No.3 MKBoot.img tools [unpack, repack, ramdisk]

TYPE-Boot
OS-Windows/Linux/Android
This is  the Popular tool that used by developers and porters these days and much stable, easy to use also. 
This include that files
=>boot_info - prints information about the boot.img passed to it, including the base address and ramdisk address. This tool prints out everything needed to repack the boot.img correctly.
=>split_boot - More commonly known as split_bootimg.pl, this rips apart the boot.img to extract the ramdisk and zImage. It has been modified by me to split the boot.img into a separate folder (specified by the file name of the boot.img passed to it) and to extract the ramdisk into a sub-folder as well (extracts the cpio from the gz and then extracts the actual files from the cpio archive)
=.unpack_ramdisk - unpacks the given ramdisk file.

This is a tool for those who want to start learning how to make custom ROMs, or who just want to save some time with their ROM customization.The kitchen merely presents a user-friendly interface to hide all the rough details.
