[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin
[Extremely Noob GUIDE]Since there is no explained and easy Guide to Extract Kernel [zimage] and Ramdisk [Ramdisk] from Boot.img, Then Convert it to zimage.tar and Flash it using Odin
Well here it is step by step:
Note: This Method is used to Extract Kernels form Stock Rom's Boot.img
First you need to install Python, which is round about 17MBs software freely available on python website.
Step 1:Download the attached Python script named "split_boot_img" from attachments down Below, Extract it and copy to the folder created in Step 2.
Step 2:Create a folder with any name you like. I recommend "boot.img extraction".
Step 3: Copy the boot.img, you want to extract, to the folder you created in Step 2.
Step 4: Run the script named "split_boot_img"by double-clicking and see the magic.
Congratulations!!! Here you go. the "zimage" and "ramdisk" files are extracted.
Now the Conversion Part:
Step 1: Download this IZARC software and install it from Here:http://www.izarc.org/download.html
Step 2: Open the folder created in First-Step 2.
Step 3: Right Click the ziamge File Extracted from boot.img. as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 4: Select add to archive file from IzArc right click options as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 5: Now scroll the Archiving type to ".tar" as in Image 2 in attachments.
Step 6: Click the Add button as in Image 3 in attachments.
Last Step: Now flash the "zimage" file created in Step 6 Using Odin.

Maybe he should have put in that you need to use Python 2.7.9 not 3.x ... Had the same problem.
All steps worked after, but didn't flash it yet, I'll do it today or tomorrow.
Also you should mention IZArc is full of crapware, it open one install and even if I chose to not install stuff, it installed iStart and Search Enginer extensions to my browsers. After, surprise, another install showed up to actually install IZArc ... not I need to de-crap my system

Did the kernel.img actually work for you? I tried this same process as well. It took me 4 hours to clean all the maleware from my laptop. I mad the .Tar file and tried to flash it. it failed completely. I think this OP needs to be removed. More than likely the OP is getting paid for all the downloads he is tricking people into.

No, it failed also. Yes, it should be removed.
Ended up using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 but for a strage reason Odin would not like it when I moved the .tar archive from a folder to an other from that method (I keep my pc organized), had to create the tar, flash it from that folder, then... deleted it because after I couldn't use it anymore.

Flashing any modified boot / kernel / recovery trips Knox, doesn't matter what method you use. Sometimes even stock trips Knox as some users said.
What i did was take a stock rom from SamMobile that was 'hackable' through TowelRoot, extracted the kernel with WinRar, made the kernel flashable in Odin using that tool, flashed it via Odin, rooted device with TR, then used same steps to download,extract,make kernel bootable to restore my original kernel. Knox stayed 0x0 on i9195.
You can try reading about Heimdall. Supose you can flash without Odin and without converting. It would make your life easier, but for me it didn't work (didn't start on Win 64bit, i think i needed another MS visual c++ , a dependency of Heimdall).
ps.: the tool to create flashable archives would't work for me just by double-clicking, so I had to open an command prompt - CMD with admin rights, go to the directory where i had the tool and type ImgToTar.MD5.bat . Just put everything in C:\tool including recovery.img / boot.img or kernel.img then go start-> type in search box CMD -> right-click on the result and Run as admin -> in the black box type the next text followed by Enter key:
cd /
cd tool
ImgToTar.MD5.bat

I hope it works, i need it for the same reason of you, flashing an older kernel to root with towelroot keeping knox 0x0 at the end of this process

Did you try towelroot?

Towelroot is only for Qualcomm devices, the P901 is an Exynos device.
Read this: http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-pro-12-2-sm-p901
And the original autoroot file is in this list: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin

Yeah I think the only option is cf autoroot and tripping knox
Sent from my Fired-up Kitty

Ok, now that he's fixed his comment so it makes a tiny bit of sense. I had this problem with the p900 as well. This was how I fixed the hang on cache issue very quickly.
Get 7zip.
1. Open the zip file you got for cf-autoroot with 7zip. Extract the CF-Auto-Root-v1a3g-v1a3gxx-smp901.tar.md5 file.
2. Remove .md5 extension and rename the file CF-Auto-Root-v1a3g-v1a3gxx-smp901.tar
3. Open this file with 7zip, extract recovery.img from it. Set this aside, you'll need it in a few more steps.
3. Download Caboomi's Recovery img2tar odin maker tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
4. Unzip the tool into a folder. Delete the recovery.tar.md5 it comes with. You will also see a Runme.bat file.
5. Edit the bat file with something like Notepad ++. The second line will be
Code:
bin\tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar
Change this to
Code:
bin\tar -cf recovery.tar recovery.img
Save the file.
6.Remember the recovery.img file you took from the CF-Auto-Root-v1a3g-v1a3gxx-smp901.tar in step #3? Throw that file into the same folder where the Runme.bat file is located.
7. Run the .bat file. It will produce a new recovery.tar.md5
8. Flash this new recovery file in Odin. HAVE AUTOREBOOT TURNED OFF.
9. Flash the original CF-Auto-Root-v1a3g-v1a3gxx-smp901.tar.md5 file after that.
10. Hopefully success?

Got everything but the result is still the same problem

Here I made one for you, try this one in Odin click me I didn't zip it since it's just the tar.md5 file not all the extra odin stuff. Don't modify this file's extensions, put it straight into odin.
After downloading, you should check the md5 matches: 44d09a57009cfdbb322f0c9ca13bd4fe
Let me know if it works. Otherwise we have to look for another problem cause/solution.

Dear alhgan,

I have the same problem then you had.
Thanks!

Finally rooted my P901
After hundred times stucked at cache.img I found the reason and got my p901 finally rooted!
Two things which I made wrong, so remember the following two points:
1. You have to switch on USB debugging in “development options” under Settings on your P901!
2. You have to start Odin as Admin!
Go on with the normal flashing procedure:
Start P901 in flashing mode
Start Odin as Admin (use only the Odin version which comes in the package from CF!)
Load tar.md5 File in AP
Connect the P901 to PC
Start
That´s all!

please rebuild the file to root

I will not be responsible for any damage to your device or your belongings in your home.
If you blame me for anything that goes wrong I'll die laughing at you/*
Hello all!
Today I present you F2I converter. This tool can convert system folder back to ext4 image format suitable for flashtools without cygwin.
Basically, this tool was made in keeping mind the format used by lollipop structure where dat files were converted to ext4 format and then unpacked, repacking them was kind of hard (or lazy to do so in my case) as it required linux or Cygwin [Based on Xpirt's Guide. Now I've always preferred a way to avoid linux and cygwin
I managed to put together a set of tools that can easily convert the extracted system folder back to img for flashing and in lollipop can be converted back to dat format on windows.
So this is what this tool is capable of! If you on lollipop and want @xpirt guide to do so then here it is - [HOW TO] Lollipop DAT files | Compression and Decompression
FEATURES
• Supports all Android Versions
• Works without Linux or cygwin
• Generates Log that help to troubleshoot the issues
• No extra software required (Except Git for Windows)
• Supports both way conversion
• Suggest more features
• Much more to come!
HOW TO USE
You need GIT for windows to run this tool. Kindly download and install GIT from HERE
Now install GIT and when you're done download F2I converter and extract it in core C: directory. There will be a folder names as "IMG_WIN" kindly make sure it is extracted in C:
Recommended GIT is v 1.9.4 or newer.
Mostly everything is self-explanatory in the tool but when you will convert "SYSTEM" folder back to "EXT4 img" format you will be asked to enter size in bytes.
Here is what you are asked to do..
1) Open the system.img inside the respective folder you're working on and then right click on it and click Properties
2) In General tab you'll see something like this
Now copy the highlighted part and paste in the box shown below in image
Now you can continue. Ahead

BUGS
This tool is in BETA phase so you are likely to face some bugs. Though I have paid a lot of attention while creating this tool but you may encounter some small code errors (like path not found etc) I request you to kindly see for yourself and correct it.
You are likely to face this error mostly though
Code:
error in bla bla bla ..... failed to allocate block [NUMBERS] out of space?
If you encounter something like this then it will not work with your files. This will occur mostly in Android 2.3.x-4.4.x and in some cases with 5.0 and 5.1
I am trying to fix this issue. Please co-operate
Rest no major bug.

i've tried this. see the screenshot. i find only 2 files to copy back to my rom zip.
what about "file_contexts"? can/should the original be retained?
large size difference between original "system.transfer.list" and modified one ok?

Doesn't work for me. I'm unable to find system.img. So I downloaded "sda2img.exe" and I made system.img with it. Then, when I try to recompress system folder in DAT format, there is this problem ( see the screenshot ).
Then I noted that after using it, in "Working_Do_Not_Touch", system.transfer.list and system.new.dat get losts.

Thanks for trying out the tool. You must use same file_contexts
As per your issue sir thing is the output is cleaned up and no file is left back. I request you to try the size from xpirts post on this. Kindly check that and reply back.

[system_new.img?]
Any ideas on how to fix this:
When I try repacking [system folder] back to [system.new.dat] the program throws an error : File not found -- system_new.img

Hi all
I hereby present to you a cool addition for our beloved Note3 (SM-N9005 model).
Photos
Thanks to my junior @Kill-Switch
Please read the steps properly before you start flashing.
Don't hold me responsible for any damages you might end up doing to your device if you choose to flash either of the 4 files that I'm providing to you! :cyclops:
1. Go to Download mode.
2. Flash the BL file using Odin (remove Auto-Reboot tick).
3. After its been flashed completely, remove the data cable & pull out the battery.
4. Go to the Download Mode again.
5. This time, flash the CP file using Odin (don't remove Auto-Reboot tick).
These are links to 2 sets:
GPS works fine for me in the newer set, it might work for you with the older set.
1. Old
&
2. New
Tbh, the way I did it was, I flashed the Old set initially (photographs from that time) then I flashed the Newer set (hoping GPS would be better) & I still have the "Powered by Android" text in my phone.

If I'm not wrong, this is the boot splash that you've modified. If so, then let me make one small request . Can you please make another one That says Note 7 instead of Note 3
Edit: I know this basic fact that boot splash (param.bin) has nothing to do with CP (modem) so I only flashed the new BL file with auto reboot ticked in Odin and it was success for me without the need to change my modem or follow the steps in OP. I've got the new boot splash now. Good job mate, hop you will make one that I've requested :good:

searching years for that.tried also by my self to made it but no matter how i search never find some good guide to make it done.
so...i also want it

@TheTAMAS man, you are awesome. Haven't tried it yet, but the fact that you've shared for all to experience is awesome.

What I dont get is how this would effect your GPS?

Yeah but I thought you just edited the image from the bootloader. Is this a custom bootloader then? Not a lot of info on the OP but I'm still a bit of noob with boot loaders and modems

agree mate..hope he help

Just an opinion, but for those who like the hassles, can just grab the latest stock Note 3 firmware on sammobile and flash it using Odin. I did that and saw the Powered by Android text when I rebooted my phone. Its a good thing to update your bootloader and baseband as well, but if you like the simple way then go ahead with this one.
P.S Nice guide by the way

This didn't work for me though. I tried installing both new and old, untick auto-reboot, retick auto-reboot, all the tricks in the book, restarted the phone, after each method, no Powered by Android

Lg g7 thinq (lg710pm) to (g710ulm10g)

Few weeks ago i got a LG G7 “UNLOCKED” on ebay, the phone had a sticker where it said model “LGG710PM”, the bad news i was stuck with a FIRMWARE LM-G710ULM (V10b-LAO-COM) MAY 2018. I tried updating the phone via OTA or LGBridge and i had no luck. So i looked online for the correct KDZ file for the LGG710PM and also no luck, So what i did is look for a G710ULM KDZ, but the only one the i could find was the G710ULM10G_00 (https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g7-thinq-project-fi-stock-firmware-g710ulm10g.html) . So after searching online and watching some videos on youtube if this could work, i found a youtuber video (MAXLEE) he change a FIRMWARE of sprint to a Canadian FIRMWARE and it work he did it on a LG G6. So what i did is try it on MY G7 model LGG710PM“ the only thing is that on the G7 there's a few more steps to do:
1) Download G710ULM10G_00 KDZ file
https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g7-thinq-project-fi-stock-firmware-g710ulm10g.html
2) Download LGUP and install (make sure to use this link for download and follow instructions, like this you don't get an error when
you insert the KDZ file and hit START).

A) Make sure you don't have LGBrige installed, if so UNINSTALL and delete any folder of LGBridge after you have uninstalled
(C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics)
B) Download the LGUP zip file and unzip, if you don't have the drivers install lgdrives(The file is inside the folder LGUP-LG G7 ThinQ).
After that install “LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 (1).msi “ file.

}
C) After installing LGUP you must go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP and copy the first three files(CODEFIRE, LOG,
model) from the UNZIPED FILE from step B.
D) Go to file “model” (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model) then go to file “common”....go to step “E” don't close the
window….
E) Go to the UNZIP FOLDER, go to file WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1-Release. Run “WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe” and select
the KDZ file you downloaded, then make sure you
check on “LGUPc.dll. EXTRACT KDZ.
F) A file “LGUPc.dll” will be created, Copy that file into the folder “common”...... you should had left that window open from step “D”. Rename the actual “LGUP_Common.dll” to
“LGUP_CommonDDD.dll” and “LGUPc.dll” to “LGUP_Common.dll” and then deltate the “LGUP_CommonDDD.dll”.
Open LGUP...put your phone in download mode... select the KDZ file you downloaded from step “1” and in PROCESS select REFURBISH…. Then click START.

Thanks for posting the guide but I don't see any links to download the files on step 2

SN under Hardware is BLANK that has always been that way.... cant fix that.

I just checked with LGBridge. It still says "Cannot check software version. Please try again". I don't think we will be able to do OTA update in the future.

Yeah. I'm glad that we aren't stuck on May patch anymore. I don't remember but I don't think I had wifi calling before I flash this. Now I got wifi calling, so great. Thanks for the great guide.

Great! So is safe to flash then . Besides S/N still blank, any other side effect after flash? I assume storage 64gb still same, imie # still same, phone still unlocked, lte signal better? Good to see wifi calling is enabled.

Yes I guess it's safe it worked for me and also for member hytl. Everything is working fine, the phone is still unlocked, and everything else is the same nothing changes. You get battery improvement and camera. LTE signal it's the same for me.

Thanks Im gonna try later.. Do I need to do factory rest before flash and after?
