(09-02-2018, 01:27 PM)paeffiong I need something that will help me out on repacking the image to its original format.

Though the ROM has already been ported to my device by me, i need to work on repacking it to its original format.

both guides allow you to do that.
Run as Admin as I said and let me know if the error persists when repacking

Still having same issue and I'm gonna rest for a while.

I will look into my issue whenever I'm less busy cos at the moment, ROM porting has taken almost all my leisure time.

Please I need help, note 4 boot file does not have file_contexts it only has file_contexts.bin. and the bin file is encrypted. What should I do now.

Again I followed all instructions.... But when I want to unpack system.img it doesn't work

Except I convert from system.img to system.new.dat then unpack it that way.

you can use filecontext converter to convert filecontext.bin to .txt format

(08-02-2018, 07:30 PM)paeffiong My issue as screen shot has nothing absolutely to do with the size.

Look critically at the pic and you will understand what I'm facing.

Restart the unpack-repack process running the tool as Admin.
Also try unpack and repack as RAW (system.img) using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-20497.html

Hi sir, I have unpacked the system.img from the stock rom nokia 5.1 plus global but I can't find the APDB file, please help
