dd misses the out of band (OOB) aka spare data so it doesn't produce a proper YAFFS2 image.

As I understand it, Nandroid backups are produced using the mkyaffsimage command line tool so you should be able to create your own image on your device with that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Hello, I finally managed to make a system.img that i can open with you're tool. I happy that i now know for sure that i have a proper system.img backup.

I tell you how i made the image for my ARM tablet. Maybe you can ad it to the post ore some thing helping others making a good image.

I did download a mkfs.yaffs2.arm. I did coppy it from pc to sdcard. From there i used a file menager to coppy mkfs.yaffs2.arm to the data folder. Than i run a terminal on my tablet.

In terminal i typed:

cd data

./mkfs.yaffs2.arm /system /system.img

This will dump a system.img in the root (/system.img)

Windows GUI is great!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Apache Thunder:
This looks promising. I'll give this one a shot.

As far as suggestions go for next version, I would like to see support for importing nandroid backups and exporting them as IMGs. (example, those tar files that CWM makes when it makes a backup. It saves recovery, boot, and radio as IMG files, but for data and system it does not. It save those as tar files) It's mostly symbolic links and permissions that I want correctly preserved.

I'm trying to convert a post data wipe nandroid backup to a IMG file so I can use it with Android Kitchen. The main reason for this is that my phone has a shipped rom available, but it does NOT have one that has the latest OTA update integrated that was released this month.

My plan is to use my post OTA update system (with root) as a IMG file to be flashed via hboot for an alternative root method that doesn't involve cwm. Since the particular forum I visit actively enforces the GPL license, thus the CWM port I found can't be posted publicly there (since the source code to that port is not yet available). Thus alternative means of helping users root their phone is needed. :D

Plus my update can be paired with the latest boot.img file so that users can "flash" the OTA update without worring about OTA updates failing to update the kernel due to the boot loader issue/S-On issue.

EDIT: I didn't think to just extract the tar file directly in Ubontu into the extracted working folder for the current rom project in Android Kitchen. Looks like it's having no trouble zipaligning and deodexing it. So I should be good on that front right? :D

Though still, a tar to IMG function would still save some time when creating new rom projects.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fatimarvin_15:
is there a way (or modified CWM or modified img) to include vendor partition on NAND Backup by CWM?

Because ICS for xperia neo have the so called vendor partition...

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necro_:
An img is typically only a single partition (unless its an entire device image but that's more of a manufacturer deal). The partition in the img would be system, user data, root, vendor... You wouldn't get e.g. system & vendor partitions in 1 img.

The file system used in the img can also vary so creating an img in ways mentioned in this thread might not work for your vendor partition. I wouldn't imagine the vendor partition would even need backing up because its not something you'd need to modifiy.

As for backing up and restoring the vendor partition using ClockWorkMod, that's more of a question to be posted in a ClockWorkMod thread, or maybe even a new thread?!...

Nice tool !!! I don't know if it's a bug but i can't extract files that are 0 kb in size.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Antagonist42:
Excellent utility and very easy to use great job ;-)

A couple of small mods may make it easier for newer users to Android/Linux, a Legend for basic permissions and the related codes (if anybody is like me they can never remember them :-( ) and would it be possible to edit the, for example the 'system' folders permission, as it's the only item I've not been able to edit in yaffey.

Again many thanks for your efforts :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] salv-ice:
Does this work with the latest ICS firmwares from Sony ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necro_:
Yes, that's a bug. If I ever get around to releasing another version that'll be fixed!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necro_:
ah yes, the 'system' folder will be the root of the system image and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to make it so you can't change the permission of the root object. That needs to be changed!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necro_:
Yes it will. If you download an .ftf file then you can open it with an an archive editor (7zip) since it's just a zip file and extract the sin files. Use the sin2img converter tool and any images that are YAFFS2 will be readable by Yaffey.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nawoa:
I've been looking for something like this for hours!

edit: Awww. Won't open anything for me. I ask it to open an IMG file from the Galaxy Nexus OTA and it just gives me a summary, won't let me view the files or make any changes.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rivelta:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] necro_:
I think the Galaxy Nexus uses the EXT4 file system which Yaffey doesn't support.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VladIS82:
Another bug is that some files were lost after opening system.img from HTC WFS: all 0kb, the whole directory system/etc/firmware, some files from system/apps (from A to C beginning letter), some files from system/bin (all 28kb, lrwxr-xr-x toolbox), some jpg's. Unfortunately couldn't find any logic. Was able to import them back, but couldn't set lrwxr-xr-x and toolbox alias. :(

I have somewhat similar problem but when making an image - nearly half of the files don't get included in the image.

I've downloaded and extracted CyonogenMod 9.1.0 rom for Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100

mirror.symnds.com/software/cm/jenkins/7078/cm-9.1.0-galaxys2.zip

then made an image of system folder. When I reopen the image in yaffey.exe nearly half of the files were not there, though whole subfolder structure was saved properly. No any errors were given, Win7x64

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to modify the boot.img of my International Galaxy S3, using this application, but I receive the following error:

The boot.img is the boot taken from stock rom.

Thank you in advance! :laugh:

I guess this is a low sized ext3 archive. If so you need to mount it as loop image, then modify it and unmount. Then you're good to go.

[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
This is AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 built from source.

This ROM is pure AOSP not CM or AOKP based. The ROM was built with the user tag so the framework and most of the system apks are ODEXed. The purpose of this ROM is give as close of a OEM feel as possible.

Advantages of an ODEXED

The odexing bring some advantages, less ram usage, faster boot times and reduced Space occupied in /data/dalvik-cache , so MORE spare for Apps and Data

Thanks to Team DRH(credit goes to these guys, without their hard work this ROM would not be possible) Preludedrew, Gojimi, Kornyone, The Cyanogenmod team, Leonnib4, roebeet, pershoot, and all the devs out there.

*YOU MUST DO A COMPLETE WIPE BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. If you get stuck on the "android" screen, in Clockwork, go to mounts and storage>format system and format data. Then wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. Then reflash the Rom. YOU CAN NOT FLASH THIS OVER ANY OTHER ROM.

SAME AS TEAM DRH ROM..DO NOT LET YOUR TABLET SLEEP WITH THE USB PLUGGED IN TO YOUR COMPUTER.

This ROM is now V6 SuperCharged!!! The services.odex has already been modified and the all the needed files are included. Credit to Zeppelinrox. Go to his thread for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

To start the V6 SuperCharger:

1. Download and install a Terminal app

2. Type: su and then click "ALLOW" on the SuperUser pop up

3. Type: cd system/xbin

4. Type: sh V6SuperCharger.sh

5. Follow the prompts

**If you any audio issues, turn off GPS and then reboot the tablet

[G Tablet Android Development] thehumble1:
Are you finding performance or stability improvements with this ROM over DRH? Maybe without all that smoked pork this would run a bit better, but as you are using their kernel, if the limitations are at a lower level, they are probably still there.

It would be interesting to run a AOSP rom though, but the DRH setting options and non-kosher tweaks are just so tasty.

Then installed rom and went through the first initial setup. The only issue I am having is getting Superuser to work. Su binary vnull is what shows up in settings and no binary is showing.
