I dont know why ts not working for me. After re-packing, it gives a file "new-image.img" and not "recovery.img". And also reccovery folder gets a "new-image.img" automatically. If it is supposed to work like this. Even this I tried to flash it on my mobile (MI3), it loses CWM whole and goes directly into fastboot. Thanks it didnt brick my mobile but something is definitely odd when repacking.

Sure, I renamed the "new-image.img" as recovery.img and put it back into old Cwm.zip And got the fastboot. Lost recovery completely two times. Thanks for reply though.

Simple XDA splash, black

7/11: I have posted new versions of each. The white is toned down a bit to match the HTC EVO emblem, and not be overwhelming. And both fonts have been smoothed so it looks much better.
I also changed the file in each zip to contain the correct name so those of you having problems should be able to run the command without changing filenames.
Mirrors also added!
Hey guys, I made this to represent xda when I boot
Thought I would share
The files attached can be flashed through bootloader.
Boot your phone into fastboot (hold vol up key while powering phone on, select fastboot)
Now open command. To verify your computer is recognizing your phone, type
Code:
fastboot devices
This should list your device. After that, you want to unzip the file you downloaded and place it in your android sdk tools folder.
Now, back in command, change to your tools directory and enter
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565
Remember to back up anything you don't wanna lose, and nandroid. Not responsible for anything that happens if you don't
That said I have flashed it and it works.. enjoy

Are you booted in fastboot? Did you put the raw file into your sdk folder?
If not maybe it needs the original raw file in there too.. I didn't think it should tho. If you wanna try I have attached it. You could try dropping that in tools too and running the same command. Even though thats not the file its looking for.. so it leads me to believe one of previous should fix it
It looks awesome. I think I will leave that one on there for a while. Well at least a couple of days
I flashed mine a little differently though. I changed the name of the file to evosplash1.rgb565 and ran
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565

It worked great. Im not sure if your command accomplishes the same thing though (noobness talking)

says cannot load the file..not sure what i'm doing, my sdk tools is on my desktop do i need to cd to it or what.
EDIT: nevermind, sometimes i'm so stupid
Looks great
I have a desaturated theme going on so the orangish color won't work. Might use it in the future... unless you want to make a black/white version <3

I think I figured out your problem. I forgot I changed the names of these files before zipping them so you will need to change them to splash and then run the command. I've added new versions anyway with the correct file names so you can try those too.

I have searched a lot, but couldn't find any post like this. So I thought I would post it here. This is NOT purely my work, and I do not take credit for it as such .
NO NEED ANDROID KITCHEN FOR UNPACK REPACK IMG's
This is the easiest way to unpack .img files with extracted ramdisk. So, Lets Start
At first Download the tool from HERE
For MTK (chineese) phones - use MTK_unpack.bat (MTK_pack.bat)
For android standard phones - use STD_unpack.bat (STD_pack.bat)
Here I am showing you about MTK (chineese) phones .img unpack-repack....
Instructions
1. Extract the file in any where you want
2. You will see this files
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Then Copy your .img file in this folder like this
Remember the file should be named as boot.img or recovery.img
4. Just Drag and Drop .img files into unpack.bat for unpacking. Then you will see this.
5. A folder will be created there. I unpacked boot.img so here is the all file you want
6. To repack, again just drag and drop the folder into pack.bat. you will see this
7. New .img file created. Rename it as you want. So All done. Enjoy.

My device is LG GX F310, original boot.img 24MB, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx0NlR3rjLYeUS14YmxESGc3bWc/edit?usp=docslist_api after unpacked and repacked new boot.img only has 11MB. And can't boot into system. Could you help me?
Work with MT6752?
this tool isn't working under Windows 10, that unpack all files except "rmdisk" folder.
the rmdisk is empty...
I tried to use this tool to unpack the lienageOS recovery ROM from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s5neolte/install
When I change the name and drag it to unpack it, it doesn't work and I get these error messages.
'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program o - Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Am I doing something obvious wrong?
I tried it for my stock boot.img(Mi 11 lite 5g NE-Snapdragon 778G) and the unpacked items didn't satisfy me. Looks like it isn't for snapdragon chipset. BTW I'm looking for similar tool to extract kernel from boot.img of this device.Thnaks though for uploading the tool.

If your backup's a .img file, you can just extract it with an archive manager and copy the .\rom folder out of it.
That's the problem, it's not an .img file ...

What type of file is it, then?
If it has no file extension (Windows calls these just "Files"), try adding the .img extension, as sometimes backups are saved without an extension but really are .img files.

The backup means nandroid backup right?
If you can't extract those files , just listen what I said below
There is a folder which contain data.tar , system.tar ,an img file ...
You can also see a system.tar.a , rename it into system.tar and extract it . It contains all the system files .
Do the same step for all files in the backup folder .
Hope I helped you

You don't need to get it. That folder creates itself when the backup is restored on a device, and is generally not included when a backup is made.
But does it mean I don't need it when I want to port?

Thanks for sharing. But I can not see any system img files via 7zip without previously repaired. May I use repaired system img files?
You must be doing something wrong. I've tried WWE and Orange PL and both extract without repairing.

Since i never needed to extract a System.img I never looked for a method but I will remember this. Seems fairly straightforward.
And thanks for the creds.
I will try this one.
Btw, i made a backup with twrp. Ia there any way to get the backed up system.emmc.win file extracted? Renaming it to .tar doesn't work.
What I try to achive is an extracted ROM so I can deodex the apks

add .tar to the end of each image and under Linux or cygwin use tar -xvf xxxx.tar
Hmm... Hoped there's anything for win 8.1
...setting up cygwin
Edit: @LeeDroid
Nothing happens when doing the command in the cygwin window...
Worked like a charm
I did have to edit the ConvertHima.bat and remove the line set wf=%cd%\ for it to work
but everything else was spot on .. thanks!!
Anyone need the 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.32.617.6_R2_Radio_01.01_U11440221_59.04.50303G_2_F_release_426167_signed.zip
System.img or Dump
Worked great I think. I did get an error, and I received this error 4 times for sparse.img, 2,4,6,8. Here is the error: - "1 [main] sparse2img 7912 find_fast_cwd:". It also says "WARNING Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to the public mailing list [email protected]". I wrote cygwin, and got a reply from a Marco stating, "Dear Hal, Same answer as given last month to another guy". Then gave me this link https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-05/msg00318.html. Followed by, "Please report the solution to whom provided the ConvertHima.bat". The answer in the link basically says a utility called rsync is being used, and the person who provided it is bundling it with an old version of the cygwin kernel. I did however get a new system_hima.img, and I started ConvertHima.bat. After completion I have what appears to be a complete system image. It's 3.53Gb in size, and has the folders - app, bin customize, etc, fonts, framework, lib, lib64, lost+found, media, priv-app, tts, usr, vendor, xbin, and has the file build.prop. It appears to have all the Deodexed APK's in app and priv-app. This is from the T-Mobile RUU. I'm using Window 8.1.
I'm trying to create a system dump (1.40.708.9)but was stuck at step 2. Where can I download my ROM.zip?

That could be true. Seems like this is to extract M9's rom from an RUU and not from the phone itself.
