error when extracting apps from CEPHEUS v9.3.22 (mi9)

[LianglRen]

BTW, is there any software can be used to manually extract apps from the .img files?
Thanks!

May be miui10 or Mi9 starts the structure change in img. My forked has been modified. But my MI9 has not been received, so I haven't tested it yet.

Thanks for the info. I will test your forked soon.

[LianglRen]

mabloshi's version works, with some modification:
The former path of "/system/app" in MIUI has been switched to "/system/system/app", and the "/system/framework" to "/system/system/framework", change the path in update-binary files seems to work for mine.

However, the file "system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom" has been located in" /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom", and the encryption had been modified as "fileencryption=ice", whereas the /data partition is not encrypted after a wipe of /data partition and reboot. Maybe the encryption setting changed?

[maboloshi]

@Ranio Thank you very much for testing. I got the phone in the afternoon and I also tested it. Encryption is now enabled by default. but you need to set the screen lock /data has encrypted, but /data/media/0 or /sccard has not encrypted.

Under TWRP, you can try

$adb shell
cepheus:/ # ls /data/app/

[LianglRen]

@maboloshi Thanks for your feedback. Screen lock has been enabled on my phone, I just checked the path /data/app, it has been encrypted. Could you please check whether the path "/data/media/0" or "/sccard"(the same one as previous) has been encrypted on yours, which was not on my phone.

update: According to the metadata encryption,

Metadata encryption can only be set up when the data partition is first formatted. As a result, this feature is only for new devices; this is not something an OTA should change.

So just after formatting of the data partition under TWRP, the metadata encryption works (if it doesn't work, try it again).

[maboloshi]

@Ranio The official Miui version has encrypted /data and /sdcard. The EU version has encrypted
/data, but has not encrypted for /media/0 or /sccard.

[linusyang92]

@Ranio Try the latest build. Mi 9's image structure has changed a bit.

[LianglRen]

@linusyang92 Thanks for the update, it works.
@maboloshi After a test on my Mi9, the xiaomi.eu supports encryption for /sdcard, however, as mentioned above, it needs a thorough formation of the data partition after flashing the extracted apps.

use https://github.com/maboloshi/mipay-extract cleaner-fix mi9 ok

[linusyang92]

@hcwhan Try the latest version. I don't own a Mi 9, thus cannot test if the generated zip actually works. But the detection in the installer script should work in theory, which dynamically tests if the device has /system/app or /system/system/app and extracts files correspondingly.

Same kind of error occured when I try @maboloshi forked ver with Mi5 ROM.
New to this, do not know what to do, any help please?
