Having trouble extracting/opening system.img

[ Problem solved ]

I have been having troubles trying to extract the build.prop from a system.img from a Galaxy S6 stock files, I have tried the follow programs and no luck in any of them. It never opens the .img file and i always get an error. I just want to obtain to the build.prop from the system.img so i can upload the files needed to compatible with the PingPong Root. So if you guys can help me out that would be great. It's about two days i been struggling with this problem I been reading around and nothing seems to help all the methods I've seen here seem to fail.

If it helps the system.img file size is about 3.13GB

I'm on Win7 64bit

The programs I have tried and failed.

I used the file found on the first post of this thread "simg2img.7z"

Then I used ext2explore to extract the build.prop from the system.img

Finding System.Img File

Hello,

For starters, I'm pretty new to this. I watched the video you linked below, but I don't know where to get the system.img file. I found a website with a bunch on there, but it did not include my phone. I have an LG G Stylo on Virgin Mobile. Do I need the system.img file for my specific device or can I use one that is similar?

Thanks

First things first: how do I get system.img in the first place? I'm looking for a device-agnostic version of this guide. I Googled the topic, and besides some guides specific to some long forgotten, obscure devices (I do love Android fragmentation), I have found something that seemed a bit more universal, more device-agnostic. This one, from 2012. Which points to a dead Mediafire link. I'm not sure if that's the thing I need, but I need to get system.img onto my computer first, I guess. Thanks, your help really helps!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Lx:
HI,

I used to have an XDA/Walaby but I lost it.

I posted a topic about making an option in the rom for the device to send it's network position for it to be retrievable.

Now that I've got a MDA II / Hymalaya I am wodnering if this is something that can be done for this devide.

I'm sorry but I'm no expert programmer, just a regular user with little in-depth knowledge, so please forgive me for my bad explenation and terms.

What I was thinking about having something built into the bootrom that would check a certain website everytime it connects with GPRS or WIFI to the internet.

Hidden and 'in stealth' ofcourse, without knowing of the 'new' owner.

On this website there would be a code, normally stating 'green' meaning the devide is in good hands.

When the device is lost or stolen, the original user change this code to 'red' by a password protected email, login/change setting or something like that.

When the devide connects to the site and finds it's code turned to 'red'it should send a log file with information on witch netwerk point it is connected, WiFi point, Current SIM (plus mobile number and owner-) information and so on.

Maybe it's even possible with just SMS messages so the devide doesn't even has to connect ot the internet but a normal GSM signal would do.

With all this information it should be possible to go to the authorities and get the device back, or atleast give prove of theft for insurance purposes.

And since this function should run from the bootrom, a normal update would not affect it's functionality.

Again, I am absolutely no programmer but I would really like to see if people find this an interesting feature. I would be more than happy to assist in anyway possible in developing.

Greetz,

Lx
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dcs:
Interesting idea :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Guest:
Yeah, that was the thread that came after I wondered about retrieval options for my XDA.

I will be testing IIWPO asap.

Still I think a lot more information could/should be send, especially since insurance companies won't do anything unless you have 'prove'of theft.

Someone else's SIM info and wherabouts seem hard to dismiss in a theft-quiry.

Maybe someone could give some comment on this?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] agambhandari:
Almost after 3 years since the tablets hit the world, I bought my first one. Now you all must think I have been living under a cave or something all this time.

But then truth is that although I like the idea of a Tablet, there just wasn't any real use for me all this time for a Tablet. Also the better ones like the 10 inch iPads and other tabs were just too big for mobile usage, 7 inches a bit small (why not just get a phablet?)

The Laptop and the netbook served my sedentary needs very well.

But why now?

Partly because I want one and also because my mom(Doctor turned Biology teacher) also needs to use it sometimes for teaching purpose, annotating Pdf's, drawing some biology diagrams etc.

and clearly nothing can do better annotation than the note series from Samsung. The styluses on other devices(capacitive) are clearly not nearly as good.

So went out to buy the Note 10.1 in march( even though it was a bit too big). Clearly, it worked well with the S-pen and mom also seemed at ease using it, but that problem of size was there and that coupled with the high price for a tv-out adapter(Mom would need to connect it to a projector as well) and the high price of the tablet itself (The only version sold in India is the 3G 16 GB at about 650 USD.

But then came across a news about the note 8.0, lighter and a more orthodox MICROUSB, decided to wait for the same.

In the meantime, Samsung even came out with a pretty awesome discount scheme of up to 15% on the note 10.1, but somehow my heart didn't listen.

Kept waiting, device was launched in the USA, reviews were out which were very very positive. The device came up for pre order at Rs 30,900, but I had to get a good hands-on before spending so much (damn no good return policy here in India).

Then I had a big exam coming up. (For entrance into a Medical College) Then went the same evening on the lookout for this device. After searching in vain at a number of stores, finally found at one shop. But the seller didn't have a demo unit. Damn...It was right there.

Kept calling up a few shops for availability and demo units. When I finally got some time, finally bought it on the May 19th. Interesting thing though, I was so frustrated by this point that I just used the phone arena . com size tool and I was ready to pay up the cash, but to my surprise as I walked in the store there was spanking new demo unit installed, just picked it up and knew that it is the perfect size. Did a bit of bargaining and actually got the device at Rs 29,000 (about 40 USD less than the pre order price)

The device has been working great. Feels very light in the hand. I wanted to connect it to a VGA projector, and there has been a quite a lot of work at it. I had to order a total of 5 items on eBay before finally getting it to work. Even now it sometimes gives a weird and different resolutions. Sometimes VGA resolution and sometimes 720p.But at least it works!

Looking to buy more accessories for this product.

I gave her 3 choices: the iPad, another Transformer 300, or Note 10.1. After sending her a plethora of YouTube video on all three, she wanted the Note 10.1!!! She loves it and I get a chance to mess around with it in the process. So much so, that I just ordered myself the Note 8.0!!!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kcharng:
Took the plunges and brought my self a note 8 too after looking at all the option. I was planning to wait for updated nexus 7.

The s pen sold me. Using the tablet as education toys for my kids it is great. The only letdown is the battery life which last slightly more than a day of usage.

I also put nova launcher on note 8 which standardize the look and feel across multiple device making my life easier. All the s pen features and multi screen still work under different launcher.

Note8 using normal interface rather than tablet interface also helps the transitions as all my purchase apps works well on note as well as my phone.

I hope someone can help me... I recently unlocked my bootloader, HTC One X ATT, I am S-off and have HBOOT 2.14, CID 11111111. I am now running Team Venom ViperXL 3.2.7 and it is awesome.... but I would love to try Liquidsmooth Rom or PAC . But when ever I flash them from TWRP 2.3.3.1 and gapps it boots up fine...then once the language chose comes on there is no touch response. I don't want to use TWRP 2.5.5.0 I think there are issuse with that one. Is it the kernel? I spent the day looking for kernels that work. Rohans kernel won't work because he says on for 4.1.X not 4.2.x. I need some advice what will get these ROMs to work. I try re-downloading the Roms and re flashing but it still comes up to first page (language entry) but no touch response. Thanks ahead and do apologize for this long entry.
