I can't seem to get the boot.img file to unpack, regardless of what tool I use or what os. I typically get the results below. the long term goal is to edit the boot.img to allow the next7p to use ext3 /system as opposed to cramfs, and give full read/write. It has been done by Wendal Chen on a different but similar tablet. (Both are rk29xx tablets.)
Any help would be appreciated.
I have been able to create a "custom" rom, which has root and SU, but you cannot write to the /system.
the boot.img from my custom rom is 598k The boot.img pulled from the tablet
is 4096K i get the same issues from both.

Dsixda's kitchen has this feature, (un/re-pack) boot.img built in. Makes for very easy editing. Also helps for making your ROM.

That's what he said he used, but the kitchen does not support boot.img of his device's format. A lot of the cheaper tablets use a special format but I have seen Wiki guides on how they are built and extracted.
Any chance you know a link to one of the guides? I will also start searching on like tablets.

Google for the "cmp738a" by Craig. It's a really ****ty tablet that I owned for one day. It uses cramfs like yours, and there are some links on how to unpack and create a ROM. Use terms like "cmp738a unpack ROM"
Dsixda: First thanks for your kitchen tool really it is a great piece of work, I am sure you are under appreciated for it.
After you told me to do some searches I did, then I looked back over everything I had been reading.
I can say I feel like an idiot. I was letting the big picture blot out the details so to speak.
Almost literally all I had to do was remove 3-4 bytes from the header, and ungzip the file...cpio etc etc.
I was stuck in the train of thought that I had to "unpack the boot.img" file first, then ungzip it...

You mean it's like any other boot.img except for the extra bytes at the beginning and a different header (instead of "ANDROID!" - the actual header the kitchen looks for)?
Well yes and no. The kitchen still does not extract the boot.img correctly, zImage is created as a 0k file, and the ramdisk is still not extracted.
Ok I am still missing something here.

It's not going to work in the kitchen, what are you trying to do? It is missing the "ANDROID!" magic header and the rest of the file is in a garbled format. You'll need to Google for the solution for your device. I can't offer much help, sorry.
I understand that much. When you do a file boot.img command in linux it just comes back as DATA.
I'm not so much concerned with being able to use the kitchen on it as just being able to unpack and pack the file correctly, and completely.
Thanks for taking a peak at it.
Can you upload to dropbox and let me know. I was working on an experimental tool to do this, so an unknown device would be good to check.. I might be some time in getting back to you though

Thanks for taking a peak.
Could you also provide the full name of the tablet, manufacturer, and possibly a link to the device?
The tablet in question is the nextbook 7 premium
marketed in the US by E-fun. Website is www.nextbookusa.com
on the front of the page there is a link to the latest firmware which the current version of DocHoppy Rom is based on.
Thanks again for taking a peak at it.
I know this much, the boot.img file it's self once unpacked from the update.img file
is a gziped cpio file, with odd header and footer bits. I have been able to unpack the file (removing header info to make it gzip recognizable), and then using 7zip of all things to unpack the cpio portion. That is where I get hung up at. I need to unpack it correctly so it can be rebuilt correctly. By doing it the way I have, you can't rebuild the file properly.
Update:
After alot of research, and trial and error, I was able to correctly unpack and repack the boot.img. I flashed the repack to my tablet, and successfully booted.
Next step is to modify init.rc and convert /system to ext3.
I will keep you posted.
Do document what you did so that it helps someone else later

I'm having a similar problem, posted about here. I don't understand why the Android magic number isn't making it into my kernel. I thought the kernel compile would be straightforward, but sheesh...

HOWTO: Creating your own a custom system.img for flashing with the sda-flashtool
Code:
# Remove the following hex sequences from the stock system.img
# These are the only thing that stop the image from being a normal ext4 raw image.
"30 3C 38 30 30 30 30 30 2E 2E 2E 2E" (Three total)
"30 30 32 39 3D 39 36 38 2E 2E 2E 2E" (One)
# Convert the now fixed system.img to a raw ext4 image to mount using simg2img (linux or possibly windows)
simg2img system.img system.raw
# Mount the raw image using loop (linux)
mkdir rawsystem
mount -t ext4 -o loop system.raw ./rawsystem/
# When you are finished making changes - create a new_system.img using the 4096 sparse format.
make_ext4fs -s -l 1024M -b 4096 -a system new_system.img rawsystem/
# move the new_system.img to the sda-flashtool directory (in windows) :)
# run sda-flashtool
sda-flashtool
# note that the sda-flashtool takes care of the injecting the headers --- even with file size changes..
# semi-major bug right now is the new_system.img needs to be at least 600mb. Will be fixed soon?..
# Have fun!

I don't have much experience, but just got one of these and would like to root it so I hope you get some replies. Thanks.
If you manage to find anything out about this I am super interested. Just got one because... why not, it was 10 bucks lol. If you need a guinea pig im down.
Hope we can find root for this phone soon, many are trying current root tools, but none are working, I have tried like 5-6 different ones so far, none working as of yet. im sure in a few more days - someone will have an update on there tool for this to be rooted.
Nevermind.
I have 4 of them now, so hope we can find a way to root them soon, I also wanted to get the bootloader unlocked if possible.

Opened up one of my 5560s' (Arise) and it looks like it's almost identical to the Coolpad 5217 which happens to have a root and various ROMs available to download. I don't have much time available to start porting ROMs, but someone here might go ahead and give it a look. I'll try to find some time later today to post photos of the PCB.

Have you tried towelroot?
towelroot does not work just tried it
I've been playing around with this device and I figured I would share the progress I've made. I also obtained the CPB file (along with the official USB drivers) from Coolpad and was able to extract it with YGDP, the result of which can be found at the link below:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4t9dt63rRpXaHo0XzNqVy1WT00&usp=sharing
Based on the extracted boot.img and the partition information pulled from a running phone I attempted a build of CWM for the 5560S - which can also be found at the link above. I haven't had any luck getting YGDP to flash the custom recovery.img and attempting to flash it via Fastboot hangs on "Writing..." Perhaps someone with a little more time on their hands will be able to get this working.
A few notes:
Coolpad uses a custom USB device ID that is not recognized by the fastboot command automatically. You must use the following flag while issuing fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1EBF <command>
Attempting to flash the stock CPB file via YGDP will result in a "soft-brick" where the phone will hang on a screen that says "1. modem" with up/down on the side. You can access the phone via ADB in this mode and issue the following command to reboot normally (which differs from the advise you may find online for other Coolpad models):
Code:
adb reboot system
Attempting to replace the recovery.img in the temporary folder YGDP creates (which only happens after modifying its configuration for the phone) does not seem to cause it to flash the custom image instead, unlike other Coolpad models
Attempting to replace the recovery.img in the CPB file with the custom recovery.img in a hex editor causes YGDP to complain about the checksum not matching. I'm not sure where this checksum is stored or if it's modifiable.
Hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:
Has anyone figured this I out yet?
Just wondering if root is available yet?

Awesome! TYVM!
I soft-bricked my 5560 as well-- ended up using adb's shell to reboot into the stock recovery, clear both the data and cache, then rebooted and.. it started up fully stock with no issues that I can see..
Quick question -- how did you get the YGDP to actually extract the *.imgs? Using procmon I've seen YGDP read from the CPB but never write to any files..
Coolpad 5560S Pics
Here are some crappy pics of the insides, I didn't see any specific headers for any UART or JTAG, but they could be multiplexed with other pins. I'll get around to actually desoldering the RF shields some day and using the Nikon D90 for the pics instead of the iPhone.

The XML config for the phone that presumably tells YGDP how to flash it is stored in dProdRes.dll. Using Resource Hacker or another resource editing application you can edit the XML value for UnzipCPB to "1" in the 5560S section, which causes YGDP to extract (more accurately "split" since the file isn't compressed in any way) the CPB file into the DownloadFiles directory. I've added my modified version of dProdRes.dll to the Google Drive folder referenced above - the md5sum for the original file should be 1041E39DF18B86E9945B4A8601E6ACD7 and the modified file should be E3C5538235B0742425B84D97DF066972.

Using Resource Hacker or another resource editing application you can edit the XML value for UnzipCPB to "1" in the 5560S section, which causes YGDP to extract (more accurately "split" since the file isn't compressed in any way) the CPB file into the DownloadFiles directory. I've added my modified version of dProdRes.dll to the Google Drive folder referenced above - the md5sum for the original file should be 1041E39DF18B86E9945B4A8601E6ACD7 and the modified file should be E3C5538235B0742425B84D97DF066972.

Outstanding -- thanks for the explanation.
Playing around a bit today noticed:
-YGDP ignores the unzipped files and procmon shows even if YGDP unzips the CPB it still simply reads from the CPB. Tried playing around with the downmod="" section in the XML but YGDP still ignores the zips.
-Did notice that a few of the other coolpads had custom CPB's that only had the recovery in them. Perhaps its time to reverse engineer a file format..

I noticed that too, and it seems that the community for other models had figured out how to do exactly that. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any documentation or tutorials online and didn't receive a response from the one or two people that I contacted.

Same.. We'll keep lookin!
Ty again for all your input in this.. sometimes we all have a bit of the puzzle.
Why cxant anyone figure this out?
It seems that since this is a excellent phone that can literally be purchased for $9.99 at King Soopers, that a lot of people would have them even if just for a backup phone. I figured there would be a lot of ROM's, Recovery's, ect... ANYONE, PLEASE HELP US!!!:good:
Hi, I need help.
Long time ago I was looking for a way to extract kallsyms from boot/zImage (Android) without running the kernel (statically).
I found this:
at github.com look for fi01/kallsymsprint
This worked and served well for ARM32 kernels. It was able to find and extract kallsyms (offset + function name). It was limited to known 6 patterns of kallsyms locations, but still was better than nothing.
Now, new devices are coming (Samsung S6 Series, for example) based on ARM64 (aarch64). It is UBOOT images, with uncompressed kernel. The tool (above) does not work anymore.
I was trying to do some manual work and figured out following:
0xffffffc000206000 is offset of the first 3 kallsyms functions, so I was able to find where kallsyms_addresses table starts.
It was found at aarch64.img (SM-G920 kernel) at offset from 0xc19800 to 0xc96088 (size is 510088 or 0x7C888). There are 0xF911 (63761) symbols (11 F9 00 00), and kallsyms_num_syms is located at 0xc96090 (after 0x78 (120) zero bytes after table ends).
Next data block of something starts at 0xc96190
Looks like all sections inside kernel are 32-byte aligned.
I was able to find some text part at 0x007d5f90.
Something that looks like some table (maybe not related) at 0x08403504.
Another table at 0x00e8eb20 - 0x00eb6a00.
Update:
kallsyms_in_memory_addresses 0xc19790
kallsyms_in_memory_num_syms 0x0000f911 (at 0xc96090)
kallsyms_in_memory_names 0xc96190
kallsyms_type_table ? 0xd56198
kallsyms_in_memory_markers 0xd56990
kallsyms_token_table 0xd56d90
Who can give any idea how to modify the kallsymsprint code or explain how to find and extract the kallsyms?

Can you attach that image here, to take a look? It sounds like there is no ramdisk in it. There are some phones that doesn't have ramdisks in boot images.

Sure thing, just remove .zip from the file name, had to do that as it only allows 8Mb img uploads
I'm trying to edit the boot so that I might be able to make the external SD into the data drive, is this even possible or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!

Ok, I see... Your image is "lokified". In order to use my tool you need to "de-lokify" it first, then after modding you need to "re-lokify" it back. Some infos here and here. It may be many other infos but I didn't have time to do a full search; you have to do it for yourself.
Some LG and Samsung devices have that "Loki" thing and you need to deal with it. Maybe when I'll have a phone like that I'll make an automated process for it, but now I haven't and I can't work "in blind".
I don't know what to say about your last question... I'm not even sure what you're talking about.

Awesome, thanks!
basically, the LG Optimus F3 comes with too little memory built in, there's a program that mounts an external SD's second partition as a data folder, but even still it runs out of internal memory or won't install apps larger than the internal memory because the "System" partition still has little room.
so the goal was to edit the boot so it will boot using an external SD directly as the system drive, it would read it's maximum memory available as whatever the external SD's maximum is.
this would solve the problem, if it works, if not then it'll probably just brick the phone :good:
I just wanted to update and say thanks. This helped out great! I was able to successfully boot /data from my external SD card as desired, however, my card is only a class 2 so it won't be a good idea until I upgrade it to a class 10.
Lg Optimus F3 comes with very little internal storage, which was giving me a headache, so I wanted to make the phone boot using an external SD as the /data partition.
after following your tip, I unloki'd the boot image and used your Carliv Image Kitchen to extract the contents, edited the fstab and edited out the original code: "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data" telling it to mount /data on the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 instead.
after repacking and re-loking and flashing the .img it had some problems, for some reason it was just booting to a black screen, so I used dd from the team win terminal to copy the /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata over to the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2, and it worked!
being a class 2, it booted slowly and responded slowly but works none the less.
to be sure there was no problem with partition size, being how I used dd to mirror userdata over to the sdcard, I ran gparted in linux and resized the partition smaller, then larger to full size (just in case)
thanks for your wonderful tool and for pointing me in the right direction.

The answer is already in your question:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As I already posted in recovery's thread, it will work with kitkat kernels. Some people port it to lollipop but I never recommended that.
So to answer clearly cm11 because cm12 means lollipop, or it will work with any other kitkat based ROM if your phone has any kitkat kernel released.
You need to ask the one who released that cm12 for your phone to provide a matching recovery along.
Now you probably need to reflash the phone with SPFlashTools.
ok thanks a whole lot but im having another issue the sd card is now only readable by my phone how do i go about copying a rom to it whenever i plug it into the pc it doesnt come up

Which chipset?
Hi there... I woul like to ask if this tool works for Helio x20 cpu's... (Mt6797 - Leagoo T10) because I'm trying to extract the stock recovery but having trouble with the ramdisk... It says "compression used unknown..." I've seen it mentioned in the discussion some times but the explanation was to use the 1. Metod ??? I'm using the windows 1.1 version and I really don't see any other method to use (start bat, r, 1 recovery.img, , 1 unpack image, error....) I'm just installing Ubuntu to see the difference but would be grateful for some advise... Thanks.
Since main Carlive Image Kitchen thread has been closed in 2017 all the util builds have been lost for some unknown reason. Dev claimed he have personal problems and adviced users to help each other.
I've found latest official version 1.3 builds and publish them here for practical and historic reasons. This util mentioned in a various manuals so people will look for it for a long time then. Old Linux modded version by yuweng is also added for completeness.

Furthermore user FOV5 @ 4pda.ru forums have modded latest 1.3 version a few times so I do publish here his latest modded version 1.5B3 (12-Jan-2018)
Changes history:
- v1.4: Support for some non-standard kernel images (e.g. LibreELEC and similar).
- v1.5B1:
- Removed 'Boot' and 'Recovery' prefixes from file names while unpacking Boot/Recovery images. This is due to ability to easily compare whole Boot and Recovery folders after unpacking.
- Added optional experimental AmLogic core unpacking. This could be helpful to patch storage media layout when device partition build into the core.
- v1.5B2: Fixed 32 bit app crash after core unpacking. A few other small non critical fixes.
- v1.5B3:
- New while core slitting, parameters like Name, Load Address and Entry Point are preserved.
- Fixed: New app will try to pack core only when all the 4 kernel parts are found in the unpacking folder. If core unpacking process some kind failed, one or more kernel.* files will be missing, so repack process will use original core instead of trying to assemble broken one.

If you have any questions related to this modded app version look for FOV5 user at 4pda.ru forums and ask him (I don't know does he speak any langs except Russian, online translators available anyway. There is also Russian numeric captcha problem for non-Russian speakers when loggin in to that forums, sorry guys). I do not often use this app and occasionally visit XDA, so I can't support this product in a professional manner. Help each other guys!
Hi everyone, this is a short guide on how to flash a GSI on the A7 Lite (without TWRP).
Its a nice little tablet for the price but it doesn't have a very powerful SOC and for me the One UI is barely usable on this device. The launcher and the whole system UI feel extremely laggy, but apps generally run fine.
I tried phhusson's custom Android 12 GSI and the device was almost resurrected. Much much less UI lag and the battery life is the same as stock ROM. The only thing i found not working is MTP but i don't need it.
Since i saw a couple users here asking about GSIs i decided to make a very simple guide.
As always do this at your own risk. You may brick your device. You will void your warranty.
Follow the guide only if you know what your are doing. Read each step carefully and avoid copy pasting stuff randomly.
I won't go deep into details as i believe you should have some basic knowledge if you decide to do this.
The procedure sould work for both T220 and T225 (i tested it on a T220).
I did this on Windows using WSL for some of the steps.

- tar-md5-script-tool
Use the attached tar-md5-script-tool.zip
Steps
1. Extract official ROM files (BL, AP, CP, CSC)
2. Extract AP .tar.md5
3. Decompress the extracted super.img.lz4
Code:
lz4 -d super.img.lz4 super.img
4. Convert the sparse super.img
Code:
simg2img super.img super.ext4.img
5. Unpack super.ext4.img
Code:
lpunpack super.ext4.img
I got 4 partitions in my image (should be the same for all T220/T225 ROMs):
- odm.img
- product.img
- system.img
- vendor.img
6. Replace system.img with your GSI (rename it to system.img)
7. Get the size of all partitions and the size of the original super.ext4.img (not the sparse super.img)
Code:
stat -c '%n %s' IMG_FILE.img
8. Repack super.img
Code:
lpmake --metadata-size 65536 \
--super-name super \
--metadata-slots 2 \
--device super:ORIGINAL_SUPER_IMG_SIZE \
--group main:SUM_OF_ALL_PARTITIONS_SIZES \
--partition odm:readonly:ODM_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image odm=./odm.img \
--partition product:readonly:PRODUCT_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image product=./product.img \
--partition system:readonly:SYSTEM_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image system=./system.img \
--partition vendor:readonly:VENDOR_PARTITION_SIZE:main \
--image vendor=./vendor.img \
--sparse \
--output ./super_new.img
Replace ORIGINAL_SUPER_IMG_SIZE, SUM_OF_ALL_PARTITIONS_SIZES, ODM_PARTITION_SIZE, PRODUCT_PARTITION_SIZE, SYSTEM_PARTITION_SIZE, VENDOR_PARTITION_SIZE with the values you obtained in step 7.
Read lpmake docs for a more detailed expalation of the args used above:
partition_tools - platform/system/extras - Git at Google
9. Compress the repacked super_new.img
Code:
lz4 -B6 --content-size super_new.img super_new.img.lz4
10. Compress the clean vmbeta.img
Code:
lz4 -B6 --content-size vbmeta.img vbmeta.img.lz4
11. Extract tar-md5-script-tool.zip
12. Put all the *.img.lz4 files extracted from AP .tar.gz in tar-md5-script-tool dir
13. Replace super.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 in tar-md5-script-tool dir with your repacked and compressed super_new.img.lz4 (rename it to super.img.lz4) and the clean compressed vbmeta.img.lz4
14. Run batch.bat in tar-md5-script-tool dir
You will find the new AP .tar.md5 in the temp-folder subdir
15. Flash your custom AP .tar.md5 with Odin along with BL, CP, CSC from original ROM
16. Reboot into recovery and do a factory reset
17. Done

System lang is italian but should be easy to understand.
I found only a couple bugs so far in phhusson's GSI:
- in the launcher dragging apps from drawer to homescreen doesn't always work (just use another launcher)
- crashed once while searching in settings app
I use the tablet only for media consumption and some retrogaming, so there are probably other bugs i haven't noticed.
This is a generic guide, it won't include a "known issues" section since it largely depends on what GSI you choose.
I haven't tested this on the LTE version so i can't say for sure if mobile network works or not.
Unfortunately i don't have the time to make a custom ROM, test it and keep it updated here on the forum but maybe if there is enough interest someone will do it.
I hope other users will try to flash a GSI and share their experience here so we can gather some info on working/broken stuff, especially on the LTE model since i can't test that.
Hello,
I'm sorry but what am I missing here?
I'm a little fustrated cause after hours and hours of headaches I got to the second to last step which involves tar-md5-script-tool
I simply put all the .img.lz4 files from AP and replace super & vbmeta files which the ones that I converted and try to run the batch.bat as instructed.
However nothing happens and this is what the program spits out.
On the tar tool xda forum it says that it convers .img files, not .img.lz4 . Are we supposed to extract all the .img files from inside the .lz4 files?
I appreciate the guide but there are a lot of missing details I had to fill in and figure out myself, like the fact that from step 4 to step 8 you need to use WSL or a Linux distro (using simg2img for Windows messes things up so please use the one from otatools inside a linux bash)
Also for people that are not familiar with linux you need to type "./" in front of directed commands ( in this case ./simg2img ./lpunpack ./lpmake)
I'm not a developer or a programmer, maybe you wrote this guide for people more inclined to that, but for me this was pretty hard.
Noob here, but I'm running the "simg2img super.img super.ext4.img" and nothing happens for 5 min and when I'm aborting I'm getting a "Error reading sparse file header".
Any suggestions?

I can confirm simg2img doesn't seem to work on Windows, i used WSL.
@ReubenMCSM i will update the guide with more details in the future but i don't have much time right now.
For you specific issue, try to use the attached tar-md5-script-tool.
Great thanks!
What's the process with tar-md5-script-tool? Just moving the super.img to the folder and running the batch.bat didn't work the output file in the temp folder is 11 kb. Tried to change super.img to super.tar but no change.
Thanks for the tool, but unfortunately the output is the same, like the problem @DanneSwe has
It looks like the batch.bat script from the tar md5 tool linked in the guide is a bit different from the one i used. I will update the guide.
Try again with the version i attached in the post above.
- Extract the AP tar md5 from official rom
- Copy all .img.lz4 files in the tar-md5-script-tool folder
- Replace super.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 (step 13)
- Launch batch.bat, output should look like this
- You will find AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5 in temp-folder
It finally worked! I redid everything and also moved my folder to drive C instead of drive D, maybe this made the difference

What GSI did you pick and could you upload the files you flashed?
I got simg2img to work by using
.\simg2img -i super.img -o super.ext4.img
packed img filename: super.img

Wrote "super.ext4.img"

Successfully flashed GSI with magisk on my T220 following the OP's procedure. MTP is not working as the OP said. However, I can use my flash drive so I don't really miss MTP.
I chose "system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz" for GSI. "Treble Info" app can tell you what image would be compatible with your device.
If you want to use a different launcher like Nova instead of the default one, change the "Smallest width" setting from 600 to 598 in Developer options to hide the annoying taskbar.
AOSP-Mods and "Project Themer - Android 12+" work fine for me.
Here is my build for my device SM-T220 (SM-T220_EUX_T220XXU1AVE1):
GSI: system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz
Custom AP: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045394/AP_TAR_MD5_CUSTOM_FILE_ODIN.tar.md5
Custom AP with Magisk patch: https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/7045714/magisk_patched-25101_cauJQ.tar
You can extract BL and Home_CSC from SM-T220_EUX_T220XXU1AVE1.
Notes: My device is actually SM-T220 XAR, but I have been updating it with SM-T220 EUX firmware versions without any issue.

Here is the custom AP based on the following. Since I don't have SM-T225 device, can't verify it. However, I compiled the AP the same way I did for my SM-T220.
- SM-T225_EUX_T225XXU1AUJ1
- GSI: system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz

What GSI did you pick and could you upload the files you flashed?
I got simg2img to work by using
.\simg2img -i super.img -o super.ext4.img
packed img filename: super.img
output img filename: super.ext4.img
Wrote "super.ext4.img"

Use this ONLY on SM-T220 (without SIM card) and on EUX version.
