Merge super_*.img_* files - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
Anybody knows how to merge these multiple {Mod edit} into one super.img file? I wanna obtain the LG Velvet's color emoji ttf file, and they're extracted from G90010s_0_user-signed-ARB0_COM1_EU_OP_1229.dz firmware file. Thanks in advance.
(BTW I don't have the LG phone )

Where the attached image went?
Anyways, you put nulls between those images. One way to do it is to minus the numbers at the end of file names and then multiply that number with block size which is in this case 4096. Like this:
super.img_0
<here (10-0)*4096 nulls>
super.img_10
<here (30-10)*4096 nulls>
super.img_30
<... and so on...>

Copy will do. And there is plenty of those Python scripts out there that you probably used to get this far. Some of them might do it for you, but I don't know much about them. Some work for some and some don't.
Then you'll have to extract that super too...
Probably binwalk or something like it would be an easier or a faster approach... ?

I want to do it on Windows.
For example, the super chunk filename is:
super_xxx.img_yyy
Can you explain me what are the xxx and yyy numbers mean?

Hmm... depends what you're after but that G90010s firmware might be old. The new ones came with Android 11 according to this article: https://blog.emojipedia.org/lg-emojis-return-to-say-goodbye/
You might want to try with newer one. G900EM20j seems to be latest at the moment...

Anybody has extracted/obtained that {Mod edit} emoji file from the LG Velvet phone or firmware here? Please upload the file to GDrive and send the link to me. Thank you.
It usually named *ColorEmoji.ttf and located at /system/fonts

For those who have the LG Velvet phone, download the FX File Explorer app from Play Store. If you already have the app, you can open it. Then go to System → /system/fonts, look for a file named LGColorEmoji.ttf, copy to the internal storage and upload to GDrive, and then send the link to me through conversation.

There wasn't such. All I could find was one with the name {Mod edit}ColorEmoji.ttf...
Just try to do it yourself, it's not that hard...

I don't have the LG phone, but I really like that {Mod edit} emoji file (because of the flag emojis wave style are similar like Apple's) and even I'd like to replace my phone's current emoji with that one. If it's found from the LG Velvet phone, please upload that {Mod edit} to GDrive then send the link to me through conversation.

Got myself now interested in this Super of LGs, and it's "differencies". While checking them (and wasting some more time), I also extracted that newer kdz. Found just a file named "NotoColorEmoji.ttf".
Hope it's what you're looking for... (*)

BTW, What is the firmware version, build date, and its Android version?

Deleted the folder already. It's the one I mentioned earlier, post #8.
As you see it's Android 11 (R).
(It was put to LG's server on Tue, 14 Dec 2021)

Just checked a T-mobile Velvet 5G firmware released on Monday. Found LGNotoColorEmoji.ttf in it.
Naturally I now had to extract that G900EM20j again to see if I just missed it...
Now it was in /system/system_ext/fonts/ folder.
It probably was hiding somewhere else last time... odd.
The build date was Wed Nov 17 15:46:24 IST 2021
So it took almost a month to put it to their server...
The T-mobile version is a bit bigger. I'll attach that as well.
Now enjoy!

Welcome To Sony System App Editor Ver.1.1​Installation
Please follow the instructions carefully, cause this is very crucial to the programs working.​
Step 1
Download the following resources :​
Android SDK (drawPatch9)
Java SE Runtime Environment 7 (Java)
Step 2
Go to Advanced System Properties.
It should look like this:
Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value according to the path where you have installed the JRE(7).
It should look like this:
Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Now if your value is ending with ";" (without quotes) then just add the path to your JRE(7) bin folder. If the ";" is not present then just add it and follow the rest of instruction as given.
It should look like this:
Now just Save it. (Just keep on clicking OK it will be done automatically.)
Step 3
Download Ver.1.1.zip.
[*] Download
[*] Size: 17.85 MB (18714229 bytes)
Now Extract the zip where ever you want in your computer.
Step 4
Open the folder in which you have extracted the files and then the res directory in it.
Now make sure that the folder looks like this -
If you want you can add your modified resource files too.​Note: If you are using any other ROM or PHONE of Sony (This program might be compatible with all types of Phones and Roms though!), then you should over-write the already present resource files in the res directory with your own ROM or PHONE resource files. (This is important!)
Now open the program by executing - Sony System App Editor.bat, like this -
Then type LOADRESOURCES, and let the program install the required resources. Once done add your APK file to this program's directory and get started, cause you are all done!
It should look like this:
How to use?
Step 1
Make sure you have the original version of the system apk. (This is important cause in other situations I cannot guarantee it's working as I haven't tested it. ) Copy it to the program's main directory.
Now open the Program by executing - Sony System App Editor.bat, and type only the name of the System app.
For eg.: If you want to edit UxpNxtLockScreen.apk, then copy it to the main directory, and then by executing the program type UxpNxtLockScreen. (Notice no .apk!)​
Now press Enter and let the program handle the rest.
Still it should look like this:
Now check for any errors in the Apktool output screen, if none found you are good to go or else I don't know what to do?...p)
If everything went fine it should look like this -
Step 2
Edit your APK to your carnal needs! But still make sure everything you do is syntactically correct and there are no erroneous codes.
For editing APK's go to the working folder of the program, and look for the folder that is named after the file-name of your System Apk.
It should look like this:
​
Now open it and start editing.
Step 3
Now assuming you have finished editing the System app, execute the main program once again - Sony System App Editor.bat.
Type the APK's file-name (no exts.) which you where editing, and press enter.
It should look like this:
Make sure everything goes right and check for any errors in the APKTOOL output screen, cause program at the current stage will still produce a build even if there is any error with apktool! (Will be solved soon.)
Now assuming you have checked everything and nothing is wrong, then you are good to go! And still it should look like this -
Step 4
Assuming that everything has been fine till now, so then you can have your APK file in the build folder of the Program's main directory.
It should look like this:
​
Now copy it to a place where you can create a flash-able zip out of it! :laugh:
Note: If you want to start modification of the new apk file of the same name, first delete the folder in the working directory of the previous APK's file-name. (It's important.)
Condition of it's use
Please use this program at your own risk. It has only been tested to mod UxpNxtLockScreen.apk.
This program utilizes a technique that I learned while creating my first mods, and was not able to find a perfect tutorial.
The technique this program utilizes might not be applicable for all types of System Apps.
The program is just created by me today (23/9/13), so please bear with it's simple and non-wanting UI and features.
So start using it and start modding today! - Become a World-Class Developer! (.........:laugh:...............:laugh:........)
Download Ver.1.1​Please wait till this program is completely face-lifted!​Credits
Apktool developer for developing such a great tool.
Google for making such a wonderful OS!
Me for making it's modification so simple! (divinemamgai)
This Tool is gonna suffer from Face-Change! So please co-operate.

LG .kdz firmwares for all models.

Hello.
Maybe you guyz don't know me but I deal with sharing links for normal and beta .kdz firmwares for all LG devices since 2009.
Now it very hard since LG has changed links from /swdata/WDLSW/Model/Suffix/V99X_00/V99X_00.kdz to /dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWXXXX86573210987654321/V99X_00.kdz
We can't generate manually links for firmware cause this XXXX defines all (model+suffix+kdz version).
It would be great if someone he could crack the code but I'm afraid that this is random I mean every next relased file for any phone have another number.
I have a great automatic script that shows all normal .kdz firmwares links for all phone models but it need very good server cause it uses a lot of data + cpu usage. I also don't know how much time it will work since LG is changing sites links every day.
It's very hard now. Nobody has access to B2B.
I got also email from lg-phone-firmware.com admin that if I will not help him he will be forced to close the page cause he is generating links manually.
About beta firmwares it's almost impossible to download links.
We must convert new file type firmware link to old file type firmware link and do some trick to download it.
All old firmware links are not working now.
Today LG has changed download method of Service Manuals, SIB's etc. Every action need user name and password so if you are not employee you will do nothing. Old method is working today but tomorrow may not work.
I've decided to post it in G2 section cause this phone is new and probably everyone would like to have all the latest and unbranded firmware.
LG may force us to change the firmware to other firmware that is offered by your branding operator will be impossible.
We need to help each other. Everybody is welcomed.
If know anything about php, javascript, etc.you can help me to create site with scripts for "the necessary software" for everyone who has LG mobile ;]
If you can decompile programs, you know reverse engineering mail me on PM or in this topic and I will tell you what you can do to help.
If you have any idea about hosting server (I don't have any job so I don't have a money to pay for good server) post it.
Everyone is obliged to comment on the sharing of ideas ;]
hey think you can post some examples of old style links against new style links please?
edit:
would be better if you can show up in irc. can bounce information between us
#Lproj @ freenode (see my signature)
edit 2:
looking at the way this is done, I would agree that this is random. however I feel this is going to change again soon. probably to include all the static numbers in the randomisation. your best bet is to try to get behind the site and see the actual database, which isn't going to happen
edit 3:
you'd be able to access a searcher which the new b2c software uses. I have a friend who is good with software. I'm seeing if they can help out on this
edit 4:
ok I'm making progress. I've managed to get the info for all the drivers so far based on the country with the new method of fetching files
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/web_model_list.jsp?country=GB
got to get food. will be back soon
edit 5:
got a method to get them, but it needs the imei number. not ideal
Try this link and get off my LG L9 forum unless you can unlock our bootloader.
not for all models, but if you know the imei following thread may help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484476
Sent from my LG-D802
Guyz I don't need any IMEI numbers. I can have all firmware links for any model.
The question is how much time it will work.
New links are same as old but you need a permisson to download from old link.
You cannot also download test firmwares even in new links since 30 oct.
I have some trick. You need some page that allow you to download files. It's like you are downloading by internal IP server (use csmg page to download files from csmg pages).

RW firmware is other than FW ;]
If you have all FW links for 1 model you should sort it by relase date. Only 1st number is changing for example FW3 than FW6 than FW9 and whe have 3 firmwares with same name for same model relased in same time. So I think it just each successively released firmware gets sequence number.
does this help?

I have access to view all normal .kdz files and to download service manuals + sibs but not .dz firmwares.
try inserting your fancy links into JDownloader to pass trough the encryption and permission problems... I have been amazed by that software a few times so far

It is easy to grab the download link of the .kdz file even without IMEI, but it seems that i can only get the model kdz file for those support web upgrade. Those firmware pushed via OTA like the LG E970 can not download after LG BLOCK THE B2B ACCESS

Hi, BIgboyPL.
Can you access the service manual?, how about tot firmware?
I have created some page:
http://csmgb2b.zz.mu/test_csmg.php?model=LGD802
if you will change model to other it will show you other.
I can't access Service manuals and .tot or .dz but I have SIBs.

Hi master,
May you please share how did you get this work via PM?
Do you have a facebook or Google Plus, i can reach you..
I found some hidden menu from the "NotiAgent.exe" and "B2BFileUpdateAgent.exe", have you ever able to access that?
I can access the ARC area now, Need to further find out how to continue..

[Unofficial] Paranoid Android G2 4.6b3+ NoHeatMod

Creating a new thread as posting modding info in the official thread might be considered rude/inappropriate/hijacking.
Read the official thread first, starting october 6 2014.
These modding descriptions are for the works of the AOSPA and AOSPA-legacy team, about 101% of the credits go to @ayysir and @houstonn and all oft PA team. Awesome stuff.
Feel free to donate to them in the way of their liking.
And of course @777jon, owner of the cited unofficial VS980 thread, who gave the essential hint about the display-caf package
This thread is intended to provide a knowledge base for modding the official builds as long as they seem flawed for some of us. Feel free to reference helpful stuff from other threads in accordance to forum rules.
D802 @ AOSPA 4.6b3
Here's what made the issue go away for me on D802. This might be dangerous, so don't do it if you can't live with the risk of bricking your phone, you are entirely on your own if something goes wrong.
Prerequesites:
- Install official 4.6b3 AOSPA-legacy zip-image to phone
- [optional] Install Renders Kernel
- Install updated root
- Download and extract unofficial 4.6b3 VS980 zip-image from @777jon 's thread (yeah, it's the wrong phone, but we need only one file; find thread in Forum yourself, got yelled at for crosslinking stuff before )
Procedure:
-MAKE NANDROID BACKUP!
-Copy file from extracted VS980-image [zip]/system/lib/hw/hwcomposer.msm8974.so to phone's sdcard folder via USB (eg. ./Download)
-Start terminal on phone or adb shell
-Create backup dir:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/noheatbackup
-get root access by typing
Code:
su
-make /system writeable by typing
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
-backup existing file by typing

Thanks for creating a new thread man, but i don't think this qualifies for the Original Development section though
@Judge Joseph Dredd please move to correct section

Oh yes. See me:
Can i do it?
Download the vs980 From Post on original g2 development thread. Extract the zip and copy the file. (the 06/29 version)
Download the official beta 3 on aospal and extract it. Now i'll copy the file before and paste on beta 3 extracted zip, then i replace it. Now i'll zip the files and flash them via twrp. This method works too?

No, i meant the 4.6v3 version from october. Might work the way including it to the zip, but I'm really new to this and haven't tried.

Did you take the VS980 zip from @777jon s thread? I guess the official one has the same issues as the d802 official one.
Also I did it in an ADB shell, dunno if it works on phone's terminal.

Do Anyone try the new 4.6Beta4?!
I wonder if you can just take the hwcomposer.msm8974.so file from any rom based on dr87's source?
Its the same thing right?
______________
Edit
I just extract the lib from 3 different rom cm unofficial by fabioio (no number), pa vs980 (1), and mahdi 920 (2). Fabioio's cm is smallest and both pa and mahdi are of the same size.

I didn't compare the sources and also didn't check for device dependencies. If its design is done properly there shouldn't be any though. So yeah you should be able to take it from any dr87 based image as long as the structure doesn't change between different commits.
For the size that might just be different compiler options or even just symbol paths. Difficult to compare.
Also with this whole pa closedsource vs. pa opensource one cannot be sure what's really behind the official builds. Can someone actually bring me up to speed what's behind this open/closed source nonsense? Just IP protection?

The closed source thing is supposedly because that particular stuff(?) Is still buggy. Seeing how stuff go at desktop linux, this reason is really weird.
Yeah i just did the copy paste thing, i got stuck at lg logo. Right as i paste it the cellphone rebooted. I havent changed permission. I havent tried it for the second time though. Not sure if itll be the same.

That does indeed seem weird. It seems to me that custom roming is more about magical coding wizardry and fame than about progress in a classical open source sense. Maybe it's just an issue about age. I'm obviously too old...
Strange, my phone didn't reboot. I did it with adb shell and su.

Source code?
You can't honestly expect people to download a random zip containing an executable right?
Although your intentions may not be nefarious you can't trust anyone.

I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this tool, I'm simply stating people should be cautious, just because it's been downloaded a heap of times doesn't automatically make it safe. Think back to when Lenovo was found having over 750,000 laptops spying on users.

You might be missing my point. Your decision that is not malicious vs his original contention that it wasn't don't provide any more proof to anyone who didn't either review the code or write the code. All we have to go in is the XDA forum reputation. He is a developer on a developer site with a good one, and you have next to none. I don't think either of you are out to mislead anyone, and I certainly would not be the first to try a tool like this (if not for malicious code reasons, for "I don't feel like unbricking my phone" reasons). I wish you both well.

The MKDelta is a bit lighter when applied also the lime is slightly different in colour too, because when I took the screenshot in twrp it inverted the colour and I had to recolour those images. I might do more colours in the future, just seeing what following is like first
Just flashed MKNaomi on my Note 9.
Easy to install.
Looks really cool!
Thanks!
Themed and updated twrp bonus all round for me haha
I never even though about something like this being possible, I had pretty much accepted that my eyes had to endure the blinding pain of TWRP whenever I was using it late.
Thank you so much for your work!

Hey!
Nice to see people get interest for N9 twrp!
But yours versions suffered same issue as mine.
Unable to flash zips with script using some executable binaries (getprop, readlink and others) as devbase rom for exemple.
Could you tell me which device tree are you using? Isn't it mine? :laugh:
Still trying (and hopefully already done) to fix it.

The N9 image was an updated image sent to me and tested by a user, he said it was working fine, can anyone else confirm it is not flashing zips ? the N9 is hard to get updated official twrp at the moment as it is a newer phone. Anyone who has time to flash a file let me know if it works, many thanks in advance

Sorry for the confusion mate. It was me who gave the image of ur twrp build to him. He is my old friend, I know him from s7 edge group. He is an awesome twrp themer. I didn't know he was going to post the image to xda. He thought it was official twrp image. It was my fault. He will surely give u credit for ur twrp please let him use ur twrp image. . ??

So continue, and take the latest (r2) which more or less fixed the zip issue.

All images are Official apart from N9 which is still in development. I was led to believe the image was someone else's. All my xda thread for other models have had the thread link for N9 removed, all links on telegram channel removed and all AFH files removed. Very sorry for the confusion I will continue when a stable Official version comes out. Here is pics to show all links have been removed and link to AFH to show files are deleted
