I examined what the signature looks like when it signs it, and it does not look like it has the same format as the stock signature

you have to realize that wkpark found these keys / keytool in a Ginger Bread source that LG put out by accident, so I am sure a lot has changed since then

I find it interesting that you got that triangle and not the error, so maybe you should experiment and little more, maybe we did not use the same method

for the record i did

unpacked stock recovery and repacked it
and then did

./signimg.sh recovery.img

i assume you edited teh script? as it doesnt have teh right parameters for packing a boot.img for every device, you need to edit the mkbootimg line and put in the motion 4g related mkboot.img command

Shabbypenguin · Jul 9, 2013

sorry to bother you guys, ill go find some spirit owners that may wish to test

omgbossis21 · Jul 9, 2013

No motion here so I can't test but I got my fingers crossed for you guys

henrytamayo · Jul 9, 2013

how do i test it ?

it's a flashable boot.img like the ones included in roms except without the rom.

do i wipe anything ? whats the worst that can happen if i flash this lol

worst scenario would be unbrick method.

henrytamayo · Jul 9, 2013

can i flash over cm10?

Shabbypenguin · Jul 9, 2013

negative if it didnt work then you would need to unbrick which means wiping your phone and starting from scratch on root recovery etc.

just curious to throw this out there, how much would you guys pay to be able to use custom kernels/recoveries?

henrytamayo · Jul 9, 2013

so i flashed the test kernel and it worked

that would totally depend on what the custom kernel and or recovery included and it's advantages.

Assuming you did it correctly with the test image and it booted properly you guys really got something going on =-)

Shabby, that's a odd question.....

I can just close the thread.

he's posted this same thing in like 10 other threads

omgbossis21 · Jul 9, 2013

Sounds like it worked and custom recoveries and kernels will be coming your way =-) Once its completely verified I have no issues with anybody wanting to buy me a beer ;-)

If you'd like to elaborate further, I'm sure you would get a better response.

johnnyl1111 · Jul 9, 2013

well at the moment only shabby knows the mkboot.img command changes he made in the script. sounds like we need to buy shabby a beer too.

how are you verifying that a signature is being written to the file ?

I am opening the file with a hex editor and actually looking at the signature

I look at your file and did not see one

I looked at the file I made, and it had a signature, but it was not the same type of signature that stock uses

sammyz · Jul 9, 2013

Shabby's custom boot.img verified. But I will tell ya'll this:

The signing tool removes the author. So whether you want to say it's still stock, there will be proof once you see we can flash recoveries.

can you give details on what you did, not that I doubt you, but I would just like to verify that you flashed it correctly

He flashed shabby's boot.img that he removed for another thread I believe.

ok, well I don't want to be a Debby downer, but I just am convinced this is not working, based on what I know.

Now I am not the smartest person in the world, and I have been wrong many times, and it has usually been when I was convinced that I was right.

I really do hope that I am wrong, and that it does work.

If it does not work with the scripts, we may still be able to use the keys, and I will look into that on the weekend if I have some time

I am traveling right now and do not have access to my build system

johnnyl1111 · Jul 9, 2013

shabby made it a flashable zip. and i told him to flash it just like a rom or any other flashable so i assume thats what he did.

the devil is in the details
