Probably a better way to do this but I've come up with this solution which converts the number to decimal and then back to hex (and manually adds the 0x):
printf '0x%xn' "$((16#00080000))"
Which you could write as:
printf '0x%xn' "$((16#$(expr substr "$SUPERBLOCK" 64 8)))"

Thank you! I actually added |rev inside to convert to big-endian: printf "$((16#$(expr substr $SUPERBLOCK 64 8|rev)))"

@DenisNovac I'm not sure if you use big/little endian correctly (maybe you have something else on mind, but I'm doing some assembly programming for fun, so for me endianness is per bytes), but 0x12345678 is in other endianness 0x78563412, not 0x87654321. (and the value in your question00080000is after byte swap00000800, i.e. 2048 decimal)

@DenisNovac: You didn't have the right answer FYI. 0x8000 was originally in your question which is not the same as 0x80000 or 0x00080000

Yes, but i needed to get exactly 0x8000, so i've made mistake somewhere before. This is offset or something.
