[Q] Trying to update Xoom 4G, but I removed dungeondefenders.odex, I have system.img - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just can't find a way to extract what is in the .img files.
It's such a small file so shouldn't be hard to find.
Downloading it from the Play store does not resolve the issue
How can I re-acquire the needed .odex file and/or extract what I may need from the .img files?

Do you have a Backup of your system - if so restore your backup. If not google extract .img files and look for software.

No backup...I just need to find a way to extract the files from the .img files of which I did google but nothing useful came up

Sorry Bro. Do full wipe and start over from scratch, reinstall. I Hope all works out for ya. Peace-

Why the hell is it impossible for someone to find a way to get such a small measly file to get this stupid update to go through!!

Which update are you trying to apply? You will need the pre-updated file. 4g updates were 3.2.4 and 3.2.6.

I'm on 3.2.4 and trying to update to whatever it's asking me to update it to.

##PLEASE NOTE##
This file are from Motorola's Development site, I will not take liability with anything that happens with your device if something goes wrong.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS FILE ON ANYTHING BUT THE VERIZON WIRELESS MOTOROLA XOOM Z602 (4G MODEL) OR YOU WILL HAVE A SHINEY PAPER WEIGHT!!!!​

dungeondefenders.odex anyone?
Such a small file to find yet only option seems to flash...

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup...restore stock, pull file, restore backup. Or try just opening the img file with winrar.

Because that's the first thing you do when you are going to flash stuff. If you had done this the first time you wouldn't be in this situation.

Which file are you trying to extract?

The GB update kdz file.
You need an LG Utilties program to extract the KDZ files. There are some out there for the KP500 and GW520 but not sure if the same utility will work for the G2X P999 files. After that you need a program called unyaffsmbn (zips on internet) to extract the files further. Here is a GW520 Utility zip (attached to post) that I haven't tried yet. I was trying to do the same stuff you've been playing with. I haven't tried to extract the files yet. Another way is to grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. If someone is updating a phone the files are there long enough to copy, but I am not going to update my phone again just to grab the files.

They already have the GB update in the Development section. You could also just download the source code from LG.
People are after the baseband. That's not included on the rom files you mentioned.

This was my first approach but I didn't know where the files were extracted to so thanks. I managed to grab the extracted files by creating a symbolic link named Phone in that LGMOBILEAX directory. I pointed the symlink to another dierectory. I named it Test since I wasn't sure if this would work. I then ran the kdz updater (without my phone attached of course) and it extracted the kdz file to .\Phone which in turn saved them in my .\Test directory. The updater aborted when it detected there was no phone and the extracted files remained in the .\Test directory.
So now I have 2 files (it only extracted 2), Star_Model.dll and a .wdb file that is undoubtedly the firmware because its like a 180MB file. I tried extracting from the firmware using a couple different versions of LG utils that were floating around because they have an option to extract files from a wdb file, but they keep giving an error. I'll keep trying lol.
Any ideas?

Exactly. I don't know why we don't have a flashable baseband yet and maybe my approach is going to be a dead end. Is a flashable baseband even possible on this phone? I dunno lol. Nobody seems to be paying it (the baseband) any attention.
I want to see a flasable baseband and other wind subscribers would as well because to get it we would have to flash the gb update. That changes the splashscreen to tmobile making it unable to change back since we don't have the stock rom that I know of.

[Q] Can't establish a reliable connection to the Play Store

Hey guys,
I know that many of you have given a bunch of solutions to the error message saying that the play store can't establish a reliable connection. However, I've tried all of those methods and none have worked. I got here in the first place because I couldn't connect to the play store. When I cleared data, I was logged out and couldn't log back in. I've tried editing the host file using total commander,clearing cache/data, and even a factory reset. Do you guys have any solutions? Thanks in advance.
Did you run Towelroot?
If so a friend of mine went into system/etc/hosts and commented out one of the IP addresses and it worked fine. Factory resetting doesn't change back system files to my knowledge.

I'm not sure what towel root is, but that is exactly what I did using total commander. I put a # before the second address. That didn't work. Also, since resetting won't change system files, I tried flashing a factory image. However, when I try to download the latest image on my PC, the download shows up as a document and not as a zipped file. That means that there is no flash-all script to run. I've reached a wall lol if you could think of anything that would work, I would appreciate that. Also, thanks for replying!
Winrarlabs.com and get latest WinRAR and extract the .tgz file with WinRAR to same directory as fastboot. Flash all script will be there once you extract .tgz

Install winrar. Open the .tgz file via winrar and then extract all the files you get there. flash-all file will be among those files

2) You haven't unzipped the image-hammerheadxxx.zip that contains the images :/
but I have I followed the instructions to a T and put all file in the folder under platform tools

Not sure what instructions you've followed. Either they're incomplete or you made a mistake. Like I said, your screenshot shows a zip file. You need to unzip that in the location that it is in now

Link to guides in my signature.
I have similar issues. Mine complains that the archive doesn't contain boot.sig and recovery.sig, and then it fails to allocate space and the update package missing system.img.
Going to do it manually now to see if it works

Update Center apps

Hello everyone, can anyone pull out the LG folders from system/priv_app, upload them somewhere and give me a link? Cause they only ones showing up for me are the LG Backup and Quicksomething.
Or, even better, is there a way for me to pull those apps from the 5.11PR .kdz file?
I think there is a tool to extract to .kdz, but i could be wrong.
Another method might be to grab the pr .img from one of the root threads and extract that?

Yeah, there is, but I've got no idea how to use it properly, it gives me bin files, which I can't open. You might be right with the .img though, gonna give it a try tommorow.

First of all, thank you heaps LameMonster82, you are an absolute champion!!. I was searching for hours to find a kdz file for G710EM10p and your posting was the only one I found. For some reason the "thaks" buttob isn't visible to me.. maybe because I'm a new member.
I thought I could be helpful by listing the different KDZ files which are in your google drive folder so other people can find them while searching through google like I was.
In the above link from LameMonster82 there are following KDZ files for the LM-G710EM (European) variant of the LG G7 :
G710EM10b
G710EM10f
G710EM10k
G710EM10p
For the LG V40:
V405UA10c
V405UA10l
To install the KDZ file follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888
Thanks again

Download manages to get to 1 GB and then it drastically slows down and eventually fails. Via a download manager the farthest I got was 1,5 GB: although the download manager continued to download (it downloaded ~5 GB of data), the file was only 1,5 GB.

Doesn't seem to be something from me. Maybe Google's server are acting up or youre using your phone to download it. If you're using a phone it will sometimes do that. Try downloading another file and if not find a 10p version here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
I managed to download it! It went fine this time, I did not change anything on my side.
Thanks!

It's the system partition but it's empty because when you install an update the system copies there. A/B support
