[08/03/2019] AMlogic Tools [7.1.0][A new milestone][Donate Version Available] - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

So, AMlogic have a horrible way of dropping support for their tools.
Decided to make a few of my own. More stable, more efficient and (no longer opensource)!
Also, with the versions of the tools, i decided to base it on the latest version of the amlogic tool and increment it by 1.

Me again!!! Glad to subscribe to your second thread mate!
I dunno if I am happier about actually using the Poison ROM...... Or in fact, these tools here that let me get rid of amlogics cheap nasty undeveloped Asian $h!t ! ....I honestly don't know how THEY flash millions of units efficiently using their tool, i have always thought they must have there own tool at HQ or flash direct to chip before making there boxes!?
Anyways.... I no longer worry about that now! as I no longer dread plugging my amlogics into my PC anymore! (Usually a nervous time for ANYONE dealing with this software!) Thanks to this project!
I have been purely playing around now for last few hours since release..... My Verdict???
Sorry Ricky mate.... It ain't good...
Its f*%king GREAT!!!! WOW!!
I have been patiently waiting on the ROMS progress and thinking that's what I want!..."Hurry up with that bloody PC tool!" BUT... In fact, this has made me a lot happier! And I realise exactly how much this will shape the future for all amlogic users and how important this is to poison ROMs future!
This has twice the features I ever expected! I have realised how much work has gone into this project! I can only imagine! So when I get paid I will post a small donation for all this you give us, thank you!
*if only another 2 or 3 people would follow suit then Ricky can get another s912 unit sorted and help this guy develop the ROM we all enjoy* OH! AND actually let the poor guy use his own ROM!! Lol!
As I said on my first post on the other thread... I am a junior developer that discovered you and your work through googling ROM features I wanted/had planned to make, so I just wanted you to know that I hope to be the first ROM released using this software! (I have some great ideas!) (I'll have to PM the details over!)
And finally if there is ANYTHING I can do to help you or your projects move forward towards greatness...PLEASE let me know! Happy to test for you whilst you get the TV box sorted, I'm sure whiteteaks hands must be pretty full too!
THANK YOU!!!
P.S Im about to delete all amlogic programmes off of my PC!

Happy to hear the great feedback, this is a big learning curve for me aswell, prior to this i had no idea on assuming programatically generated algorithms, programatically copying byte by byte from hex address to hex address..
but all i can say is what a turn out!
My next mission is to create USB Burning tool with a much better/safer way of flashing, and unlike AMLogics USB burning tool, you will be able to select what partitions to flash
But first i wanna release PoisonRom V3.0 as im more then likely going to brick my device(possibly to an unrecoverable state)..
But this will be a stepping stone towards innovating AMLogic devices
EDIT: as i still dont have a working TV, i havent tested the flashing process of the compiled ROM, so if you could, within custom recovery just flash the ROM(ofcoarse taking a backup prior) and let me know the result, also prior to compiling into a flashable zip, try the change wallpaper option and see if everything goes sweet

EDIT: everything works..

Hello again Ricky,
Sorry for the seemingly late reply, timezones! UK to OZ!!!
Well done!
No problem at all mate, I'm all backed up as per usual and ready to test V3 using your tools whenever your ROM is ready!!
Before it rolls out i could record the flash process so you can see it!! And I'll log it too and send over.
Now... First flash, to test it, you reckon I should flash stock firmware for my device quickly as it came with (previously) incompatible build?:
* 2GB/16GB-7.1.2 * ?
If not I can try with newer stock firmware, the newer build is actually version 7.1.1 for the device I have in mind (AlfaWise H96 Pro dongle) that is how I got on PoisonRom.
Oh! And congrats on Aroma!! Yeahhhhbuddyyyy!

if your changing android version(eg. going from android 7.1.1 to 7.1.2) you must flash stock firmware with USB Burning tool or sd boot card maker, until i can find a way to bypass AMLogics ****ty security implemention(still unsure if bootloader or UBOOT or DTB)
I tested the flash option last night at my sisters house, seems like im getting the gist of this blind coding lol
it worked flawlessly
So in theory its as simple as using my customization tool to make your own custom ROM from stock firmware
Id still like to improve EXT4 FS handling a little better, i seen a good bunch of opensource tools for handling EXT4 FS in C#, only problem may be is that it has no documentation on if it supports compressed FS

Seems like my tools do it better, ill be updating CustomizationTool soon with big changes to the unpacker + the feature to verify if sha1 sums are correct on unpack
As you can see, my generates wayyyyy more files then standard customization tool
Im also gonna add re-pack to USB burn image and unpack update.zip(packed for recovery)

---

Updating in within the next hour
Changes
-Customization tool performs partition verification checks on unpack
-Much faster and unpacking in customization tool
-Optimized code for customization tool
-Added new opensource tool - AMLUnpacker(executable and C# class)
Im not adding the abillity to repack as im unable to see how the first 4 bytes of the file generate the .img files CRC32 hash

---

thanks good job for this tool :good:
zip please
