Root [ROM] Stock, Rooted, Flashable

Alright, the damn thing flashes just fine but is not booting. I can go back and flash the other roms fine..
Maybe because i extracted the system.ext4.img within Windows 7 with this weird program instead of mounting and copying the files from my Fedora machine. I'll try that later.

The boot animation doesn't even come up and it just sits there trying to boot.. but I can go back into recovery and flash the other roms and they boot just fine. All I'm doing is replacing the system in JB Party Time Rush, the boot.img is already stock. Any ideas what I'm missing or doing wrong?
 
look through your updater-script and make sure there isnt anything extra

maybe try removing the boot.img and corresponding line in updater-script because there arent any custom boot.img's so the stock one isnt needed in the zip and it only takes up space

And you should definitely use the method of mounting the img under linux to get a clean rip :D
 
The boot.img should be refalshed though, there isin't any custom kernels yet but in the future there might be. And this should reflash everything stock. Also it shouldn't matter if there is anything extra in the updater script but there isin't anyway. I'm just replacing the system folder the Party Time Rom zip with the system Slayer72 provided (and i've also tried the others) so everything is good there. Only thing I can think of is i should try extracting the files under linux instead of Windows because Windows doesn't even support ext4 (or yaffs or any other linux file system)
 
The Party Time updater-script sets the permissions. It won't boot at all. I'm just trying different things now.

Edit: Lol it's funny this the second thread for a flashable Stock rooted and I can't get the damn thing to work. Knew I should've waited to make sure it worked :-)

Idk why it's not working though.
 
Dude shabby busted my balls fr using that script, it calls for too many files that don't exists in the rom. If u look at the script I calls a shxtload of stuff from /system/xbin when 70% percent of them aren't there
And I made that second post, I just have to redo my updaterscript and ask the mod to restore my thread as it iS locked
 
Actually I did just realize some things in the updater-script maybe shouldn't be there, and some permissions aren't set or are different from stock update script from the new update.

I'm going to try changing that and see if it does anything

Edit: yeah I see there are things in the update script that shouldn't be there.
 
On one of the posts for the rush I have a script posted as a reply that should work, its a bare minimal script that gets the job done and installs the system
 
Well I don't think symlinks to things that aren't there should mess up flashing? I would think it was the permissions. I'm about to test it though
 
Thanks sckboy78, I just realized to cross check the 2nd update script with the Party Time one I was using.. realized some permissions aren't set.
 
Well I'm getting a error status 4 now in CWM so I'm going to have to mess with the script I guess. I'll be testing tomorrow when I get time at work.
 
Is error status 4 an uncaught exception? Cause if so u probably missed a ); somewhere or took an important line out, add messagez in the script so u know where the script failed at
 
Alright I'll check for that. I just added permissions from the update script that was not in the Party Time update script so maybe messed up a line

Lol sorry for my ignorance here. New to Android modding but thanks to everyone helping :-) we will get this damn thing working soon.
 
Double chack and verify the files make make sure they exist, cause that might cause the error, and do u know how to use: ui_print("hdiwgsgdj") ?
