# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
i9001# ext4_utils/simg2img boot.img boot_ext4.img
Bad magic
Last update broken my 2G connection . 2G working but from time to time is disconnecting and i have to switch to 3G and then back to 2G.
What is the format of stock boot.img?
My idea was to extract the stock boot.img, unapck it modify the files included, pack it back and flash it but
Code:# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img i9001# ext4_utils/simg2img boot.img boot_ext4.img Bad magic
doesn't do the trick.
I thought those .img files were sparse img but simg2img is just failing at uncompressing them.
Does anyone know what format are they?
it is img format
use dsixda kitchen to extract it , it is easy way
but i didn't get your idea
no boot img in the link aboveI'm having the same bootloop into recovery problem as that one:

but I can't use Odin to flash the new boot.img, so I want to turn that Boot_loader.tar file into an img file that can be flashed with dd.
Does it sound realistic to you?
Sorry, I meant the Boot_loader.tar. I want to flash that tar file but I can't use Odin, so my idea is to turn the Boot_loader.tar file into an img file that I can install directly with dd
Sorry, fixed.

Why not?? I mean for his recovery Arco made two versions, one flashable with Odin and the other flashable with dd, so I guess it's possible for a boot image too.
