_Download this Zip file and extract it : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byybyd_nA78MRjJTdWVtaFVyaFU/view?usp=sharing
_Install Ext2Fsd and osfmount
_Now use WindowsLGFirmwareExtract to extract system.img from ZV9 TOT File ! (You have to Merge all system.img file after extract it to get the real one )
_Run Ext2Fsd and use osfmount to mount System.img in window (Uncheck Read-Only drive)
_Now you can mod this system.img and flash it through Send_command like ZV6!
Will this work for ZVA or is it ZV9 only?
Yes

it will work for all system.img but we dont have ZVA TOT
Really the only point of this would be to debloat the system, or install apks to system. Not much else you could do though.

How do you install apks as system because i really want to install nova launcher on this probably distrubute it also and debloat it
Would this even work? Wouldn't modifying the system.img change the checksums. which would be caught by our locked bootloader and cause boot issues? Hence same reason we can't use send_command root injection?
we can delete and add app to system.img but have to set right permission !
i have modded init.qcom.post_boot.sh file in etc to set that in boot !

You just inject it to /system/app and set permissions to 0644.
can this be used to inject root ?

Isn't there a way to dd/extract system.img from ZVA phone?
Root dont work !
I have wrong somewhere so can't active root !
I think we can extract system ZVA by dd but can copy it to PC ? (LG Secure ?)
But we can up back to ZV6 and copy it with root ?

But root files are there? This is great news, it means we just have to figure out what files should go where for proper Marshmallow root. Maybe looking at custom rooted ROM?
do you think install script from supersu for Marshmallow can be called from init.qcom.post_boot.sh ?

I thought dm-verity protects partition, so if the root files are there and it's not complaining on boot, dm-verity is not an issue.
But the more i am reading the more it looks like you can't root marshmallow without unlocked bootloader
I checked there are no files with that I manually added them let see if my thing boots if not ah well

Hey,
Has anyone been able to get polaris office to work on their xoom? I installed it and was able to view one document before the force closes started raining down. Now everytime I try to open it I receive a forceclose.
Just wonderin if anyone else had any better luck?
I have it working

You need to copy over the app it self to /system/app and copy over the lib files to /system/lib then you have to change their permissions then reboot in order to get them to work. I mean change both the app permissions and the lib files permissions.

That's a negative
As I said, I tried it on my rooted Xoom, but also on my non rooted... no need to copy over the lib files.... thus, there's no lib files in the link I quoted, just the *.apk, and it's enough
Worked like a charm like any other apk...
I think there must be different apk floating around then because without a doubt as I have done this on my rooted Xoom and helped a number of others they ALL forced closed when you tried to open any doc new or old. Then you install the two *.so lib files into system/lib. After that everything work perfectly. I and others I helped were all rooted and were using root explorer to move files etc.
Tochiro is the only person I have seen that only had to install just the apk. without getting fc. I can only think there must be dif apk or some how ended up with those files in the system/lib folder other than manually moving them there.
As I said, I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17935619
At first I tried with the apk from my Galaxy S2 on my rooted Xoom using the lib files tip, but it wasn't working
With the link up here, I installed Polaris on a Xoom with Tiamat rom, and on another one (non rooted) with Android 3.2 (firm GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTFR_P014)
From now, I just tried quickly with some pdf files and xlsx xls files, but everything was fine

Guys I was just experimenting with these two ROMS and i found a FIX for Wi-Fi. on The Illuminated Rom( By the Kid). The problem lies in the "data" folder of Rom.zip file.
Steps for fix:
1. Open rom.zip and delete the data folder from the zip file.
2. Add the data folder of which i am giving you the link below, in that rom.zip.
3. Flash it.
Probably due to the wifi customizations made in the data folder previously, it was not working. but it worked for me.!
And also The i found out that in XperiAOSP by the KId, the settings.odex file is present in the system/app/ folder. I think that maybe the problem. it should be deodexed. And try this wifi fix on that also. the files are the same.
Link for data folder https*//drive*google*com/file/d/0B6Yp9LLnb7apN01sQlNfZS0waG8/view?usp=sharing
i have given data.rar . Extract it to get data folder
Sorry for interfering with your files, Ramdenes, The kid
it doesn't working
the download link that you give don't have a folder, but a file without any size
and because it's my first time flashing a custom rom i want to get it right.

That is the point. i created it(the file) using Android kitchen. if you have just downloaded the file.Then make a folder, "data". Open it. Create another, "local" and place that file into it. OR you can just download the data folder i provided.
It worked for me.! Without a problem.
got it
but where is the download link for the full data folder,
i can't found it :s ^^

hello! I had a request for anyone running stock odexed firmware (.291)
Can you pull the system folder for that version and upload it for me? Thanks!
Edit: with odex files pls!
P.s. I need the untouched version without root. Thanks!
HERE are stock ftf firmwares. Choose one and download it.
Rename *.ftf to *.zip and extract a file system.sin using 7zip.
Open Flashtool, use function "Sin Editor" to convert system.sin -> system.ext4. Then use this to "save" /system folder.
There are some files *.sqsh that contain .odex files. this sqsh file link to odex file of the app. Use 7zip 16.04 to extract *.sqsh file, you will see odex files
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
Eg: odex.app.sqsh contains all odex of /app folder.
Extract sqsh file and copy odex file to folder (ex: copy AnonymousData.odex to /app/AnonymousData/oat/arm/, then you have stock AnonymousData apk with odex file . )

Hope this can help you .
If you want to fully deodex your system, there are 2 more sqsh files. /system/etc/product/ and /system/etc/customizations/.
and there are 2 more odexed app with odex file: /system/vendor/app/ims/ & /system/vendor/app/ChromeCustomizations/
-----------------
There are symlinks between /system/$app/*app_name*/oat/arm/ and odex.$apk.sqsh/arm/*app_name*.odex
So the odex file show in folder is a shortcut from sqsh file. Sony made this

Hi all,
After upgrade to 7.2.32 via OTA, after instal system, I only can access system file, but I can't delete file on system folder.
SuperSU 100% installed
Any suggestion to solve my problem?
I can modify other folder except /system
Application that can access and modify system :
Root Explorer
ES FIle Explorer
Application that cannot acces and modify system :
AdAway
X-plore ( lonely cat )
Note :
I have been flashed my device with SP Flash Tool metod with "Format + Download " with latest 7.2.32 ROM
I try too with flashed my device using SP Flash Tool metod with 8.0.3
Use Meta2 to restore My IMEI and MEID
Still didn't solve my problem
Even I am experiencing the same issue.

I fixed this by installing an order version of super su via twrp.
I needed to create a folder inside a system folder. Couldn't do it with either ES Explorer or X-plore. Root Explorer was the only app that did it.
I have the default root that comes with LineageOS
Found in firmware Finder.. It seems to be for P30 Pro.
http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G4705/g1755/v304788/f1/full/update_full_base.zip
I want to extract it so I can get apks such as the launcher or camera app. I have managed to extract UPDATE.APP and I saw inside a file called SUPER. img which I suppose is equivalent to the usual system.img however I can't extract it. I tried different tools but I failed.
Does anyone know how to unpack that SUPER.img file?

Hi m8, even if you manage to unzip the SUPER.img file (you can try with 7zip, maybe it will work, don't bet on it) you can't install those apk's on EMUI 9.1, because they are different.
On EMUI 10 you can push those apk's (and camera libs folders) only if you're rooted and have bootloader unlocked.
Later edit: or you can rename it to system.img and try using this tool. Ignore, the tool is not available anymore

I still have hopes as based on my experience not always the system app are only restricted to the new Android SDK. So maybe those two apks will be compatible with android P SDK or can easily be modes to make them compatible
However I didn't find a way to unpack SUPER.img despite trying different methods..
