Please anyone senior to comment of what I do and what's the right way ?
- I decompressed Chinese firmware for P40Pro. Finally extracted bunch of partitions as IMG files and I am lost now:
Linux says
>file system.img
> DATA
while I expected EXT4. Maybe extraction went wrong ? How do I now open IMG partition and get my Call recorder from it ? What other API I would need to extract to allow access to mic and speakers... Anyone can put some light on all this topic ?
Where did you get the firmware, If I could give it a try, I might be able to retrieve the apk (not sure, but there's always a chance if the apk exists).
Huawei switched away from the EXT4 file system to EROFS
Works like charm :

I found it here at easy firmwares. I also have found a script on XDA which should extract content of IMG file which is not EXT3 indeed.
Here is a thread about mounting EROFS
Maybe this helps someone ?
I get an error when I updated. it looks so error 412 #23234sQwerRddgg? Who can help me?

If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.
I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.
Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.
@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C
Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

Hello! Before posting, i search this forum but not found nothing understandable. I wont to modify .ftf file of sony xperia e single sim, edit some apps and repack in fleshable ftf again, but i have some problems. Ok i'm doo next:
1. Extract flashtool via winrar.
2. Copy system.sin to flashtool directory and extract with sin editor, and get 2 files system.ext4 and system.partinfo, but with flashtool only possible to extract yaffs2 files. 3. Here is big problem, i tryed menny softwares for opening ext4 images in windows, but only ext2 exploer can modify this files, but totaly inaccesible with screen readers like as jaws.
4. I found some tutoryals for mounting in linux but i can not understand linux commands as well, for example did i must know exactly syze of system partition to mount ext4 image, maby exist some gui program for linux from wich can mount end edit ext4 images?
Finally, does possible making flashable img or ftf file for sonny phones for custom roms? For example, easyer to me is flashing custom roms via fastboot, because in some situations for cm recovery i need sited assistance.
Thanks, and best regards.

I have looked around to repack an extacted system.sin but never found how to do it. To dump the ext4 img just use ext2 explorer after it has finished extracting & loading click save in the toolbar and choose the folder where you want to save it.

There's no tutorial on how to build one or a tool. Not for windows anyway.
I have the stock rom for the Galaxy S6 Cricket variant... I am having trouble in getting the build.prop from the system.img. I have tired many methods from other threads but none seem to work. Any suggestions or working ways to extract the build.prop from the system.img or any way to open up the .img file.
I am doing this to post the rom in the ROM WIP section for the root.

Try the tools in this thread . I used them last week to extract a build prop.
Just load up the system.IMG and drag the file from the system folder to your desktop.

I got your PM. Sorry for the late reply. I'm posting here in case someone else needs the info.
Download Ext2explore.
Extract to your PC.
Run as administrator.
In app: go to file - open image - (find your system image) and open
It will display your image in tree and folder view
Use either one (depending on your preference) (but your build.prop will be in the first view as its in the root of the system).
Right click the file/s you want to extract
Select save
Save your file.......profit
Hope this helps

Hi!
I'd like to know where the OTAs are stored in our M2. Anyone that hasn't done yet the update download, and that has Root permissions, can use this app to find where they're stored, and if possible, upload it and post a link to it.
Thank you!
Do you still needed the file, sir ?

Yep. It's for some research
I think, the app didn't work sir. After I wait 30 minutes, none of the files were copied to my storage. Then I try searching using manual method, I found one file, the file size is as large as my OTA update. The nama file is "update-package".
The file extension is not ".zip", in the folder recovery (internal storage). My estimate, the file extension .LZMA or .tar.LZMA or .zipx.
I've tried to extract and decompress in the PC (windows os) using some programs, but failed.
If you still need the file, I'll upload it now .

Okay, so this is what I got:
The update zip refuses to be flashed in UBL devices. FOTAkernel system is broken after you open the bootloader, which leads us with an unused partition (but that's other thing). The recovery logs just say: WARN: Status Rooted, ERR: Bootloader is unlocked.
I've tried to force it using AOSP Recovery commands
Code:
echo 'boot-recovery' > /cache/recovery/command
echo '--update_package=/sdcard/update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
But just got a big nope.
So, now time to have a look at it. I tried to unpack it several times but no luck. The reason seems to be, very probably, because this is a LZMA compressed file (as 7-Zip reported) but with 2 additions at the end (which corrupts the entire read of it): An unencrypted/uncompressed XML which points out which is the software available right now in the phone (<source>), and which is the version that is going to be installed (<target>), plus, some a weird <generation> section. This is the XML
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<metadata version="3.3">
<product>
<manufacturer>Sony</manufacturer>
<model>D2302</model>
<hwplatform>msm8226</hwplatform>
</product>
<update>
<generation>
<version>1.1.2</version>
<date>2015-12-28T12:10:19Z</date>
<rb_version>7.0.15.117</rb_version>
<rb_ua_version>7.0.15.117</rb_ua_version>
</generation>
<source>
<software>
<revision>18.6.A.0.175</revision>
</software>
<customization>
<variant>1281-0464</variant>
<revision>R2C</revision>
</customization>
</source>
<target>
<software>
<revision>18.6.A.0.182</revision>
</software>
<customization>
<variant>1281-0464</variant>
<revision>R2C</revision>
</customization>
</target>
</update>
</metadata>
And, right after that, I can perfectly see a SIN header, so I isolated it and, looks quite similar to the FOTAkernel.sin included in FTFs (330613072905Z010U S1_FOTA0 ‚"0), I personally guess it's a very, very small ELF binary, by the size of it.
So, the problem now comes to isolate the 3 parts, the LZMA file, the XML and the SIN, separetly. After that, I think we can probably have a look insde them.
How about linux os? Can we unpack or decompress that file on linux os, sir? Do you have tried?

I've tried many tools and combinations (ext4, .img, etc) and none of them worked... I'll think more about it.
Hello, so i decided to use TWRP to dump the system and the vendor image so that everyone can do whatever they want with it.

First of all, thank you heaps LameMonster82, you are an absolute champion!!. I was searching for hours to find a kdz file for G710EM10p and your posting was the only one I found. For some reason the "thaks" buttob isn't visible to me.. maybe because I'm a new member.
I thought I could be helpful by listing the different KDZ files which are in your google drive folder so other people can find them while searching through google like I was.
In the above link from LameMonster82 there are following KDZ files for the LM-G710EM (European) variant of the LG G7 :
G710EM10b
G710EM10f
G710EM10k
G710EM10p
For the LG V40:
V405UA10c
V405UA10l
To install the KDZ file follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888
Thanks again

Download manages to get to 1 GB and then it drastically slows down and eventually fails. Via a download manager the farthest I got was 1,5 GB: although the download manager continued to download (it downloaded ~5 GB of data), the file was only 1,5 GB.

Doesn't seem to be something from me. Maybe Google's server are acting up or youre using your phone to download it. If you're using a phone it will sometimes do that. Try downloading another file and if not find a 10p version here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
I managed to download it! It went fine this time, I did not change anything on my side.

It's the system partition but it's empty because when you install an update the system copies there. A/B support
