# sdat2img

Convert sparse Android data image (.dat) into filesystem ext4 image (.img)

## Requirements

This binary requires Python 2.7 or newer installed on your system. 

It currently supports Windows, Linux, MacOS & ARM architectures.

**Note:** newer Google's [Brotli](https://github.com/google/brotli) format (`system.new.dat.br`) must be decompressed to a valid sparse data image before using `sdat2img` binary.

## Usage

```

sdat2img.py   [system_img]

```

- `` = input, system.transfer.list from rom zip

- `` = input, system.new.dat from rom zip

- `[system_img]` = output ext4 raw image file (optional)

## Example

This is a simple example on a Linux system: 

```

~$ ./sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img

```

## OTAs

If you are looking on decompressing `system.patch.dat` file or `.p` files, therefore reproduce the patching system on your PC, check [imgpatchtools](https://github.com/erfanoabdi/imgpatchtools) out by @erfanoabdi.
