How to unpack system.IMG

Im trying to unpack system.IMG from the ruu and running into.issues.
Unyaffs.exe gives an error. And every other unpack tool I can think of fails.
Any ideas? Has anyone unpacked this yet?

It doesn't use the yaffs filesystem. you need to unpack with explore2fs.exe on windows or in linux since it is ext4

Its EXT4.
The attached tool "should" do it for you. Its what I used...
I cannot however attrribute credit to the tool because I honestly do not know where it came from but its freeware GNU 3. The license is in the Help -> About.
Enjoy!

I dont beleive explore2fs will read ext4. You need to use the one I posted above. Could be wrong as I am at work right now

your the man, that worked I thought it was yaffs and nothing I did worked, it was driving me crazy lol.
2nd thing tho. the img file is 1.2gb, but after i extract it its about 697mb.. are there some hidden files that are not being extracted?

Your saying JUST system.img is 1.2GB but extracts to /system/ as 697MB?
Thats some serisous backwards compression
700 Megs sounds about right for /systesm/ image. I can look when I get home. Maybe Con has it close by?

What version do you have? I tried with the (what I thought was) latest and it wouldnt read it. I then tried with the other and it was fine. Can you post the version you have that read it?

Wow, 500 Megs in slack? Now thats efficency!
But 700 megs sounds right to me for a sys img. I will in a few hours, at work now... Maybe can remopte desktop in... LMS...

Ok, RDP and 4G is AWESOME!
I can confirm what you are seeing is 100% correct.
I never noticed that before....
I also compared this with an Evo 3D ROM and it matches up proportionately....

Windows is not looking at it as a ext4 file system. Its looking at it as a single IMG file that is 1.x GB's big.

[The way to root V20B bin ROM]

After doing some research on the bin format rom, i finally find the system.img offset in the v20 bin rom。
tool we need
winhex other HEX edit tool ,yaffs2img or other ext3 img editor.
Step
1.open the LGP920AT-00-V20b-ESA-XXX-JAN-10-2012+0_AP.bin in winhex or other HEX edit tool.
2. use winhex to dump the content from offset
0XB80000 to the end, and save the dump as system.img .
3. now you can use yaffs2img or other ext3 edit tool to edit the img. add su to bin/ (set permission 6755 ),add supperuser.apk to app/ (set permission 0644).
4,save the changes to the img.
5. write the img back to the bin.
6. flash the bin (you know how to right ?)
test fine on my 3D

Ok,where can we find that bin rom???

great work..
can you share your modified bin ????
it would be great to try .....
actually this is required to have modified and pre-rooted roms, those can be flashed direstly

Nope, haven't had any dropped calls/sms or any problems related to basebands. I was surprised too since I read that there were issues with the Gingerbread baseband.

i see, btw how is the video recording for 20b? i experiencing persistent stuttering when recording 1080p on my class 6 sandisk for 21a/b, 20e .. froyo seems smoother. but very bad memory management :/
strange thing is that stutters appear to happen when my sd running very low space. but was very smooth when there is tons of space left.

Haven't tried video recording yet, only had this phone for about 2 weeks

[Q] How to extract build.prop from system.img

I have the stock rom for the Galaxy S6 Cricket variant... I am having trouble in getting the build.prop from the system.img. I have tired many methods from other threads but none seem to work. Any suggestions or working ways to extract the build.prop from the system.img or any way to open up the .img file.
I am doing this to post the rom in the ROM WIP section for the root.

Try the tools in this thread . I used them last week to extract a build prop.
Just load up the system.IMG and drag the file from the system folder to your desktop.

I got your PM. Sorry for the late reply. I'm posting here in case someone else needs the info.
Download Ext2explore.
Extract to your PC.
Run as administrator.
In app: go to file - open image - (find your system image) and open
It will display your image in tree and folder view
Use either one (depending on your preference) (but your build.prop will be in the first view as its in the root of the system).
Right click the file/s you want to extract
Select save
Save your file.......profit
Hope this helps

AT&T H810 Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode Solution

I have Just Repaired my H810 after 6 month dead . Now I have full procedure to recover any LG Phone witch has in this condition ,there is no download mode,no recovery and nothing sign of life..
Now you want *.img from running AT&T /h810v10o/H81020n/ h81021z/h81022b (lolipop/marshmallow baseband ) Firmware because there is no full stock firmware available .
Create Backup.img From Running h810v10o/H81020n/ h81021z/h81022b (lolipop/marshmallow baseband ) rooted system
1.Format external MicroSD card with exFAT system file , ( Most Important thing is SD card more than 32GB (which is size of the whole partition) use 64Gb or 128Gb card
2.Do a full factory reset from CWM TWRP or any recovery
3.Now open ADB shell
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=579584
it will take around sone time
Size of the backup.img is arround 32gb
Now You have backup.img in your hands
now same method to unbrick
Steps to Unbrick:
1. Insert your memory card in Card Reader and Format it using Windows Format. While formatting "uncheck Quick Format" and Change Type to "exFat". You can alternatively use SD Card Formatter but make sure that the card is in exFat format.
if exFAT not works than try to format with FAT32
2. Once format is completed, install Win32DiskImager and open it. Add SystemImage.bin file. If it does not show the bin file just rename SystemImage.bin to SystemImage.img and then select it. Select your memory card and Click Write.
(You can alternatively change the file types on the win32diskimage from .img to all types)
Win32diskimage
3. One the Write Completes. Eject Card and insert in your LG G4 H810. Press Volume Up Button while connecting the USB Cable.
4. There you go, it will open the download mode. Now Open LGUP Tool as admin. It will show the device as connected. Select the Original KDZ/TOT Firmware and Click Start. it will complete and your Mobile will reboot.
5. Now its Done. Enjoy!
or u can use eMMC ADB Dumper
dump boot1
and boot2
any of one images works to get download mode

does anyone have download link

GENTLEMAN I HAVE JUST SOLD MY PHONE , you need a Running H81020n/ h81021z/h81022b (marshmallow baseband ) (marshmallow ,old baseband not supported)rooted system to create bin file . i ahve already posted to create bin file method , believe me its work 100% . no other files works because h810 have different partition size ( not work 811,812,815,818 bin file ) , important thing is that you need a working marshmallow rooted h810 to create files . one thing is also important that you need to 32 gb microsd or greater to backup the image

LG Aristo 3 X220MA Root Search

So I just got the Aristo 3 and wanted to root it. after an extensive search I have come up empty. Does anyone know if there is a method available to use yet or maybe something is in the works? I've unlocked flashing but I cant seem to boot recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same ive spent about 6 hours researching this ive never built my own root before however i just dont have the time to do whats needed. From what i researched get the original boot rom from lg bridge and perform a restore to download the factory boot image then use magisk to rebuild the image

Hmm I'll give it a try. The phone is still new enough that I don't have much saved to it and if I brick it can take it back

should be able to just get the boot image may be the aristo 2 dev would pick this up since he's familiar with it I see you have a few posts in that forum maybe you can send that dev a message see if they would pick it up.

I eagerly await any progress in this run! My girlfriend cracked her screen on her Aristo 2 and decided that it was time to upgrade. I've never been disappointed in the idea of upgrading my phone...until it meant giving up my Aristoboy Mk.2(which was/is quite formidable)and rooted status along with it. If there is anything I might read about the process online, I would at very least consider the task myself. I am learning, but I have some decent skills and experience behind me. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. If not, I hope to see the first strides towards tackling this latest addition to the Aristo line!
My thanks to all my fellow devs here! You each make up a piece of the whole collection that make this, hands down the best forum/online community available the world over! Keep it up! We are making a difference in so many lives!
Your friend,
~[ProTech]~

So I've been busy as **** lately, but I found that the issue seems to be with the os more than the phone itself. I'm not that proficient with downgrading the os to a earlier version since this phone came stock with Oreo. I will try and talk to some of the devs who did the aristo 2 x210ma. Hopefully they have a solution. I've been using my 2 instead. I never realized how much you can't do with a stock phone and os.

OK here's something you can try...
first get dev-patched LGup {GooGle It}
then use the Dump function of Lgup to dump All partitions from your fone...
look for boot_COM{some#here} and rename it to boot.img
put that file on your fones sdcard and install magisk manager app.
use magisk manager app to patch that boot.img file.
find the new file patched_boot.img whereever magisk put it on your sdcard...
move it to your desktop or a folder etc. on P.C
now try to flash it to your fone...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
if that works your bootloader is now unlocked you'll have to reboot the fone once as it'll erase cache and data...
after that
again do
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now try
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
if that works....
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you'll have root by magisk.
if fastboot's not working other option is to rename "patched_boot.img" to "boot.img"
and then use Partitions DL option in lgup to flash the "patched"boot.img to the phone...
if that works you'll have root by magisk...
If this helped you feel free to hit thanks and come back to post the results plz.

My bootloader is already unlocked I've just not been able to flash anything with fastboot. So I have LGup, is there a difference with the dev patched one? I also have magisk on my phone, but it really doesn't give me any options besides to install a new version. I'm gonna go try your suggestion soon though...it sounds promising...and may open up other options if this doesn't succeed. Thanks I'll keep you posted.

I didn't see any file in the partition list matching that. I did see the boot partition and many others that I didn't recognize. So kinda feeling that we are back to

No the file wont say that in lgup, it'll be named that after you create a new folder on desktop call it "Dump" then use the dev-patched lgup and Dump option, select the folder Dump on the desktop and select the little checkbox for all on partitions list and click start...
also you may be haveing issues because of the .dll your useing... will lgup flash a stock .kdz to the device?
if yes, I'd think the dump option would work fine...

So yes it would load a stock formware but no it wouldn't allow me to dump even one partion. And the strange thing was that my list of options would chanhe sometimes. Like it would give me more options i.e. phonesettings. I even tried different cables and ports. It doesnt matter though i somehow hard bricked it so bad that it won't even. Boot to download mode and somehow fried my sim card to the point it wont work in any other phone. Im just waiting for metro to open so i can try again

OH WOW what a mess...
I would say it's the .dll in the LGUP causing pain here...
something you can try when you're ready to try again....
remove/uninstall devpatched LGUP and install regular store version
use the Common .dll
and add this file{ UI_Config.lgl } to your Common folder in the lgup install location ...
to make it easier I'll just zip up My common folder for you to replace yours
to do this
right click on lgup, select open file location...
navigate to the model subfolder you'll see things like
{ AllinOne } {Common} and {LGUP_LGNPST} folders...
at that point just right click and rename {Common} folder to {Commonbak},
then take my zip file I'm attaching and unzip it and inside will be Common folder...
just Copy / Paste that new Common folder to where the old one is..
set permissions of folder { read-only} and open the folder find file called { UI_Config.lgl }
and set it's permissions to READ ONLY . otherwise it'll be erased once you start LGUP.
and see If that changes anything with being able to Dump...
It's let me dump every LG i've plugged into it...
so I should think it should work for you too...

Dude...
First off let me say MertoPCS has the biggest pile of **** customer care department. I'm still waiting on my new device to comr from the warrenty department. I did however fix the sim issue (again metro sucks leaky bowels). I will definitely post any new developments as soon as the happen.
Oh also i did a dump on another phone (aristo 2) and had no issuses. And i saw what ypu meant with the boot_COM##. Thanks for the help.

it may work,
when lgup is being a pain it's worth a try.
I say go for it. but to be certain I'd try flashing the extracted boot.img with partitions DL option in lgup once to make sure it flashes it b4 trying to patch it and flash it again...
Just my 2 cents.

Aristo3 FW: X220MA10B "10b" came on the system stock
LGUP V1.14 - patched
DLL v1.0.28.17
The above dll is the only one I have found that will recognize the phone and load LGUP, I have also attempted to use uppercut: Error DLL for X220M10b is invalid install a valid dll
https://imgur.com/1Ptrv3n
however, once i attempt to dump phone reboots into download mode i get: Error: 0x2000, please use latest Dll LAF protocol version is not match dll=0 device 162512928
https://imgur.com/5I7GfOa
I attempted to use the LGUPC DLL from the kdz V 10E firmware and that did not recognize the device i also attempted to use your zipped commons.
any feedback on this?
I feel that i should use LG tool update to 0F then use the 0F kdz to attempt all this?

DOWNGRADE Don't UPGRADE

If at all posible find the OLDEST firmware possible in kdz and do a full flash of that .
and try your dll mod with that by extracting the dll from said kdz and renaming to what ever the one in Common folder is and keep the UI_Config.lgl in there to keep the extra options if possible...
It's all trial and error with this stuff, so keep at it.
DO NOT flash a firmware.kdz from a different model of the device as it'll flash aboot sbl etc and you'll end with a brick that can't be fixed.
and I've always liked { in my experiments} to use the partitions DL option even when downgrading etc to be able to NOT CHOOSE the boot-stack partitions...
but give it a shot and tell us how it go's.
we may be able to split a root-bounty if we come up with something working across users
