[SOLVED] Cooking n9005 rom - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm trying to cook a n9005 rom (deodex, root, busybox, init.d support, data/app support) using dsixda kitchen version 0.224 (updated with this package) but, after rom installation in CWM, at reboot, i get the message "could not do normal boot" in odin mode.
This is what i do:
1. setup working folder and follow instructions to extract system and cache img
2. deodex using api level 18
3. add root permissions (choosing "f" - chainfire-update)
4. install busybox
5. add /etc/init.d support
6. add /data/app support
7. delete some apks from system folder (like polaris office, chrome, etc)
8. build rom, option 99, using "1" interactive mode (zipaligning, creating update.zip and signing, all whitout errors)
9. install in cwm without errors
10. reboot
11. odin mode with message "could not do normal boot"
I think i miss something, maybe during root or init.d support processes, but i don't get any error message while cooking.
What can i do? Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Also i used kitchen version 224 but not updated with that package.
Seem to work everything ok, but when i want to flash it, it hooks up, sometimes with an cwn error, and sometimes with the same message you got.
After trying a lot with other custom roms the solution for me is that the update-binary is not correct. Copied over from other rom, edited updater script to my needs and everything is fine....
Still do not know where tje problem is.... always take clean samsung stock rom, doesn't matter if i use windows or ubuntu, result is the same
So i use the workaround and it works at least for me...

No sorry, i can't help you out with that, i am really a noob on Android-stuff.... i put that mod on my kitchen.... now update binary fits, but boot.img won't work... i get a cwm error 7
... i read all the messages about error 7, and.it would be easy to handle if those lines which you should delete were there )) nothing helped out, till i testet a boot.img from another custom rom....
Finally i got my "own" rom working.... ))

[Q] Booting into recovery shows "no command"

Hi there,
yesterday succesfully rooted my device using the insecure boot image.
Today booted and also flashed the new CWM recovery image but now, when booting into recovery only get an android logo and the text "no command" ?
Any ideas ? Flashed back to original recovery image but no change either ?
Root remains though and working fine.
Thanks

New clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.8 had been released and I can confirm myself that it is working perfectly and stays when flashed !
You can download it here and follow the instructions as written here.
Good luck !
excellent, i was waiting for someone to confirm before flashing it myself

Meanwhile a newer 6.0.1.9 is released as well, which will hopefully also fix the backup being in the wrong location and not usable
CWM is fixed. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995440
6.0.1.9 is the one i flashed and I'm still looking for my backup :s

Disregard this post! It was meant for LBE which is a Virus or acts like one (Newest version that was translated)
I'm having the "no command" message as well. I've flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 no-touch (following this guide), and it doesn't seem to be sticking. It'll work the first time, but then revert to the "no command" screen. I've also tried flashing the stock recovery, and then I receive the same message. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I managed root via the same guide. Anybody have any ideas?

From efrants android 101 sticky:
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick.

[Q] [Problem] SU binary not found! How to Update!?

Situation : I'm on JellyBlast3.0.4 with Merruk 2.0 pre-final kernel.
After flashing kernel on JB3.0.4 .. i wanted to update su binary but could not.
Though the su is working fine (prompting and proving root access) but i'm unable to update its binary (ss attached below).
What i tried : Tried to re-flash 'update.zip' (though its already rooted) but cwm showed .....blah....blah.... E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Then tried to replace the old su binary from its location with the updated one(attached below)..but failed..since as soon as the old file was removed, root privilages were lost and i was popped with an error saying 'your device is not rooted'.
So, i decided to reflash the whole rom and kernel once again but in the end its the same result : cannot update su binary!!
And hence i'm Here
Please, help me out since i'm still new and would like to do it on my own but.. don't know much.

And by the above link, I think he means, download Super SU from the Play store...install. Once you open that app, it will tell you that you need to update your binary. Click "Normal" and it should work.

That's because you are using a custom recovery. You can either flash a stock recovery or edit some files in the zip so you can flash it in the custom recovery.

Possibly, but probably not. In most of the reports that have been coming in - when the users actually report the full error message rather than saying something ambiguous like "I got a Status 7 error" - the problems revolve around altered/removed files in /system, or having a custom kernel (boot or LNX partition) installed. That suggests that the recovery version is not causing assert() failures.
The other thing to rememder is that the program that is interpreting the edify updater-script is the "updater-binary" program which is shipped inside the OTA - so it is virtually identical independent of the choice of recovery (other than perhaps kernel behavior differences).

Even though what you are saying here does only require being able to operate a plain-text editor and a zip tool, it's way above the heads of most folks who think that OTAs should work on non-stock ROMs. And I'm not sure how these folks would be better off with partially-patched ROMs. In any event, if this course is taken indeed a custom recovery would need to be used for this, as modifying the zip contents will break the OTA package signing, so the stock recovery couldn't be used.
The OP should just
- make a full nandroid backup of what they have now
- download the factory 4.2.2 images from Google
- extract the system.img file and boot.img images
( hint for windoze users: 7-zip understands .tgz files)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
- reflash a basic SuperSU or Superuser root kit
Sort of crude, but it's a decent hack for the lazy or poorly informed. It won't "erase my data", but presumably it will break whatever it was that altered the stock system and/or boot partitions - the very things that are causing the OTA to fail on them with their rooted & modified ROMs.
If they don't like the result, they can simply restore their nandroid backup.

your going to have to flash CWM, also what rom are you on? it sounds like your aboot image is not right
4.4 Roms can not be flashed using 2.6.3.2 you need to find a version of 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for your device.

Hi.. First step is to follow step by step th is guide i link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46204640
If u succes to install stock Rom.. Then u re root and install unofficial cwm, Can be found in ur devices forum.
Then download/transfer The cm rom u wanted, and GAapps IF needed... Just remember to read install instructions and follow them. And do a backup before installing cm rom
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
2.6.3.3 and .4 typically come in a flashable zip. You flash it in twrp like you would a ROM and it updates it.
If you do not have a ROM downloaded you can use to get back to a ROM to download side zip file, then you should check the thread on here (that you should have originally used to get your recovery image to flash on your phone.)
And follow the directions on there how to push it using adb. Once that's done you should be able to flash normally.

Update? Please reply if it worked for you.. And i would recommend u to use CWM, because alot of people, experience problems using twrp including myself..

the phone is rooted but I haven't installed any custom recovery.
I thought i could be possible to grab someone's backup system archive and use the xdabbed apk to restore default applications.
Actually I should describe a bit more the problem, the camera is there, the player is there but the gallery has disappeared.
There is an LGgallery.apk that comes with xdabbed package but i can't install it. When I try a manual install (just launch the apk), it is just telling me that the app couldn't be installed.
hope we can do something from it, otherwise I'll install a custom recovery and follow any advises you might have,
Thanks,
The thing is:
I can provide you with a restore package(also apk) but I wouldn't advise it. (it's unsafe replacing files on a LIVE android system)
If something happens and you don't have a custom recovery then your only solution is to flash a kdz.
So the best thing would be to install recovery.
If you want the apk I'll send it to you, until now it worked 2 of 2 times for restoring. Again..i would advise the recovery.
+you don't install the lggallery.apk, you copy it to /system/priv-app and chmod 644
first delete the lggallery.odex

Ok so i replaced the old LGgallery, remove the odex, changed permission and reboot but no luck with that.
installing a custom recovery sounds quite complex and I am ready to take a risk and try your archive. (hope it'll do the trick)
Otherwise I'll resort to install a recovery,
Many thanks
Actually it's 1 click and it's installed. If the apk fails and you bootloop then you can't install recovery(or boot).

If you want to risk:
modified xdabbeb's installer(install the stock files)
If you want the recovery way(installing recovery is one click job) tell me

I am usually stubborn but I listen the advise this time, could you advise me on the best way to do it or direct me to an appropriate thread?
Since you are already rooted.
first: download this
It's the flashable zip for the camera(thx to bruce) (put it on sdcard(internal storage))
then
1. AutoRec d802 You say you've got the d802 right ? Then this one.
Install..Run..Press YES. Allow permissions. Press Flash, wait.. When it says it's done then it's done.
Then press "to recovery" see if it reboots. If it does, you should see TWRP..just press install zip, choose the newly dloaded file.
