Help with Miracle Box / Thunder and MTK device
(09-03-2019, 10:40 PM)X3nonok iam start thinking that my userdata backup is corrupted. cant open img, cant open gz. not even with sgs2toext4 or simg2img(09-03-2019, 12:12 AM)alfaomega meh. nothing work a tried open both files. Nothing work. ( tried renaming backup to .7z and .img) can open with nothing. when trying to convert sparse file just 0b/s repeating over and over. waiting for 5 minutes and still 0b/s
the first one should be .img while the second one .gz not the other way round
the first with .img goes to sgs2toext4 the second one with .gz you can try extract using 7zip software
you can also try using simg2img instead of sgs2toext4; use command prompt window to run this tool
- simg2img userdata.img new_ext4.img
userdata.img; replace with the name of your file
new_ext4.img; this is the filename for the output ext4

this is what simg2img said : Invalid sparse file format at header major version
Failed to read sparse file.
its really interesting bcs. that .backup files a get immediately after phone lock. with recovery mode ( backup od sdcard) it was before all miracle tries etc.
EDIT: Today i get in hands a same device but on factory reset and working OS. so maybe new possibilities to flash rom etc.(enable usb debugging) i was thinking about enable usb debugging. flash userdata in phone and use adb to remove pattern lock.

are you trying to open your initial .backup or the newly modified 1 & 2?
open the file you tried converting using simg2img in hxd and without scrolling down, make a screenshot & attach it here
there's no use for another phone, cause after you flash userdata (which had usb debugging turned off) the phone will have usb debugging turned off. instead flash your entire say miracle box dump back to your phone. boot the phone up & check if it powers on back to the lockscreen
if it does, then use the custom recovery method to unlock the phone
