Correct boot could be flashed only in Odin.

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?

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

If you wanna do it in another way using terminal then do this

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

This might stop the bootloops

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.

The Odin package also includes the same boot img
If you extract the file you'll find it there

    Fix for recovery bootloop problem

    Thanks to everyone who hear my pray and tried to help with my problem (bootloop into recovery). And Acro68 sorry that i'm bothered you. I here again to publish the solution. Problem was in bootloader, like people on other forum says (it was damaged somehow, probably because kies update fails before).

    1. Open Odin.exe (UnZip from Odin.zip)
    2. Go into Download mode
    3. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops (UnZip from AriesVE.zip)
    4. Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar
    5. Flash it and bootloop into recovery never gona happen.

    All the files is attached...

    Hello, guys.
    First of all, sorry for my 2.5-month absence, I was really short of time because of university and long illness, so I decided to freeze module development for a while. I understand that doing so without any posts there was rude, and ask for understanding.
    Next, it was a great surprise for me to see really working CM9 for our phone!!! I can only say GJ to arco68 - thank you guy, you really did this, even without a phone! I don't think my work is relevant anymore, so I'll stop with CM7 and will check out his work (maybe I'll be of some help). I've been able to found quick solution for working audio in 2.3.7, also, but I don't think it is relevant anymore ^_^.
    Once again, good job, arco68. I'll try to build CM9 with your configuration and test it, so I'm going to be just user and tester for now. ^_^

    Here's a new full test build of the rom. This contains fixed boot image, so it actually boots (unless I screwed something up this time :p). USB connect/disconnect should work correctly, wifi I *hope* works now. In addition I added support for automatic brightness and cleaned up some stuff.

    And lol at the tags. Who wrote that? :D

    I am a CM9 porter for Galaxy SL. I have come across issues with audio in Galaxy SL also, which I have overcome by coding an Audio wrapper. If you need any help with fixing audio on S+, count me in.
