Hi guys,
I've mounted the VHD extract from WP8 SDK and tried to modify BCD-MW with easyBCD . But I can't write the modification back to the mounted partition , it seems mounted read only . My question is how to mount the VHD read write ? Many thanks!!!

Hi all!
Does a vanilla CM6.1.1 install mount the ext partition of the sdcard, if present?
If not, which file should I edit in system/etc/init.d, and with what?
Many thanks for your help!
I'm using only A2SD script
The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to use Link2SD, and I think that it doesn't mount the ext partition on boot, it expects that it is already mounted.
As the title is it possible to mount the image Clockwork (nandroid?) .img files make. I have tested with deamon tools without any luck. Would be really great if someone could help me with this, i want to llok for files inside it.
Try renaming it to .Zip and open the archive

Not working
I was just wondering about the same thing, about how to mount the nandroid backup.
I have tried to rename the extension from .img to .zip, but Windows (winrar in my case) won't read the file.
Are there any other solutions on how to extract data from the backup under a Windows environment, or do I have to fire up a virtual linux machine to get my data?
They aren't archives, so WinZip/RAR isn't going to be able to handle them. You can mount them in Linux though.
Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'll do that then.
One last question: Are special tools required for mounting in linux? Or are there native support for the nandroid backup in linux?
It's all built in, Linux would be quite useless if it was unable to mount an EXT3/4 file system
I think the command (assuming EXT3 backup) is:
Code:
mount -t ext3 system.img /path/to/mount/folder -o loop
LOL, didn't realize that it was ext3/4. -I had an idea of that it was compressed to some special format.
Thanks again Rusty and thanks for the command.
are the images ext3 even though the system is yaffs2?
Just a thought, wouldn't it be possible (for us windows users) to mount the img files in android, then adb pull the files from the phone?
System isn't YAFFS on these, it's EXT3 or EXT4 if on MCR.
I haven't find any posts regarding the mounting filesystems in android (excl. posts with int2ext mods).
Does anyone tried to mount filesystems inside the root tree of the system?
What I have in mind is to mount partitions, which are located on sdcard or mount disks shared with my NAS.
I don't want to do it with 3rd apps, but there is no fstab file in the /etc like in any other *unixes, so my first guess was not correct.
I'm attempting to format my external sdcard to ext2, just one single partition (no apps2sd magic).
The reasons are to have the ability to store >4GB files on the card, faster read times, and not needing compatibility with any M$ systems/PCs/Junk, journaling (>ext2) is not needed.
At the moment, I'm running a CM based ROM (cyanfox) and will likely try this out on a moto/stock based ROM after.
Here is my progress so far :
I'm able to mount the SD manually, though with some hoops being involved. The bionic will not mount it automatically, and is constantly telling me that it is unsupported/empty/needs to be formatted in the storage menu, and a permanent notification.
In a terminal shell, I can mount the device (/dev/block/vold/179:97) by specifying the type only as ext4. This is definitely not ideal, but I get errors when the type is specified as ext2 or ext3. (error : mount: Operation not supported on transport endpoint ).
At the moment, I've made an init script to mount the sd at /storage/sdcard1 but this doesn't cause android to think that the actual sd is mounted properly (empty sd notification still exists). Though it is at least mounted.
And I have edited the fstab file at root to change the sd type from vfat to ext2, but this file rewrites itself at boot. Unfortunately I'm not able to set an immutable bit on the file.. (android is not a type writer).
The ext2 filesystem has been checked for errors, does have files written to it, and is able to be read/written to in android after manually mounting it. Android just insists on a fat partition though.
Any help/tips would be appreciated. I'll update this thread in case anyone else would like to apply this as well.
Also, if I'm missing something blatantly obvious, please let me know
Hello xda community and OP3(T) users!
In April I created an image of my f2fs /data partition according to this hint:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26967862/how-to-make-an-image-of-android-partition-to-your-pc
This was successful and a *.img file sized 53+ GB now resides safely and quietly on an external hard drive.
Now I want to mount as well explore it with my Linux laptop. ))
How do I do this? Which tools and commands are needed?
P.S.: in the past this partition was also encrypted and decrypted via a simple 3x3 pattern by TWRP as well as before a ROM boots....
