Trying 3 times to unpack an system.img file from my HTC One SU T528W but the ICS/JB/Ext4 unpacker everytime gives
me same error: "List index out of bounds (327680)".
And it stuck there.
Why?
What's happened?
Thanks for your answer.
Device 1 - S4 I9505: stock XXUUGNE5 (DBT) + CF Auto root + PhilZ touch
Device 2 - S3 I9300: stock XXUGMK6 (DBT) + CF Auto root + PhilZ touch
Device 3 - HTC Desire 600/606w: Stock firmware rooted + S-OFF and Supercid

Thanks. This thread helped me. I overwrote my systemui and needed it back. Is able to use this method to extract it from
the Google factory image for my galaxy nexus. You do it once and it's pretty straight forward.

I need to pack files back into a system.img file and it can't be an update.zip file. I need it for emulation purposes.
