Hi guys, I'm trying to use flashtool for the first time in order to downgrade my phone so that I can root my phone. I have been following the video that is posted in the rooting guide & am stuck on the downloading of flashtool part!
I have downloaded it fine but problem is, i only have a shortcut to flashtool & no folders like in the video? In this case, how would i copy & paste the required ftf file into the firmware folder when all i have is a shortcut to it?
Sorry for the noob question!
Hope someone can help me quick, I'm going insane! Thanks
Nevermind, please delete this, problem solved!

Okay here is my problem I followed the following tutorial step by step until I got to step 7
addictivetips.com/mobile/install-gingerbread-based-miui-custom-rom-on-samsung-captivate/
After getting to that step they tell you to download cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar
from
sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/
I have searched everywhere for it and have come up with noting. I tried downloading the .zip file for it but odin doesn't take. zip files it only takes .tar .md5 etc..
If this is the right place to find this file please tell me how to go about getting the file. If someone can be so generous as to give me some in depth insite I would be very grateful. I am really lost right now and have my phone stuck in download mode as to not brick it.
Again thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help me find this file.
BTW I have a samsung captivate if that helps any. oh and sorry for the inconvenience of not posting a direct link. since im new here I am not allowed to post links.
Whats in the zip files
Does it contain he files you need
I am not quite sure what you mean when you say does it contain the files I need. But if you are talking about if I have all the files and completed alll the steps in the tutorial then yes I have.
I just cannot find the file mentioned in the tutorial that is called cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar........ I really need someone to point me in the right direction as far as this file goes?
Someone please help me it's been 8 hours that I have my phone in dowload mode as to not brick it. I just need this file... PLEASE HELP
Can someone please reply... I really need to use my phone again. I CANNOT MAKE PHONE CALLS... PLEAS E HELP ME
Try changing the zip extension to tar if that's what it's supposed to be. If you haven't already, unzip the file and see if what you need is inside.
EDIT: You may also want to check the Captivate forums here.
Why didn't you download everything before starting the process?

Use LG Flash Tool to flash kdz file to your phone. (Assuming your phone is LG)
Try to google “flashing kdz file on your phone model.”
There are a lot of guides out there.
Good luck!
Hey I need your help I wanted to mod a .dll file but I dont have a pc. Is there anyway to do it on Android. please show me if possible
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You'll need a pc to decompile the dll. I also don't recommend anyone mess with their device if you don't have access to a pc. You often need a pc to return it to stock if you mess something up.

I have a Lg g4 h8110h for t mobile. Im trying to root it by low effort root that i got here on XDA.
One of the files is a tar.gz. I downloaded on my computer and i unzip it and i got just a tar. file. The problem comes now. I unziped it with 7 zip as i saw in a tutorial to root this phone with low effort root. I can see on 7 zip othe image file but i cant save it. I doesnt let me move it or copy it or do something with it. When i click it again, it just give me another tar file but that one can be saved. I tried with other files unzzipers like 8 zip and unpacked. No succes yet. Any ideas?

Can you please help me , i readed back my ROM using "SP Flash Tool" , but i forget to extract it with "MTKDroid"
and i know that the program wouldn't extract the file except he reads my tablet "MT6577" (Unknown model and type).
And my mistake was i flashed a wrong ROM to my tablet and it's now half bricked , but "MTKDroid" won't read it and won't decompress the backup (ROM_0) , can anyone please help me solve this serious problem .
I posted this in many different places , it's NOT meant to increase my level , it's just my tablet has bricked (Softbricked) and i need every help from you , thanks
