LiveSuit image - detailed look at partition files

Jump to section:

Introduction

Having extracted the Livesuit files, we'll now have a look at each of the partition files and see what format they're in and what they contain.

RFSFAT16_BOOT_00000000000

This is the usual kernel+ramdisk format and can be unpacked using unmkbootimg as described elsewhere. It corresponds byte-for-byte with the boot partition (nandc).

RFSFAT16_BOOTLOADER_00000

This is a simple vfat image corresponding exactly to the bootloader (nanda) partition and can be mounted using

sudo mount -o loop -t vfat RFSFAT16_BOOTLOADER_00000 tempdir

RFSFAT16_DATA_00000000000

This is a sparse ext4 image and can be converted and mounted using simg2img as described elsewhere. Its contents correspond to the data (nande) partition.

RFSFAT16_ENVIROMENT_00000

Bytewise identical to the environment partition (nandb). Unsure about the exact contents.

RFSFAT16_RECOVERY_0000000

Same as the boot partition - contains kernel+ramdisk, requires unmkbootimg to unpack. Byte identical to the recovery partition (nandg).

RFSFAT16_SYSTEM_000000000

This is also a sparse ext4 image and can be converted with simg2img. It corresponds to the system (nandd) partition.
