Requirements

  • Requires Python 2.7.5 or newer installed on your system
  • It currently supports Windows, Linux (tested)
  • Python package: brotli or brotlipy (only the -c parameter is specified)

Usage

$ ./rimg2sdat.py
usage: rimg2sdat.py [OPTION] <raw_image_file>

positional arguments:
  raw_image_file  input system raw image file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -o outdir       output directory, default: current directory
  -p prefix       name of sparse data image (prefix.new.dat), default: system
  -v version      transfer list version number, default: 4
  -c              compress the new.dat file to new.dat.br file with brotli.
                  (WARNING! Only Android 8.1 support)
  -nl             when version was 4, no limit 1024 blocks in single command
  -sha1           get sha1 checksums of sparse data image

Example

# create system.transfer.list of version 4, and system.new.dat
~$ ./rimg2sdat.py system.img

# create system.transfer.list of version 3, and system.new.dat
~$ ./rimg2sdat.py -v 3 system.img
 
# create test.transfer.list of version 4, then compression test.new.dat into test.new.dat.br
~$ ./rimg2sdat.py -p test -c system.img
 
# create system.transfer.list of version 4
# get sha1 checksums of system.new.dat, then compression it into system.new.dat.br
~$ ./rimg2sdat.py -c -sha1 system.img

Also can be a module

import rimg2sdat

# ~$ ./rimg2sdat.py system.img
rimg2sdat.process('system.img')

# ~$ ./rimg2sdat.py -p test -c -sha1 system.img
rimg2sdat.process('system.img', '-p test -c -sha1')
