pls help

FileSwap.com : META-INF.zip download free

This meta-inf i used in my custom ROM without kernel i guess.. so remove

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

and if u need help let me know

another META-INF which probably works for everything
just need to edit little
FileSwap.com : META-INF.zip download free

vaibhav let me know =)

thx

i too downloaded from there but version 2.it should work try some other extracting software

Hi
Which extracting software did you used?
For system.img

 

[dj6283]

Hi
Which extracting software did you used?
For system.img

i used winrar

 

[vaibhavcoolm]

It will not extract with winrar
You have to use another software called unyaffs.exe
download here :
unyaffs.rar

extract it and put system.img in the same folder
It works 100% on nandroid backup you can find system.img after doing nandroid backup. Go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backup name/system.yaffs.img
copy that and put it in same folder where u put unyaffs.exe go to cmd and navigate to your folder let our folder be in F:/vaibhav/
go to cmd and type cd F:/vaibhav/ and enter then enter unyaffs.exe system.yaffs.img and it will extract system.img caontents...
I think it will not work on stock rom which we have obtained from micromax ftp server but using clockworkmod backup it will definately work for you..
Please like if it worked for u..

hey guys I have make an flashable zip file for you to root your phone..
download here :
update.zip

No need of doing complicated steps and no pc is required for this...
Its easy as 1,2,3....

go to stock recovery or cwm recovery by pressing
vol up + home key + power
If you do not see options in stock recovery then press home button once and u will be able to see the options...
go to apply update from sd card and select the update.zip from your sd card you have downloaded from the above link and volia you are rooted with busybox latest su binary and latest version of superuser...
please like it if it worked for you..
I will not be responsible for bricked devices....

[dhruvanshu]

Always use softwares like 7-ZIP
better than winrar

 

[vaibhavcoolm]

Guys if u want to extract system.img u can follow my post #266...winrar and 7zip will not work...
