[Q] can anyone make a flashable zip of /system(deodexed)?

i want the old lockscreen back, so i tested xperialockscreen.apk from .136 firmware ....not my best idea ^^ now systemui fc´s.
so can anyone make flashable zip of .757 firmware (deodexed/or just a zip from /system) ?
or just post the whole /system folder from .757 firmware?
thanks in advance and a big sorry for my bad english
There are several in the development section
But what you want to do is delete that file using adb, saves replacing a whole system for the sake of deleting one file
OR
restore the backup you made before you started messing with system files....

Yes building a rom is pretty much the same across all htc devices
getting the updater-script correct is the tricky part

Sorry to come again..
I download Kitchen by Dsixda to try. I download the rooted twrp backup and I put the file in the folder in the kitchen directory.
But kitchen say the files of the backup doesn't match and so it don't see any ROM...
The backup is composed with 3 files :
recovery.log
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win001
Thanks a lot..

Here
--- Go ahead and make a copy of your boot and system backup and paste them in the original_update folder which can be found in the kitchen directory. From a 'TWRP backup' the boot.img will be originally named boot.emmc.win and the system.img will originally be named system.ext4.win. Go ahead and change them respectively to boot.img and system.img (It is that easy).

Oh okayyyy, so I have to download the stock rom rooted (this http://goo.gl/zN5ARs) for the system.img
And the stock kernel (this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712462443) to rename in boot.img ?
I need to put stock recovery and firmware or it's not necessary ?

Extracting system.img

I've been a member of the Galaxy S3, S4, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and now I'm proud member of the Galaxy S6 Gcommunity..
I'm a modder and I have been having a lot of trouble with decompiling and extracting the system.img..
All my old methods will not work like ext4_unpacker...
I've been looking at youtube videos among other things and came up empty..
All I need is a point in the right direction and I can do the rest..
BTW I have the Samsung G920T 128 gig model..
I've tried so many old methods, this is a new device.. I'm likely to be ignored...
But I'd appreciate the help
I dont know much about that stuff but have seen this mentioned before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tool-deodex-tool-android-l-t2972025

If you don't mind me asking, @thes1ckness what tool do you use to pull a system dump from system.img for s6 firmwares?
As op said I can't seem to find the common method for doing this nowadays.

You use Winrar to zip it up with the appropriate file structure and flash in recovery. That's if you extracted files from the image.
For a tar, follow this....

For remaking system.img you do need make_ext4fs:
make_ext4fs -s -S file_contexts -l <system size> -a system system.img /directory/to/system/folder
System size can be found by dh command
File_contexts should be extracted from kernel ramdisk

How to convert boot.bin into boot.img??

I'm unable to figure out how to convert the boot.bin file I extracted from the firmware.kdz file. Magic iso won't convert the bin file to img file. So do I just change the extension from .bin to .img? Something tells me it's not that simple.
Btw I'm asking because I'm trying to build a rom. So I'm gonna need this boot.img to be able to boot in my rom. Any help is appreciated.
Or if someone could point me in the right direction for pulling the boot.img from my phone with adb, that would work too. All the guides I found are for different devices with different partition names. And a lot of the commands aren't working for me.

Did it work, or not? I have the same question.
If you have root you can use app 'Partitions Backup & Restore' by Wanam from app store to pull any partition from your phone.

Question How to unpack .img.lz4 files?

I've been looking through a couple of xda thread about it, found a few solutions. I managed to unpack from the .tar file, got the img.lz4 file and from that the .img and from .img to .img.ext4, but the .ext4 file is too small compared to the original .img file, so I guess the older SVAImgUnpack doesnt do the job correctly and can't open it with ext2explore. Is there any other software to use for this?
Nevermind, I've found a program for it.
