CG64.smg & CG65.smg: partition tables that you can open using fdisk/sfdisk
CG33.smg is a CDROM ISO file!
iirc one or two of them are the splash image (not 100% sure now)

System.img to be restored with Nandroid? If yes you have to extract all files with ext2reader then use mkyaffs2image to build system.img.

with mkyaffs2image its jus showing me a cmd windows for some less thn 1 sec and its jus goes away...please upload the version you are using...also let me know if it needs any prerequisite software to be installed.
It's because mkyaffs2image is a command line app, just like in the DOS days... To use it you should open a cmd window (type cmd at Windows menu and press enter), go to the directory right before the one you extracted files (you use cd "dirname" to enter in a directory and "cd .." to leave it. So when you are in the directory right before the one in which you've extracted files type "mkyaffs2image CG39extracteddir system.img"

ok last doubt...after creating system.img can it be restored via custom recovery..??
how to add md5 check sums for that so that custom recovery can identify as proper nandorid..!!??

You welcome!
Sure you can use it with nandroid, you must download md5sum.exe, place it together with mkyaffs2image, after you used mkyaffs2image then type "md5sum system.img" and it will generate checksum. Create a file called "nandroid.md5" and paste what md5sum returned. You can open a nandroid.md5 file of another backup and you'll understand better how it's done..
excellent..i got it

I know how to do it on Linux, because you've to run chmod and chown to set su and Superuser.apk permissions. I'll see if it's possible to do it inside Windows and I'll answer you asap.
Where did you get mkyaffs2image for Windows? Are you running it with -f flag or not? Have you already made an image and restored it and did it really work? I'm afraid if will not work because of the same problem above...

You will need the android SDK and adb.
You can either do this through the terminal app on the phone or by using adb...
With adb:
From windows command line, and the phone connected via usb.
adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/system > /sdcard/system.img
If you use the terminal, you run the same commands as above, except the adb command.
To get the file on your hard drive, run this from the windows command prompt:
adb pull /sdcard/system.img .

EDIT- lol, Jim and I had two different perspectives on your question . Are you asking how to create a system.img based off of your current /system, or are you asking how to extract an .img you already have and set up a working directory for ROM building?
Under Win7? Good luck with that. The system.img contains a filesystem that Windows doesn't natively support. You can use an app like Ext2Read to open and extract .img's, but if you do that all the symlinking will get messed up because Windows filesystems don't support symlinks. Also, Ext2Read might freeze or not fully extract the image just because of compatibility issues.
I highly recommend you use VirtualBox or set up a dual-boot with a Linux OS like Ubuntu. From there, you can install the ROM Kitchen which makes building ROMs a lot easier. It will let you set up a working directory based off of a system .img, and it detects all symlinks and adds them to the updater-script.

Thanks cogeary .
I need the ext2read to explorer the *.img file and it can extra anyone file from *.img to my disk.
And can I use the *.apk from other *.img to create/use on my phone/system.

Sometimes. You can probably use apps like the alarm clock or browser that come from a different firmware, but don't try using framework files (like framework-res, systemui, etc) and important apps (like the dialer or phone) from different firmwares.

OK, so I unlocked boot loader. Then rooted. Then installed cwm. Then performed backup. But now under folder clockworkmod I can't find my backup. Where is it? One more thing, I think root did not go well, no supersu app and total commander doesn't let me browse system files!?!
To root your phone download Superuser . zip from the below link and flash it via cwm..

I have done one time, but forgot the location now.. Are you able to see the nandroid backup files using the file Explorer.. It's somewhere inside the media directory.. Can you check with any root Explorer and tell me the location..?

I found 2 backups under /data/media/clockworkmod/backups/... both are about 1gb in size. I couldnt enter data folder before while unrooted.
Now i usually copy files from phone to my nas over lan, so i dont have to adb every time, thats why 8gb is not low for me ... but i cant copy these backups, nor i can delete one of them, as if supersu is not allowing it. I'll try with some other file manager.

Try this and let me know if it works..
Enable USB debugging.. Connect your phone to USB..
Go to the adb location.. Open cmd there..
Try the below command and give enter..
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup C:\clockbkp
If it doesn't work, try below
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup C:\clockbkp
Let me know which one works.

It didn't work, I don't know whats wrong.
Although I'm using Linux Mint, not windows.
I installed adb and fastboot:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fsutils
but list of adb devices is empty:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
Then I created /.android/adb_usb.ini with lines
Code:

0x22b8
because I saw the vendor id with:
Code:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 22b8:2e80 Motorola PCS
but no devices found error again, tried also as root...
I must boot win in virtualbox and try from there then...

I deleted my rom file while doing a wipe. adb sees the device, so I ran from cmd and cd'd into the platform tools directory. Then ran:
Code:
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb push ROM.zip
But when I run that, I get the man pages or error:closed
At least it's good that adb sees my device after running adb devices. Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to push the rom over?
You need to tell it what to push it. \sdcard\download. Or something along those lines

This guide is to root Remix OS for PC
You will need Ubuntu for Rooting (You can download and run it in live CD)
If you are experienced with linux systems don't read whats written in bracket
1. Download and Extract RemixRoot.zip
2. Copy system.img from your pendrive or hdd wherever you have installed Remix Os to this folder (ie RemixRoot folder it should be alongside Readme.txt)
3. Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
4. Type
Code:
sudo -i
5. Enter your password (If you are running in live cd then no password)
6. Change directory to RootRemix folder (Goto tmp folder, right click and goto properties and copy location, this is your <dir> replace it in command below )
Code:
cd <dir>
7. If you did it right next line of terminal will end with RemixRoot# followed by blinking cursor
8. Now run rootx.sh script by typing
Code:
sh rootx.sh
9. If everything goes right there wont be any error message and you will get a root.img in your RemixRoot folder
10. Rename it to system.img and copy to your pendrive/hdd replacing previous system.img
11. Reboot and go to RemixOS and update SuperSU binaries
12. That's it! you are now rooted
Thanks to Chainfire & hackarchive
I tried it but i got no system.img, i got r/w access to system (choosen by install) so i tried to symlink it to my system directory and commented out all image mounted related things from script and then tried it.
but after that i cannot boot android anymore, i think the problem is app_process linking to daemonsu, since i set back to original it boots like normal but no superuser access. SuperSU said theres is no superuser installed.
Any suggestion?
Silly question but will I lose root access if I update to the newest version by flashing the new image over the top?
Yes a silly question.... Deserves a silly answer. It will still be underneath, but good luck trying to retrace it!
any other method for rooting, without using ubuntu?
#tested with ubuntu live, and it works like a charms. Thank you..

I modified the original script to work with the system folder installation and i removed all app_processX dependend things from script (dunno if it affects the root in any way, cannot find any issue by now) Read the Readme.txt for further installation instructions.

the answer is replace the system folder. this is my methode :
1. copy the system img from the extracted remix iso to somewhere
2. then run the script
3. unpack the system img that already rooted and copy all the content to the system folder of the remix (replace)
4. done. Remix os rooted.
Guys, I installed Remix to ext4 partition (in order to use all free space), so there's no "system.img" on it (but there's "system" folder). How to modify the script or to root Remix other way?
masdeco, thanks for the idea! How do you unpack img file, btw?

after root the system img then mount it, copy all the content to the system folder of your remix.
since I am a linux user so I use this command :
mount -o loop system.img tmp
this is so cool cool
Works Lenovo Yoga 2 11
Installed to a partition on my HD:
Downloaded RemixOS iso
extracted contents of iso
created temp, data and system folders
ran this tool to root the system.img (now root.img)
renamed root.img back to system.img
mounted system.img to temp folder
copied contents of temp folder to system folder
added entry in grub
now I am triple booting Windows, Linux and RemixOS 2.0 Android with ROOT
Thank You!!!

it shouldn't be too hard to figure out, put the files in your folder of choice with the system.img from your usb stick, run the batfile. it should create a file named rooted system image, now just replace system.img on your usb stick with that and run...
ofcourse I am assuming your system.img is identical to the one I had, which it should be if it was the 2.0 dev preview which is the only thing you can get today, right?
