Boot.img extract?

[galaxys3lover]

i want to extract a boot.img but everytime i try it doesnt get the ramdisk folder out.. is there a boot.img in which i can easily extract the zimage and ramdisk folder just using dsxdia's kitchen?



i cant seem to extract the zimage and ramdisk folder from any kernel?..

Just use android kernel kitchen by Championswimmer. It is truly amazing and does the job very well.

Oh no no. You are going the Samsung way I guess. In all Sony phones, we dont have a recovery partition. That means that we can't flash kernels from CWM. The only way is fastboot. So no way to include kernel in your rom zip file. Sorry. At the most you can only recommend users to use a particular kernel.

OHHHH!!... but in the tutorial by nero young on how to build a custom rom .. he has a sk17i and he uses his own custom kernel when he builds the rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26283930

so if i cant use a custom kernel .. how do i extract the kernel.sin into the rom?

Basically you just can't flash kernel with the phone.
Usual practive in our phones is to include th boot.img in the rom file and ask it to be extracted and flashed via fastboot through pc.
Hope it helps
Don't know about the tuto

You don't have to worry about the kernel when building a rom on stock rom. Just work on the system and you should have a proper working rom.

Yes. Kitchen requires a kernel for the working folder. Btw why do you need kitchen? If you need any help for developing your rom, just pm me.

Hi,

You can use the attached META-INF folder. It has only the basic stuff like basic symlinks and permissions required for the rom to work properly. Just check the comments in the updater-script to know where to add your tweaks.
Good luck developing
