You don't have to flash the zimage file. Instead flash the .tar file which you get after you extract the downloaded .zip file. When extracting, don't select extract here instead select extract to folder -- the latter would get you .tar file while the former gets you not-for-flashing zimage file.
Hi
I'm trying to make a rom based on last lollipop firmware.My problem is that I'm not able to extract system.img to ext4 format under windows .I used several software with no luck.
Could someone tell me how extract system.img from note4 lollipop firmware?

I have used 7zip. Just delete md5 extension first. It will be tar. Extract that
How can i make flashable kernel zip file from twrp backup file or boot.img file???
You can flash the .img file by switching twrp to img flash mode.
Very simple way:
Take other custom kernel zip file, replace it with your boot.img and flash. That's it.

Hi Guys,
I have compiled a kernel for note 4 from opensource samsung.
I have got zimage in two locations , one in output which is less than 10mb and one in main kernel boot folder which is 20 mb.
When i try to flash using odin i , get the error , unsupported dev type.
I have firmware N910GDTS1DRH2 N910GODD1DRD1 downloaded from sammobile.
Also after compiling i have got some modules which i didnot touch.
I downloaded source from http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=n910g
I have tried 3 mm versions, but all give same error.
Any help will be appreciated.
I also tried making boot.img with perl script but phone doesnot boot up using that.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit
I use AIK to unpack the stock boot image. Take the zImage from output/arch/arm/boot/ and replace the original one in the new split_img folder that AIK creates. Be sure to rename it what AIK names it (boot.img-zImage if I remember right). Then repack it flash the new image via TWRP. The new-image should be close to 15.8 mb.

Is TWRP neccessary

Thanks for your reply, i was wondering if i can flash using odin or i have to use twrp? zimages are convertible to tar files that odin can flash but the problem i am facing is odin mode showing unsupported dev type.

Yeah, you could make it in to .tar if you'd like but it needs to be in a boot.img form. The only way I know how to directly flash a zImage is with anykernel or a tool similar to that.
Kernel flash was success but phone is not stable now !

Ok i was able to flash boot.img by converting into tar (having new zimage) , but system is rebooting again and again after sometime.
I was able to flash after making boot.img using AIK. Thanks for advice.
