I made my first flashable ROM but phone gets into boot loop - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi everybody! I'm struggling to make this work but after some hours I'm done! I need halp
I made a flashable zip (420mb) of my aosp themed rom that i want for personal use but when I flashed it the phone got into bootloop...
what's symlink? how do I make it work?
(It's for my MK16, I sold the SK17 some days ago but i was developing a custom rom so i now work with the pro)
Thanks for any advice
This is the updater script:
show_progress(0.1, 0);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("AOSP Style");
format("MTD", "system");
format("MTD", "cache");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
show_progress(1.2, 83);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.14, 3);
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_progress(0.700000);
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
show_progress(1, 0);
ui_print("");

You need symlinking and set_perm ...
Just use any meta inf without aroma to flash it ( i assume you know that, so wont be explaining clearly) .. make sure all files are right

It's the wrong section...so I'm gonna PM u the reply to that question...

It worked
But now I'm facing 2 bugs:
*On the power menu there's only a power off option
*Physical home button doesn't work
Attached is the script If someone can see what's missing
Thanks to BRAiNCHiLD95 and everyone!

You removed readytorun.apk from system/app ? If yes, then add that app back to your Rom and flash again. script is okay.

script is perfect....home button is a problem in many AOSP roms..when u press it 2-3 times it works right?
Try this:
Setings->Developer Options -> Force GPU Rendering..
about the power menu:

bro that is the sync app for exchange services...what does that have to do with home button/power menu??

I thought the same but removing readytorun.apk I faced the same proble as op. Maybe it has to register first for the first boot or something .
It's worth a try.

Dont flash it! The mount points are all wrong. They are set for the Sensation.
Whats in the script:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/data");
What it should be:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24", "/data");
Good news is you didn't brick it!
Also, if that ever happens again you dont have to drop back to RUU. You can just copy twrp flashable to SD card and just reflash it or flash it from fastboot.
Yeah but the problem was I couldn't get USB to put the recovery back on my sd, so I was stuck haha.
So then who will be the one to get a working ics up before the day is out lol

@ scott thanks for pointing this out - was about to post the same.
@ magnus, you should be ashamed of yourself, this is downright abusive. What if the script had block 34. Did you even look? WTF.

Clearly there is something wrong, my guess is magnus posted a sensation ROM with a renamed zip title to be "first". Which is awesome.
I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. But sure you could try if you want lol.

You need to unpack system.img, change the things you want and repack it. To change the actual code, you'll need apktool and some knowledge of Java/smali
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
First thing I'd say is that if the OP has to ask the above, Dev work is probably a little above their level.
Also, would somebody with a years college level Java be on a good footing to work on such things or would you need to be wholly proficient in the language to start?
Borrowing this thread.
I'm trying to cook a custom rom for my personal use but I'm encountering problems with updater-script. I'm using prerooted .73 Norway generic as a base. I think my problem is that I enabled use of data/app and I can't implement the changes in updater-script. Any help from you guys?
When flashing I get error status 0 every time.
E: I'm using dsixda's Android Kitchen of course. I'm a noob.
Anyone? I've tried almost everything and still I get this (Status 0) error every time. What does it mean?
When we are talking about cooking custom ROM, can someone please upload framework-res.apk AND SystemUI.apk?
You'll find it in /system folder on your phone.

You can't use the META-INF folder from dsixda Android Kitchen. The update script will have mistakes and it has the wrong update binary for the Xperia S.
Take the META-INF folder from my rom or r-ikfoot's rom and edit the update script.
Good luck

I made these additions to your updater-script and it worked!
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
Now all I have to figure out is how to change default wallpaper and browser home page/bookmarks. Current home page is some Telenor website.

Easy Root

Go to recovery
Select install update from sd card (or like that)
Install zip

But I'm not sure on update binary.. we need a update binary which was used with job roms... anyone has a jb rom zip of other devices of Samsung ?
