Public bug reported: When asking abootimg to process a stock *signed* boot.img (named boot_signed.img) found on some HTC devices, perhaps also Motorola (not sure), the program reports: "# ./abootimg -u files/boot.img -k newboot.img files/boot.img: no Android Magic Value files/boot.img: not a valid Android Boot Image."
HTC adds a 256 byte encryption/sign/key to the front of the boot_signed.img file loaded stock on their newer devices. Would it be possible to have this binary updated to be able to handle the boot_signed.img files? Essentially it would need to ignore the first 256 bytes. Dsixda Kitchen is the only desktop product which seems to be able to currently handle these boot_signed.img files.
