I searched for and downloaded an apk file but the resulting .rar contained an .exe file instead. This is occurring more and more frequently. Possible to simply change the extension?

Make sure you're downloading the .apk's from a reputable place, no warez here please!
OK... Guys... Understand this..... I do not download warez . Read my post. I use Usenet (UseNetServer) . Now, when I download an .apk binary file (that's news reader folks) it will sometimes be a .rar file containing an .exe file instead of an .apk file.
How do I use that file? It's happening more frequently.

Yes, its happened on past phones also..... Find a different file.
Try astro file manager and under its settings select allow unknown browser downloads or something similar.
Yeah, that happened to me too... you have to use a different web browser other than the default one
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?

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.
Anyone can point a file where ISC Browser saves pages for offline viewing?
It's not a simple file in /sdcard or Download folder...
Please someone could help on this?
Thanks!
I guess nobody at xda-developers knows about this...

I was looking for the same thing - there are no webarchivexml files no where to be found. I need to extract the saved page quick but seems it's nowhere to be found.
It's not on sdcard. It's in phone's root. Here's the path I found mine in.
data/user/0/com .android.browser/app_databases/localstorage/
Look in there
Don't forget to thank if I helped

I can't find there. There are some .localstorage files (sqlite3 db afaik), but can't find my saved pages...
Thread's a bit old ... but just in case it helped someone ...
Android ICS, the browser's save paged is \Android\data\com.android.browser\files\snapshots.db
The links are saved in this file "snapshots.db", look at it using SQLite Database Browser sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net

Hi rufik
I found my saved pages in : /data/data/com.android.browser/files. The ownership is u0_a60:u0_a60, just for your information.
Hello, sorry to open such an old discussion, but has anybody managed to open and view such files on pc? What is the fileformat (yes, I know it's a .gz archive, but I mean the file inside), what application on Windows (or Linux) can open it? Thanks in advance.
When I attempt to download an .mp3, . PDF, .doc (pretty any file) in chrome browser or Android Browser they download in .bin format. The weird thing those is they will still open in the correct program (PDF opens in reader, mp3 opens in music app, etc).
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

Yes I am having the same thing, but im running a transformer pad tf300t. I find sometimes it works by long pressing and saying save link as, but other times not. Any help would be appreciated
What are the sizes of the files you've downloaded? If they are the actual files, just with a wrong extension, you could always rename the extension in a file browser and check. As far as the reason, ..not much help there.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
try downloading it with Chrome browser,
I had the same problem downloading .nzb files with the stock browser, with chrome it was ok
All you have to do is rename it from bin to whatever it is you downloaded. Example, downloaded an mp3 but the file is in .bin, just rename it to (song name).mp3
When I attempt to download an PDF or doc file from any facebook page they are being download in .bin format. The weird thing is that if i try to rename the file name to pdf or doc while downloading it is not helping at all. Any kind of help is appreciated
I have this issue in miui 12 in chrome...not sure what's wrong

exe then it's probably a PC file, or a self extracting file that needs to be undone on a PC then moved to your phone.. or some kind of malware that isn't what you thought it was.
nope, torrents will always be .torrent not .exe file
if u open a .exe on a pc your just looking for trouble. :crying:A torrent is about a target file,
it contains no info about the content of the file. Use trusted popular trusted torrent sites.
www.kickasstorrents.com KickassTorrents is my favorite well used site.
