If it's a self extracting file, use something like winrar, and extract the files as you would a rar archive.

Diamond ROM?
I'm having an issue trying to view the files in an RUU file - Can anyone provide me with some more detailed info on how to do this?
Not D&H.
Moved to Q&A.
Please post in correct sections.
Also when you run a RUU it creates a temporary folder with all the contents, i do not know the exact path but im sure a quick google search could find it.

to find the location goto task manager on windows aka.....CTRL+shift+ESC
look for ARUWizard.exe*32
right click on it and open file location. it takes you to the folder and it has the full rom.zip aka the pc36img.zip
i am currently viewing it and will note back asap

here is the adb command file captured

I'm sure this has been asked before but after prolific searching of the forums and our friend Google I turn to you guys for help. As the title says I'm using OS X and I need a solution (that isn't dual booting to use XP) to signing the update.zip so that I can customise aspects of my ROM, I'm very eager to learn how to do this and this so far seems to be quite an annoying problem.
Thanks for your time in advance

Hi korndub,
Cannot you post the answer here so everybody that uses OS X can also sign?
I'm also having problems signing full roms (update.zip files) with signapk.jar
Any help is appreciated

i have a folder on the desktop which contains the signapk.jar and both sets of keys...put the Archive.zip that you have created and want to sign in this folder, then open terminal
in terminal, you type
$cd FOLDER-containing-files
$java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Inputfile.zip outputfile.zip
the outputfile.zip is your update which is signed....
OK, I do all that I think.
Heres my process.
Download ROM
Extract downloaded zip to folder eg update
Make changes to files
Compress folder back to zip eg update1.zip
java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update1.zip update_signed.zip
rename and copy the signed file to sd
reboot recovery
wipe and apply update
It doesn't moan about the signing (so I assume its ok) but I get an update script not found error and it doesn't install.
I haven't changed the update scripts, only the boot.img and one or two scripts in system.
Does every file I change have to be resigned as well? I muct be missing something here
on OSX 10.5
Signing has nothing to do with that error. Make sure that the update-script is in the correct path.
META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
it is, is a normal update.zip (ie cyanogen rom), and the only file I've changed is boot.img and a2sd in system/bin
i have a folder on the desktop which contains the signapk.jar and both sets of keys...put the Archive.zip that you have created and want to sign in this folder, then open terminal
in terminal, you type
$cd FOLDER-containing-files
$java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Inputfile.zip outputfile.zip

Thank you so much, this works for me, I might try and build it into an automator workflow
Edit: I spoke too soon, I get the update script error also

sadly not, I just used a application that zips in a PC format (without mac hidden files) and no joy. Good idea though.
Edit: Just tried archiving the zip but not compressing. Thought I was on to something. I wasn't.
Another update, I have tried the same in Fedora 11 and again, getting the update script error message when I flash.
I signed modified update for 3 different builds on my Mac, everything worked w/o problems every time. I did everything like described in readme and several times here. So, it's not a global OS X problem.
BTW, I used muCommander to directly modify all zips.

you dont archive (zip) the folder, this is where you are having the issue... say you extracted the rom to ROMFOLDER, what you need to do is go into that folder, select all, then right click or two finger click and choose Compress - you will end up with an archive that contains all sub folders, if you zip the folder then you have a folder within a folder and that is where all goes south..

Oh my god, you're right. And I think I actually read that somewhere before now you've reminded me. Damn. Thanks though! Thanks a lot!
Awesome, knew it was me being stupid.
sure thing guys! glad i could help...
Always something stupid...
With the help of red_menace over at the apple support forum, I present Mac users with an application that will sign their .apk and .zip files.
It is a droplet application, meaning you just have to drag the file you want signed onto the application itself. A new file will be created with -signed at the end of the file name.
For this to work you need to have testsign.jar in your root directory. The root directory is the first place you come to when you click on the mac hard drive.
If anyone wants to use or edit the script that's fine with me, I really didn't do much, just asked the right people for help.
Android-sign.zip Download
Android-sign.zip has both the testsign.jar and android-sign application.
EDIT: Sorry about the mixup. Testsign.jar is now linked above.
thank you sir! will try tonight
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testsign
I cant find the testsign.jar its not in the tool directory of my SDK that I downloaded from Androids website
Where can I get this testsign.jar?
*EDIT*
I found the testsign.jar in the forums. You can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538020
But I still get the same error I've placed the program and the testsign.jar file in the same directory.
I have some cool skins in the making! I just need to know how to sign these files! I'm on a mac.
Why am I getting the error?
wow i need this bad...now lets c if i know how to get it 2 work....

are you putting the testsign.jar in your ROOT dir? aka where adb is

Okay, so I'm getting the same error. And yes, my testsign.jar/Android-sign.app are both in my sdk/tools dir.
Not sure what the problem is.
Hope I can get this to work

What file is the adb? I understand what adb means and what it does, but I don't know how to identify it.
Ok so since im new to this can someone can make a really dumb guide for me from dowloading the app to putting the test.jar file please.
im getting the same error, this is a huge step though when u figure out whats going on with the rest of our Auto-sign, repost thanks nd thumbs up
nice...thx for sharing this. will come in handy
oops, still getting used to all this. haha

the testsign.jar needs to be in the root directory of your computer. The app can be placed anywhere you would like. Where ever you put the app, the new signed file will be also.
guys so lets say i put meltus audio hack in cyanogen 4.9999 and i want to sign the whole build back up how would i do that.
thank you

no i said that, and it is where adb is.... at least for me... in the root dir, if you move the adb file there you don't have to enter the path every time you enter adb commands in the terminal

i think what jaaronmoody was talking about is just putting your adb file into the root directory instead of adding to the bin. but im pretty new to the whole terminal and coding stuff, so i just know what i've picked up since having my g1.
guys does anybody know about signing folders again to make them flashable?

well if the file is good. you just have to drag the cm 4.9999.zip file onto the app and it will spit out the new signed version.
What I think is more complicated is actually modifying those files. I use virtualbox to run windows and do everything with 7zip.
Anyone know of a zip program similar to 7zip to edit the apk and zip files?
Dude! Thanks! Alright guys get ready now that I have everything in place ADB, and signing my .zip files expect Luck's turn at android development lol. Im hecka grateful for everybody but now im ready haha thanks guys
Thanks for the help.
Works like a charm.
Awesome droplet.
This tool is an interactive console application. It makes it easier to use blob tools. All you have to do is run it, choose to unpack or repack. If you choose repack it will ask you to enter the name for each of the required files. After that it will due the rest.
Notice: You either have to enter the full, have the blob file in the same directory/folder or have change changed directories to the location of the blob. For example: cd /path/to/blob's Dir/
Update: I have fixed the case sensitivity issue.
Note: The attachments below will always be the latest.

Those were compressed with the LZMA algorithm. Here try these ones there compressed with the normal zip compression for windows.

Sourcecode and Update
As I am unable to compile for Linux or mac at the moment here is the sourcecode for this tool.
This uses a Code::Blocks IDE for its project/workspace. It can be compiled with just a c++ compiler. The icon is only available on windows as I do not know to implement it on macosx and Linux does not support icons in executables. also, I have updated this application as well the updated binarie zip files and source zip are attached. Enjoy!

I tried to unpack a blob and it kept failing with an Invalid Option! error. I hit u then typed blob which was in the same directory. I then manually dragged the blob onto the blobunpack.exe and it unpacked it fine.
Any ideas why?

I was unsure of what extenstion the blob file had when I created this. What extenstion do they have? is it .blob? If so I think i can fix it.

The blobs usually have no extension at all, and the extracted parts have a dot and the partition name as their last part, but I would not call these "extensions" (even if Windows disagrees with me).

Thanks, that makes more sense. Also, I am thinking about having BlobTools print the command usage in more detail or at least a "--help" command displaying detailed usage of BlobTools. Like, how to unpack and repack.
[WIP] New tool
I am going to make gui version of this using wxwidgets and also maby consolidate the two tools into one and then combine it with GUI. That would make it much better.

Is the blob you want to unpack in the same directory? If that does not work try adding a "." the end of the file name.

This is a thread on how to unpack and repack the system.img.dat file of your Android Rom,to see its content.
Starting from Android 5.x (Lollipop) Custom roms are not compressed like on previous android versions. Earlier all Files were inside the /system folder.And we were able to see all the system files
The problem started in >=5.0 versions because rom size increased and it was necessary to highly compress them again.
You Must Have Following Files Installed in your PC
1. Java SDK = Click here to download java
2. Python 2.xxx= Click here to download Python
How to decompress /Repack these files? Its Sipmle !!
