[Q] Using Amazon Kindle .bin update file to flash using fastboot?

Hello guys!
Is it possible to get recovery, boot, and system from the Amazon update file (.bin) and convert them into flashable .imgs? Was wondering on getting a clean stock OS from it. Answers are appreciated. Thanks!
The ".bin" is actually a zip file that is installed via recovery.

So basically just renaming the .bin to .zip and flashing via TWRP recovery will work, right?

Try flashing boot.img from any lollipop image rom
(Either @pabx or @Thomas Boot.img file is recommended)
Hope that works.

install recovery on 5.1.1

Hi guys is there any way to install recovery on z1 5.1.1 on stock without root ?
without root is impossible
yes of course, you must use prf creator and put the relevant supersu and recovery zip files in the respective folders. finally, it will create a flashable.zip file, which you will use with flastool software

Hes using 5.1.1 without root . That means he does not have recovery. How he will be able to flash the flashable Zip from Prf creator when he does not have recovery. So please, understand what hes asking first before answering.
Anyways the answer is NO, You n3ed to downgrade to 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 and root then flash DualRecovery. And look for prerooted 5.1.1 firmwares (flashable zip) then flash to your recovery.

Question STOCK RECOVERY

I download the stock fastboot rom in hope to find the stock recovery.img. But there is no recovery.img name on it. Wonder whats the image name for the stock recovery. Or any of you guys can upload the stock recovery ?? Thank you so much!
If you're trying to return a 10s to stock you don't need an .img file you either need the .tgz fastboot file or the recovery file .zip, using the xiaomi tool. Both versions are available on the official Xiaomi mi site. All the info you need is here:

the recovery is inside the boot.img, so you'll need to reflash the boot image

I am already on stock and i also downloaded the .tgz file. I just want to extract the recovery.img from the downloaded .tgz file but no recovery.img named on it . I want to revert from twrp to stock recovery without losing any data.

Question Magisk ROOT MIUI 14

I would like to know if someone has managed to root with magisk from CMD without twrp?
You can root with magisk on any miui 14 without using twrp.Just get the boot image from the rom,install magisk apk and patch the boot.img, reboot to fastboot mode ,open cmd and write "fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img" just replace boot.img with the name of your generated magisk boot. The boot image is located in different location according to the rom you are using .Normal miui recovery rom contain file that called payload.bin.You need to download this tool https://github.com/tobyxdd/android-ota-payload-extractor. Follow the instructions in the link and you will get the boot.img .If you using miui.eu rom ,you just need to extract the zip and you will see the boot.img. Also if you want to use Miui 14 global or EEA, you can use the fastboot rom that I created and the zip file contain the boot.img .You can get download link on this thread link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fastboot-version-of-miui-14-eea-global-and-older-miui-13.4381953/ .

What did you do? I wrote several options.
Hey Guys!!!
4 Android 13 we not use Magisk!!! We use Lygisk its a Version direct 4 Android 13 and works great!!!
you can choose witch File you would Patch Boot.img/Recovery.img!! So you can Boot with boot.img normaly into Rooted System!!! And when you Patch the Recovery.img and Flash this, you must start with the Button-Combo that starts Recovery-Mode, so its start the Rooted System, when you start it normaly not over Recovery-Mode the System is Not Rooted!!! Thats the Difference between the 2 Methods,and a Patched Recovery dont set you in Bootloop!!!
Lygisk APK ZIP

And for context, im using Eu weekly rom, not stable and twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.2_A13-venus-skkk.img for recovery. The recovery im using in eu rom forum method for installation.

I guess i should post how I'm doing with the root situation. I guess i miss the part that you need to format the rom after installing new rom. And then do flash the boot.img steps. Now magisk is installed and no bootloop.
I on the other hand do format and flash rom. And continue the boot.img process. I guess that's why it doesn't work.
I'm in the process on restoring my data.

ok a Tip to you!!! when you only Backup Data Partition you can restore it and all Contacts,SMS,Accounts,Apps are availibile again on new ROM!!!
Why you dont use the Magisk.zip and flash it via TWRP after Flash ROM!!! you can rename Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and flash it!! than you dont need other steps to Root!!! when it dosnt work use the recovery.img to Patch it and try this Method for Rooting, but dont forgett when ya do so you need to try the Buttons-Combo to start in Recovery to boot the System in Root and you have no Recovery-Mode at this Method!!! Also to use Recovery again you must Flash it again via Fastboot!!
And in TWRP use the WIPE Option to make a Factory Reset or WIPE a Single Partition, after some Flashing CROMS its needed to be WIPE the Data Partition!!!
