I've tried winrar, 7zip and the stock windows 10 file explorer to extract the zip file . Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

As far as I'm aware the update for pie beta should be installed via stock recovery. It is not a Odin flashable file

And this is why I suggested you not try the upgrade. Very easy, and I mean, very ease to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing.

Because you don't flash the oneui. You put the update.zip file on your external sd card, power off your phone, while powered off - press and hold the bixby button, press and hold the volume up button, continue holding them and press and hold the power button until you get into the recovery screen. Continue to follow the instructions on the page you linked to me...but these instructions were one that page.

Right there is no full rom for one ui yet. you can odin clean to the latest oreo update but then you must flash from sd or sideload from pc to apply the one ui update.

Welcome Finally You have made it here. Well now I know that you are little worried bout your phone but Let me tell you that there is noting to worry about.
Make sure you are relaxed because if you are tensioned than you will most likely screw things up. Do me a favor and watch this video. Relax get beer or Watch Funny videos on Youtube.
“Never ever unplug your phone when you are Flashing”
Drivers You will need!
! Odin 1.85
!! USB Drivers
!!! Skyrocket Stock Recovery.tar file ATT Or Rogers
Extract the contents of odin-185.zip and the 7zip archive.
Run Odin3+v1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
Install Usb Drivers and Unzip the Recovery file and put it to safe place.
Main Process.
Try to get in Download Mode.

Finally You have made it to Download mode.
If in case this does not work for you than and you are still luck enough to go into CWM than do factory reset and flash any stock rom. And do all this steps again.
Ok so after getting into Download Mode.
-Go ahead and Go to Odin (Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options).
--In Odin check PDA and find the recovery.tar file that you downloaded.
Now Press Start (Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.)
When you are done Your screen will look like one below.
It should now reboot to recovery and delete cache and data. Then, it will boot.

LG L9 P769 Home button not responding

Hi. recently I have been trying to change the android_id, and ran into a problem in the process. i resulted to editing the setings.db file. since then after i fixed permissions, and restarted, now the home button doesn't respond. I know it isn't a hardware issue because when i press it the LED lights still respond by blinking when I push it, but that's it. please anyone? this is a gift

Restoring the file should get it working as usual. If you don't just re flash your ROM. That's the only way I knit that will fix it. Or open your ROMs .zip. Locate the file and push it to your phone.

ok, I cant flash a new rom because i cant figure out how to connect unlock the boot loader. so where in the zip would be the setings.db file? so i can push it to the phone

I'm not sure, I don't own a lg.
Just open up a file explorer in your phone. Then just type in the search "settings.db" and it should should the file. Up the top it shows you what folder its in. Then just a find a ROM or stock ROM you're using then find it in that, then push the file to the destination in your phone using adb.

Maybe you use titanium to remove some development install. Here is it, on my phone

how can i fix it ?
Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?
What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.
How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??
Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.
this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.

Press Volume - & Home & Power for ~30sec then phone must automaticlly reboot, then when you will see Samsung logo directly really fastly move finger from Volume - to Volume + but still holding that other two buttons. You must get in to recovery menu if you had flashed it before. Then flash again ROOT or full-wipe and just clean install another ROM+ROOT ofcourse. If you did fully unroot via SuperSU then that's can be why now system don't started

S8+ Bricked while rooting

I know, I know. I´m a stupid c*nt.
So I booted in download/odin mode, loaded TWRP onto it. Touchscreen wouldn´t work. Rebooted into download mode/screen again, loaded default firmware on it because TWRP wouldn´t work.
Now it only shows this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(found picture on the internet).
Can´t turn it off, I only can reboot it by holding down ´Power+Volume down´.
Emergency recovery / Device initialization in SmartSwitch doesn´t work.
Model is SM-G955F - S8+
Is there anything that I can do now besides buying a new phone?
Alright, I found out that I can reset the phone using Odin3 and a .tar
Keep this thread as archive in case someone needs it in the future.
Hello, same problem, can you please describe you did step by step?

Just connect your phone to your PC, open Odin, load a .tar file into AP (e.g. twrp .tar file) and click start. Should automatically restart the phone and fix the problem.
Remove hidden.img from the md5 file. The error you are getting is because the modem.img isnt flashed. You van use 7zip to edit the files.
Sorry im not at home atm so cant tell which file it is.
