I found this great tool on a Chinese site:
Thanks to Feiyu for making it possible
It can push files using adb shell like
boot.img
bootloader.img
bootanimation.zip
build.prop
that is you can change "build.prop", "boot animation", "static boot logo" by modifying boot.img of your Allwinner A10 Tab and replacing it to directory.
Default file are for NOVO 7 Advance II.
you can modify boot img with the help of:

Try at your OWN RISK
if boot.img is not proper it will hang on first android logo. then you have to Brush your ROM with livesuit

Hi everybody,,,
I have a problem with my Garmin Asus A10 system partition that made the phone unable to boot and stuck on the startup screen.
I'm able to use fastboot,,,,and I can flash img images.
My main request is i want the system.img and boot.img (if available) dumped files for the garmin asus A10 in order to flash the system partition to bring the phone back to life.
Can anybody upload this file? plz....
I have the raw file: 512_A10_PACKAGE.raw Recovery image but i don't know how to extract the .img files from it.
Thanks,,,,
Hi there XDA! I have a really big question/problem. I want to theme Clockworkmod Recovery with custom pictures/icons/themes and such. So far I installed Ubuntu VM, decompiled the Recovery Image into Kernel and Ramdisk, replaced the pre-loaded icons with my custom icons to the ramdisk. Finally, I recompiled it into a new recovery image!
However, since this program is designed for device boot images, Im still curious, can this be used for recovery images? I haven't editing anything within the kernel, just opened the ramdisk, replaced the /res/images with my own and did abootimg --create newcwm.img.
EDIT : All I know is that in the boot.cfg the boot parameter size has to be exact fit or hardbrick.
so I have attached the 2 files that shows the recovery image data/config of both of them.
Don't worry its just 2 txt files. Inside the other archive has the flash ready images. BOTH OF THEM. Also includes the already decompiled ramdisk and kernel to take a look at. In addition the bootimg.cfg is also in. It has everything you need to know
So, heres the question. If I decide to flash it to mmcblk0p21 which is the verified recovery partition for the GT-i9505, (Info on the partition informations/mount points below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342841
Then, hopefuly the flash to the recovery partition shouldn't hardbrick my device. Am I right? Or missing something.
I will attach both my image and the cwm recovery Image I decompiled. Please if you can tell me if theres something that has to be fixed to prevent me getting a $700 paperweight.
Note: The layout might be confusing inside the Archive, just please bear with me and just take your time. I can wait

Boot Logo Changer
Change the boot image (NOT the bootanimation) that shows BEFORE the boot animation.
This has only been tested on the T285, but should work on the T280.
If in doubt, check to see if your PARAM partition is mmcblk0p16.
There are programs on the Play Store that can show the partitions, there names and other info.
This app does make a backup of the original PARAM partition and stores it on your /sdcard as PARAM.bak.
MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS MOUNTED WHEN YOU GET INTO TWRP or CWM.
(Have NOT tested in CWM as I have TWRP installed).
Many thanks to [email protected] for the original script for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0.
He has kindly allowed me to modify his script for the Tab A (SM-T285).
His xda page is: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Boot Logo
To change the logo (.jpg file), replace the logo.jpg in the tmp folder with your own .jpg file.
Remember the Galaxy TAB A (SM-T285) display is 720x1280.
Steps to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- Select Install from recovery menu
- Select TAB-A-T285-LogoChanger.zip
- Follow recovery install prompts
- Reboot and enjoy!

device soft bricked but can enter download mode (Vol Up + PWR + Home). I did a:

before flashing the custom param. I restored the device using heimdall (GNU/Linux PC)
$ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param.lfs

Should have no problems with the .zip file. I used on my T285.
It will make a backup of the PARAM block and store it on you internal sdcard before changing the bootlogo.
All that had to be done was replace the logo.jpg file in the zip file (drag and drop). Install it in TWRP.
Obviously, if the logo.jpg file you put into the .zip file is very large, you may end up overwriting something.

the logo.jpg I used is about 600KB in size it may be the problem. What must be the right size so I do not overwrite anything?
I have dumped the partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 to a param.lfs
then the param.lfs appears to be a POSIX TAR Archive (GNU) can we just repack the file and modify only the logo.jpg? (the recovery script will repack the tar archive)
after modifying can we just write it with dd?
# dd if=./paramodified.tar of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

The original logo.jpg is under 100kb, so a 600kb file would be too big.
I would keep the file under 150kb just to be safe.
Yes, you can use dd to write the modified param file...that is what the logo changer script does.

The script works now, I've reduced the jpeg to 50KB but it is blurry. Thank You
I have uploaded my param.lfs (it is compressed with 7z to reduce size from 2MB to 420KB, 26193062 is a CRC32 hash checksum of the file to verify that it is not corrupt) from mmcblk0p16 that can be flashed with heimdall ($ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param_26193062.lfs) if someone else messes up.
1. download param_26193062.lfs
2. decompress with 7z (7z x param_26193062.lfs.7z)
3. flash with device ($ sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param_26193062.lfs)

I no longer have a T285. All my T285 files are deleted.
But, my guess is you made the .jpg logo too big.

Now I am using Windows 7 Heimdall to flash this. Except with this I am unable to flash because it's showing "Error: Failed to retrieve config descriptor."
Need help ASAP
Update: After a few tries, now it says
"Initializing Protocol...
Error: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface...
Solution: Used Odin. Basically, using 7zip, packed the param.lfs to a tar file, then packing that to a gzip file, then prooding to flash via ODIN
Any one have stock param.tar file for flashing on sm-t285?? Plz help me? ? ?

You need yo rename your image to: logo.jpg
Then use 7zip or winrar to open bootlogochanger. replace the logo.jpg in the zip file with your logo.jpg
I'm trying to make a flashable zip for TWRP to install a Lenovo Z6 Pro stock ROM. I create the .zip file with Boot, System and Vendor (I'd add the rest of the firmware later). Boot and Vendor are installed but system.img is not installed. I know that I could use .dat files but I'm specially interested on using the image files.
I took as template another ROM which uses .IMG files too with the function 'package_extract_file'. I just replaced the .IMG files making sure that the names are exactly the same, and also I'm sure that my system.img is raw. When I try to install the flashable zip from recovery it prompts the uiprint "Patching system unconditionally" but nothing is installed and skips directly to patch the vendor partitions which is successfully patched.
Any help or clue will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
