[AROMA] Backup & Restore Kernel V1.0

BACKUP & RESTORE YOUR KERNEL

Tool by hnkotnis

Version Alpha RC1

Hello again! We have tools to backup kernel (chamatht's method) and restore it (faqbly's method),
But there is not any SINGLE TOOL to do both. So I thought Aroma by Amarullz would be the
one stop solution for that. CWM cannot backup Kernel. I know Madteam's can do but it cannot restore it. Also taking whole NANDROID backup just for a less than 8 MiB file is crazy idea.

I worked on it from afternoon and at evening I present it to the developer's community.

This tool can do both backup and restore of kernel.

Tested and working on -
1) Stock Kernel,
2) Hell's Fusion #50,
3) Kuro's Kernel.

Screenshots -
Only Backup Screenshots uploaded, restore are similar.

Instructions-
1) Put zip in root of SD Card and flash with CWM.
2) Choose language, Theme for the process.
3) Next agree the T&C
4) In next screen, there are 4 options -
a) Backup/Restore.
b) System Info (I am still wondering why I added this anyway

)
c) Changelog
d) Quit without doing any backup/restore.

Credits-
amarullz for his amazing Aroma Installer.
Myself hnkotnis for creating this thing.
You for using this and (If applicable) pressing the Thanks button

:laugh:

Please report how it works in comments and if you have any suggetions, send me a PM.

Sorry for bad (rather worst) screenshots, but my SLR Camera cells were discharged. So I had to capture from my father's Galaxy Ace. They look bit better from computer.

the joys of me being an adult lol - i'll see if I can do it for you

edit - unfortunatly ADB is not working in recovery mode in windows 8.1 - works fine when the phone is booted but it keeps disconnecting in recovery mode so adb cant find a connection - If I cant find a solution you will have to do it when you get time

I did not copy anything from their work. Not a single line of code. I created commands with my knowledge of Linux and updater-script (I am using it since Red Hat). So no need to credit them.
I mentioned them because they are related.

I will try. But I don't have that device. So please give me any flashable zip of your phone. (Any working one will do; smaller the size, better for me to download and extract porting files)
Then I will try to do it.

@luqman98
Please enter following command on terminal and tell me result.
(If no info comes, then commands in this tool will work)

Code:

# cat /proc/mtd

And I require any modification's working flashable zip. Or you can give me META-INF of any stock based custom ROM.

1. Nothing is showing after typing cat /proc/mtd.
2. The updater script is attached below.

Good. It means that this tool will use same commands.

I asked you for META-INF. Not updater-script.
Specfically I need updater-binary.

Do I need to upload my META-INF for you? :3
