Since I had some free time finally, I updated my Kitchen to make it work with boot and recovery images from newer versions of android up to header 4 (android 13). Apart from that it will work like before, with qualcom, kirin and mtk images (tested by me). I don't know about other chips (rockchip, spreadtrum etc). I don't have any device to work on for testing other chipsets. For boot images with header version 3 and 4 and vendor boot images 3 and 4, the kitchen is still untested since I don't have such a device. Theoretically it unpacks and repacks those images but I don't know if they work in phones. Also, all images lose the AVB signature during unpack and repack, and you must use them with disabled vbmeta check, or you can sign them back with avbtool (option offered in kitchen).
Bumped to version 3.2 after rewriting the kitchen script and updated all executables. Sadly this version won't work in older windows (xp) because of the python modules wich are compiled with python 3.8 and that is only for windows 7 and up, and also because of cygwin version used which doesn't support older windows. For those who need it in Windows XP I updated the old version to 2.8.1, and they can use that, but it will unpack and repack only up to header version 3 boot and vendor boot or recovery images. Linux versions work without restrictions, ad I kept the old variants too just for consistency.
I need to say it: I made this tool working many hours, and I am posting it for free, without receiving anything from all those who are using it. All I am asking is just to post links to my webpage instead of uploading it on other websites. As you can see I don't have advertising or other ways to monetize this. I'm paying for my hosting and other services with my own money from my day to day job, and I don't like to see my work posted on other websites where they use monetizing systems. I have also a gihub account and If I wanted to be posted there I could've done it myself.
