Create a ROM format KDZ
It is strictly forbidden to copy this tutorial or parts of it in another forum, blog or website without the authorization of the author.
KDZ is the official format that uses LG to update their devices.
Each device has different content, in this case, the LG P700 (L7) contains a DLL and a DZ file.
DLL is a library and the DZ is a tablet in a series of files, which are known as firmware BIN.
A series of tools which I list below are needed to be able to compile a ROM:
All these programs run in Windows
- DZCreate packaging DZ (Copsfrance) archives
- DZDecrypterr unpacks DZ (Copsfrance) archives
- UpTestEX compiles files KDZ. (to make it work first should run windows_enable and activate it)
First of all, with the help of DZCreate package archive DZ, follow the instructions in Copsfrance
PROCEDURE
Here I will try to explain how to create a firmware flasheable in format KDZ for LG P700 L7, L3, L5, or any device with this structure.
We will use the program UpTestEX, this serves to create a KDZ file and also for flashing or test firmware.
We will have to have created the folder structure, only to have an order, this is the same that suggested us Serj
c:\newFW\
c:\newFW\apps\ (where have all the applications and programs)
c:\newFW\OUT\ (where will be stored to the created firmware, eye that will erase that contains)
c:\newFW\Source\ (where we have un-compile and custom firmware)
c:\newFW\Temp\ (this is obvious, temporary directory)
COMPILING KDZ
1-. Select the Flash system, for the L700 select 3GQCT
2-. Work Directory: will have to put the path where to save the created KDZ firmware
3-. Version: the name of the version that we are going to compile.
4-. Select model.dll: the path and name of the DLL for the phone, this is extracted from a Stock KDZ, for the L7 is QCT_P700_20120706.dll
5-. Click on the arrow next to Add and select DZ and add archive DZ
6-. Mark Merge 250-390MB size file:
7-. Now click on Merge to compile the firmware in a file KDZ
That's it, I hope it helpful.
