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.

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?

Is it possible to decrypt Wotan flash files? here example:
for E10:
The Client Window with 2.1.1.A.0.6 UK
The files it flash:
RXC65499ceaf51319f40237f173e65b0114
WinRar:
RXB55c89f553e952b96609d23e686a668ad
WinRar:
RXD4c3a39d5624f20d3fc783e3817502a66
WinRar:
*Now the problem is, when I rename the files to SIN and make bundle FTF with Flash Tool, it stuck, I try every file there, but it can't flash them
**I need it because I have Prototypes, and they flash-able only with Flash Tool.
Unfortunately not.
I tried a few weeks ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126409#postcount15007369
what about rename all files to *.sin ? after that try to convert to ftf
Good luck in your endouvers, please call me when successful!
It IS possible!
Extract all the files wotan has downloaded in the /data/flashes folder with 7zip. (they have no file extension)
Now you should have files with extensions like "*.s01", "*.s02", and so on.
Rename all files to "*.sin"
In Flashtool (I used 0.6.8.0) menu Advanced -> Bundle Creation
Select all *.sin files, right arrow to Firmware content
Fill in the Device, Version and Branding field
Press OK
Now you have your selfmade *.ftf file!
Edit: It doesn't work on my LT18i! But it should!! You hear from me.
Work??
It's Work???
How do I extract ftf file so I can flash kernel.sin via fastboot?

Extracting ROM files from HTC RUU
Official HTC ROM updates are released as RUU (ROM Update Utility), which you run on your (Windows) PC to get the target device updated automatically.
Some of the big brains in the Android community release RUUs re-packaged into signed update files,
which in turn allow for whatever ROM customization you can imagine.
In this how to I will explain how to extract ROM files from a RUU image,
which you can then customize and use to flash your device without the fear of a new bootloader possibly making your device unrootable.
Requirements :
Windows PC,
Microsoft Process Monitor,
File Archiver capable of extracting ZIP files(eg, 7ZIP),
Official HTC RUU for your Android device.
The process of extracting ROM files from a RUU is really straightforward.
The idea behind it is that the self-contained update utility first needs to unpack the update payload into a temporary folder before pushing it onto the device.
This is when we grab the ROM file...
1. download the official RUU
2. start Process Monitor.
3. press CTRL+L
4. change "Architecture" to "Process Name"
5. leave the "is" field as it is
6. in the empty field copy and paste the name of your
RUU file (eg, RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe)
7. click "Add"
8. change "Process Name" to "Path"
9. change "is" to "Contains"
10. in the blank field type "rom.zip" (without quotes)
11. click add
Click "OK" to set the filter and then run the RUU file.
Once the utility starts switch back to Process Monitor and look for an entry in the "Path" column that ends with "\rom.zip".
Right click on that line and select "Jump to..."
this will open a Windows Explorer window in the folder which contains the zipped ROM files
Copy the "rom.zip" file to some other folder, outside of the temp RUU folder tree (eg, desktop)
Once copied, close Process Monitor and the RUU utility.
The copied "rom.zip" file contains the following files:
android-info.txt - list of CIDs this RUU will flash to,
boot.img - root file system image,
hboot (followed by a version string) - boot-loader update,
radio.img - radio driver update,
recovery.img - recovery partition image,
splash1_Hero_320x480.nb0 - boot loader splash image,
system_rel.img - system partition image,
userdata.img - data partition image.
You can now, among many other things, root the ROM
and then flash the updated boot.img and all the other image files on to your device using Recovery
it doesnt work... the process monitor colum is all blank after running RUU... there are no processes listed

you mst be doing something wrong i double checked the method and it still works fine for me..
make sure your environment is set up correctly and run everything as administrator or disadle uac in windows..
thanks for the reply, let me check it again...
i will post back to u
rom.zip corrupted
I followed the directions and like another post in here procmon shows a blank screen. I went to task manager and opened processes and saw when it ran then clicked open file location and found it. I did this twice and both zips are corrupt. (used winzip)
error [D:\android apps\EVO root\EVO\rom.zip]: start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt.
Possible cause: file transfer error
when I close the RUU all the files in that folder disappear so you have to leave the RUU running while you copy the zip file or it's gone.
At least that's what I saw.
update to last post
I found a zip repair tool and was able to repair and extract the 1.10.653.2 RUU rom capture. I will have to try to run it later. If anyone gets corrupted zip error, Zip Repair pro will repair it.
To get the rom zip without any errors just run the ruu.exe file, when the box with a picture of a phone pops up, click start on pc, type in "run" and click on run then in that box that pops up, type in %temp% and click ok. Another window pops up then just scroll down to the most recent folder and rom.zip will be in there, if not it will be in the next folder.
Hi,
when I try to open the rom.zip I get an error message, it just said it cannot open with 7zip and with windows it says its invalid.
I tried downloading the RUU multiple times but still the same error. I rune the RUU as administrator.
Tried copying it over to different locations and then open it.
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_O2_UK_1.14.206.13_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_289474_signed
HTC ONE X+
Thank you
Update:
I used Zip Repair Pro.. however there is no boot.img inside the repaired zip -_-
For those which have problem with making Process Monitor detect RUU temp folder, make sure You add whole file name of RUU including .exe at the end.
Jmcclue's steps, work perfectly, Thank you post #7

note path is desktop (last post showed from temp folder) and i still get same results. did some searching and aperantly htc now signs their zip files and they can't be opened anymore. having usb issues that causes fastboot force close errors and need to be able to flash boot.img thru flashify app to return it to stock. ran the htcguru reset rom that uses aroma installer to return to stock that lets me take ota's but i get qualcom location force close and other custom roms give me issues forcing me to reset phone to stock every few days with guru installer. flashing recovery in fastboot is a chore as well. I have s-off and can keep it, but doing fastboot oem lock wont relock the bootloader, even though it shows success in cmd line. i can cid and super cid with fastboot.
it leaves me at a point where i really need to pull everything out of the rom.zip file and it wont open.
pic 1, 7zip wont open archive on desktop
pic 2, how i get recovery to flash
pic 3, results from running RUU
i have to reboot device, set comand to reboot bootloader, set command to flash recovery all faster than phone will do all commands to get it to flash, and RUU doesnt work that fast. i know im on sprint with htc one m7, but google search "extract htc zip" "extract rom.zip" both lead to this thread as top result. no other searches will tell me how to open the archive, except one that resulted in "htc signed zips can no longer be opened"
you're more than welcome to give it a go

Did HTC change the way they create the exe? I don't find it, the biggest file is data1.cab file that I can't extract.
I'm trying to extract the stock rom for an ATT HTC One Mini (m4) because RUU keeps crashing on me and won't install. I am also rooted with S-off.
If anybody can help me get the stock m4 rom so I can go back to stock, I would really appreciate it.

No they didn't change it. Some ruu's use a different format requiring the use of a tool called unruu instead of trying to capture the zip file when using the exe (I just learned this today). I've gone ahead and used unruu and the resulting zips have been put in a single tar file. you can download it from here for about 30 days after which ill have to delete the file. also i dont know which zip has what in it.

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
This morning I deleted my system camera app and that made my phone bootloop. After some trickery I managed to install a new version but lost all my photos and files along with root. Can I get a tutorial how to create my own boot image with magisk so I can hopefully recover some of the photos. Thank you
Hey, there might be more ways, but this is the one I follow everytime I root my g7.
Download the firmware (.kdz file). You can get that here.
In the meantime (the download will take some time) you can search and download a tool called "LG Firmware Extract", mine is v1.2.6.1. If you struggle finding it, you can download the one I attached (for Windows).
Once both are downloaded, open the firmware extractor and there click "Open" next to "KDZ File" label and locate the .kdz file you just downloaded. You can also type in the file path instead of locating.
In the table of files below, check the largest file starting with G71030f and click "Extract KDZ"
In the working directory (marked as "Working folder ..." above the table) you should now find a file named after the file you checked. Locate that one on "DZ File" row by clicking "Open" next to it.
Now in the second table, find a file called boot.img_65286, check, Extract DZ.
The file should be in the same directory previous one (G71030f...) was. Rename it to boot.img.
Send the boot.img to your phone
Install Magisk Manager, open, click "Install magisk"
On method selection choose "select and patch a file" and pick the boot.img file and proceed.
That's it, you should be told where your patched image sits.
In case you want to skip steps 1 to 7, I attached a boot.img file. I also attached a patched boot.img, since I did it for mine, too.
BTW if you choose to download the firmware extractor from the attached files, you can find a short tutorial on how to extract boot image in a text file inside.
Hope it still helps you.
