Have you tried this link? I find it helpful for the single core A8 Cortex (Polaroid) tablets when I have to access the boot.img. Look about halfway down for the "Boot partition" section.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys other devices have a thread like this so thought I'd get it going.
Here I share a folder, has a working unyaffs, built on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit known to extract all current neo img files.
a nice 51-udev rules that contains many popular phone models
and a recovery bundle too install cwm from linux, please feel free to add your own contributions and share

Two new additions today.
Motorola's modified fastboot, allows flashing larger images.
Android utility - nice little script will set up and update kitchen and help with porting.

thanks for sharing but unyaffs didn't work on my ubuntu 12.04 32 bit or other 32 distros i don't have any 64 distros so can't tested on those
error is Cannot execute binary file
may I ask did you build unyaffs for 64-bit
Yes sorry, built on 64 bit, just build it frm svn and it will work fine
added 64bit to first post now thanks

also doesn't work with ICS system.img(ftf, not nandroid)
Has anyone tried flashing one of these converted imgs, with fast boot? Does it work
Sin2img strips certain bytes from the sin to create the IMG, could be Sony altered the byte order meaning the IMG are corrupt, especially considering what we had with flashtool final verification failure.
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
added neo&vboottools.
contaions perl scripts to unpack and repack boot.img, edited to use default sony method, so that kernels boot after use. third perl script to extract commandline from existing boot.img, so that if extra options are needed you can add t repack script, just open in any text editor the script is straight forward.
binaries for mkbootimage and to565 included to create logo.rle for boot logs (e.g sony not bootsplash)

Its only the kernel that's not compatible with the kitchen. You can still mess with the rom itself in the kitchen. You may need to copy the updater script from your original rom though. Also I would recommend just zipping the rom up manually and not using the kit hen for that. The kit hen is good for adding root or deodexing, things like that.
If you want to mess with the boot.img for the p920/925 you will need specific tools which can be found in the development section of the Thrill/p925 forum.

I made a rom for LGP970
Hi everyone,
I'm noob here. I'm using Xperia S. And now learning mote about android.
However I have a question, how can I make boot.img from my ftf file?
Sure, I extracted the ftf, decrypt the kernel.sin into kernel.elf.
From kernel.elf, I decrypt it again and get 4 files, one image (I suppose it is kernel zImage), one ramdisk.gz, one file forgotten and another is elf.4.
Okay, now the problem comes.
The main purpose of me is to change the bootlogo of my Xperia S.
I searched for a day to change the bootlogo, most need to add the rle file into boot.img file (ramdisk).
For sure I read through the site how to unpack, edit and repack the boot image.
The kernel and ramdisk of mine are extracted from ftf but not existing custom Rom,
1. Can I directly use the mkbootimg program to create boot.img? Will it work out?
2. Do I need to aware of any parameters or setting for Xperia S? Since I worried that different devices have diff setting.
3. Is it better to make it on linux? I found mkbootimg.c in c language file but not precompiled program as tutorial, the link given is broken. Can work also?
Sorry, I'm really quite new and very noob, I tried searching and many other things, but still can't figure it out.
Hope that pros here can help me...

how did you decrypt kernel.sin ? can you explain step by step ? Im also a noob

For how to decrypt the kernel.sin, you can use Flashtool (not Sony official one)
Under Tools (perhaps I remember correctly), there is a option about decrypt SIN, and then you can choose the kernel.sin you want to decrypt.

hi i know this seems like a over asked question but my case is different at least i could find a solution .. i did look for it
so i need to unpack a boot.img and i did try with dsixda's kitchen and championswimmers kitchen but no hope .. they both say android magic header not found and doesn't unpack it.. i need to edit the bootclasspath of the kernel but there isnt a way i can without unpacking yeah ? i even tried re-naming to .elf and extracting with flashtool but that dosent give me an output either ..
does anyone know how i can do this ? or atleast a workaround ?

Hey thanks but ive tried that kitchen before and no luck
i figure the problem is
caused because the boot.img 's are not of standard type and do not have the standard ANDROID header therefore that kitchen wouldnt work
Okay, unpackbootimg crashes trying to unpack the boot.img from FXP204-cm-9-20130126-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat because it has the wrong "magic" at the top. trevd pointed this out as a definite incompatibility for some devices a couple pages back. Trying trevd's split_img from the first page, it actually reports the "Wrong magic" error and shows that the file has an ELF header not an ANDROID!. Opening in HxD shows that there is no ANDROID! header later on as with some HTC devices, so ELF is the only header, and we're basically dealing with a different, unsupported filetype here. On the upside, there is no real gap in the data, so there might not be a ramdisk packed with it anyway.

These are the linux alternatives they may or may not work based on what you said but might as well give them a try.
Hello Guys!
I am back with my new and great boot-animation for our only Xperia SP!
This is a great and amazing boot-animation
With the logo of Xperia SP a pure white essence just beautify's the phone's look with the X Box logo
It's just amazing
I have attached 3 screenshots which I guess are more than enough for you!
Rest you need to see when you try
This is an aroma flashable file so just boot into recovery and install this amazing boot animation
Some special feautres
* It has sound which intensifies the amazing experience of this boot animation
* It is in potrait mode i.e. You have it in vertical screen
* It is a flashable file. No need to carry all the manual setting like copying, setting permission bla bla. Just download, reboot in recovery, install and enjoy
Q:- I am just loving it, want to try NOW! But how to install it with keeping my current (or original) bootanimation safe!
You just need to go to root of your phone via root explorer the migrate to "/system/media/" there you will find your current or stock bootanimation.zip file. Just copy it and save it to someplace safe.
Then reboot into recovery and install my bootanimation!
Warning : No bricked devices should be blamed at me! Install at your own risk. Recommendation is to always keep a nandroid backup ready!

Though it is purely SAFE! But in-case you know if any mishap happens.
Please hit thanks for this great bootanimation..!
Here is the download link : https://app.box.com/s/quf3wpea5b54vcivdcv0
Request : Every work I do I need resources and currently I am working on various projects along with this bootanimation projects like building a beautiful and super sexy and fast ROM (4.4.4) with all the options to edit your own ROM as you wish from customizing battery icon to it's system tray and everything without any third party software! I am creating manual themes that would be provided with the ROM. Me alone as a developer it takes pretty much time and resources to build them eg I had my phone hard bricked just for trying my first bootanimation I made and I lost all my data in case of recovering it and it costed a lot of money too as Sony Service Center had to repair it. Please consider a small donation to me as it would help me to get my resources as I try every project before I release and ensure that you don't feel any bugs and it will also encourage me to develop more projects for future.If you have problem in donating then wait for sometime as my PayPal doesn't opens for all but do try at a later time. Thanks in advance

Btw you should add the instruction to change the downloaded zip to bootanimation.zip and chnage its permissions
That Xperia SP screen is original.
And it's flashable zip so need to set permission or anything
