Hi I'm having a problem with unpacking system.img file. Here is the error message:

Opener_mkdtfchztkfbm!App\RMXtools_v1.5_Root_x64+32bit>bin\Imgextractor.exe "F:\RemixOS\system.img" -i

The system cannot find the path specified.

[Remix OS for PC] Joanse:
i've tried every initrdx64.img and non has worked for me, it always fails when installing binaries on SuperSu, i followed all the guide correctly, did it like 5 times and never works... what can i do?
[Remix OS for PC] Infinitrium:
I expanded my data.img with your tool, then resized it. When I rebooted, the remix os menu entry is missing, my pc just boots straight into Windows. What did I do wrong?
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
data.img has nothing to do with boot entry
[Remix OS for PC] droident:
Didn't work for me. Thought my 64 bit install was 32 bit, so tried that option and even with the modded initrd, no luck.

I like the idea of RemixOS but its stuff like locking out superuser that make me hate it. On an consumer phone, yes. Desktop environment, NO.
[Remix OS for PC] yochananmarqos:
Alt-F1 gives you a root terminal, FYI. Also, systemless root is available.
[Remix OS for PC] droident:
I figured it out, couldn't figure out the other methods to obtain root.

Basically opened my system.img, extracted it, then pointed the tool at the system_ extracted folder and hit the root (x64) button and repacked.

Finally there :P
[Remix OS for PC] MasterBoy71:
Looks nice..... RMXtools v.1.6.......

i have tried all the methods for rooting my remix os but nothing has worked for me, it always asks me to update binaries and always fails, im waiting for RMXtools 1.6 to see if that finally works :/

Unless you installed google applications in it

If so? you have to enter the size of "system_" size + minimum 500 MB

It depends the size of your remix partition. On mine i have 140Gb.

I choose 10.000 MB to system and 125.000 MB to data img

how to edit ramdisk.img and repack ramdisk.img for Remix OS? plz reply me
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
use my script for initrd.img

download initrd-tools linux

rename ramdisk.img to initrd.img

then use command

usage

sh unpack-init

sh repack-init

rename it back to ramdisk.img
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
what for ? unpack repack ramdisk.img?
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
I haven't used 1.6 yet. Just to make sure, to increase size of data:

1 browse to the data.img file

2 extract the data.img file

3 set new size

4 expand the extracted file

5 chksize

Correct?
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
Yes but without extract No 2

1- browse to the data.img

2- set new size

3- hit the Expand-img button

done

3- press Expand-img button then wait

[Remix OS for PC] Milamber33:
Is this initrd for x86 or x64?
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
Yeah why not keep it within the tools app
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Both I think; it's made from 64bit, but there shouldn't be a difference between 32/64bit in initrd.img. 32/64bit differences are in kernel/ramdisk/system only.
[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:
I used it for 205 with no problems.

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

latest RMXtool v1.7 is affected by a command bug: since you forget to declare working directory under quotation marks, directories with spaces make 7zip to wrong.

So I needed to move RemixOS files in a "spaceless" directory to make your tool working.

Please solve asap
[Remix OS for PC] imadlatch:
Strange!

I have no such issue

lets try RMXtools fix
[Remix OS for PC] Simone98RC:
The issue wasn't solved :rolleyes:

^ Here my standard procedure, the working directory with spaces on my external drive: RMXtool fails, I'm sure for the absence of marker quotes in 7z command line, that you haven't introduced with latest executable (as you can see).

What you changed?

^ Here the working directory is spaceless, so RMXtool is working properly.

[Remix OS for PC] lollyjay:

Yes! Thank you. Opening in 7zip was the solution.

I seem to not be able to root my OS.I go through the entire process of unpacking the system.img file, rooting for 64 bit, repacking it and replacing the old system file, and replacing the initrd (64 bit) file. Having the SuperSU program update its binary always fails. I haven't the faintest clue why. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, is there anyone try this on the lastest version 2.0.402? Root function works?
[Remix OS for PC] nkolvek:
No actual clear instructions on using 1.7, stumbled my way through using 1.5 tutorial.. UI changes make a world of difference sometimes.. 1.5 tutorial is for rooting 32 bit only, no system.sfs located on 64bit. Rooting 64 bit with this tool was fairly simply to figure out once you watch the 1.5 all the way through but.. I still could not get it to boot after rooting the image and repacking. Even after replacing initrd and placing copies of them in the new folder locations per other instructions. If this tool is going to continue, I'd like to see an easier root/repack/placement process and maybe some indication on the resize image option to show remaining partition space or space available to expand. I can calculate it just as easy or guess, either way it still works I just think some kind of indication to remaining space would be handy. Even a new instruction video when there is a major UI change (or make a 32/64 bit video..).

this works! ... it has taken me all day but I managed to do root

the trick:

SuperSU only works with system.img not with system.sfs... but in grub.cfg, system.sfs is not found ... do not worry just add it before of /kernel ... so: /system.img /kernel

and that is!

Sorry for the delay!

if you want to update the binary, don't re-pack again

Keep the file extension .img

and you need to add in the grub file this:

/system.img

before this

/kernel

and works for me

you can see mine for example
