CG64.smg & CG65.smg: partition tables that you can open using fdisk/sfdisk
CG33.smg is a CDROM ISO file!
iirc one or two of them are the splash image (not 100% sure now)

System.img to be restored with Nandroid? If yes you have to extract all files with ext2reader then use mkyaffs2image to build system.img.

with mkyaffs2image its jus showing me a cmd windows for some less thn 1 sec and its jus goes away...please upload the version you are using...also let me know if it needs any prerequisite software to be installed.
It's because mkyaffs2image is a command line app, just like in the DOS days... To use it you should open a cmd window (type cmd at Windows menu and press enter), go to the directory right before the one you extracted files (you use cd "dirname" to enter in a directory and "cd .." to leave it. So when you are in the directory right before the one in which you've extracted files type "mkyaffs2image CG39extracteddir system.img"

ok last doubt...after creating system.img can it be restored via custom recovery..??
how to add md5 check sums for that so that custom recovery can identify as proper nandorid..!!??

You welcome!
Sure you can use it with nandroid, you must download md5sum.exe, place it together with mkyaffs2image, after you used mkyaffs2image then type "md5sum system.img" and it will generate checksum. Create a file called "nandroid.md5" and paste what md5sum returned. You can open a nandroid.md5 file of another backup and you'll understand better how it's done..
excellent..i got it
@danimagrin help me how to add root files if our cg39 image is unrooted..??
ie how to manually add root files from some rooted cg39 image to some non rooted original image..which files and folders are required to add/replace..?? ne thoughts..

I know how to do it on Linux, because you've to run chmod and chown to set su and Superuser.apk permissions. I'll see if it's possible to do it inside Windows and I'll answer you asap.
Where did you get mkyaffs2image for Windows? Are you running it with -f flag or not? Have you already made an image and restored it and did it really work? I'm afraid if will not work because of the same problem above...

[Tutorial] How to port cf-root to other i9003 Firmwares [23/02/2012]

Tutorial for Porting Cf-root To Newer Firmware's
There were quite a few requests for a tutorial to create ginger bread cf-root. So here it is folks.
Big Thanks to skin1980 for helping me out.
Credits:
Chainfire for the cf-root.
Skin1980 for porting it to Samsung Galaxy SLCD.
Prerequisites:
Any Linux. Basic knowledge of linux is mandatory.
Tools for Unpacking and Packing images.
Base Samsung Galaxy SLCD Gingerbread Cf-root.
Samsung Galaxy SLCD Gingerbread Firmware ROM for cf-root creation.
Downloads & Setup
Any Linux: For this tutorial I am using Linux Mint KDE. You are free to use the Linux of your choice. Ideal starting point for downloading and installing Linux would be Distrowatch.com.
Tools for unpacking and packing images: These are sets of tools that allow you to unpack and pack boot images. Basically one requires just a few tools to achieve.
Link to Download: cfroot-tools.zip - 19 KB.
Download and exatract it into your home folder. It will create a cfroot-tools folder under home folder. Go to the folder and execute the following comand:
Code:
chmod +x *
Base Cf-root: Download any latest cf-root from this Link. Extract the normalboot.img from the cf-root tar file.
normalboot.img: Require normalboot.img extracted from downloaded Gb ROM.
Hex editor: You will require and Hex Editor. I am using bless hex editor. You can use any one which you are comfortable or the one available under your linux distribution.
Open terminal window and enter the following commands:
Code:
[FONT=Microsoft Sans Serif][SIZE=2]cd
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Microsoft Sans Serif][SIZE=2]gedit ~/.bashrc[/SIZE][/FONT]
You can use any editor of your choice. The main purpose is to set the tools path. At the bottom of this file, add the following lines:
Code:
PATH=$HOME/cfroot-tools:$PATH
export PATH
Save and close the file.
Logoff from linux and login again for the new path to take effect.
The Actual Process
For the purpose of tutorial, I am going to use XXKPQ cf-root as the base and DDKP3 for creating new one.
Create a folder called “cfroot” with out the quotes under home.
Go to the created folder and create two more folders: DDKP3 and XXKPQ.
Now copy the normalboot.img extracted from XXKPQ cf-root and copy it into the XXKPQ folder. Next copy the normalboot.img fromDDKP3 firmware and copy it into DDKP3 folder.
Now go to the cfroot-tools folder under HOME and copy the decom.sh and recom.sh into XXKPQ and DDKP3 folders.
The above steps can be accomplished by the below code. Open command window and type the following:
Code:
cd
mkdir ~/cfroot
mkdir ~/cfroot/XXKPQ
mkdir ~/cfroot/DDKP3
cd ~/cfroot/XXKPQ
cp ~/cfroot-tools/*.sh .
chmod +x *.sh
cd ~/cfroot/DDKP3
cp ~/cfroot-tools/*.sh .
chmod +x *.sh
You need to press enter after each command.
From terminal window, first to change directory to XXKPQ, type the following commands:
Code:
cd ~/cfroot/XXKPQ
./decom.sh
After the execution of the above command, the following files and folders will be created:
normalboot.img-base
normalboot.img-cmdline
normalboot.img-pagesize
normalboot.img-ramdisk.gz => Ramdisk
normalboot.img-zImage => Kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Apart from these files, a folder called ramdisk will be created, into which the contents of normalboot.img-ramdisk.gz would have been extracted.
Now once more from the terminal window execute the following command:
Code:
cd ~/cfroot/DDKP3
./decom.sh
Also make note of the following values, which are shown, when the decom.sh script is executed.
Code:
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 81800000
BOARD_PAGE_SIZE 00001000
Now under DDKP3 folder, edit the recom.sh file. Replace the value after --base with the value after BOARD_KERNEL_BASE. Replace the value after --pagesize with value after BOARD_PAGE_SIZE. Save the file.
Now we can switch to file manager. It will be easier to work using a file manager from here on. Open the XXKPQ/ramdisk and DDKP3/ramdisk folders separately in file manager.
Copy the folders res & sbin from base cf-root (XXKPQ in our case) and paste into DDKP3/ramdisk folder. Overwrite all when prompted.
Copy all the files under XXKPQ/ramdisk (in the root) to DDKP3/ramdisk.
From XXKPQ/ramdisk/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/kernel/ copy the fs folder into DDKP3/ramdisk/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/kernel/.
At this point of time, we no longer require the XXKPQ folder. So we can close the file manager window browsing XXKPQ folder.
Now comes the tricky and critical part. This must be done very carefully. We need to edit the .ko files using a hex editor.
Under the kernel/crypto/ folder, there is a pcbc.ko file, edit it using an hex editor. Search for 2.6.35.7 using find option in the editor. Now note down the six digit numbers starting immediately after 2.6.35.7-CL. In our case the magic number is 882023. Close the file and the editor.
Now we open the kernel/fs/ folder in the file manager.
Now open the mbcache.ko file in the hex editor. Search for 2.6.35.7 again. As we can see that the six digits after 2.6.35.7-CL is not 882023. In our case it is 709629. We need to change 709629 to 882023 and save the file. Different editors provide for different methods of editing. In my case I can just simply click on starting number that is 7 and start typing 882023 and save the file.
Now you need to do the same for two more files under kernel/fs/jbd2/ and kernel/fs/ext4/.
Now go back to ramdisk folder. Under ramdisk/sbin/boot/ there is a file called install.sh. We are now going to edit this file. This not important that you edit this file.
Edit the first line and replace XXKPQ with DDKP3.
Similarly under the “# Once be enough”, there is another XXKPQ which is to be replace with DDKP3.
Now save this file.
Now back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
Code:
cd ~/cfroot/DDKP3
./recom.sh
Executing the above script recreates the normalboot.img-ramdisk.gz, the normalboot.img and create DDKP3-CFROOT-16-02-2012.tar.
The DDKP3-CFROOT-16-02-2012.tar is the cf-root for DDKP3 and can be flashed using ODIN as Pda file.

Thats it folks. Hope my effort is worthwhile and benefits some of you.

Thank you Ganeshbiyer! this is the tutorial for which send multiple private messages and never answered .. Thanks again, nowI can make a version for Gingerbread UBKPD.
goodbye
Yeah ganesh! A superb work..well done bro
thanks bhaiya....
Thanks for the tutorial buddy
Hope it has been useful.
_
Release all PERFECT! I had no problem in making the entire guide .. BUT ... when flashing in ODIN, and says that when it failed to finish.
I knew that I would be so easy, so I started to analyze both folders (my UBKPD and XXKPQ) and did not get that at the root of KPD I have 12 files and only 11 KPQ. The 12th file executable type KPD called RECOVERY. This file should remove it before using recom.sh?
Thanks again for the guide. goodbye
Edit2:
Well, my little patience led me to delete that file and then went back to RECOVERY recom.sh run and throw me error that could not erase normalboot.img and did not understand, but looking at the files in the root, not the size you normalboot.img was higher than the stock then replace the stock normalboot (+5 mb), run again and finally he created recom.sh cf.root, I flash with ODIN successfully without any problem in these +30 minutes.
Thanks (again).
Now I have as including UV & OC (freqmax 1100MHz is very good speed and would think you do not need more with this phone)
maybe a stupid question:
would it work with other phones as well? natually with the files of the other phone and not with the 9003 files

greetings fabsau
i do it all at this tutorial and it create .tar fine without trouble.. i flash with odin also no problem happen.. but while device open.. at boot logo get stuck or freeze at long time.. why it happen???
i confuse with this line:-
-Copy the folders res & sbin from base cf-root (XXKPQ in our case) and paste into DDKP3/ramdisk folder. Overwrite all when prompted.
-Copy all the files under XXKPQ/ramdisk (in the root) to DDKP3/ramdisk.
-From XXKPQ/ramdisk/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/kernel/ copy the fs folder into DDKP3/ramdisk/lib/modules/2.6.35.7/kernel/

why do not copy all the file in ramdisk n skip copy file inside the ramdisk folder.. it is difference?? please tell me if i do a mistake.

[GUIDE][FOR ADVANCED USERS] [Edit original LG Firmwares] root su760 ICS

Hi guys,
this is a big tutorial for advanced users on how to edit LG Firmwares.
This could be usefull to change recovery included, root the bin or give a try to
change bootloader to make su760 ics on p920 work.
First download a bin or a kdz file:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/
Then download the attached zip file and unpack it somewhere on your
windows pc.
Put the downloaded firmware in the same directory.
If you have chosen a kdz file you have to unpack it with LGExtract.
Ope up cmd and go with cd to the directory where all the files are.
Then type:
Code:
LGExtract -kdz *nameofthekdzfile*.kdz
upack the new .cab file with winrar or something like that, then run
LGExtract -wdb ***.wdb ***.dll
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
replace *** with the name of the files that you have unpacked
Now you should have a Folder caled BIN.
Use cd to enter that folder.
Run in cmd:
Code:
copy /b "LG****_AP[*].bin" "LG****_AP.bin"
Replace **** with p920 or su760 related to wich firmware you have downloaded.
Now use explorer to move the LG****_AP.bin in the folder where all the .exe files are.
Extracting the bin
Run in cmd
Code:
extract.exe ***_AP.bin
At first you will see all the partitions in the bin and their offsets,
then the tool will extract them to .img files, stay tuned this will take some time.
Root the system partition
You can skip this if you just want to replace a partition.
Rename the extracted sstem partition from something like "7 - system.img" to "system.img"
Download this:
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
and put it together with the system.img into a linux distro.
In linux unpack the zip and copy the superuser.apk and the su file
in the same directory with the img
go with the terminal in the folder with the system.img
and run:
Code:
sudo mkdir temp
sudo mount -o loop system.img temp
sudo cp superuser.apk temp/app
sudo cp su temp/bin
cd temp/app
sudo chmod 0644 superuser.apk
cd ..
cd bin
sudo chmod 6755 su
sudo umount temp
Copy the image back to windows.
Replace a Partition
Install winhex or an other hex editor.
Open the downloaded or extracted bin.
Go to offset that extract.exe showed you,
and select everything to the end of the partition and delete it.
The end of the partition is the offset + size of extract.exe showed you.
For example:
If the offset of the system partition is 00DA0000
and the size of is 2BC00000 the end of the partition is DA0000 + 2BC00000 = 2C9A0000
now open up the image you want to replace i with in hex editor,
select everything go back to the offset of the partition in winhex and paste it there,
just save it and you have your new own bin file ready to flash with LGFlashTool.
Hope this helps you, please post if you didn't understand anything, I forgot something or something is wrong.

and put it together with the system.img into a linux distro.
In linux unpack the zip and copy the superuser.apk and the su file
in the same directory with the img
go with the terminal in the folder with the system.img
and run:
Code:
sudo mkdir temp
sudo mount -o loop system.img temp
sudo cp superuser.apk temp/app
sudo cp su temp/bin
cd temp/app
sudo chmod 0644 superuser.apk
cd ..
cd bin
sudo chmod 6755 su
sudo umount temp
Copy the image back to windows.
Replace a Partition
Install winhex or an other hex editor.
Open the downloaded or extracted bin.
Go to offset that extract.exe showed you,
and select everything to the end of the partition and delete it.
The end of the partition is the offset + size of extract.exe showed you.
For example:
If the offset of the system partition is 00DA0000
and the size of is 2BC00000 the end of the partition is DA0000 + 2BC00000 = 2C9A0000
now open up the image you want to replace i with in hex editor,
select everything go back to the offset of the partition in winhex and paste it there,
just save it and you have your new own bin file ready to flash with LGFlashTool.
Hope this helps you, please post if you didn't understand anything, I forgot something or something is wrong.

How to extract Smasung Galaxy Pcket tar.md5 Stock ROM

A friend of mine Spent a lot of time searching how to extract Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 stock tar.md5 ROM!
That was for building Custom Arabic ROM because there is no Arabic Custom ROM for this Device yet.
i searched for a simple working Tutorial but i did not find ,, it is here in XDA Devs But Separated in more than thread..
So i just will refer to the threads and things are so simple:
A: Extracting tar.md5 ROM file : S5300JPLJ1_S5300OJPLI1_S5300XXLJ4_HOME.tar.md5
use this thred and TuT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265298
and this is the command for this ROM (you can copy and paste it into the Terminal) :
PHP:
./splitfus2 -a -s -w2 S5300JPLJ1_S5300OJPLI1_S5300XXLJ4_HOME.tar.md5
B: Extracting System.img file contents for editing : Use this :
Step 1 download dsixdas android kitchen
download and install Cygwin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
for windows go to the : 1) Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8) section.
Step 2 get your system.IMG and put it in original_update
Step 3 open terminal emulator or Cygwin in windows.
Go to where you extracted the kitchen
In my case its "cd kitchen"
Step 4 type ./menu wait for the GUI to pop up and choose create working folder and this will automatically extract the system.IMG that you have in your original_update folder
Step 5 wait and when its done it will mount system.IMG or something
Edited from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45369856&postcount=6
and go to the work folder and you will find everything extracted .
***** we request proffisional XDA developers help in editing and imporoving this thread please.*****
Sorry for off topic, is there any stable rom for our device that has android 4.+? Ca I ask for the link?
Thanks!
