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.

You probably have the name like E15i_2.1.plplplplppl.zip.ftf, you should enable the "Show extension" in Windows Explorer to be able to rename the extension. (You can find it at any random explorer screen, by going to "Extra">"Folder settings" and unselect the checkbox for "Hide known file extensions" <Not sure if it's named like this, i'm on a Dutch version of Windows>)

Rename it back to *.ftf and done.

Just download it again
Simples. If you can't download it againg just rename. Zip back to .fitful by showing extensions and renaming it

Anyway, the one in dev host is for fastboot, while in android file and ubunto one is zip flashable thru recovery..
Check MD5 if you download file correctly

[Q] How do I add my own img file to a separate partition ?

I am a beginner, and I have compiled a game built with C. The instructions I have say that I have to flash the final .img file to a separate partition on my SM-N900P. Now I have successfully downloaded the stockfirmware, unpacked it with mkbootimg, built my own dtb.img and flashed the phone. (Side note: I got an error about Samsung Keyboard, which if you know how I can address I would be grateful). I do not know how / where to put the .img file I compiled though. Do I pack it when I tar my files?
