If your PC using linux system,I recommend you to use Virtual Box.
If U using windows system,you must configuration Java environment first,and then install a software who name is Cygwin,You can use it to extract the system.img and boot.img.

The attached should be all you need. split_updata.pl will extract the system image which you can then mount directly. splitfile.c will extract the mbn files and boot.img. Use abootimg to extract the kernel and initrd and then cpio to get the root fs from the initrd. Obviously you will want to use a linux box for this.

Thanks mate, really nice instructions!
First of all: Tool to be used in this guide was developed by user And_pda from Russian 4pda.ru forum. So all credits must go to And_pda
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)
This is the latest firmware (T700XXU1ANF7) as of June 29, 2014 for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (Wifi) model (SM-T700).
"No-Wipe" means your app data and storage will all stay 100% in tact. Only system mods, custom kernels, and root will be removed as you are flashing stock firmware.
Please feel free to use as you see fit.

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.

Maybe you could repack it with root files to get root. There is a how to video on you tube. I would do it, but my linux machine is down.

Please don't coming from the one that said root is okay from the note 10.1 2014 edition. Root and profit. Sound familiar. You mean root and brick.

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:

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.

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.
