try out archikitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597220
with it you can create a flashable zip from the firmware files and from the zip you can extract everything you want.

You can also try using the magic ISO, it can also help you in extracting the .img file ! try using it and see if that works out for you !

I can't use it since I don't have a system.dat file. I only have system.img file.

Oh , I thought you were running Ubuntu , because with Ubuntu you can mount the system.img with a command and browse it with the file explorer as if it was an USB removable disk.
THE FOLLOWING GUIDE IS FOR OREO IMAGES.
TO UNPACK AMLOGIC 9.0 PIE IMAGES, WATCH THIS TUTORIAL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/exDD6YOC4HU
Hey Everyone! Many people requested me on forumXperience to make a repacking/unpacking guide for Amlogic Oreo/Pie Images. So yesterday, when I had time I started to create my own windows tool for you guys to unpack and repack Amlogic Oreo/Pie Images.
You can now easily extract files in a few clicks and edit them to flash on your devices!
Very simple to use and it works great and is also faster than stock Amlogic Customization Tool which unfortunately doesn't support Oreo images.
There may be a few bugs that I am unaware of, so please let me know if you run into any problem. Later, I may add recovery and kernel unpacking option in the tools.
Thanks to Ricky for his Customisation Tools, I used his binaries for this project
The tool is pretty much open for everyone to edit and modify, it has batch scripts so you can easily edit with Notepad and learn the process of Amlogic Unpacking/Repacking manually [emoji23]
Here you can download the tool:
[Amlogic Unpacker by Nayam.zip]

it works fine. thanks.....
i was going to buy the other tool but this did the work without any money

Good to hear. This has been flying under the radar and people really didn't care about this tool. Glad to see atleast there's someone using this.
Yes it does unpack/repack oreo images but it doesn't (yet) unpack recovery and kernel which I thought were not really important for the time being. Unpacking vendor and system will do all the work if you want to mod ROMs. Kernel and Recovery modifications are really not required and can be avoided by using alternative ways.

But Image Pack Failed (Android 9 Pie)
Level 1 repack doesnt work with A95X Max.
Copy Level 1 folder into Ricky Customisation tool "tmp" folder and repack with that.
like your tool..

get rickys customisation tool, in the folder of ricky customisation tool, create a folder called "tmp".
Now unpack your firmware with nayams tool (both level 1 and 2) and copy the level 1 and 2 folders from the "unpacked" folder and paste them into you newly created "tmp" folder.
start rickys customisation tool, edit and repack your rom from there.
hope that make sense

I'm sorry for not explaining everything correctly.
Level 2 is unpacked after unpacking level 1.
You cannot unpack level 2 without unpacking level 1 first.
Similarly, the repack script I wrote first repacks level 2 and then repacks level 1. If you want these separated, I can provide that too.
So you need to run the scripts in order.
Run script number 1, then 2. Then make changes in level 2 folder and then run repacking script.

Thanks for confirming, I'll fix the repacking script If it's causing problems.

If Pie images aren't working, please wait for a fix. I'll try some pie images out and will update the commands

Thanks.
it does repack the firmware but after flashing the a95x max, it just hangs on the boot logo and doesnt get to the boot animation.
as said before, if i take the unpacked level 1 contents from your tool and repack with rickys tool, A95X max flashes and boots perfectly.
level 2 to level 1 repack doesnt seem to be an issue, purely level 1 to img repack.
@Tonian1878: Thx for the explanation!

I tried it that way. Unfortunately, there is always an error message "Failed to repack system, default will be used"..
The image will be packed correctly, but my changes will be overwritten again.
Do you use AMLogicTools_V6.0.0?
