Fastboot boot image : dtb not found

[hkfriends]

HI there

I am having a problem to re-pack my boot image to boot in my new Pantech A880S....

It is working fine if I just fastboot boot <original image>

but once I extract the ZImage and Ramdisk and then re-pack it (eventhough I didn't change anything)
and when I re-try fastboot boot <re-packed image> it comes up with error: dtb not found

I tried this same issue either on linux abootimg to re-pack image or using Win32 port exe to re-pack it
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45157543&postcount=144


Is there anyone know why? I never seen this before on other devices with such error..

anyone know about kernel and dtb , how to extract them and pack them correctly?



Splitting image to "/split_img/" . . .

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 maxcpus=2 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 loglevel=0
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 00000000
BOARD_PAGE_SIZE 2048
BOARD_RAMDISK_ADDR 02000000

Unpacking ramdisk to "/ramdisk/" . . .

Compression used: gzip
4704 blocks

Done!


Everything looks ok, but when I using fastboot to boot it (my device has been unloacked bootloader)



>fastboot boot image-new.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.301s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.316s




Edit:
I tried to looking other similar kernel source from LG G2 (MSM8974)

/arch/arm/mach-msm/akefile.boot

I seems LG also using DTB in its kernel... so I am wondering current abootimg can handle it or not?

Great work! I'm going to see if I can adapt this back into unpackbootimg. :good:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_core/tree/cm-10.2/mkbootimg

Edit: Easier than I thought just using what was already in unpackbootimg.c and bootimg.h

Soon to be added to my Android Image Kitchen: http://v.ht/AIK-

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to boot the HTD Desire 510 recovery CWM on my new Wiko Ridge 4G.
I also got the DTB issue, but I'm not sure on how to fix it.

Can anyone throw me some tips on this?

I've chosen the Desire CWM because it have the same chipset.

Cheers

Hi Benjamin,
I am using Lenovo a6000 plus and getting the same error while I try to fastboot using command <fastboot boot "c:\Users\rakesh\lenovo-recovery-file\recovery.img">
What should I do?
I am not even able to enter recovery mode. My mobile got switched off during android upgradation. I think I lost some system file.
