I am noob 😒 Please help me... 😢
How to unpack super image with a number, like, super.img.0 / super.img.1 .... etc on Win-10...?

When I drag & drop these types of file (super.img.0) on superunpack.exe, it shows: This is not super image!
I also renamed super.img.0 to super.img and tried, but the result was same.

Hi @munjeni , I have a galaxy s9 rooted with android10. System partition is read only and both your tool that lebigmac tool doen't work (your tool result is "this is not super image" while lebigmac tool result is "Fatal error! No super partition detected". How can set system partition r-w?

I have also error message about dm-verity and dm-verification: "ERROR: Data from 'vbmeta' does not look like a vbmeta header" ... how can I fix? Here there are steps that I have followed https://xdaforums.com/t/official-twrp-sm-g9600-starqlte-chn.3803297/post-88556861

How to use superrepack:

adb push superrepack.arm64_pie /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
mv superrepack.arm64_pie superrepack
chmod 755 superrepack
stop
./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super system_a
sync
reboot

I want to run it on Android Studio Virtual Device (AVD).
But it doesn't work when to the line:

./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super system_a

I get the following error:
127|generic_x86_arm:/dev/block/by-name # ./superrepack /dev/block/by-name/super system_a
/system/bin/sh: ./superrepack: inaccessible or not found

Or if I run it in the /data/local/tmp path, it still gives another error:
generic_x86_arm:/data/local/tmp # ./superrepack /dev/block/by-name/super system_a
/system/bin/sh: ./superrepack: No such file or directory

In my android system this path exists (/dev/block/by-name/super) but this path (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super) does not exist.

I've been searching day and night for more than a month for a solution to RW the root folder in Android Studio (AVD), don't you have a solution for it!?

    How to use superunpack:

    - First step, unpack super.sin using my tool or use @IgorEisberg unsin tool
    - Step two, Superunpack. On windows just drag and drop unpacked super image onto our exe to start extraction. Also you can use it from command line, from script or from etc. On Linux use it from command line. No need to set slot like it was a case on lpunpack, our tool will auto extract all slot images for you, enjoy!
    - If you need to unpack partition images in RW mode add parameter 1 at the end of command line e.g. "superunpack super.img 1", than resize partition using resize2fs, repair and unshare blocks using e2fsck. Or if you unpack without rw you no need to resize or repair it, just mount it ro.

    How to manualy patch super partition in under Linux:

    Note that, superunpack is a tool for extract all logical partitions from super image or directly from super partition.

    How to use superrepack:

    adb push superrepack.arm64_pie /data/local/tmp
    adb shell
    su
    cd /data/local/tmp
    mv superrepack.arm64_pie superrepack
    chmod 755 superrepack
    stop
    ./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super system_a
    sync
    reboot

    Note that, superrepack is a tool to convert logical RO partitions iside your phone super partition to RW mode without extracting anything, all things is done on the fly directly inside super partition/image! In this example system_a partiton is converted to the rw mode, if you need other partitions to rw just change system_a argument. Or if you need all partitions to rw mode do it without partition rw argumet e.g: "./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super". YOU MUST RUN TOOL 4-5 TIMES UNTIL ALL ERRORS DISAPEARS!!! One of the well known errors is: "Couldn't clone file: Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem". Look at /data/local/tmp/script.log each time and make sure it not contain any error otherwise you are not done things right and partition is not repaired yet!!!

    Platform:

    - Superunpack is working on Windows, Linux, Android, Darwin11, just chose right binary.
    - Superrepack is working only under android


    Changelog:

    - version 1 (21.Jun.2020), initial version
    - version 1.1 (22.Jun.2020), dump file format detection, partition size correction in case ext4, partition group detection, have extraction progress bar, improvements
    - version 2 (03.04.2021) implemented possibility to extract partition images to rw mode using Superunpack & I have made new tool called Superrepack
    - version 2 (04.04.2021) implemented arguments so you would do conversion on single partition instead of doing it on all partitions
    - version 3 (04.04.2021) implemented return codes and implemented output logs to be more scripting friendly
    - version 4 - not released
    - version 5 (08.04.2021) implemented resize and repair partitions after switching to rw mode. Implemented build script for building resize2fs, e2fsck, simg2ims, img2simg, lptools
    - version 6 (08.04.2021) better loop device detection and setup
    - version 7 (08.04.2021) fix selinux status detection
    - version 8 (15.04.2021) fix loop device setup in superrepack
    - version 9 (16.04.2021) make losetup android compatible
    - version 10 - not released
    - version 11 (01.05.2021) simplified, removed needs for parameter rw, implemented dm-verity disabler
    - version 12 (05.05.2021) make old logs always deleted before fresh log is created, this prevent concentation with old logs
    - version 13 (06.05.2021) make linux version so you should do the things on your super partition dump in linux machine
    - version 14 (07.05.2021) fix compilation mess between linux and android
    - version 15 (08.05.2021) use libselinux to determine and set selinux to permissive mode instead of popening getenforce-setenforce tools

    If you need to mount ext4 partition on Linux you need to mount partition RO or it will not mount!

    Version 7 is out! V6 had error detecting slinux status. I do not have device with super partition for test my tool but I have only hope that all is ok. Let me know! :)
