if you still want to extract those files just upload them to rapid or somewhere else and give the address i am using ubuntu GNU/linux i may help you by extracting and repacking to tar.gz or zip whichever you want and send it back?

[Q] Only 3 files in I5800XXJPM.zip

HI I have downloaded the I5800XXJPM.zip firmware but it has only 3 files in it. Now i am confused how to flash it in Odin. I have flashed earlier using both the method like different files and one package but this file is different. I think i need to make a tar file before.
files that is under the zip file is: factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin and zImage.
Please suggest me the right way.

probably you open the tar file, those three files are inside the tar.

not its a zip file which has a size of 125 Mb. Previously I flashed my odin with both ways (one package and also with 4 different files) but both of those files were different. Can u give me a link so that I download the right file. Make sure its XXJPM coz i will then flash to Indroid 4.1, currently i m in XXJPF.

1% battery mod is working only with fugumod 2.4 kernals!!
what you want to know about themes../??
Just go to themes section download any theme you like..
read all the instructions..
generally there are two to three files which you have to replace with old files in system/framework folder.
some have themed apks also.
you have to replace them with old apks in system/app
that should be helpful!!
PS A thanks buttob do exist there if u dont know !!

The missing files were logo.png and cache.rfs.
I think that missing logo.png is not big deal, but I don't know what cahe.rfs is supposed to do.

that script is already included in dsixda kitchen....the problem is that the kitchen extracts the updata.app and a "out" folder (where there are some files, among them system.img).
the most important problem is that i can't extract system.img with dsixda.

It should be (I haven't checked it myself) an ext3 image, which you can just mount under Linux anyway.

No, doesn't work either. The link is for unyaffs, which is the same app dsxda kitchen uses for extraction

just tested on ubuntu. i have obtained the system.img but i had some issues extracting updata.app and i don't have the boot.img

I not open please video or photo
ı'm using ubuntu latest version

I am trying to sort this out now, but not getting so far. Looks to me that the hash locations found in the script are wrong so it is not finding boot.img and other files and is breaking the script.
http://www.zebadger.com/android/scripts/split_updata.txt
Code:
my %fileHash=( "\x00\x00\x00\x10","appsboot.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\x20","file25.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\x30","boot.img",
"\x00\x00\x00\x40","system.img",
"\x00\x00\x00\x50","userdata.img",
"\x00\x00\x00\x60","recovery.img",
"\x00\x00\x00\xC0","file11.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xD0","file08.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xE0","file05.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xF0","file04.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xF1","file07.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xF2","splash.raw565",
"\x00\x00\x00\xF3","file01.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xF4","file02.mbn",

"\x00\x00\x00\xF9","version.txt",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFA","file20.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFB","appsboothd.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFC","file23.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFD","file16.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFE","file18.mbn",
"\x00\x00\x00\xFF","file21.mbn",
);
Have looked through the update.app with a hex editor, but not seeing anything that correlates to those lines. Can find boot.img etc, but they are referenced differently. Will look at if hex dump is a different thing and see if it references boot.img properly. If we could get this working, we could make a lot more custom roms as it would be easier to make them in the kitchen using official huawei files with mods.

Ok so system.img can be mounted using furius iso in linux on a loop setting, not a fuse one. Now to try and find the boot.img

See last post, unless he is only joking/being sarcastic, looks like we may get some support for our update.app files for the u8800 in zebadgers script. would be great if we could get full support in the android kitchen for our phone

Ok, last one for now, spent whole afternoon combing through scripts and hex editor readouts. Still not much closer. I can find a couple of files in zebadgers script that if you rename them to boot.img (F0, F3 and F4) will let the script do its job, but they are clearly not the boot.img, too small and not right.
There are still four mystery files named unknown_file 0-3 and 2 look to be the correct size for a kernel/boot.img but I dont know where they come from. They are not from the filehashes in my above post.

hi paul....so did you managed to obtain the system.img from update.app?
which script have you used?
about the boot.img: i don't think that it is absolutely necessary....i can copy my boot.img through the pink screen and use it in the dsixda kitchen. is that right?
ps: i think that the boot.img of the B512 is the same of the B540...isn't it?

over stepped my bounderies

Here it is, I need to extract stock img from root folder so I can supply a few guy with it . I lost the tutorial on how to do that can someone brush me up on the how tops thanks in advance guys

So, where is the problem? If you just want it completly original download the flashable unrooted stock zip from here and unzip the file. It contains all partitions from the phone. If you need the files inside of those images just rename the *.bin- and *.img-files to *-zip and unzip them. Done.
Good luck.

Unroot & Re-pack firmware?

I had 50pc japan version of s5(sc-04f), installed rom 'G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN'. The downside of this rom is that its pre-rooted. I managed to unroot it by goin in supersu & click 'full-unroot'. But i had multiple devices to flash, so is there a way for me to re-pack this firmware again after i unroot it? So that i could flash it to my other devices without root.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Should we search for this firmware or you can provide a link to its thread?

Generally, if it's 6.0.1 and rooted systemlessly, you need to replace boot.img with a stock one and remove SuperSU app from system.img.
This ROM intended to be flashed from TWRP, so it's an ext4 image.
You can mount it to a linux system on your PC and remove anything you want.

I havent done anything like this before. Could u give me some links or guides? My PC is running Windows 10.

Ok, here' a simpler way:
1. Make changes on one phone.
2. Make a TWRP backup of boot and system partitions.
3. Restore this backup on other phones. They must have TWRP installed, a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem.
You'll have to rename backup's folder path and to wipe cache/data/system before restore.

can i use winrar to extract & compile the rom, without linux? So that i will have a much faster flashing process for all other units..

Ok, I've managed to download that ROM at last.
The things look even simpler.
To prepare an "unrooted" ROM:
1. Download the zip form this post and unpack updater-script somewhere.
2. Make a copy of V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip, open it with Windows Explorer and replace V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the file you've unpacked from the attachment.
3. Try to flash ans see if it's what you need.

thx so much, already passed all units to the buyer. ill try that on next batch restock, may iknow if there's a way to get the service menu shortcode *#0*# to work again? This rom doesn't has the service menu.
