[Q] IMG Files of Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery readable in PC?

---

Hi,

I am wondering if there might be a way reading the backups made with "Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery" on a PC, i.e. mounting it as a loop image in Linux or with IMDisk under Windows? I've been searching for a while already but I could not find any info about it.

CU,
Mészi.

Update...

# losetup /dev/loop1 data.img
# fdisk -l /dev/loop1

Disk /dev/loop1: 516 MB, 516592640 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 62 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xffffffff

Disk /dev/loop1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Ok, the IMG file is no disk image. But what is it?

It is a YAFFS image. I use unyaffs or dsixda's Kitchen to extract it, and mkyaffsimage (I cant find the link, but you'll have to compile it yourself) to repack (I never tested this one).
Just on Linux... for Windows I don't know a working method.
