You can get it from the stock deodex rom and push it to /system/app, I'm about to do that once I get home from work, so I can confirm.. I got the ezpdf from market but I think quick office seems better
Edit: I can confirm that it works by just extracting the Quickoffice.apk in stock deodex rom and push it back to cm, its usable and will also appear in the app drawer now

Same here. I have CM6.1.1 and I can see Quickoffice in Titanium but it won't let me restore it.
Download Stock Deodex Rom v1.1 in the Development forums.. look through it, it might be towards the end or so..
You can use 7zip to extract files or windows extract .. so if you haven't gotten it, download it at download.com and install it.
Open the v1.1.zip rom, just double click on it, go to SYSTEM folder then APPS folder and search for Quickoffice.apk at the bottom and just drag it out to the desktop.
Now, either copy it through Terminal Emulator by just putting it to the root of sdcard and type
su
cp /sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app
Or you can use adb, and I bet root explorer aswell as its pretty much all the same concept..

Before you do the "cp /sdc...." command, you have to mount system using this command: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
Please correct me if it's wrong, I just copied it from another thread.
Yea you do, but sometimes you don't need to.. well, some that I notice or maybe its because I'm always switching roms and forget which ones which
A shorter one would be
mount -o remount rw /system

This also works and is pretty easy

If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom you could also restore it and extract from there. Otherwise just flash the stock rom like noodles said and extract from there

You don't have to flash the stock rom, just download it to the computer and extract it there

My bad. Thanks!

If you are running CM6.1.1 you can just type this from the tools directory of your androidsdk install in the windows command prompt.
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb push Quickoffice.apk sdcard/"
then
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb remount"
that will remount the system partition. Then you can type this
"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb shell"
then you will see this
"#"
then you can type
"# cp sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app"

...edited...found answer/solution
First you must to install yaffs!!!
Download attached archive and unpack it to /usr/sbin/ folder with your File Manager or Terminal window. I preffered File Manager, it is simpliest way.
After copyed mkfs.yaffs2 and unyaffs, you must to change permissions on these two files.
Open Terminal if you don`t previously opened and write...
[email protected]_name:~$ sudo nautilus
Nautilus is File Explorer on Ubuntu Linux. On other Linux distribution you may have other File Explorer. Anyway... open it with sudo command.
Enter your root password and navigate to /usr/sbin folder.
Find these two files mkfs.yaffs2 and unyaffs.
Right click mouse on it then click to see "Properties".
In properties tab you will see "Permissions" tab.
Click on it and set "read and write" option for all users and group in this tab then close window and Terminal.
You can change permission in the Terminal window with this command if you want...
[email protected]_name:~$ sudo chmod 667 /usr/sbin/mkfs.yaffs2
[email protected]_name:~$ sudo chmod 667 /usr/sbin/unyaffs
This is it for install mkfs.yaffs2 and unyaffs.
After that, create new folders on your desktop named as "newrom".
Copy system.img from ROM instalation folder to newrom folder and run unyaffs.
Open terminal and type... Only type BOLD text.
[email protected]_name:~$ cd /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop/newrom$ unyaffs /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom/system.img
Wait unyaffs to uncompress all files and folders from system.img
When unyaffs has been completed uncompress procedure, you will see something like that...
end of image
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop/newrom$
Close terminal window if you want to close.
Open folder newrom and delete system.img file. Folder "newrom" contains everything from your system.img file. You may to change, delete or something else to create your new Android build. Yes you may to be ROM cookers.
After your intervention on files and many other stuff in your "new rom", you will be prepare to create your new "system.img" file.
This process must to be in other folder with diference name. Not to be in same folder where is your previous uncopressed folders and files. In my case this folder is "newrom".
Folder for new "system.img is my Desktop.
Ok, let see what we must to do... In case when you previous closed Terminal window, you must be placed on Desktop uses CD command in Terminal.
[email protected]_name:~$ cd Desktop
You must see this...
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop$
Enter this...
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop$ mkfs.yaffs2 newrom/ system.img
And you must see this...
mkfs.yaffs2: Android YAFFS2 Tool,Build by PowerGUI
at http://www.openhandsetalliance.org.cn
Building...
Build Ok.
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop$
After that you will see new system.img on your Desktop.
For boot.img file, procedure is same except name of *.img file.
That`s it. I hope that is help.
Thanks to everyone who helped me to write this guide.
Enjoy.
FileFixer.
so much thanks. i'll have a try~
Ignore this
I have extracted the files in to the directories as suggested but when I run the command to extract the system.img I get access is denied. I have tried this as my standard user account and logged on as root any ideas?
Edit: modified the permissions on the two files I dumped in to sbin and resolved the issue!
Yes... If you don`t permission you can login as root and change rigts on this two files.
In my case i just copy these two files in /usr/sbin folder and everything work fine.
This is, maybe i think,for per user mod.
I would be to edit thread for this problem...
Works very well very nice thread man. I was able to fully extract the img file from a gingerbread build and play arround with it and rebuild it cheers!
Pictures or video's?
You will be free to create them. I have no much time for this. if you try my procedure step by step, you can learn something...
@FileFixer
Maybe you could also post a way for us to edit the initrd.gz files in the rom builds, so we can make some changes that are necessary for SD builds to work with MAGLDR "AD SD" option ourselves?
Thanks, Santroph.
Unpack initrd.gz on your desktop and open cpio archive. Inside is a few scripts and few elf files.
I am not developer but i will trying to learn more about this.
Pretty useful tutorial i will try that soon.

When I use the command unyaffs /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom/system.img I get an error open image file failed.
Why is this not working for me?
...
Never mind, it worked!
Very useful topic!
Yo MUST be placed in to your "newrom" folder before start unyaffs command.
[email protected]_name:~$ cd /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom
then type this...
[email protected]_name:~/Desktop/newrom$ unyaffs /home/your_name/Desktop/newrom/system.img
Only type BOLD text.
Never mind, it worked for you!
After repack - no root
I did unpack and repack system.img according this guide (without any changes - only for testing). After flash the ROM works fine, but is not rooted. Original ROM is rooted.
Why? I didn't make any changes in unpacked system.img.
Can anyone help me with this, please?
Thanks.
I think that you must set permissions to all before pack img file.

Hi,
Here's a quick howto
* mkdir initrd-temp
* cp initrd.gz initrd-temp
* cd initrd-temp
* gunzip initrd.gz -c | cpio --extract --make-directories
* rm initrd.gz
* Make your changes
* find .|cpio -H newc -o|gzip -9 -c - > ../initrd.gz
I hope that helps
Hey,
thanks for this useful thread!
I have problems in this whole process of booting a custom rom ( in my case Miui) in the Emulator . I have compiled the whole rom on a Linux VM with your Guide and pushed it in a Windows system into android-9/images/system.img but it won't boot I don't know what I am doing wrong. My system.img is 2 GB big I think this is not normal. if i am replacing the system.img with the original out of the emulator, it is booting. I just want to boot the Miui rom to port some features to Cyanogenmod... Thanks in advance. I have a HTC Legend btw .
Is there a Mac equivalent to FlashTool?
I also have the same question.
Hi there mmzubair!
In the end the best solution I found was just to install windows XP with bootcamp! Or if your Macs newer than mine (using a 4 year old Mac Mini) you could install XP using parallels so you don't have to rebooting every time you want to flash your phone!

I believe you can't because wine can't install driver software.
flashtool linux
the flashtool site explains a method of installing it on linux based systems, but it all sounds gibberish to me (because im a noob) and i cannot understand it, has anybody done this? please explain in pure english if possible. thank you.
Flashtool on Mac instructions
!! UPDATE, ALL
There is a flashtool for mac on androxyde's github.
Basically...
You need (in this order):
1/ Xcode, Download and install it from App store/your mac's supplied DVD/Apple developer website
> If using version 3 and earlier, make sure the "UNIX Development", "System Tools", "Command Line Tools", or "Command Line Support" is selected during the installation process,
> If using version 3 and earlier, Apple's Command Line Developer Tools are found at the Apple Developer Connection site
2/ MacPorts, See section 2 on http://www.macports.org/install.php.
Then:
3/ Download and unzip flashtool from androxyde's github
More prep work for the USB stuff:
4/ Open Terminal and type/run code:
Code:
ls -la /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib
If "no file or directory" found then run code:
Code:
sudo port install libusb
Now, to run Flashtool (ASSUMING YOU DID NOT RENAME THE FLASHTOOL FOLDER AND PROGRAM NAME SINCE UNZIP!):
5/ Open Terminal and type/run code:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; */Flashtool/FlashTool;
or
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; ~/Downloads/Flashtool/FlashTool;
Alternatively:
> Open up the "Flashtool" Unix Executable File in TextEdit
> Copy and paste
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib
the the line directly underneath export OS=$(uname -s)
> Save it, and from now on, double click the FlashTool executable file to open flashtool
6/ Flashtool window should pop up and a smile appears on your face
Maintenance
7/ To update MacPorts and installed ports, open terminal and run:
Code:
sudo port -v selfupdate; sudo port -v upgrade outdated;

Now run Flashtool:
7/ Open the Flashtool folder which you unzipped in 3/
8/ Double click on "Flashtool" (Unix Executable File)
Hopefully that helps, haven't tried it out personally because I'm too lazy for 1/ and 2/ but reply/thanks if it works out fine!

That's right there is a FlashTool Mac Edition check it out: http://androxyde.github.com/
Thanks for the post. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was the key for me. With the 2 mods for steps 6 & 8 in bold, these directions worked on my MacBook Air. FlashTool now comes up and runs!

6/ Last line of code to run in Terminal for prep:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib
Becomes:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib
Now run Flashtool:
7/ Open the Flashtool folder which you unzipped in 3/
8/ Double click on "Flashtool" (Unix Executable File)
Becomes:
go to your FlashTool folder
Code:
cd ../FlashTool
execute the FlashTool:

i have the same problem can someone help me?
currently trying to diagnose it, I got the same problem too xD
The problem is that instead of */Flashtool/Flashtool you should replace before * with the the path from root to the file.
On my system this was:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; /Users/<username>/Downloads/Flashtool/FlashTool;
Was getting same error and then it loaded
edit--
In fact, just open FlashTool in text wrangler or another editor and paste this in:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib
after line:
export OS=$(uname -s)
save that and it should work. I did this, then I got an app got Platypus and wrapped the whole thing into a .app file. I'd upload it but it is 80 megs and I have a quarter meg upload rate
You could probably put that jar on the same path as the other files and it would find it, and save others going through the other steps but I'm not sure. I've not had time to try.

Are you talking about ADB and FlashTool for mac?
Or like the actual rooting stuff like Superuser.apk and BusyBox (root_tools.rar in the attached files)?

What software version are you currently using, is it one that can actually be downgraded at this time?
If GingerBreak is transfered try running it.
adb shell

what happens then?

also re-download the downgrade tools. If you running windows 7 make sure you dont extract them directly to the c drive. first extract to some d drive or so and then copy paste to c drive or directly given the d drive path in the cmd.
Also make sure you are logged in as admin in the system. and run the cmd after right clicking and selecting run as administrator .
and also you are deleting the older PD98IMG zip file and doing all the cmd stuff after downloading the stock PD98IMG zip file and putting it in the sd card.
Make sure you check the md5sum of the file you downloaded so that its integrity is intact.
See if it works after all this. Do post your results.
All the best
Cheers!

Hi thanks for the help, when i go to extract the downgrade folder into my D drive i get the following message:
"You need permission from the computers administrator to make changes to this file"
and underneath that it has displays the GingerBreak file and its details. The downgrade folder appears in the D drive but without the GingerBreak, misc version or psneuter file.
Your help is very much appreciated!

Start at step 2.
bump - still need help on downgrading!
Hey guys this is a noob-friendly tutorial on how to deodex stock 4.3 Firmware on a locked bootloader. This tutorial is for windows only, im sorry, that's what i have.
Requirements:
1. A fully rooted xperia M.
2. Busybox installed
3. Winrar
4. A brain
5. Time and patience.
BEFORE WE START, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED BUSYBOX:
1. Go to playstore.
2. Search busybox
3. Download the one by stericsson, not busybox x, not anyother busybox. If you are using busybox x or something else. This app will replace the one you downloaded so do it anyway.
4. Open the app
5. Click normal install
6. After installation, reboot.
PART 1:
Here i will show you how to setup adb as a variable. This is NOT optional.
1. Go to this website: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Scroll down
3. Click download for other platforms.
4. Go to the sdk tools only list and download the zip for windows 32&64 bit. NOT THE EXE, THE ZIP.
5. After downloading is finished, right click on the file and click "extract files..."
6. Click the "C:\" directory and the extract.
6.1. Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?d5wj9bslikmf53d
6.2. Extract it into the root of the android-sdk-windows folder, in the "C:\" directory.
7. After thats done, Right click on "Computer" ("my computer" for windows xp)
8. Click "properties"
9. Click on the advanced tab
10. Click environment variables
11. double click on the text entry named "Path" in the lower list box
12. At the end of it, add: ";C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" (without quotation marks)
13. Click on OK to exit out of the dialog
14. then OK again to get out of My computer's properties
15. Reboot computer.
PART 2:
Here i will show you how to deodex your firmware.
16. For both single sim download this: http://d-h.st/VWr
For C2004 download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/90qbypc36kde8y9/deodex_c2004_dual.zip
For c2005 download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mkzfnt05vhwjcta/deodex_c2005__Latest.zip
17. Extract to anywhere, the file for you from the above links.
18. In the extracted folder open system
19. Take both app and framework folders and paste them onto your desktop.
20. Rename the app folder to done_app
21. Rename the framework folder to done_framework.
22. Connect your phone to computer via usb
23. Copy the done_app and done_framework folders to the root of your external sd card. So these files can be found at /ext_card/done_app and /ext_card/done_framework.
24. disconnect phone
25. On phone, go to settings
26. Click developer options
27. Enable usb debugging
28. Click revoke usb debugging authorisation, then ok
29. Connect phone to pc again
30. On pc, Click start
31. Click run
32. Type cmd in the box, then ok
33. A command prompt window should open up.
34. Type adb shell, and hit enter. If it says that your phone is unauthorised, then check your phone, grant the computer permissions to use adb.
35. Type adb shell and hit enter again if you got the unauthorised error. This should start daemon. If you didn't get the unauthorised error, dont type it again.
36. Now type these commands line by line, hitting enter as you type each line, NOT all of them at the one go. Copy and paste would be better than typing them.
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
cp /ext_card/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /ext_card/done_framework/* /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
39. When you're phone reboots itself, you will have a fully deodexed
Stock firmware.
TROUBLESHOOTING (MUST READ THIS!!!!) :
1. If you got an error like system is busy when typing in the second last command, wait a minute then retype it. If it happens again after you retype it then run the STOP command again and retry.
2. If settings app force closes after you deodex, download this on your phone: http://www.mediafire.com/?ygyuln0heu25qb9. Extract it using a file manager. In the extracted folder, open system then app then move all three files there to /system/app overwriting the old settings app. Set all three files' permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot. It should now work fine.
3. If any other of your apps give a force close, then uninstall and reinstall them. This is very unlikely though, none of your apps should give a force close error.

Bro, i gave you this guide step by step, you don't need to figure anything out yourself. It's all done for you. It works, trust me, i used that exact procedure on my permanently locked bootloader and ut worked. Same for other people

Thanks for this thread it's very helpfull but It's not so noob friendly. ADB won't work with your setup guide because adb.exe is placed in different location. In my case proper location is: C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools but it's sdk version/os type related.

You downloaded the wrong package
Is you read it properly, you would have realised that this is what i wanted you to download it from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download. Scroll down. Click download for other platforms. Scroll down to sdk tools only. Click the first windows zip package. It says all of that in the guide

When i download the zip you said to download, there is no adb in folder \tools, just a txt file saying that adb has been moved to an other directory. Do you have a direct link where i could download the right zip ?
PS : Sorry for my bad english

This is the .zip what you are told to download. I've just had a look in my SDK folder and it is the same, have you got a platform-tools folder?
No, no platform-tools folder

Download the .zip I'm attaching to this post and then extract it in the root of the SDK folder. So you can choose between going to platform-tools and tools. Once you have done that edit the path so instead of it finishing with /tools it will finish with /platform-tools.
That worked ! Thanks for your help

I did everything you say but I'm not getting through the point 30!
I downloaded the SDK Tools Only for other platforms and platform-tools. Unzipped the sdk and moved the "android-sdk-windows" folder to the root of pc c: \.
After that unzipped platform-tools folder and moved into android-sdk-windows.
After that I went to "environment variables" and added the "Path" in the lower box the list you have indicated (C: \ android-sdk-windows \ platform-tools).
did the remaining steps in sony M but when I get to step 30 nothing appears on the pc!
