    ps, uup dump or the use of the mct won't enable you to change ISO content, only create new ones (and no LTSC available).

    @Enthousiast so I'm away from my computer, and used Termux to download the desired build (on uup dump). I've dumped the files to my laptop (no internet connection where I am currently) so what can I use to convert the files in that UUP folder to an ISO or ESD? Sorry for the rookie questions!

    UUP dump downloads UUP files and the converter creates an ISO from the files:

    Here is a basic guide:

    But you asked for a tool that would enable you to make a single index out of a multiple index ISO, that is not what UUP dump or the MCT can do, they create new ISOs and can't modify existing officially released (MVS/Techbench) ISOs.

    Ah, my mistake. I have a weird situation wherein I can only get Internet access on My phone outside of the worksite, can't access the Internet with my laptop at all. I've downloaded all the uup files with the second option checked (download and convert to iso) I just can't convert to iso with my phone (I used Termux and Linux sh with the aria android app to download the files , was gonna try to dump the downloaded files to the laptop and use the laptop for the converting to iso part. Thank you sir!

    UUP dump is not really meant for use on phones, it needs windows and it needs proper resources to run fine.

    On non windows platform it won't be able to integrate updates anyway, windows only.

    Download MVS ISO will be the easiest for phone usage.

    I appreciate you for your help. I have it, dvd_9efdf454.iso. It's two editions ISO. So I still need the reliable tool for rebuild ISO to get any of it's existing editions. And It's not a trivial task. All three WIMs have to be rebuild.

    I can;t find that ISO but when you run the tool i mentioned you will be able to select the desired index to keep.
