If MIUI, then there's a newer version on MIUI pro.
You can back up boot image as @pryerlee said or via Flashify. For META-INF, we can take it from Elephone (as it's newer Android version so might be different) and just modify some lines (like the partition id's or the getprop lines at the beginning).
@n_s218 thank you, works great! This might be the beginning of custom ROMs for this device :victory:

1. most of file empty (look at with hex editor) actually ~8 mb
2.boot partition backup file(boot.img) you must rename boot.elf and extract with flashtool elf extractor . you will get two file : boot.elf.0 = kernel , boot.elf.1=ramdisk

Thanks man...

yes. right.
also you can boot.sin in ftf file ectract with flashtool sin editor

So I've tried to port Euphoria OS from P6000 using this guide.
I've done the ROM part, the updater script was also fine, but I've failed to port kernel: tried both tools mentioned there, Michfood's tool gave error for p6000 boot IMG, carliv's for both.
I've tried to flash the ROM with stock boot IMG, but with it the phone shuts down after Sony logo.
BTW I've backed up stock boot IMG via TWRP, but this shouldn't matter imo.
So can anyone help me with kernel?
EDIT: I'll try if the kernel in MIUI gives error too.
EDIT2: yes, same... Carliv's kitchen says unsupported archive format for ramdisk, Michfood's says something about that end offset is lower than start...
EDIT3: found this alternative for stock boot IMG. Still no solution for p6000 one
EDIT4: successfully decompiled P6000 kernel via Carliv's kitchen 1.0, by choosing regular Android (not mtk) mode. So now both kernels are decompiled but via different tool, so the output is not the same... Still didn't try the tool from EDIT3, it might be the solution.
EDIT5: I have no idea how to use tool from EDIT3 Now I'm downloading ftf, will see if I can do sth... Also I'll try this other tutorial for 64bit.

Get your own CWM recovery for newer devices and dont beg anywhere - 2 simple steps

Those who struggle to get CWM recovery for thier newer devices and who are facing problem on romdump your stock rom to get stock recovery.img here you have 2 simple steps to get your CWM recovery for your new device
Step -1
Creating A Dump\Backup
Note: Root Required
1. Set "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Sleep" -> "10 minutes"
2. Install or update "Busybox" from play store
3. Set your phone to "Airplane" mode
4. Make sure that the card is not less than 2Gb of free space
5. Use any one of the following:
BakupTool_sdcard.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard/backup_v2
BakupTool_sdcard2.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard2/backup_v2
6. Extract the BakupTool_* to sdcard. Full path to the file should be: / sdcard / gscript
7. Install program: /sdcard /gscript /"GScriptLite.apk"
8. Open the program "GScriptLite". Press "Menu button" -> "Add Script"
9. Set tick "Needs SU"
10. Click "Load file" and select "back_mt657x.sh"
11. Click the button "Save"
12. Tap on a new script, "back_mt657x.sh". After that give the program root permissions if asked and wait for 5- 10 minutes. Do not use the phone during the process.
A sign of a normal shutdown of the script is:
Message in the terminal:

My device is different. Technically I have cwm recovery already. It's just only accessible through a fast boot command. This allows me to have a nandroid back up already so I just took the recovery.img from a stock back up

I tried this for a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109 to try and build a touch recovery. It already has a unofficial cwm recovery non touch, so I used that as the recovery.img. It put out 2 recovery.img's. One was a recovery.img and the other inputreovery.img. I'm not sure what one I should flash or if I'm supposed to flash both. Would it put out errors if it didn't work?
Thanks for this post and any help you can give.

If it gives error like black screen or volume key unfunction means it is not compiled properly but don't worry your device won't brick and u can revert back ur recovery by placing original.img on the root of phone storage and flash through mobileuncle tool..all the best

Three Questions and I'm gonna try this out:
1. If the CWM recovery I build from CWM builder doesn't work, can I flash back the stock recovery by Mobile Uncle Tools, I mean won't it brick the device, can I still boot? I have a MT6577 device.
2. Does the script provided here backups up the stock recovery on Ice Cream Sandwich?
3. What else does this script do? Backup the whole phone?

Okay, Thank you.
I will try and update you on this.
Edit: After flashing recovery, I got blank screen in recovery mode.
thanx mate , really a helpfu guide i have Xtouch x714 with Allwinner A13 chip
before i tried many A13 CWM none of them worked not even boot , they nearly damage my tablet
thank god there is Phoneixcard i was able to revive it .
Anyway , your methode of getting the recovery.img from [gscript] did not work for me , it kept give me errors
even though it shows 100% complete
so i used another method to get my recovery.img , hence my tablet is an Allwinner A13 chip, so
i used [ Rom Dump ] which a small and powerful tool run it in Windows from [ http://www.techknow.me ]
it uses ADB so u have to be rooted and enable developer mode in your device and have ADB drivers in your PC
it backup image of your system and boot.img , recovery.img and data
so i used the extracted recovery.img in the site you provide me and i got my new recovery.img and flash it to my tablet via NovoTools 1.0
and i test it , it works like charm , thanx again mate really helpful
step 2 no working....website down?
Black Screen
When I flashed recovery made through it, it gave me a black screen Is there any way to fix this??
the online one is not working
i tried twice for micromax a84... i got the CWM recovery and flashed it via mobile uncle tools...but it didnt work
?
after hitting "build" it states
your build has been queued.The
build id is
9b42b141e21a35c4007c250f45ab2039
continue to the build sever
view the current build output
when i hit either option i get "HTTP ERROR 404.
can anyone else see my build id and if so can you download it and link it to me via PM.
or what can i do to get my image

4.get files from your phone.
5. make your system files as system.zip (will get from backup of your rom)
get files from your system.zip
the tool will look like not responding but its copying rom files
6. get files from port rom

I assume you use dsixda's kitchen.
Set up working folder for stock rom
Go to advanced > tools for boot.img
> unpack boot.img
Navigate to the folder called Boot-extracted.
> rename it to something else (for now: stock boot)
Set up working folder for port rom.
Go to advanced > unpack boot.img
Do a google search for 'winmerge' > install program (free).
Open winmerge, for left navigate to the 'stock boot' folder, and select init.rc (about 40kb)
For right, navigate to the port 'boot-extracted', and select init.rc (about 40kb)
In winmerge find lines like this
Chmod camera blablabla (on the left pane you will see where there are differences)
Chown camera blablabla
If there are differences in those lines, copy the stock lines, and overwrite the port ones
Save the files (crtl+s)
Navigate to boot extracted folder, you can close winmerge. Copy stock Zimage (from 'stock boot' folder) to port, and overwrite the Zimage there with stock one.
Go back to kitchen, > advanced > tools for boot.img > build new boot image.
Unable to open your site for downloading ROM, could you reupload please.

I dont think you've booted into TWRP yet, I think you're looking at bootloader, select recovery and see if it boots to TWRP.
TWRP has more than just 2 options, are you sure you have TWRP? What version is it? Does it look like this?
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a730280544c/Screenshot_2017-02-17-12-15-48.png?
If that's what you have, select Install then find your .img and flash it.

I remember now that TWRP doesn't flash system.img correctly, system.img isn't a standard .img, you need PC and use fastboot.

I know it is too late, but you can enter in Advaced > Terminal and then run this command:
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
If your mobile phone doesnt have by-name symlinks you will need to enter the correct partition.

hi aex, I have the same problem but I dont have the folder
/bootdevice/by-name............
can you help me?
it will not work.
try to make a folder and "mount -o loop file in it.
and it will be not mounted also if you specify file system type.
(if it work probably you can use the file)
so ,i don't know how fastboot write in partition or probably
in to file system.
however if you do a dd of your current system partition in a file , after will be correctly mounted , or rewrited correctly in the original partition if you need.
then probably you cannot use fastboot system.img directly in twrp shell (using dd)
this is my experience (e2303 sony / pexorom 3.0 twrp 3.1.1)
if you are searching a fast way to know system partition device block
cat /etc/fstab
and look for system
or just mount system in twrp , then in a terminal do a
df -h
and search for system
for e2303 was /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
(example)
twrp have busybox and light kernel.
so , is linux.
for better support try to ask
tonystark88
u need to use simg2img
(sparse file format compression)
system partition device name can be different on other phones.
done.
img can be write by twrp whitout pc/fastboot.
c'ya
giuseppe
just go to file manager and search for system partition, and on first part type your system.img location and 2 part type just system location
I did this Steps on my Huawei P8. Sim2Img reported a non sparse image, so i moved directly to the DD steps. But after writing the image to the partition, the /system Partition cannot get mountet...
What the hell iam doing wrong ????
I extracted the system.img from an update.app Firmware file.
Its the same Firmware file i flashed before with the dload method.
I want to install TWRP on my Phone with an faulty USB Port. So i have no PC / ADB. I Installed the Firmware via the official Dload Method from Huawai. Then i used this crappy Kingroot to get root and installed TWRP. Now i wanted to flash the stock system partition to get rid of Kingroot for Safetynet.
But why i cant just flash the systempartition ?
Or is there another way to gain root for 15 seconds without traces ?

Why not just use the settings in Kingroot to remove root? Or convert from Kingroot to SuperSu then use SuperSu app settings to remove root?
You don't have to flash the stock system to remove root.
Sent from my LGL84VL using Tapatalk
Kingroots uninstall leaves traces in /system/xbin and Safetynet wont work. Why i did not try Supersu ? :-/
But i managed to flash the system.img without problems.
First i tryed an extracted system.img from the Huawei Firmware extractor and Sim2img reported an invalid sparse image. So i thought it must be a raw image.....And this was my mistake. It is a useless image for TWRP.
So i created a flashable zip (TWRP cant flash this, too and the /system partition is not mountable after flashing / installing this zip.
BUT, the system.img INSIDE this zip is a spase image, which sim2img can handle. It gave me a nice raw image which i just dd´d to /system and BINGO, my phone starts up normally
The Short Version :
- Create a FLASHABLE ZIP with the Huawei Firmware Extractor
- use SIM2IMG in TWRP Terminal to get a RAW Image.
- dd´it to the /system partition
System img
You use the restore in twrp to flash your system img, you just until the other boxes

Lenovo K5 Pro ROM img
After flashing img file (using TWRP 3.3.1) the phone (Lenovo k5 pro) starts in bootloader mode. Everyone can help?
Help u
Hi u can download a deodexed rom because ais doesn't support some stock roms for ex ch Samsung roms. then decompile it.then decompile it with rar or zarchiver or etc. Then install android image studio (ais) from google
Then open it and tap unpack/mount and select system.img or system.img.ext4 file in decompiled rom . After mounting, copy all files to a directory for ex emulated/0/system/system or another. Attention if you copy it in another directory, rename it as (system) now copy the boot.img from decompiled rom into emulated/0/system .then download this file
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...oid-o-beta-redesigned-emoji-set-t3608280/amp/
Extract meta-inf file into emulated/0/system using winrar or zarchiver or etc. Now you need to have a system folder,boot.img file and a Meta-inf in diractory emulated/0/system. Now compress system,boot.img and meta-inf into one archive and after completing, turn of your device and boot it into twrp recovery and wipe data and cache without wipping internal storage then select install. Then tap select storage and select internal storage.then go to the file and select it and turn off zip singuature verification and install it after installing tis rom, install root zip file and wipe cache/dalvik art and then reboot your device. It may take between 5-25 minutes to boot. Enjoy your new rom
#issues
Sometimes your device maybe take bootloop so you need to install your stock boot.img file and after installing your root zip file choose wipe cache/dalvik art and then reboot your system.
#Alert
1.Don't install the recovery.img file which exists in the decompiled rom because it takes your device into recovery mod and not boot anymore and after you need to install the stock rom using PC
2.your device maybe take bootloop in this method so do it with your own risk

All suggestions and helps are welcome here so please help me in improving this thread by suggesting your ideas.
This guide will work for any SPRD phone (any SPRD chip) from Old versions of android to latest Oreo but recoveries that I provided in this thread will work for devices from KitKat to Marshmallow no guarantees for older or newer versions.
Buckup! Backup! Backup!​
Before modifying system it's highly recommended to have full dump of your device. So don't forget to take backup.
It's simple to get custom recovery for rooted users as they can directly backup, modify and flash recovery or boot images on the go with the help of root. But non-rooted users need to do some extra which will be explained later. Follow the below steps:
=>Download and setup AIK (Android Image Kitchen)
=>Grab your stock_recovery.img
For rooted users​Install Flashify, Rashr, Partitions Backup or like apps (available on play store for free) and backup the stock recovery. If you are using Flashify to backup you have to rename the backed up image with .img extention
For non-rooted users​Download your stock firmware which will be in .pac extension extract it using this guide and copy the recovery.img
=>Now download custom recovery (for downloads see 2nd post)
=>Port recovery
For PC version of AIK​
• Extract the AIK on desktop in a folder (extracting inside other folder(s) is not recommended)
• Place stock_recovery.img (use the name recovery.img only I added stock to refer the image) in earlier extracted folder
• Now double click on 'unpacking.bat'
• Now you'll see two folders 'ramdisk (mostly executables)' and 'split-img (kernel to boot recovery) rename those folders like this 'ramdisk.s' and 'split_img.s' (renaming is used to avoid copying/moving needed files)
• Now delete the earlier pasted stock_recovery.img and paste custom_recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img)
• Unpack it just like stock_recovery
• Delete the split-img and rename the 'split_img.s' to split_img
• Open recovery.fstab from /ramdisk.s/etc (stock recovery's fstab) and /ramdisk/etc (custom recovery's fstab) using Notepad++ or with your favorite note editor. In case of TWRP recovery this file will be named as twrp.fstab if there is recovery. fstab you can ignore it.
• Edit the partition names and mount points in custom recovery with your stock recovery's fstab. But in most cases the mount points will be shown like this 'mmclbk0p17 for system partition' in that case you need to change custom recovery.fstab with the mount points of your device, to find out mount points of partitions install Diskinfo from play store and enable all options in it which will show complete information regarding each and every partition on your device
• At last double click on 'repackimg.bat' now you'll see 'image-new.img' which is ported custom_recovery.img for your device
• The final step is flashing the recovery. It's easy for rooted users simply use Flashify app to flash. For non-Root users you need to flash it over fastboot mode for this look at this thread.
For mobile version of AIK​
You can also port the recovery on-the-go using AIK-Mobile unfortunately to use this needs your device must be rooted with BusyBox (Stephen (stericson) is recommended) installed.
It's a flashable zip but you can extract the zip and place the files manually. Follow below steps for setup:
• Extract the AIK-Mobile.zip
• Paste the AIK-Mobile folder under data/local of extracted zip to /data/local
• Paste files under /bin of extracted zip to /data/local/AIK-Mobile/bin
• Make sure all files including folders are having these permissions "-rwrx-xr-x-".
For placing files, changing permissions and executing scripts 'Explorer' by speed software is recommended.
For porting follow above steps (steps in PC version of AIK) the only difference here is .bat files of PC version will be as .sh in mobile version which are to be executed as root for unpacking and repackaging images.
Note:Follow the instructions properly, don't quote entire OP while asking for help. Due to some touch related drivers missing in kernel of recovery in some devices touch recovery won't work in that case please use Non-Touch recovery. In lollipop or later versions don't flash <3.x.x versions which may result in SD card mounting issues and even flashing errors. First test the recovery that you ported by flash a simple mode (I prefer AIK-Mobile since it doesn't modify the system partition hence there is not chance of bootloop. Also see whether wipe options works properly or not in some devices wiping (even cache) takes ~10m in that case goto settings check the option "use rm -rf instead of formatting".
Hit thanks button instead of posting thanks it'll boost me to create more threads like this.

Read again carefully you have to pack custom recoveries ramdisk with stock split_img and reversing the process will mess up the recovery and then you have to flash the stock recovery. So read the guide carefully step-by-step and follow the process exactly unless you know different working method.

Give it a try it may work. But none of the recoveries that are provided here will work for your device, you need to find Android 7.0 and later recoveries which will be compatible with your chipset model.

TWRP has nothing to do with boot.img. If you are not able to boot to recovery try different key combination. Is you messed up recovery too then flash it via fastboot and then flash the stock Rom.

Hello, this is my first post
Don't let me waste time...
Requirements
1.Stock boot.img for your phone model (its best its for your Build Number / Variant ) . You can extract from the stock rom / firmware of your device OR backup from your device using a box e.g Miracle box, CM2, etc
2.Download Latest Magisk Manager
Steps on how to root an Elephone P8 Max using Magisk Manager and patched boot.img
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img

2.Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
3.Launch Magisk Manager app
4.If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
5.If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
6.Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
7.Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
8.Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
9.Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on you
1.Sp Flashtool
2.Fastboot
3.Miracle Box
1. For Sp Flashtool copy the patched boot.img with mt6755 scatter file and make sure to rename patched boot.img to boot.img before flashing
2.For fastboot copy the patched boot.img to your fastboot folder and press shift right click on a free space in the fastboot folder, you would see open command here. Click on it and boot your Elephone P8 Max to fastboot with power+volume up and use volume down to select fastboot and connect your Elephone P8 Max. Your PC type fastboot devices to check if the system as seen it. Now type fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
You are done.
3.For miracle box rename the file from .img to .bin before flash.
In case you lazy..:laugh:

works, but after switch off an boot into recovery, just normal android 7 starts, no twrp.
When boot finished, touching on display does not work anymore.
Any hinds?
Elephone P8_Max
Android 7.0
Build-Number:
Elephone_P8_Max_20171221
Thanks for any help.

Because you flash boot.img as recovery
That why your phone is getting that fault
You are suppose to flash boot
Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img OK
Or use sp flashtool or miracle box
I included the scatter file
I have the twrp but it doesn't touch only if you use otg with Mouse
Alternative scatter file for MT6750
Hi lmkratos,
thank you very much!
This worked like a charm but I had to use a different scatter file (attached here) as the P8 Max has a MT6750 (not MT6755) and the PMT didn't match so spflash refused to flash boot ("PMT changed for the ROM").
If you happen to be on Linux: spflash works perfectly but take care to stop ModemManager (WAN modems) before flashing as it interferes, so
"service ModemManager stop".
