So with the introduction of the nvflash it looks like we now need to use a .tar.bz2 file which contains the ROM in 3 files...
is there anyways to convert an existing ROM that is in a .zip file type to the .tar.bz2 type? Say.. Prime!1.4 US version for example..
i guess it would just speed up the process if we can convert the ROM we want by ourselves...
hopefully that makes sense, i was just thinking aloud.
You dont need to flash that file. Extract the contents of that package to the nvflash folder and run the download.bat file.

ok sorry.. flash was the wrong word.. but the contents of a .zip are not the same as the contents of the ROM provided in the nvflash instructions.. just wondering how to get a .zip ROM to become the necessary files to use in nvflash
I don't think it has to be .tar.bz2.. you're just moving the files from that extraction to the root folder of /nvflash anyway.
It just needs to be three .imgs

your right.. and i know i can use like imgburn to make those imgs.. but what files to put in each of the 3 is the question i guess
Just extract the 3 files in the tarball(.tar.bz2) into the nvflash directory. Thats it. No modding the .img files.

I think the OP wants to make his own .imgs for his own ROMs.
Oh i think the android sdk provides those tools.

this is correct... say.. for example sake.. i want to take a Prime!1.4 US version (since the WW version is the only .tar.bz2 available now) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052380 and make it into 3 imgs for use in nvflash to then get a rooted Prime1.4 US version when its all set and done..
which files from the .zip would go into which imgs?
to be honest i dont even know if it could even be done...or if thats the way it is even done.. its all just a thought.
PS sorry for all the confusion.

Well I found out that the .tar.bz2 was WW not too long ago. As somebody mentioned, you can boot into clockwork and wipe (not sure if you have to but i did it anyway) and flash the US version right over. The OP of the NVFlash thread said that roach will come out with a 1.5 very soon. So right there might be your answer.. just wait patiently! Or if it bothers you, you can just download the US and flash it over.
I flashed the US version right over the WW version and i have no problems.

Same. Just wait for the 1.5, it should be out very soon.
well flashing US over WW seems easy enough.. or waiting.. but thats harder to do haha
thanks for the advice!
i guess i was just more curious than anything

Anyone else notice that the img files in AP are different than previous firmwares in G935FXXU1APDU?
Trying to extract system.img and cant, normally can use newimg2ext2.exe (SVAImgUnpack) but it doesnt seem to work on this build...
Anyone managed to extract system from this build? Or if not can someone share system dump from this build?
Anyone?

Hi guys,
Since I am on a distant island, I cannot download the whole rom to restore the original boot.img/kernel to the finally do the official pixel update.
I attached a screenshot with the exact version. Looking back it wasn't the best idea to replace kernel while driving away from civilization.
Thanks in advance
Please? Upload the small boot.img for me?

Hi, Can you share the path/location for boot.img? I can try to extract it. I am using non rooted Pixel 4 at&t version if that makes any difference.

Sure, you download QD1A.190821.014 for pixel 4 (flame) ... It's about 2.5gb
You download from here https://developers.google.com/android/images
You extract the zip. Inside are a few other zips. You unpack boot.img from the biggest zip. You upload the boot.img i.e. on Google drive for me to download.
I would be amazed if you did this. I would resorte original kernel and then can do the update.
Cheers mate

Thank you so much, mate. Trying to flash now. If you don't hear from me soon, something went wrong
The kernel worked. Unfortunately I still cannot update my system. No idea why.

Thank you Khalid!
Could you however simply share a .img file? I don't know what to do with a .rar file?
Thanks!

It's better to boot it first, there is no risk that way.
Plus the "guide" by kalid is literally a copy of mine. It was closed for good reason
The reason why it's "complicated" is due to the fact that not only is it good practice to obtain your own boot.img it means the failure rate plummets.
Plus each step and alternative is explained and a step by step procedure documented.
Could I have shortened it? Sure.

Why? Am I incorrect. How would you like to spend a tonne of time on a guide so it could be copied?
Pffft. Get a grip.
First I didn't copy your guide and I didn't want to. I just provided the boot img someone asked for. Also people do copy guides that's what they do if they don't have any knowledge and they still want to look techy so don't worry keep up with the good work and stay +ve.

1st: i wasn't referring to you, so calm yourself.
2nd: I'm all for knowledge but not for copying formats and posting right next to the same guide that's just low.
And that's the last I'll say on the matter
