[Q] extract the app from backup img files

How to extract the app from backup img files created by XRecovery?
I would need the original time counter from SE and wonder how to get it.
First u must have Linux man
Then u must download something called unyaffs (9kbs)
Move the file to the bin folder
Open terminal and go to the directory of the .Img file
Type sudo unyaffs file.img
There u go u got the image extracted. To remake the image download makeyaffs n do the same or just copy the apks u need n extract them
Good luck

El30 Kexec

Anyone have have a copy of the decompressed sd bootable el30, I am not sure how to decompress a .tar, and also not sure I could do it at work?
Thanks
I don't think you are supposed to decompress the .tar, you can just flash the .tar straight into ODIN
I am referring to http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html You can book el30 from your sdcard, no need to do a restore and stuff like that, it has a tar.bz file, I am not sure what to do with
You could open the tar with winrar or something similar and extract it, but I'm not sure if it would hinder it in anyway.
use winrar or 7zip to open the .tar.bz file (it's similar to a .zip file)
extract it to your pc (desktop is fine)
copy the "multiboot" directory from your desktop (or wherever you put it) to the ROOT of your SD card
when you want to boot into it, go into recovery and flash multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip
when done, just reboot normally and you will be back into your normal os
Its going to be a big file idk if you want to download that or wait for an upload

Firstly you have to install update.zip extract it from the rar/zip you have download and copy that file in the root of your sd card.
Also check if you have download the file properly and there are no spaces in between the name of the file.
And lastly try using a 2+ recovery.

[Q] JellyBean ZIP Packages (aka unzip: zip flags 1 and 8 are not supported)

Hey Guys,
I've been trying to understand why in all the JellyBean ROM that I've encountered so far there is an error message: "unzip: zip flags 1 and 8 are not supported" when I try viewing the archive in Fedora 17, or even in BusyBox, natively on the phone itself.
The ZIPs install correctly from the Recovery.
I've tried extracting it with WinRAR on windows, but after re-packing the archive and installing the newly created ROM ZIP the phone hangs. I didn't change anything at all, only extracted the original ZIP ROM and repacked.
The ROM that I've used: http://tinyw.in/YMJG
If anybody could shed some light on this I'd be really greatful
Try 7zip instead of winRAR as 7zip retains the file structure (you should use 7zip for all Cwm editing imo). I'm able to extract, modify, repackage and flash miuiandroid releases using 7zip and windows 8 (win7 will work too). Let me know how you get on!
Edit: I know you said the zip installs okay but you may want to check the md5 just to be safe

How to convert kdz rom to zip rom

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to convert kdz rom to zip ROM?
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium
Firstly u need to extract KDZ file with LGExtract. It will extract cab file and dz file within. Then u needs to extract boot.img and system.img with DZDecrypt, but to get boot.img u need to use 0.5 version. For system.img use 1.0 version. If u have that 2 files, download dsixda kitchen and follow what screen says

Sry, you meant you can't extract cabinet file? Remove cab file integration in 7zip and it will open in windows explorer.

Yes. I have done so, but I still do not unzip the file. cab. I have tried the following in cmd:
D: \ LG \ lgextract-KDZ F180K20K_00.kdz
after it is completed, I get the file F180K20K_00.cab
Next, I used the command:
D: \ LG \ 7z x (or e) F180K20K_00.cab
and I get the error message: Error: Can not open file as archive
After all, I've tried many versions and 7z LGExtract but they all failed. So what is the reason? Does windows version?
p / s: sorry for my english is very bad.

I've read that thread before. But I can not unzip the file. Cab with 7zip or winrar.
In case 2, used to extract UpTestEX.exe. KDZ ->. dz, I can not unzip it. 2 dz by DZextract and DZDecrypt tool.
The reason is that the OS version or ROM version?
Sorry, I just recently see that you're trying to extract F180 (Optimus G)'s firmware. These methods are only for first generation of L series (L3, L5, L7). It certainly won't work on newer phones. (Yes, although the format is still kdz, the extracting method will differ between devices).

No. You don't use anyone ROM in computer. You only can mod, cook it. Demo just on the phone. The dev-app can use Android Studio/eclipse.
