I have decided to create this tread to have a complete index so to speak of all the MBN files that Mur4ik's Bootloader Builder Creates so heres the complete list
Installation Instructions:
To Flash you need to make sure you have the correct size to flash the mbn file for example if you have a system size of 90Mb and never put applications on the system partition then the 100Mb to 284Mb mbn file will work on you phone i always follow this rule make sure the mbn file is atleast 10Mb higher than your current system partition for example if your system size is currently 120Mb flash the 130Mb Partiton MBN.
I have tested this and from my test i did not need to do factory reset for the partition changes to be accepted so just flash the file and all is well now how to flash it very easy just download the one you want and download the installer below and place your mbn file into the MBN folder once done that launch the install.bat and let it do its magic
AND AS ALWAY I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES

hey its pash! i think its been awhile since you last logged in ...
180Mb : 204Mb is the optimal one, most ROMs will clearly fit (including SDSL, which is storage dependant) on your device without resizing in future, leaving you still a lot of space for your apps. I have this setup and its enough for having most important apps installed on internal storage for me.
Hey! @eoghan2t7
Your installer it's not working well... It can't find mbn files... To solve that problem you should replace the line:
files\fastboot flash APPSBL \MBN\*.mbn
for this other one:
files\fastboot flash APPSBL MBN\*.mbn
should my fastboot mode now look like this??? :L

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!

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.

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.
LG BIN/TOT Extractor
This is a tool for extracting LG Bin/Tot Firmware files.
I update the git a lot more than what I update the thread so check there for latest news.
Features
Split Bin file into relevant partitions
Split Tot file into relevant blocks and merge blocks into partitions
Display AP Header
Display GPT Header
Extract Header from Bin/Tot File
Features I like to implement (and probably won't get around to)
Extracting boot img (The tools currently available don't work in all cases and it's very easy to read the header since it's open source.)
Extracting ext4 partitions. So that it's easy to access the file. Theres already other tools that can do this so this isn't essential.
Mergeing tot partitions based on data from partitions itself and not GPT
Inject Alternate Data into partitions. I'll block access to X-loader,U-boot and GPT so that You can't kill your phone.
Source
https://github.com/Xonar/LGBinExtractor
Confirmed to work with
Quite a few phones.
I lost track of which ones work.
To check just run with -daph. You'll get file information if it works and either garbled data or an error message if it doesn't.
If your phones not supported follow the steps on git readme.
Thanks
SnowLeopardJB - for lots and lots of testing
navossoc - his tool that extracts kdz and wdb files

scotty755 - LGL22 support

If you feel I forgot to thank you, msg me and I'll add you.
If it can extract BIN files then yes. We believe the nandroid V30* of KU5900 that was supplied was incomplete. So If KDZ is converted to BIN and FLS (which we can), then extract contents of BIN, then you can have complete files without looking for Koreans and Chinese to relay that the nandroid was incomplete and can have untampered files.

Is a tool like this allowed or would it be considered reverse engineering? (If its not allowed I'm going to stop IMMEDIATELY)
Click to expand...

Yes I will. If I myself can build a program to extract this EFI partition..
It is reverse engineering, but I don't know if it's legal or not (in this case), but for me it's legal as I'm considered this to educational purpose
Many others tool was created to have purpose like this, for example http://psas.revskills.de/?q=node/5

I've attached an image of the system partition of the V20E_00 for you guys to see.
I am going to download the v30H_00.kdz today. So I'll keep you posted about how the extracting goes. I probably won't have time to check it out until the weekend so please don't hold your breath.
I've only recently managed to find the necessary information about the ext4 file system to integrate the functionality into my tool. For now Ext2Read can extract the ext4 file system just fine. I'll add that somewhere over the weekend (Provided something doesn't come up).
Could you as soon, as you are able to unpack it fully maybe upload a complete backup of the system partition and also system2, cause we think, that in the nandroid there are some files missing and we need those, to probably be able to boot that system. Great job btw
Thanks for the positive feedback.
I am getting the v30h_00.kdz in a few hours (I got a friend to download it for me, I don't have that much cap ).
There is no way I will be able to upload the file since it will be big but if it works I'll post the tool and how to do it.
GitHub is giving me an error : "Page did not respond in a timely fashion". I am going to try again tonight to post the source.
I already tried to extract the bin files, but I didn't see any pattern to know where start or ends a partition.
Some partitions you can identify by it's header and try to extract the file size from there (i did that with recovery.exe).
If you know for sure the partition name and the address, I can improve the recovery.exe to patch always the right partition.
So, what is the trick?

The first meg of the file contains the names of the data blocks size on file,size on disk and where they start on file. I'll post exactly how it is set out later.
The data blocks aren't only partitions though for example the first one is the GPT header with it's corresponding entries and also some blocks are empty.
I recognized the start the two partitions from your tool.

You are talking about the first 1MB from BIN? right?
They are using little endian or big endian to represent the numbers?

Source of Bin Fls Extractor (So far)
GitHub isn't working out as planned. The client stopped downloading in the middle and I don't want to waste more cap so here is the source as an attachment.
This is still a work in progress and is only confirmed to work with v20E_00 South Africa.
Linux users can just mount the *.img file of system to access it. Windows users have to use a tool like Ext2Read. Mac users I'm not sure : Google it.
EDIT : I wont be able to get the v30 kdz for another day unfortunately. Feel free to try and change my tool to work with it.
EDIT2: These sources are old. I'll upload my fixed ones later. Reads in chunks and works on P970 and KU5900 ( I don't have any other files to test it with but it should work with almost all BIN files extracted from kdz files )

That's good news.
I won't be able to work on the program during the rest of this week. With the system files extracted there's nothing that needs to be urgently done.
Next Step is to to try and build the BIN from other files. I think I can improve on your recovery.exe to add su binary and apk aswel (Might take a bit longer since I need to extract the ext4 partition, add su then put it back together )
Well, it's just a beta, because it use too much ram to write the files.
I need to read the file in chunks, but, for now it's a good prototype, we can using it.
extract.7z
Code:
CRC32: 2199d10f
MD5: 5b8d8031ff5d66ec2832d182e98505be
SHA-1: b6d729a20d4370e25ebc4eddfc27e25673b1d2f2
To use the tool is just run...
Code:
extract.exe filename_AP.bin
It should work on any bin file, tested on P920, P970 and KU5900.
Please report any error.

Im pretty sure that you should not do that!
Why are the the 2 Ste_boot. imgs being flashed to the same location? or there in the first place?
From the info you posted above it seems like the Partitions are pretty much messed up.
If you cant get into download mode then there is no way you can fix it.

Do not format your device with any tools if you don't know what they do.
The device has a single flash chip, repartitioned into several Partitions, if you attempt to format you will format the partition table, then the device will require a new motherboard.
Those 3 files are separate partitions instead of one tar, quite common in other devices.
I would try to repackge the original images into separated tars,something like this....
boot.img as boot.tar
modem bin as phone.tar
cache.image as csc.tar
system.img and all remaning .img files, as pda.tar
then flash the all together via odin with repartition.

i will make tomorrow as soon once i have time, problem is my upload speeds are atrocious .like 6 hours to upload 500mb.
Been looking around and I cannot get info(or I may have missed it) on how to convert system.sin to system.img.
The reason I want the system.img is I'd like to try deodexing my own JB(HKversion) stock rom.
how can I manage it in dsixda's kitchen, it says I need a system.img or either one of the following:
The format for each ROM must be one of the following:
- system.img + optional boot.img/lib.img (e.g. stock ROM or Nandroid)
- ZIP file for a custom ROM (e.g. update.zip)
- ZIP file containing *.img (e.g. stock rom.zip)
- ZIP file containing shipped ROM in SYSTEM + BOOT folder format
- Working folder made with this kitchen (e.g. WORKING_old_rom)
What I've already done so far was pulled out the system.sin from an FTF and made it system.ext4 in flashtool. And I also have extracted all the system files but I don't know how to go from here LoL.
Thanks in advance for any inputs guys.

Just rename it.
That works if you want to use system.sin in dsixdas kitchen to make your own rom.
The instructions say to rename system.sin to system.img
PS, in fact you can just use system.sin, check in the first post for supported devices, it tlks about what to do for sony phones

- If using stock FTF for kitchen:
1) Unzip FTF file, extract the system.sin
2) Dump system image from system.sin w/ Flashtool
(Advanced-> SIN Editor)
3) Rename dumped file to system.img
mate, I tried renaming it and put it on "original_update" folder but still the file cannot be detected I still cannot create a working folder and says
CREATE WORKING FOLDER FOR ROM
==============================
Ensure there is at least one ROM under the 'original_update' folder!
Select an option:
s - Show supported formats
x - Abort, don't create working folder
Or press Enter to continue
?
I also tried renaming the flashtool's dumped data(system.ext4) to system.img but still to no avail.
Any other way aside from system.img thing?

No, it doesnt matter, I did it with that setup, but its much easier with a ubuntu dual boot.
What you did should work.
Extract system.sin
Dump it with flash tool to get system.ext4, rename to system.img and put in original input folder.
then choose create working folder....
try it again,

thanks mate, after I re-do the dump-data in flashtool, now system.img(renamed from system.ext4) can be detected
got another question again, just to confirm what's the API level? is it 16 for Android 4.1.2? coz I only see 4.1.1 for level 16

if you have the latest version of everything it should be OK.
Just give it a go and see...
I used the same setup I have for my latest release as I did for my original ICS release, so the api level should be OK
EDIT
I do love your sig pic, where did you get it from? Or did you make it yourself?

ok I used 16, another question , what will I do to the one file that was never deodexed? it is the playstationcertified.odex
Could not deodex the following (you can try to deodex these files again):
playstationcertified.odex
A summary of the deodexing has been logged in deodex_040813_020606.log
71 *.odex files remain in system/app
1 *.odex files remain in system/framework

I have always just left it in for my releases, but seeing as I dont use it, i have personally deleted both the file and the odex file.
I think its the same for all stock based roms...there will be some aditional sony security on that file as it enables you to download sony play station games so the kitchen is not set up to integrate the odex file into the original one.

oh ok.
mate, apologies for many questions, this is my first try so I'm still confuse of many things
so after I de-odexed, what's next?
> ADVANCED OPTIONS
11 - De-odex files in your ROM
12 - Tools for boot image (unpack/re-pack/etc.)
13 - Add /data/app functionality
14 - Add /etc/init.d scripts support (busybox run-parts)
15 - Unpack data.img
16 - Sign APK or ZIP file(s)
17 - Convert update-script or updater-script
18 - Plugin scripts
99 - Build ROM from working folder
0 - BACK TO MAIN MENU
basically I only want a deodexed ROM and the CWM and root retained

What do you want to do?
You cant do (12) use championshipswimmers kernel kitchen for that.
But i do suggest adding 14, and rooting it (thats in the main menu)
also, zipalign apks...but it will ask you to do that when you compile it
Other than that its up to you. Just try some different options out and see what you think...thats the best way to learn, if you see my releases, the first two versions were not released because I was learning and playing around with it
Make sure though that you dont use the updater script it produces, its wrong for our phones.
"Borrow" one from a working ROM in our dev section, just ask permission first.

ok mates, thank you very much, I managed to de-odexed my stock ROM:good:
This is what I did. Using flashtool, I dumped my system.sin file to get a ext4 file. Then I open it with ext4 reader and extracted the contents. I then placed it in a folder called 'system' and proceed with the android kitchen.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.
If you still want to deodex playstationcertified.odex rename it to com.playstation.playstationcertified.odex.
That did the trick for me in earlier firmware versions.

I have used winRAR to break the rom into parts. Yes u will see that there are two system.IMG but in reality there is only one system.IMG file. You donot have to extract all parts. Just extract part1 zip and it will automatically extract other parts. Note : you should have all the parts in one folder in order to extract rom otherwise it will show error
