I was trying to unpack the system.new.dat but I didn't have any luck, I tried dat2img and several more tools.
How can I do this process?

How to edit EXT4 image files in windows?

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a beginner.
I have a system.ext4 file that I was able to extract from my firmware. I need to delete the unwanted APK files.
I used 7-Zip to view the files inside the .ext4, but I can't delete the apk files as it says it's "read only".
What software can I edit the .ext4 file so that I can have free access, or at least delete files within it?
Thanks.

Motorola G32 Recovery.img

Hi Everyone,
I have a Motorola G32. I need to extract a stock recovery.img from the motorola factory package. The version is DEVON_G_S2SNS32.34_60_5_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.
Can you please advise me as to how I can get the recovery.img? The boot.img is inside there when I unzip the package but no recovery.img. Not sure where to get one. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Cheers.
