Why does the boot.img have to be present in the .zip file? I take the boot.img out of the zip file and
fastboot flash boot boot.img

it anyway, so why is it in the zip file?
Is the boot.img by the way the kernel?

Boot.img is inside zip because same source build sripts are used for devices with s-off. So...on s-off devices U only have to flash rom.zip and it's installing boot.img also.

And because my One X has s-on that means I have to install the contents of the zip first and then flash because of the s-on security preventing installation from within the zip file?

That's right...as long as your bootloader is saying s-on u've to flash boot.img via fastboot.

So I could basically just make a zip file with the manifest and system folder and exclude the boot.img from there?

You cant 'just make' a zip file.. you would have to repack and sign the zip again. Better would be that the boot.img stays where it is.

Based on our conversation I have come to this conclusion.
S-OFF: You need not use fastboot to flash a boot.img. When you install a ROM from a zip file it will automatically take the boot.img and put it in the right place.
S-ON: You need to use fastboot to flash a boot.img. When you install a ROM from a zip it will not install the boot.img because it is protected by the system (read-only or something) and you then need to implement one more step, the
fasboot flash boot boot.img

code. What I wanted to confirm is if I have an S-ON phone I need not have the boot.img in the zip file? I can just flash it after I have installed the manifest/system folder from the zip file?

But is it possible on an S-ON phone to skip the boot.img in the zip file and only go with the manifest and system folder?
Yes, you could delete the boot.img from the zip file if you really wanted. It won't make any difference as it isn't being written anyway (you might also want to modify the updater script so it's not referencing something you've removed).

It's a flashable zip, boot into recovery, perform a wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash this
If you go into bootloop perform a wipe again after install :good:
Hi,
I just unrooted my phone. Now it says i need to flash stock boot.img to complete unrooting. But i have no clue what it is and where to find it.
Anyone?
1. Download your firmware on a desktop.
2. Extract AP.
3. Using 7 ZIP modded extract "boot.img.lz4" from AP.
4. Open "boot.img.lz4" with the same app and extract "boot.img". Then flash it into TWRP.

thx buddy, but link doesnt work
Hi, I flashed TWRP to be able to install magisk on my friend's Honor 7x (BND-L21 C432) and now that magisk is flashed and configured I want to go back to the stock recovery. I've downloaded the update.zip with the Firmware Finder app, and I've extracted the recovery_ramdisk.img from the UPDATE.APP file.
But once flashed (with fastboot) I can't access it, it gives me ERROR MODE, like if the img was invalid.
Any help?
Thanks!
Did you download and flashed the correct build file? Which recovery you flashed?

I was using correct version, but I wasn't using HuaweiUpdateExtractor. After using it to get the img it worked well.
Thanks!

this install zip, should restore the recovery-from-boot.p file, the file that causes stock recovery to be replaced. I have not confirmed on this device but it is a generic solution that should work.

Thanks anyway, I was able to *correctly* extract the img file
What does that file exactly? Is there a backup of the recovery on the phone?? I assuming we're talking about normal recovery, not the second eRecovery thing, right?

Stock Android has a feature to make a recovery image from the boot.img. By checking the contents of the recovery partition and comparing a checksum. When the sum does not match, the file "recovery_from_boot.p" takes over and builds it's own recovery image.
When you install twrp and "swipe to allow system modification" that file gets renamed to end with ".bak"
This zip file verifies the recovery script is on the phone e, and if it is, it will remove the .bak extension . That makes the system .restore (make) stock recovery on the next boot up
Thanks for the info!
Hey everyone, I'm trying to root my Xiaomi Mi a2 lite without twrp since, if i understand correctly, it needs the data partition to be formatted as it cant decrypt it, and I don't really need it anyway. I wanted to use Magisk manager to patch a boot image and flash it to get root, but the app explicitly asks for .img files. I've been looking everywhere and I can only find zip archives or .tgz files of my firmware. I'd appreciate any help, and btw my build number is 11.0.21.0

A TGZ file is a TAR Archive file that has been compressed using Gnu Zip (gzip).
You can uncompress tgz files using 7-zip:

oooh thank you so much, feeling pretty stupid rn
Obviously, first you need unlocked bootloader, or your device will get bricked.
1. Download the full stock rom.
2. Extract these two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. COMPRESS those two files to TAR. (Attention: TAR and NOT tgz.)
4. Open the magisk app and click on "install to file".
5. Select the COMPRESSED TAR file and wait until it finish.
6. Open the folder "Downloads" and uncompress the file magisk_patched.tar to get the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img.
7. Flash the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img. (You need to flash patched vbmeta because vbmeta verifies if any partition was changed.)
Done, you are rooted.
Warning: magisk app will ignore if you try to patch ONLY the vbmeta.img, you need to patch vbmeta.img together boot.img compressed in only one file.

Actually i've looked around and everyone only shares the boot file, maybe flashing vbmeta is unnecessary for this device?
Maybe.
