Extracted the odin files for gri54 , can they be used for fastboot

I download the odin files containing gri54 european version .. When I extract the tar files I get .img files .. My thought was that could use those files with fastboot to restore to stock without using odin .. Is this true? And what are the .img files for ?
I have
boot.img (is this the kernel ?)
recovery.img ( stock recovery ?)
system.img
userdata.img
bootloader.img
dgs.img
Does anybody know where are those files can be used for and suppose I want to go back to stock ..Which files do i have to use with fastboot ?

Looks like fastboot images to me.
Boot is ramdisk & kernel, recovery will indeed be the stock one. Just try it, if they're not right they won't flash.
Not sure what the DGS one is though.

Bingo
Yeah, you put them images in your android tools directory, and they can be used via fastboot to revive your *almost* dead phone. You do not need the DGS.img one though

As far as I know the dgs is what the csc is for the galxay s .. It contains configuration for the networkoperators .. but I could be wrong ..
So suppose I flashed a custom kernel and I do not like it anymore if I do fastboot flash boot.img from the stock gri54 I will have stock kernel again ?

Kinda, it will replace the kernel, but not any libs that may have come with it.

AT&T system, boot, and recovery files?

I have the RUU installer for the AT&T One X, but the automated flashing isn't working too well for me. Is there a way I can unpack it and access the boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img so I can flash them myself?

[Q] How do I get the standard default.prop file back on the root file system?

At the root file system on my Android phone, there's a file called default.prop. Right now that's a non-standard file because of CF-Auto-Root, but I want that file to be the stock version (1).
After what I have understood, /default.prop file is overwritten on every boot from a default.prop file within the boot partition.
My phone is rooted with CF-Auto-Root, but I've replaced the boot and bootloader partitions with factory image versions:
$ fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
But still I get the non-stock default.prop file. What am I doing wrong?
(1) This is because I'm trying to upgrade to Android 5.1, and right now I'm getting an error because "this device has google/omni_hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/eng.dees_troy.20150214.172938:eng/test-keys".

Don't bother messing with reverting everything just to update, it is extremely unlikely to work since as of Lollipop Google has changed the OTA method to check the sum of the entire partition rather than only what it cares about.
Download the 5.1 factory images, and flash system.img, boot.img, cache.img, radio.img and bootloader.img (don't flash userdata.img unless you want to wipe all your data), then boot into a custom recovery and flash the latest SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu).

Can't boot Honor 6 after firmware flash

Hi,
I have installed twrp on my Honor 6 (h60-l04), i tried to flash another firmware but now I can't boot it, theres only a frozen "HONOR" startscreen. I tried to install another firmware (original from huawei), but its no .img file , its a dload file with "update.app" in it. How can I flash the original firmware on my phone? (its Unlocked)
Please help me

follow this method http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f929/huawei-honor-6-tools-1900692/

You can flash the full Stock ROM manually too by following these steps, how to extract UPDATE.APP is also given
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Update process will start, let it finish.
Your device will be as good as new after this.
