I'm on a doubt whether you meant unpacking or extracting boot.img. Anyways if its unpacking -> you can use Ketut Kumajay's boot.img unpack/repack tools or dsixda's Android kitchen etc.
If you meant extracting boot.img -> you can get it by taking a Nandroid backup in CWM recovery and extracting from it.

lol ive just been uploading it for like the last 6 hours.... oh well now we have a mirror
Thanks a lot! Yesterday I was desperate because the whole Internet relied on lilstevies server
If you already have an android rom installed use the olife -> backup -> stock option and then copy the files from the backup folder to the images folder
Ok any nvflashable image has this three components included, they are just named blob.APP, this is system.img, blob.LNX, this is boot.img, and blob.SOS, this is recovery.img.
Just rename them and you have your files.

Any chance someone still has a valid link? I’ve dug up an old TF101 which could still be useful on Ubuntu…

Welcome Bro,
Its simple. Download any rom which is without boot.img in it. The file will be in .zip format. Just install Winrar into ur computer. Download any boot.img files you like from this page Here. then open the Rom file which doesn't contain boot .zip file using winrar. Click on "ADD" button and select the boot.img file you downloaded. Thats all you now have the rom with boot.img file in zip format dont save because you need not to, its already saved . Make a backup of all your files and Kindly follow all instruction from Developer. ( MY Suggestion:-download one more different ROM because if one rom fails then you can try to install another )
Please correct me if I have said anything wrong. :highfive:

[Q] What's in the .zip file I flash?

Hello xdawesome forum,
If I want to make my own .zip file to flash it using CWM and boot in some linux distro; say debian, what should be included in this .zip file?
Is it as simple as putting my .img file in a .zip file?
I think your best option is to follow this tuto : whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian
If you try to flash directly a debian img, you'll miss some libraries and won't even boot.

@Manu11, are you referring to extracting the boot.img from the firmware?

No no i wanna unpack boot.img so i can change its contents or in simple way create a insecure boot.img
@Manu11, I have seen few such tools but frankly I have no idea and no experience in this regard.

I unpacked my boot.img with android kitchen, but on recompiling its size went 5mb less and on flashing it directly enters fastboot.
The android kitchen is no longer continued from 2011, so the binaries haven't been updated since then.
I suggest you use "android image kitchen"

Help: Extracting ROM, zips, and .img

Hi
i want to know if there is a way to extract and repack the OP6 rom
i found a way to extract the zip into .img files, and found a program that can extract the .img files into standard files/folders
but i still have yet to find a way to repack the files back into a .img to flash via fastboot
can anyone help please.
The best tool is currently Super R's kitchen. Great guy and great Dev, you should support his work.

Where are you getting stuck? I've had no issues personally
edit* Just checked, working on OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_012_all_1806140300_e4bacf signed zip
you can extract the payload.bin with payload extracter:
windows:

WSL / Linux:

I'll try again once I'm behind a PC
were you able to repack an IMG file?

Yes, the tool extracts payload.bin and further extracts boot.img, system.img, vendor.img etc and allows you to work on them and will repack them after :highfive:

fingers crossed
then we can finally have a decrypt base with no avb on partitions, I'll try this soon, do you mind if I PM you if I get stuck?
do I *need* to donate?
I'll help if I can but it's Super R's work and I'm sure he is more than happy to help if you get stuck.
