[Q] Sony XA1 - How do I get the stock boot.img out of the ftf - Android Builders Collective

After a nice browse of the forums for the particular Device, there's hardly any working custom kernel or rom or even a TWRP for this device so as a developer, I thought I'd take over but I'm having a hard time getting the stock boot.img out of the ftf,
Things I've tried :
1. Flashtool > Sin Extractor > kernel.sin > rename to boot.img and tried to install that via fastboot (Image overlap error)
2. AIK > unpack kernel.sin > repack as boot.img > fastboot boot boot.img > ended up with a boot loop with the SONY logo just going on and on and on
Things I want help with:
1. Help with Getting the boot.img
2. Since there's no stock recovery, i can't get TWRP Builder working for this , so would be nice if someone has a work through for this
Any help is appreciated.

Samsung i9020 hangs on google logo pls help flashed with odin but still same
Sounds like you have a bad bootloader.
Try this:
download a stock OTA package for your model
1) Extract bootloader.img, boot.img and recovery.img from the OTA zip, and place it in your fastboot folder
2) Run fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3) Run fastboot flash boot boot.img
Info provided by thegtfusion from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447040
If that does not work you would need the *.PIT and reflash from ODIN, same thing I'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308695

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a couple of ways to do this. As you said your running CROMi-X DEODEX, 4.2 bootloader (twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 or 2.5.0.0-4.2) - so example below to flash latest stock asus JB 4.2 firmware for tf300t model - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip.
Method 1: - Using TWRP
Download the asus firmware zip - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip
Unzip this to a folder and inside you will find another zip called WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip - Copy this zip file to your microSD.
Insert microSD in tab and reboot to twrp recovery, flash the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip , reboot, Done :good: You will now be on stock asus firmware, stock recovery & stock kernel.
Method 2 - Using fastboot - Assuming here android-sdk is installed and fastboot & adb working.
Download the asus firmware zip - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip
Unzip this to a folder and inside you will find another zip called WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip
Here I put a copy of the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip on my micro SD card
On PC unzip WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip and you will find a "blob" file- this is the system blob file for that firmware which is the system, stock recovery, kernel & bootloader all rolled into a one blob file.
Copy this blob file to your android-sdk/platform-tools folder
The version of TWRP you need for the JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" - flashing a non-4.2 version of TWRP or any version of CWM will brick device. Not sure if 2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2 works on 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader.
So download "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" and also put this in android-sdk/platform-tools folder - you can rename it to something shorter if you want, say twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob
Now connect tab to pc and boot to fastboot and check that pc can see your device ok
Code:
fastboot devices
should see device s/n here, if ok we can flash the system blob we put in the platform-tools folder
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob
This will take 10ish minutes, it will send file then write file and you should a blue progress bar on tab when it starts to write.
When complete
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should now check & confirm that your bootloader has upgraded, look at the text in the top left of the bootloader screen and make sure it now has 10.6.1.15.3 in the text.
Here you should really be able to just reboot the tab and be fine but I would get stuck at boot animation so next part is a second flash of the same firmware but via TWRP recovery instead of fastboot, so method 1 - but you now have stock recovery so we need to flash TWRP first.
So in fastboot flash the "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" I shortened to "twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob"
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob
again here you should see a blue progress bar on your tab
When done reboot to bootloader again
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This time select the RSK icon and boot TWRP recovery. In recovery I do a full wipe then follow method 1 and flash the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip from microSD, reboot & done :good: - You will now be on stock asus firmware, stock recovery & stock kernel.
If you need any more help just ask or have a look at my how-to in sig below for more info.
Thanks for that looong post . I did that but I forgot to do a wipe after installing... I was very upset. But I did wipe and now my tablet fully workin'. THANKS!!!

How to install OTA updates in rooted device (K8 Plus)

How to update your phone even after unlocking your phone without losing data in Lenovo K8 Plus?
There is a pretty simple trick for those who wanted to update to latest firmware & already unlocked their device.
First unroot & if you flashed xposed then xposed uninstaller too then use fastboot to flash stock recovery, boot & system & then do the OTA update & Voila your data will not loose and you just get update.
To do it download stock firmware click below
HTML:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1YexKxunNYF_RemzFmvHpoSgp8eELebqY&export=download
Password:-
[email protected] Developers
Extract this firmware.
Then you'll find several files there just copy system.img, boot.img, recovery.img to adb folder and then put your phone in fastboot mode and then type:-
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After this power it up download the update and install it.
Note:- This trick is only tried on manning as of now. But I'm pretty sure that it'll work on marino too.
