im working on building a cm7 kernel for the vibrant, but im having some trouble
i have th compiled zImage but new a ramdisk and recovery img to compile with the zImage into a boot.img
i know im supposed to sync the cm repo, but kernel.org is down and the with the roundabout way im literally getting 5kib/s max and even after leaving my computer on for like a day im not close to finishing the download
so my question is, can anyone instruct me on how to extract the recovery and ramdisk from the boot.img and then how to repack it or can someone upload it and tell me how to repack it?
thanks
Im trying to port cm7 to my device but it didnt have dnsproxylistener before so I added it to my boot.img and i flashed it with the rom and it goes straight to download mode. I want to know because I can than replace those files with my phones file. Thanks.

Hi !
I've tried to flash a rom, so as usual, I went to recovery (razrbootstrap.apk), made my backup. But when I rebooted my phone, it stuck on boot Screen.
When I go back to recovery , I don't see restore option.
Please help, and sorry for my English.

Hope this works for you
This will take you back to stock GB 2.3.5 (then after you can upgrade easily to ICS)
Ensure debugging is enabled - I assume you did this before trying to flash anything..?
From the Eternityproject
download Blur_Version.651.167.20.XT910.Retail.en.EU
and from XDA
AlternateFlashScript-WINDOWS.
unzip these files, then copy the alternate flash script files (just the files not the folder) and paste them in the rom folder.
connect your phone via usb and make sure it is in fastboot mode
to start flashing rom first open the eprj-mfastboot file - this will open a cmd window that will disappear
now open the Windows_Fla**** file and just be patient while this flashes stock GB 2.3.5
once done you may need to root the device again.
now you need to download RSDLite5.7 then install it
and ICS 4.0.4
Install
connect phone via usb and go into fastboot mode.
now open RSDLIte5.7 and wait for it to recognise your device -
once your device is recognised you can now browse through the Filename section and select the ICS 4.0.4
next select Decompress and Start Flashing
be patient and it will tell you when its done.
now that you got ICS up and running you will need to root your device again using
EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.1 from eternity project
now you can pretty much flash any ICS you want...

For future reference, at the very least, state the device you have and or are having problems with. Makes things easier for people like me
What your asking for doesn't exist to my knowledge. However, you can extract the contents of the zip to your hard disk and use fastboot to flash the file "boot.img' which should be in the root of the zip you have. Everything else needs to be pushed via ADB to the /system partition. If your CWM is built correctly, ADB should detect your device when connected. That's assuming that you have your drivers installed already.
In reality, I don't think that what you are wanting to do can be done, however I don't know everything either. :silly: Best of luck

I tried this using Livesuit 1.11 for a softwinerEvb a13 tablet (no other known device specs) and it said the image file was invalid. Situation is I soft bricked my tablet by flashing the wrong cwm zip. Finally found out how to connect via Livesuit (kinda like fastboot or bootloader mode or something? like Odin?) to flash stuff to it. I decided to use an erase img .img because where I found how to connect it suggested that to the OP (on techknow). So now instead of the tablet just being stuck on the first screen when trying to boot (normal or recovery), it doesn't do anything at all since there's no boot.img. Which I'm not worried about since It connects to my laptop just fine via livesuit still so I can get a boot on it (ADB won't detect it - pretty positive it's not ADB user error [I run cmd "adb root" when the tablet is connect in whatever mode its in - the way livesuit detects it - and adb says no device found]. BUT I can't find a stock firmware/rom/boot.img for it anywhere (mainly since there's a bunch of clones of this tablet). I'm downloading a few roms (in boot.img format? - .7z files) that I found for "this" tablet (meaning the devs don't know which clones which roms work on lol).
ANYWAY haha, my question is, is there a way to do what you said in the above quote that will work in my situation? I'm not advanced enough to know why livesuit says the image is invalid. I tried it with a cm10.1 zip made for this tablet and a cwm zip made for this tablet (for both I extracted the files and then tried flashing the boot.img I found in the directory(extracted folder right?) via livesuit. livesuit said image file invalid for both .img's.
Please help me and THANK YOU in advance.
I'm open to anyone's help and any help is much appreciated! Thanks buttons will be pressed!!!

You know just converting is not enough
I can convert it
But you need "partition table" for making .IMG
So we don't have it
check sdat2img and imgpatchtools
Hello there,
I accidentally flashed a wrong boot.img with sp flash tool. I can still acces CWM based recovery. I do not have a ROM or boot.img backup and was unable to find either one online. The phone is an Alcatel one touch 916D, since Alcatel is open source, I downloaded the source code something.xz file (sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/OT_991D_20120718.tar.xz/download), it should be possible to flash this to my phone using Odin right? I tried so, but Odin does not detect my phone. So I was wondering, is it perhaps possible to extact/create a boot.img from the source code file I have? I unzipped it and there are the folders kernel, mediatek and webkit. I have not found a boot.img anywhere in the files. I hope someone is able to help me.
thank you,
Jeroen
PS: If someone has the boot.img or can extract it from his/her phone that'd be even better
