file is statically compiled and bumped to version 5.24
Updated mkboot script to use file and magic.mgc for handling lzop compression types and removed previous workaround.
TODO - still need to compile lzop statically and include binary with project
Busybox lzop is still being used so if your busybox does not support lzop then it will not work
file and magic error out when handling lzop compression types
Workaround is to find lzop header first if it exists by searching for its hex value
TODO - fix file and magic to read lzop compression types properly and eliminate this workaround
Currently this method uses busybox for handling lzop compressions. Insure busybox supports lzop or else this will fail
TODO - compile lzop statically and eliminate the need for busybox having lzop support
- Check if magic address is not at 0x0.
- If magic is found elsewhere in image then output it's location in hex and dec, otherwise ignore.
- User needs to know it's location as some OEM images require that location in order to boot.
- The magic output is only cosmetic and the user is responsible for the location after image is built.
- Statically compiled mkbootfs and mkbootimg
- Project will work on Lollipop
- Update mkboot script accordingly
- Fix escaping double quotes and keeping double quotes intact for command line
- Add support for dumping and repacking second image if it exists.
- Few other changes
Previously img_info was created using double quotes and that
allows a lot of shell interpretation that can cause problems.
Switch to using ' to avoid most of the shell interpretation
(all that is left is '). Make sure that works well by escaping
single quotes properly.
For example, the command line:
boo='ya' androidboot.selinux=permissive hi='there'
would be escaped in img_info as
cmd_line='boo='"'"'ya'"'"' androidboot.selinux=permissive hi='"'"'there'"'"''
Added some additional support for detecting the ramdisk compression as well as some other things such as a hazard warning if the ramdisk compression is currently not supported eith using the ARM tool.
-- Added support for xz (statically compiled)
-- Added support for properly determing file type with file (statically compiled)
-- Added support with magic
-- Some minor cosmetic changes to the script
-- Completely rewrote the handling support of ramdisks
-- Added Hazard warning for compression formats currently not supported using this tool (Please contact me if you are one of them)
-- And more I am sure lol
-- Compress new ramdisk based on the old ramdisk compression. If gzip then compress as gzip, if lzma then compress as lzma and if lz4 then compress as lz4.
-- Some minor cleanup and cosmetic changes.
There are images which do not use the standard mkbootimg.c. To rectify this problem I have added support for such images. This update is specific to ARM but definitely check it out. See README.md for a sample of what it looks like.
- Added support for non standard mkbootimg images.
- Inform user if their image is non standard and display true offsets.
- Add support for repacking non standard images.
- Updated README.md.
-- Modifed README.md.
-- Modified mkboot script.
-- Compiled gzip, cpio, lz4, lzma, grep, od, mkbootimg, mkbootfs, and bash for ARM devices.
-- All Binaries should be in compliance with pre-jb up to Android L.
-- CPIO version 2.10.
-- GZIP version 1.6
-- LZ4 version r120
-- LZMA version 4.32.7
-- GREP version 2.19
-- OD version coreutils-8.23
-- BASH version 4.3.11
-- NOTE - Busybox is stripped and incomplete for use with mkboot. Busybox is still required to be installed on your device. This is where the above listed Binaries come in to play.
