I am NOT running windows vista or 7 so I am not sure if that has anyhting to do with this, any idea's.
thanks for the help
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.

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
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
Can anyone give me a walkthrough on how to install readers hub on a US Sprint Tab? I just got the Tab and I have searched and searched the forums, but I cannot find a walkthrough, or a guide and I don't want to brick or mess up my tab. Here's what I have done so far;
1. I have downloaded the readers hub file and have extracted it. I tried to download the zinio file, but for some reason it wouldn't fully download saying the file is not supported or something of the sort. It was in .rar.
2. I installed Root explorer, apk installer, and Andro Zip.
3. I tried copying the extracted file to the system/apps folder, but it wont let me. Either the entire folder, or the apk files one by one. Can someone please tell me how to do this? I really want this app and I have been trying to find a guide for a couple of days now. Thanks.
Every time I get a new NAND build and try to unzipping it, it says that its an "Unknown compression method" I need some help! Thank you!
Use 7zip. Keep in mind you don't have to extract roms meant for cwm!
Ok the NAND I'm trying to unzip is MDJ's CyanogenMod 2.6 A2SD+ and it wont work. But when I use the 2.5 version the unzip works fine.
Again: use 7zip. If that still doesn't work, download the rom again because it's probably corrupt.
I downloaded it 5 times already and still nothing!
Then you probably still aren't using 7zip?
As StephanV said - USE 7zip!!!
There was recently a change to the compression algorithm they use, so all of a sudden you can't open zip files made with 7zip unless you use the most up-to-date version.
so download newest version of 7zip is all i need to do? trying to unzip eclipse....
Redownloaded 7zip.... No luck with eclipse.... Wth am I doing wrong here?

It's pieced into 3 parts, so use programs like Winzip or 7-zip and extract as normal.
