@All,
My question is very simple I believe.
The latest RUU release for Sapphire/Magic contains after extraction 2 zip files as follows:
rom.zip
This contains the following files:
android-info.txt
boot.img
recovery.img
spalsh_HTC_Magig.nb0
system.img
userdata.img
rom1.zip
This contains the following files:
boot_special.img
hboot_7200A.nb0
radio.img
Is it possible somehow to combine the above 2 ROM files so that the device can be flashed with one single sappimg.zip file?
I tried combine all above files into one single zip archive, but flashing does not start. maybe I have overlooked something somewhere, or special attention have to be given to some config file or something have to be added maybe?
I do not want to flash via RUU package, only via card method. Any suggestions as to how the above can be done?
Regards

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to convert .zip files of ROMs/themes into system.img files so that they can be booted up via the android sdk emulator?
I've seen that it's possible to launch system.img files in the sdk emulator, but after searching for quite some time I wasn't able to pinpoint a method for creating system.img from update-cm-4.2.12.2-signed.zip (for example).
Thanks.

i made a post about those system.img files earlier here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609090
in theory it's possible using the mkfs.yaffs2 tool, but i'm not sure whether the emulator supports danger SPL roms, because the system image file size is limited in the emulator as well...

it's the mkfs.yaffs2 tool

Hi,
Thanks for the link, but I'm quite a newbie in these things, so could someone please walk me through process? I've downloaded the archive in the link.
How many times do I unzip it (I can unzip it up to three times and then I get 5 files numbered 1 through 5)? Where do I paste it? How do I use it? The explanation in the other thread was slightly too complicated for me sorry
Thanks

Anyone willing to help out a newbie?

I am looking to do the same thing
Get someone to Nandroid backup the ROM.
It creates a system.img, recovery.img, data.img, cache.img and boot.img.
Not the easiest method but it works

You won't be able to flash it even if you extract it. For rooted stock rom:

How to extract system.img, userdata.img
open your ruu.exe file and you can find a file named update.zip in your local temp directory before click the next button.

You should be able to extract the boot and system images from Google's factory image.

I wasn't aware that the kitchen worked with the Nexus 4 as its still listed as one of the unsupported devices but the thread hasn't been updated since October of last year so maybe that changed.
this is copied from dsixda's kitchen thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 post #3):
How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
(The instructions below are for HTC devices in general. For other devices, please visit the appropriate thread.)
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices.
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder. If the ROM also includes a lib.img (found in some newer HTC ROMs), then copy that as well!
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder
Hm, i see. But the problem with the dev links for Google is that it's 4.2.2 and not 4.2.1... I would like to stay to an older version for the moment, with those problems with bootloaders, kernels etc... I will try with system and boot img, thanks !
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app
Well, i tried to use the tutorial about shipped rom, but my system.img and boot.img files aren't recognized by the kitchen... So i don't know how to do Halp ?
In this thread you have posted link to factory image with android 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Great !! Thanks a lot eskeyy !
Hey all, I've looked all over an can't find the answer to this... I have a NAND backup I made using TWRP, however, I had the problem many have had with getting errors when trying to restore it. So I thought I'd try a different way by creating a TWRP flashable file from the NAND files. I have taken the files from the backup and extracted them using CYGWIN. I read a thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746044
But I'm stuck on a couple of things... First, the part about using the META-INF folder from another ROM... I've checked the files in in the META-INF folder and notice that the updater-script is what loads the files and directories. But none of the META-INF files I have found matches my backup files.
The files I want to flash are the complete system folder, complete data folder and the boot.img file. Is it possibly to flash these with TWRP without the META-INF folder/files? If I have to use the META-INF how do I make sure all the files and folders are flashed?
Would it be better to create an ODIN flashable file and just use Odin to do the flash? If so should I put the system and data folders into one file and then use the boot.img (or would I put the boot.img finle into a tar) in the Bootloader spot in Odin?
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for an original update.zip containing a system.img, i think i found a possible way to downgrade the S10+ (G-975U1), if this works it's also possible on other android devices.
aren't the *.zip.enc4 files - downloaded from samloader - OTA flashable zips?
