Is there any code or way to unpack n repack boot.img in android's terminal emulator?
I know about repacking n unpacking scripts about windows.
I want to know is that possible in android.
Can anyone help me please!!

Yes, it is possible. I am currently able to unpack the boot.img and ramdisk, but when compiling the ramdisk with the kernel to make the new insecure boot.img something isn't right. Everytime I flash it I go in to a boot loop. Thinking maybe I am not applying the ramdisk address. As of now, not sure what the cause is.

Place unpackbootimg in /system/bin/ with executable permissions. Open up terminal emulator and type unpackbootimg. It will show what to do. My problem right now is packing it. I get boot loops. Not sure why. Anyways, good luck.

Ignore the ramdisk.sh (its jacked up). Just unpack the ramdisk manually using terminal emulator. You will need gzip and cpio support on your device though.

ramdisk.sh originally looks like this...
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
Dir=$1
FileName=*ramdisk
cd $Dir
busybox cp -f *ramdisk.gz ./ramdisk/
cd $Dir/./ramdisk
busybox gzip -d *ramdisk.gz
busybox cpio -i -F *ramdisk
busybox rm -f *ramdisk *-ramdisk *.img-ramdisk
busybox touch ok

Fixed ramdisk.sh.
Anyways, just place unpackbootimg, ramdisk.sh, and mkbootimg in /system/bin/ then go from there.

Let me know if you got a boot.img to flash successfully on your device. You might get an arguement or complaint from the cpio command found in the ramdisk.sh. If so, then don't use your eternal or external sdcard. FAT is not welcome by cpio lol. Have to create a new folder in /system then take it from there.

Check out that link again. New files, better instructions, and works flawlessly. The last one I provided to you was corrupted when being compiled. But I fixed it. It will work now. Just wanted to update you on this since you are looking for such tools.

Let me know what you think of it or if there are any ideas you would like to add to make the tools better. The two tools are unmkbootimg and mkbootimg. Unmkbootimg will make the process much easier. Enjoy bro.
Feedback is always encouraged. I also provided the source.
Sent from my K2_CL using Tapatalk
Update: binaries included...
mkbootimg, unmkbootimg, and mkbootfs.
Works with ARM devices.
Have tested this on LOTS of boot.img's and all were successful.
this project was a headache and I almost gave up on it. But at last, it is complete lol.

There is an app called 2nd init recovery in the Market. It's like safestrap or boot menu manager (I think.) Can anyone risk to try it? Or should I risk it? Will it work?
Maybe we can get a chance to flash a custom recovery or something...?
I don't even know it's the right section to start thread.

Try lte2recovery here: http://androidforums.com/spirit-4g-...2971-2nd-init-recovery-985hpakick-spirit.html
If that works then only use the reboot option in the app since your device will be factory reset by rebooting in an other way, only use the 2nd Init Reboot Recovery (not like the option will work anyway so you have to go into it manually) (read the thread fully).

Send me this files:
/proc/partitions
/proc/mounts
/proc/mtd
/init.rc (and all subfiles like init.something.rc)
/fstab (can be named something.fstab or fstab.something), also in /etc
/kernel or /zImage if you have it
And the output of
ls -al /dev/block
do also search in this folder for a folder named "by-name" (may be in a subfolder so do some lookaround)
and do a ls -al on that folder to.
I think that is a good start.

OK. I will send them in 10 minutes.
And I think I ported the recovery-check, recovery-install and recovery-uninstall script files. I will attach them too. I will be happy if you send your feedbacks.
One more question, how can i find the kernel image file?

Thanks. Looks similar to the XTS.
You'll probably not find the kernel image. I just thought if it was in the rootfs but if it isn't we can't reach it (it lies in the encrypted hidden.img).
It isn't necessary but would be a nice touch.
There are no mtd in proc on XTS either. Same there it's usually there and could help a bit but if it isn't that isn't a big of a deal.
On big difference seems to be how the sdcard is managed (XTS have it in /data/media where the STS are using vold) could you se if there is a vold.fstab (or similar) in /etc?
When I have some initial things to test I will post.
Here you are. Vold.fstab

it has to be ported as well,
the miui language packs are also device based, they have the n7100 listed on miuiandroid (note 2 t03g), but for the 7105 they haven't gotten a release, instead we are dependant off ports made by wonderfull users like jing
flashing a language pack from a different device will mess up the miui installation so unless jing decides to port the language pack your stuck with the default languages

can anyone post me the recovery log
im tring to upload the full zip im using but my connection is terrible
I replaced both install and binary scripts with T Mobile Note 2 MIUI ones and I was able to flash it to Note without any issue. I also replaced the kernel with T Mobile. The only issue I see is both internal and external SD cards recognized by the PC when I connect through USB cable but I do not see any internal or external folders data.
Before I installed TWRP, I extracted the stock recovery in case anyone needed it for some reason. The zip file contains the recovery.img file and instructions.

Well you can get it easily if you have a vzw kdz then use the kdz/tot extractor in the dev section and convert the recovery.bin to recovery.img using an app like magiciso

Well the way the op recommends it is:
1 - Copy recovery.img to root of SDCard
2 - Open Terminal Emulator (or adb shell) with root and run the following command-
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
3 - Reboot
But I don't know if that would work in all cases/haven't tried, the other way to flash it is by getting into fastboot mode via adb or something and using following commands:
-fastboot erase recovery
-fastboot flash recovery recovery.omg

Did you manage to do it?
I needed to update too, similar thought process. Wondering whether i can flash this *.img using Flashify. I also made a backup of my stock recovery.img before I installed TWRP, could that be used either?
And most importantly, was the OTA update smooth after you got stock recovery back?
Worst case scenario, no TWRP recovery & unable to boot...

Vendor.img is the binaries. They are now in the factory image zip. It resides on it's own partition dev block 24 named VNR. This is why stock image is so big and probably why it won't flash. These binaries only change on update so should be able to remove vendor.img from zip and flash the zip without the low space error to factory restore..
