Odin ROM Package Builder v1.3 for 64-bit Linux based systems
-------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Pre-Rooting Process:
---------------------
Extract the pre-root_rel_1.3.tar.gz to your Home folder to create a 'pre-root_rel_1.3' working directory.
Extract and place ALL files from a Stock Odin flashable package to the 'source' folder.
Open a Terminal and navigate to the pre-root working folder.
For Example: cd /home/*username*/pre-root
---------------------------------------------------------
Then make sure the binaries have executable permissions:
---------------------------------------------------------
chmod 777 ./rebuild_system
chmod 777 ./build_rom
chmod 777 ./build_kernel
chmod 777 ./build_modem
chmod 777 ./build_csc
-----------------------------------------------
To rebuild the 'System Image' as 'Pre-Rooted':
-----------------------------------------------
You must first edit the param.cfg file and change the variables to match your ROMs files.
Save the file and type the following in the Terminal:
./rebuild_system
Notice that the correct system image size used for rebuilding is calculated for you automatically during the process.
Note: You will then be prompted to enter '[sudo] password'. This is the password you chose when you installed Linux.
When the process has finished, the Original 'System Image' in the 'source' folder will be replaced by the newly created 'Pre-Rooted' 'System Image'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
To Rebuild 'source' files back into an Odin flashable ROM package:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Type the following in the Terminal:
./build_rom
You will then be guided to name your Odin package before rebuilding.
'Enter Device Model' - For Example: I9505
'Enter Sales Code' - The CSC letters for example: 'BTU' for UK.
'Enter PDA Version' - For example: 'XXUBMGA_PRE-ROOTED'.
'Enter Phone Version' - Version of Modem. For example: 'XXUBMGA'.
'Enter CSC Version' - For example 'OXXBMG3'.
The package will then be rebuilt and finally an MD5 checksum will be added.
Your finished package will be then placed in the 'output' folder.
-----------------------------------
Other binaries within this package:
-----------------------------------
build_kernel - Allows you to package the Kernel file into an Odin Package.
build_modem - Allows you to package the Modem file into an Odin Package.
build_csc - Allows you to package the CSC files into an Odin Package.
----------------------------------------------------
This package is configured for I9505 by default.
----------------------------------------------------
If you get any errors you may have missing packages
just look at the error and install the relavant
package. Everything should then work fine.
