Trying to root via unrEVOked..."reflash.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

Trying to root via unrEVOked..."reflash.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
I seem to be the only one to ever have this problem. I followed the unrEVOked instructions - I installed HBOOT drivers and installed modified USB drivers. When I get to the point where I turn the phone back on, plug it in, and open "reflash.exe", the "reflash.exe" file won't open. I get the error message "reflash.exe is not a valid Win32 application." I've tried downloading the unrEVOked package again and again. I've tried extracting the files again and again. I've tried opening the file as an administrator. I also get an error message whenever I extract the files, but they seem to be successfully extracted anyway.

Corrupt download. Clear your cache (on the PC) and download again. The reason why you keep getting the same error even after downloads is because IE/FF is using the locally stored copy of the file instead of redownloading again.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "clear the PC cache", but I had CCleaner clean up a lot of stuff and then redownloaded the unrEVOked package. I extracted the files from the package, and again, it said that reflash.exe (and only reflash.exe) was corrupt, and again, I get the same error message when trying to open reflash.exe.

Enrevoked is an EXE, there is nothing to extract or remove?
Just start the program, it pushes the file to the phone, reboots it, phone finds image, roots itself basically and bobs your uncle, you have root.
It is fully automated, there is nothing to open or extract.

Problem solved. I downloaded the file to a different hard drive. I don't why, but files that I download via my browser frequently get corrupted.

[Q] How to install SMSBackup?

I found this SMSBackup app in the forum but don't how this can be deploy to my Samsung Focus 1.3 as the files extracted are not .xap. Please help, thanks

What's ROM you used on your phone? Make sure your phone was unlocked!
If you used DFT or Mi7 ROM, you can install direct this app by IE (send app over email or upload it to dropbox etc...)

I'm using Interop unlocked Samsung Focus v1.3 currently updated to 7740. I have WP7 Root Tools installed as well. When I unzipped the smsbackup files in my pc, there are folders and files, but I didn't how should I put them onto my phone. thanks

SMSBackup will be installed as the same as WP&RootTools which you had installed. Make sure that you have had the SMSBackup.Xap file and don't unzip this file!
In oder to install .xap file, you can use:
- Tom XAP Installer (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860964)
- Application Deployment (must install window phone sdk)

Thanks for your advice. But when I save the file from the link below, the file is with a zip extension. Shall I change the extension to xap and then deploy? thanks again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21458382&postcount=1

I have seen this link is SMSBackup V0.6-en.xap file. Please download this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=906966&d=1329531637

Thanks so much. I finally changed the extension of the downloaded file from zip to xap and it works, though don't know why the extension is zip in the first place. Thanks again.

same problem
Ya, im having the exam same problem. Everytime i download the .xap files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448197 they are recognized as .zip. Then my deployer obviously wont work. Could you please repost the patch you had up. Its a deadlink now thanks

The decrypter tool has been the same for a long time. The keys haven't changed. $12. And has worked till a couple of weeks ago.
Depends on what you are decrypting. If it's the files we have here in the Dev forum, it works.
If you try it on files elsewhere, it may not work. It probably will not work on A51x or 70x update files. Nobody has tried.
Definately won't work on Asus updates

Absolutely nothing wrong with the decrypter. You have to wait a few minutes depending on PC. Has to decrypt 400mb remember.

Sounds like you're trying to run it from within the zip file itself? Helps to know the full error message.
Try unzipping it to your C:\ drive. Then run it again.
It's a small app, and basically you will get a button to select the file (zips only), then select Start. After a couple minutes, it will write the decrypted file in the same folder as the original (says decrypted at the end of the file name).

Thanks a lot for your quick help.
This is a fault of may anti virus that prevents to run the tool.
Just turn it off and I can run the tool.
Thank you,

Antivirus block download
Hi!
I'm trying to download the tool to decrypt the zip files but my antivirus (a business version of Trend Micro that i can't disable) block the download.
Is it possible to rename or change the extension to avoid this issue?
thank you

no solutions?

Good. I presume, you have downloaded the ROM to PC, right?
So, here is the procedure how to sort out your problem:
1. go to ghisler.com or other web page;
2. Download total commander or another file manager;
3. unpack your ROM file;
4. Look carefully into it.
5. Delete any and all files, one by one.
6. Delete original rar archive.
7. Open notepad (or other word processor) on your PC
8. Write at least 150 times the sentence: "I wil NOT download sevreal gigs without thinking what for I am doing this"
9. got to Google Play search for apk named: Samsung S4 Ringtones
I think it will sort out your current problem, and even furthermore, except of the step 9, the procedure shall sort out most of your future problems as well...
