Can anybody compile mkbootimg for linux x86 or have a up to date compiled mkbootimg? Since the one's I found in other threads dosen't have --base parameter support.
Thx in advance!
hi there
i need some help
if someone could pack these for me it will be great.
couse i can not do it by my self.
boot.img-kernel and ramdisk-new.gz
here is the unpacked boot.img
http://www.mediafire.com/?njygqtmnypx7t8l
someone, anybody please pack them if you could with these values
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE no command line just kernel and page
---------------------------------------------------
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE ------> ffff8000 <------
BOARD_PAGE_SIZE ------> 3270696 <------
---------------------------------------------------
i could not pack these values 3270696
it says page size error
my command line
./mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --base 0xffff8000 --pagesize 3270696 -o boot_new.img
I want to mod my stock boot.img for init.d support, but I'm not sure what "base" and "pagesize" parameters to use with mkbootimg. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks! So, these settings are specific to the kernel. I see that for CM kernel, I would use:
BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE := 4096
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x40000000
I was also trying to modify the stock boot.img for my device (p3110) and I came across a tool called "unmkbootimg" found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877807
When I use this new tool to extract the stock boot.img, I get this:
mkbootimg --kernel kernel.gz --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x80000000 --cmdline 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=1024M androidboot.console=ttyO2 vram=20M omapfb.vram=0:16M androidboot.carrier=wifi' -o new_boot.img
When I use the tool to extract the CM10 boot.img, I get this:
mkbootimg --kernel kernel.gz --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x40000000 --pagesize 4096 -o new_boot.img
cool.
I build the kernel from the source,and packed the zImage into boot.img.
But it did not work, after a burn the boot.img into the phone nx403a.
I will descript the build process and packet proccess ,later.
I build the source ,get the zImage,
and I use "mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x80200000 --cmdline 'console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 maxcpus=4' -o new_boot.img"
to get the new_boot.img .
But it also doesn't work after I burn it use "dd if=new_boot.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk2\Partition7".
Hi,
Sir please understand that this forum is not a "helpdesk" providing technical assistance but more to point you in the correct direction with your problem. Perhaps you can't find posts on how to root your phone, install custom recovery or maybe you have questions about how to navigate and use features on the site.
I suggest reading a couple of the relevant kernel tutorials found here....

Good luck
I've been trying for like hours to unpack and repack a boot.img.
I never made this before, I was reading much (actually too much) on the internet on how getting this done.
So... I downloaded some tools for unpacking and repacking the boot.img and followed this tutorial:
http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Unmkbootimg
and I suceeded. But when I repack it (WITHOUT modifying ANYTHING), and try to flash the "new" boot.img to the phone, the phone turns on and then shows up on the upper left corner of the screen "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" and stays there. It goes no further. I simply unpacked it and then repacked it (to see if I made the whole process right, before screwing anything up).
I saw something curious: The original boot.img is 14.3MB and the new boot.img only 14.0MB. Is there anything that got lost in the process? Remember that I set all the "adresses" to the files right.
Unpacking command:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Área de Trabalho/UNPACKTOOLS$ ./umkbootimg boot.img

To recompile this image, use:
mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x0 --cmdline 'console=ttyS1,115200n8' -o new_boot.img

[email protected]:~/Área de Trabalho/UNPACKTOOLS$
And repacking:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Área de Trabalho/UNPACKTOOLS$ ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio --base 0x0 --cmdline 'console=ttyS1,115200n8' -o new_boot.img --pagesize 2048 --ramdiskaddr 0x1000000
[email protected]:~/Área de Trabalho/UNPACKTOOLS$
I also tried without those adresses. Without luck.
The phone is a (Samsung J1) "J120H" with Android 5.1.1.
And the boot image I obtained by downloading the stock rom and unpacking ONLY the "boot.img". Remember: When I flash this file alone, IT WORKS. When I unpack and repack it, it stops working.
Here are the tools which came and my boot.img (unmodified from stock rom): https://volafile.io/get/overPkOTw66W/ToolsWithBootImg.zip
If anyone can direct me in the right way, I would be very happy.
Or maybe even modify the boot.img for me, set "secure=0" and repack it. Because my main goal is to root the device.
Thanks.
Anyone?

Nobody knows how to unpack a boot.img?

Not exactly answer to your problem. I tried same thing - just unpacking and repacking It stuck at boot saying 'fastboot reason fall through normal boot mode'
This SO: has similar post : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27889621/error-with-repacking-boot-img-android
I suspect the base address is wrong in all three cases.
May be if you are searching for solution we can search together

Changing --base 0x0 to --base 0x10008000 does the trick. You may need to play around with your device PHYS_OFFSET. For more read this https://lyncd.com/2011/03/android-kernel-mkbootimg-base/
