Those who are confused by all
those scripts and complex
commands required for
building and extracting
This is NOT a tool to
automatically turn you into a

Hi,
today I'm going to show how to create a flashable
zip from a CWM/TWRP Backup. This is specially for MTK
device(you can try in other device,may work). Here is
my step by step tutorial...
Requirements:
* PC
* CWM/TWRP Backup
* Winrar
* Brain
you need META-INF,system & boot.img for making a
flashble zip rom, so you have to collect these from
your backup
*CWM method:
1. Copy the CWM backup from Phone to PC
2. Extract system.ext4.tar file with winrar, you
will get the system folder
3. Collect the boot.img from the backup
4. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom
rom which is made for your device
5. Now select META-INF,system & boot.img, click
right button of your mouse and select 'Add to archive'
now select archive format 'ZIP' and press ok
6. Your flasable zip rom is ready. Just copy it
to your sd card and flash with CWM or TWRP
7. Done.
TWRP method:
1. Copy the TWRP backup from Phone to PC
2. Collect the file 'system.ext4.win' rename it
to 'system.ext4.tar'
3. Extract the system.ext4.tar. Now in case if your
TWRP backup is not in compression method, you will
directly get the system folder. Or if your TWRP
backup is in compression method, you will get a
file named 'system.ext4', don't worry just again
rename it to 'system.ext4.tar' and extract to get
the 'system' folder
4. Collect the 'boot.emmc.win' file and rename it
to boot.img, now ypu manage the boot.img also
5. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom
rom which is made for your device
6. Now select META-INF,system & boot.img, click
right button of your mouse and select 'Add to archive'
now select archive format 'ZIP' and press ok
7. Your flasable zip rom is ready. Just copy it
to your sd card and flash with CWM or TWRP
8. Done.

You need to use the Meta folder from a working rom installer for your phone, you then select the Meta folder, system folder (hold down the ctlr key to select each folder, then right clink the selected file and zip.

sorry I meant META-INF folder, you use the META-INF from a working rom install for your phone. Look under your phones thread here on XDA and locate a rom and use it to go with your backup files so you can make a install of your backup

QUESTIONS
---------------------------
1. On STEP 3 I did the following:
Extract the system.ext4.tar.
If your TWRP backup is in compression method, you will get a file named 'system.ext4',
Rename it to 'system.ext4.tar'
Next part, " Extract to get the 'system' folder", does not work. What do I do here?
2. Doing #1 in Linux or does this need to be done win Windows?
3. META-INF - My HTC ONE X+ (code name evitare UL) does not have any custom ROMs I can find. What other sources of META-INF are there?
Please notify me at [email protected] when you post answers. Thanks

CYGWIN Unpacking TWRP Backup Files
Download CYGWIN http://cygwin.com/
rename:
data.ext4.win to data.ext4.win.tar
system.ext4.win000 system.ext4.win000.tar
system.ext4.win001 to system.ext4.win001.tar
Make a directory in your CYGWIN Home [Username]folder
Example: untar
Use Windows File Explorer go to your CYGWING Home
C:\cygwin\home\carl (your user name will be here)
make any folder you choose
Example:
C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar
and C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data ( for data files)
put your renamed data files in a folder named data
C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data (this is to keep files separate when unpacked)
While in Explorer put your renamed system files in untar folder
start CYGWIN ( Use the Cygwin Terminal and then you can copy and paste these commands)
cd to untar folder
example:
cd\untar
do these commands one at a time, it will extract to a folder named system
tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar
tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar
cd to data
do this command
tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar
tar -xvf data.ext4.win000.tar
tar -xvf data.ext4.win001.tar
all your data files will extract

This is iBall Slide 7271 HD70 with preloaded KitKat 4.4.2
I lost my nandroid backup of stock network carrier's ROM so my friend made backup using same TWRP recovery and now I want to build flashable zip. He excluded only data and cache.
There are some things that confuses me.
This device (Alcatel OT M' Pop) has custpack.ext4.win. Do I have to include it and how?
This is all files from backup:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also I used Cygwin Terminal to unpack system.ext4.win because 7Zip and WinRar gave me errors during unpacking process but interesting thing is that when I open archive with 7zip I can see META-INF folder Can I use that META and how the hell WinRar doesn't show it? Or is it safer to include META from another ROM for this device?
Hey, today in this post I've discussed on the topic
"How to unpack/repack img without PC or android tools (android tool is a little complicated and sometimes doesn't works)."
So let's get started
First of all download & install 'android image studio'
1: open it and click on repack/unpack
2: select the port ROMs boot or recovery img.
3: we get two folders
a.) Split_img --->> contains kernal zimage.
b.) Ramdisk----> contains init.rc recovery. Fstab etc..
4: to delete any file long press on it and click delete
5: to import any file click on import button in right panel & select the file
6: after making desired changes. Repack the img using repack button
7: a file will be created with the name image-new.img
8: export this file using export button and select the desired location.
Congratulations you have just ported an img without PC easily.

I need more help, trying to open a .IMG boot file for Samsung s5, it gives the "No Image Supplied" error
Screenshot
Using AIS. Trying to port custom recovery but first thing I've tried is to just unpack and repack stock recovery. When repacking output of AIS is new IMG and new ramdisk. New IMG is smaller than original but from what I've read this should be okay. Flashed new IMG and attempted reboot recovery and all I got was black screen. Flashed stock recovery and it booted recovery fine. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I used AIS to open the new image it created and then kept doing file/folder comparisons on the output. I narrowed down the difference being recovery.img-ramdisk.cpio. But when I unpack with cpio the contents of the archive are the same. Additionally, I repacked the contents with cpio but it still comes up as not matching the original recovery.img-ramdisk.cpio. My device can and does make replacement recovery images using applypatch with bonus files and boot img. Any help greatly appreciated!
