In this guide ill explain how you can create twrp flashable updates from full firmware.
Requirements
Root
TWRP
Android Image Kitchen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redlee90.imagekitchenforandroid
6GB free space
META-INF
download official firmware from UMIDIGI extract boot and system.img
Open android kitchen and select unpack and locate systam.img
This will convert it to a raw image which we need in order to flash it properly using twrp.
Once done, delete original system.img addrename the system.img.raw to system.img
Now add boot and system.img to the zip and you're done.
Note that this will not update any other partitions except system and boot. If u need to update modem do it with flash tool

Thanks just seen this ..appreciated indeed
Also this can be done on windows and Linux. You'll need simg2img to convert to raw there's probably some more tools that does this but if u don't have a computer near u, this tutorial is good for you.
It's almost same steps on the computer though

Ive done this fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img,fastboot flash recovery recovery.img,fastboot flash boot boot.img and hung up on this one fastboot flash system system.img. Do I extract system.img this out of UL-Z008-WW-2.19.40.23-user.zip in order to find it. Can I just grab Z008_2.13.40.11_preroot_system.zip and ad system.img in with my files?
If that is the zip file from asus as it appears it is you don't have a system .img file and unless you know how to pack an image file you have nothing to flash, search how to root ZenFone 2 change CN to WW flash tutorial and download the .43 Z008 file, follow the instructions there to get the song's you need to flash

I've done all that now all img's and firmware together in adb. Do I just flash now or sideload? I have no way to reboot except stock recovery as I can only fastboot and stock recovery. Should I just sideload the firmware easier?
I grabbed 2.15.40.13 both recovery and firmware and have boot,recovery, and droid boot img's extracted in adb along with the firmware. Is this correct? I know it's earlier firmware I don't mind system updating to get to the latest I just want my phone working.
Just flash the img's like you did before including the system img should fix everything and you will be up to date

What's funny is after I did the three images yesterday without the system IMG Cyanogen came up but it was from yesterday when I had clockwork and flashed without root and bootlooped. Do i extract system out of firmware in order to get system I can't seem to find just system IMG like I did the others in media fire
Isn't there just a system IMG file I can download?
This is what I don't get? Extract the system.img file from zip files like .zip, .z01, .z02, etc. by using unzip software like winzip or 1-zip. To do so, right click on the .zip file and select extract here option or right click on .z01 file, and select any extract here option. You should get system.img file.
As an example can't I just sideload and if this the way?adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00G-WW-2.20.40.11-user.zip? But for zenfone 2
Can't figure out flash recovery to stick? I'm back on my phone ty
Hi everyone!
I need to edit an APK in stock ROM (system.img) of my device. I have unpacked system.img and repacked with some programs on Windows. But When I unpack and repack the system.img file and change it with original system.img file (even though I didn't change any APK or anything), I can flash it through fastboot or port 9008 successfully. BUT When I try to start my phone, It stuck on MI Logo screen.
So There is no problem with flash any rom. But I want to unpack rom and edit an APK then repack it. This is my issue. How can I do it? I think there is a problem on unpack/repack step. I'll be glad if anyone can help me about it.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I can't flash a recovery rom because of I can't run phone.
I need a boot.img necessarily from 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM GLOBAL.
Nowhere is this version of ROM in FastBoot format to download.
I need extract boot.img to magisk root.
I have an installed version of 12.5.6.0.
But I mistake I flash boot.img from version 12.5.3.0. , and now I have a broken system, it's not sound,wi-fi, etc.
Thanks very much
Hi. I used the boot.img from the 12.5.6 "Stable Beta" released a few weeks ago. I read somehere, here, that it is the same built as the one released over OTA a couple of days ago. And so far it's working fine. I have wifi and sound.
It is a recovery file, but you can unzip it and then use a payload dumper tool to extract the boot.img.
The recovery: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/
And this tool on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases/tag/1.0.0

If I may go off-topic for a question, recovery files are to be flashed in recovery? fastboot files in fastboot mode? hope you can help enlighten me.
I dont need recovery type rom , there is not after unzip the boot. img.
I need fastboot type rom, there is boot. img after unzip.
Thanks
I must flash boot.img over magisk, not twrp!
Please read my previous post again.
You can get a boot.img from the recovery file!

Thanks very much I'll try it.
So far I have tried to extract boot.img from China V12.5.6.0.RKHCNXM Fastboot TYPE, I flashed it via magisk and everything works fine.
If everything works OK, then it's fine
When the official 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM is published, you can still patch and flash its boot.img again, in order to be sure you have the right one. I will do it.
Or just wait for the Android 12 update.

To complete this thread, here is how I extracted the boot.img from the recovery file:
- Download the recovery file from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/
- Unzip it, you will find a payload.bin file inside.
- Download this command line tool for your platform, I used it on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases
- Unpack it and put the binary inside the folder of the unpacked recovery, next to the payload.bin file
- Run the command : ./payload-dumper-go payload.bin
- Let it do its thing and you will find a series of .img files, one will be boot.img

Hey guys can someone please upload the boot.img from the FW V13.0.5.0.SKOEUXM?
I did a big mistake and thought that android 12 can boot in twrp (recovery). Flashed a wrong boot.img and cant get my phone working now. Only Fastboot is working - the normal Recovery didnt boot so i cant even install the Update through the orignal system recovery.
Cause theres only a Recovery zip of it online i cant use the MiFlash Tool, since a downgrade to Android 11 isnt possible
thanks a lot!
You can download the OTA zip file from Xiaomi firmware updater or by using the app MiuiDownloader from Playstore
Unzip, you will find payload.bin inside - use the PC tool (there is a thread on XDA) Payload_Dumper to dump boot.img and other images
Anyway, here is the link to the boot-stock-lisa_EEA_V13.0.5.0.SKOEUXM_12.0.img
I had extracted and renamed (name does not matter):
File on MEGA
mega.nz
oh god! thank you very much!
will test it in few minutes
edit: It worked instantly! you made my day
Can someone please upload the boot.img from V13.0.2.0(SKOMIXM) to root?
Hello everyone,
I wasn't able to find it here and I didn't want to wait I am sharing here the Patched boot.img for the last OOS13 update. (F.15)

Open a terminal prompt in the directory where the boot.img is located
type in the cmd
fastboot flash boot IN2023_11_F15-Patched.img

Hi, I'm looking for the patched boot.img for IN2025_F15
Is there a thread how to extract and patch (complete) ? Thanks
@karib97 you can find a good guide here
[GUIDE]How to extract img(boot.img, etc...) from payload.bin using payload-dumper-go.
For 10R only: I have uploaded a few of the extracted boot.img, before extracting if you want you can look for the required boot.img here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kyn2p5mhde7nn/boot.img 1. Download and extract payload-dumper-go. 2...

First remember to download on your pc the update of your phone and the payload dumper. It seems difficult but it is not!
i am currently on OS 11.0.11.11.IN11.AA. Is it safe to update to this F.15 version as you described?

No, you have to update to OS 13 (without incremental) and root it. This is the latestest version for IN on OS 13 for incremental only.
