Ez7z is an easy-to-use archiver that allows users to perform a number of tasks:
Expand 7z, bzip2, gz, rar, tar, and zip files.
Shrink files into 7z, bzip2, gz, tar, and zip formats.
View the contents of an archive without opening it.
Delete files from an archive without opening it.
Create, verify, and repair par2 files.
Process multiple files with ease.
I haven't used this before but I think I'll try it out the next time I'm on my Mac.

Is there an nandroid rom emulator for PC so I can view and mess with my backups without having to flash them? Or even just view them..

They aren't the kind of files that you can just double click.
The boot and recovery images can be split with splitboot or a hex editor for the mischevious. You can use unyaffs on the system image to extract it.

I haven't tried to extract userdata.img, but my guess that it's similar to the system.img, but with slightly different headers.
In short, I don't think there is an easy way to check what is on a backup, but that also depends on your idea of easy. As much as I like flashing my NAND, I'd rather unpack an image than flash a backup just see what the tooth fairy left inside.
Going forward, the OP could make a manifest of all the files and save that with the backup. this might do the trick?
Code:
ls -aR /* > manifest2010-12-31.txt
Thanks a bunch. There was once an emulator made that showcased android 1.5 as if you had a phone screen on your desktop. You could even install apks on it and some worked.
It would be neat if someone took it a few steps further to load even custom test roms so you try.. say a sense rom to see if you even liked sense before flashing your phone.
That's the official Android emulator, it's included in the SDK. You can try running your own images on it, but I could never get them to boot properly.
To open the .img files found in a nandroid backup you have to unyaffs them. It pretty much extracts the files out of the .img
I've attached a copy of the tool, just extract it, put the .img file in the unyaffs folder, and drag and drop the .img file onto unyaffs.exe.
Hope that helps
EDIT: Make sure it's a copy of the .img so you should NOT remove the file itself from the backup folder.
Recently I started downloading music in zip files to my phone for storage. But when I try to unzip them, I get errors. I tried on 4 did file managers including root manager. Do I need s-off todo this?

Mount USB and unzip it. Nice and quick. Root explorer does it and most other archiving apps do it. Maybe the archive is corrupt?
I don't think so. Root manager actually lets me open the file and listen to the songs with the inapps player but if I try and extract, I get either a error or a completed msg but I check the file and it's empty

I use the good old Astro and it always unzips the files for me. Also tried AndroZip, worked, too.
No idea then. A zip file is just an archive for file(s) so you should be able to extract them just fine. Otherwise it is deemed corrupted. I guess you could test the archive and see if there are any errors with it and maybe if there is, that might help you a little more. You can test the archives out using WinRar or maybe some app.
Try Estrong file explorer.
Else download dropbox and transfer the files to your phone after you unzipped them on your computer.
BTW unzipping should not even require a rooted phone.
thx 4 the info all. im going to reflash cyanogen 7. just a question thou. is cyanogen 7 the best of the best as far as roms r concerned?
Maybe there's something wrong with the zip file or the ROM. No need to S-OFF in order to extract archive files
I used the SuFu, but found nothing that suit my situation.
I extracted a Rom to remove some apps i don´t need, but the problem is i used windows 7 (also Winrar) to compress the file together, but the phone is seeing the file but it´s not executable. When i click on the file in recovery mode, all i get are just the individual files and i cannot install like a normal rom.
How do i return the rom to it´s original form for installation. What am i doing wrong.
Use 7zip instead. Don't extract the ROM.zip file.
Once I stalled, right click / 7zip / open archive / and delete what you need.... Close, save if asked.

Thanx mate for the blitz response. will give it a try.
i have a psone game (marvel vs cap) 7z.ecm file
i drag it to the unecm file (pakkiso) and i want it to change to a bin file but it changes it to 7z file not a bin.
i've looked everywhere and i'm sorry i'm a beginner at this but what am i doing wrong.
appreciate the help.
The game should be compressed inside the 7z file.
Yeh just unzip the 7z file somtimes you have to unzip the files twice

Hello everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to open files with .face extension on a PC with Win or OSX.I tried unsuccessfully with xn viewer.
Try renaming to .zip and use 7Zip , Winzil or WinRar to open the file.

If you use 7Zip, you don't even have to rename it. It's that cool of a program that it'll let you extract anything that is extractable simply by right clicking on it.
Thanks for the tip.I can extract the files but I was hoping to see immediately the animated clock.Maybe one day there will be a program for PC similar to Facer in order to edit faces for the smartwatch.
Someone once mentioned a program that did exactly that. I can't remember what it's called now, but it was some ambitious name for the software.
Watchface-Studio
Thank you for the suggestion LazyT !!.
rename the .face to .zip then you can extract the info reverse step to make back to a .face and install Note make sure to turn off the "Hide extensions for known file type" in Folder view options..
Or use my program
