Admin,
I have question on dump files. I have extracted 4 files from the G3. boot.img, bootloader.img, recovery.img and system.taz. They all 4 total 203MG, I extracted the system.taz with winzip and it IS a lot of my files including my apks. QUESTION..... how to I convert these to a file for Live suite to Use? If these files are correct, I will have to do a restore and extract them again as from what I can tell this is an exact copy of my files in the system.taz, including all my stuff and probably some of my personal information. Can you help me with this, maybe we can get a restore image for those that need it.Isa

I believe the data partition is the only one with personal information, please correct me if I am wrong.

 

To create a image.img file that is compatible with livesuite you will need to use a10_flash_kitchen_v2, since you already have the images it should be pretty easy

 

Here is the kitchen zip

(Quoted from xda-dev) link at the bottom

If you have initialized the kitchen, you have to copy the four files from linux (system.img, root.img, recovery.img and bImage) inside the _input directory. You will also need to rename the .img files to .fex (so they should be system.fex, root.fex, recovery.fex).
If you are done with this, then run create_image.bat. It will create an output.img file, that can be flashed to the device using LiveSuite.

OK well, with other restore imgs, it restores all your apks and gmail with your user name and password ...just like it is when you make the image. I don't have a BImage file. I have kitchen v2 for ICS , put the 4 files that I have in input with each changed to .fex ....ran it and got 3 files boot,bootloader,recovery each about 4kb, so know that's not right. Tried several times same results. Was hoping for info on BImage file. I read instructions for getting it but didn't understand it. Plus used another dump.bat to extract those images as couldn't get the ones to work in the thread you posted.

Had an annoying error trying to pull bootfs -

 

"pull /bootfs/??? boot.axf -> ??? boot.axf"

at the end of the bootfs steps yields "can't create ??? boot.axf no such file or directory" (syntax error on file name)

 

Did you come across this error?  Steps to resolve?

 

On a side note I feel like we're making real progress on getting a backup ROM prepared.  One of us is going to stumble on it in the next few days, then it's only time until CM9 🙂

I couldn't ever get their extract.bat to work, or pull/ bootfs . That's why I used another 2dump.bat, it worked but don't know how to assemble for live suite. Do you know the commands for abd? I have tried several and they don't work either

Which commands?  Can you link to this program when you get a chance?

adb command to pull image file. Sorry wasn't thinking
