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 have currently Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 and have downloaded stock 2.1.1.C... ROM.But the file is compressed in .7z. I haven't rooted my phone neither recovery installed. Please tell me how can i update my phone?
You can't. Open the file and extract the .tft file (flash it via flashtool)
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
The .7z file contains system.img,data.img,cache.img and nandroid.md5. So I am confused! Recovery can only install .zip format.

Its a backup.
Extract the files in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/"make a folder here of whatever name you like and extract the contents in this folder"
now go to recovey->backup and restore->restore and you are done
use 7 zip pc software to extract it first....
Officially corp via w8

He is right...
Extract Rom files containing {system,kernel,etc} via "unrar" or "7zip" program from PC.
If your phone is rooted : put files in"clockworkmod/backup " folder.(cwm recovery) then restore from recovery place
Not rooted: dl flashtools app or se companion.
Using se-com is easy but in flashtools you have to put files in"framework"folder which is in the place where you install it.press lightening button in program and flash files.

Make sure you have followed guide properly, disable modem if you have it (i kept drivers from root method which doesnt have modem) and make sure Windows enabler is on. Log runs for a long time when I flash, about 15 minutes before it finally reboots

put the Firmware kdz in the "kdz-update" folder.
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" like if you were flashing the phone.
when you hit "upgrade" in the program, it will creat a temp .cab file like "V10x.cab" in the same folder "kdz-update", you need to be fast and select and copy (or drag&drop) that file to other location, desktop for example...
after you get the .cab, you just need to extract the .dz and .dll files with winrar, winzip, or other.

Can someone please send me a good link to a wind mobile kdz file
I need some help, I don't seem to be able to extract the sytem.sin, then I get a gZ archive witch I can't open with 7zip, annyone has a method that works? or a ext4 extractor?
extract system.sin from archive, then use flashtool and option sin editor, it will make .ext4 file...and last step use ext2explore-2.1.65 and open ext4 file

as our friend said, the procedure is that easy, and that was complete, just for making your burdun a bit lighter, this is link for that explorer you need at the last step
wish you luck bro
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext...xt2explore-2.1.65.zip/download?use_mirror=dfn
hoping to make a stock based rom for LT30p so we can keep the polished stock rom, with maybe some nexus look-a-like xp I'll see
No need for the ext2 explorer.
Once you have dumped the data in flash tool just use that ext4 file as the working file for your Rom in dsixdas kitchen
Sent whilst sat on the toilet.
I put the system.ext4 in the original update folder , but still get this: Ensure there is at least one ROM under the 'original_update' folder!

Make sure you read the instructions in the kitchen OP and post 2
Sony Xperia 2011-12 devices, specifically:
- TX, P, U, Sola
- Active, Arc, Arc S, Mini, Mini Pro, Neo, Neo V, Neo L,
Play, Ray (follow steps below):
- Can only build ROM without boot.img
- 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
- OR If using Nandroid backups: Rename system.yaffs2.img to system.img
- Use this system.img in kitchen's original_update folder
- WARNING - If using a ROM made from system.sin (not Nandroid), it
is recommended to flash from the temporary (fastboot) Clockwork
Recovery, rather than the regular Clockwork Recovery, otherwise
device may not boot (possibly because custom recovery files in
system folder are not added to ROM? e.g. recovery.tar).

Hello!
Is there any tool for windows 7 to extract, read, write EXT4 or .SIN files? Tried ext2extract tool but it can only extract, I need something that can read/write, anyway to do it? Or should I install linux for that?
Thanks
You can dump the system.sin (and other .sin files) to .ext4 using flashtool
Then you can use ext2explorer to read and extract individual files.
If you want to write a .sin....that going to be difficult. Unless you have signatures from Sony you wont be able to do it.

I'm trying to make prerooted FTF with preinstalled dual recovery, is that possible?
No, this is what you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307311
FTF's cannot be pre rooted or have anything added to them, unless you work for Sony and have their security keys
you need a pre rooted .zip file

Hi, I know that it is 3-year-old post but want to ask. So I've already unpacked ftf file and extracted system.sin file to .ext4. My question is I wanted to remove all that bloatware software I don't need or use so can I remove files directly from ext4 or first extract ext4 files repack it to .ext4 and then it to .sin . I know it's wishful thinking but wanted to know is this possible.
hi
can i add an old feature to the .ftf file?
with the flash tool last version i can't dumb the system.sin?
what the version flash tool compatible withe xz2 compact?
thanks in adevance
