A tool for extracting bin firmware for LG Phones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879915
##NOTES
-
Sometimes partition require that they fill the entire 'size' even though the last bit is whitespace. The bin/tot files often don't have that last bit of whitespace. The problem is only noticed so far in tot partitions that are broken up into seperate parts and there is a prompt to ask you if you want to add the data if there is a GPT header available to get correct size from. I intend to later analyze the partition itself to see if it's neccesary and how much 'space' should there be.
-
My database of bin files is still to small to analyze them when it's unkown and only supported bin/tot files will work. Just follow the steps present in Support to get it added

###HALL OF HELPERS
- novassoc : for his tool that extracts the kdz and wdb files.

##Bugs Found a bug? Please report it!
https://github.com/Xonar/LGBinExtractor/issues
I'll do my best to fix it as quickly as possible.
###Known bugs
- Doesn't work with Big Endian Systems
- Some partitions require that they are their full size (see Note 1)
##Support If there isn't support for your phone just ask. I'll be glad to include it. As I don't own many of these phones (Just the P970 is mine) and my bandwidth is limited I need some info from you if I am to add support.
######EMail or msg me on XDA with the following info:
- Phone Model
- What firmware you want to extract
- The first meg of the firmware file (Theres a option in the tool for that now)
- It is rare that I can actually download the very large firmware files so this is important
- Any hosting site will be sufficient. You can also post in the thread and attach the file there.
- Your phone partition info
- the output from 'cat /proc/partitions' is usually sufficient
- All known partition starting points within the file.
You should also be prepared for some correspondence so I can use you to test if it actually works. I am doing it for you after all.
This tool is pretty picky when it comes to magic checking. I'll add support for forcing a certain magic and ignoring magic checking later. I have a life of my own after all.
