I'm trying to use android kitchen to unyaffs system.yaffs2.img and it keeps saying system is not found? I put the boot.img and system.yaffs2.img in a zip and still didn'd work. I even created a system folder and put the system.yaffs2.img. It said it didn't find the build.prop? What is the method for this to work?
You need to remame to just system
And use aiup 2048 system desktop to unpack

Is there a linux version and or alternative?
Edit: I found an easier way. Thanks anyway..
Could you tell about that easier way?
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol
How can I root the rom??

Where do we get a META-INF folder?
Do we use CWM recovery to restore with the new folder?

You can get a META-INF folder by creating one yourself
I don't understand your 2nd question though

Make one yourself,refer other stock roms for the path,then get the update binaries and script from BlackHawk (if stock ONLY).
okay, this is to flash via CWM is not it? how to change the kernel?

Many ways:
1.Adb pull /system
2.Manual copy and paste with file xplorer
3.Use Qtadb and copy /system

ok sorry for late reply
after pull /system how can i make the stock ROM flashable through ODIN on another phone?
or at least another way to flash the rom? adb push?

For Odin flash,refer freeyourandroid.com.
For CWM flash,take updater script and binary from Blackhawk and put it in your rom

Hello guys, I'm having a bit of a problem here after installing SS and flashing CM10.1 to slot1. I can't browse my sd-ext with any file explorer. It won't allow me to go higher than /sdcard in the file system. Have I done something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2
Have you tried another file explorer?
Yes. Odd thing is sd-ext is accessible, because poweramp finds my music. I just can't browse it through file managers.
It's not just sd-ext though, I can't browse any folder that is a level higher than /sdcard in the file system.

Never mind... God am I stupid. Forgot to enable root setting in file manager. Everyone at xda is gonna lol.

Is that anyway to extract /sdcard to userdata.img and then flash to other s3 through Odin?
just the /sdcard? copy and paste
userdata.img is /data not /sdcard.
Yes /sdcard is technically /data/media but this is omitted from userdata.img

I want to make a odin userdata.img as i want to transfer 3.7GB / 3,949 files / 590 folders to each i9300 which is the GPS app+data
Is that any method to do it in the fastest way?

As per my post use data.img is nothing to do with sdcard.
If you want to transfer data to another device, copy data off using a computer

thanks for the bad information... but is it possible to do it this way?
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=storage/extSdCard/userdata.img
then $ tar -H ustar -c userdata.img > odin.tar
finally perform odin update?
Please will you read what I have already said?
userdata.img goes to /data. This is NOT useful for you. /sdcard or /extSdCard CANNOT be flashed using userdata.img via Odin!

Thanks for ur information, I just wondering if there are any ways to transfer 3.7GB data to over 1000+ i9300 pba only, adb doesn't work as those pba w/o LCD
now i can just flash, then transfer files using MTP and click several times skip/don't convert, it is really annoying...
Windows and Linux will both have options to "do this action for all". In other words, you should only have to press "skip" or "over write" once.
You could zip the data, move the single file then unzip it but this will take longer.
Alternatively you could make a cwm flashable zip that unpacks to where you want - again, a lot of effort.
Dragging off and dragging back via MTP is quickest

skip one time, don't convert one time, 8 devices at once = 16 times...
on the other hand, wt is the purpose of UMS in Odin Flasher?
8 devices at once? What on earth are you doing?

How do I flash this via cwm? I tried putting the file into sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and choosing restore in cwm but nothing.. then file disappears. Do I need to zip the file first or?.. I really need this.

Yes from the Android development section, and I don't understand what you mean. I am however on the exact same version p76920d
Edit: It is a .tar.gz file.

ok all you have to do is put the file it should be in a folder already and if its in a zip or rar extract it then put in sdcard then put it in the folder clockworkmod which should be on your sdcard already then inside the backup folder and if you dont have any do the following
on the root of your sdcard make a folder called "clockworkmod" no caps then inside that another folder called "backup" then inside that one put the extracted filed then boot to recovery and choose restore from external sdcard and you should see the file
GoodLuck

So the path should look like this? root/clockworkmod/backup/thefile.tar.gz?

That's what I thought. Because when I backed up my current rom. It was in a folder. So either method would've worked I just didn't create an extra folder. Thanks.

Wait you dont have unlocked bootloader do you? ((extra info)and so you know when you flash a recovery to unlocked bootloader it registers as a P760 phone and artas recovery registers as a P769) it all depends how he did the backup thats why you get md5 mismatch but then again sometimes it acts really stupid but ask him what recovery he used to backup artas or unlocked bootloader
The backup file that you downloaded will have a specific folder name. Usually the date and time it was made. You will get a mismatch if you modify the folder name. Just extract the backup to the backup folder.
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date and time/files

Thats actually not true i always modify the name of my backups and i never get md5 mismatch

Then its probably as you said, backup compatibility.
Or the files are actually corrupt.
If you feel like living on the edge, you can modify the nandroid.md5 file to match the md5 of the files that have a different number. I do this when I want to install a different boot or recovery img that was not backed up with the original.
Edit:
Or check if the md5 numbers are actually correct. Type (in a terminal)
md5 <name of file>
Example
md5 recovery.img
and compare that number to the number found in the nandroid.md5
