Anyone here know how to open/browse/extract files from a .kdz file? I've spent the last hour or so searching via Google and can't come up with anything that works.
Did you try winrar?

Yea it gives an error. Does it support that file type?
Have you tried 7zip? I've never seen an archive it couldn't open, it's like the VLC of compression.

Which file are you trying to extract?

The GB update kdz file.
You need an LG Utilties program to extract the KDZ files. There are some out there for the KP500 and GW520 but not sure if the same utility will work for the G2X P999 files. After that you need a program called unyaffsmbn (zips on internet) to extract the files further. Here is a GW520 Utility zip (attached to post) that I haven't tried yet. I was trying to do the same stuff you've been playing with. I haven't tried to extract the files yet. Another way is to grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. If someone is updating a phone the files are there long enough to copy, but I am not going to update my phone again just to grab the files.

They already have the GB update in the Development section. You could also just download the source code from LG.
People are after the baseband. That's not included on the rom files you mentioned.

This was my first approach but I didn't know where the files were extracted to so thanks. I managed to grab the extracted files by creating a symbolic link named Phone in that LGMOBILEAX directory. I pointed the symlink to another dierectory. I named it Test since I wasn't sure if this would work. I then ran the kdz updater (without my phone attached of course) and it extracted the kdz file to .\Phone which in turn saved them in my .\Test directory. The updater aborted when it detected there was no phone and the extracted files remained in the .\Test directory.
So now I have 2 files (it only extracted 2), Star_Model.dll and a .wdb file that is undoubtedly the firmware because its like a 180MB file. I tried extracting from the firmware using a couple different versions of LG utils that were floating around because they have an option to extract files from a wdb file, but they keep giving an error. I'll keep trying lol.
Any ideas?

Exactly. I don't know why we don't have a flashable baseband yet and maybe my approach is going to be a dead end. Is a flashable baseband even possible on this phone? I dunno lol. Nobody seems to be paying it (the baseband) any attention.
I want to see a flasable baseband and other wind subscribers would as well because to get it we would have to flash the gb update. That changes the splashscreen to tmobile making it unable to change back since we don't have the stock rom that I know of.
Hello all,
Firs I like to apologies if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum.
As the title says, I have a Iglo A101 with GingerBread 2.3.4 phone and I accidently deleted the system/bin/sh file.
I was searching for a2sd and I downloaded it, but when running it, instead of pressing 1 - "install a2sd" I pressed 2 "uninstall a2sd", by mistake, and by the time I realized the sh file was deleted. Now the phone is no longer rooted and can't be rooted and also my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I've search the net for answer but I can't find a solution to this type of phone.
Could someone help me fix this or at least get the Wi-Fi working again?
Thanks in advanced...
OK, I've manage to contact the retailer and he gave me what appears to be the all system files, as now I have a rar containg system.img userdata.img recovery.img etc etc. How do I install this files, because he doesn't appear to know either. I tried from the recovery mode using install update.zip from sdcard but it give's me invalid OTA package and I can't find an answer on how to flash a img file from recovery mode...

Does the device have fastboot? If so the files need to flashed using fastboot. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img.
If your device does not have fastboot then you will need to extract the system.img and make a flashable .zip so you can flash through CWM or whatever your recovery is. If you are using stock recovery then I eexpect you will either need to find a solution or send it off for repair. I will have a look into helping you get your device back up and running but I cant promise to succeed. Give me a few days and I will report back with any solutions or info to get you on your way to fixing your device.
Regards

hi
i had similar problem on this device a101 i did not delete any folder but by rooting the device my wifi and Bluetooth stoped working.i solved the problem by the factory menu.....have you tried it?
i did factory reset, but since there a system file missing it doesn't solve it..Can't there be a way to create an update.zip package with the sh file and then apply like an update from recovery? I've been trying to understand what does invalid OTA package mean, I think if that would be solved then I could easily put the file back...
i think you need spb launcher
i have to admit i used it only ones before for china 5388 there i needed com + usb cable here you need just a normal cable us the boot on this phone is different i have all you need give me email i will send to you. i have scater for a101 file too.i never used it but i have.Us i said my phone work ok after reset from factory mode
still nothing?

look, if your firmware has only 1 file.. then no need..
but then, you'll have to first flash a firmware which has 4 firmware files... for doing that flash pit file and then the firmware files..
then to flash the rom with only 1 firmware file, in PDA select that one file and flash..

Guys, I've seen some people wanting to access BIN roms and/or FLS basebands included in KDZ official roms, and not knowing how to do it.
I've searched the forum, found out how to do it, and decided to make a tutorial for our phone.
Here it goes:
0. Have a "KDZ official rom" file to extract
1. Download attached LGExtract.7z and put the included LGExtract.exe file in the same folder as your kdz
2. Open a Command Prompt
3. Change directory to the folder where you have put the previous files (LGExtract.exe and KDZ file)
4. Run this: LGExtract -kdz V***_00.kdz (use your kdz's name, for example LGExtract -kdz V30A.kdz)
5. Manually extract the CAB file in the same dir (use 7-zip or WinRAR)
6. Run this: LGExtract -wdb V***.wdb LGP920.dll (for example LGExtract -wdb V30A.wdb LGP920.dll)
7. Now you have some files, a few numbered BINs and one FLS)
8. Change directory to BIN folder to manually merge the bin files
9. Run this: copy /b "LGP920_AP[*].bin" "LGP920_AP.bin"
Should output something like this: (THE NUMBER ORDER MUST BE ASCENDING)
LGP920_AP[0].bin
LGP920_AP[1].bin
LGP920_AP[2].bin
LGP920_AP[3].bin
LGP920_AP[4].bin
LGP920_AP[5].bin
1 file(s) copied
10. Now you have your BIN (rom) and your FLS (baseband) files
I like living on the edge and flashing .kdz. hahha
But this is very helpful!:thumbup:

Yes, it is easy, but when you do this, IMEI is null so you need to fix it.
What is the easiest way to flash kdz files into p920?
Actually, it won't bomb your IMEI - I flashed the modem firmware several times already - it's the fault of CM10's modem RIL, so updating to V21D/E or V28 is usually recommended. No matter how hard you do, you cannot brick the modem unless you flashed obviously wrong modem firmware but if it was from any of O3D ROMs, you won't even lose IMEI. I flashed V21D modem firmware extracted with LG P970 ROM extractor and I didn't even need to touch the modem terminal.

Whell, i used P970 KDZ Extractor for Official V30A p920 rom and I had a IMEI problem. I did this from v21e and v28 and both have IMEI problems after that.
I think KDZ is the safest way.

This is definitely not the reason u had IMEI problem! I never had that problem and i used it xx times on two different phones. U probably downloaded faulty rom or have windows problem and it didn`t unpack properly. I flashed V28e and V30a with SmartFlash after unpacking KDZ and my phone works normally.
See? The only way to grenade your IMEI is by flashing wrong modem firmware or corrupted one. Thus, repeating what I said, no matter how hard you do, you won't lose your IMEI.

Guys, there have been multiple reported cases of lost imeis when flashing basebands (fls), it has happened to me twice.
Flashing kdzs doesn't create that problem, at least I've never read such a case.

That's why I use kdz.

I think some CPUs work better with one or the other. I have to ise this janky Netbook that has something like Windows 7 but its like Windows ultimate or somethn like that. I have tried so many times to flash KDZs properly and it just doesn't work for me and the one time I did get the tools to work I completely broke my network and had to format my CPU. Flashtool however works flawlessly for me and I have never had problems; then again I have everything installed correctly too which makes a huge difference. I had an imei issue once back in the ported SU760 days but I'm pretty sure a factory reset and a fresh base and flash fixed that. Its just what works for you.

Hi daniel.mota,
Your LGExtract.exe from LGExtract-0.2.1.7z works great and wrote an easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
But, what can I do about the .bin and .fls file? I mean what is the next meaningful step I can take?

Hy guys, I've got a problem... LGExtract extracts the cab as well and this one extracts a wdb, a wdh and the dll.
When I try to extract the wdb it extracts a file *.tot how to go through this??

Rename file *.tot to *.bin.
Guys, so sorry for the tricky question, I've read in a Spanish forum that this tool is only going to work for Firmwares not bigger than 1gb, can you please confirm this info? or maybe sharing your experiences on using this with a big KDZ? Thanks a lot in advance
Hi guys
I wonder could anyone help me. I'm trying to flash a stock ROM on my s6 with ODIN. It goes so far and then fails on hidden.img I've researched it and the solution found here seems to have worked for most people. My problem is i cant get Odin to recognise the hidden.img.tar file - it just cant see it. I've tried all sorts of ways and i rename it as described and odin just wont recognise it in the right format. Please can someone help me? Just for the record what i do is:
The main image file i open with winrar. I get 8 files. i select the hidden.img file and extract and rename it as per the article. Odin i then select ap and point it at the location and it just wont find it. Odin 3.10.7 and windows 7 and windows 10
