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.
Update: Fixed Not unpacking

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.

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

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

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..

If you ever came across one of these QSB files from Lenovo and wondered how you could make use of it, this is what you are looking for. It is mostly wild guessing but this script have been tested successfully on 3 different QSB for the Vibe Z (K910).
You need Perl and its XML Simple extension in order to run the script.
Every feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Good news is that since Perl is scripting, it should work pretty easily under Windows. If it is installed on your machine, just
Code:
perl split_qsb.pl
should be enough.
As for the extension needed (XML Simple), if I remember correctly, Perl is shipped with a configurator allowing to download such addon pretty easily.
I get this:
Code:
Data starts at offset 0
End of index detected
-1 entries and 0 bytes extracted
Rebuild the splitted files...
File does not exist: rawprogram0.xml at split_qsb.pl line 185
I think that it cannot split the qsb file, it's a lenovo firmware update, you now why this happen?
Thanks!

Little of topic, but what is a QSB file? Im trying to flash a Lenovo K920 and the instructions says (translated from Russians) un-zip to a QSB file... a normal un-zip does not reveal any QSB files. It is just a bin folder containing a lot of other file other than QSB-files...
Any advice?

Introduction:
This is my first thread in XDA. It is just meant to help flashohoolic people to prepare automatically installable aroma zip files based on SVN releases of their favourite ROM.
Description :
It is an Excel file combining formulas and some VBA Code to create Aroma Zips Automatically with appropriate changelog for the revision and the some specific additions to aroma-config and updater-script files.
ChangeLog :
V1.0 Initial release
V1.1 Added automated zipping
V1.2 Cleaning Folders after Zipping
V1.3 Changed messagebox text when cleaning update folder
V1.4 Added FTP Support
ToDo:
Give some colors to this thread
Add automatic SVN Update and Export
HowTo:
You must have already set up SVN on you computer
Extract Zip file somewhere on your computer
Open the excel file in it

Great work. Exactly what I needed. Only if it worked with 64bit excel.
Will see if I can get it to work. But need time. Awefully busy.
EDIT Added PtrSafe attribute to Declare statetements and seems to pass that error. Now when I say go, I get two popups: One to clear initially exported files, and two to FTP upload. But nothing happens then. Is FTP a must?
EDIT2: Something happens. I get an output with 2228KB size that only contains the META INF directory.

I have too same problem.
i made this small tool to Edit boot images on windows without Linux and cygwin.
i was carefull writing but even if there is any errors.. plz report bugs.
details is given in readme.
i searched over and over on google to find tool that works on windows but couldnt find any
finaly i decided to write my own.. and here is the tool.
New version available (1 aug 2014)
abimE v1.1R2
Hey first of all, nice tool. It seems to extract and recreate the boot.img file correctly although I haven't actually tested it yet.
However, I am getting some strange behavior with the header editor in Windows 7.
First, when selecting the attached image file to extract, I immediately get the error, "HeaderEditorERROR: File does not exists" in the log. This does not prevent me from extracting the image.
Then when attempting to edit the header info file extracted from this image I either get nothing or an overflow error which causes the application to crash.
ok buddy im looking for this
Sent from my Titanium S5 using XDA Free mobile app
temporarily.. you can solve this by deleting boot.img_out folder that you last time extracted..
header not found error:: this app automatically try to load last extracted bootimginfo file.. if it not exists.. it show this error.. its not to worry about.

It will unpack s6 plus 7.0 boot.img but after repack if you try to flash it will not allow secure check fail boot
Hi!
I'd like to know where the OTAs are stored in our M2. Anyone that hasn't done yet the update download, and that has Root permissions, can use this app to find where they're stored, and if possible, upload it and post a link to it.
Thank you!
Do you still needed the file, sir ?

Yep. It's for some research
I think, the app didn't work sir. After I wait 30 minutes, none of the files were copied to my storage. Then I try searching using manual method, I found one file, the file size is as large as my OTA update. The nama file is "update-package".
The file extension is not ".zip", in the folder recovery (internal storage). My estimate, the file extension .LZMA or .tar.LZMA or .zipx.
I've tried to extract and decompress in the PC (windows os) using some programs, but failed.
If you still need the file, I'll upload it now .

Okay, so this is what I got:
The update zip refuses to be flashed in UBL devices. FOTAkernel system is broken after you open the bootloader, which leads us with an unused partition (but that's other thing). The recovery logs just say: WARN: Status Rooted, ERR: Bootloader is unlocked.
I've tried to force it using AOSP Recovery commands
Code:
echo 'boot-recovery' > /cache/recovery/command
echo '--update_package=/sdcard/update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
But just got a big nope.
So, now time to have a look at it. I tried to unpack it several times but no luck. The reason seems to be, very probably, because this is a LZMA compressed file (as 7-Zip reported) but with 2 additions at the end (which corrupts the entire read of it): An unencrypted/uncompressed XML which points out which is the software available right now in the phone (<source>), and which is the version that is going to be installed (<target>), plus, some a weird <generation> section. This is the XML
Code:

And, right after that, I can perfectly see a SIN header, so I isolated it and, looks quite similar to the FOTAkernel.sin included in FTFs (330613072905Z010U S1_FOTA0 ‚"0), I personally guess it's a very, very small ELF binary, by the size of it.
So, the problem now comes to isolate the 3 parts, the LZMA file, the XML and the SIN, separetly. After that, I think we can probably have a look insde them.
How about linux os? Can we unpack or decompress that file on linux os, sir? Do you have tried?

I've tried many tools and combinations (ext4, .img, etc) and none of them worked... I'll think more about it.
