[Q] How to extract current ROM in device and create a flashable ZIP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi People of XDA,
Good day I have been thinking of extracting my current ROM and make a flashable .zip out of it. Is there a way to do this? Does RUU.exe work on a non-HTC device? My device is a XOLO Q1000. Thanks.

Nandroid (the backup feature in most CWM recoveries) can create system images, if that's your goal. ..

Oh I see, yes this could work, but extracting the files from the phone to get this kind of directory structure is another thing... hmmmm... maybe I can just copy them out then work my way with the guide.

Hope I was of some help :laugh:

I hope you read ^^ that before flashing right? Give him some time.
Also if that's individual files you're talking, adb pull / push might just be it.

You can use SPFlashTool to make a copy of the ROM you have installed, just the same way you would do to get a copy of your stock ROM

if you have back up of your modules then replace with the current modules
if not work then flash the stock rom

you need to extract system.img file
long process
i think you should apply whole backup
system.img extracted,, whats next ?
making full backup restore will again take phone FW back to JB,, so i guess saving it as last resort.

I cannot flash the system.img because the file is too large for fastboot.
Can all those image files be made into a flashable TWRP rar?
I cannot do it, that's why I'm looking for someone who is willing to help but there is currently no one.

[Q] Roms structure

Hello!
Can someone explain to me what differences are between these roms? (see attachements):
I have MT6755 device and it's stock ROM has inside a boot.img, system.new.dat, system.patch, META-INF, etc..
And then I found a device which ROM has inside just boot.img, META-INF and system folder.
What's the difference?
If I want to port a custom rom, does my device need to have in a custom rom these files(system.new.dat, system.patch...) too, or can I use a "structure" of the ROM zip with just boot.img and system?
As far as i know You just need only System,boot.img and meta-inf also data if you wish to add an app as user

So if I want to port a ROM from device that has (system.new.dat, etc..), I need only to extract system.new.dat to get system folder and just use it?
