dupe post.....

i have problems with upload on server but new version can handle tegrak / chainfire..

Hi, thanks for your job
for my information, what is the purpose of a zImage splitter ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

ok what is this thing?

Very helpful for DEVs in breaking ROMs down, kinda like "unzipping".

Thanks,
working on stock zImage KF2. (just to try it )
Is it possible to do the reverse process (on windows ) ?
I believe it's a bit more complicated (or impossible ?)
Noob question : Why decompiling a kernel when sources are free ?

i tried it but after extracting using the tool i only get empty folders ... am i doing it wrongly?

For the moment, it's working on stock zImage only

ok. folks! new version is up.. still in alpha but now supports all three formats
stock, tegrak, and chainfire are now supported.
WARNING: i have issuses with cygwin so there is special exe file run_cpio.exe in application folder which you can run manualy to unpack chainfire ramdisk.
enjoy!

i am trying to extract the stock XXKF2 kernel

1. extract the .tar file
2. extract ur tool
3. copy the zImage to to ur tool folder
4. use cmd and use
Code:
asmzis zImage
all the zImage is extracted but inside all the folders are empty

by agrument is see you are using old version...
today i have upload new version. which can handle all three formats..
for now it is using additional argument..
so to unpack stock zImage command goes
asmzis zImage stock
so to unpack chainfire zImage command goes
asmzis zImage chainfire
so to unpack tegrak zImage command goes
asmzis zImage tegrak
old version could unpack only stock.
p.s next version will be back to old asmzip zimage becouse i will add detection for types..
plus fix for zimages w/o ramdisk.

Not to complain, but what could possibly be the use of dumping my kernels, aside from ripping my hard work off ? I mean, they are just the stock kernels + my modifications.

got error when extracting the ram disk ... 7z exe come out with error
i extract only stock zImage

Well if they are stock kernels and somebody wanted to test cf-root with for example tegrak kernel? Shouldn't that be allowed to him / her? If not say a word and i will remove application from server. Sorry if i offended you in any way. I just thought that this appliction could be usefull.

damn server.. now patched version should be uploaded...

Thanks, will wait for the recompiling solution

The zimage is in the boot.img along with the ramdisk. If this doesn't lead you to anything let me know. Ill go into more detail. This tool "mkbootimg" is what you are looking for.

is it the boot.img-kernel do i need to rename to zimage?
or is it in the boot.img-ramdisk??

Your initial post asked how to extract the zImage. I showed you how to do that and change the name in the shell. What are you asking now? If its how to create a zip google "any kernel updater"
its the same post... i asked how you extract the zimge cuz i didnt see it in the unpacked boot.img
sorry i guess i should have said its unpacked but dont see anything called zimage...
but in a later post i asked if the boot.img-kernel i saw just needed to be renamed to zimage..

Yes I attached the entire shell commands to get there. As well as the split_boot python script. Alls you have to do is run that script and rename to zImage and pull any modules /system/lib/modules/
so i have to run script its just cant be renamed .. i was under the impression it could just be re-named ...
sorry for any misunderstanding

Yes just rename the file if you used the "split" script.
ok heres a another dumb question if i used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to unpack the boot is that the same as using the split script ?

Hello Guys!
This is my Custom ROM for the Galaxy Tab!
Its based on the european Firmware JME but i did the following changes:
- System and Framework completely deodexed
- System and Framework completely zipaligned
- Added Root and BusyBox
- LauncherPro as default Launcher
- build.prop Tweaks
- App Widget Picker
- Removed Maps and gMail (u can reinstall from market) more space on /system for the extra Apps
Thanks to this, you have now much more RAM available, and it runs pretty fast!
u can find the update in the attached files section
UPDATES:
1.1 - CAMERA FINALLY FIXED
1.0.1 - fixed missing camera app
1.0 - Release
Coming in further Releases (my plan ) when my bootloader gets unlocked:
- overclocking
- kernel optimisations
- custom theme
- EXT4
- Gingerbread???
apply the update by putting the files in the folder "updateX.X" (X.X stands for the version number and u need to create it) and then run the script via terminal emulator or adb shell (sh /sdcard/update/xxx_update.sh) xxx is replaced by version or update name
Currently known Bugs:
- camera app is missing but u can use camera apps from android market - fixed in newest release
THIS DOESN'T CONTAIN THE SIGNED BOOTLOADERS, just like Rotohammer's releases
it only contains a signed zImage but, as u know, u can revert this
Install with Heimdall or Odin, recommended from a JMx Firmware (JJx and JKx havnt been tested yet but u can try)
I'll update this rom, whenever there are bugs, stability issues and wishes from you!
|Download (Heimdall)|
Great. Downloading now. Will flash tomorrow.
Sounds great. But why add the signed zimage at all. Is there a way to load this without the zimage?
Can you install it with ODIN ?
Do you need a full wipe ?

i dont know exactly, but i think u need the newer kernel for JMx Releases! But u can try to flash only the factoryfs.rfs file inside the 7z archive, but i dont guarantee that it will work!
@ guy above me
i can make an odin package tomorrow, if u want so!

+1 for Odin install.
+1 for Odin version , can you post some screen or a video to see your rom . Differences from Roto- JME? Works on generic EURO tab? Thank you

Heh. Keep the updates flowing through Twitter on how you're finding it...

Just flashed and confirmed, missing camera app. And trying to select the camera in the Gallery app forces closes
great. heimdall is up. i picked the zimage but for what button / option do i select for the .rfs file?
in other words, is this right?
[edit] never-mind. figured it out by following steps on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
problem now is there isnt any arabic support in this rom. may hold back on flashing it.
Sod Odin and Haimdall. Any chance of an update.zip for flashing in recovery, given that we now have a usable, stable recovery (chainfire's).

step 4:
Go to system.sin file from where u had extracted and open file
step 5:
Click dump data option
Wait for it to finish the process

step 10:
While u are in unyaffs folder press shift + right mouse button then only u will get "open command window here option", click that.... Other wise u can go to this folder using usual command method
step 11:
U will get command window inside unyaffs folder
step 12:
U should type inside the command window "unyaffs.exe system.yaffs2" (app name)(space)(name of the file u need to extract, if u need to extract kernel use tht file name here) and then press enter
step 13:
Wait for some time " until u see end of image " and u can see the extracted folders appearing in the unyaffs folder
through this method u can get any .sin file inside ur ftf

I think there is no way. You can mount the ext4 file by

sorry to give the information tht use only flash tool version 0.9.0.0 .. latest version might not help u to extract .sin files and u il get an error
Instead of steps 10 - 13 you should just be able to drag the system.yaffs2 file onto the unyaffs.exe and it should automatically run it with the file as a parameter.

I introduced a bug in 0.9.1 when I reworked sin extraction to extract ext4 images correctly. It broke yaffs2 extraction.
0.9.6 corrects this bug. Now you can extract any system.sin (yaffs2 or ext4 images)
FT does not convert from a filesystem type to another
for yaffs2 images, use unyaffs
for ext4 images, use mount -o loop /path/to/image.ext4 /path/to/mountpoint
Under windows, you can use Diskinternals Linux reader or Yaffey which are both freeware
Nice TUT.. But doesnt work with large files i guess i have a 900MB system.sin file which is not getting selected in SIN Editor option...
Anyway you can help me?

[TOT] LGE980 (ATT) Value Pack firmware

Howdy everyone!
Here's the latest firmware straight from LGE...
http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed...IN_LGE980AT-01-V10k-310-410-JUN-07-2013-0.zip
Code:
$ md5sum BIN_LGE980AT-01-V10k-310-410-JUN-07-2013-0.zip
2044d4a4c3159cd0537caefdf1f6ee13 BIN_LGE980AT-01-V10k-310-410-JUN-07-2013-0.zip
It would seem that the zip file doesn't extract with some extractors. I'll re-zip it again here shortly and release a 'fixed' copy.
I have yet to test this file yet, so flash at your own risk!
It does appear that the bootloader is indeed different between the old and new firmware versions, however the difference is just the signature. The actual content of the bootloader's code sections has not changed.
There does indeed appear to be a different (newer?) kernel in the boot.img that's included:
Per the img file header:
Code:
NEW: 0x0066b5c0
OLD: 0x0066a058
Just a heads up in case anyone's wondering.
Also, turning this into a TWRP flashable image is going to be.. interesting.
do i use the same .dll as the old tot

I managed to extract the system.img content using BinExtractor and some extra handling to put the different ??-system.img pieces back together into a 2.5GB partition.

I managed to extract the system.img content using BinExtractor and some extra handling to put the different ??-system.img pieces back together into a 2.5GB partition.

Yeah, I catted them all together with:
Code:
cat *-system.img > system.img
truncate -s +500MB system.img
mount -o loop system.img /mnt/phonesystem
However, strangely enough there's nothing in /bin or /etc ... and I get lots of EXT4 errors in my kernel dmesg.
I believe it's possible that the LGBinExtractor doesn't like this TOT.. I'll extract it manually later today.
I've only compared the bootloader (ABOOT) to make sure nothing has changed, but I've yet to do that for rpm, tz, modem, and the SBL stack.
Once I've figured out what has changed (and what we should change) I'll put it all into an update.zip that we can flash from recovery.

Hey thecubed I know your a busy man but thought I'd ask. Is it best to wait for your update zip or can we still flash the TOT in OP and root still should still apply I'm hoping?

I'm fairly certain you can flash this TOT with LGFlash and still root... if it doesn't work, just grab the other TOT file and revert
I honestly didnt see enough features to update... anytine you update u take a risk of not being able to root or if they get smart and patch loki

I took the OTA and rooted without issues.
I made a mirror to this file on my server, Download Link:
http://storagecow.tk/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Value+Pack+Firmware/ Server in USA (slower but cheaper)
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/ATT+Value+Pack+Firmware/ Server In Canada (Fastest)
Here is a screenshot of the speed from the server I downloaded it from :/ and I have a GB connection.

have flashed the update with lg flashtool.....everything went well except you will lose all date...so make a back-up wich i"ve done before......have rooted,went well too...
So once you finish people like me that are having a hard time with making the update cause im rooted. And haven't been able to use the flashtool due to the dam keys & unknown knowledge teritorry for it.
I'll be able to just put it on my external sd and use clockwork? And flash it.
