[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

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.

Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question.
I cannot run the tool. Here is what I do:
Using PC window 7 to download the zip file.
Unzip it.
Have an exe file but get an error message when run it. (Window can not find the path ...)​
Can you please explain how to use this decrypt tool ? or tell me what kind of error I did ?
Thanks a lot for your help,

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?

How to view & unpack system.img.ext4?

So I was trying to get the media folder from the Galaxy s4 black.
Downloaded the firmware, extracted it until system.img.ext4.
Now how do I open this?
Tried with ext2explore - it did nothing when I chose the file
Tried with diskinternals - raw disk image - File system not supported
Anybody?

Have you tried this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294909
I use it all the time

I also cannot open the system.img.ext4 file with ext4 unpacker. ( it crashes after working for 15 minutes), is there another solution?

Just rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
I was having the same problem and it worked once I did this.

Not working

I've done this numerous times, tried renaming it and all, I swear I did this the exact same way a few weeks ago and it worked no problem. Ext2Explorer doesn't do anything and the ext4 Unpacker freezes and always makes me force close it now. I'm using Windows 8.1 but I also tried this by mounting in Linux and I get an error as well, "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0," etc... So I'm not sure what happened I've downloaded the firmware from 2 different sources and from one of the sources I downloaded it from 4 different mirrors totaling 5 different downloads so there is no way my files are corrupt it won't work with ANY of them. I'm honestly so confused I don't even know where to look anymore so here I am posting along with the last few people that seem to share my pain. Hopefully someone can help us.
This is the firmware I'm using download and try it out for me pretty please let me know if your system has any issues?

Open Galaxy S4 system.img.ext4
This is my tested method on SHV-E330L, a korean variant of Galaxy S4.
1) Unpack with sgstoex4.
2) Open unpacked file with ext2explore.
No other method works like ext4_unpacker etc., if it helps please hit thanks

Thanks!

Open system.img.ext4 in windows easily with 2 tools!
First download this 2 tools
1. linux reader
2.jar file
http://www.diskinternals.com/download/ (linux reader)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645192&d=1309768531
DOne 50 %:good:
Step 1)
Download Diskinternals Linux reader and open it up.
Step 2)
Download sgs2ext4.jar and open it up.
Step 3)
Take you system.img and move it into the sgs2ext4.jar application and wait until it is done.
Step 4)
Now you should get a system.img.ext4 file or something like that just make sure ext4/ext is in the name
Step 5)
Now in Diskinternals click on Drives –> mount image, now a window will pop-up, leave the box on RAW disk image and click next, now search for the system.img ext4 file and choose it.
Step 6)
Now you see a new drive which looks like this: Linux EXT Volume 1 (Number can be different) Open the drive and click on commands and then select all.
Step 7)
Now do Ctrl+S to save the files where you want them, i suggest you to make a folder on you desktop called system and save it there.
Good Luck !:laugh:

HTC Desire 820s

Is that phone totally abandoned by htc ? i just baught it 2 days ago
if saw i would replace it with other phone
can any one just answer it simply
thats what i gues : no software , kernel source downloads available for this device . i even tried to contact htc about lp update and the Simply don't know

I think the lollipop firmware is here
http://ir-file.com/portal/index.php?dir=Firmware/HTC/HTC_Android/A50ML_DTUL/
We shouldn't expect any lollipop firmware unless maybe we flash it.
My phone had lollipop out of the box but I flashed kitkat so that I could root it and modify it, but I found it to be too boring, I'm looking to revert to lollipop

You try and tell me if it worked

Ok

So I downloaded the zip file sized about 1.8gb.
On extracting the zip file, I only get three files:
Android - info. txt - 92B
Userdata.img - 136034KB
Cache.img - 6972KB
I don't know where the other files have disappeared to

Yes I can delete them. I tried contacting them, they said it's an encrypted zip file couldn't be extracted. Don't know how it's going to be flashed

Here

Extracted

can you provide me the download link directly , i don't have to make an account ,,,,, whatever it is i will start porting sense 7 form desire820 lolipop , i will see if i can
but i need to make sure that htc has forgot about us

Deleted

So when I repaired the zip file with winrar, I was able to recover these files.
Scatter file shows HTC_A50ML which is the D820ys, it comes with Lollipop out of the box.
This zip file is encrypted, only if one could find a password to crack it, or if someone has the knowhow to extract this kind of files

d820ts
is this update available for d820ts???

Trying to install Wear 2.0 developer preview 3 on Huawei Watch

I'm trying to install Wear 2.0 Developer Preview 3 on Huawei Watch. I'm currently using Developer Preview 2, so I thought I'd be familiar with the flashing process.
Anyhow, all the tutorials I managed to find include a part with running a flash-all.bat, which for some reason isn't included in the preview image package I downloaded from https://developer.android.com/wear/...ampaign=android_discussion_wearpreview_092916 .
Where can I get the flash-all.bat?
Edit: Umm, I decided not to go with DP3 at least for now. I thought I'd return to the official stock firmware, but how do I perform the flashing? Do I manually have to edit the file names in flash-all.bat to match the file name of the stock rom's name? Does it matter that the stock rom came as a .tgz even though the files mentioned in the flash-all.bat are .img and .zip? Damn this is confusing, and googling isn't helping at all...

This page is what I'm using as a guide. Worked fine though did take a bit to get the flash-all.bat to run. All files are included in the downloads. Top download is preview image. Bottom is to go back to stock.
https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

The stock download from that page does not contain a flash-all.bat.

I used stock download for flashing and ewerything goes just fine. Just extract all packages in same folder. But if you are interested use this link http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Huawei Watch/Firmware. There is all revisions.

The downloadable files there are .tgz and do not include any .bats or .zips (I tried opening with 7-Zip).

Personally, I would be grateful if someone can provide me with the set of documents already downloaded and extracted; and, if I am not asking too much, to please give me a dumbman's procedure to get the Wear 2 software to work on my watch.
Having to now wait until early 2017 will surely drive me crazy!
