I don't think there is. Maybe I'm wrong too.
Basically all these boot.img tools are written in shell/bash and is made specifically to run in Linux distros.
Anyways there is an Android app called, Complete Linux Installer that lets you install any Linux OS in your phone. But I doubt whether boot.img tools work, as it needs various library files for it to work.
On a side note, I guess it would be more complex to do it in phone rather than in PC, if there is some way for it to work.

Thank you for your reply, but do you feel strange that the IMG is created by the recovery, so it is rational that there is a tool about IMG building. then why there is no apk. I mean some professional can extract just from the CWM recovery, I think.
need root
if you wanna get boot.img i think you must be rooted.

yes, I root, so I can use the recovery to back and restore,
I think any app that can access zip files in the internal and external memory can extract boot.img.
Like ASTRO File Manager and stuff...
recovery?
You wanna install a rom?
or recovery??
or we speak about boot.img? (Boot img is the boot animation when you turn on your phone.)

Nooooo
boot.img is the kernel (zImage + Ramdisk packed into an image file) that lies in the /boot partition
@ OP - If you want to extract boot.img itself, there are various methods and from CWM recovery like you said. I thought you were mentioning about how to unpack the contents of the boot.img say like zImage, Ramdisk and other files.

Yes, that's the tool and it works :good:
But as OP mentioned, he wanted to do it within phone, I highly doubt though.

It could be done using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20227868&postcount=1124 and a hex editor from play store on your phone. But would be even more fiddly than on pc I would imagine, unless your phone has a largish screen. It could be done though.
If editing the ramdisk, you would need to unpack and repack after editing, which usually requires linux. I recently found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036528 for PC, but have not had a chance to try it yet, seems best solution for OP

thank you coolsandie, the android is based on linux, isn't it, and if I can, I can install busybox.and using the terminal like Android Terminal Emulator, but I do not know the procedure. like you, it's more complex,

I don't think you need them. Unpacking and packing boot images is pretty straightforward since Huawei's boot images have the same format as stock Android AOSP boot images. You can use the utilities you mentioned to unpack without need of any ELF file.
disasm

Since i have soe experience on other phones and the best way is always with disasm and reasm of the files. Don't want to put the whole sdk or git files on my comp.
The best way I'm doing it is with phone throught adb bridge.
So I'm looking for the executable files for it (mkbootimg,unmkbootimg), have found only PIE version of Marshmallow for it.
Can any one please help.
Thx in advance.

Look into the systemless root tools , those should do what you're looking for.

Hi! i want to edit the bootlogo but its in a .mbn format. can someone tell me how to convert this to an image i can simply edit like .png or if its possible, to edit the .mbn itself wthout converting. Thanks in advance
AFAIK, mbns are compressed files. You should look for a way to decompress it.
A quick search shows that you can decompress it using unyaffs (a linux utility).
i dont have linux so i found a unyaffs version for windows but everytime i open it my antivirus triggers and deletes the program. so i redownloaded it and disabled my av. then i opened it again and it froze, had to open taskmanager to shut it down. are there any other ways to use this tool on Windows?
i found another version of unyaffs for windows but now it says "broken image file" replaced the image twice, still didnt work.its not broken as its the same image that is loaded when i boot my phone up. HELP!
well, its finally extracted and edited, but how do i put it back?

Glad you found answers to your questions yourself, well almost for all you asked:good:
I need help converting an Allwinner U-Boot .bin file to .fex file so I can stitch it into my android update. I can't quite figure out how to accomplish this. I have found multiple resources to accomplish this but it confuses me a little bit. I'm utilizing a 'Live USB' Xubuntu Distro to attempt this. Basically I need a tiny tutorial of commands to enter so I can succeed.
Alternatively, would a native Linux user convert the file for me using 'Sunxi-tools' bin2fex? I attached the file that needs converted, in case that's an option.
If there's anymore information I need to relay to accomplish this task, please let me know.
