Is there any kind of tool FOR Android that can extract a boot image from a payload.bin? Or do you basically need a PC for the task? I do it all the time from my desktop, but a tool to do it on my phone itself would be super convenient if it exists somewhere. Thanks guys!

There's a high likelihood that Termux can do it. If you have a payload.bin that you can link me I'll try it. I think it can run these python scripts assuming there's nothing wrong with them.

Here's a download link for the latest OxygenOS build for a OnePlus 7 Pro: https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156267635
I tried to run the python script with Termux, it said it couldn't execute the script, permission was denied. I granted it superuser too. Try it out, I may have done it wrong. Thanks man! [emoji16]
EDIT: You'll have to extract the payload.bin, that link is to a full flashable rom zip.

I think I know what happened. Was the file on an sdcard? Because scripts can't run there, and I totally forgot about that. You normally have to copy the file into termux's home location. /data/data/com.termux/files/home If you get permission denied there, then change the group owner, and user to what's in the screen shot and it'll work. You can avoid that situation entirely though, by downloading the file directly into Termux's home folder using wget. For those scripts to run you'll need to install python and protobuf too. From termux run, (without root), pkg install protobuf & pkg install python.
I'm going to try extracting that. Downloading it now.
Edit: I tried but I can't get it to work. The scripts error out because it's expecting some kind of info from Google. I tried adjusting the metainfo structure to match a pixel device and it got further into the process, but it still gives an error. What do you use on pc? I might be able to port it to Termux.

Hi guys,
Couldn't find the answer to this anywhere but I noticed in the newer releases of busybox there's no 'zip' command anymore. I'm running busybox 1.19 on my Incredible.
I have been using this command to create different bootanimation.zip files from my phone but am wondering if there is an alternative command I can use from within Android. I've tried tar -cvzf but I believe tar archives/compresses the files differently and renaming the extensions to .zip does not work.
Any ideas besides using an actual PC to do what I want to do?
Thanks,
Zebdor

There are apps out there such as AndroZip, that essentially creates zip files.
If you are doing this for an app, there are built in zip classes in Java.
java.util.zip.*;
Edit: Just realized you asked for it to be command line. I will keep looking!
Yeah, I used to use 'zip -0r ...' to zip up a folder but for some reason the busyboxes I've tried downloading don't come with the zip command anymore...
I'm looking through the BusyBox source...
Does it have to be .zip? I mean there are plenty of others to choose from such as tar, gz, bz.
I can't find anything on the website why it is left out.
Best of luck

I was thinking of using tar and gz but every tutorial I've read says Android requires the bootanimation to be in .zip format uncompressed. I even tried tarballing it as bootanimation.tar but it didn't work...
did anyone ever find an answer to this?
im currently trying to find a portable binary for just zip (or something like busybox that includes zip) because im trying to automate creation of a cwm zip ON an android device during the installation of another cwm zip

This seems to work fine: https://code.google.com/p/zip-for-android/people/[email protected]
I thought I was crazy...
I have surely been missing the zip command too... I just got done downloading and about to reboot into recovery to install...
Zarchiver is a free app in the market that i use to.make boot animation zips and any other kind of zip on my Android device.
hi friends, can any one tell me how to create a .zip file using terminal?
if yes,
can i set compression levels?
Nobody?
sent from my smultron
I don't think you can. The zip command isn't recognized in the terminal emulator. Try typing tar, you can use that, you can then chose which compression method you prefer.

Yes indeed, and I'll shamelessly add another post to my count.
I couldn't be bothered to try it out myself yet as I haven't really had the time to mess about. But the following seems like a way to get the zip package installed on your phone. First install opkg through the adb shell, then you can get the zip package installed. Once that's done you should at least be able to zip files, no idea if you can change compression parameters.
How to get opkg, well I'm not going to simply copy other people's work.
And unfortunately I'm not allowed to post links yet. However searching google for installing opkg manager on android and or linux tools coming to mcr should do the trick. First results each time.

This make_ext4fs works for flashing on macOS
For some reason with this build the system-icons vanish for me after restarting the device once :/
I had much better results using this build.
Also by default (at least with the image I linked) only two of the 6 cpu-cores are enabled. To fix that one must add this under the init-section of the /init.loire.pwr.rc file and reboot (All credit for this go to abranson from the #sailfishos-porters irc).
Thanks for this port! are you planning to continue building for Xperia X or is a test build before official release?

Flashing works on macOS too. You just need to use the make_ext4fs I linked instead of the one linked on top.

extract the tar, open a terminal inside the extracted folder and run ./flash.sh
One question. Zip file with AOSP should be moved intact or only vendor folder from inside it?
Seems it has to be whole .zip.

Sure thing
First of all your bootloader needs to be unlocked. I'm assuming you already did that but if not you should read about backuping your drm-keys because otherwise they can't be recovered after unlocking your bootloader unless you do that.
If you don't have fastboot installed yet follow this guide.
After that download the first file linked at the top of this thread.
Unpack the archive (if you can't open it I recommend "the unarchiver" from the app-store).
Place both this file and the zip from the third link at the top in the unpacked folder (in the path where the flash.sh is). Don't unpack the .zip file!
After that open a terminal and navigate to your unpacked folder (if you don't know how to do that google for "terminal tutorial mac").
Run
Code:
chmod +x flash.sh
chmod +x make_ext4fs
to mark the flash-script and the make_ext4fs-file as executable.
Boot your device into fastboot mode (hold volume up while it's turned off and plug in your usb-cable) and finally run
Code:
./flash.sh
to install sailfishOS on the device.
If there is a "hybris-recovery.img" file in the directory (can't quite remember if that's the case with this build) also run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery hybris-recovery.img
to install a sailfishOS specific recovery.
After that you can reboot your device and enjoy Sailfish OS
@Jozinek
You didn't unpack the .tar.bz, inside are all files needed to flash. Than You have to move make_ext4fs, AOSP.zip and flash.fs into created (by unpacking) folder and start/cd Terminal there.

Edit3 - it worked now, it was bad make_ext4fs, thanks all of you

Right now there is no windows support. The final build (which will be officially sold by Jolla) will make windows-installation possible.
If you know your way around cygwin you could probably get it to flash using windows (other than the flash.sh script there's nothing *nix-exclusive).
Is the rom stable enough for daily use ? and is Alien Dalvik available in this rom to run Android apps ?
no android dalvik or any software that needs license, this version is just community version like aosp without play store.
when flashing there's error make_ext4fs: no such file or directory, when i use the second one there's error: wrong exec format
@MikeChannon, please delete this.

Go to 01-Project folder, then temp folder and rename for the format you need: system.img, system.new.dat or system.new.dat.br, then restart application and recover the project.

Hi @najabi
I used a tool to compile .bat to .exe, may be its a false positive. I use that program because it can add administrative privileges. But now I put administrative privileges to .bat inside. Just use .bat from here: https://github.com/jamflux/SUR/raw/master/SUR.bat
Can't open?

Hi JamFlux,
I tried to unpack a vendor .zip with the utility using the .bat but I got an error anyway.
I think it's best to use scripting commands than .exe binaries when possible, they are easier to spot and analyse. You can use administrative command promt aswell. Which tool do you use to make executables from .bat files? Is it from reputable sources?

In my opinion, I don't think it's a reputable tool, the developer's webpage doesn't work, and uptodown is not exactly a trusted source.
We must be extra careful these days as they put virus everywhere in executables.
That SUR.exe file is detected as infected by several engines, I think you should consider removing it from the tool.

Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I've spent last day automating the guide at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-t220-t225-flash-a-gsi-on-the-a7-lite-without-twrp.4456821/ into a bash script (linux only)!
Here it is releasing it for anyone that needs it
Code:
I am not responsible whatever happens to your device
by using this script, i have tested it on my own device
and it worked but it may or may not work for you.
I will do my best to help you but that may be limited
as i have other responsibilities in life
Before starting read the third post
UsageDownload the your desired firmware from somewhere like samfw.com and extract it
Download your desired GSI image and extract it
Download otatools-mini, gsi-build script and vbmeta image, place them all together inside one directory (extract the otatools-mini next to the script)
Download patched odin
Run this in Linux or WSL!
Code:
$ ./build-gsi.sh <PATH TO YOUR AP FILE .tar.md5> <PATH TO GSI .img>
And let it do the work, may take a while depending on your PC
You may get something like this in the process, ignore it
Code:
Invalid sparse file format at header magic
Then go into download mode (VOLUME UP and DOWN when plugging in USB) and flash the CUSTOM_AP file you got from the script and BL, CSC from the firmware you used, DO NOT USE HOME_CSC
Reboot into recovery and factory reset (VOLUME UP while booting)!
If you are getting dm-verify error then flash the vbmeta_disabled_R (it needs to be .tar, extract it) in odin as AP and try rebooting again into recovery
DownloadsI used to provide one archive but it was large and i couldnt change the script without reuploading it so i am going to use gist for the script and provide other files separately
ota-tools-mini
build-gsi.sh
Getting HelpIf you want me to help you ALWAYS post full output from the script, and make sure to use the latest script from the gist
I've spent a lot of time trying to make it work with all GSIs but i could not get it to work consistently
By default it works for all smaller GSIs, if you get the following error
Code:
ERROR: Output image is bigger than original super image, rerun the script with correct super image size
Then you will have to manually provide the new super size which i cannot help you with try to guess but it has to be divisible by 512
Not enough free space to expand partition: vendor

i have a lot of space . but it shows me like that

Also from my experience you do not need to patch whole AP file for magisk, you just need to patch the boot.img, zip it then flash it
