Version 1.9.9.8 attached

Awesome thanks, will def check this out.

useful tool

How can i dump the roofs?
can i restore it after backup?
Thank you.

This tool execute this command :
dd if=/dev/block/<partition> of=/sdcard/<partition>.raw ibs=8192 obs=8192 conv=notrunc
So you can do the reverse command (not in the tool because dangerous)

Update v1.1 : You can create yaffs images now

Ok, thank you.

Ok, been using this for a while now; couple suggestions.
1. Copy feature needs to work more like Root Explorer.
---- So when you long-press and copy a file, two buttons popup, Paste and Cancel - Maybe you could even add a third to paste quickly to a favourites folder without leaving working directory ?
2. Be able to change text size of file browser. I have big fingers heh.
3. Have a Mount/Unmount button similar to the Mount R/W in Root Explorer.
--- I find I cant copy anything to anywhere, am I just missing something ?
4. Select multiple files, and copy, delete, zip, move . . . . . to favourites ?
5. Compress files or folders and save zip to a saved favourites without leaving working directory.
6. Load apk icons maybe; easier to find things sometimes.
7. Show favourites picker on program startup. I'm always working in the same directories.
A built in text editor with line numbers would be awesome. Maybe an sqlite editor addon too ?
I like what this looks like so far; I really like that you can see symlinks, the dropdown with recent paths, nandroid dumps of any partitions (nice), and the favorites are cool. Just hoping it can take over for root explorer.
Keep up the great work so far. Will be keeping on eye on this for sure.

Thanks for your report
First, i dont want to copy Root Explorer or all these slow and "3 lines" explorers... So no image/movies preview... This tool is focused on system files exploration
Apk icons maybe but not in my prority (filter by name is nice), line size : not for the moment (maybe a zoom or something later)
The multiselect on click is almost ready (for files), to keep folder navigation
the Mount/Unmount will be in tools menu later (in mounted devices menu) i need to make a new window for that... but that need work (and could make lot of reports from unknown devices, like chinese ones)
Compression.... yea hmm v2.0

Hm. I tried this, but it is a lot slower than Root Explorer. Perhaps this is because it shows a lot more objects, or due to it having a lot of features I do not directly associate with a program to manage files. Still, I can not say that having more competition is a bad thing, so keep up the good work

its because the tool use a terminal process to list folders, and a new one on each refresh... I think i can optimize that if i keep the shell process opened.
but Root enabled, its 5x slower (220ms instead of 40ms)... i think there could be a problem with superuser tool, will try to uninstall it to check...

to remount In fact like others :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount,relatime -t rootfs rootfs /
This feature will be available in some minutes (v1.3.0)
But to dump... you need to skip /proc /tmp and /sys

Hi.
I´m using your app in a Samsung galaxy S.
I lost one file and I want to recover it from a CWM backup.
Your app lets me read the backup, but I cant save the needed file ...
Is there a possibility to extract it from the backup?
Thanks in advance

Its the next step yaffs extraction...
sorry, not for the moment (but soon)
just made an update v1.3.2 which really enhance exploration speed...

I hope you release it soon
Thanks

I can't Dump Partition. A circular thing shows up then it disapear and no text saying records in+out and that it finished (like in the screenshot). And there is no file on my SD card and yes I have plenty of space.
Tried several of the small 512k partitions and the Boot and Recovery partitions.
I'm running rooted froyo 3.4.2-155, few bloat APK's removed.

this feature uses busybox "dd" applet, try to set another busybox in setting window
you can search for them in other apps, do a search in /data/data/

[HowTo] Easily deodex (System-)Apps and extract StockFirmwares

Hey guys,
for all Dev´s and maybe for user that want to deodex new Firmwares. Here´s my guide how to easily deodex (system-)apps on windows. You don´t need your phone!
Our Situation: A new firmware is released, nobody uploaded the deodexed apps but you want them. So you need:
Step one, Download:
xUltimate
Magic ISO Maker
The Firmware you want to deodex from here
You can find more Information about xUltimate and his author at
http://www.xeudoxus.com/android/xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip
I´m using latest Gingerbread 2.3.5 Stock Firmware KNP in this tutorial, but you can use any other one you want.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step two, extract all files you need
Extract the xxxKP*.zip or .rar (PW: samfirmware.com)
If this file is a one-package you will only finde one file there (like I9003SERKPN_HOME.tar.md5). In this case, extract this one with 7zip or Winrar - else skip this step
You should now have files like "boot.bin", "chache.rfs", "normalboot.img"... in your folder
Now Extrace xUltimate.zip
Open Magic ISO Maker
(When you run it, you will be asked if you want to buy full program-version, press "Try it"
It should now look like this:
Now klick on "File"->"Open"-> Select all files -> Double click on the system.rfs in your Firmware Folder
All this files and folders you now see are later on your device under /system
Remember your xUltimate folder. Drag and drop all files in the opened Magic ISO Maker from /system/app to xUltimate folder origi_app
Drag and drop all files in the opened Magic ISO Maker from /system/framework to xUltimate filder origi_frame
Close Magic ISO Maker
Go on with the second post...

Run Main Skip.bat
Type "4" and press enter
All your Framework apps will be now deodexed
Run Script again and type "3" and press enter
All System apps will now be deodexed
All the deodexed Apps are now located in the folders done_app and done_frame. Finished! If you don´t now how to push the files to your system i can create a tutorial for this in third post. If something goes wrong post in this thread and i will help you

Resereved for future use

I know deodexing but really thanx for telling to us how to extract system.rfs file. It will help me alot.

OK!
i deodex all apps... but how create a file.zip and install with CWM???

u can copy all the files on ur sdcard and move them to ur system folder with rootexplorer..

No one is mentioning the fact that u need to delete the *.odex from /system/app and /system/framework too.
and why do we need another thread when we have one from kkrraazzyy.

Use MagicISO to open system.rfs and then you can extract the files within it.

I have create a file To restore with nandrod, but in cwm dont see... i can't install this... why??

your third post is wanted

This method didn't work for me magic iso fail to open system.rfs file saying it's not a image file
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk

Start MagicISO
File
Open
In the File select window,
select all files and then find system.rfs
it will load the data.

Thank you the guide is very neatly explained just add what Ganesh said in first post (deleting odex files)

[Tutorial] How to change kernel logo (1st boot srceen) [COMPLETED]

We have 3 major works here... So I gonna to make it seperated
-1st post is HOW TO EXTRACT kernel.img (boot.img)
-2nd post is HOW TO CONVERT PICTURE FILE to BOOT.RLE
-3rd post is HOW TO REPACK THE KERNEL PAKAGE into boot.img
Requiredment
-Window machine
-installed cygwin
-the full boot.img/kernel (some kernel won't work because there is no full pakage/ i mean we can't)
-bootimg.zip (tool for UNPACK and REPACK kernel)
-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar
Thank and Credit
i- Credit to DooMLoRD Recognized Developer over most of XPERIA devices for his own tool and tutor that I learned before
ii- Credit to jimbo77 Senior Member for his tutorial that I used and learned and tool for unpack and repack
ii- Don't forget to give them a thanks meter
=============================================================================
Here we go
1-This section I will show u how to unpack and repack the boot.img
just see from original thread by jimbo77 from here and download the UNPACK and REPACK tool by him HERE
this is a fast guide from me:-
1-extract the bootimg-tools.zip into new folder (name it 'boot' folder)
2-move it into cygwin directory (cygwin/boot)
3- move your fav kernel into same directory
4-run cygwin.bat
cd /boot

Click to collapse

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5-Now, unpack your boot.img by running the following command:
./extractboot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your output looks like this, then the extraction has worked correctly! Note that the Command Line string has also been read from the source file, this will be used later when you go to re-pack your file.
Your script folder should now look like this:
boot.img-kernel is the compiled kernel blob that was inside the source boot.img, if you want to replace the kernel with another compiled kernel image, you can replace this file with another one (but leave the file name the same)
boot.img-ramdisk.gz is the gzipped ramdisk image which has been split from the boot.img, you should leave this file alone.
The “out” folder contains the EXTRACTED ramdisk, and this is where you should make your changes to the ramdisk.
Important Note!
Remember, when editing files in the ramdisk through Windows, such as init.rc, Windows notepad will not format the files correctly, making them almost impossible to read, wheras Wordpad will LOOK like it is formatting the files correctly, if you save one of these files from the Wordpad application it will BREAK the file and it will no longer be able to be read correctly by Android. To edit these files you MUST use an editor such as Notepad++ which you can download for free.
AGAIN...
Special thanks/credit to jimbo77 for his excellent guide

So.. NEXT step to change a kernel logo is here
Requiredment
1-a picture what are u like to look into the 1st boot screen (kernel logo) (make sure it size/resolution same your device resolution)
2-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar
3-some infos and knowledges here
4-window machine like i explained on 1st post
My quick guide
-extract the tool.rar
-move extracted files into new folder (name it 'rle' folder without quote)
-move into cygwin folder (to make it easy to follow my simple guide)
-copy your own logo.png (a picture u want to use on a kernel) into same rle folder
(for 4 steps above it shold look like tis)
-now launch cygwin.bat
cd /rle
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
./convert_image_to_rle.bat logo.png
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ah...my mistake..don't forget to move/copy/replace new logo.rle into
C/cygwin/boot/out/ramdisk/here
if you done good...follow next step on next post (to repack your moded kernel)

Last step before you flash a new look kernel (boot.img) is
Repack your moded kernel
./packboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
One thing to note that people may mention in other guides, is that when packing boot.img files, you will usually have to declare a base address, and a command line to the packaging tool. This set of scripts reads the existing command line and base address from the boot.img file you originally provided at the time of repacking, so always make sure you leave your original source boot.img file in the folder and do not re-name it after extraction, your newly created boot.img file will be named boot_new.img and will NOT overwrite the original.
Done! If your screen looks like the image above, then you should now have a freshly created boot_new.img file, ready to be flashed to Android for testing, you can now go ahead and flash it through FASTBOOT one thing I'll recommend though is to first do

I need this for extra (extra thanks..)

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin
[Extremely Noob GUIDE]Since there is no explained and easy Guide to Extract Kernel [zimage] and Ramdisk [Ramdisk] from Boot.img, Then Convert it to zimage.tar and Flash it using Odin
Well here it is step by step:
Note: This Method is used to Extract Kernels form Stock Rom's Boot.img
First you need to install Python, which is round about 17MBs software freely available on python website.
Step 1:Download the attached Python script named "split_boot_img" from attachments down Below, Extract it and copy to the folder created in Step 2.
Step 2:Create a folder with any name you like. I recommend "boot.img extraction".
Step 3: Copy the boot.img, you want to extract, to the folder you created in Step 2.
Step 4: Run the script named "split_boot_img"by double-clicking and see the magic.
Congratulations!!! Here you go. the "zimage" and "ramdisk" files are extracted.
Now the Conversion Part:
Step 1: Download this IZARC software and install it from Here:http://www.izarc.org/download.html
Step 2: Open the folder created in First-Step 2.
Step 3: Right Click the ziamge File Extracted from boot.img. as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 4: Select add to archive file from IzArc right click options as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 5: Now scroll the Archiving type to ".tar" as in Image 2 in attachments.
Step 6: Click the Add button as in Image 3 in attachments.
Last Step: Now flash the "zimage" file created in Step 6 Using Odin.

Maybe he should have put in that you need to use Python 2.7.9 not 3.x ... Had the same problem.
All steps worked after, but didn't flash it yet, I'll do it today or tomorrow.
Also you should mention IZArc is full of crapware, it open one install and even if I chose to not install stuff, it installed iStart and Search Enginer extensions to my browsers. After, surprise, another install showed up to actually install IZArc ... not I need to de-crap my system

Did the kernel.img actually work for you? I tried this same process as well. It took me 4 hours to clean all the maleware from my laptop. I mad the .Tar file and tried to flash it. it failed completely. I think this OP needs to be removed. More than likely the OP is getting paid for all the downloads he is tricking people into.

No, it failed also. Yes, it should be removed.
Ended up using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 but for a strage reason Odin would not like it when I moved the .tar archive from a folder to an other from that method (I keep my pc organized), had to create the tar, flash it from that folder, then... deleted it because after I couldn't use it anymore.

Flashing any modified boot / kernel / recovery trips Knox, doesn't matter what method you use. Sometimes even stock trips Knox as some users said.
What i did was take a stock rom from SamMobile that was 'hackable' through TowelRoot, extracted the kernel with WinRar, made the kernel flashable in Odin using that tool, flashed it via Odin, rooted device with TR, then used same steps to download,extract,make kernel bootable to restore my original kernel. Knox stayed 0x0 on i9195.
You can try reading about Heimdall. Supose you can flash without Odin and without converting. It would make your life easier, but for me it didn't work (didn't start on Win 64bit, i think i needed another MS visual c++ , a dependency of Heimdall).
ps.: the tool to create flashable archives would't work for me just by double-clicking, so I had to open an command prompt - CMD with admin rights, go to the directory where i had the tool and type ImgToTar.MD5.bat . Just put everything in C:\tool including recovery.img / boot.img or kernel.img then go start-> type in search box CMD -> right-click on the result and Run as admin -> in the black box type the next text followed by Enter key:
cd /
cd tool
ImgToTar.MD5.bat

I hope it works, i need it for the same reason of you, flashing an older kernel to root with towelroot keeping knox 0x0 at the end of this process

*/WARNING
This tool is in [B]BETA[/B] phase and is not for noobs. If you use this, you are choosing to play with your device on your own.
I will not be responsible for any damage to your device or your belongings in your home.
If you blame me for anything that goes wrong I'll die laughing at you/*
Hello all!
Today I present you F2I converter. This tool can convert system folder back to ext4 image format suitable for flashtools without cygwin.
Basically, this tool was made in keeping mind the format used by lollipop structure where dat files were converted to ext4 format and then unpacked, repacking them was kind of hard (or lazy to do so in my case) as it required linux or Cygwin [Based on Xpirt's Guide. Now I've always preferred a way to avoid linux and cygwin
I managed to put together a set of tools that can easily convert the extracted system folder back to img for flashing and in lollipop can be converted back to dat format on windows.
So this is what this tool is capable of! If you on lollipop and want @xpirt guide to do so then here it is - [HOW TO] Lollipop DAT files | Compression and Decompression
FEATURES
• Supports all Android Versions
• Works without Linux or cygwin
• Generates Log that help to troubleshoot the issues
• No extra software required (Except Git for Windows)
• Supports both way conversion
• Suggest more features
• Much more to come!
HOW TO USE
You need GIT for windows to run this tool. Kindly download and install GIT from HERE
Now install GIT and when you're done download F2I converter and extract it in core C: directory. There will be a folder names as "IMG_WIN" kindly make sure it is extracted in C:
Recommended GIT is v 1.9.4 or newer.
Mostly everything is self-explanatory in the tool but when you will convert "SYSTEM" folder back to "EXT4 img" format you will be asked to enter size in bytes.
Here is what you are asked to do..
1) Open the system.img inside the respective folder you're working on and then right click on it and click Properties
2) In General tab you'll see something like this
Now copy the highlighted part and paste in the box shown below in image
Now you can continue. Ahead

BUGS
This tool is in BETA phase so you are likely to face some bugs. Though I have paid a lot of attention while creating this tool but you may encounter some small code errors (like path not found etc) I request you to kindly see for yourself and correct it.
You are likely to face this error mostly though
Code:
error in bla bla bla ..... failed to allocate block [NUMBERS] out of space?
If you encounter something like this then it will not work with your files. This will occur mostly in Android 2.3.x-4.4.x and in some cases with 5.0 and 5.1
I am trying to fix this issue. Please co-operate
Rest no major bug.

what about "file_contexts"? can/should the original be retained?
large size difference between original "system.transfer.list" and modified one ok?

Doesn't work for me. I'm unable to find system.img. So I downloaded "sda2img.exe" and I made system.img with it. Then, when I try to recompress system folder in DAT format, there is this problem ( see the screenshot ).
Then I noted that after using it, in "Working_Do_Not_Touch", system.transfer.list and system.new.dat get losts.

Thanks for trying out the tool. You must use same file_contexts
As per your issue sir thing is the output is cleaned up and no file is left back. I request you to try the size from xpirts post on this. Kindly check that and reply back.

[system_new.img?]
Any ideas on how to fix this:
When I try repacking [system folder] back to [system.new.dat] the program throws an error : File not found -- system_new.img
