[HELP] can somebody extract this boot.img please

hi,
i have a big problem.
i have extracted with perl script the boot.img from updata.app
this works fine... but when i want to extract the boot.img, then i have many errors and the .gz files are not readable.
i have tried it under windows and ubuntu, but still the same :-(
can somebody extract the file ?
here is the .img file
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XX69Z7BM
many thanks

That img file is corrupt, or does not have a ramdisk image within it (only a kernel). Or it is using some non-standard means to store the ramdisk.
What is it from and how did you extract it?

thanks for your replay
the file is from a v845 (huawei 8120).
Firmware: V845 V100R001MYSC02B 236(Malaysia)
from here: huawei

i used the script split_updata.pl, split_bootimg.pl and unyaffs.exe

the boot.img doesn't use yaffs2, it is a raw kernel image combined with a cpio archive of the ramdisk image (and a short header to tell where the files are delimited). Your file has a corrupt header. I was able to extract it for you. Do you want me to attach it for you? I assume you extracted the kernel OK (it worked for me).

I normally use the tools found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711
but like I said, your image was corrupt or something. I just hex grepped it for a gzip signature indicating the start of the gzipped cpio ramdisk portion.

If your PC using linux system,I recommend you to use Virtual Box.
If U using windows system,you must configuration Java environment first,and then install a software who name is Cygwin,You can use it to extract the system.img and boot.img.

How to convert kdz rom to zip rom

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to convert kdz rom to zip ROM?
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium

Firstly u need to extract KDZ file with LGExtract. It will extract cab file and dz file within. Then u needs to extract boot.img and system.img with DZDecrypt, but to get boot.img u need to use 0.5 version. For system.img use 1.0 version. If u have that 2 files, download dsixda kitchen and follow what screen says

Sry, you meant you can't extract cabinet file? Remove cab file integration in 7zip and it will open in windows explorer.

Yes. I have done so, but I still do not unzip the file. cab. I have tried the following in cmd:
D: \ LG \ lgextract-KDZ F180K20K_00.kdz
after it is completed, I get the file F180K20K_00.cab
Next, I used the command:
D: \ LG \ 7z x (or e) F180K20K_00.cab
and I get the error message: Error: Can not open file as archive
After all, I've tried many versions and 7z LGExtract but they all failed. So what is the reason? Does windows version?
p / s: sorry for my english is very bad.

I've read that thread before. But I can not unzip the file. Cab with 7zip or winrar.
In case 2, used to extract UpTestEX.exe. KDZ ->. dz, I can not unzip it. 2 dz by DZextract and DZDecrypt tool.
The reason is that the OS version or ROM version?

Sorry, I just recently see that you're trying to extract F180 (Optimus G)'s firmware. These methods are only for first generation of L series (L3, L5, L7). It certainly won't work on newer phones. (Yes, although the format is still kdz, the extracting method will differ between devices).

No. You don't use anyone ROM in computer. You only can mod, cook it. Demo just on the phone. The dev-app can use Android Studio/eclipse.

Unfortunately this doesn't work. When you drop the system.img.ext4 file onto the sgs2ext4 tool, no file is produced. The tool just keeps endlessly repeating:
"system.img.ext4 32 B 0 B/s"
I think that tool is too old (2.5 years old) and doesn't support the newest Samsung firmwares.

I found that the Linux method works on my Mac. Took a ton of tinkering and restarting the emulator on my machine.
sgs2ext4.jar did not work for me in Windows. It just hangs.

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Can you be little more specific? Do you want to 1) extract the kernel (that is an "zImage") image or 2) simply the "boot.img"?
The second task is simple as you can simply copy the "boot.img" from the ROM zip. You can flash "boot.img" directly via twrp (no need to make flashable zip).
The first task, however, is bit complicated as it requires the use of some tools like mkbootimg or Android Image Kitchen to split the "boot.img". You can flash the obtained "zImage" by simply copying that into an existing anykernel based klte custom kernel. :laugh:
Feel free to contact me for any further clarification/help.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I needed flashable zip kernel file extracted from SkiesRom.
I wanted patch this by DualBoot

Hi, if you have a Linux, you can easily extract the zImage from the "boot.img" using mkbootimg (see previous comment for links). If you want me to do that job, feel free to send the "boot.img" of that mentioned ROM (I'll make a flashable anykernel zip file for you so that you can flash over any ROM).
Regarding the DualBoot, I really do not know...
