Help: How to convert .tar.md5 file to .img file

I have the stock boot image file of SM-G955FD Oreo (8.0.0) Indian firmware
in .tar.md5 format I need it to be converted to .img as .tar.md5 format is not supported by MagiskManager for patching.
Here is the stock boot image of SM-G955FD Oreo (8.0.0) Indian firmware :

Please any body provide me this boot image file in .img format or tell me an easy way to do so.
Thanks a lot in anticipation!

You don't convert .tar.md5 files into .img. .tar.md5 is just a regular tar archive (ustar format) with md5 checksum appended to it. You can unpack it as any other tar archive, it contains the device images you are probably asking for.
Oreo images are lz4-compressed, so you also need to decompress them, after that you will be left with usable .img files for different partitions.
Edit: Here's G955FXXU1CRB7 boot.img

Can you give me link to Galaxy S3 SGH T999N boot.img please

Need boot.img FRD-L09 B404

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.

How to Extract Current Bootloader and Radio .img files?

I'm working on creating an unbrick script so I have downloaded the latest update from OnePlus and used an payload.bin extractor to extract its contents.
However, the images that I got did not include the bootloader or the radio.
So I was curious if there was a way for me to extract the current bootloader and radio image files stored on my OnePlus 6.
Or maybe there is another way I can go about extracting those two images from the downloaded file I grabbed on the OnePlus 6 download page?

Flash OS with system_a.img file only?

Hello,
I have been looking for an answer to this for a while and can't find something.
Current state: Huawei Honor 6X with LineageOS 14.1 (Thanks to the user HassenMirza01 Forum Thread here) and Elite TWRP (Forum Thread here)
Aim: LineageOS 15.1
Problem:
1: There is a Forum Thread on cyanogemods.org talking about a development build. The given download link there is androidfilehost.com.
The problem is that I can't use that file for flashing the OS because there is just a system image called "system_a.img" in the zip-file, nothing else. As far as I know there has to be some more files and folders to be able to flash the OS. When I try to flash the zip with TWRP it says "Invalid zip file format".
2: I tried a different file given on getdroidtips.com, but the given download link ends up here sourceforge.net with an empty project.
My question: Is there a way I am not aware of to flash a single image file?

Question I need to go back to stock kernel

Anyone have vendor_boot, dtbo and boot.img from 11.2.9.9 le25aa ?. Install a custom kernel and I need to go back to stock

Just use oxygen updtaer to download full zip and do a local install. Flash magisk to alternate partition and reboot.

Install the Arter kernel. And now I get an error when I want to update that way. So I need to go back to stock rom.
Do you know any way to do that?

Shouldn't be flashing a kernel without proper backups first. You need stock untouched boot.img and vendor_boot

You can download the zip file containing th full update of your version in a thread here, them using the payload dumper tool you extract all img files inside

I don't know how to edit so more details about this process:
1. Go to sticked thread Repo of oos builds
2. Download the zip file of the firmware you are using
3. Download the payload dumper here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
4. Once extracted extract the payload.bin from firmware zip into payload_input directory
5. Launch payload_dumper.exe
6. Process take few minutes depending on your computer, result img files are stored in payload_output directory
7. Have fun with your img file
