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,
sviet

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.

2) Open unpacked file with ext2explore.

Thanks!

Wowzers I literally just ran across that method and was about to post then I saw you already said it, good to know if I didn't find it I wouldn't have been left in the dark as you are right that is THE ONLY method that works at the moment for a lot of different people.

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:
hit thanks if helped

Unfortunately this doesn't work. When you drop the system.img.ext4 file onto the sgs2ext4 tool, no file is produced. The tool just keeps endlessly repeating:
"system.img.ext4 32 B 0 B/s"
I think that tool is too old (2.5 years old) and doesn't support the newest Samsung firmwares.

The T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) NK4 firmware. I can't find any instructions online on extracting Samsung firmwares other than these, which were originally written up by rwilco12 a long time ago and reposted endlessly.

The SAMMOBILE firmware or the system.img? I'm not yet downloading it. Let's see if I can resume the download.

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???
