How to turn an RUU into a flashable ROM

---

I'm sorry to say I have no idea but I'm now determined to learn how and I think I'll start with a linux partition.

Anyone care to join me?

I think the Avabox that avaluanchemods posted up included the files to pull out the files from the .img, after that wouldn't it be just like modifying another ROM (with a lot more to mod, of course, to gain root, etc.)?

nope, this ruu is different
doesn't work like that.
well, once you have the images you can use yaffs, for the system image, but getting the images from the ruu...

Hahaha yeah, getting the images from the ruu is a blast!

u guys want the new sprint ruu turned into a flashable update.zip? isn't that what damages 2.06 basically is? if not i'll do it for you.

I think it's really more that they wanna learn how. Anyone down to throw out some pointers?? I'd be interested to learn too

I was actually just looking into pulling the files from the ruu myself.

extract the exe file. unyaffs the system.img. make an update-script in META-INF/com/google/android/. zip the boot.img META-INF/ folder, and system/ folder and sign it. nothing more to it. lol

this is a link to the files i use. you must have linux installed to use them as well as pearl which should be installed on most distros. you'll prob have to chmod them executable if you download them.

any questions post them and i'll try to help. i'm glad to see people trying to learn.
