How can I go in reverse? I have a CWM backup but I want to replace the system. tar files that are in the backup folder with a different system.img. Can this utility tool take my NEW system.img file and pack in into tar, tar.a, tar.b etc files that I can then move to the backup folder so I can restore it?
I do not need warnings about the MD5 checksum file (I already know how to get around that), or about bricking my device (I know how to recover from a brick...done it dozens of times). I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO USE CWM TO RESTORE A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE SYSTEM.IMG THAN THE ONE CURRENTLY IN THE DEVICE. I just need to know how to solve my problem.
I have no other options as the device was already soft-bricked with no backup when I got it, the system partition could not be mounted (I was unable to obtain a full CWM backup...I first had to format the system partition to get a working CWM backup but of course the system image is blank), and the only current working mode is the CWM recovery on the device. So I can restore a CWM backup (I have a replacement system.img).
