Hello all!

Today I present you F2I converter. This tool can convert system folder back to ext4 image format suitable for flashtools without cygwin.

Basically, this tool was made in keeping mind the format used by lollipop structure where dat files were converted to ext4 format and then unpacked, repacking them was kind of hard (or lazy to do so in my case) as it required linux or Cygwin [Based on

Xpirt's Guide

. Now I've always preferred a way to avoid linux and cygwin :P :eek:

I managed to put together a set of tools that can easily convert the extracted system folder back to img for flashing and in lollipop can be converted back to dat format on windows.

So this is what this tool is capable of! If you on lollipop and want [MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] guide to do so then here it is - [HOW TO] Lollipop DAT files | Compression and Decompression

FEATURES

• Supports all Android Versions

• Works without Linux or cygwin

• Generates Log that help to troubleshoot the issues

• No extra software required (Except Git for Windows)

• Supports both way conversion

• Suggest more features

• Much more to come!

HOW TO USE

You need GIT for windows to run this tool. Kindly download and install GIT from

HERE

Now install GIT and when you're done download F2I converter and extract it in core C: directory. There will be a folder names as "IMG_WIN" kindly make sure it is extracted in C:

Recommended GIT is v 1.9.4 or newer.

Mostly everything is self-explanatory in the tool but when you will convert "SYSTEM" folder back to "EXT4 img" format you will be asked to enter size in bytes.

Here is what you are asked to do..

1) Open the system.img inside the respective folder you're working on and then right click on it and click Properties

2) In General tab you'll see something like this

Now copy the highlighted part and paste in the box shown below in image

Now you can continue. Ahead

BUGS

This tool is in BETA phase so you are likely to face some bugs. Though I have paid a lot of attention while creating this tool but you may encounter some small code errors (like path not found etc) I request you to kindly see for yourself and correct it.

You are likely to face this error mostly though

error in bla bla bla ..... failed to allocate block [NUMBERS] out of space?

If you encounter something like this then it will not work with your files. This will occur mostly in Android 2.3.x-4.4.x and in some cases with 5.0 and 5.1

I am trying to fix this issue. Please co-operate

Rest no major bug.
