Hello I'm only asking this question because I'm having trouble getting my wireless network working in "Xubuntu" I was wondering if you could run a .iso image file the live cd image format that linux os is being distributed in as a .img file format would for example like what was recently done with ubuntu originally for the nexus one.

I downloaded a few apps and thought they were going to be in the .apk format but to my surprise they were in the .bin format. What the hell do I have to do to get these installed?

I've never seen that before - where did you get then from?

well the only time i've seen bin files are when I'm dling a pirated program like starcraft or rosetta stone or something. Then you have to mount the files to a virtual CD rom drive. essentially their an entire CD's image copied. Maybe for some reason the files your looking for are inside of the BIN ya could try magic disc or daemon tools to check inside perhaps.
turns out I was only having that problem when trying to d/l the files from my EVO. When I use my PC the same website downloads the files at .APK
Strange...
Is there an nandroid rom emulator for PC so I can view and mess with my backups without having to flash them? Or even just view them..

They aren't the kind of files that you can just double click.
The boot and recovery images can be split with splitboot or a hex editor for the mischevious. You can use unyaffs on the system image to extract it.

I haven't tried to extract userdata.img, but my guess that it's similar to the system.img, but with slightly different headers.
In short, I don't think there is an easy way to check what is on a backup, but that also depends on your idea of easy. As much as I like flashing my NAND, I'd rather unpack an image than flash a backup just see what the tooth fairy left inside.
Going forward, the OP could make a manifest of all the files and save that with the backup. this might do the trick?
Code:
ls -aR /* > manifest2010-12-31.txt
Thanks a bunch. There was once an emulator made that showcased android 1.5 as if you had a phone screen on your desktop. You could even install apks on it and some worked.
It would be neat if someone took it a few steps further to load even custom test roms so you try.. say a sense rom to see if you even liked sense before flashing your phone.
That's the official Android emulator, it's included in the SDK. You can try running your own images on it, but I could never get them to boot properly.
To open the .img files found in a nandroid backup you have to unyaffs them. It pretty much extracts the files out of the .img
I've attached a copy of the tool, just extract it, put the .img file in the unyaffs folder, and drag and drop the .img file onto unyaffs.exe.
Hope that helps
EDIT: Make sure it's a copy of the .img so you should NOT remove the file itself from the backup folder.
Hi, i remember dumping some apps located in /data .
In fact, it used to be pretty easy when i used the sd-ext mod, i just had to plug the phone in my ubuntu system and it recognised the /data and the /system folders.
Even using apps like OI files manager i cant see any apk (the /data folder is empty)
Is there any way to do that ? (i actually have to use titanium backup but the files are apk.gz type)
I'm using cyanogenmod 7
Thanks
If you've got the Android SDK on your PC then get Android Commander
Is there any way to do that under linux ?
bump! bump! bump!
Yes, still the android sdk.

I have a dell venue pro and have no way to view the file structure of it. I was wondering if someone with another phone can dumb a full file structure (mostly of \windows\) and upload it here for me. Thank you!
You should be able to find a dump on here from 7661. Check that out

Everytime I do the file structure does not stay intact...
Hello all,
I sold off my note 2 but i miss the ringtones that it had. I want to extract them from the stock ROM and use it in my current device.
I extracted the .tar.md5 file and a few .img files appeared. I tried to extract / view the system.img file but I couldn't. These programs couldn't read the .img files.
What should i do?
You need to convert system.img file to ext4
Then you can mount that on Linux.
Or
Simply request someone to port from device, that will be easy with root explorer.

Thank you for pointing me into the right direction.
I used this Wonderful tool and avoided opening the file in Linux
