I am looking to extract the files from the factory images.
Specifically the bootloader.img file and radio.img file.
I've looked everywhere I can think to figure it out and it will not mount no matter what I try.
I am running Ubuntu as my daily so linux tools are very welcome.
Just looking to learn what I can. I am new to the Nexus but not to dev work.
Thanks for your time
You are looking to get the bootloader and radio .imgs from the factory image download? Or you want to open the bootloader and radio.imgs to edit them?

Looking to open the bootloader.img and radio.imgs.
Thanks.
I am not sure what their formats are either ext4.img or yaffs, neither of which you can mou t that im aware of. There are tools i believe that can extract them, unyaffs/umyaffs2 or simg2img. There is also a possibility that they are encrypted and you won't be able to open them. I don't really have any experience with bootloaders or radios so I probably can't be much help.
Mind if I ask what your goal is by opening them?

just looking to examine them...curiosity.
Its my first nexus device.
you can mount an ext4.img in linux and simg2img wont do anything with it neither will yaffs
im not sure what the format is either.
I've been digging around all the files just to get familiar with them before I start to try to do any kind of work with it.
They are probably both encrypted. You won't need to do anything with either of those when working with Android on a nexus though

You can extract the bootloader by using the moto logo tool. I've used it to change splash (logo).

Thanks. I've seen that. And have known of the method.
I just need to make sure I extract all of the relevant files for the bootloader.
Thanks.
You won't find documentation for that anywhere, people who develop that must sign very heavy NDAs.
This is the justly closed source part of the phones.

Hello guys it's been a while since last time I enter this forum I came back because I need help unlocking an Exhibit sgh-t759.
I choose the method where you copy the nv_data file in the computer and that is where I'm stuck now.I have the file but don't know exactly where and what to look for.I can even send the file to someone who knows how to decipher the unlock code.Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to sim unlock my exhibit sgh-t759to use on a prepaid carrier I already rooted the phone and have the nv_data.bin file on my pc . Im supposed to get the code out of that file by using a text editor or a hex editor but I tried both but don't know what or where exactly that number is.
I've included(I think) the bin file so maybe one of you guys can take a look and help me unlock the phone.Thanks.

Ok that's what i got, I believe it should be an eight digit code so that eliminates most of that. The limit of trys you get to unlock is either 3 or 10 so... Hopefully i helped, good luck

I and I'm sure others are well aware of the law however the entire basis of the rule is under the pretence that you do not own the phone because it is under contract and each monthly installment will get you closer to actually owning the phone. I however bought this phone without a contract and android under the GPL licensing is open source therefore in my case I can unlock the phone (which tmobile all ready did for me). So on a superfluous layer I can see why you think it is illegal but it is not.

Do you know how to use fastboot?
Just get fastboot. (either from one of these toolkits or whatever , or from the android SDK)
Put the recovery file that u will download from here in the same folder that fastboot.exe is in
hold shift, right click anywhere in that folder (blank spot, not on the file) and click open command prompt. copy paste that command from Original post on there and hit enter....
Your phone has to be in fastboot mode obviously for this to work

And you might want dlto deoxed the liberarys I tried adding odexed NFC extra jar to my RAZR HD and it soft bricked but deodexed worked fine. Just a warning, in my case a lot of things could have caused that.

Download international rom on computer, unzip rom, drag files from this zip into the extracted rom, replace/add all, change mount points in updater-script(\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script), zip up newly ported rom, Flash.

You probably will always need to change partitions as the international ONE has different mount points. Just open the updater-script, and find all mentions of "mmcblk0p" and change the numbers after them to the ones for sprint in the op. Make sure you change all mentions of this! Don't want to write things to the wrong partitions.
Pulled this from DP4. Not sure if this will be the official bootanimation they go with but for now that's all I got to go on. This is not a flashable zip. So you'll need to copy and paste with a root browser apk to the appropriate location.
For those of you who don't know its in::::
system/media
1.----just rename the one that's there by adding " .BBB" all that does is make it unrecognizable by the system so it doesn't use it but if something goes wrong or you just want to change back its there to rename back to the original name.
2.----copy and paste this zip file from wherever you downloaded it, to system/media
3.----change permissions to rw-r--r--
4.----click the thanks button here.
5.----click your buddies thanks button. No not his,,,,hers.
6.----reboot and stare in amazement. Or however you slow motion stare at something.

It's not a boot animation, it's the new updating system animation to replace the old Android.

So basically if you're rooted you won't ever see it since you have to update via fastbooting factory images anyway.

Somewhat, yes. You can be rooted and still have stock recovery(why, I'll never know)

Can't you still take an OTA if you hide root and flash stock recovery?

All it requires is stock recovery, other devices may need removal of root

You welcome Google doesn't mind this stuff, unless it fully. They allow bootloader unlock and a bit of root. Check their support.

Can anyone tell me why I can't change permissions of the bootanimation.zip? I've used other boot logos on other devices and know how to change permissions but it won't let me do it here. Thanks
Feel embarrassed to ask but... How does one download this file on mobile? When I open the link it displays the file name, if I click the download icon it offers to open with Google Drive, and then immediately with ES Zip Explorer or FX.
Chrome

When I tap the download link in chrome it asks if I want to open with drive or with chrome. I choose chrome and bam, it's in my download folder.
