Recovery (.ZIP) vs. Fastboot (.TGZ) & Extracting Fastboot Images from payload.bin
How it works
Hide
Recovery ROMs (.zip) can be installed directly via your phone's built-in System Updater (Settings → About Phone → HyperOS Logo → Choose update package). Fastboot ROMs (.tgz) are flashed via PC in Fastboot mode. On modern Virtual A/B Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices, you can also extract all partition .img files (such as init_boot.img or boot.img) directly from any Recovery .zip using payload-dumper-go. Tap CLI/Guide on any ROM card for exact commands.
