[TOOL] RomGen

[ChinmayKunkikar]

Use an android terminal emulator on your device. You can download it from the Play Store. If your device is emmc....

Type and enter:

cat /proc/emmc

See picture for an example... The picture will show a list of partitions. Those partitions are specific to my device (not yours).

Yeah thanks a lot!

Mine worked with

cat /proc/devices

But still cannot find the boot.img partition.

@cpkunki, try cat /proc/mtd then. As for cat /proc/devices, that command will not provide you with what you are looking for.

The file /proc/mtd doesn't exist for me.
And I think I got that path.
Will tell you.

Edit -
Yes I got it!
Found it through the updater script of a kernel.

@munjeni , Mate please take a look at this, it says to give the permissions manually. What permissions should be given to that busybox?

[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cd /data/local/tmp
d 755 romgen <
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard0/rom.zip <

device name = MT27i
device name2 = pepper
system partition = /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
data partition = /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
cache partition = /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 boot partition = /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
writing zip to = /sdcard0/rom.zip

Hey, getting the same error again.
After chmod 755 to busybox, I run the script again.
After running, it wipes off the old rom folder and creates a new one. This creates the problem. So, it again gives error in giving perm to busybox.

Were you able to create the rom successfully @Modding.MyMind ?

Yea, and my busybox is set to perm 755 so it can have in addition, executable rights.

@Modding.MyMind , I was able to do it perfectly with adb yesterday.
Thanks for your every tip and help.
And thanks @munjeni for this tool!

That file is a shell script. Run the file within your android terminal and it will give instructions on how to use it.
I normally run it from /data/local/tmp. Just a personal preference.

The romgen.zip is in my sdcard1
I installed Terminal Emulator, but I don't know how to open that
I'm not even an amateur in programming. Please help me how to run it
Should I extract it?

Extract the zip. Grab the romgen file and place it at /data/local/tmp. Open up the terminal app.

Change directories to /data/local/tmp:

cd /data/local/tmp

Now give the file permissions:

chmod 755 name_of_file

Then, execute the file:

./name_of_file

Make sure you gain root access. Type and enter, su, then proceed again as I instructed you in my last post.

Here are two pics of Romgen location and Terminal Emulator screen
I entered as you said, but nothing happens
In which part I am doing wrong?

[Modding.MyMind]

Add ./ before romgen.

It should look like this:

chmod 755 ./romgen
