Extract it from the kernel ZIP you're downloading from Tiamat site. As simple as that.

Cayniarb doesn't put a boot.img in his ZIP, it's split into parts, so it's a bit more complicated than that.

Oh damn. Went downloading, checked. Here's the procedure:
Get into recovery.
Connect with USB to PC.
Flash the kernel in recovery (I know it won't flash, but you don't need it to).
Execute the following command on your PC:
adb pull /tmp/newboot.img

Congratulations, you have your new boot.img. Reboot to fastboot and flash it.

Thanks mate!

Help! FASTBOOT MODE-No boot or recovery img

I'm not sure what my girlfriend exactly did to her nexus s i9020T. Can someone please help me fix it? I can access CWM Recovery v6.0.1.0. Yes I already tried to restore her backup image. During the restoring I got
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Everything else seemed to restore just fine. Any ideas would be appreciated!

[Q] Stock Recovery

If I flash the stock ICS firmware back to my phone, will it also flash the stock recovery since im currently running the CWM Recovery?

If you use the official Odin image, I believe so.
If it doesn't, there is an official stock Recovery image that is Odin flashable floating around somewhere.

Yes it will.

What is considered as a stock odin image? Would it just have to be a stock tar. file from the NooB sticky? Is Sammobile the best place to get this file?
Thanks

Yes and yes.

I use sammobile. But you'll have to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip you download from Sam. Use 7-zip to do that.

Stock Recovery

Hi there!
I just flashed my recovery with the CWM recovery image, but I noticed that I need the Stock Recovery to install the OTA update; is there a place where I can download it?
Thnks in advance

Why do you need the ota anyways? You can restore using rsd lite.

There's file called "recovery_signed" inside zip archive of full RSD-aimed firmware. That is stock recovery which should be flashed as follows:
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed

[Q] Odin to flash .ZIP

Hi just a quick question it says in the instruction that I shouldn't use .zip file link to the instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659, how can I install this recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip?
Here is the link for the tut that I follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541&highlight=how+to

You can only flash the zip in a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery you need to install it with Odin. You'll need a .tar.md5 recovery file to flash in Odin.

The instruction says to use this version of recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip the only problem is that it is in .zip format, does this recovery has a version of .tar.md5? Or an alternative recovery file that I can install using Odin to install the kikat custom rom? Thanks for the reply and help.

Use this in odin ] This will install twrp custom recovery. Once installed then flash (install) your recovery zip in it.
The recovery.tar.zip needs to be extracted with 7-zip.
EDIT, I edit this post to remove the the dev host link. DO NOT use the dev host file. Use the.tar.zip
