[Q] Extract .APP files on windows? - General Questions and Answers

I'm trying to do a rom port, but the rom im trying to port is stuck in a .APP file, and to my understanding thats an executable file for Mac OSX. I'm on a windows machine. any ideas?

do you maybe mean an .apk file?
if so try winrar or 7-zip

na, its a .app lol ive only ever seen it on mac, but its an android update file... ah...

hmm...never had experience with type of file...

Any news here? I want to extract an update.app file from official Huawei MediaPad 10FHD Firmware.

and i found an update on huswei site ..i downloaded the update and when i extract it i found 2 tar files

i think you should use archive if it was zip, where that 2 files was before you extracted them.

Is there any possibility to convert the update.app from huawei to a flash-able zip file, to install with CWM?

i can't unpack system.img from huawei p20 firmware

Hi, I downloaded firmware eml-tl00 using firmwarefinder . I wanted to get apk file ( I need hwcallrecorder from emui 9.1 , I wanted to update my old file ) . I used Huawei update extractor 0.9.9.5 to unpack update.app file and I saved system.img. I tried various unpacking programs like ext4extractor, appimagemaker, imgextractor, ext4unpacker, romzhushou and I was not able to unpack system.img. i'd very appreciate if someone could tell me what programs to use for unpacking firmware
What about renaming the file to *.rar? Many compressed files can be renamed to unpack it with WinRar or 7zip.

unfortunately it doesn't work
Convert to raw
(You could use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redlee90.imagekitchenforandroid )
Then mount raw.img via device's command line on a path allowing that.
Hey. If you can upload the full firmware for me or link me to it somehow... Whatever works... I'll give it a try in my kitchen. I've yet to come across any firmware that i can't unpack. Especily system.img files.
Stuck using a p20 for a bit. Can't handle the no root thing.. I can't even run google keyboard. But i'll unpack the.img!

I really appreciate this method , unfortunately I can't root my phone, so I have to download firmware and then extract boot.img from it right?
The firmware I downloaded
https://www.mediafire.com/file/edza...SW_V8.1.3_HW_V1.0.0_021116_Volte_SPD.zip/file
I tried doing this but didn't any images instead I get 3 files which I don't know too much about, is the problem is that I have to extract it using pc ? because I extracted the firmware on my phone with this app
RAR - Apps on Google Play
Create RAR and ZIP, unpack RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, 7z, ISO, ARJ archives.
play.google.com
Is this app was the problem with extracting ? Or the firmware was faulty ?
JOOC downloaded the ZIP you linked to, too, and unpacked it.
Noticed that the firmware is is stored in directory Firmware, it's housed in archive zsl859p_mmx.pac.
You've to convert the .PAC file to a .ZIP file, e.g. with ezyZip tool, to access its content.
I really thank you for your effort, I will let you know the results after doing this.

I tried to convert the .pac file to .zip from this tool but it takes too much time , I mean that convert to zip button never loads for hours so I thought to view that .pac file first to just to get to know what's inside it and when I viewed it, I didn't find any usefull files which contain boot.img.
The app I used to view what's inside the .pac file https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
