I just got a new app from work in a .exe format.
can i put in a zip and flash it or do i have to change it to a apk file
I tried to put the exe file on my sd card and use astro to install it put it won't
I also tried to find a app to change exe to an apk with no luck
Thanks for any help!!!
.exe are applications designed to run on windows. Renaming the file wont change anything. It has to be an app written in Android code or it wont work. DO NOT flash unknown/unsigned files in recovery (I dont think it will let you) but if you manage to it can brick your phone.

Thank you god for that answer!!!!!!!
I was looking for a link to a rooted GB rom that is a tar. I found a lot that are zip files as well as the one click file but I need a tar file. I would like to have a gingerbread rom that I can flash using mobile odin.
You're supposed to be able to throw a one-click exe at Mobile Odin and have it flash it.
"Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported. Specific .exe files (Odin3Excutor one-click packages) are also supported." - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19375406&postcount=2
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize it would utilize the one click file.
Hello,
maybe a noob question
i make a cwm backup of my SGW and i want to pack backup folder to cwm flashable .zip file for example my custom rom.zip
how can i do this?
thanks
edit: already done with dsixda kitchen tool
Guys,
I am trying my hand using Dsixda+Cygwin and I want to load up a ROM to test with. It says it can use .tar, .img, or factory ROM files but I am not having any luck with it recognizing my files. I have tried the .tar and .win files from CWM and TWRP backups but Dsixda does not recognize them. How can I create a backup of my current ROM into a file that Dsixda will recognize and allow me to modify?
Thanks,
Ok I'm stumped. I am rooting my phone for the first time on "ODIN". Last time I did it using the toolkit.
So, now I downloaded the ROM I wish to flash. The directions for using ODIN says to put the Firmware file in the PDA slot. After I had downloaded the ROM, it is a zip folder. I had extracted the zip folder and there are many folders. Which one am I putting in the PDA Slot? Thanks?
