I copy the changes from the one that you did onto the newer initrd. I don't know how to repack it. Using Windows 10. Unpack it wasn't hard.

Hoping someone make a tool to this on Windows.

So can I use the above initrd.img file for the new version of Remix OS (3.0.207) ?
[Remix OS for PC] Dunard:
Gotta wait until he release it. I removed that file that I post. I left the unpacked for him to look at. So that he can repack it.
[Remix OS for PC] Lonely Shirou:
Thanks for the clarification! Is it just a matter of repacking the folder into a img file? I know a couple of free softwares that can do the job, unless there's some technical stuff to do before repacking it?

Hi [MENTION=5477568]imadlatch[/MENTION],

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a version of your tool that could add the Stock TV google apps to the Android 7.1.1 Android TV system.sfs found at http://geektillithertz.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/11/27/android-tv-7-1-nougat-for-pc/ ?

When I use Rufus 2.1.1 to make a bootable USB key, it puts the system.sfs file in the root of the USB key. I have used unsquashfs on windows to extract this and make the system.img file. I can grab the stock tv apps from opengapps.org for Android 7.1.1. So if it would be possible to easily install them via a tool like RMXtools, that would be great.

Otherwise, do you have any instructions on how to open the system.img file and copy in the Google Apps / Framework to get the gapps package bundled? I would like to setup android tv on my Media PC in the lounge. There's an older Android 6.0.1 hacked Nexus Player image that has the Google Apps built in, but because the image behaves as a nexus player, it keeps on wanting to download a 400mb Android 7.1.1 update, but it can't write it as it says there's a verification / CRC error, and it downloads it again.

Btw: I know its a bit off topic, but thought this was probably a good place to ask.

Edit: So under Ubuntu, I managed to mount the system.img file and then copy the /priv-app, /app and /etc components of the Google Apps into the system.img.

Commands (system.img in Download folder of profile, from a terminal session in the Download folder)

"sudo mount -t ext4 -rw -o loop system.img android/"

Extract all the .APK files and copy them to a gapps folder which has "priv-app", "app", "etc" contents in it, and then from a terminal in this root gapps folder

"sudo cp -r * ~/Download/android/"

However something must not be right (maybe permissions or other config changes), as the system just gets stuck on the Android boot logo when using the system image (repacked as a system.sfs file after adding the additional files). I expanded the system.img to 1.8gb using resize2fs to allow room (its got 100mb of free space still). I am not sure if I need to add some extra items to the build.prop file.
[Remix OS for PC] rajnallan:
Can anyone help please...I am stuck at the same stage....
[Remix OS for PC] rajnallan:
I had gone through all the steps until Rebuild image. When I click on Rebuild img it takes to me to system_ file and then to the next screen and then to another screen to save as system.img. But on the too I get an error message as below:

OK. Understand it. But what can I do in this case? Originally I have system.sfs on my harddrive.
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
Unpack it

use RMXtools and press unpack and choose where system.sfs

move system.img instead system.sfs

edit grub.cfg

done
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
if you did not delete system.img in tmp folder you can use it

you root it already
[Remix OS for PC] gybhg:
And where can I edit grub.cfg on win10?
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
its in boot partition

is your bios support UEFI ? if so

open cmd as an administrator and type the following command

mountvol B: /s

you will see a new partition with letter B open it

go to efi\Android grub.is there

path Specifies the existing NTFS directory where the mount

/D Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory.

/L Lists the mounted volume name for the specified directory.

/P Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory,

[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
according to the video EasyBCD creates grubs boot files on (Boot partition) or (windows partition)

lets check the boot part

use mini tools partition wizard find partition marked as Active & BOOT then assign drive letter to it

uncheck hide protected operation system files

show hidden files

see if you can find grub there

otherwise

this is as far as I can help you I don't want to split the thread

Most likely no need to edit anything just delete system.sfs put system.img instead thats all

because initrd.img will check both if exists

if you don't want to wipe everything

use mini tools partition wizard to convert from fat32 to ntfs without format
[Remix OS for PC] electrikjesus:
You can convert the drive to NTFS using multiple free tools with no data loss. It will work for most Android-x86 based uses. Otherwise, there are no tools that I am aware of to convert fat32 to ext4 while retaining readability within windows.
[Remix OS for PC] Quote100:
Thanks guys. there was nothing on that data partition as i didn't want to do anything until i could get more usage out of that data partition. i decided to format it to ntfs via windows and then run the installer again choosing the "do not format" option. For some reason windows takes a long time to actually see files on the drive after i install something so i'm currently waiting on that and then i'll try to expand it

First off thanks for letting me know about this tool. I have tried it and was unable to root. I got a message relating to an error with lib 64 however i specifically used the rooting tool for 32bit. I copied the files to root of System folder as was mentioned and ran the script with sudo right on the mounted folder and got that error. I am using a full install, and have no data.img or system.sfs instead have folders. I was able to root using the modded system.img I found, and simply replaced it with the system.sfs and installed that way. So I have root! But if there was something I was missing on your method please advise.

if your data.img not in FAT32 you can expand it directly otherwise not possible
