As i mentioned in thread, WSL 2 is needed to Enable Case Senstive, to check if it's enabled navigate to CRB kitchen, settings and press "Test WSL" if it will bypass, it means you're good to go.

I have tried everything I can think of and I can't get this to work. Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017) SM-t380. I am running Pie stock with no issues. I have downloaded the exact firmware used on my device. I have gone from the simple (remove dm-verify, deknox and deodex only) to the full boat including debloating. When I output using raw->zip, I get the meta file and a boot.img file only. If I do a zip file then I get the meta file, a system file and the boot.img file. No matter what I do either installed the tablet just hangs at the Samsung screen. I have let it sit for hours and nothing. Luckily, I have twrp and a few backups, so I can save it. How should I be using this tool to create a twrp flashable zip?

I appreciate the tutorial, however, it feels like you left some things out, I have built and released roms before but its been a while. So I am wondering could add some more steps, seems that you just dropped it at do the raw image step. Then the OP ends?

How do you flash?
What do you flash with?
Do i just flash the output file in TWRP? All it has is an img and boot

I type this Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature-Online-FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

and get this in return

If you search the original thread on CRB Kitchen he has a really good tutorial on how to install WLS and getting it to work. It took me a couple tries, but I got it installed and the Kitchen working. You do need to run the cmd window in administrator to get it all to work right. I still can't get the outputted ROM to boot right either. I am going to post on the original Kitchen thread to see if I can get an answer.

 

[jhr5474]

I ran everything as admin and it didnt work either. Thanks for your help.

This is the tutorial I ended up following. I had to do the WSL1 install twice as the first time, windows did not perform the update correctly at the restart. Second time worked like a charm.
