im download it, but the program dosent run, hoe can i run unyaffs?

honestly, if you can't type "android unpack boot.img" into google, there's not much chance of you porting a rom.
First result has your answer (I can't post a link)

use this kitchen here to extract it. Just leave the *.img in the zip folder you downloaded from or zip it up yourself.

Wouldn't that be what the Odin files are in the "get back to stock" thread?

I dont want ODIN files. I need the files that you can readily modify in windows. i need to go through and find some files and put them in a rom.

Pretty certain Odin files are zip files. I can't check into it at work but I would guess you can just use 7zip and extract them. Otherwise, just flash your phone back to stock and pull whatever you need from there.

Odin is .tar and .md5 files. i cannot open those in windows. I need ones that u can flash for instance with clockworks recovery type of file.

There is no such thing. That's why you have to use Odin to go back to stock. And I know the file extensions of Odin, however those files contain other folders/files. Which is why I said use 7zip to see them.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

You know another thing you could try is the pick n pack rom file. It is stock deodexed and a flashable .zip file. The odin files can be opened on a PC you just have to use the programs mentions. But as far as a complete stock flashable. zip file. You aren't going to find it cause we just don't have it. Best bet would be to download the mentioned programs and decompress the ODIN file.
Another thing I just remembered is the program winrar recognizes the .tar ODIN files as winrar archives. You may be able to decompress and extract the files you need with that program. But if your gong to have to download anyting I would just do the above mentioned programs as they have been proven to work.
Tap-a-Talked.

As stated above you can get those from pick and pack it is the stock rom essentially and includes all of the .apk's and files in a .zip (you'll need apktool to decompile the .apk's in windows), or you could flash stock in odin and then pull them with ADB (QTADB works well for that).
You won't be able to work with the .bin files located inside the .tar (in windows), but you can get into the .tar with winrar or 7zip. You need linux to get into the .bin files

if u wanna extract system.img then use dsixda kitchen.
put the img file in update original update folder then go to cygwin and choose make a working folder from rom.
it will identify your img file and then give an opt to extract it.

[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
