Hi all. I recieved what I suppose is a ROM for an Android Head unit from a chinese manufacturer. He send me a .rar file with couple of files in it. I expected an .img file, but I got files .0 .1 .2 .3. Also a quite funny txt file came along with it telling the developers what to fix.
I´m not a programmer, so my dumb question is: is it a ROM? how can I convert those four files into something readable? Any hints greatly appreciated. Tried google, but nothing came up.

I am wishing to attempt a hspl on my T-Mob uk hd2, the procedeure requires me to copy the existing RUU file to my storage card in the eventuality that I need to restore it to it's original settings. Please explain where the hell I find this file?
What? I think your confused, check out my thread in my sig, use it to help you but at the start there are links to other useful threads on using it. Also I have a small glossary to help you.
the .exe file you downloaded is actually a zip file. so rename it .zip instead of .exe and now when you run it it will open to show you a list of files,one of which is ruu signed.nbh
oh and it isn't part of the flash.only if the flash goes wrong.
Thanks guys, I understand how to flash a rom but am unsure about backflashing my stock T-Mobile (UK) Rom is there one available?
There is deffinately a T Mo uk rom, ive seen it mentioned several times. Look hard in the Official Roms thread and you will find it.
I am posting here since I have not posted enough to do so in the original post

But would it be possible to create a Fake update.zip file, IF B&N is realy locking down the SD Boot option?
At the very least maybe there is a way to create an update.zip that install the needed files for ADB/ADB WiFi to work... Just a thought. I only dable a bit in coding myself or I would look into it, but this stuff is far beyond me.
Hello everybody... I was off for a few weeks and now when I'm back I suddenly felt like doing something new... and when i was looking into some folders that i had from my Android SDK i noticed something named system.img in my level 8 android platform... previously i was enthusiastic to install first google apps in virtual android in my windows then try to install a Custom ROM such az OxyGen or CM7.0.3.... so i guessed that system image must contain the files to do this... over a lot of search i found the tool to extract it.. I extracted it with UnYaffs... the i injected(!) the google apps APK from the latest zip (20110613) file... and something i wondered about is that you can extract from an Yaffs archive but you cannot create one in Windows.. SO I FIRED UP MY UBUNTU....(!!!) and created the image... then transferred it to windows made a backup of the original system.img and replaced mine... before that having all my virtual android machines deletd(I mean wiped from my system!!!)...As normal i created a AVD(Android Virtual Device) from my modified platform... everything went right and it created successfully but when I was starting my AVD everything suddenly changed into bad... It's stuck on the TEXT saying ANDROID... i mean the first text not the second graphic that is Android's name in iron like gray-blue color....
I don't know what has caused the problem.. anyone got his hand dirty on this system.img file?
I guess it might be from that it must be Yaffs1 but i created a Yaffs2 archive... didn't I??? but since I haven't got any Yaffs1 archive maker for ubuntu I can't test...
And I'm sure that the system.img is created fully and not partly... because I UnYaffs-ed it many times and the files do contain in it...

In the Sprint Official 2.2 RUU (PG06IMG.zip) one of the .img files is tp_SPY_SYN3KT0103.img. What is this file?
I have tried quite a few ways to extract it with no joy.
Also, there are two other .img files that begin tp, does this prefix have special meaning?

Yes this the wrong section to post in . That being said, what are you trying to accomplish?
I hope I have not offended the forum keepers, but I rarely post and the contents of a Factory RUU file certainly seem like dev stuff to me...
I'm not trying to accomplish anything, I am just curious as to what these tp img files contain - ecpecially when one of them has the word SPY in it.
I cannot seem to unpack or mount the img file, trying ext2, ext3, ext4, unyaffs, yaffsutils, yaffs2utils, & ext4utils - so I figured someone in this forum could just say what the img files are for, I assumed the knowledge was here.

I have a radio head with a mtk 8227l chipset. I have original firmware and have successfully flashed it. My issue is there system partition it's small and Google play keeps running out of space. It lists external as 12gb free. I have been able to modify the scatter file to try and make the system take more. I can see the effect of this as the external space is reduced by how much I increase system. However there must be something in the system.img file that sets the system partition size as it's still 1.6gb after flashing with edited scatter file.
Is there a way to extract this probably have to change the parameter setting it something and repack it for flashing?
So I've extracted the system.img, repacked as 5GB, changed the scatter to match. Flashed to head unit, but /internal is still 1.6gb. I'm obviosly missing something. Does anyone know MTK images and such that could point me in right direction?

Hey I know this post is super old but I’ve searched EVERYWHERE endlessly and there’s little to know info on this specific model. But I just had a couple questions
1) what model head unit do you have. Mine is the GA2186K
2) how did you flash it.
3) were you able to root
4) do you know of any custom roms that can be used with it.
Thanks in advanced. I’m desperate for some info on this thing lol. And I’d love to get some sort of custom software on here.
Thanks bro, Skye
