How to unpack system.img.ext4 taken from the side SAMMOBILE.com of the phone SGS4 and SGS5 !?
Search "Diskinternals Linux Reader" on Google, download and install it.
Open the program and mount image, choose your ext4 file, that's all

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
7. Highlight the file in the right window pane and click Save
8. then save the contents to a folder of your choosing and VIOLA!!
hope that helps!
Linux reader works perfect, you just need to use an older version, not the latest

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.

aaahhh could be, its very possible...then i'm not sure, you could always host your img file on the cloud and maybe I could try and do it for you, just send me a PM with the link

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

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.

So I was trying to get the media folder from the Galaxy s4 black.
Downloaded the firmware, extracted it until system.img.ext4.
Now how do I open this?
Tried with ext2explore - it did nothing when I chose the file
Tried with diskinternals - raw disk image - File system not supported
Anybody?

I also cannot open the system.img.ext4 file with ext4 unpacker. ( it crashes after working for 15 minutes), is there another solution?
Just rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
I was having the same problem and it worked once I did this.

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?

Open Galaxy S4 system.img.ext4
This is my tested method on SHV-E330L, a korean variant of Galaxy S4.

2) Open unpacked file with ext2explore.
No other method works like ext4_unpacker etc., if it helps please hit thanks

Open system.img.ext4 in windows easily with 2 tools!
First download this 2 tools
1. linux reader
2.jar file
http://www.diskinternals.com/download/ (linux reader)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645192&d=1309768531
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:

Is there any tool to extract system.img?
UPDATE:
I found a way how to do it.
I used sgs4ext4fs by Chainfire to modify system.img and after that Ext2explore to extract files from modified system.img .
Also if anyone is interested how to extract hidden.img, first you need to modify it with sgs4ext4fs and after that use sgs2toext4. Then you can open modified hidden.img with ext4_unpacker and extract files from it.

bare with me on that one since I tried too many different options, following worked for me - required files attached here (I ziped, so hopefully XDA did not blocked it)
This is for Windows PC:
1. Download sgs4ext4fs.exe, and download firmware, unzip firmware up until you see system.img.
2. Open command prompt (on windows, click start, type cmd) where system.img, and type
sgs4ext4fs --trim system.img systemt.img
........ > you will see bunch of ............., but wait until it finishes.
3. Once it finishes it creates systemt.img, get sgs2toext4.jar (save it to the same folder), and open sgs2toext4.jar, and drag and drop newly created systemt.img to the window (sgs2toext4.jar's window), wait until it finishes, when it finishes it will create systemt.ext4.img
4. Now last step, download ext2explore.exe, and open it, and go to file --> open image and pick systemt.ext4.img, it will show the img file there (on both side of window), on the left side, select the systemt.ext4.img (should be showing full path), right click your mouse, and select save to your desktop or any other folder location you pick.
Obviously, next step will be odexing everything:laugh:

--When you have completed extracting all of them, you'll find many files including many .img files. For Apps you need to extract system.img. Unlike normal nandroid backup's system.img file which in yaffs, this stock one in different. So, unyaffs tool can't unpack the system.img
--To extract the system.img, download this tool: sgs2toext4 (created by drphrozen). On extracting it you'll have sgs2toext4.jar file.
--Open a command window and set the directory where you have .jar file.
--Now type sgs2toext4.jar and press enter.
--The .jar will run in a new window & will ask you to drag & drop the system.img file there. Do the same and wait till the process completes.
--When the process completes, you'll find a file named system.ext4.img in the same folder where you had the system.img file.
--Now download ext2reader and install it. Then open the program open your system.img.ext4
--Now navigate in to find the apk you need and extract it copy to your phone

Unfortunately this doesn't work. When you drop the system.img.ext4 file onto the sgs2ext4 tool, no file is produced. The tool just keeps endlessly repeating:
"system.img.ext4 32 B 0 B/s"
I think that tool is too old (2.5 years old) and doesn't support the newest Samsung firmwares.

The T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) NK4 firmware. I can't find any instructions online on extracting Samsung firmwares other than these, which were originally written up by rwilco12 a long time ago and reposted endlessly.

I'll try doing that in a Linux VM. I'm on Windows and the Diskinternals Linux Reader keeps saying the filesystem is invalid.

I found that the Linux method works on my Mac. Took a ton of tinkering and restarting the emulator on my machine.
sgs2ext4.jar did not work for me in Windows. It just hangs.

The SAMMOBILE firmware or the system.img? I'm not yet downloading it. Let's see if I can resume the download.
I'm trying to install Wear 2.0 Developer Preview 3 on Huawei Watch. I'm currently using Developer Preview 2, so I thought I'd be familiar with the flashing process.
Anyhow, all the tutorials I managed to find include a part with running a flash-all.bat, which for some reason isn't included in the preview image package I downloaded from https://developer.android.com/wear/...ampaign=android_discussion_wearpreview_092916 .
Where can I get the flash-all.bat?
Edit: Umm, I decided not to go with DP3 at least for now. I thought I'd return to the official stock firmware, but how do I perform the flashing? Do I manually have to edit the file names in flash-all.bat to match the file name of the stock rom's name? Does it matter that the stock rom came as a .tgz even though the files mentioned in the flash-all.bat are .img and .zip? Damn this is confusing, and googling isn't helping at all...
This page is what I'm using as a guide. Worked fine though did take a bit to get the flash-all.bat to run. All files are included in the downloads. Top download is preview image. Bottom is to go back to stock.
https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
The stock download from that page does not contain a flash-all.bat.
I used stock download for flashing and ewerything goes just fine. Just extract all packages in same folder. But if you are interested use this link http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Huawei Watch/Firmware. There is all revisions.

The downloadable files there are .tgz and do not include any .bats or .zips (I tried opening with 7-Zip).

Thanks, I'll try that page :good:
Edit: Thanks @cerisu, the downloads on rootjunkysdl.com included the files I needed I wonder why they're not on the official Android development page...?

Personally, I would be grateful if someone can provide me with the set of documents already downloaded and extracted; and, if I am not asking too much, to please give me a dumbman's procedure to get the Wear 2 software to work on my watch.
Having to now wait until early 2017 will surely drive me crazy!
