As i dont have access to a linux box, would somebody mind uploading an unpacked factoryrs.rfs from the OFFICAL JI6 build?

You sir, are a saint!
Here you go http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DM54Q10
ahh, that rfs isnt unpacked
well does anyone have to skills to unpack it? you can get the actual file from the above post
im pretty sure you need linux to do so, but i might be wrong
*edit* posted tut to unpack it
mopodo said:
I came from HTC Hero to the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
So I had never problems with cooking something up, but in the Galaxy I faced .rfs files and a flashing tool I can't use on linux...
So I searched through some boards to find a way to extract the .rfs files here a working guide for the S I9000.
What you need
Linux (tested with Debian testing)
It's pretty simple, execute this commands as root on your computer
SHORT WAY (thanks to mimocan)
Code:
# mount -o loop factory.rfs /some_dir
LOOOONG WAY
Attatch the rfs file to the loop device
Code:
# losetup /dev/loop0 /somedir/factoryfs.rfs
Create a directory to mount the device
Code:
# mkdir /somedir/mnt
Mount the device
Code:
# mount /dev/loop0 /somedir/mnt
the content of the rfs is NOT saved on the sdcard! you have to copy it!
Now you can copy the content from the /sdcard/tmp directory to the sdcard
Code:
# cp -R /somedir/mnt /somedir/factoryfs
hope this is helpful for someone

You can unpack rfs by loading it through magiciso on windows
Free trial version will work fine hehe

Sorry man, misunderstood your request. Let me get on my linux box and unpack it.
Ok, unpacked it, transferring back to my home PC, and will upload to megaupload.
Sorry for the goof.

If you intend on flashing it with a custom recovery, you could also zip the whole package and name it update.zip
There's an excellent guide over here.
The problem is, I used mkcramfs and when I unpacked it again it showed empty

Yes, yes, I know what you mean.
You've got to have /system in a folder, not compressed.
*You've got to be on linux!
Issue:
Code:
mkfs.yaffs2 yourdir yourimage
But you've got to find that command on Google, I didn't find it. Otherwise, flash it to your device and make a Nandroid backup.
Edit: I've found mkfs.yaffs2, but it's ARM only. That means you've got to do it on your device (Busybox/Terminal)
It's here.

1. You need at least 600 MB of free space on USB (archos.ext4.zip and place to unpack)
2. Open terminal in the folder where archos.ext4 is located and:
Code:
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop archos.ext4 mnt
3. Do whetever you wan to with files in ext4 image, then
Code:
sudo umount mnt

Hey there guys!
Well this is gonna sound a bit ridiculous but I've actually deleted Launcher2.apk and SystemUI.apk instead of copied them (stupid yeah I know I could eat my face off right now...) and I need them back. There's no official ROM available for download which pretty much sucks so I can't get them anywhere. So if anyone here has the same tablet as me, consider sharing those two system apps with me.
Thanks.

Just to be sure you have no way to reflash any firmware?
Else try to connect your tab to your computer and use adb even if your system bootloop. Try to install adb and push your missing files.
I doubt that there are no firmwares to download.
If they havr used the same boot like archos. The mount of the sdcard depend of the initramfs (ramdisk) not the OS.

It's not in a boot loop it just hangs at "bootanimation" (If you'd call it that I know I wouldn't) and wham stays like this forever.
Oh and another problem.
Code:
adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed no such file or directory (2) -
Can't push files from recovery because I need to mount /system. I can't do that because adb shell isn't working.
I don't see 7h G3 anywhere, see for yourself.

Does it work?
The firmware works, but two things are proving to be very difficult.
one is extracting system.img, i dont know what's different, but the method i used for the 4.2 firmwares just crashes now.
two, and this is a big one
rooting it..
working on it
edit: super SU 1.9.4 zip from chainfire worked. No other method works though, the superuser apk will install but the binary doesn't stick
edit 2: successfully extracted the system image
notes
hey,
if the update with the t211 was any indication, be sure to only write boot.img and system.img
i am making a flashable zip and will post after i get it right and debloated and get the script correct.
realistically, sometime tomorrow, will update.
@Restl3ss okay so iam laughing at myself right now becuase i can not get the damned thing to write. i don't use windows
so no odin. i have tried dd writing the images but on boot i hang at logo and with no adb i can't get a visual on the problem.
i have a .zip put together to do the same and get the same. i have another zip set up ota style but can't script worth a damn.
can you whip up a script and post it?
an interesting note- in /sbin is a binary file named partlink. thoughts?
Restl3ss
@Restl3ss
okay so this is the joke
i am too poor to upload a large file to devhost. :laugh:
solution - i going to upload the otapackge for the firmware WITHOUT the system folder.
the package has the modified to unsecure boot.img and the updater script which just happens to be the
same one i am using for cm11 :laugh: :victory:
these are the instructions for converting, mounting and pulling the system image into an cwm flashable zip
to convert and mount sparse .img in terminal
simg2img system.img system.img.ext4
mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /a/directory
then nav to that directory in file browser, copy the contents of /system and insert in to package.
there is also a second step to correct issues with symlinks in vendor. drop that package into ota second
sorry for the inconvenience. it's in your folder with the patches.
but hey, i'm poor.

It's not that simple. You can replace the ttf files under /system/fonts that relate to LG's default font changer. They all start with HY. Replace the files of the font you don't like/use with those that you do. You need a regular type and a bold one. Also, you need to do this in a Linux environment. Make sure you correct security contexts when you finish, or it won't work.

You need to mount it as a re-writable partition. Use the command below:
Code:

Then, when you're done, use this:

Oh, well, use KDZ Extractor to get a stock system.img from a KDZ. Then open a terminal in the folder where you have the image and use the following commands:
Code:
sudo
mkdir something
mount -o loop,rw -t ext4 system.img something
Then modify what you want, and, when you're done and have corrected security contexts using "ls -lZ" and "chcon", use this:

Oh, I'm not familiar with Python. Why did you install ubuntu? You could just boot it through VMWare or something. I think you'd need either Windows or Mac to use KDZ Extractor.
You don't need to re-pack your modded system.img into a KDZ to flash it. Use the guide in this thread to do so.

Step 1. It won't work otherwise. The port needs to be opened, and that's what LGUp does.
By the way, you can mod your ROM in many ways, not just fonts and stuff. The security contexts are very important, don't forget correcting them after you're done modding.
