What's the last thing to go correctly?
Which image are you trying to extract, did you try others?
Did you try to mount the ALT_OS partiton to outside host and extract to there?

its pretty much end of the falshing when it glitching
im using SourenAraya's Sailfish images that are the latest.

what do you mean about trying to mount ALT_OS partition to outside host?
can you post some simple steps that worked for you?

OMG now I understand what you have done wrong here! :D:D

So you formatted your ALT_OS under windows?
The reason windows complains about it is becuse the MOSLO partitioner script creates an ext4 filesystem on the partition and a windows does not recognize it it will think it is unusable and want to format it as FAT ot NTFS :p

Now, what happens when you format it on windows, it will of course lack all the permission bits, ownerships, ability to use links,ability to have directory trees deeper than 255 characters, ability to use special charaters in filenames, large file support, etc. etc.
When you try to extract the Sailfish files from the archive it will sooner or later hit a file there that it cannot express in the filesystem terms, and bail out.

Now, even if you'd managed to extract the files from the archive to the partition, you could not run Sailfish as you'd lost all the above nice features of the FS :D

Fix: reformat the partition as ext4 on the device:
/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p4

that's it :)
