This file magically appeared on root of my SD card. I have no idea how it was generated or where it could have come from.
In preparation of installing CM6.1 I was backing up my SD card and noticed this monster file, I saved a copy to my desktop and am almost tempted to burn a copy as i'm kinda curious what the heck it is. I changed the file extension to txt to possibly view anything that might make sense, but no such luck, all gibberish.
For lack of any other clues i'm wondering if it has anything to do with DSP Manager? I did have a couple of force closes early on with DSP Manager but its been behaving fine for awhile now so i'm clueless.
Anybody have any input on this?
I'm not overly concerned but at the same time if i've got some rogue program running around creating 24 MB img files i'd certainly like to know.
ATT version N1
CM 6.0 stable at the time .img file was spawned
A bit of Google:

Read the remarks in the code.
img is a file system format extension. Why would you try and open it as a text file? lololol

Lol, ya went over my head here, are you saying I can flash this to my system folder and have an additional DSP Manager to look at (after nandroid, ha)?
More details please, I'm not adverse to trying this as long as I'm not going to break anything.
Don't try this, as it'll rewrite your system partition with whatever is saved in the IMG. It's definitely not the system, the size isn't nearly big enough.

Yeah, it was a joke... never flash a file you don't know the contents of.

I like my system partition just the way it is thanks. But yeah probably wouldn't have flashed anything until it made more sense. Now it makes sense.

Hey guys,
Got both these partitions now all I need is a dd image of the system partition from stock d3 so I can put in the SBF.
Please try this and let me know if it works:
dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
System dump download

Thats a link to the CRC of the test ROM, someone pointed that out to me earlier, thanks though. I'm on to looking for a dd of the system image, final thing I'm missing. All I have found so far are zips of the files which isn't what I'm looking for.
I'll let you know when the SBF is ready, more testers the better.

Ok, does it contain any personal info? Also, i modified sytemui.apk, and frameworkres.apk to look like gb theme. Is that a problem? If so, maybe someonelse should upload theirs.

I would prefer a stock one so people can go back to stock, but no the system partition doesn't contain any personal info at all, its designed to be run read-only which is why you need root to mount it rw to edit it

Yes that is it exactly.
If any of the bell users out there would be kind enough to pull their /system folder for me I would be eternally greatful. I think if you open an adb shell on your computer, "su" to get root and then "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 of=/sdcard/mmcblk1p21.img" that would be what I'm looking for. Thank you in advance.
Edit ... If a mod wants to move this to general droid 3 I would also be greatful, too many windows open and too many hours messing with this lol. Apologies
Edit 2: ty Danifunker for an helping me w/my broken command, I thought dd would take a directory as input for this lol. Hope you're able to figure out your posting problem .

Thanks for replying. I knew I should have given more information, darn it! I have a rooted i957 LTE that has a really ugly Telus boot screen, Since I don't plan on using this tab for data with AT&T or Telus, I'd like to just get a Samsung (or a generic android) boot animation. I've found some other boot animations in different forums, but I thought that the 7310 would be my best bet because the resolution should be correct without any tweaking. I've seen people posting links to boot files in the past and was hoping someone could do the same with the 7310. Thanks again for your reply.

Here's the situation. I am using the DannoRom_2xx. His Rom has the two qmg files in question located in system>media. I have tried replacing those files with other qmg animation files and they don't seem to want to be replaced. Do I need to replace the files in the ROM and then re-flash the ROM? Actually, I did accomplish part of what I wanted to do (although I'm not sure how I did it.) I did get rid of the Telus screen so now I just have a black screen while my tab is booting. Obviously this is not an urgent problem, I'm just determined to figure out how to do this. It was much easier using zip files on the Nook Color last year. Thanks for trying to help.

How did you try to replace them?
The /system file-system is mounted read-only. It needs to be re-mounted read-write before you can modify it. And then re-mounted read-only in the interest of safety.

Even after setting system permissions to R/W, this is the message I get when I try to move or replace those QMG files that are located in system.

Hmmm. There is another explanation (other than not being rooted, which you already seem to be).
Is the /system/media a distinct file-system? Or a symlink?
(I don't believe the i957 is that different, though)
What does the mount or df command say?
And 'ls -ld /system/media' ?
Also, have you tried doing the mv/cp using adb?

Okay, I surrender! I am not afraid to admit that I am apparently in over my head. I just wanted to replace the current QMG files with some others,and it looks like I have ventured into, what is for me, unchartered territory. I have used ADB in the past, but I don't think I know enough to be really comfortable with it. Samsung's proprietary animation files are way beyond my ability to deal with. I'll be following this thread to see if someone out there who is much more knowledgeable than I, comes up with a procedure that I can understand and actually implement.
Thanks to any and all who have tried to help me solve this problem.

Easy for you to say. Sorry if this offends. Please tell me what I should do in this circumstance. Your most recent response is way over my head. I gave as much information that I could come up with. Other than that, what would you have me do. Should I pretend that I know what you are talking about, or should I acknowledge that this thread has moved beyond my ability to understand. I was hoping to find someone with some recognition of the problems I was dealing with. Obviously not something you have experienced for yourself. I tried everything that was suggested until I got to this last post which made absolutely no sense to me. Of course I can google until the cows come home, and I probably will, trying to figure out what all of the references you made actually mean. I really am sorry if I led anyone to believe that I knew and understood more than I do. I come from the earlier XDA threads for the Nook Color which was a very special place for all of us newcomers who were so excited about learning what we could do. It has been all too obvious that those Nook Color forums were the not the norm. I have managed to work my through a few other android products: the touchpad, the nexus s, and the galaxy 7.7. All rooted with help fro XDA. The 8.9 doesn't seem to have the same interest and dedication that some of the other forums have. Sorry to have been a distraction.

If you'd simply said ^^^^ this ^^^^ before, I'd have said:
"Download a terminal app from the store and run the commands I mentioned before."
and then I wouldn't have thrown away the update.zip I had prepared for you.
