Description

@bitching

extracted vendor.img is ~2GB, system.img is ~3GB.
but the actual size should be ~700MB/~2.5GB, which are similar to the oem's img file, as fastboot recognised.

fastboot reports Invalid sparse file format at header magic and wait a long time before sending the image to the phone. and the time waited will be longer and longer. anyway to fix it?
