Hi!
I want to extract files from system.img, particularly logo.bin. how can i do this?
Thanks !
best way is to use linux and just mount it as a drive. You can use Ext2Fsd/osfmount in windows to view only. Ext2Fsd will let your windows computer recognize EXT partition types. OSF mount will let you mount the image file as RO.

Theres a good program called http://www.ext2fsd.com/ to view android partitions in windows.
that may be ok for viewing files but I wouldn't trust windows to write to an ext3 partition.
maybe I am over thinking it but windows is funny like that.

Sometimes I don't even trust windows to write a file to an ntfs partition

I run nandroid with a new partitioned SD-card.
I partitioned the SD-Card under Windows to 28GB FAT32 and 2 GB Ext-2
The backup process nevertheless says
"E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device"
any ideas?
It has to be EXT3. Not EXT2. I'd use the phone to create the partition then upgrade it to EXT3.
On a side note, I didn't know Windows could create an EXT partition as it's a Linux file system.

The same way that Linux supports Windows file systems like NTFS - additional drivers!

Excellent, thanks for that Dave. You never stop learning in here
Forgive my noobness but what advantage does having the ext3 partition have? Is it required?
Thanks

I use a driver tweak to make my SD reader a HDD.
Then I just setup my SD card with ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2010. It let'S you install a new HDD with various file formats
hi,
i was wondering if it was possible to browse an ext3/4 partition the same way as a normal partition, either through an app or through windows?
thanks
linux best bet
yeh, i know linux would do it, but was wondering if there was an android/win solution (much less hassle!)
You could always run a Linux livecd at boot: you won't have to install anything on your comp and you'll be able to browse the ext3/ext4 partition.
I use Ubuntu on a USB drive. Windows, as far as I know cannot even read the EXT3 partition, it has no idea it is there. Your best bet is to just download and set up Ubuntu on a pen drive and keep it to one side just for using G Partition on it.
At least the apps and dalvik cache (which is everything that uses ext as far as i know) can be found on /system/sd, either with root explorer or with a terminal emulator.
ok, thanks guys
You can browse from your android if your file manager has root privileges, look in /sd-ext/ or /system/SD/
From windows there are tons of programs that can browse ext filesystems, try Google, last time I tried one it couldn't mount the sdcard ext partition but worked fine with my ext hdd partition so you may have too look around for one that works with sdcards.
How do I remove a hidden partition that I created with ROM Manager
Thanks.
it depends what OS ur using, if ur in any Linux variant id use Gparted
if in MS windows i think u can do it by
click 'START'
then right mouse 'MY COMPUTER'
and left click on 'Manage'
then click 'Disk Management'
from there u might be able to see the Ext3 or Ext4 partition, to delete and resize the FAT partition.
If not just download a LiveCD eg Ubuntu and use Gparted off the LiveCD
Thank you for the reply, I sorted my problem and didn't need to delete the partition.
Much appreciated mate.
There are a few custom programs that i use that create directory's and save files to "mnt/extSdCard" and while every other device I have has that option my nexus 7 2013 is lacking (for obvious reasons)
(I don't mind what 4.4.4 ROM I use OEM or custom as I switch often)
Is there any way I can create that mount point and have it linked to an otg usb drive or even a directory on the internal memory?
Thanks for any info.
I find
USB Mount All
works best, one of the few that also recognise and mount the ext4 filesystem properly, unlike stickmount.
