This isn't working for me on my htc evo 4g lte. I am unpacking the stock boot.img and then repacking it with NO changes and get bootloops.

 

[stef67000]

your image png should not exceed 20KB and your logo.rle should not exceed 60kb Otherwise you will almost always bootloop

I didn't change any pngs, logos, or anything. I simply unpacked, repacked, and flashed.

Check on the way your kernel should be build.. Ours use as base 0x20 but yours may change..

Is there a way to check without the source? Source for our kernel isn't released yet.

I've tried to unpack the last boot.img from cm9 RC2 to get the new cwm 6.x but I have an issue

$ ./extractboot boot.img

You need to download the cpio package through cygic in order to have it fixed..

Sent from my SGS3... Yes I have it!!!!

Hello,I'm having the same error with CM9/10 ICS/JellyBean kernel boot.img,there are chances it comes from the kernel itself as it appears to be or should we better look into our configuration?

 

[OmenHTX]

helo, i repacket doomlord kernel v22 and when im trying to flash it i got this error :

FAILED (remote: Wrong range:0x10008000-0x103202d7. Ok:0x00200000 - 0x03dfff)

It's somethink about size of kernel and "fake size maker" file, but i dont know how to fix it.

 

[kagedws6]

So I pulled a working one apart and replaced the kernel with the compiled one.

$ cd /boot

20472098@WOOCCD895794 /boot
$ ./extractboot boot.img

$ ./packboot
Using base address 0x40200000
Using command line 'console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom loglevel=0'

No errors

I then put it back together and I'm getting the boot.img is like half the original size (even tho the kernel files were pretty close to almost deadon the same size) and when I try to send to boot I get this

>fastboot boot boot_new.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [  1.168s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: incomplete bootimage)

This is for a Pantech Burst (p9070) if that helps at all
Original boot.img
New repacked boot.img
