Why not just use unpackbootimg?

+Tom Marshall ...because one needs to keep learning ;-) I didn't know about unpackbootimg, does it extract the dt? From the name I'd assume it just does the same as split_bootimg.pl ... Anyway, I'll peek into it, thanks for the tip! :-)

+Marcos Marado yes it does extract the DT. At least the CM version does.

Cool. Just tested it, it is more useful than split_bootimg.pl (and it comes on CM! \o/), I guess this will be my go-to tool for this, from now on ;-)
In any case, it will only replace the "split_bootimg" step with an "unpackbootimg" step, all the rest of the walk-thru stays the same.

Thanks for your input!

+Marcos Marado it might also be useful to provide instructions on extracting and repacking the ramdisk. I find that's my biggest use for unpackbootimg. It basically goes like this:

mkdir initrd
(cd initrd; cat ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | gunzip | cpio -id)
... edit your ramdisk ...
(cd initrd; find . | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz)
