I don't know, where did I get it, so it may be outdated or something.
mkyaffs for windows
Here is mkyaffs2 exe file compiled for Windows using Cygwin.
Archive contains makeyaffs and unyaffs files and needed dll's.
P.S. I tryed to use that compiled "mkyaffs"-file to create system.img and img-file really was created, but when I tryed to unpack that system.img (using unyaffs that works normally) I just got "OK"-message from unyaffs and nothing more! No one folder was created! So I think my compiled mkyaffs doesn't work properly. It's creating corrupted img's. :silly:
So the most reliable and right way to pack folders into img's is use mkyaffs on Linux or virtual machine (with booted Linux of course).
P.S.S. I found tool named Yaffey, but I don't know how to get it create system.img

Thank you so much! It's what software I look for exactly.

Hello.
Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but I can't seem to find a way to view and extract content of .img nand backup files on android phone itself and/or PC with Windows OS. (currently only looking for system.img file)
I've read there is a "unyaffs" program, but its for linux.
I have Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and it's CWM saves system into .tar archive, which makes it very handy cause, because WinRAR reads these files just fine.
Thank you.
unyaffs can be used in windows too.. just try looking a little harder..
Download the attachment.. I've repacked it with the cygwin dll
Hope it helps..
Ive done a backup on my phone and created a flashable zip (update.zip)
Now im playing around with dsixda's kitchen and trying to extract the system.tar, however it fails most likely due to fact the the system.tar is empty
the files in the archive are as follows
Meta-inf -- <folder>
boot.img -- <8192KB>
image-edify -- <1KB>
system.ext4.tar -- <0KB>
system.ext4.tar.a -- <976,563KB>
system.ext4.tar.b -- <68,151KB>
By the looks of things it has split the system.ext4.tar because its over a gig
How can i compile this into one file or one image so that the kitchen can read it, I'm on a windows 7 PC but i can run linux in a vbox if necessary.
Thanks
Try using the zip file in your input folder.
dsixda's kitchen should be able to extract from it

Already tried, it comes back saying its deleting the part a and part b files and then says the system.ext4.tar isnt a valid archive.
Is it a stock rom?
If so, download the firmware from sammobile and put the tar.md5 file into your input folder (after removing the .md5 suffix).
Thats worked for me in the past....
It is stock, but i have removed the bloatware, installed a few mods, i was hoping to use this particular one really as a base. Ive already played around with fully stock and i kind of broke the whole thing
I'm not too sure then unless theres some tool you can find to merge the 3 tar files into 1...
Never had to do it so I'm unable to suggest anything I'm afraid.
I'm using Windows 8, and i need to Repack the system files to System.img (i extracted it by ext4)
Thanks!!!

After some googling, it seems like you should consider using a linux virtual machine on windows... I'm not aware of any tool on windows.
I have a Huawei Y536A1 US version. I am attempting to port the Y536A1 Canada Rogers version as it appears to have no carrier apps within it. I installed Cygwin and dsixda' Android Kitchen but the optiuon to extract the system.img file (ext4) does not work. I found the post for installing perl, split_update, ext4 unpacker exe, and huawei finder. Following the steps, I can unpack the system.img and extract the build.prop file. However I am totally lost at how to either edit the Canadian build.prop or how to replace it with the US version. It is simple enough to replace any .img file within the output folder, but I can't figure out how to replace or edit files inside the .img files once they are unpacked into the EXT4 unpacker. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I am going about this incorrectly, any info on redirecting my efforts to be used with a different tool would also be appreciated.
Could anyone guide me how to get my hands on tools that can do what rmxtools basically does but on linux that is extract .sfs to .img then unpack and repack img and root the img, rmxtools 1.8fix doesn't seem to be working on win 7 64bit and win8.1 64 bit.

I had tried android_img_repack_tools, also in xda but it didn't help. I can unpack and extract img files easily in linux but the repacking of img files doesn't work. Squashfs tools can extract and repack but the file doesn't work when trying to boot and install remix os. The size of the new sfs file is smaller as compared to the original sfs file even though files are being added. So it could be that the compression is not recognised.

When you say "doesn't work" what do you mean? Are you seeing the grub menu? Which USB tool are you using?
I use that method when I modify PhoenixOS, I just use. It's the same thing RMX Tools uses. I think you may have different problems.
Use SuperR. It works. Make sure to set as raw image.

No grub, instead an error i forgot what it was. I'll give SuperR a try.

I just published this how-to with furiusisomount.

Basically you can make changes without unpacking.
