Extract *.DAT files

Users, The extractor works with nought 7.0.0 and 7.1.1 perfectly (tested with CM14.1-2016-12-12 & aosp_7.0_2016-09-19), If you encounter errors then please install python and then try extracting again
Method I
  • Download and run the extractor .
METHOD II (command line)

Use python 2.7.xx

1. Download zip and extract sdat2img.py binary from the link

2. Create a folder "ext"

3. copy "sdat2img.py", "system.transfer.list" and "system.new.dat" to ext folder

4. Open cmd on "ext", (by selecting and holding shift , you will find "Open command window here")

5.Type this on command window

Code: 
python sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img

Repack *.DAT



/*Repack will or will not work, Don't panic if it not worked, You can still use folder =) */


For flashing xyz_ROM.zip with dat files , you need to modify updater-script

Script, "of some roms" , b'coz some roms contains a link b/w updateR-script

and system.transfer.list. The link includes following : There is a line in

updateR-script script called
Code: 
if range_sha1("/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "36,0,32770,......,307199") == "0b20303394271424267e36a0ce7573f1b62ddc0d" then
if you found this in

updateR-script then from here follow the guide Repack_INFO.txt otherwise

directly copy system.new.dat and system.transfer.list to ROM folder and

repack/zip it and flash it.

  • Repack ,select from script, then choose manually (option 1)
  • Copy all your ROM files/subfolders(bin ,app ,build.prop etc) to system folder
  • Everything is expalined in extractor, read it carefully
  • If you found "range_sah1()" on your updateR-script then continue below, else only you have to replace system.new.dat and system.transfer.list of "xyz_ROM"
    CONTINUE ONLY IF YOU FOUND RANGE RANGE_SHA1
  • After repack a SHA1_VALUE of system.new.dat is generated and file is created as "SHA1_VALUE.txt" with "system.new.dat" & "system.transfer.list"
  • And follow this guide Repack_INFO.txt (attached end of this POST)
  • OR GIT ATTACHEDhttps://github.com/matriex/System_Extractor/blob/master/Repack_INFO.md
  • That's all if you need help feel free to comment
  • Thanks for using this method I can't say it will work , but what's wrong in trying , I tried 10 to 20 times to make it work

A LITTLE ADVICE

1. If the script failed to work ,please take a look at this post again I'm sure I've posted enough resource which will help you out in extracting and repacking .DAT files .

2. Please keep this thread clean.

3. Please don't quote whole thread(use tags).

4. I take no responsibility of repacking system.img!

5. For Linux users :https://github.com/matriex/System_Extractor-Linux/blob/master/README.md

6. Use Python 2.7.x or otherwise extractor will not work Do not use python 3.0 or update sdat2img.py binary!



Thanks to @xpirt for sdt2img

I am really sorry this is because i converted bat file to exe file

And you will get two things

Hi,

I've managed to extract, but repacking is giving the following error:

Found System FOLDER

Creating filesystem with parameters:
Size: 2147483648
Block size: 4096
Blocks per group: 32768

error: ext4_allocate_best_fit_partial: failed to allocate 584 blocks, out of space?

Click to collapse

I double checked, and I haven't ran out of disk nor RAM.
Can you help me?

Thanks

No bro you haven't ran out of disk or RAM :silly:
This problem persist due to size of your system folder i.e it must be greater than 2GB
Right?
Don't worry jusy edit my batch file code using notepad ++
Here which line you have to edit
Search this line

bin\make_ext4fs.exe -s -l 2048M system.img system

Now replace 2048M with 4096M

After that the line will look like

bin\make_ext4fs.exe -s -l 4096M system.img system

And after that save it.
Done
Reply it worked or not


EDIT ON 30/5/2016

Use new version 4.0 IT CAN CALCULATE SIZE AUTOMATICALLY NO NEED TO EDIT SCRIPT

    During Installation ,Click Add Python.exe To Path And Select Local Hard Drive.Then Click Advanced And Tick The Option.
    Extraction Will Work Fine Even For 7.1 Files.
    This Procedure Worked For Me While Extracting CM 14.1 .DAT Files.
