After cygwin extracts the firmware, there is system.img. I was unable to extract it even if the explore2fs opened up, so I found up this method.
anything more to ask?

u can use to extract system folder in cygwin...sometimes it is useful...to have options...
u almost must know 2 to 3 different methods...
like i can do this diffrently as follows...
download http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Misc Files/SGS2 to Ext4 Utility/sgs2toext4.zip
extract it somewhere.
make sure u have java installed
in the folder extracted right click with shift button ppressed...u will get option to open command window here.
when cmd is open give this command
java -jar sgs2toext4.jar
it will open up.
then just drag and drop ur system.img there and u get system.ext4.img
download disk internal linux reader from internet
after installing disk internal linux reader ...click on mount image.>>raw image>>next>>browse to our ext4.img file created.
and u can browse ur system.img there and can save it. u can also mount hidden.ext4.img,cache.ext4.img like wise.
this can be very usefull if u want to extract chache,hidden,system imgs. (u might get bored of linux and want to do some fun on ur windows pc).

Idid not mean to offend you. At least k2wl give a proper response. When you give a "guide" you should at least give a reason or purpose. I am interested on the system folder as a lot of things there pertaining to the rom. Maybe you found a way in windows to put it back to "img" ? We don't know because you did not explain. So please stop being emotional and give a proper response like k2wl did.

I thought you must be knowing that would "system.img" is.
After cygwin setup working folder system.img is present inside it. I was not able to extract it using the cygwin as it was not responding. So I found an alternate method, this method will extract the system files. And then you can place it inside the working folder.

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.

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",

);
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
http://android.modaco.com/topic/311...s-new-version-of-split-updatapl/page__st__180
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?
Hi @all,
I´m using the Flashtool and other provided tools here in the Forum for a long time (thanks to all people who are involved in the developing)
Now I want to give something back.
I´m not a developer but I understand (hopefully) basic things.
I have also some phones which does not support the flashmode so I am reliant to the fastboot mode and CWM.
At this point my goal was to flash the stock ROM to the Xperia Z.
I found a tuturial how to make a flashable zip file for CWM but it was for old devices with yaffs2 filesystem and the new ones have ext4.
After some search I found everything what is needed and I want to share it with you.
The Tutorial covers basic things but maybe it will help some people who will try it.
Step 1
Download the Stock-FW you want (FTF-File)
Step 2
Rename the .ftf File to .zip
Step 3
Extract the system.sin (with 7zip or WinRar for example)
Step 4
Open Flashtool go to "Tools" -> "Sin Editor" -> Choose the extracted system.sin and push "extract" Data
Step 5
You will get an system.ext4 file
Step 6
We have to extract the files which are in the system.ext4 file - for this I used the DiskInternal Linux Reader
Step 7
After extracting the files you have to put all the files in a folder named "system" (low letters)
Step 8
Create a folder named for example "Firmware"
Step 9
Put the "system" folder in the "Firmware" folder
Step 10
Download the Attached META-INF File - extract it and copy the META-INF Folder in the "Firmware" folder
Step 11
Now you have in your "Firmware" folder two sub-folders
"system" and "META-INF"
Now you only have to zip the both folders for example with 7zip or WinRar
Important: You have to set the compression to "Store"
Step 12
Copy the zip File to your SD-Card and flash it with CWM
If you want you can now add files to the system folder - like busy box - and or modify things and flash it over CWM.
Special thanks to Bin4ry
Best regards

Learned ! Thank you.
Nice tutorial!
EDIT: The flashable zip is huge (990MB), did this have anything to do with the compression being set to 'store'?

If you don't set it to store it wont work at all, no rom/flashable zip have anything other than store compression the same goes for bootanimations

You have to selected the .ext4 file open with LinuxReader. (like you .doc file with Word)
LinuxReader will "mounted" it in his own window, open your "new" disk (2Go) then select the "Save" option above...

did it via linux ! thanks any way !
When I tried to extract Xperia S's stock rom from the ftf using DiskReaderInternals, then the rom would boot but USB would never work. Even the guy above me (ShivangDave) tried extracting using DiskReaderInternals for Miro but the rom failed to boot and got stuck at the Sony logo. That's why it is better to use linux to extract the system.ext4 image.

This Tutorial should also work with the Neo V. Only one thing could be different.
But depending on your Android Version (when I remember well) it could be possible that you have instead of an ext4 file a yaffs2 file. In this case you can search the forum for an how to for this extension.

I use a template for flashing various things and I just drop stuff in it using Normal compression and it flashes ok, might be more important for full ROMs or zips to be run on the Phone like a boot animation, but for flashing the odd apk or other file I don't think it matters.

I've done this numerous times, tried renaming it and all, I swear I did this the exact same way a few weeks ago and it worked no problem. Ext2Explorer doesn't do anything and the ext4 Unpacker freezes and always makes me force close it now. I'm using Windows 8.1 but I also tried this by mounting in Linux and I get an error as well, "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0," etc... So I'm not sure what happened I've downloaded the firmware from 2 different sources and from one of the sources I downloaded it from 4 different mirrors totaling 5 different downloads so there is no way my files are corrupt it won't work with ANY of them. I'm honestly so confused I don't even know where to look anymore so here I am posting along with the last few people that seem to share my pain. Hopefully someone can help us.
This is the firmware I'm using download and try it out for me pretty please let me know if your system has any issues?

DOne 50 %:good:
Step 1)
Download Diskinternals Linux reader and open it up.
Step 2)
Download sgs2ext4.jar and open it up.
Step 3)
Take you system.img and move it into the sgs2ext4.jar application and wait until it is done.
Step 4)
Now you should get a system.img.ext4 file or something like that just make sure ext4/ext is in the name
Step 5)
Now in Diskinternals click on Drives –> mount image, now a window will pop-up, leave the box on RAW disk image and click next, now search for the system.img ext4 file and choose it.
Step 6)
Now you see a new drive which looks like this: Linux EXT Volume 1 (Number can be different) Open the drive and click on commands and then select all.
Step 7)
Now do Ctrl+S to save the files where you want them, i suggest you to make a folder on you desktop called system and save it there.
Good Luck !:laugh:

Doesn't work. When you open system.img.ext4 with it, it errors out saying "File system not supported." There's an extra step for Samsung firmwares, unfortunately the sgs2ext4.jar tool posted around XDA no longer works (it's over two years old anyway).

your right, Linux Reader will not work with the SGS4 img files.
So I was looking for the same thing and put together a way that worked for me on windows 7 64bit...
1. download the sgs2toext4.jar from rwilco12's website or the xda thread
2. run sgs2toext4.jar and then drag your "system.img.ext4" file that you got from your tar.md5 file into the main window that says "Drag Here"
3. it will take a couple minutes to create the new "system.img.ext4.img" file, so let it run until it says in the window that it is done...then close the program
4. download ext2explore-2.2.71 from the sourceforge website
5. once downloaded, extract the .exe file and right click on ext2explore.exe to "run as administrator"
6. then click on File at top left and then Open Image...select your "system.img.ext4.img" file

Linux reader works perfect, you just need to use an older version, not the latest

run sgs2toext4.jar and then drag your "system.img.ext4" file that you got from your tar.md5 file into the main window that says "Drag Here"

Except that when I drag my system.img.ext4 file to the sgs2ext4.jar window, it just keeps saying "0 bytes" forever and ever and extracts nothing. I left it for an hour once and it just created a 0-byte file.

Have you by any chance installed the Java SDK? If not, try installing that first before running the applet.

I have the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Why would I need the entire SDK?

Buddy. Have to you found out the solution for this?
Even I am trying to extract Note 4 Lollipop rom but not possible.
Any work around?
Thanks.
Try this guys: You have to emulate Linux in windows using cygwin and that will unpack the system.img.ext4 files
Use the modified android kitchenHere and learn the way to install it in the original thread here
Run android kitchen and then choose the rom and voila! unpacked! Now I don't know if it will work with lollipop but you can give it a try
too complicated? for simpler ways try : this

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.
