== Extract ramdisk DMG without Snow Leopard ==

Is there a way to extract a decrypted ramdisk DMG without Snow Leopard?

For instance, the FLS file of the baseband update shows zero size when extracted with Leopard or with HFSExlporer.

:I was wondering the same exact thing, and so far I have found no answers :/ I've tried mounting the ramdisk on a pwned 3.0 device, but I can't seem to get the image to mount successfully. Anyone know how to do this or any other method?--[[User:Cool name|Cool name]] 18:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I have some rather hacky xpwn patches to allow you to extract most files in the compressed ramdisk. I can release those if you'll are desperate. The only catch is they only extract files >64k, and don't allow you you add in compressed files --[[User:Posixninja|posixninja]] 19:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:Posixninja, I think we would very much appreciate you sharing these xpwn patches with us :)--[[User:Cool name|Cool name]] 19:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

ok, I uploaded it to my drop [http://drop.io/posixninja]. these are just the related files, most of the work in these was done by the wonderful planetbeing, not me. also I haven't tested it on windows at all yet, so there could be some issues. --[[User:Posixninja|posixninja]] 19:36, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:Great, thank you :) I've gotten it to work, however, is there a way to make it work with genpass?  Genpass fails when running on a compressed ramdisk, so I don't know if this tool could help with that problem...--[[User:Cool name|Cool name]] 20:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

::genpass fail isn't because of the compressed ramdisk, there's anther issue that I haven't fixed yet in genpass. i'll try to get that fixed asap, it's been on my todo list for awhile now --[[User:Posixninja|posixninja]] 20:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:::ah ok, sounds good. That new genpass will be very useful :) --[[User:Cool name|Cool name]] 20:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks! --[[User:Oranav|Oranav]] 21:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


Can't you just mount them after you decrypt them with xpwn? --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|Dra1nerdrake]] 01:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't open your drop site. is there another solution for mounting the ramdisk [[User:Itaiyz97|Itaiyz97]] 09:24, 6 February 2012 (MST)
