Is it specific for each device? Or does it depend only on finding the correct partition/block to be extracted?
Could you point me to further readings about that?
Thanks.
It is at least device specific, for extracting the bootimage, check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951426

What if everything is an illusion, and nothing exists?
In that case, I definitely overpaid my carpet....!

Well, that link is to proceed AFTER you have boot.img at hand. I want to find a way to extract it from my phone (assuming default.prop can be changed in there).
Thanks.
When you make a back up with CWM, you have a copy of your bootimage in the clockworkmod map, not?
That's the thing ... I am trying to figure out how to get that backup in hand at first.
Currently, following the method in http://droidcore.blogspot.com.br/2012/12/how-to-edit-initrc-in-android.html
It seems to use the same scripts as cited in your link.
Will post results afterwards.
Don't make things more complicated as they are. If you just install CMW recovery (or TWRP for that matter) for your device, you have your full backup in minutes, including one of your bootimage, then use the script from my first post.
I managed to find boot.img, made the necessary changes, sent it back to device (used MPK Rom Studio and SP Flash Tool).
The problem is, the reason I want to change boot.img is to root my device. I thought that disabling ro.secure, I would be able to do so. But I couldn't.
I believe cmw recovery, or twrp, both need my phone to be rooted, no?

I used a CWM image to root my device. Booted up with that image, and flashed SU....after that you can use su, and apparantly, with the changes you made with your bootimage...you'll be like God on your phone

I have the same problem, I need the boot image of my device to root it using magisk manager, but I can't find it.
Help!!!!!
Hey simply extract the boot.img from the stock firmware if your device is not rooted......
I think this only possible when you have root..
It is also not possible with adb without root...so
If your device is rooted with magisk then untouched boot.img is placed in /data folder as stock.xxxx.gz format and simply extract it....
If your device is rooted with one click root apps then download kernel auditor app and select backup option and the boot.img will be available in android/data/ kernel auditor specific folder....
Hope this help
Edit:- If your device is Mediatek, using SP Flash Tool you can readback. If you have Snapdragon, then bkerler's edl tool can readback. (No need of root)

Do you mean the stock firmware on the device, where is this located? or do you mean from the vendors web page?

just google "Latest Software Version for OPPO OPPO AX7" and go to the Software Updates page on oppo-uk.custhelp.com. Download 2.4GB ozip file (like CPH1903EX_11_OTA_0210_all_oStq7F7jxqfF.ozip) and unpackit with 7zip program. You'll find boot.img inside .ozip file.
I do not have root, there is no recovery or rom for my phone, Can I extract the boot.img from my phone storage, to patch it with Magisk?
Hello everyone.
I recently unlock bootloader and root my phone. I used flashtool with boot.img and recovery.img.
I want official latest software again. How can I find it?
Code:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/open-source-archive-for-26-3-a-0-140-26-3-b-0-140/
As you can see, I found this page but I downloaded .tar file; not .img file. Besides, it is only one file; how can I find two files like boot.img and recovery.img?
I am new at these things and I could not solve it. Can you help me?
Thanks for advance.
You need to use flashtool. Download latest stock rom (official ie os6.) approx. 1.8gb file. Then connect your device to flashtool. Open a tutorial video from youtube to flash your device to latest stock rom. You need to take a nano backup of system and data. And then enter twrp and wipe cache, system and datav. And then flash

since it is not possible to install the ROM version "update.APP", unzipping this with "HuaweiUpdateExtractor", which files should I flash with fastboot in bootloader mode?
Is this possible?
Yes, use the HuaweiUpdateExtractor and flash the system.img with fastboot.
Best regards

which files should I flash?
you need to download the full rom, go here: https://www.mobileheadlines.net/download-huawei-y6-2018-firmware-files-all-versions/
download the FullOTA-MF for your model and extract the zip, after that use huaweiupdateextractor on the update.app and extract SYSTEM.img
reboot into bootloader and flash the extracted SYSTEM.img to your phone using fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
please make a tutorial thread. i want to use the original rom too.

You can use the boot.img file in the Stock Rom which contains the kernel itself.
And then flash it via fastboot - done.
You can also make a zip file containing that boot.img and flash via twrp if you don't want to use the fastboot method.
