Choose the correct kernel format for Generic Kernel

Match the stock kernel format

You may see multiple boot image formats: gz, lz4, or raw. This must match your stock boot image’s kernel format.

Example release assets:

ESK-5.10.247-VNL-boot-gz.img
ESK-5.10.247-VNL-boot-lz4.img
ESK-5.10.247-VNL-boot-raw.img

How to check your kernel format

1. Open Termux.
2. Optional: allow storage access.

termux-setup-storage

3. Download the script.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ESK-Project/gki-releases/refs/heads/main/scripts/check_fmt.sh -o check_fmt.sh

4. Make it executable.

chmod +x check_fmt.sh

5. Copy your stock boot image into Termux.
6. Run:

./check_fmt.sh <path_to_stock_boot.img>

Pick the matching file

• gzip -> -boot-gz.img
• lz4 -> -boot-lz4.img
• raw -> -boot-raw.img
