Hi everyone, I hope you're doing great
So, I'm currently trying to debloat some XOS ROMs which is Infinix's official firmware.
I have a problem repacking product.img since it doesn't have file_contexts which is required by the tools that repack .img files

these kind of img files are partition images of linux file systems, sometimes sparsed with simg2img to reduce file size.
usually, partition images can mounted in linux only, same as partitions. windows is not capable of mounting linux file systems natively.
"extracting" linux images on windows is just some nasty hack and not intended for "repacking", because windows file system (NTFS) cannot handle linux file names and its metadata (like permissions, uid/gid, secontext)
the proper way is to mount (EXT4) partition image on linux, delete files, and unmount it.
additionally it might need img2simg/simg2img (not for dynamic partitions on super partition)

I have been trying to unpack the atrix system.img file from the stock gingerbread 4.5.91 build, but I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting an error about a segmentation fault. I have tried it on linux (ubuntu), OSX and windows. Linux and OSX give me a segmentation fault using unyaffs. Windows just gives me a stack file. If anyone knows how to unpack and repack the atrix .img files in either three of the operating systems I would appreciate the help.

Recovery Unpack issue
@michfood , i've tried with all versions of your tool the first an v2 version give a sintaxys error, the v3 give "done" but al of my folders are empty, i need to edit the build.prop because my recovery is upside down ( it works but i dislike the upside down issue)
thanks in advance
PD.: i use a W7 utimate pc for unpack, ive tried from the desktop, cmd in administrator mode, from the C:/ directory but my folders are only empty after unpack, another files like rmdisk.tar and other is present but nothing in the rmdisk internal folders
all fine, but it's not unpack & pack my MTK system.img file :/
Hi @michfood,
I did unpack boot.img successfully but for editing ramdisk, but in the extracted folder there is an empty ramdisk zip and a ramdisk file...so how do i do the ramdisk editing??
custom Recovery for Tab 4
ok so I have been doing some lots of research of late into rom building, recoveries etc . I noticed there is only a TWRP recovery for Galaxy Tab 4. I want to know is the any of the guides on porting recoveries may help me build a CWM recovery for galaxy tab 4 coz most of them look like limited to MTK devices. If its possible kindly suggest a perfect start.
No problem with the OS to use am ok with any ie. Windows or linux or cygwin.
thanks
Device: Realme GT Explorer Master Edition (rmx3366). Android - 11 stock (RUI2.0_A.15). Bootloader - unlock. Root - Magisk_canary_92546e8a (patched boot.img).
1. Backup super.img by Partitions Backup & Restore or Universal Mount SystemRW.
2. Flash stock super.img without any changes
fastboot flash super super.img
3. Device does not boot into the system. Stays in fastboot mode.
Can anyone advise which way to dig?
The goal is to make the system partition writable. The problem is that it is not possible to write a super.img back, even without making any changes.
