One may use abootimg (or, other/sbi.py) to manipulate the image.
Note, the proper way to unpack the initrd part would be like this one:
```
mkdir initrd && cd initrd && gzip -dc ../initrd.img | cpio -ivd
```
Note, the proper way to assemble the initrd part back would be like this one:
```
cd initrd && find . | cpio -o --format='newc' | gzip > ../myinitrd.img
```

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
Merely Windows™ stuff:
- tools/AdbWinApi.dll
- tools/AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- tools/adb.exe
- tools/emmcdl.exe
- backup/ (it's just a directory to be created on Windows™ only)

How To

Anyway, start with clone and open.

If you live in Microsoft® Windows™, then
1. Download all the files maintaining layout (download by uv export blob.zip blob.zip or this single blob and unpack it)
2. Run PFT_english.bat.
If you live in another OS, then
1. Build and install the emmcdl.
2. Install the adb.
3. Download
  maintaining layout
4. Run ./pft.sh.

One may want to disassemble the boot image. The stright way would be apt install abootimg, but other/sbi.py is always here.
