Motorola .mbn files? - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know how to extract the .mbn files- usually contained within the .sbf files on older Motorola firmware? I believe you can do it using Cygwin and unyaffsmbn but I haven't figured out how yet. Is there any documentation or threads on how to extract these files or the commands for unyaffsmbn? I haven't been able to find anything on this. If anyone can help me please let me know.... Thanks.

How to extract .mbn file (LG GM750/BL40)?

Hi,
I'm new here, and I want to make a custom firmware for my LG BL40. When I extract the .kdz file, there's a dz file. When I extract this file, there are many mbn files (like apps.mbn) and 3 .bin_1/2/3 files. It's the same with the LG GM750.
But how can I extract these .mbn files and the .bin_x files?
Thank you
Felix
is there nobody having an idea?
The little I've found is that mbn is an executable format.
Would seem to need to be decompiled.
I'm not sure on this and still looking around.

you need to use cygwin to extract files from your mbn files.

[Q] .Jar and .Tar files, the .jar files need to be converted to .apk(s)

I recently downloaded a software for my htc sensation 4g, and the software come with 5 files. Two .jar files and three .tar files. In the directions of the software, it said the files had to be converted to .apk format. I got one of the .jar files converted through the website it gave me to use, and I saved it to the root of my sd card. The application installed, but I was required to install j2me. The problem is, I have this other file that needs to be converted from .jar to .apk and I don;t know how to do it because the website will not do it, and I have these .tar files, that I really don't know what to do with, because I didn't think .tar files could be used on android. I checked these .zip files, and they do have the java class files in them.I am just really confused about this, and I hope this is helpful enough to get me some answers. If not, please clarify and maybe, I could help with more info.

[Q] Help with decoding .pak

Hi!
I've been working on a few different game mods over the past few months, and seem to have hit a dead end with particular files.
Namely, a resources.pak file, which I know is a packaged update for the game I am working on. I cannot seem to find anything that will unpack or decompress the file!?
There are a lot of tools out there for .pak files, but all seem to be for Quake Mods, and have specific formats which they expect the .pak file to be in. All of which I have tried have been unable to open / unpack or decompress this file
Has anyone else come across these files? or had any better luck than me in their attempts to get inside the package file??
The .pak file I am trying to unpack can be found at www . dcuonline . co . uk / so / resources.pak (Sorry for the hack, the file is too big to attach, and I don't have enough posts to link directly )
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Sorry to bump this guys.
Is no one able to assist with this?

Update Center apps

Hello everyone, can anyone pull out the LG folders from system/priv_app, upload them somewhere and give me a link? Cause they only ones showing up for me are the LG Backup and Quicksomething.
Or, even better, is there a way for me to pull those apps from the 5.11PR .kdz file?
I think there is a tool to extract to .kdz, but i could be wrong.
Another method might be to grab the pr .img from one of the root threads and extract that?

Yeah, there is, but I've got no idea how to use it properly, it gives me bin files, which I can't open. You might be right with the .img though, gonna give it a try tommorow.

Editing OEMLOGO.MBN

Hi! i want to edit the bootlogo but its in a .mbn format. can someone tell me how to convert this to an image i can simply edit like .png or if its possible, to edit the .mbn itself wthout converting. Thanks in advance
AFAIK, mbns are compressed files. You should look for a way to decompress it.
A quick search shows that you can decompress it using unyaffs (a linux utility).
i dont have linux so i found a unyaffs version for windows but everytime i open it my antivirus triggers and deletes the program. so i redownloaded it and disabled my av. then i opened it again and it froze, had to open taskmanager to shut it down. are there any other ways to use this tool on Windows?
i found another version of unyaffs for windows but now it says "broken image file" replaced the image twice, still didnt work.its not broken as its the same image that is loaded when i boot my phone up. HELP!
well, its finally extracted and edited, but how do i put it back?
