Hi,
since there is no .exe ROM for TMobiles german ROM but a .zip OTA File:
Is it possible to convert the zip to an exe file?
yea, if you google how to extract the rom.zip from a ruu updater you will get all the files from the updater exe, copy all the files from the ruu and replace the rom.zip with the file you want to flash. its the closest i can get you

Any idea?
Did a quick searc and didn't find it...
Get cab file. Open with winzip. Look in _setup.xml file for the filenmes. extract all using winzip and rename according to the filenames in the _setup.xml.
Easy peasy.
Psi
if the rom is an exe, how extract the Cab?
There are no CAB-Files in a ROM.
Only in a Extended-ROM.
I've extracted the cab from the exe, and extracted a nbf file from it... But now I don't know how to continue...
Some exe ROM don't be extracted before flash to PPC, ie : Asus P552, P835, ZincII, nuvifone M20... How to extract them. And how to recreat exe ROM after editing something?Plzz help me!
Are you saying you want to take the ruusigned.nbh file (the actual rom) from the .exe files you sometimes get?
Open it with winrar and find the ruusigned.nbh file and drag it out
no, not HTC Phone. I want to extract some Asus ROM .exe such as P552, nuvifone M20
can u point out the folder???
It resides in the User Temp folder of your windows user profile.
And is deleted as soon as the firmware upgrade is completed on your phone.
can you post the exact compressed file name..what zip utility are you using.
I know winzip is suck..cant unzip alot of stuff.
What size is the package file ?
if the package is stored on non-english characters..that post problem too.
Its just any random file name ending with a TMP extension. Its about 257MB.
e.g. tmp2EFA.tmp
Still no leads to opening this file.
Post the first line of the file: some formats are identifiable based on their opening signature.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

What unzip program are you using ?
Can you try change the extension to .7z and use WinRar to unzip it..Winzip no go
Before Kies starts to flash the firmware, it decrypts the .tmp file to .zip file in the same directory. When Kies update window says "Extracting binary file" or something like that, you can copy the zip file from temp directory. It contains one tar and one dll file. Tar file can be flashed with Odin

If that's the case, are there any other ways to decrypt this file back to zip directly than doing the whole upgrade thing again just for the zip?

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,

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.
Hello all, I need some help finding the .tar or the .md5 file from the stock ROM zip file (Tab Pro 8.4).
I am trying to flash / revert back to stock ROM and recovery, since I am giving this tablet to my nephew. I've downloaded the official firmware directly from Samsung, I've downloaded Odin V3.07 and the samsung drivers are installed on my laptop. I've used Odin before, to flash files (months ago), but where I'm getting stuck is on Odin when I go to select the .tar or the .md5 file form the zip, I can't locate the files. I've extracted them several times using different methods, but not a single time have I been able to extract a .tar or .md5 file, all I get is: META-INF folder, system folder and boot disk image, no .tar or .md5 file anywhere in the folders either.
Am I an idiot here or what am I doing wrong that I don't get the .tar or .md5 file?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
i am not sure where you downloaded it from. i took it from sammobile and the name of the zip is: T320XXU1BNI1_T320DBT1BNJ1_DBT.zip inside it being a file named: T320XXU1BNI1_T320DBT1BNJ1_HOME.tar.md5
PS: i have a german device thats why the DBT code...please download yours...

I am downloading it one more time from sam mobile just to make sure. How did you extract the zip (what program)? 7zip, winrar, etc?
i think i know whats going on. i use winrar for windows you probably use something else. inside .zip there is a .md5 file but inside .md5 file there are meta folders etc. some software consider it being an archive inside an archive and it doesn't even bother to tell you that probably it's extracting folders directly...

use 7 zip, there should be a .tar.md5 in the .zip only extract the .tar.md5. dont extract anything from the tar.md5. just select the tar.md5 in odin after you put your device in download mode
