Failed to unpack and repack boot.img , please help :(

[Guest Suxsem]

hi all

i taked the boot.img file of LCR 1.6 and i followed this howto: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?titl...ack_Boot_Images

i have tried 2 methods:

1) use unpack-bootimg.pls and repack-bootimg.pl (WITHOUT ANY EDIT), but when i boot my device it freeze at "ACER" logo screen

2) use split-bootimg.zip (notice: in the howto the result of "command line:" is "no_console_suspend="; in my try "console=null"), but when i try to extract boot.img-ramdisk.gz it says "not in gzip format"

how the LCR team does to edit its boot.img?

i'm using xubuntu 10...wait for answers...

thank you!

WOOOOOORK! very thank you! ^^

last question: to create rle image for boot.img...

It is actually very simple. Start with an image you want to use, make sure it is 320x480 with 8bpp color. (In my examples, I'll use splash.png: PNG image data, 320 x 480, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Just make sure you have ImageMagick installed, and the utilities from the source build. (Specifically, rgb2565.)

Lets break it down. the convert turns it from a png (or any supported image format) into a raw 8-bits-per-color no-alpha data file. This file should be 460800 bytes - no more, no less.

Next, rgb2565 converts that file to a raw 565 16bit file (for the framebuffer on the G1.) This file is exactly 307200 bytes long - if its not, you messed up somewhere.

it's true? thank again

I'm trying to unpack the boot.img of the Acer Community ROM. It seems that I can't use the old method to do it... Is there a different script or are the offsets just different?

How did you try it? I mean what is the old method?
