Android kitchen.
Backup with CWM, take system.ext4.tar.a, remove that "a" in the end. And use it in Kitchen.
Just take flashable ZIP from any of our JB ROMs, because updater-script is different on other phones.

In the the .tar.md5, I only see system.img.md5 and some other .img.md5 files

Not from firmware, I told you from backup in CWM. :angel:
P.S. In CWM backup folder you will get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Use the last file, 430+ MB. Just remove ".a" in extension.

Oooh, my bad.

Yep... got it, thanks a bunch. But oh crap I recently unrooted by flashing new firmware with Odin...

By using Android kitchen and system.ext4.tar with it. It will unpack it for you. You need to use guide of it, read it carefully. You do not need boot, it is kernel (if not put in ROM, previous one will remain in phone).
And do not be a noob, ne newbie. Read, read, search, read...

Will this method work... Because in the kitchen thread, S advance is not in the supported devices list... But I'd reckon it's very similar to the Galaxy Ace 2...

It will work to get files you need. And after that just use our updater-script (and whole META-inf folder).
P.S. Before you try to make some ROM, please read all threads about that. You can't just swing with stick, and become an dev.

The TAR file is the only one you need. And you need to download Odin. Find the link in drketan's thread in the android development section.
Place the TAR file in the PDA section of Odin.
However, do NOT do any kind of wipe/factory reset in recovery or settings with LPF as it is official rom that contains the emmc brick bug that will brick your phone.
I seriously recommend doing more reading before you embark on the flashing journey.

So, you are on GB now? If you are already on GB, don't bother flashing LPF (at least I wouldn't).
Are you rooted?
If so, just download a CM9 rom and flash it from Gingerbread. That way, you stay on a safe kernel.
If you insist on stock ICS, download Franco's kernel or Speedmod kernel and flash those in Mobile Odin after you Odin stock ICS. (Do NOT wipe data in stock ICS before you flash either of those kernels).

I don't know what you mean with prerequests, but if you mean something like (pre)requirements I would say it's like
A installed 20A firmware
Root
Unlocked Bootloader
Installed CWM.
How to install should be like any other rom atm:
Place it on your internal sd card
Boot into CWM recovery
Choose something like "install zip from internal storage"
Choose the downloaded zip
Install it and on next reboot you will have a deodexed and zipaligned V20A
I take no warranty to these steps, but I think it should work. I would be glad if somebody could confirm these steps...
i tried to install it via cwm and after phone stays in lg logo.now im reflashing v20 euroopen,fix it please
has anybody else tried to flash this via cwm???
come on men suport your them or else delete it
I flashed it with cmw not the touch version. Working great.

what do u mean saying "not the touch version"?dd u made before a wipe data ? cause i made it and after the flash the phone stucks on lg logo

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
He means the version of CWM - there is a touch and a non-touch version of it
The reason this won't boot is it doesn't have boot included, you need to have the same v20a its based on installed, this works much like the deodex for ICS where it only modifies the /system partition. Just look inside the zip, no boot.img!
Sent from my rooted P880
And what can i do to fix the boot problem?

This ist NOT a complete ROM. First you have to flash a Stock JB Rom. After that be shure unlock is working CWM Recovery is installed. Then you can flash the deodexed one...

[Q] HELP! Galaxy Tab Boot Loop

Please help! My Galaxy Tab is in a pickle!
My Galaxy Tab is SHW-M180S from South Korea, and it is rooted via a Custom Rom ( http://jctool.tistory.com/m/post/view/id/133 ) by using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057050
It's been 2 weeks since I rooted it and then just yesterday, it suddenly Crashed (which happens at least once a day) so I rebooted it, but instead of normally going into my lock screen, it just loops. It's been 3 hours of this madness.
So, in desperation, I entered the Stock System Recovery (I do not have CWM installed), wiped the data and cache and rebooted. Now, it doesn't loop, but it's stuck on the SKT Logo (My carrier). Just there. This is where I am now.
From here, I can still enter the System Recovery and Download Mode. It still charges etc. Odin can read it.
Please help, I don't know what to do!

What do I do? I flashed Kernel via Odin, but it's still stuck on bootloop. I still haven't used the ROM from Samsung yet because I don't know how to use it. Odin (via PDA) can't see it. It's a ZIP file, not a TAR or MD5 file. If I unzip it, all that comes out are a bunch of files. Please help.
