How to extract factoryfs.img?

i'm uploading right now
this will take a wile...
if you have a running linux distro than use tar xvf <filename> to extract the tar file
factoryfs.img
cache.img
hidden.img
boot.bin
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage

Flashable through download mode?
Will be interesting to see the differences. Guess its a country variant?
No FOTA updates here.

As already said before, you can extract using linux.

For you who want the file untouched from Sammys fus-server, use this info
CheckFusDownloader_v0.5.exe -dl I9100XWKDD/I9100OXXKDC/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD NEE GT-I9100

I've tried everything I can think of on this .img, and I can't get in. >:|

Flashing this now to see what happens. Wish us luck.

Flipping hell! Just had a screen come up asking for a password after flashing so I typed in my lockscreen password and that worked. Was a bit worried I bricked it for a second.

Ok, it's a non-wipe flash update. Programs and TW4 layout still intact after flash. Maybe placebo but seems like it was a performance improvement update.
Flashed with Odin3 v1.83, just put the unzipped file in the PDA without any .pit file and flashed.

[tutorial] | how to extract system.sin

why to extract system.sin?
you can use it to retrieve lost files, like apps.
what do we need to have to extract the system.sin?
- winrar/winzip/7zip/etc...
-the latest flashtool
-yaffey
so lets start
first we need to extract the system.sin from the FTF using winrar/winzip/etc...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
now open flashtool and go to: advanced->sin editor, and choose the system.sin
and then dump the DATA.
note: you need to wait, it might take a while.
now you will get the system.yaffs2
so now you need to open yaffey and open system.yaffs2
now you can do what ever you want with the files,
extract them, replace them...

i might need that

i might need that too

i don't think so. it might work on the cache and the data.
if you want to extract the kernel there are guides for that in the dev section.

ST18i probably doesn't use yaffs2, maybe ext4.

how to you recompak the extracted and modified file back into a SIN file?

you can repack it to a .img file with yaffey or mkyaffs2.
it is not possible to create a .sin file if you are not SONY

I use unyaffs.exe (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112906)

I don't think so, if it's ext4, then the output file should be system.ext4 instead of system.yaffs2, it also happens to ST15i ICS system.sin, and ext2explore can't open it too (so, it isn't ext4 for sure).
Maybe, yaffey doesn't support sony ICS yaffs2 disk image?

it doesn't matter if its ics or not, and i tried myself on ics.
if yaffey can't open it than maybe the file is corrupted.
can you get a screenshot of the error or write it?

As you can all see on the first post, the content type field inform you about the type of data embedded into the sin file. As far as it is yaffs2, everything should be fine (I never had any issues with yaffs2 images). In case it is ext4, here begins headache sometimes it works and image can be loop mounted under linux for example. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you can view folder structure but as soon as you try to edit a text file (.prop file for example or one in etc folder), you get a completely corrupted file.
The problem is not with extraction. It is with how sony deals with ext4 filesystems. I didn't figure out yet how to make it work all the time.
If the content type is elf, use the Advanced->Elf Extractor to unpack the content. You can try with kernel.sin for example and I'm sure you will recognize some things once extracted

I know that, system.sin from GB was extracted without any error, I faced the problem only with system.sin from ICS.
both system.sin from GB and ICS (ST15i) after were dumped using flashtool are system.yaffs2 (the content type field also showed yaffs2).

The error I've got is exactly the same as mxsam4's screenshot.
I don't think that it's corrupted since the ftf file was flashed fine into my phone (I extracted system.sin from it).
P.S.
I didn't get any error when opening system.yaffs2 from system.sin from GB ftf.

Ext4.win is the backup file made by TWRP. Ext4 is the filesystem of the file (I assume) and .win is their extension. It may just be as easy as renaming it to .zip and opening it, kind of like a .apk
He probably wants to extract his apps

Re: [Q] Extract *ext4.win files ([A] They are '.tar' archives)
I arrived here from a google search for the same problem so I thought others might, too. Here is what I found:
Code:
# file data.ext4.win
data.ext4.win: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
# mkdir data
# cd data
# tar xf ../data.ext4.win
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
...
While this worked, I was surprised that 7Zip complained that it did not recognize the file type, even when I changed the name to 'data.tar'.
Long story short: TWRP '*.ext4.win' backup files appear to be '*.tar' UNIX "tape archives". I would hesitate to say "standard 'tar' files" only because I encountered some unexplained wrinkle. (7Zip usually doesn't have any trouble.)

I know this thread is a year old, but it's still relevant as there is not much information about this
On windows you can use tartool from here: https://tartool.codeplex.com/
Code:
tartool -x system.ext.win output_folder

better yet, http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidicsjbext/, gui ext4 extractor

Change extension from win to tar and open with winrar.

If on windows open the win file in 7Zip, Extract the .ext4 file, and then open the ext4 file with 7zip

hi my some problem help me for this format upacking

Did you do this?
1. Extract ocasie.rar and place both ocasie..exe and a folder in another folder.
2. Place system.img (make sure of this name,no other) in the folder containing contents of ocasie.rar.
3. Run ocasie.exe.
If the system is extracted it would say it to you

CWM backup would work if all I wanted to do was extract my own backups but everytime everytime there is a official update, the update won't work because the /system/app apk's have to be stock while mines is always updated with the latest versions so trying to find away to extract the stock /system/app apk's from the images.

I readed the ROM from my phone (MTK6572) with MTK Droid tools and I made a backup of my ROM. I loaded it again in my phone and it works without problem. Now I'm trying to make changes to the ROM. Change the build.prop and install an apk. I use MTK Thai Developer Tools to unpack my system.img and I'm able to do it without problems. Afther make the changes I repack the file with the same tool and I get a file called system_ext4_new.img without errors or warnings. Now I rename the file to system.img and overwrite the original system.img in the forlder "!Files_to_flashtool". I'm able to write the ROM back to my phone with SP Flashtools but the phone doesn't work. It try to start but get stuck and I have to remove the battery. I tryed to simply unpak my system.img and repack it whitout changes but the problem remains. So I'm thinking that the file that I get from MTK Thai Tools can't be used in a ROM that will be flashed with SP Flashtools. What I'm doing wrong?. I need another tools to repack my system.img and use it with SP Flashtools?
Sorry if the question was already answered but I'm seaching over the forum and I found no answer.
Thanks in advance.

mtk6592 redmi mote 3 ?

I have a Oukitel 6000 Pro,this have a MTK 6753,but the Tool shows mit MTK 6735 ??
What is wrong??

I'm getting "E:Error executing updater binary in zip" when I unpack and repack without making ANY changes. I noticed that before I unpack, the original system.new.dat is 465 MB, whereas after I repack, the new system.new.dat is 427 MB. And the original system.transfer.list is 382 bytes, whereas after I repack, the new system.transfer.list is 1,125 bytes.
I am not making ANY changes. Just unpacking and repacking.
When I first used the tool, I was able to unpack, make changes, repack and flash the zip file and boot my phone with no issues. But suddenly it stopped doing it right. I have the proper java and python. I don't understand what happened.

Can this tool unpack the sumsang stock roms too? if not what then what tool will unpack and repack the stock system img for samsung .
