Always verify the repacked image’s integrity before flashing. Use: Unpack Repack Tool V2 0
fastboot flash boot modified_boot.img fastboot reboot Even with the Unpack Repack Tool V2 0 , you may encounter issues: 1. "Unsupported boot header version 4" Fix: Version 2.0 does not support header v4 (Android 14+). You need a fork or a manual repack using mkbootimg from AOSP master. 2. Repacked image won't boot (stuck at logo) Cause: The ramdisk size changed, but the kernel command line has androidboot.ramdisk_size=... fixed. Solution: Edit cmdline.txt before repacking to remove or update that parameter. 3. LZ4 decompression failed Cause: Corrupted ramdisk or missing LZ4 library. Solution: Ensure lz4.exe is in the bin/ folder. Download the official LZ4 binaries if missing. 4. Tool crashes on Windows 11 with "missing MSVCRT.dll" Fix: Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (2015-2022). Beyond Boot Images: System and Vendor Images While the Unpack Repack Tool V2 0 excels with boot images, it also includes helper scripts for system.img files. However, note that modern Android uses super.img (a logical partition containing system, product, vendor). V2.0 does not natively unpack super.img . You must first use lpunpack (from Android Host Tools) to extract the component images, then feed those into V2.0. | Feature | V1
