Hi all the Master, i have a hero, wish to know the method of dump the official rom to an update.zip....
YOU JUST DOWNLOAD IT and if the name of the file has to be update.zip then name it that
just download it..
or run ruu look in temp dir, get rom.zip
voila
or search if you need more, it's been answered before.

Hi,
Can any Telstra Desire users work out how to extract the bootanimation.zip? I want to port it to my Dell Streak because I'm using it on Telstra.
Thanks,
Kris

Krisbo, if you've got the Telstra ROM downloaded look for the bootanimation.zip file contained in it. You can open up the ROM with WinRAR search for it and simply extract the bootanimation.zip to a folder then check out the 'change your bootanimation' thread which gives instructions on how to use adb to send it to your device.
The only ROM I have is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe which I downloaded from HTC and that file is unable to be opened with WinRar
this thread http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/213279-ruu-zip-possible.html tells you how to extract the zip from the ruu. once you have the zip, you should be able to find the bootanimation.zip within it.
The ROM.zip within an RUU is .IMG files that can't be opened - you need to use an online kitchen to unpack the IMG files to get the bootanimation.zip
Not that easy really

agreed - but might be the only option for the OP if he/we can't track down a Telstra ROM as a zip.
Hi I have asked this question in the rom section but I guess it got overrun
Anyway the problem I am having when I use any HTC Sense rom and if I download file using the browser on the phone say for example abc.zip the file download as 1.bin
Can someone please explain how to correct thin problem or it a known short coming of all htc sense rom I do not have this issue with defrost rom.
Many Thanks
I havent got a clue how to stop it doing it but after its downloaded just use your file explorer to change the extention to apk then you can run it
There is some information on this thread it seems like few others where having the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744544&highlight=nzb
For me renaming it after the download does not work. What works, though, is renaming it before the download has started, when the browser displays the download confirmation window. Then simply change the extension from .bin to .zip. I'm using Samsung J500FN.
can anybody guide me through making a flashable zip from a rom.zip which i gained from a original RUU for my branded HTC one X? Problem here is that this ROM i want to create should not contain or do any hboot/firmwares updates as currently i am on a higher base then the current available RUUs for my phone. So because of this i cannot just install the original RUU to go back to the original branded ROM. Somebody told me that i have to take out the system.img to achive my goal, so thats what i also tried. i Extracted the system.img out of the rom.Zip and placed it in a new rom.zip folder without all the hboot.img and oder files.
This is how far i am for sow now:
-extracted the rom zip out of the ruu
-installed dsixdas ANdroid rom kichten
- did set up a working folder with the rom.zip from the original ruu
-tried to build a new rom out of the working folder in two ways ->
1. with the whole rom.zip containing everything original
2. rom.zip just containing the system.img
everytime i try to flash the built zip file, it gives me error in /sdcard/update.zip status 0 in recovery.
Is that right that i have to flash the stock kernel and recovery.img after sucessful flashing my own rom? What else should i do? Hope somebody could help me out!
what do i have to do now?
My main goal is to go back to my original branded rom so i can do the OTA updates which are available.
thank u in advance
anyone?

I tried the same things you did, My device is HTC Explorer (Pico) and got the same error message while flushing. You cant try putting META-INF folder from other custom rom and try to rebuild the rom. this trick worked for me once. I am no expert of creating rom I am a complete noob just sharing my experience. Do it with your own risk. Sorry for my bad English.
Hello fellow earthling!
Acc. to my carrier, the JB OTA is gonna hit me soon. (Finally!) So I've been thinking about going back to stock in order to download and save the OTA file. (Which is going to be saved in /cache, right?)
=> My question:
From this update-file, how do I create a firmware.zip-file, like the one aviable on the CID thread?
Greetings from Switzerland,
BigFatTony
The OTA zip file contains the firmware.zip file so you just need to extract it.
people claim it gets downloaded in the Download(s) folder on your SD, or on the root of the SD (and is deleted if you apply it)
the OTA file should look something like this : OTA_ENDEAVOR_U....blablablbalblablablablab.zip
to extract the firmware just copy the ota file and open it on your pc and you will find firmware.zip if its included.
//SOLVED//
The OTA zip file contains the firmware.zip file so you just need to extract it.

Thank you very much! It's so simple, it's boring.
Thanks to you, too, Vcek. I'm sure I'll find it.
Have a nice evening.
iam gtrying to flash the old version of xenon hd wich is 11.1 now every time i try to flash never complete always abort by the way hboot is 1.72 help please if you can
Think you need to update the updater script in the meta inf folder of the rom. You need to add your hboot number
aaah can u plz explain how??
Open the ZIP with 7zip and take out the updater script. Open that with notepad++ and change for instance 1.39 with 1.72. Safe the file and insert it in the rom.zip and flash the rom again
i am sorry man i couldn't recognise the file would you plz mention it's name and the folder where it should be
Open the rom zip and unfold all the folders under META-INF check every folder, you see soon a file called updater-script. That's the one you need......
