Hi guys I have a nandroid backup files Which contains System.ext4.win(it is a TWRP backup file) now i want to convert it to system.img.
I don't want to use TWRP recovery for its restoration. Just want to restore via FASTBOOT commands. If you guys have any Ideas or sentiments then please provide the guide HOW TO CONVERT IT INTO .img file. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE=[Please don't tell me that you can restore it ONLY via TWRP!!!!! I am STUBBORN I JUST want to FLASH this file ONLY and ONLY via FASTBOOT MODE ]
Rename system.ext4.win to system.img & flash it.

Guys can I convert efs folder to an img or tar file. Because I've flashed a custom rom without backing up my efs in a img or tar file.
Does anyone knows how to convert it guys?
Makes no difference what format the backup is, as long as you make one before you flash.
You mean. I can convert it to a flashable zip and flash it on recovery.?
You can do what ever you like, provided the efs wasn't corrupt before you made the backup.
So I'm used to doing backup of devices in TWRP but it seems that nandroid is the way you do it with these. I downloaded and ran a backup to SD Card. I chose the option for TWRP backup, will that allow me to do a restore of the image I created here from recovery or would i need to install TWRP recovery to recover? If I chose the backup type Clockworkmod would that be restoreable from stock recovery? The directory it created is only 1.6GB w/o compression which doesn't seem right to me.
I did read the idiots guide to root first BTW.
Thanks guys.
Tried to do a recovery restore using optin recover system from backup but I have no idea the path it is looking for, it doesn't say just says no system.img so ignore. So it appears nandroid creates a system.ext4.tar so I suppose I could decompress this and see if there is a system.img file that the recovery is looking for and put it in the root of the sdcard if recovery is actually looking /external_sd.
Anyone have any input?

Ive done this but it was year's ago while making an odin flashable firmware for sgh-t599. Sorry to say I can't remember the procedure but I used guides so the info is out there.
You'll need Linux, and you must know the size of system partition and if it need to be raw img format or sparse img format.
With the right commands these img's can also be extracted straight from a working device.
How to create a full backup of the device (with all partitions) for img file?
To do flash via odin for example.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To take backup as you say for all img you have to flash TWRP recovery then go to backup menu then select partitions which you want to then switch to backup
But note that backup will not small at least 5 to 10 gb it will if you include Data partition also
