Android 9 partition repack tool!

[sagert]

Thanks, i started fresh anyway (Cant hurt) i unpacked an image, and tried to repack it with no changes just to test and it results in a bootloop, the new IMG is around 25MB samller than the original, cant see any errors either, i have attached my terminal in a TXT file, i must be doing something wrong, any advice would be greatly appreciated

File wont attach uploaded to Google Drive

and to try again i would need to run "make clean" and im ready to unpack again?

Hello,

Thanks for sharing this.
Where can I find init.amlogic.rc file?

~/afck/bc-tool/vendor/vendor/etc/init/hw/

Thank you!
Where do I go to edit the partition size of vendor partition? Its too small on my rom

build script reads out partition sizes from DTB file, you have to decompile this file, change partition size and compile back to dtb. Or you can try fdtput

The file structure is much different from android 7. Where is the boot.img file?

and where can i edit .dts or .dtb file if it's extracted

i saw a thing, so, for example i have the folder /afck/build/amlogic/device/10-amcodec, and if i do make mod-amcodec it won't copy the amcodec file where it belongs because the extracted files are in bc-tool folder, so for example

https://pastebin.com/raw/LBe2Y3fu

and if we use the update with bc-tool we need to make the code to look like this, with the BCT.DIR

https://pastebin.com/raw/kQGJGhAh

this file is intended for android 8 build system (project beelink), for android 9 half of this code is unnecessary, e.g. file permissions, this part is done automatically in the bc-tool

Is there another location or file to decompile to get init.amlogic.rc for system instead of vendor?

I added ballplayer to system/bin/ in order to use mp4 animation and added the location of bootplayer to init.amlogic.rc but it's not working.

instructions we found here:
