[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.
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 expand...
Click to collapse
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"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..)

Download Logobuilder V1.5 (attached) and extract it.
Get the logo.bin file from the stock ROM.
Now open Logobuilder and click create new project and then browse for the logo.bin file and select it and create new folder for logoproject.
The software should have extracted the images into the logoproject folder.
Now create your own custom image using photoshop or any other ( Dimensions - 720x1280 -> for A117 ) and just save it as img1.png.
Now replace the created img1.png with the already existing img1.png in the logoproject folder
Press make to create update.zip file
Now copy update.zip from logo folder into your SDcard. Next boot to recovery and flash the zip file you obtained earlier. :good:

Thanks for the tool was looking for it

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.
