First of all, what Im trying to do is to extract the .tar.md5 files that come with every ROM.
Every time I do that I get a message from 7-zip "There is no correct record at the end of the archive", however the files are extracted.
Below are the files inside the extracted folder:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
Then I try to open the system.img with unyaffs but I get some errors there too for example: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
So my questions are:
1) How to correctly extract a .tar.md5 file?
2) How to open a yaffs2 .img file?
Thanks
try on RAR.
I tried with Rar, but still the same
Hello, I'm needing to reflash the factory firmware to my SHIELD (from NVIDIA's dev site), but I am unable to extract the files from the .tgz archive. I don't have a Linux system, I don't want a Linux system, and I don't want to have to learn a new OS to unpack a few files. I have tried using WinBash and a couple of other utilities (I don't even want to get started on Git) with no success. If someone could provide a walkthrough on extracting this on a Windows 7 system, or post links to the extracted files, that would be awesome. I'm good on the ADB/Fastboot front, I just need access to the .tgz contents. The latest 7-Zip and WinRAR don't work with the file, either. Thanks in advance...
...actually...
Never mind, I answered my own question. For those who need to know who don't know...
1. Download CygWin and install
2. Extract the .tgz file from the system image zip from NVIDIA
3. Rename the .tgz to 'shield.tgz'
4. Go to CygWin parent directory and run 'CygWin.bat', leave open
5. Place shield.tgz into the CygWin\Home\[whatever your CygWin account name is]
6. Go back to Cygwin and type 'bash shield.tgz'
Enjoy!
Just a heads up for people looking/finding this thread via Google & what not, you can also use OSX terminal to extract the contents, so for anyone that has a Mac can do this as it just needs *inx commands & not linux per say as the instructions say on nVidia's site.
I "think" 7-zip on windows can do this.
It can't
A friend of mine Spent a lot of time searching how to extract Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 stock tar.md5 ROM!
That was for building Custom Arabic ROM because there is no Arabic Custom ROM for this Device yet.
i searched for a simple working Tutorial but i did not find ,, it is here in XDA Devs But Separated in more than thread..
So i just will refer to the threads and things are so simple:
A: Extracting tar.md5 ROM file : S5300JPLJ1_S5300OJPLI1_S5300XXLJ4_HOME.tar.md5
use this thred and TuT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265298
and this is the command for this ROM (you can copy and paste it into the Terminal) :
PHP:
./splitfus2 -a -s -w2 S5300JPLJ1_S5300OJPLI1_S5300XXLJ4_HOME.tar.md5
B: Extracting System.img file contents for editing : Use this :
Step 1 download dsixdas android kitchen
download and install Cygwin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
for windows go to the : 1) Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8) section.
Step 2 get your system.IMG and put it in original_update
Step 3 open terminal emulator or Cygwin in windows.
Go to where you extracted the kitchen
In my case its "cd kitchen"
Step 4 type ./menu wait for the GUI to pop up and choose create working folder and this will automatically extract the system.IMG that you have in your original_update folder
Step 5 wait and when its done it will mount system.IMG or something
Edited from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45369856&postcount=6
and go to the work folder and you will find everything extracted .

Hello,
Just wanted to ask if there's a way to extract specific application and its data from TWRP backup?
What are your suggestions? I have tried opening zip but I didn't have luck finding what I was looking for.
Thank you in advance!
If you look at the TWRP logs it indicates that it uses tar to create the archive file.
All you have to do is rename the .wim file to .tar.gz, then extract the file.
Related Windows command line is
Code:
tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
