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..!!??

rachit2588 said:

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...

[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.

[Q]Xposed flashed via Flashify

Has anyone tried this?

Unfortunately flashify still needs a custom recovery to flash zips.
Good thinking though, I really want xposed on my flex 2 too but it looks like we'll just have to wait for a recovery.

you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555

If someone else is willing to try this it would be great to know if it works.
I've already taken back 1 flex 2 because I bricked it, I don't want to risk doing it again with an app that hasn't been updated since 2013.

Yeah, I'll try it once TOTs are available in case I do brick it.
Edit: Anyone know how we can speed up the process to create return to stock files?

Seems flashing with flash gordon app is not possible... Phone reboots like normal and no framework got installed
If you softbrick your device follow the LG Flash Tool Guide... Takes about 10 - 15 mins till you are back on your homescreen with no data lost

Open up the zip and see the directory the files are stored in. Then in adb you would use command abd push (drag file here without the parenthesis) /system and hit enter. That would be the command if you were pushing a file to system. If you were pushing to a system app it would be adb push (drag app here) /system/app hit enter. If it was a framework file it would be adb push (drag file here) /system/framework hit enter. Get the drift? For a lib file it would be adb push (drag lib file here) /system/lib hit enter

Root Remix OS for PC

This guide is to root Remix OS for PC
You will need Ubuntu for Rooting (You can download and run it in live CD)
If you are experienced with linux systems don't read whats written in bracket
1. Download and Extract RemixRoot.zip
2. Copy system.img from your pendrive or hdd wherever you have installed Remix Os to this folder (ie RemixRoot folder it should be alongside Readme.txt)
3. Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
4. Type
Code:
sudo -i
5. Enter your password (If you are running in live cd then no password)
6. Change directory to RootRemix folder (Goto tmp folder, right click and goto properties and copy location, this is your <dir> replace it in command below )
Code:
cd <dir>
7. If you did it right next line of terminal will end with RemixRoot# followed by blinking cursor
8. Now run rootx.sh script by typing
Code:
sh rootx.sh
9. If everything goes right there wont be any error message and you will get a root.img in your RemixRoot folder
10. Rename it to system.img and copy to your pendrive/hdd replacing previous system.img
11. Reboot and go to RemixOS and update SuperSU binaries
12. That's it! you are now rooted
Thanks to Chainfire & hackarchive

I tried it but i got no system.img, i got r/w access to system (choosen by install) so i tried to symlink it to my system directory and commented out all image mounted related things from script and then tried it.
but after that i cannot boot android anymore, i think the problem is app_process linking to daemonsu, since i set back to original it boots like normal but no superuser access. SuperSU said theres is no superuser installed.
Any suggestion?

Silly question but will I lose root access if I update to the newest version by flashing the new image over the top?

Yes a silly question.... Deserves a silly answer. It will still be underneath, but good luck trying to retrace it!

any other method for rooting, without using ubuntu?

same problem here.

Hope same other method can solved

I modified the original script to work with the system folder installation and i removed all app_processX dependend things from script (dunno if it affects the root in any way, cannot find any issue by now) Read the Readme.txt for further installation instructions. The link you find on the reddit sub that GoPal has posted! I cannot post links right now.

the answer is replace the system folder. this is my methode :
1. copy the system img from the extracted remix iso to somewhere
2. then run the script
3. unpack the system img that already rooted and copy all the content to the system folder of the remix (replace)
4. done. Remix os rooted.

Guys, I installed Remix to ext4 partition (in order to use all free space), so there's no "system.img" on it (but there's "system" folder). How to modify the script or to root Remix other way?
masdeco, thanks for the idea! How do you unpack img file, btw?

after root the system img then mount it, copy all the content to the system folder of your remix.
since I am a linux user so I use this command :
mount -o loop system.img tmp

this is so cool cool

Works Lenovo Yoga 2 11
Installed to a partition on my HD:
Downloaded RemixOS iso
extracted contents of iso
created temp, data and system folders
ran this tool to root the system.img (now root.img)
renamed root.img back to system.img
mounted system.img to temp folder
copied contents of temp folder to system folder
added entry in grub

Thank You!!!

here is a xdelta3 for patching system.img for those using Remix OS 2 from a USB stick and run windows

it shouldn't be too hard to figure out, put the files in your folder of choice with the system.img from your usb stick, run the batfile. it should create a file named rooted system image, now just replace system.img on your usb stick with that and run...
ofcourse I am assuming your system.img is identical to the one I had, which it should be if it was the 2.0 dev preview which is the only thing you can get today, right?

[TOOL] Huawei Update Extractor Linux/Perl

Hi there, I recently started again playing with custom roms and I needed to extract official UPDATE.APP files in Linux. Here there is a perl script to extract and verify imgs from update packages.
How To Use
Code:
# copy splitupdate, crc and UPDATE.APP files
chmod +x splitupdate
chmod +x crc
./splitupdate UPDATE.APP
Sources/Download
The tool has been forked from JoeyJiao and available at https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl.
Windows GUI
If you prefer to use a GUI, you can use the excellent Huawei Update Extractor from @worstenbrood (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454).
As usual, you use it at your own risk.

Reserved.

AFAIK there is official Huawei Extract Tool available...

You have to mount and extract the system.img in linux with sim2img. It's complicated.

i already found how to do it properly,notcomplicated at all, i will provide how-to asap provided by @Blefish( i am actually in two weeks holidays...so some patience is needed).

Well, I meant complicated for the average user but I guess you're not the average user then

here is how-to:
I was able to use simg2img like this:
simg2img SYSTEM.img SYSTEM.img_raw
Then you can do
sudo mkdir /media/<username>/temp
and afterwards
sudo mount SYSTEM.img_raw /media/<username>/temp
open it via terminal such as
nautilus /media/<username>/temp
You should be able to copy out of the mounted directory.
You cannot make dirs and files in the mounted dir
But if there is a problem you can do
chown <username>:<username> /media/<username>/temp

I get the error message
Code:
extracting SHA256RSA (256.00B)...Unable to create SHA256RSA.img: No such file or directory

You're awesome. and... Perl?

Code:
./splitupdate UPDATE.APP

Sorry for reviving this thread, but this tool has helped me a ton.
I was wondering, do you have a source for the crc binary, or happen to know where it came from?
I'm porting this to Android, well I have already, but that executable doesn't run on Android. It works great without it but would be nice if it actually checked checksum xD

This is awesome. Really grateful to what you've done. I always used to switch to Windows just for extracting the update app. Can't thank you enough.

I was trying to extract some UPDATE.APP files for the Huawei Ascend Y300, but all the files seem to be named "INPUT" leading to each file in ./output overwriting its predecessor. So I changed line 119 to
Code:
open(OUTFILE, ">$BASEPATH$fileType$fileLoc.img") or die "Unable to create $fileType.img: $!\n";
to have unique filenames. I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do that, maybe by checking whether the file already exists, but this was the quickest fix I could think of.
Now I only need a way to find out what these files are. Any hints how to do that? I found an old thread with a similar script that had another script that "guessed" the files, but everything is dead google docs links (those seem to be a pattern on dated android-related projects...).

Hey guys,
The script works and thank you for your job. However, I don't like Perl and I decided to re-write this tool from scratch using Rust (as an exercise).
The script that I made is multi-threaded, i.e. faster in the extraction, and specially it doesn't require so much memory. In fact, I have a computer with a small amount of memory and I couldn't use your script, because it uses too much RAM (e.g. when it extracts SYSTEM.img that is big).
The negative aspect of my script is that actually the error handling is weak, so for example I don't even check the crc of the extracted files. Btw, it should work, also if I'm not gonna take any responsability.
The script is open-source, thus you can change it as you wish, submitting pull requests or forking it.
Click here to be redirected on the github page, there is also a pre-compiled version for Linux 64 bit.

Helped me a lot actually, thank you!

Great work.
I tried: Huawei_MediaPad T1 8.0_Firmware_Android 4.3_EMUI 1.6.
OS: Sabayon Linux.
(Ottimo lavoro. Grazie!)

For me, it just gives a single file (input.img), because it tries to extract all files with the same name (each overwriting the last one). Tested with Huawei Y210D update.app
btw Rust version by Nrin does the same.
