This should be in the cross device development section.
On another note, the thread you link to in option 21 of the tool is vastly out of date and advises the use of vroot (Which should be discouraged on XDA due to it sending IMEI numbers to an ip address in china, the official xda stance on this is to always give a warning about that which this thread, or your tool does not)
One other point, is it OK to have the folder in any path on your computer or will it need to be in the same folder as fastboot files?

I have reported mod to move the thread already. OK, I will correct the thread of z1 and link appropriate thread.
you can extract it in any path. Fastboot is included with this tool and also you can drag and drop boot.img from any path.
Thankyou for correcting.
Thanks,
It looks good...I just managed to look through the folder and see the fastboot folders.
Thanks for the good work

I remember hearing that we need something signed when being flashed to our phone but I have not heard of anyone using this tool that I came across when looking for ROM cooking information.
Has anyone given androsign a shot yet to try and sign the zip files that people were trying to flash using the goldcard?
I'm not sure if this is what needs to be signed or if it were the .img file itself but maybe its worth a try?
I found this in the HTC Hero: G2 Touch section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711
The Androsign stuff is in the Tools section near the bottom of the post.

Androsign script (linux)
I wrote that androsign script to quick sign zip files. Just put it in your <SDK>/tools folder, then chmod +x. If you have put the tools folder in your PATH, you can call it directly like this:
androsign /dev/folder1/folder2/update.zip (or any zip/apk file)
It will output an update-signed.zip (or app-signed.apk etc) in the same folder than original file was in.

Check out the new Root Thread....There you will find all the Devs and what they are trying and have tried and so on
I'll look into androsign. I'm assuming it uses the engineering key, because as far as I know HTC's privatekey hasn't been broken.
Thanks!
Androsign uses the engineering bootloader key. We don't have an engineering bootloader.
can someone who has not unlocked their bootloader go through the "repair" process in either one of the software updaters located here
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...teyourproductsoftware/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en
when it downloads the repair image for your phone it will stores it on your computer probably somewhere in this folder
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson
or
start>run> %temp%
the file will be ~100mb or more
if someone can download that file and upload it to any media shareing website it would be greatly appreciated
I and we will need this for custom roms, root, and recovery if something goes afoot.
many thanks,
grant
EDIT: just an FYI this is different than the system.img /system dump that is floating around the recovery contains the boot.img, nv.img radio.img and among other things
hi johnsongrantr i just bought an xperia play sim free locked bootloader. I am new to the android front (newbie) been an iphone user for a while, if you explain what i need to do to get the recovery img i am more than happy to help
regards
Jason
C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
is where it will be and it will be called something like: FILE_277919341 and will be 157MB
Just done it but that file cant be opened even with magiciso like other roms can.
there is this as well:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...etailed/updateservice/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en
interestingly the above software tells you to press the back key before plugging in the usb!

thanks, if you or anyone else is following along at home, universal extractor http://legroom.net/software/uniextract can extract *most* archive files unless it is heavily encrypted... then more digging I must do.
BUT... if that works, how to inject root access to a already compiled boot.img + ram disk have a look at this guide
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
read the whole article but pay attention to the "alternative method" where you modify default.prop and change the line ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
that's basically all there is to it. Lets hope we can cleanly extract the contents of that file shall we
Already tried that as well bud just shows me a log file and thats it.
Need to rename it to use uniextract but nothing is accepted it fails on all
I litterly have no idea how we get the image file short of jtagging it!
how did they get it for the arc?

shouldn't need jtagging, might be able to get an unsecure x10/or arc boot.img to boot enough to pull the info we need, but I don't want to even start messing with that junk yet
was this before or after the source for the arc was released?

they might have just compiled from source.... sadly, the play doesn't have it's source out yet
EDIT:x10/ or arc
not sure been following the arc threads for a while they havent rooted yet but they are leaps ahead of us we cant make stage 1.
cant get an answer yet as to how they got it, ive posted but waiting on a reply

If you go to "downloads" on top of that page, the sourecode for Gingerbread Xperia (Arc AND Play) are there, the one you link is not Arc. Seems all Xperia (new) is compiled from same source.

Description:
The AndroidLib Expansion Project was created to bring support of more Android devices to my AndroidLib.dll project I'm working on. This project is a Windows executable (compiled batch script) that you will run on your computer with your Android device connected. This will NOT run automatically; it will give you a prompt to run after opening.
The main purpose of this project is to collect data about new phones for AndroidLib.dll, not about your specific phone, but about how it transfers specific data through it's shell and through the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), and more importantly, how that output is formatted.
This information will not be shared with anyone other than myself, and will only be used for further developing AndroidLib.dll to support many more Android devices than it currently does.
Source Code is available under "Download Info"
What it does:
Starts an Adb server
Checks Device List
Checks Device Type
Checks Device Serial (only for unique .zip filename)
Checks For SU
Checks UID
Checks BusyBox
Checks File System
Checks Battery Statistics
Checks Running Processes
Checks /data/system/packages.xml for existance
Checks Build Properties
Checks Shell Environment
Creates Zip of Data Above
Opens Upload Form in Browser After Exiting
NOTE: Does NOT Upload Automatically
Usage:
Download the Windows Executable below and run from any directory on your computer with your Android device connected.

Check the Desktop folder in %USERPROFILE%\Desktop as well instead of just the graphical desktop. I have tested it working on 5 different computers here...
Can you upload to another site

Yeah, you can, if you send me the link to it.. but I just wrote that upload script so it would just go straight to my server.. Upload it to mediafire if you would like.
I realize now that this exe may not have worked correctly. I've had 3 reports now of no zip being created on the desktop. I am working to solve this issue, as you see in the source.. it really has no reason not to be creating on the desktop.
I'll be glad to help, if only it created a zip file for me to upload.
EDIT: I checked the %USERPROFILE%/Desktop as well as running a search for anything containing "androidlib" in C:\Users... nothing.
2 things.
1st, it won't make a zip file for anyone that doesn't have 7zip or the required folder structure (there is no standard environment variable of %myfiles% - just use %temp% instead), and it's assuming subfolders exist for output of the adb commands.
2nd, why is it an exe file when it's a batch file? Please link the bat file instead of an exe. I'm running the bat file I copied and pasted from the source and it runs just fine.

Well, if you knew who I was or looked at anything else I have written, you'd realize that I know what I'm doing, and that I would not assume everyone has the standard environment variable %MYFILES% or have 7zip installed. I am assuming in this program, actually, that the end user does NOT have the android sdk set up (or in their path) and does NOT have any 7 zip binaries. I created a self extracting exe out of my batch file that includes adb.exe, the 2 required adb dlls, and the 7 zip binary, all in the global variable %MYFILES% (aTemp folder in %temp%). It works fine. Just need to figure out why it creates a zip on all of my computers, and not any of yours. I appreciate the feedback though.

Thanks for letting me know you ran a full search and nothing came up still, that actually does help me out, telling me it didn't write to anywhere else. I'll have a working version for you guys in a little bit.
Ok guys, fixed the problem. Works great now. Check the source code and VirusTotal report in the first post if you need to. Thanks again for everyone helping with this! And special thanks to nebenezer for testing the new builds!

Ok thanks for clarifying. The way you presented your self in your post sounded like somewhat of "this n00b doesn't know what he's doing, and I'm gonna let him know that" lol I'm a pretty chill guy, I just don't appreciate when people do that.
And thank you for doing some uploads later! I appreciate it!
This is my upload link because i couldn't upload with your page. It says "The file you are trying to upload is not a .zip file. Please try again."

Apologies if that's how I came across - it wasn't intended. I've just uploaded a couple of zip files for you.
Thank you to everyone who has uploaded a zip so far! This is really helping development on AndroidLib. I am still accepting more uploads, so if you feel like helping develpment of AndroidLib, feel free to download and run the exe! I'm needing a few more Samsung devices in particular, those seem to vary in output between themselves.

This is what the team sent me.
I DO NOT HAVE THE RAR PASSWORD FOR THIS.
Oxygen - https://s3.amazonaws.com/oneplussupport/Op3/OnePlus3_16_A.07_160606.rar
Unless you can crack a rar archive without the password (they say it can be done but I haven't personally done it), then its useless on these forums.
Thats the stock image AND the msmdownload tool they use to flash the rom from a hidden Download Mode the OnePlus has when you Hold Volume Up while the phone is off and then you plug the USB in the phone.
They delete the system image and tool they extracted when they're done with it, but they didn't delete the locked archive. Because the password was left in my clipboard, I was able to re-extract the contents. Now I got me this convenient tool the support team uses that I can easily use to un****up my ****ups in the future.

Is the image only for your device or can you share it?

Dude, if you don't want to share your files with this community, there is no need to come here defy us with your finding. This tool might be very useful for OP 3T community.
If you want to share, go ahead and community will be grateful.
If you don't want to, don't say anything.
The said archive can be brute forced in order to extract it. But as some before me have said, unless you share it this post has no use to us whatsoever. Think before posting.
well if you can share the password then it would be amazing..
1. Why is this bumped? Oh, because of a junior...
2. That is for OP3 and not 3T
3. What is wrong with this unbrick thread, which seems to be the similar to what OP posted about, except it's for 3T.
F*** the password. That RAR is irrelevant here.

I'm annoyed because I already told him/them what was in the archive and no one wanted to search/google the tool name, just imply that I'm an asshole because I overlooked the thread 3 months ago.

Weird that anyone would need custom zip files - from a unknown source - when we have guides and confirmed files right here on XDA.
In checking the links out, I get directed to spam sites (those annoying 'virus detected' or 'you've won X' alerts that force you to close the browser) and asked for my Google account login.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but this doesn't seem legit.
