Uberizer v1.4




This tool aims to support many android devices. Use the Uberizer to:

  • * connect
    * improve
    * backup
    * control
    * debug
    * unlock full play store
    * mod
    * optimize
    * personalise
    * root
    * and more!



Uberizer Quickstart Guide:
Connecting your device to your computer:

To get started using the Uberizer you will need to connect to your computer. This can be done 2 ways:
* Wireless (RECOMMENDED) (REQUIRES ROOT!)
* Wired (Advanced users only) (Can ROOT devices)

The reason why wireless is recommend is because it's easy! Wired installation requires you to install
the ADB driver which can sometimes have problems, some devices have wierd ADB ports so you will have
problems finding the proper cable for it and some devices don't have ADB ports at all.

** Setting up your device for Wireless Uberizing (RECOMMENDED)

1. Go to the Wireless Menu (w)
2. Enable Wireless ADB using ONE of these options: 2, 4 or 5, whichever is most easy for your situation.
3. If you use an app (4 or 5), start the app on your Android device.
Use option 6 to connect to the given IP in the app.
If you chose option 2, you must find your device IP, go to Settings, About device, Status, to see the IP.

** Setting up your device for Wired Uberizing (Advanced users only)

1. Install ADB drivers (from dir usb_driver) for wired ADB
2. Boot Android, connect device (on the device, the statusbar will display "usb debugging mode is activated")
3. Run this tool, analyse device so this tool can seek info of your device
and will check if your model is supported by mods

NOTE: Your device must have "ADB Debugging" checked in: "Settings \ Developer options \ USB debugging (Debug mode when USB is connected)"

Using the rom_kitchen:
This is the flash kitchen v2 modded to work with A1X IMG files and updated livesuit to 1.0.9, made
easy by some added scripts and automation.

Preparations:
1. a x64 Ubuntu or other linux system
2. a Windows system
3. \rom_kitchen\a10_tools.tar.gz extracted on your linux system
4. a base rom
5. a modkit, a set of files you have modded or wish to add/remove
6. ia32-libs, exe on your x64 ubuntu/linux system "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs"

HowTo:
1. put original.img in the root of the kitchen
2. run the uberizer to extract the original.img
3. mod the files in _input
-recovery.fex (see "Modding the recovery partition" in this document)
-root.fex (see "Modding the root" in this document)
-bootfs.fex (see "Modding the bootfs" in this document)
-system.fex (see "Modding the system partition" in this document)
4. rebuild running uberizer's create image function

Modding the root:
1. Extracting:
tools/split_bootimg.pl _input/root.fex
* this will give you root.fex-kernel the root.fex-ramdisk, check "Modding the ramdisk" in this document for details

2. Rebuilding:
tools/mkbootfs ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz
tools/mkbootimg --base 0x40000000 --kernel root.fex-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --cmdline 'console=ttyS0,115200 tw init=/init loglevel=8' -o modded-root.img
this will give you a new file, modded-root.img

Modding the ramdisk:
1. Extracting:
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gunzip -c ../root.fex-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

2. Rebuilding:
check "Modding the root" part 2. in this document

Modding the bootfs:
1. Make some directory:
mkdir bootfs
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop _input/bootfs.fex /bootfs

2. Edit files in /bootfs

3. Unmount the bootfs
umount bootfs

Modding the recovery partition:
1. Extracting:
tools/split_bootimg.pl ./_input/recovery.fex
rm -rf ramdisk
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gunzip -c ../recovery.fex-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

2. Rebuilding:
*sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
tools/mkbootfs ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz
tools/mkbootimg --base 0x40000000 --kernel recovery.fex-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --cmdline 'console=ttyS0,115200 rw init=/init loglevel=8' -o modded-recovery.img

Modding the system partition:
1. Mounting:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img /mnt
start modding! (SU permissions required!)
*sudo nautilus (will execute "explorer" with root permission)

2. Unmounting:
sudo umount /mnt

if this fails, you need to use simg2img:

1. convert system IMG (SIMG) to ext4 IMG:
tools/simg2img ./_input/system.fex ./_input/system.img
2. make a system dir for mounting the converted IMG:
mkdir system
3. now mount the IMG to the newly created system directory:
sudo mount -o loop ./_input/system.img system
4. do you modding in the /system dir:
sudo nautilus (will execute "explorer" with root permission)
5. rebuilt the SIMG:
cd tools
sudo ./mkuserimg.sh -s ../system ../new-system.fex ext4 ../tmp 300M
6. unmount the /system dir:
sudo umount system


Troubleshooting / FAQ:
*** Can I use an SD to wireless connect? ***

Yes you can! Go to the Wireless Menu (w) and choose option '5' (Copy Wireless ADB APP to SD), this will copy a wireless ADB
app to your SD (insert your SD in your computer before running this option). After the APP is copied to your SD:
1. Insert the SD in your device
2. Enable WLAN and connect to your home network
3. Start a file browser
4. Locate the SD in your device in the file browser
5. Install one of the copied APKs on your device
6. Start the installed APK
7. Take note of the IP the APP displays, this is your device's IP
8. In the Uberizer, go to the Wireless Menu (w)
9. Select option '6' (Connect to Wireless ADB device)
10.Enter the IP of your device
11.Enter the Port the Wireless ADB is running (leave blank for default port of 5555)
12.Uberizer will automatically rescan for connected devices, and should return the device model


*** Full Market / Google Play Store Function gives error: Error while retrieving information from server. [RH-01] ***

This usually happens when you start the google play store for the first time on the first reboot. Wait a minute, and retry.


*** Livesuit: Install the driver fail! The program will exit ***

if you have problems starting livesuit.exe, and receive the error message "Install the driver fail! The program will exit.":

1. You must connect your device to the system IN "flash mode" before starting the tool. On a MK802 MiniPC, Use a paperclip
to press the "upgrade" mode button located under the LED (small pinhole) WHILE connecting the MK802 to your computer. On
A1x tablets, this can happen when you don't press the volume up button of your device while connecting it to your PC. Shut
down your tablet, press the volume up WHILE connecting the usb to your computer, and retry to start Livesuit again. If you
did held the volume up button, and the device still is not recognized, you need to hold the power button of the A1X for
about 10sec, then retry the procedure.

2. Then, once the tool has started, browse for your IMG file that you want to flash.

3. Reconnect the device using the same method as described in 1. to automatically get the wizard for flashing a ROM, here
you can choose to format the device before flashing or to install the firmware keeping your current apps/data in tact.


*** HowTo Flash the A13 ***

1. Start Livesuit (see TechKnow's Downloads section for this app)

2. Power off the device

3. Press and hold the volume up button

4. Insert the USB connection cable to your computer while holding the volume up button

5. LiveSuit will detect a device being connected and will ask you what to do, you can format the device if you desire.

6. Follow the onscreen instructions


*** The A13-F9 is not recognized or has problems in Livesuit ***

1. Turn off your tablet

2. Press the key combination to start it in the upgrade mode
a. Press the "Vol -" key, then press the "Power" button, hold two buttons at the same time
b. Connect the USB cable to tablet and computer
c. After connecting the USB cable, press the power button 6 times quickly or hold the "Vol -" keys and the "Power" button
for more than 6 seconds (you should get a pop up window if done correctly , if not repeat step 5 from beginning)
d. DON'T release the "Vol -" button till the LiveSuit window pops up
e. You can now release the "Vol -" button
(Note: If you install the driver at this time the pop-up dialog box, the path to point to installation directory UsbDriver
LiveSuit folder, click Next to complete the driver installation prompts).

3. Select the format to force upgrade
Livesuit prompt "force format", click "Yes" (Y). All of the original apps installed will be removed. We highly recommend mandatory format! ! !
Otherwise the update is not complete and may brick! ! !


Special switches:
c = cue fix, fixes cue files so you can easily cut the mp3's inside it using a tool
such as cuecutter. Can remove INDEX00 or INDEX01 entries in a sec for you. Use the
'ui' switch to integrate this feature in XP

i = install drivers, this pre-installs a lot of android drivers to your windows
inf directory so you can connect a device and it's automatically recognized
if the device is supported.

u = uninstall the driver files written to your INF directory.

ui= Uberizer Integrator, intgrates the Uberizer's special features in your system. E.g.
NFO files can viewed, CUE files can be fixed, ZDiR can be called from any directory
in the explorer, etc... currently only tested in XP, might fail using Win7.

n = nfo viewer, displays a black/green proper sized nfo file, use the 'ui' switch to
integrate this feature in XP

o = offline, does not try to scan for a device, this is handy when you use the
uberizer for amm (android multi mod) features to work with APK files for
example.

z = ZDiR, the directory manipulation tool. Generate directory indexes, directories,
filtered indexes and more!

help = a short help on howto connect your device, this documentation however is
recommended for trouble shooting / uberizer usage.

1-7 timer = pauses for the chosen amount of seconds. Since Microsoft stripped the
pause "seconds to pause" feature I needed to get my own timer for this
script to work.
