Converting the .zip to .tar.bz2 ? - Eee Pad Transformer General

So with the introduction of the nvflash it looks like we now need to use a .tar.bz2 file which contains the ROM in 3 files...
is there anyways to convert an existing ROM that is in a .zip file type to the .tar.bz2 type? Say.. Prime!1.4 US version for example..
i guess it would just speed up the process if we can convert the ROM we want by ourselves...
hopefully that makes sense, i was just thinking aloud.

You dont need to flash that file. Extract the contents of that package to the nvflash folder and run the download.bat file.

ok sorry.. flash was the wrong word.. but the contents of a .zip are not the same as the contents of the ROM provided in the nvflash instructions.. just wondering how to get a .zip ROM to become the necessary files to use in nvflash

I don't think it has to be .tar.bz2.. you're just moving the files from that extraction to the root folder of /nvflash anyway.
It just needs to be three .imgs

your right.. and i know i can use like imgburn to make those imgs.. but what files to put in each of the 3 is the question i guess

Just extract the 3 files in the tarball(.tar.bz2) into the nvflash directory. Thats it. No modding the .img files.

I think the OP wants to make his own .imgs for his own ROMs.

Oh i think the android sdk provides those tools.

this is correct... say.. for example sake.. i want to take a Prime!1.4 US version (since the WW version is the only .tar.bz2 available now) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052380 and make it into 3 imgs for use in nvflash to then get a rooted Prime1.4 US version when its all set and done..
which files from the .zip would go into which imgs?
to be honest i dont even know if it could even be done...or if thats the way it is even done.. its all just a thought.
PS sorry for all the confusion.

Well I found out that the .tar.bz2 was WW not too long ago. As somebody mentioned, you can boot into clockwork and wipe (not sure if you have to but i did it anyway) and flash the US version right over. The OP of the NVFlash thread said that roach will come out with a 1.5 very soon. So right there might be your answer.. just wait patiently! Or if it bothers you, you can just download the US and flash it over.

I flashed the US version right over the WW version and i have no problems.

Same. Just wait for the 1.5, it should be out very soon.

well flashing US over WW seems easy enough.. or waiting.. but thats harder to do haha
thanks for the advice!
i guess i was just more curious than anything

Why not? I'm sure someone already beat you to it as I write this. People are already going ape**** for ICS system dump, not that I blame them
Awesome! Can't wait to see where this thread goes!
Has anyone had any luck deodex-ing thes? I only managed to get a few properly deodexed, but none that I wanted. the rest have <EOF> (end of file) errors. my guess is that bak/smali needs to be updated for ICS.

There is no point really. Its proof of concept. SDK ROMs are next to useless.
this might be a basic question since I am doing this for the first time. I have the system dump of ICS and boot.img of my device HTC aria. I have edited the build.prop in system dump and init.rc in boot.img. How can I repackage the system dump that I downloaded with the boot.img that I have?
I used the option "99 - Build rom..." from the kitchen options but CWM fails installing the zip.
can you share info as whatz missing here?

AP is the whole operating system to flash! This file may be over 1Gb .
i will believe it when i see if, nothing anywhere about any kitkat leaks, no explanation from OP where it came from... very suspect.
Could someone post screenshots please?
Finished.
Also I think this CAN work on 8010, you just flash without MODEM part.
Try at your risk tho.

Probably
If you put BL, AP and CSC in good places in Odin it shouldn't fail.
If it fails on the very beginning then it's just not compatible with N8010 and nothing bad should happen.
Okay, I see there are different parts of AP for example. How can I make one zip of them?

You unpack them into 1 tar file.
If you dont know what you are doing please dont do it. I posted it here on developers forum for people who know what to do.
Why parts? Because zippyshare has 200MB limit.
That is not a problem. I already flashed a lot of roms and worked with odin. But I never used zip files which were splited. So to make it clear: I download and mark the parts and zip them to a .tar archive. Right?

LOL, Not quite. You would download them all, then use 7-Zip or something like that to unpack the first one in the series. It will unpack them all, and the result should be one .tar file

[SM-T700]Edify Definition file for Dsixda's Kitchen

I decided to use Dsixda's kitchen, so I made the file for the Tab S 8.4 Wi-Fi (Klimtwifi).
Here it is. Try it, I think it was correctly made.
Mirror: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526786375
What is it?
Dsixda's kitchen includes support for several devices, but that list is no longer updated. Meaning, you'd have to set the file up yourself. Dsixda's kitchen must know what are the partitions, the file systems, etc. This file says where the mount points are, for example. Just drag the "klimtwifi" to the /kitchen/tools/edify_defs directory, and you now the kitchen knows how to make the Updater Script for your device.

The signature reflects the specific models I purchased and the amount of ram/rom they had. As such it appears accurate to me.
it's 16 GB and 32 GB, if it was MB you wouldn't even install anything

The short answer, and it's not intended to be ugly, is that if you have to ask it's not a file you should be installing.
It's easier to get it from the system updater....this is primarily intended for folks doing rom work or want to extract the patches to see what might be applied to the other models. It could be sideloaded via twrp for the specific firmware/model listed if they needed to for a particular reason.

Quick question. I've flashed .bin files via odin, what do I do here?
It's simply a renamed zip. Change .bin to .zip and you can open it.
@purple.epod and others....I'm uploading an unrooted system image with boot (we need the kernel to match the system) to mega and will post the url when it completes tomorrow sometime. That file can be used to flash via twrp to the latest version and skip all the interim steps. Keep an eye out for it.

It's better to boot it first, there is no risk that way.
Plus the "guide" by kalid is literally a copy of mine. It was closed for good reason
The reason why it's "complicated" is due to the fact that not only is it good practice to obtain your own boot.img it means the failure rate plummets.
Plus each step and alternative is explained and a step by step procedure documented.
Could I have shortened it? Sure.
