Update to version 4.5

Archived Changelog

What's new:

  1. * Fixed the problem with spaces in path folders names. Now it works even in recursive folders with spaces in name.
  2. * Re-added the salt generation for avb2 signature with openssl. After checking some custom ROM sources (omnirom, and others), I found out they use sha256sum to generate salt from kernel. Since I needed something more general, and since vendor boot images don't have a kernel I decided to generate the salt over the new image.
  3. * Also for avb2 signature I completed the generating arguments with original image rollback index and index location along with flags.

For now this version of the kitchen will remain actual for a while, unless some bugs are reported. For the next stage I will try to integrate the python scripts from AOSP for unpacking and repacking the images. Actually that will be easy. The tricky part is to make it work with older images also, because in my prior tests that didn't worked well, especially if the image is from a samsung device with a dt section or a mediatek image with mtk headers.

IMPORTANT:

Of course, as before, I couldn't test the kitchen with real android 12 - 14 devices, I mean with boot headers from 2 to 4 or with vendor boot images. All my tests are theoretical, unpacking repacking, verify with python scripts from android source, verify with hex viewer and so on. From this point of view, everything works, but a real life test will be better. This tool is intended for advanced users or technicians who supposed to know what they are doing.

For messages, anyone can use my contact form or the mailto link, and I will answer, but not immediately because I have a day to day job and other things to do besides this.

I need to say it: I made this tool working many hours, and I am posting it for free, without receiving anything from all those who are using it. All I am asking is just to post links to my webpage instead of uploading it on other websites. As you can see I don't have advertising or other ways to monetize this. I'm paying for my hosting and other services with my own money from my day to day job, and I don't like to see my work posted on other websites where they use monetizing systems. I have also a gihub account and If I wanted to be posted there I could've done it myself.
