I am trying to change an update.zip file back to the three components system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. I have tried creating the system.img but when i do so the permissions are wrong on the files. (update script is not run on it to change permissions)
For boot.img i can repackage it by splitting the blob but when i do it i am not sure what base value to use. when using mkbootimg
i was wondering if there was a way to convert it back to those components in some more automated way....
I am not sure but possible emulating the install of update.zip then harvesting the img files?
Hi,
The company Ainol release their latest updates as img files which we than have to flash using a program called livesuit. Does anyone know the process (or have any tips) on converting these img files to clockworkmod zip files?
I can extract the system and kernel files using something similar to this tutorial: http://www.techknow.t0xic.nl/forum/index.php?topic=1679.0
That tutorial explains how to modify the img file and then repack as img. I tried moving the system directory and the kernel & ramdisk over into a clockworkmod zip that i know works and overwrote the files in that with the one i had extracted.
when i try to install it, i get the e: cant open cwmzip.zip
(bad)
any ideas? Maybe i need to get the updater binary from the extracted files somehow?

It really all depends, how many images? What are the images called? What are in each of the images if there is more then one?
thanks for replying, i think i have it right. I ran a log and saw that there was an invalid filename in my zip and sure enough, i looked in the app folder and saw a file with a lot of chinese characters. Deleting this file has sorted this problem
Thanks for replying anyways!
Hi how can i extract the hboot from the rom.zip ruu? and then repack it to flash in bootloader i dont know wish files to choose to make the PG86IMG
Go back to your 1st thread not your 2nd or 3rd, the answer is there
sent on my Evil Evo with no reboots, that's because I am running the kernel that's not available on xda

Which one are you looking for?
Better yet, I'll tell you.
Explore the Rom zip, extract the hboot file and the android info text file to any location. now highlight both files, right click on one of them and choose add to/ compressed zip. Now change the name to PG86IMG.zip.
Good day!
Hi!
In creating flashable zip of /system...
What I've read is to extract system.img from phone and unpack it (convert to .ext4 then extract using some tools) then make it flashable zip.
Is it possible to directly copy the entire /system of the phone and make it a flashable zip?
(Without extracting system.img of the device...)
Thanks!
I tried downloading from the original post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163013
but the checksum is different. i'm unable to finish the steps because the files have been changed...the extensions are exe for both files when they should be zip and img
hoping somebody has these files saved. i would appreciate it if you can reupload them somewhere.
