Rom download question - myTouch 3G, Magic General

This may be redundant and borderline stupid but here it goes.
When I use some of the download sites, I get a file with a .zip.jar extension. Is this something I need to extract to get the zip file, or do I simply rename it to a zip file? I've tried the rename thing and cant get the update.zip file to flash. I've tried a couple of browsers and both pc and mac, and still get the .jar on the end initially. Can anyone help?

Usually they should just end in zip. I don't know why they would end in jar. Where are you downloading from?

Well tried it again using firefox and it worked this time. Safari for mac always seems to have that issue. Thanks

NHB extracting problems with 7zip and winrar

im trying to extract the nhb file from the open touch biggie ver 4.0. im on my last step and ive been looking around all day on how to extract that file. i have 7 zip and winrar and ive tried to use both but they would not work (i mean im know doin something right, lol) ive been reading all day because im reluctant to ask on here but i need help. what am i donin wrong. i read the noobs guide, the wiki guide and just bout every guide on here so please if you know can u help me. i just need this last step to finish my first flash
you downloaded the file, right? you should open the zip/rar file with 7zip or winrar. Then, drag/extract the file to your hardspl/uspl folder
yea i did dl it...that must be the step that i am missing dragging it to the hard spl folder. i used winrar to extract the files from the folder. then when the box comes up with the file drag it to the hard spl folder, then click that ruu folder? i think i might have to go back a re-read that last step because ive been so focused on getting that file out that i forgot what to do. thanks in advace for answering me
problem fixed. i was overthing things..after i downloaded the biggie file i extracted the file using 7 zip then i drug the file (nhb) and put it in the rom utility folder and ran it. problem solved this site is great. hopefully whoever else is searching for this problem finds this andit helps

It doesn't work
anything New?
Anything new, would love to be able to open rare files.
I could swear androzip works for extracting .rar. I think I've even used it before, and the description says it does .rar. I can't try right now unfortunately.
I have used androzip to extract rar before and it worked just fine. I think that astro file explorer will open rar's atleast, just don't think it can extract.

Download 7zip. It's free and it will extract loads of different types of compressed files.
Also, you arn't trying to flash an Evo 4g ROM to an Hd2 are you?
Ok I will download the Zip but I am not sure what the difference is.
7zip is a program that compresses and extracts files.

[q] hd games and apk files

How's it going. I got a new game off 4shared and it's in a .bin file. Now i uncompressed the files and rezipped them thinking I could flash them from recovery. Was just hoping that someone could tell me how to make them apk files so I can install the game. I can try and post the files as a zip or bin ...if needed.
Wait you got a warez version of a game? And you are posting here for help?

I wasn't sure if I should have or not...but it was more or so me knowing where I could find out how to at least..take files and make the into a apk file! If I wasnt...How do I delete the thread..so no one gets in trouble.
I had problems with 4shared downloading files as .bin, and mp3's as .mpga.
Downloading these files on pc worked fine, and then you can transfer them to the phone.
Also, you can rename the files and they should work, I didn't try this on the .bin files but on the .mpga files it worked fine.

Its not working because you have a radio.img file, you can only flash .img files with fastboot,
You need to download the zip files I made in my radio thread Here and rename the files in my thread. Read the instructions in the OP.
