IS701R modify Stock Firmware ??

Hi Experts ,
I've got the stock firmware .ius file for bsnl penta is701r tablet .. :laugh:
do any one out there wanna help me by editing it (or mabe creating a custom rom outta it) and making it a pre-rooted firmware so i can install it on my tab to gain root privileges..
I m really a kinda newbie so pls try n cooperate me..
if its possible ill give u the link for ius and yes the ius is to be installed using IUW1.2
I had the same tab and tried doing the same method to root without any success.
They have disabled USB debugging and mass storage mode. Even if we enable usb debugging from apps like launcher pro the adb from PC isn't recognizing the device.
And it seems they have patched the exploits in z4root.apk , gingerbreak.apk , and other apks so as to prevent root from phone (not sure though).
I unpacked the ius file to get img files. But the system.img and other img files are not yaffs2 images. They may be older yaffs images or different ones. I have tried all current yaffs utilities but unable to unpack system image. The project on ius packing / unpacking is here. https://github.com/Ithamar/iusutils . Even i cant compile the iuspack.c which needs additional libraries. So, to progress in this method, we need to unpack system.img and repack it. Also repack ius .

Extract system.IMG from your downloaded ROM
After extracting system.IMG install Linux reader (free software google it)
Using Linux reader open IMG file and extract system ui apk and paste it to system/app via any root file manager ....
Else use adb fast boot method to flash system.IMG in fast boot mode ...(this method will unroot your device )
All the best ?

[Q] How to capture a .img file after all Apps got installed

I am looking for ways that i can capture an android rom (.img file) and restore it to other same devices by using Rockchip Batch Tool 1.7
Here is my situation:
We have lot of android devices need to be deployed (MK 902). The original rom was 4.2 and I use Rockchip Batch Tool 1.7 to reload a rooted 4.4.2 img file. then I installed some APPs we needed. I dont want to go through app installation on all devices. So I am looking for a way that i can capture the img file after all APPs installed, then later on i can only use that Rockchip Tool to restore my img into rest of devices, just like Windows image restore.
I did some researches but didnot find any easy way to do so. looks like i have to unpack the image, modify it then repack it again. ....... I dont know how to modify the img file so i am looking for an easy way to do this.
Anyone knows any App or easy way?

(URGENT) How to flash RAR files with CWM?

Hi. I am a newbie in flashing phones. I am having a Lenovo A850. I was planning to flash it to Android Marshmallow (CynogenMod) . It was really hard to find the ROM. Somehow I managed to find one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-lenovo-t3724018 . Once I downloaded it, I noticed that it is in RAR format. I tried entering CWM in my phone, and the RAR file doesn't show up. CWM probably does not support flashing RAR files.
What should I do now?

What you do for a quick fix is to open the .rar file on your computer using a software like winrar, or 7zip. Then compress it using the software as a .Zip file then you can flash it easy as that.
Doing this is changing the file format all correctly with correct conversions so it should be alright. But be aware that this is a quick fix which I use and have success with. Not sure if it would work for you But it should, if it doesn't don't hit me ~ QAQ
Note that this is possible as well on phones using file manager with inbuilt rar,win support
