[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

No one is mentioning the fact that u need to delete the *.odex from /system/app and /system/framework too.

Start MagicISO

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)

My device is LG GX F310, original boot.img 24MB, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx0NlR3rjLYeUS14YmxESGc3bWc/edit?usp=docslist_api after unpacked and repacked new boot.img only has 11MB. And can't boot into system. Could you help me?

Work with MT6752?

this tool isn't working under Windows 10, that unpack all files except "rmdisk" folder.
the rmdisk is empty...

I tried to use this tool to unpack the lienageOS recovery ROM from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s5neolte/install
When I change the name and drag it to unpack it, it doesn't work and I get these error messages.
'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program o - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
pastebin.com
Am I doing something obvious wrong?

I tried it for my stock boot.img(Mi 11 lite 5g NE-Snapdragon 778G) and the unpacked items didn't satisfy me. Looks like it isn't for snapdragon chipset. BTW I'm looking for similar tool to extract kernel from boot.img of this device.Thnaks though for uploading the tool.

[TUTORIAL] Create Flashable Zip From Nandroid Backup [Complete]

Create A Flashable ROM From Your Nandroid Backup
►►Requirements◄◄
An OS (Linux/Windows)
Your CWM Or TWRP Backup
7zip On Windows
Archive Manager On Linux (Preferably Download p7zip)
► ► Get Started ◄ ◄​
FOR CWM​#1. Transfer the CWM backup from Phone to PC.
#2. Extract system.ext4.tar file with any of the archive apps like Winrar or 7zip, you will get the system folder of your device containing all the files.
#3. Gather the boot.img from the CWM backup.
#4. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
#5. Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
#6. That’s it, your flashable Zip is now ready and you can flash it using any custom recovery.
For TWRP Backup​#1. Transfer the TWRP backup from Phone to PC.
#2. You’ll see a file named system.ext4.win which is the System partition backup of your device. Rename it to system.ext4.tar (Changing its extension from .win to .tar)
#3. Extract the system.ext4.tar using an archive software like Winrar or 7zip.
#4. If your TWRP backup is not in compression mode, you will directly get the system folder, else you will get a file named system.ext4, which should be renamed again to system.ext4.tar and extract it to get the system folder.
#5. Take the boot.emmc.win file and rename it to boot.img.
Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
#6. Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
►►Some Important Notes◄◄​
#1. On Linux If You Are Confused To See .tar.a files, don't worry rename it to .tar and then they will work on linux.
#2. Windows Users Should Use 7 ZIP, They Can Download It From Here :- http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
#3. Use Meta INF Preferably From CM Zip. (Just Incase)
#4. Your Final Folder Should Look Like This Before You ZIP It!

Modify your CUSTOM RECOVERY! (Full Tutorial) TeamWin Recovery

Welcome root users!
Today we are going to do something really cool!
Now every root user should know what a custom recovery is. It's basically a modified recovery with more functions than a stock recovery. Every root user should have one.
Please note that this tutorial is ONLY for users that run TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project).
I do not know if this method will work for other recoveries like Philz Touch! If you are going to attempt this on a recovery like Philz Touch, be VERY CAREFUL and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make a backup of your recovery!!!!!!!!
Custom recoveries are cool and all, but wouldn't it be awesome if you could actually MODIFY your own recovery? Your question would be simple as this: "Is is possible?".
Well of course it is! Recoveries are in .img format. If we were to extract the img, we would get a ramdisk folder. Inside would be your root folders along with your TWRP folder!
For this part of the tutorial, we are going to modify the text on the buttons at the main screen in TWRP (ex. Install, Backup, Restore, Wipe, etc.). Let's say I wanted to change the word "Install" on the Install button to "Flash" instead. I could easily do this with a computer! I will show you how to do this step-by-step.
Requirements:
Windows PC
Android Image Kitchen
Your recovery img
Obviously your custom recovery so you can flash it.
1: Grab the custom recovery you flashed and put it to your Desktop. If you can't find your custom recovery that you downloaded before, download it again from the internet.
2: Download Android Image Kitchen from the internet and extract it to your Desktop. You should get a folder called "Android Image Kitchen".
3. Inside that folder you will have some files: cleanup.bat, repackimg.bat, and unpackimg.bat along with another folder called "android_win_tools".
4. Put your recovery img inside along along with those files.
5. Now we are going to extract your recovery! To do this, simply drag your recovery.img over onto the unpackimg.bat and a cmd windows will pop up, extracting your recovery.
6. When it's done, two folders will appear called "ramdisk" and "split_img". IGNORE THE split_img FOLDER! YOU DO NOT NEED TO TOUCH THAT EVER!
7. Navigate inside the ramdisk folder until you find a folder called "twres". This is your TWRP
8. Inside will be some files in XML format and 3 folders. Navigate to the folder that says "Languages".
9. Once inside, find "en.xml" and open it with a text editor.
10. Scroll down until you find this line of text:
"name="install_btn">Install</string>
11. To change the word "Install" to "Flash", replace "Install" that is between string and install_btw to "Flash".
12. That's it! Your done! Now we have to repack the ramdisk. To do so, go back to the "Android Image Kitchen* and click on "repackimg.bat".
13. If done correctly, a cmd window will appear and repack your ramdisk. You will be left with a file called "image-new.img". Transfer that file to your phones internal storage.
14. Once it's on your phone, boot into your custom recovery and flash it! MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP just in case anything goes wrong!!
15. You have successfully modified your custom recovery!!
NOTE that for some newer Android devices, you will probably get a message in red at the boot screen "Recovery is not SEandroid enforcing". As long as your device still boots into your modified recovery, ignore that warning.
Note that this tutorial was only for users who are new to rooting and customizing. Android developers would probably know already how to do this. This is only for fun. You should always be careful when modifying your system files.
That was only a text modification. You could have also edited the images if you wanted to
I don't know everything about Android. I'm still learning. I was proud that I was able to modify my own recovery. Please leave any comments you have

Extract it in Desktop and Now put your boot.img inside that folder and run unpacking.exe (simply double click it)
This will extract your boot image
for Example i use linux version of AIK in "LINUX MINT" but process is same as windows .
Now run Unpackimg.sh
you can see in terminal it extract boot.img
there is two folder inside AIK ramdisk and split_img
Just delete ramdisk folder and go inside split_img folder
and copy boot.img.dtb and boot.img-zImage files to AIK main directoey or somewhere else
Now replace your stock boot.img with Port ROM boot.img in AIK tool folder and again run unpackimg.sh. this will create same two folders ramdisk and split_img . in AIK directory
Now replace those two files you copied before from stock boot.img split folder "boot.img.dtb and boot.img-zImage" to new port split_image folder.
Run repacking
This is your new Boot image , rename it to boot.img
Also try replacing lib folder from stock to port ramdisk
Use Winmerge or Meld for comparing .rc files from stock to port ramdisk and add those missing line in port .rc files. like comparing fstab etc
