What is Android Boot Image?

Boot image plays an important role for any Android devices. Boot image of an Android ROM is part of a vendor-proprietary image responsible for bringing up the kernel on a device. Shortly, it helps the device boot.

The Android boot image (boot.img) file contains the kernel and ramdisk, critical files necessary to load the device before the filesystem can be mounted. Boot image holds all the essential files that are automatically loaded onto the root of filesystem every time your phone boots (source 1, source 2).

The stock boot image is a boot.img file that comes with the official Android ROM for your phone. On the other hand, the patched boot.img file is the modified version that contains altered binaries for a certain purpose.

Why Do You Need A Patched Boot Image?

In most cases, users employ a patched boot image to gain root access.

You may need a patched boot image to avoid bootloader checking of some variables. Hence, you can do whatever purpose you aim it for, for instance, rooting.

Patched boot image acts as a pre-rooted package. Booting your phone using patched boot image allows you to install Magisk (or the discontinued SuperSU) without having to flash TWRP recovery.

How to Flash A Boot Image?

Flashing either the stock or the patched boot image is basically easy. The only requirements are an unlocked bootloader and ADB Drivers installed.

Once everything is ready, simply issue the magic command below in the ADB-Fastboot interface (using command prompt Window):

fastboot flash boot_partition bootimage.img

Replace the boot_partition with the partition you wish it to become active. Also, replace the “bootimage.img” with the boot image file name.

The example below will flash a patched boot image to partition b:

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

While example below will flash the stock boot image to partition a:

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

How to find out the currently active partition? Use the simple command below:

fastboot getvar current-slot

That’s all.
