Hi guys, i searched lot, but did not find any proper solution for getting flashable files of smart flash from kdz..
Plz help guys..
Obviously you haven`t searched enough .
I think that you are looking for LGExtract 0.2.1
Tool is in it`s beginning, but from reading I think that it can extract smartflash files from kdz and it is tested on p990 (I haven`t tested it).
k, i tried that, now i got 13 files.
some are img, some fls etc.
but we need only 2 files for flashing with smartflash tool. bin and fls.
how to get them ?
As I said, I haven`t tried to do this, hence I can`t help you. You will must to read and ask for support in original thread, where the author of the tool is present.
If you are trying to flash kdz and since LG have changed their politics, try to read this thread too... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781
Hi all,
first, thank you Memhis, the tool is excellent. It works under Linux too in Wine environment.
But I have some observations and some questions
- first decrypt/decompile KDZ file only extract a CAB file - this CAB file can be extracted by cabextract utility
- after CAB file extraction, there is WDB file and machine specific DLL - this DLL file must be used for extraction of WDB, I try the newer one without success
- after performing extraction of WDB using DLL there are number of files which can be useful
AENEAS_FW.fls, psi.fls, R375_SIC.fls, slb.fls - these files are the baseband and can be flashed using smart flash tool - it must be flashed all, not only some
#_Split_Data.img - after joining this file to one, it contains Linux filesystem (now EXT3) with all data of /system partition and you can get lge-ril.so from this
The remaining files I don't identify and only speculate what is it
ext3_flashboot.img - this filesystem is used to boot for flashing???
fastboot.bin - ???
recovery.img - recovery partition - this images is used to replace ClockWorkMod I think
Once again, many thanks. I was searching for this similar tool about six moths ago.
can you tel me,how do you extract the split_data.img??
at this point i have no idea what i must do and find nothing about it.

There is nothing to "extract" from split_data.img. It is a true EXT3 Linux filesystem. You have to use a Linux box or something to allow mount an Linux image to Windows environment. I can only point you to http://www.ext2fsd.com/ site which is free good ext2/3/4 filesystem driver, but I don't know, if it is usable - it can mount a Linux partition under Windows but don't know it can mount a image file as disk. Hope so.
Thanks for the information, but I can't extract Split_Data.img (it's the joined file of 4 .img files).
How can I extract this .img in Linux (virtual machine)?

You have to mount it, like it is a whole filesystem. Google it to find out how to mount img file. Once done, you'll open it like a hard drive.
Edit: Forget my question, it works now!
My last question: Is the file "ext3_flashboot" the same as the boot.img files in CWM roms?
OK, I managed to extract the kdz file and I made a rebuild of V20c without flashing the kdz, just with extracting!
I'll upload it in a few minutes!
For those who wants to extract KDZ I prepare a little manual...

Hi Keltek, thanks for the manual. but i am getting some error, any ideas? I'm using Win 7 32-Bit. This is the error:
C:\>LGExtract -kdz V20F_00.kdz
Extracting:
KDZ: V20F_00.kdz
Failed to create cab file.
Error code: 00000005
Message: Access is denied.
Failed to extract file.
Please report this error with this file.
thanks
NEVER MIND: cmd.exe should "Run as Administrator", it works now.
The last question I have is how to join the 4 extracted baseband files to one file?
Does that work with copy /b command?
What i got from flashing basebands is that youre supposed to flash them one by one from largest to smallest file. so basically what you should be doing to "compress" the procedure is you unpack those 4 files, put the largest one in place and copy the others onto it, replacing duplicates. Then repackage what you merged, and try that, cant think of anything more logical than that.
That sounds logical, but I don't know how to extract the files.
But it's not very important, because it isn't a problem to flash 4 files instead of one.
Please extract Bb from v20h rohan

If you give me the link to the kdz, I will extract the baseband for you.

You should specify from which ROM file, coz there are many version with same identification but different content - I don't understand why LG do this - the V20q for Czech Republic is not the same as V20q for Italy...
I take a look at V20h and it contain 1035.21_20110725 BaseBand.
I´ve read about extracting one package file and I noticed that when we extract that, it won´t generate the file BOOT.tar.md5
What is this file? Is the kernel?
I wouldn´t have problem if I installed a rom stock without this file, correct?
Thanks...sorry my bad english.
If someone want to know. After search, i found the file BOOT.img.tar is the kernel!
hi i new to this forum.sorry if my english is bad
i have some questions.first ill explain what i did and want to doo, and here i need help.
i have an galaxy s gt i9000 and i flashed it to the latest firmware XXJW4.than i rooted it.but now its not rooted.

than i googled how to open tar file, used magic iso and opend it.deleted few files from factoryfs.rfs.
now my questios.
1.is it safe to delet these file (dialer, voice search,now buddies, some test files and so on..)
2.can i still flash the firmware without these files and without no bugs to see.
3.im not an expert on this, i need someone to create a tar file using those files that i have on my pc
so i can flash my galaxy.
4.can i replace the kernel to an another one and if so which one can i use.

-boot.bin
-cache.rfs
-factoryfs.rfs <<< this is the one i oped and deleted files
-modem.bin
-param.lfs
-sbl.bin
-zImage.

Hi, i have a doubt... Can i extract the files from stock rom (s3 i9305) downloaded from samobile. Files in format *.tar.md5 with program 7zip, for example, and add(compress) the file extracted boot.img (kernel) to a file *.tar, for flash with odin? sorry the english. Thanks
Yes!

Yes, this is possible. You can also do it with Odin Mobile.
But you're stock kernel should be the same Android Version as new rom.
For exemple : extract 4.1.1 stock boot.img and inject in inside MIUI rom.
Hello community,
I'm currently trying to modify the stock rom for my GT-I8200n. I didn't find cwm for the S III mini VE, and the version of twrp I found was very buggy. So I need an odin-compatible flash file for my rom. I tried to modify the stock rom by downloading the .tar.md5 from sammobile, unpacked it with winrar and copied the system.img into an ubuntu-VM. After that I created a sys.img (or sys.raw, same problem) out of system.img using the simg2img-file I found somewhere here on xda, mounted sys.img (or sys.raw) and modified it. Then I unmounted it and used img2simg to create my system_new.img. Copied it to my windows system, into the unpacked stock rom folder, renamed it to system.img, overwriting the old system.img and packed everything into a .tar file using ZArc. Now while flashing my ROM, odin works on the system.img for some minutes and then shows a fail.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
P.S.: I tried simply using simg2img on my stock system.img and then - without mounting and modifying - used img2simg kn the sys.img file. Same problem with odin and I noticed that my new system.img is approximately 50 mb smaller than the stock img, although I didn't modify it.
I hope I described my problem well (I'm not an english native speaker, but did my best to make this text understandable )
Any ideas or hints that could maybe solve this problem are welcome.
Thank you,
Chris
I have the same problem
any solution ?
