FAQ
I've been having issues with the make_ota_from_target script. I built AOSP
4.1.1_r4 for toro using "make otapackage -j4", which completed successfully
and created img files and a .zip file as expected. However, weird things
happen when I flash the zip. It flashes ok, but then WiFi will never
connect and all superuser apps fail to get root.
This made me think I was missing a vendor lib or something, but I flashed
the boot.img and system.img (and wiped data) just for the heck of it, and
everything works great. I've compared the files and directory structure in
both (by extracting the img), and everything looks the same to me. I'm
honestly at a loss on this.
Does this ring any bells for anyone? Is there any additional information I
can provide? I also took a look at the boot.img, and they look the same to
me as well. Thanks in advance!

    Did you flash this in a custom recovery?

    Yes, TWRP 2.2.0.

    I apologize if this is a duplicate post; I can't see the one I tried from
    my phone. Yes, I used a custom recovery. TWRP 2.2.0. I also stripped the
    addition of recovery to the OTA from the make_ota script.

    I tried reverting the make_ota script and running it again, with the
    inclusion of recovery. It led to the same results (no WiFi).

    I'm building on Mac OSX 10.7, if that info helps. At this point, my only
    edits to the source are the inclusion of the toro vendor libs, mods to the
    build.prop for Verizon, and the deletion of duplicate ringtones and
    notifications.

    TWRP is a newer Recovery that doesn't abide by all of the standards. I
    would suggest that you try flashing the zip in a Clockwork Mod recovery, or
    another standardized recovery image.

    hmm...

    Does the wifi work if you just use fastboot to flash boot/system/userdata?
    AFAIK, if wifi isnt coming up after you restore your otapackage, its a
    problem with your build. That would likely be related to kernel drivers and
    vendor files.

    I havent rebuilt roms for my toro device, but I know at least for the
    panda, you need to run scripts out of vendor/ti/panda on build which copies
    files into their appropriate places on the filesystem.

    Hope I understood your question ok...

    As it turns out, this appears to be related to a prior question. When I
    moved over to a Linux build host, rather than a Mac OS (darwin), the ota
    zip works as expected. Someone prior to this question (maybe in July?)
    asked about the ota zip process not working for him/her on darwin... so it
    appears to be an issue there.

    Thanks for the replies, though.
