Hi RedScorpio

Unfortunately with this version I can't obtain a proper ext4 iso file.
With an extract of ICS img rom (G18N from yinlips) (mirror here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/67207175/ROMS/YDPG18.rar)
just a "data" type:

system.fex.iso: data

instead of:

system.fex.iso: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=630e3cc6-b026-4f2a-9f62-50b32a9f2ec8 (extents) (huge files)

Do you have idea of what happened ?

These two strings are not the result of the work of any version of the program. Please describe the problem more precisely.

Sorry for late answer, it was the "file" command on the iso files generated by imgRepacker. (especially system one)
In fact the iso files are not ext4 filesystem, in fact there is no filesystem defined :/

I'll try with the latest version this afternoon.

Actually, the program does not modify files in the firmware (saves them as-is). So inform me, in which case you got

system.fex.iso: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=630e3cc6-b026-4f2a-9f62-50b32a9f2ec8 (extents) (huge files)

I have it with an iso extracted from an older version of the img I used. (one of Android 2.3)

The one wich causing these issue is an Android 4.0 one

This is the files from "YDPG18 Upgrade" android game handled console

I think, this is a root case. Try to use simg2img for Android 4.0

Hi

The IMG file for the ProTabXXLV2 here gives a corruption error when trying to unpack with imgRePacker. I know the file works in LiveSuit as I have flashed it a number of times.

ImgRepacker builds incorrect image

Help me please.
I use ImgRepacker 2.1 with Allwinner A10 ROM for chinese "noname" tablet with Android 4.0.3 ICS.
ImgRepacker unpacks ROM correctly but then repack ROM incorrectly.
I made an experiment.
I unpacked ROM and then repacked it without any changes.
Tablet doesn't boot with the re-assembled ROM.
I compared the old and the new ROMs. Both files are the same size but they contain 81 differences. These differences are:
1) One big block from offset 0050 to 03FF (944 bytes)
2) 40 blocks of 48 bytes. The 1st of these blocks begins at offset 0430 and the others repeated every 1024 bytes.
3) 40 blocks of 720 bytes. The 1st of these blocks begins at offset 0530 and the others repeated every 1024 bytes.

Is there *english* doc to this tool? And what do I do with all these .fex files? Or the .fex.iso ones?

 

[RedScorpioXDA]

The IMG file for the ProTabXXLV2 here gives a corruption error when trying to unpack with imgRePacker. I know the file works in LiveSuit as I have flashed it a number of times.

This is the result of improper packaging firmware. In the next versions of the program will be key to disable the checking size of the firmware. The new version is being tested and will be published in the near future.

These blocks belong to the titles of files and is unlikely to affect the flashing crash. If the new firmware can unpack, look for the problem in a different place.

Please provide links to both firmware images

Thanks for the tip, I'll try with it. I think I can find it on xda isn 't it?
