Fastboot flash boot failed

Sp1ke47 commented 1 year ago

Running the script on Linux and got a .gz file. Unziped it to get the .img. When I tried to flash it via fastboot an error occured (remote: 'image is not a boot image') logs:

[?] Detected BOOT_IMAGE for /root/temp/boot.img!

[+] Found a match for '48010035822240b980420491e10313aa'!

[+] Success. The patched kernel is available at /root/temp/boot1.img.gz!

The original kernel and patched file attached. Please help!

I think you're confusing whatever the script is supposed to return you. As it stands currently, it isn't capable of repacking boot images yet. Thus, in your specific situation, it only returns the compressed zImage.

You are supposed to manually repack the resulting boot1.img.gz using a third-party tool, such as Android Image Kitchen (AIK), for example.

True. After repacking the kernel binary into boot.img the flash process succeeded. However, when I attempted to patch the newly packed image via Magisk and flashed it, my phone began to bootloop. vbmeta.img has been flashed to disable AVB verification. Haven’t tried patching in Magisk first then using this script. Maybe there are some arguments idk between the ramdisk patch and kernel patch.

Could you elaborate that, please? Did the phone boot without the Magisk patch? What kind of bootlop are you experiencing?

I tried, but AIK cannot recognize the output file as image file

Just found this and it works great. Thank you. @R0rt1z2

@Sp1ke47 @dtisfg @LineageOSDefender Here's what I did:

Grab boot.img from your firmware/ROM.
Then unpack it with Android Image Kitchen
I use the Linux version by executing the unpackimg.sh script. ./unpackimg.sh boot.img
After that you will get the boot.img-kernel file in the split_img folder.

Now it's time to use mtk-bpf-patcher

In my case just do this command to patch boot.img: mtk-bpf-patcher boot.img boot
And the result is the boot.gz file.
Now rename boot.gz to boot.img-kernel.
Then overwrite the boot.img-kernel file in the split_img folder with the boot.img-kernel file you just created.

Go back to Android image Kitchen to repack boot.img.

In my case by executing the repackimg.sh script without any input.
Then you will get the image-new.img file.
That's the patched boot.img

Tested with GSI.
