard via the phone (you'll need to use a card reader, or push/pull files with adb). There may be some performance issues while booting from the sdcard aswell. The camera and the music player also don't work.
However, if you decided to put the rom into the phone's internal memory, all this is fixed! Absolutely no downsides. Unless you don't like the theme, then I guess that is a downside.
thanks for making a new thread, thread pulpoff2 was hacked by ****-arsehole people! maybe.
I don't think so. The site that he used to host the files has been redirected to an anti-muslim site, by the looks of it.
aktw
Thanks man! Really appreciate it! Now I just need your tut for internal memory. Thanks again!
ML
Edit: Can you add app2sd tutorial?
Much more concise internal flashing (for anyone who wants it)
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
cat /sdcard/ext/bin/busybox > /data/local/tmp/busybox
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
./busybox sh
/data/local/tmp/busybox mkdir /data/local/tmp/1
/data/local/tmp/busybox losetup /dev/block/loop1 /sdcard/x8.img
/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -t ext2 -o rw,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/loop1 /data/local/tmp/1
/data/local/tmp/busybox rm -r /system
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp -prf /data/local/tmp/1/* /system
There, the internal memory instructions are up.

Sorrry, I'll edit the OP. What I mean is, flash the 2.1 firmware, but without the files system.sin and userdata.sin (if your doing the sdcard method). This is basically flashing the 2.1 kernel only. Hang in there, the files will be available for download soon.
The custrom rom does not have timescape. You may have to restore ALL apps as there are some missing that will prevent you downloading your providers settings. I'm not sure which it is, so my solution is restoring them all. :-S

What is this custom ROM I keep reading about? What exactly is different there, except for the theme? I would like to see a screenshot of the theme, btw. Is JIT enabled?
Uhh. Probably not. The difference is just the theme, and root on 2.1. Because you can't get root any other way, if I'm not mistaken.

My guess is that you didn't mount the x8.img properly?
Or my cp command could be wrong. OH! Don't copy each app one by one, just the folders!
Don't put /* at the end! That means you are copying the contents of the folder! You want the entire folder on /system !
Ok, this means we have to use this customized ROM to gain root. Thanks for clarifying.
Hello,
This is the my port of the Wildfire 2.1 Eclair Rom for the Mini.
I chose Eclair because the drivers will probably be easier to find like this, you can expect a 2.2 Sense rom to come once the 2.2 AOSP is done.

Developer Notes:
Any Dev interested for testing all my future releases for the mini?
I ask developers for help to try out finding how to get the drivers for the non-working hardware parts to work. Simply said, you need to copy drivers from the SE 2.1 build to this build and report if it worked and which files were used.
Changelog:
v0.2a is up! Prepared the system for future drivers, little faster, ext4 support for apps2sd. Also for the mini fixed xrecovery thanks to peetr_
v0.2 Alpha is up! Fixed a lot: SD, Touchscreen, xRecovery, OpenGL
v0.1 Technical Preview / Pre-Alpha released for developers.

i did try same thing but with clean wildfire [didn't get very far tho] [becouse work on kitchen] ... will download this too and see...
Problems on boot.
Or better no boot at all.
I made a full wipe, flashed the .zip and then these commands:
PHP:
adb shell
cd /system/bin
/system/bin/chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
./busybox --install -s /system/bin
After that reboot and stuck on Sony Ericsson white letters.
tried the mount command too but still no luck
PS: Something weird though. Xrecovery still working on me!

Thanks for the info! This means I have to rebuild the ramdisk to have it work on the x10 mini. Oh one thing I forgot to state is that this NEEDS an ext2 partition on the sdcard (apps2sd not removed yet) and that the first boot will take ages stuck on the bootscreen since it's copying all apps over.
Could you adb pull system/bin/chargemon, open the file in notepad and send the content to me? Of the installed rom, that is.
In the update.zip package there is both an chargemon and chargemon~ file left over from text editing it with Ubuntu. Problem is that I can't acces the file through Nautilus (Ubuntu's version of Windows Explorer)
Hi, i also tried your work and i have the the same state as DarkDog with xRecovery working.
Tried the "logcat" :

Seems like something goes really wrong here....
Mby because the wrong ramdisk or something.
@peetr try to give the "mount" and "ls /system/xbin" commands, mby found something..

Ah yes.. I'll update the commands, you need to
PHP:
adb shell
cd /system/xbin
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
/system/bin/chmod 755 busybox
cd /system/bin
/system/bin/chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
./busybox --install -s /system/bin
Can you see if that works?

Thanks, but I understand that it's booting now on the mini?
The commands that you have to run after installing are updated, would you mind giving it a try?
I think you can write in the first post, that its working on mini. And that we have to install busybox before leaving xrecovery.
But i must say again, it is too slow in this alpha version. Hope it can be faster in later versions.

Well i wait for some updates, then I'm gonna try it
Nice work tho, keep it up !
can you please remove the app2sd so i am able to test it because right now i have an ext3 on my sd card and i am missing my adapter!!! Or at least someone provide a method convert to ext2 mounted from the device e.g. from ubuntu?? Can i do it this way???
First thing, you have to change chargemon to event1 for mini
Froyo can show arabic letters but they are not connected ,any APK to support Arabic letters and connect the letters together ?
thanx in advance
I second this...
Patch your system with Streakdroid 1.7
Copy framework.jar from system\framework
patch it using arabic scripter from ce4arab Add the new framework.jar on Streakdroid 1.7 zip file then do master reset and patch it again
copy libwebcore.so to lib ( you will get it from the same page)
you will get connected letters
Jattal, Have you got a link to the arabic scripter?
how do u patch?

I would just like to add that most people are getting "cp not found error"
use the following commands after rooting and installing busybox
NOTE: what you download from the market is busybox installer... you will have to run it and then install busybox
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
busybox rm /system/app/*.odex
busybox rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
Hope this helps.

Can this be done via root explorer thanks.
Unfortunately it cannot because your device will shutdown on changing the files and it won't be able to boot. The reason why the above commands work is that they freeze your phone in current state while the files are copied and deleted.
However as some adb commands do not run on android 2.2, you need busybox.
Sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't available for a while.

hey!
im developing an app but its a secret what it is about so i cant tell u to mouch
anyways, im needing help with the code.
Q2?
its very similar to the xRecovery installer for the x10, like when u press 'install' button it copys some files to the system folder, how can i do so?
ex: i want to copy derp.sh to /sdcard/derp.sh and the run the 'derp.sh' file all this from the installer.
Q2?
is it possible to send adb commands from the installer to the phone like "adb shell" or run sh files from the installer?
Q3?
is it possile to add a line of text to 'hw_config' file in 'modules' folder?
BTW im not a expert developer so yeah.....

Is it multilanguage firmware, Italian language is included?
How did you do it?
yeah it has italian lang.
for rootiing, after that you have downloaded the stock kdz, follow these steps:
1 - LGExtract.exe -kdz ..\*.kdz
2- extract .cab
3- DZDecrypt *.dz
4- DZExtract -x *.dz
5- mount -o loop -t ext4 system.img.ext /mnt/kdz
6- cp system/bin/su /mnt/kdz/bin/
7- cp system/app/Superuser.apk /mnt/kdz/app/
8- chmod 06755 /mnt/kdz/bin/su
9- ln -s /mnt/kdz/bin/su /mnt/kdz/xbin
10- DZCreate.exe -mE610 -v20E V20D_root.dz
11- create cab with dz + dll
12- create kdz with cab file using UpTestEX_original
I got it :good:
They are commands and tools that you need for creating a kdz ROM rooted. mmm I think there's a way to root your phone with adb shell but I prefer with this one.

how did you push su in dz? (.dz)
you need to mount the ext file for writing inside the su package. You can do it in any linux/BSD or other posix system.
