Hello guys i have been searching forums and google for a while now but i haven't found my answer i want boot.img to create custom recovery for coby kyros 7030 (china made tablet) i have searched in tablet using es file explorer for boot.img but haven't found it ....
Please guys help me find the location of boot.img
Thanks
Dump - guys please help me out and its running ICS 4.0.4 ....

boot.img as seen from a running ROM is one of the mtd blocks typically /dev/mtd/mtd2 . Search for if= and of=, for how to get it from the device.
Or (depending on if the binary is installed), run dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img. Both of these should require root, without root = no boot.img.
And fyi not sure how you can go from boot.img to recovery.img... only reason I can see is that you want the kernel/zImage.

actually the reason i want boot.img file is that i want to create custom recovery for it (CWM) i have seen that CWM builder website it requires boot.img file to create custom recovery and i have rooted the tablet and installed Terminal Emulator .. Now ill try that command from terminal and tell you what happens and mtd blocks are not there in /dev ...
okay after using that command it says
"/system/bin/sh: dump_image: not found"
i don't know what to do now

any other method you got ?
i really wanna make custom recovery so i can make nandroid backup of it and make custom roms and flash them ...
okay i tried the first method too but it says segmentation fault i don't know why
You can also manually place "dump_image" on your device via ADB. You will need to Google for a download tho.

the simplest way is to log into adb shell and run
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then exit adb and run
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this assumes that your boot is on mtd2 (run: cat /proc/mtd on the device to determine right partition)

well i know it's been a quite long time...
but according to your thread from then you managed to dump boot.img without root using some kind of tool.

can you adb into the phone from your PC ?
you can try to push a rom to /data/media
boot to recovery wait about 10 seconds and the open cmd on you pc and run adb
adb push Rom.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy (it takes a while)
reboot phone back to recovery
your rom.zip should be on the phone now
Flash
your home free
Does twrp run? You should still be able to install the Rom as long as your recovery program still works.

twrp is messed up he most likely formatted the system and the /sdcard (rom) it happens all the time

Here is the instructions i posted that got another guy up and running hope it helps you out
This worked in CWM anyway
Boot into recovery
from the pc (c:\fastboot) do the adb push filename.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy
then on the phone reboot recovery your rom should be in the root of the sdcard waiting for you to flash
I just tested it and it worked perfect ( of coarse I didn't format my sdcard so ymmv )

Ok first, thank you for taking the time to help me with this.
I am a little bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I know just enough to get into trouble apparently. lol
I have my phone plugged in and have adb up, and am in fastboot. It doesn't seem to recognize my phone. I type adb devices, it just says list of devices and doesn't list any.
It won't let me push anything to my phone. I'm probably doing something wrong.

I've tried all of this with no luck at all. Main version is 1.26.502.10...tried installing Nandroid backups that other posted and keep getting an error when extracting the zip. I've adb pushed ROMs to the sdcard multiple times. They load for installation, everthing seems to work, but once I reboot, it hangs on the HTC screen.
I too deleted the system files so I can't get back in the phone. Tried CWM and TWRP and tried over and over to get it to work with no luck.
Tried installing CleanROM, Stock, and one other...no dice.
Any ideas? I've been at this for two days now.

you have to lock your bootloader first is all.
the RUU is an unreleased leak, but yes it will install as long as your CID is CWS_001. An AT&T device.

Hello,
I'm a moron and accidentally formatted my SD card, now I can enter bootloader and recovery, but have no ROM's to flash. I can access ADB but when I search devices, it gives me a serial number type of value, then shows "recovery" next to it. I don't think it's actually seeing my device, therefore, I cannot send ROM's through ADB push command.
My question is, can anyone direct me to where I can find the correct drivers in order for ADB to see my device? Or is there any easier way of getting a ROM onto my SD card so I can flash a ROM?
Thank you all!

Try in adb in recovery
push locationofblah/blah.zip sdcard/downloads
Also what recovery ate you using and was the rom 4.1 or 4.2 since that determines whether you need to push to sdcard or sdcard/0/downloads.

Recovery is TWRP 4.1 I believe. I was using 4.2 previously (CM 10.1 Nightly) and was attempting to flash Gapps when I made my moronic decision. I'll attempt to push to sdcard/0/downloads this time - don't think I've tried that.

After running the last step of the just released bootloader unlock, I get this.
Cannot open for read, no such file or directory
I'm copying and pasting, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Edit- I got it! Making a backup, now. Bring on those ROMs, boys! Woohoo!
Just a thought but for other folks who might run into this issue, you could describe what you did to fix it - i.e., did you make a typo, did you put the file in the wrong directory...

For me, my mistake was it got downloaded to the downloads folder and that's not the director being accessed. I didn't move it to just sit in the sdcard directory outside of a folder. So, when I ran the second command, I'd get your error. Moving the file solves the problem.

Yes because it's the actual Recovery Image ( TWRP ) that's been Bump'd to work on our phones.
Bump isn't an app, it's a modified TWRP.
So.. My first tread here.
Anyways, let's jump into the topic itself.
So today foolishly, I used TWRP and "kind of" deleted the whole operating system by accident.
How could I recover it, and no, I do not have ANY backups, I used to have but seems like I deleted them aswell..
The phone is Nexus 4 and Android version is 4.4.4
This is kind of urgent, since I need my phone to work right now.
All help is appreciated, waiting for your replies,

Use fastboot to flash the stock img files to the phone while in bootloader/fastboot mode.

He's obviously using TWRP and obviously is indeed rooted. I'm sorry to come off as rude (I don't mean to), but asking that isn't going to help. That's more less going to irritate other users anyways.

First, having TWRP installed does not equal being rooted, there are plenty of devices that have TWRP installed but are not rooted. Including devices that have TWRP and LineageOS custom ROMs installed but no root. You can install TWRP, create and restore backups and flash custom ROMs, all without root ever being involved in any part of it.
Second, nothing absolutely says they are obviously using TWRP. TWRP is not the only way of creating a .win backup file.
So, that equals, my questions were valid. They were asked for absolute specificity, instead of assuming.

You can download your stock firmware and extract the boot.img from the firmware.
Or, you can install a terminal emulator app or use the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP then find some threads that explain how to use dd commands on android to dd ..img files to/from your internal/external sdcard
You can also use adb/adb shell commands to dd ..img files to/from your device.
