Firmware-mod-kit Extract ilegal image after build.

Greetings, i've been spending time on this a while now, i'm trying to create something like an stock firmware for an router for my ISP use. And for this I used many tools to extract and recompile de .bin file, I succeded on extracting, altering the files I needed but when i recompile inevitably the checksumd5 alters and the router doesn't accept the firmware, everything I did till here was with regular tools like Binwalk, unsquashfs and mksquashfs and I decided to give it a try with the mod-kit, but then I saw it is more linke a script that uses the very same tools i've been using so far, the main issue here is that when the image is the checksum canges and I know it is very hard to avoid this, but the router checks this information and I don't know the parameter that it uses to reconize an legal firmware from an "ilegal". So I guess the question is, is there a way to do this without changing the checksum of it?

You're tackling an impressive challenge! Modifying and repackaging router firmware, especially for ISP use, requires deep technical knowledge of file structures, checksum validation, and security mechanisms. You've already done a great job extracting, modifying, and repackaging the firmware using tools like Binwalk, unsquashfs, and mksquashfs, which is no small feat.
