http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310
i cant seem to find the right one everyone says to chose one but what and from where?
thanks im new to this so any help would be appreciated
forgot to add my phone is a htc cruise polaris
i think its the pola100 version but im not sure how to tell?

I had the same problem but I solve a little searching.
- Download DOWNLOAD RLS12 Themed All Languages
- Here is the file androidinstall.tgz
- Install the program 7-zip and open the *. tgz file. Now you can view and decompress the file androidinstall.tar that is what you need.
This is because they do a double compression the original file.

How to zip files in Windows

Hello! Okay the title pretty much says it all, I have followed this guide to port the newly released MIUI 2.7.20 from the hercules to our skyrockets and to make the file switches i had to "extract" both archives. Now I have everything changed that needs to be but no way to re zip it to flash? I tried 7zip and Winrar and they just made a zip file that housed the original file inside (cant flash that). Any help would be great, Thanks

[Q] GT-P5113 modify stock firmware and flash question

I have spent several weeks working on this (reading thread after thread) on modifying stock firmware and im running into a problem. I more or less want to know if what i want to do is actually possible. I have downloaded the original .tar.md5 firmware image, opened with 7zip and "extracted" the .tar file (more or less just removed the hash) and then extracted the .img files from the .tar file. I have unpacked/mounted/modified/repacked using several methods (dsixda kitchen -which havent been able to work around adding the java path since after i add the path cygwin thinks im missing clean app until i remove the path in which case i get an error saying it cant find java/ i have tried mounting using ext4_utils in ubuntu) my issue arises when i take my modified and repacked system.img file i cant get it to work either by 1. zipping it in a .tar with the other .img files and flashing with odin, 2. zipping system.img alone into a .tar and flashing with odin, 3. installing cwm/root and flashing the system.img)
More or less my question is
1. is it possible to modify the stock firmware and load it onto the tablet without rooting
2. can system.img be flashed by itself or does it need the other .img files in the same .tar
3. does the tar file require being signed before flashing even with CWM recovery and root already on the tablet?
I have used these forums for a while to find answers, but i am new to posting, i havent needed to post a question until now since i spend as much time researching as i can before bothering people with a question (i like to figure stuff out and hate to admit defeat) Thanks in advance for the help despite my noobishness

[Completed] Need an update to my RK3066 that isn't in RAR type but rather ZIP.

i need an update to my RK3066 to 4.4.4 kitkat that isn't in RAR type but rather zip. I've downloaded a couple different ones from the Malaysk profile on XDA and then converted to zip only to have my device recognize it as a bad file. any options?

Hi !
What did you use to convert it ? The zip or rar are the same
You maybe want a zip file in order to flash it in recovery but you have downloaded a rar which isn`t recognized
Open the rar archive and use the files from inside of it , it may contain an image an you have to use that one
Good luck !

i did try and flash update w/ the rar but the tablet didn't recognize a rar ext. So i converted to a zip and the tablet stopped because it stated it was a bad file. I thought something may have messed up during the conversion and did it again but same result. I've looked everywhere for updates to 4.4.4 for this tablet but no luck. the ones that i did try and flash would open update and then abort the install.

As I said, I understand what you have tried, now please listen to me, the rar file is not a flashable zip and you cannot just convert it to zip in order to flash it, the flashable zip file results from building the ROM not converting rar to zip
Rar and zip are indeed both archives but the zip you need is a flashable zip as I mentioned above
Open that rar and tell me what you have inside
As for roms, if here on xda aren't available then contact the manufacturer's website or go deeper into Google, as far as I can see there is no ROM for your device here on xda

.pak file extrack

Hi
i recently got an interest in checking a game's file ( Dead By Daylight Mobile) to see if i can mess with them to get perks that ain't in the game yet and stuff like that..
So after a little research i found a .pak file (2 GB of space ) and i wanna ask if someone knows how to extract it to get the files from the inside
( whoever is interested and has the game the pak file is located in Android/obb/com.bhvr.deadbydaylight/main.312289.com.bhvr.deadbydaylight.obb/DeadByDaylight/Content/Paks)
I know some people found a way inside the pak file but i can't find how ....I tried opening it with 7-zip, WinRAR and most of the apps on pc but all of them failed to open it since the .pak was unsupported ......
If someone knows how to extract it please i need some help
