if you wanna extract something from them then use nandroid browser and next time ask your question in Q&A forum
Maybe Yaffs Explorer can help you. Find it on playstore

hi
I have original 2.1 (eclair mod ) installed in my milestone
and i want to customize it ( change status bar, add and remove apps.......)
without installing new custom rom.
so can any help me how to do this ?
thanks in advance
i use 7-Zip to open .apk then you can edit/replace file in apk file
to change or edit .9.png file you need other program like 9patch or draw9patch to save in good format.
the main file to edit is framework-res.apk practically all theme is in that file
all system file does not need signing but all other should be sign before you put back in phone and don't forget to zipaling all file that you touch/edit.
many tutorial are available on the net on how to theme android for more in deep detail.
thanks a lot

well first do a nandroid backup of your rom then copy to pc, now extract system.img with unyaffs.
then you have all system file of your rom to play with.
after all your change copy file to sdcard/openrecovery/update/test-update-nosign.zip, don't forget to remove babble
i am using OpenRecovery_v1_46
hope it help

look for unyaffs.exe
then in a cmd windows type: unyaffs system.img
thank you so much
I've done it and i hope it works
but regarding the nandroid backup there are another files like
boot,bpsw,data.img........
are these files important in making custom rom?
thanks again
Hi,
I'm trying to install custom roms on my Milestone and have hit a brick wall.
I've looked at and followed the Instructions threads (rooted & did a nandroid backup) and they refer to having to apply an "update.zip" file in Open Recovery to actually get the cutom rom. Problem is that I've downloaded both CM7 and Miui rom files but when I unzip them they don't have an update.zip file in them.
They just have the following
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img (img file)
Question is... How do I flash these files to apply the custom rom?
(Can't ask questions in the development part of the forum as I don't have 10 posts yet)
Thanks
anyone?

well, just know it from xrecovery (come from the x10 mini pro) and AFAIK the zip you extracted already was the update.zip - rename downloaded zipfile to update.zip, then flash it
k thanks dude.

the file does not need to be called update.zip. it is a generic term for the format of "update"
simply put the CM7 zip file in the openrecovery\updates folder subfolder of your sdcard.
you should then be able to see the file in the update menu of your recovery.

I haven't used CWM in ages, but up to version 6.0.4.6, the backup location used to be /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
not sure if it was ever updated to /data/media/0/...
extract the .rar file on your PC, it will give you a folder called similar to "2013-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss" place it in your adb folder then push it:
adb push 2013-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/2013-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss <- replace mm, dd etc. to what the download gave you
in recovery select RESTORE, it should show you the above backup, so select "2013-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss" and restore it.
Thanks for you reply nkk71,
I've exact the file but got a folder called 2013-04-30.10.59.31 without SS.
Can I add the ss as the file type and push it into backup folder on the phone?

Download a valid update.zip to
use as a template - for example,
my CyanogenMod 0.7.
Extract the zip to a new folder and
rename it - let's call the folder
updatezip .
Inside the updatezip folder, delete
the system folder and boot.img
file (as these are the
CyanogenMod files that you don't
want).
For the ROM you want to convert,
extract the contents of its
system.rfs image to a new folder
called system.
Copy this new system folder to the
updatezip folder.
Copy the boot.img file from your
ROM to the updatezip folder.
Re-zip the contents of the
updatezip folder (but not the
updatezip folder itself). If you see
warnings about symlinks not
being added, don't worry - we
don't want to add them anyway.
You need to have some Linux shell
experience in order to do this. You
can't do it from Windows.
