How to Extract .NBH File?

Guys,
How to extract RUU_signed.nbh file? I tried the imgfs tools by mamaich, viewimgfs is not extract properly, with the following error:
Header type: 00000000, Addr: FFFC01A5
Unknown header type, FS_DATA_TABLE??
I also tried aChef and aWaiter without success.
Based on the wiki, imgfstools can be used for Trinity but in fact the extraction of imgfs_raw_data.bin is failed.
Kindly advise.
Cheers,
Vibranze

i managed to convert .nbh file to .nb files using nbhtool, however i still can't extract the imgfs_raw_data.bin using either viewimgfs or ImgfsToDump.exe, it always complained "Unable to Load Compression DLL".
kindly advise.
cheers,
vibranze

[TUTORIAL] Self-assembly of Android Firmwares

I just saw a tutorial in 4PDA by R0iz and wanted to share it here!
The link to the original post translated:

Extract the files *. img
To extract system.img, used unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/)
I have compiled under Ubuntu 64. With Unyaffs can only be extracted system.img.
To extract boot.img use extract-kernel.pl and extract-ramdisk.pl
# extract-kernel.pl boot.img
# extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rebuilding boot.img
After extracting boot.img with the enclosed extract-*. pl
In order to collect boot.img with Custom kernel in the same folder run:
# mkbootfs boot.img-ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-boot
# mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-boot --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o newBoot.img --base 0x19200000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rebuilding system.img
At first glance it seems that you can simply mount the image and format it with YAFFS, but it's not because, as SPL Hero does not allow flash system.img directly.
You must use the format update.zip packages for this. (читайте ниже) (See below)
Write update.zip quite simple really. For example, to add the package test.apk in your rum:
- Create an empty folder <workdir>
- Create a folder structure for test.apk (<workdir> / system / app) and copy test.apk
- Create a folder structure for the update-script (<workdir> / META-INF/com/google/android)
- Edit <workdir> / META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
- Insert the following:
show_progress 0.1 0 show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: copy_dir PACKAGE: system SYSTEM:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:app set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM: app
show_progress 0.1 10 show_progress 0.1 10
- Pack the contents <workdir> in zip (not the folder itself <workdir>, only its contents)
Now you have to sign a zip file. Testsign.zip download and copy it to your <SDK> / tools.
Unzip it there, thus creating a sub-folder sign with a file testsign. in it.
Then in the folder <workdir>, run this command:
java-classpath "<SDK> / tools / sign / testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Everything is now ready for your update.zip pouring into the apparatus by a modified recovery.
Click to expand...

Change. Apk package
apk can just unpack an archive, change what you need and pack it back. But in the end you have to sign it as well as update.zip packages.
ODEX files
- What is it? Answer
- How to get rid of them?
For deodex ODEX files, use this howto
Then you can create classes.dex file by running smali from your "out". Then rename it to classes.dex and add it to apk.
- How to create them?
Use dexopt-wrapper on the device.

Porting ROM with other devices.
Well, this part is simple smile_good.gif
- Extract system.img
- Extract boot.img
- Replace boot.img-kernel of the original Roma HTC Hero.
- Rebuild boot.img
- Collect update.zip (see how it's done in any Custom rum for Hero)
- Sign and flash.
Device should start, and even be able to call, but probably will not work WiFi, BT, trackball.
Androsign script (Linux)
Androsign allows you to quickly sign the zip and apk. Just put it in <SDK> / tools, then CHMOD + X. If the path to the folder \ tools registered in the PATH, then you can run this script by typing:
androsign /dev/folder1/folder2/update.zip
He will Update-signed.zip (or App-signed.apk, etc.) in the same folder where the original file.
THANKS ARE WELCOMED!

Can we actually use this to port Sense or MIUI ?

this explains part of the process, the steps to do fo that purpose extracting and rebuilding but of course not about the code. i've heard MIUI is complex than sense

Most of us know this allready but nice to see it being said instead of learning the hard way

[HOW TO] Extract kernel image from the Samsung Galaxy S5 VZW firmware

If you interested in extracting the kernel image from the Samsung Galaxy S5 ROM, you should follow the following steps.
This is was tested with the G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_VZW stock ROM firmware.
The first is extracting the files from the ROM firmware file, this is explained in many places and won't be covered here.
Extract the boot.img to some directory, using the Android unpackbootimg utility:
Code:
unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o boot/
After extracting the boot.img file you will usually end up with the following file list:
Code:
boot.img-base
boot.img-cmdline
boot.img-pagesize
boot.img-ramdisk.gz <- this includes the root (/) files, like init*.rc and SELinux policy files
boot.img-zImage <- compressed image of the Android Linux kernel
Next step will be extracting the compressed kernel image from the zImage file. The Android kernel is a self-extracting compressed file, while different devices use different compression methods. While looking at the file contents using hex editor, you can see the decompression code at the beginning, and then at some point the compressed data begins. The compressed image begins where you find the LZO magic header.
Code:
static const unsigned char lzop_magic[9] = {
0x89, 0x4c, 0x5a, 0x4f, 0x00, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x1a, 0x0a
};
Save the data from the LZO magic header to the end of the file with the zImage.kernel file name.
This firmware and kernel are using LZO compression, and there is an easy to use utility called lzop that is used for the decompression of the file. Just run the following command to decompress the kernel from the zImage.kernel file:
Code:
lzop -d -c zImage.kernel > zImage.kernel.decompressed
And now you have the decompressed kernel for the device ready for exploration, which is also attached to this post.
Note:
I've tried using different scripts that do the job, including galaxys2_kernel_repack and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901152 but both failed while extracting the kernel image, although were able to extract the begin position for the LZO compression header.

But it does trip KNOX after flashing, doesn't it?

I tried that and was given a warning of trailing bytes by `lzop`. Later when i do a `file` command on the resulting uncompressed file, it is not a vmlinux ELF image, rather it is a data file. How are we able to repack this image back into zImage? Any advise is appreciated thanks.

What i do if i have boot.img-kernel and boot.img-kernel_offset?

The boot.img-kernel is your zimage file

What Source you used for Unpack?
Can you share link for you Scripts? or can you provide link to scripts for unpacking and repacking Note 9 Exynos Kernel?
Thanks

[Q] What is wrong with my boot.img for Samsung Note 3 SM-N900P?

Greetings
I followed these procedures, and pushed the boot.img with Odin, but the phone goes into download mode stating: "Could not do normal boot." Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? How can I troubleshoot the issue? Is there some way I can look at some logs somewhere? I did save my recovery.log file from twrp to the sdcard before I loaded the backedup files and rebooted the phone. I put them here is there anything else I can do?
I tried the same thing with boot.img and I got the following:
Code:
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ ./mkboot boot.img ksumag
Unpack & decompress boot.img to ksumag
kernel : zImage
ramdisk : ramdisk
page size : 2048
kernel size : 8262680
ramdisk size : 1064985
dtb size : 1300480
base : 0x00000000
kernel offset : 0x00008000
ramdisk offset : 0x02000000
second_offset : 0x00f00000
tags offset : 0x01e00000
dtb img : dt.img
cmd line : console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x37 ehci-hcd.park=3
ramdisk is gzip format.
Unpack completed.
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ cd ksumag/
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools/ksumag$ ls
dt.img img_info ramdisk ramdisk.gz zImage
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools/ksumag$
I put the scsi_wait.ko ( name? ) file in ramdisk /dev folder, and replaced the zImage and dt.img file with the ones I made, and packed them into my own boot.img file.
Here is the output:
Code:
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ ./mkboot ksumag/ boot.img
mkbootimg from ksumag//img_info.
kernel : zImage
ramdisk : new_ramdisk.gz
page size : 2048
kernel size : 8262680
ramdisk size : 1082259
dtb size : 1300480
base : 0x00000000
kernel offset : 0x00008000
ramdisk offset : 0x02000000
tags offset : 0x01e00000
dtb img : dt.img
cmd line : console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x37 ehci-hcd.park=3
Kernel size: 8262680, new ramdisk size: 1082259, boot.img: 10893312.
boot.img has been created.
...
Then I put all files in a tar file. I did make a couple of mistakes with files names, which I hope did not damage the boot.img file.
Code:
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ tar -H ustar -c boot.img >> boot.img
tar: boot.img: file is the archive; not dumped
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ ls
ARM dtbToolCM ksumag mkbootimg recovery.img
boot.img dtbtool.txt lz4 MyKernel.tar.md5 recovery.tar.md5
commands dtc mkboot oldfiles shahin
dtbTool ksuamg mkbootfs README.md sm-n900p-test1
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ tar -H ustar -c boot.img > boot.img
tar: boot.img: file is the archive; not dumped
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ tar -H ustar -c boot.img > boot.tar
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$
Then I took the hash of the entire thing:
Code:
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ md5sum -t boot.tar >> boot.tar
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$ mv boot.tar boot.tar.md5
[email protected]:~/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools$

I am trying to get a flashable image. The file I get from the above procedure goes on my phone, but the kernel does not seem to be loaded. I am still learning about the boot process, and I do not know if my phone just has a bootloader or a bootstrap also; regardless it seems to not load the kernel since it goes into download mode. The recovery.log does not show anything either. I posted in pastebin. I can put link to it here if you think it would help. My goal is to flash my phone with a copy of the kernel which I built myself.

Oh you need a developer to respond for that.

Do you know if I can move this thread myself or perhaps request it from one of the admins? I do not know how effective it would be if I put a link to this discussion in the developer forum.

You may ask as you can't move it. You should move it to developers discussion forum
