The original thread (in Russian) is here. Actually the original thread is about several tools to works with different images for different phones. But we will talk only about Moto X.
The guide will describe how to extract all files from system partition from stock firmware. The tools works under Windows (I personally tested it on Win 7).
If you unzip any stock firmware (for instance ROGERS-CA_GHOST_KXA20.16-1.26_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) you will find one file, which represents system partition: system.img.
To extract all files from system.img please do:
1. Download ImgExtractor_1_3_4.rar and extract it.
2. Create directory System in the folder where system.img is located;
3. Copy ImgExtractor.exe into the folder where system.img is located;
4. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where system.img is located
5. In CMD run the following: ImgExtractor system.img System
After ImgExtractor finished you will have all system files and folders in System directory.
That's all
PS. ImgExtractor also can extract modem firmware (NON-HLOS.bin)
Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours

The original thread (in Russian) is here. Actually the original thread is about several tools to works with different images for different phones. But we will talk only about Moto X 2014.
The guide will describe how to extract all files from system partition from stock firmware. The tools works under Windows (I personally tested them on Win 7).
As an example we will use FXZ for Brazilian firmware RETBR_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-30.3_cid12_CFC.xml.zip - the only full firmware available at the moment.
If you unzip stock firmware you will get 5 files, which represents system partition: system.img_sparsechunk.0, system.img_sparsechunk.1, system.img_sparsechunk.2, system.img_sparsechunk.3 and system.img_sparsechunk.4.
There are two steps to be performed to get system file extracted.
Step 1 - it will convert 5 files (system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4) into temporary file system_motoX2.img:
1. Download Sparse-to-Img.zip and extract it.
Lets assume that it is extracted to C:\Sparse-to-Img. If not you have to modify ConvertMotoX2.bat file.
You have to edit the string set wf=C:\Sparse-to-Img\Cygwin\ according to path where you extracted archive.
2. Copy ConvertMotoX2.bat to the folder where stock firmware is unzipped (i.e. where system.img_sparsechunk.0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are located)
3. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where where stock firmware is unzipped
4. In CMD run ConvertMotoX2.bat. File system_motoX2.img will be created.
Step 2 - it will extract all files and folders from system_motoX2.img:
1. Download ImgExtractor.zip and extract it.
2. Create directory System in the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;
3. Copy ImgExtractor.exe into the folder where system_motoX2.img is located;
4. Run CMD and "cd" to the folder where system_motoX2.img is located
5. In CMD run the following: ImgExtractor system_motoX2.img System
After ImgExtractor finished you will have all system files and folders in System directory.
That's all
PS. ImgExtractor also can extract files from modem firmware (i.e. form NON-HLOS.bin)
So, this can be done to manualy re-lock bootloader, right? I quoted the steps needed to get .img that would be use to flash using fastboot and before fastboot lock, right? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll delete this post, so it doens't confuses anyone.

I am sure that flashing temporary file system_motoX2.img will not allow you to manually re-lock bootloader. And I do not recommend to flash it.
wow, Great!
