Dear All,
I have a stock rom backup in .pac which should be flashed through Upgrade Tool.
I want to extract its system folder to port.
Does anyone know how to extract its content?
Thanks and kind regards,
Hi,
I've never heard of that file format. If winrar from the play store, or another zip extractor app can't open in, then it likely only works with the app that created the backup.

Hello everyone,
I have a Chinese clone of a Lenovo P780W (doesn't look like the actualy P780 at all) for which I wanted to find a custom ROM that would work but was unable to do so. I already have CWM recovery on it. Before I started thinkering with it I made a full system backup with some software, but unfortunately it was few months ago so I don't remember which method I used (I am assuming it was ADB but not sure). Anyway, the image is in a zip file and the contents is as below in the screenshot:

My question is, how would I restore it now seeing how my phone won't boot up and CWM won't flash it. I tried ADB Restore and it's asking me to confirm on the phone itself. Is there any other way to do that or repackage that system image to a flashable zip format?
Thanks a lot!
Solved
It turns out this was the CWM backup. I managed to create a flashable zip by grabbing the boot.img, extracting the system.ext4.tar to system, and a META-INF from some random image. I combined it into a zip and it flashed.
Still would be nice to find a proper rom for it. Right now it's ALPS-JB3-MP-V1-6-MOLY, I wonder if a newer version of the ALPS rom would work?
Hi,
Glad you got it solved! As far as further questions, not much on XDA for your device. But you can ask questions here,
