[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

Decompile stock ROM img files

Hey guys,
I want to decompile system.img file but I'm unable to do so.
I tried this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724 but I think this is only for S2.
While using sg2ex4 software, the extraction process displayed 0 bytes transferred so I'm guessing it can't read galaxy Y stock ROM files...
Can you guys tell me which software can be used to extract or mount IMG files for 2.3.6 with firmware "S5360_DDLC2_ODDLA2_DDLC2_by_Doky"

[Q] [Rooting] Using Heimdall

Sorry if this is a re-post, but I'm trying to get this at all angles. This is a T-Mobile S4.
Here's exactly what I've done so far, and I've re-downloaded everything so I have fresh files and filenames/extensions just to clear any mucking up I did:
I downloaded this file from this thread as I understand this is the stock firmware necessary to use here.
I unzipped the file, and used 7-zip to extract the tar.md5 which also extracted a .dll.
The tar.md5 file is named: M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME_.tar.md5
I have installed Heimdall version 1.3.1 as the download site claims that version 1.3.2 broke compatability with many devices.
I downloaded the two .jar files which make up the Heimdall one-click.
If all of this is correct so far, I'm understanding that I need to now feed a tar.gz file to heimdall one-click, however, I don't have any files that end in .gz. Just the tar.md5, which the one-click does not accept.
The button on the one-click literally says, "Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click" - So I'm lost there. I've even tried renaming the tar.md5 to tar.gz.
I'm reading that the front-end GUI is what would be used to create a tar.gz, but it seems to require downloading the PIT file from your phone, and this is failing now, possible due to me having installed Kies and now having different kernel extensions that apparently need to be unloaded (no idea how to do that lol).
This is so complicated! Makes me want to go buy a cheap netbook lol
I havent looked at this much further, but I think you ought to try Heimdal 1.4. Please report back, I am a linux user as well.
