Hi all
I would like to extract the recovery from a zimage, and try to create a recovery.img
is that possible ?
what is the way to proceed ?
do i need Android SDK ?
thanks for your help.
Hi, I have this idea and can't seem to find how (if possible) to do it:
I got the stock firmware for my device and I'd like to mod the AP tar.md5 file so that I can either remove the stock recovery.img from it, or switch it with the TWRP img file? If I simply extract the files and repack them in a new tar file would it be flasheable in odin?
Hello everyone.
I unlocked a bootloader in my freshly bought Honor 8 last week and I the first thing I did was to flash a root package (obviously). I'm used to SuperSU, so tha's what I flashed. Then I found out about Magisk. I want to try it, but I need to flash stock boot.img in order to install it. My build number is FRD-L09C432B404 (EMUI 5.0, Android 7.0). Could anyone upload corresponding boot img? I'd be thankful.
Do it yourself! ^^

Hello!
You can do it yourself, just follow these steps:
1) Download your firmware (update.zip) from hicloud url: update.zip
2) Extract zip
3) Download "Huawei Update Extractor 0.9.9.5" (zip file): HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5.zip
4) Extract zip
5) Open "HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe" extracted from previous step
6) Click on the 2 dots button and navigate to the file to add the "UPDATE.APP" file ( extracted from step 2) ), it will show you all the files like boot.img , recovery.img , recovery2.img , system.img , etc.
7) Select "BOOT.img" and right-click > "Extract Selected". Choose this destination folder: Where fastboot/adb are installed.
8) Use fastboot command to flash "BOOT.img":
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Hope it helps you!
I'd rather not download 1.3GB of firmware for the sake of one small boot.img which can't be bigger than 50MBs, not to mention additional software I'll use probably never again, so I'd be thankful if someone sent already extracted boot

BOOT.img file from FRD-L09C432B404 firmware: Google Drive or MEGA
( Because I have nothing more important to do tonight lol )
Thanks for your support. I had to extract it anyways for stock recovery, so here it is in case someone needed it.

So yeah...
I've downloaded a full dump files for my firmware on my tablet.
After i've downloaded the files, i'd extracted it and .IMGs files
were extracted. These were: backup.img, boot.img, cache.img
kernel.img, kapanic.img, metadata.img, misc.img, recovery.img,
system.img, userdata.img and loader bins. How could i flash these
files for my tablet to work again since a firmware needed to
flash on it. Please tell me how or which should i do or which
tool should i use. I need it asap :crying:
Hi everybody!
Please tell me if I flash a rom with img extension, do I have to extract it or flash it directly in recovery mode?
Thanks for reading this <3
Android's recovery typically requires the files to be flashed packed as ZIP. You flash files packed as IMG via Fastboot tool.
