From the post you quoted;

1. mkdir sys
2. ./simg2img system.img sys.raw
3. sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop sys.raw sys/

to break it down:

mkdir sys

Creates a new folder called sys (Which it is assumed in the instructions that you place the downloaded program "simg2img")

./simg2img system.img sys.raw

In linux, if you were to just run simg2img it DOES NOT check the current folder. It only checks your "path" the list of directories that contain binaries that can be run from terminal with out including their full path. The "./" means "This folder" so the "./simg2img" means run a binary with the path *this folder*/simg2img

It appears to be using the .img file created on the phone to create the new .raw file specified in the last arguement...

sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop sys.raw sys/

Kinda like mounting a image on windows using daemon tools, this command is just calling for admin rights to tell the system to attach the contents of the .raw file as if it was located at ./sys/ (That command will probably work, it looks bad to me with out the ./ in front to specify exactly where but I guess the mount command assumes to mount in that folder in the PWD?

You don't unpack because you mount the image, and it will show up in your file system as if it was any other folder...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device

Basically the image will show up like USB drive or what ever else, and you can see/modify the contents with out unpacking.

No idea about the headers and footers, but from what I have read mfastboot exists to flash larger partition sizes the fastboot can handle... Check this log output from flashing with mfastboot:

E:\New Software\Moto\XT1052_RETAIL-ASIA_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_18_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml
>mfastboot flash system system.img

finished. total time: 88.174s

Notice it breaks "system" down into three equal sized parts (I THINK this is max size fastboot can handle), and one smaller/left over one then flashes one after the other? If I am not mistaken THIS is the reason behind mfastboot, to do this splitting and writing of only PART of the partition....

Comments:

I have no idea if/how the mofo exploit works, but JulesJam wanted to create a prerooted system.img, so starting with a stock system.img is not ideal

making an image from a working, prerooted system is straightforward, and I have seen evidence that this works with the moto g

an unmodified simg2img doesn't work on moto x's system.img, exactly because of the header I mentioned.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

As far as I know, no one but motorola can sign their image files for use with a locked bootloader.

The image generated by ext2simg or make_ext4fs is intended for an unlocked bootloader or the [hopefully forthcoming] mofo exploit.

Good Luck

I have the system files pulled from an ATT XT1058 rooted,Busybox and boot loader unlocked phone,I am more than happy to help in any way I can to have 4.4.4 root on our devices :)
[Moto X General] JulesJam:
[MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] has said he is working on root for the Moto X 2014 and jcase confirmed that on twitter. No ETA. Hopefully he will let us know something soon. If he can get it working for the Moto X 2014, maybe the Moto X 2013 will be next.
[Moto X General] Markmaster:
Don't get me wrong, but if I understand the whole topic clear, there is the new, proved method to root, not bootloader unlock, for example for my Moto X 2013 1058 AT&T with locked bootloader? And I will have the ability to use Xposed Framework and Titanium Backup, for example, like a legit root user, but only for reboot? Or I can get permanent root for only $20?
[Moto X General] JulesJam:
well no one was interested in this method so I didn't pursue it but I just made a rooted image and I think I can bake TiB/U, Xposed, etc. into the image using my XT1060 Dev Ed. I can't do it until later.

But in general, if you want to know about MoFo, read my noob guide here:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
Greetings ROM Developers!

As many (Disapointed) users i too have a i9003 wich cannot get signal to make phone calls / Detect SIM Card.

Therefore i hereby came here asking for help.

I'm constatly getting errors due to CSC issues / no Signal ("Cannot Connect to Network) etc.

I'm probably not the only one.

With all this said Is it possible for someone to develop a ROM without the "SIM" parts? (Like: a Port from a Tablet ROM)

Can anyone be able to accomplish this?

Update Tips (If possible and if it is helpfull):

- No Kies

- Gapps Side Flash (Since the Bloatware is Useless)

- Deodexed Rom

- Rom Name: "i9003 No Signal Rom"

I believe it would be a nice idea for people that ended with a brick in their hands.

Thanks in advance.

Best Personal Regards;

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darylangela:
I was able to root my DP7856K with Kingo Root, although now every reboot results in a near factory reset, root remains intact, but data and apps are wiped, signing into google starts the download process. What I've read so far is that the location of busybox is/may be wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twodee:
Don't know if you're still having problems or not, but the Kingo apk worked for me, although proceed at your own risk, rooting my DP7856K resulted in a factory reset with every reboot, even after moving busy box to /system/bin from /system/xbin as suggested by this forum. I've been forced to keep it on and charged up, or reload everything if the battery gives out unexpectedly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FractalSphere:
I've had the LG G3 through Sprint since last September. All was fine and great with it with Android 4.4.2. Ever since the 5.0.1 upgrade I've had some pretty consistent issues.

1. Laggy on the home screen - hitting home means maybe 2-3 full seconds of blank screen before the icons populate and the screen returns to the designated home screen as opposed to where it was when I entered an app.

2. It destroys app processing VERY quickly - too aggressively. What is the point of 'multitasking' if I leave a game/app to respond to a text or gchat and use the menu/multitasking menu to get back to that game/app and it restarts it like I hadn't been JUST USING IT.

3. ALL BROWSERS on the phone sometimes ***** to me that they can't connect to a Proxy Server. Really? I'm not set up for proxying ANYWHERE. There's also no config to specify that or to specifically turn it on or off.

4. My LTE/3G sucks now. It will consistently downgrade to 3G or just drop all connections. Turning off/on mobile data or doing restarts only sometimes fixes it. I take the Metra to work (above ground train) and before the upgrade I didn't have these issues. I'm also having this issue RIGHT NOW and I'm on the wifi at work. It won't connect.

5. Smart Cleaning doesn't work. It grinds for a minute and then pops me over to the main screen or to the multitasking screen. WTF?

It also takes a while to restart. And I've done all the System Updates (PRL, profile, firmware etc).

What I have NOT done is a factory reset - I just don't want to go through the hassle of that if I don't have to. Though I'm certainly open to the suggestion if it'll solve problems for me. I'm just not understanding if that would work if there's some underlying software/antenna/connection issues.

PLEASE - suggestions are very welcome! I'm very frustrated with this phone. I wish I'd rooted at 4.4.2 and gone with a custom ROM.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
This is probably more of a OS question than specifically a N6 question but I recently bought a N6 and I have a lot of apps I do not want to always update when I run updates in the Playstore. For example, on my old S3, I could disable an app from updating so it would ask me if I wanted to update it when I run "update all". It would start the updates but the ones I had disabled would specifically say do you want to update this and give me the option to "skip".

I have several apps I do not want to update when I click update all and manually updating 20+ apps at a time is annoying.

Thoughts on how to do this on the N6?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
dont press update all, as that will update all of them. just update the apps you want to update.

I just sideloaded 5.1 and I use Battery widget pro.

After 5.1 when I unplug my device this widget tells me I have 8 hours of battery left.

Even on 5.0 my battery seemed pretty poor but at least it would be at 12 to 14. I just don't get how it can be that bad.

Sometimes after turning it off then back on the battery level will adjust to something higher.

Is this possibly an app issue draining my battery? Anyone have any tips suggestions?

Best,

Ryan
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
Let it run for a day and see how much battery life you actually get. Maybe let it drain all the way out once and recharge it to 100%. I know when I ran custom ROMs on my Nexus devices, it would take a couple of days before the battery stats adjusted and displayed correct info. I once had a battery meter say 1% for about an hour before my phone died after switching to a new ROM.

A while back ago, I came on here to introduce a new site called Peekamo.com. It is a mobile social network that allows free text messaging.

Up until now, only Canadians got the 100% benefit from peekamo because US users still get charged for incoming text. Therefore we only solved half the problem for our US friends.

I am the lead developer and co-founder of Peekamo and have recently been working on a WM6 version that allows you to use data (wifi, cellular, activesync or bluetooth) to send and receive text messages for absolutely free.

If anyone is interested in helping us beta text this new application please message me or contact us direct by gonig to peekamo.com and using the contact us email.

Peekamo derives it's revenue by placing an ad up to 30 characters at the bottom of each message. However for the period of the beta test mobile app users will receive no advertising as a bonus incentive when receiving messages using the Peekamo mobile client.

A little tech background on the app and what are it's features:

Send/Receive text messages

Update your status message

Search for friends and groups

Multi-recipient texting

Peekamo's what's peekin' (what's going on with your friends feature)

Upload photos from your camera

Upload video from your camera

Look up profiles

Edit your profile

and more as we move forward.

The ultimate goal is to do everything that you can do on Peekamo.com, but on your mobile.

Thank you and hope to capture a few people's interest.

Not to rain on your parade, but all of the US carriers offer unlimited text messaging these days. Cingular just added it, replacing the 3000-per month plan with unlimited. Unlimited messaging is a LOT cheaper than unlimited data, as well..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] axiom:
Can you send text over your wifi connection with Cingular or any other US carrier? You will be able to with Peekamo. Unlimited data plan on Cingular costs 19.99, what would you rather have? Unlimited data or a unlimited text messaging plan?

Peekamo is also going world wide. Does your unlimited plan let you text your friends around the world for free? You unlimited texting plan also does not cover texting to Canada or when roaming.

Sorry everyone,

We've had a little bit of a set back and had to re-optimize data transfer for gprs and 3g connections, primary testing today confirms that we have achieved our target and we are now reading the application for it's release.

The new release date for the Peekamo Mobile Client is Friday. For those of you who have responded already, you will receive instructions and a cab file install to the email you have provided. If you have not created your Peekamo account yet, I suggest you do so right away and familiarize yourself with the service.

We have limited space available now for the first round of beta testing so if you're interested, please reply to us quickly as we expect to run out available spots by tomorrow.

Once again, thanks to everyone who has shown some interest and is willing to help out.
