Not sure what the purpose of your message is.

Are you asking if U-Boot is able to parse android's img forat, as your
message's subject implies? But in the body you seem to know it does
not.

Are you asking for someone to provide a patch? There is no indication
of such a request in your message, and besides, I don't think this
U-Boot tehcnical list would be the place to make such requests for
volunteer work.

Are you considering whether this change is valuable or not, in order to
determine if you should submit a patch? If so, the I suggest that you
don't ask questions first, since anyway you'll have to post the patch
eventually, so just post it directly, and list any explanations,
questions, etc below the '---' line.
