Convert IMG into Odin flashable TAR.MD5

Hello dear humans,
This tutorial will help you convert simple IMG files into TAR.MD5, which is flashable using Odin (Mobile or PC version both).
For this you need to install JAVA JDK and Cygwin from the links below.
JAVA JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-2133151.html
Cygwin: content.wuala.com/contents/neroyoung/XDA%20ROM%20Dev%20Tools/Cygwin.zip
How to install?
-Before doing anything, install Java then install Cygwin by extracting the zip and then extracting the cygwin_packages.zip, Run the cygwin.exe setup and select "Install from local...." then select the folder containing extracted files from cygwin_packages.zip, then click the "S" like button on all
and install in a folder you can access easily using commands.
(THE ABOVE LINKS ARE ONLY FOR WINDOWS VERSION OF JDK AND CYGWIN, IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IN OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS SO PLEASE GOOGLE IT. #IN LINUX DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING JUST DO IT IN THE TERMINAL)
Now in folder installed cygwin, go to home open cygwin.exe or open it from the shortcut in your desktop (THE IMG FILE AND CYGWIN MUST BE IN SAME FOLDER), lets name our IMG file recovery.img, in cygwin type the following commands without $ [Because cygwim already types $ before a command]
$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img >
recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5
Congrats you've successfully concerted your IMG file.to Odin flashable TAR.MD5
Hit Thanks if this helped you.

After ripe the cache img i have a foder csc called /system like the csc in on the Rom's.
But the Rom's whit multi-csc OXXENB1 have all XEO from Poland by default. I made that MOd's csc to install my TPH becuse the ROM to PORTUGAL HAVE XEO by Default. But I needd root for that.
Then I want put TPH by default on system/csc from .img file and remake it to include on Rom and flash it, to have TPH at end by default on my Rom.

Getting error about incompatible operating system when recompressing dat so I tried on windows and got the same do I have to install the java or the phyton to a certain directory or the auto tool to a certain directory it extracted fine thanks in advance for the feedback

Can someone lend a hand.... Program works great. After removing a couple apps, one from 'app' another from 'priv-app', I made a zip file with 7zip and tried flashing but it fails. Is 7zip okay to make a zip file? was I not supposed to remove a 'priv-app' ? I can't find any solid guides on editing a MM rom. thanks in advance.

i succesfully unpack .dat files and repack .dat files (without edit anything) using this tool .
then i replace the repack .dat file to the rom and zip it and flash it .
but the problem is, when i flash i get error 7 system partition has unexpected contents after ota update . any solution ?

I am getting the same error as this, what should I do to fix it?
Have installed python v2.7.13+3.6.1, latest java jdk and jre and .NET framework v4.7 and running windows 10, it had worked on the first try but started showing this error suddenly.

It works, but after install ROM the battery discharges very quickly and heats up... I think that incorrectly exposed file permissions, because if i flash "system" folder with setting simlinks and set_metadata in updater-script ROM works fine and battery is ok.
ROM work only with system.img, system.new.dat dont flash, error 7 in TWRP...

best tools ，thanks！！

The link is not working.
You need to have a custom ROM, and in it system.transfer.list and system.new.dat.
Use this method:
[DEV] sdat2img 1.0 - img2sdat 1.2 ◦ Unpack/re-pack android DAT files
For a long time I use and have not found Android ROM 5.1.1 - 8.0.0, which can not be unpacked using sdat2img.py.
Thank you authors @xpirt , @luxi78 , @howellzhu !

You dont need a custom rom or the system.transfer.list, or system.new.dat. This unpacks images just fine. It will not unpack factory images tho. I got it to work just fine unpacking nexus 6 system.img by placing the image in the output_converted_dat_to_ext4 folder then telling the bat file what the size is and unpacking it. Do the same thing for oreo and the ext4 exe crashes.

rom isn't booting after editing system.new.dat. any help ?

For anyone having syntax errors converting systemsparse.img to system.new.dat just download the updated img2sdat files from the link below and extract all files ending in .py to the tools folder of this batch tool. There's also an updated sdat2img.py linked below which goes in the same tools folder. Overwrite all the old files when prompted.
Edit: I've attached a zip that has the tools already updated. Maybe the OP can update the first post?

Oreo Contexts Converter

THIS TOOL IS FOR TESTING PURPOSE ONLY.
THIS MAY WORK ON SOME DEVICES OR MAY NOT WORK AT ALL.
IF THIS TOOL MAKES THE ROM UNBOOTABLE PLEASE COMMENT BELOW.
NO BUG FIXING not until i get an oreo supported phone for me to test.
TREBLE ROMS ARE NOT SUPPORTED!
FEATURES:
CAN DETECT OREO BOOT.IMG (YOU CANT MESS UP THIS TOOL. HAHA!!)
CAN DETECT WHETHER THERES A BOOT.IMG INSIDE THE MAIN FOLDER
CONVERTS BINARY INTO PLAIN CONTEXTS (MAIN FEATURE)
DECOMPRESS .BR IMAGES INTO .DAT (COOL RIGHT?)
USAGE:
GRAB A BEER AND RELAX
WHILE ON YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER, UNPACK THE ARCHIVE AND GRAB THE OREO BOOT.IMG INTO oreo_contexts_tool FOLDER
RUN OFC.EXE AS ADMIN (NO NEED ADMIN RIGHTS FOR V2.0.0.1 AND V2.0.0.2)
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AFTERWARDS..
IF YOU NEED THE CONTEXTS CONVERTER FOR NOUGAT THEN USE MY TOOL HERE TO CONVERT PLAIN CONTEXTS INTO BINARY AND VICE VERSA.
tested only on x32bit windows 7 ultimate
ofc v2.0.0.1
ofc v2.0.0.2
!!VERY IMPORTANT TO READ NOTES!!
Code:
v2.0.0.1
can decompress .br image into .dat
can compress .dat image into .br
NO NEED to run the application with admin rights, just run normally.
I added x64 bit application but havent tested it yet on 64bit machine
(my laptop cant run x64 os :p) if it wont work pls use the other application.
v2.0.0.2
file contexts output is current directory
added reset tool if experiencing errors
added clean current directory
less popup of cmd (only when unpacking boot.img)
x64bit tool is not included yet.
note:
choosing "clean current directory" option will delete EVERYTHING
inside the current directory except for the tool. so i advise to run this tool
inside a folder/directory to avoid deleting all your important files on your pc.
e.g you run ofc.exe in drive C:\ (C:\OFC.EXE) ...then you chose
"clean current directory" option, this will delete EVERYTHING in
C: drive so BE CAREFUL!! I wont be responsible if this happens..
if your anti virus detects malware, trojan, etc just ignore.. my script is very simple and basic that any highschool student can laugh at it. :silly: :laugh:
