Hi!, do the same but into phone.
put your files with adb to sdcard, install busybox or copy the files with cat.
do mkyaffs2image into the phone, because apanda images needs some strange firmware. if you backup inside the phone yo will have a working system.img.

Sorry c.martinez but what do you suggest to do adb mkyaffs2image system system.img (just an example!!) ??

c.martinez its all ok so many thanks hi was going nuts with this.

just another question when we built a custom rom and add the aplication.apk to /system/app
must be installed by default when i do factory reset right? or i have to compile some boot script to install like its default in system?

PS: i'am trying to do my own custom rom, so when i do factory he installs all i want
