Hi team.
I am new to customizing ROM/firmware. I downloaded the official rom which is rootable and unlockable with bootload.
The official ROM has two ".bin" files "HLTE202N_1.bin" and "HLTE202N.bin".
Does anyone know which software can open/unzip them? I want to delete preinstalled apps and install my apps into it and finally zip them into ".bin" file and then flash them into the phone? Thanks.
ROM can be downloaded here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JBzsFrtGtIXLYTPTMA2cc9spp_dxF_WX
Thanks!

Hi all,
I am just wondering how can I update an app in the Gapps-signed package?
There is a newer version of this app from Google and I have downloaded the signed APK from Google.
I suppose I cannot just simply delete the older package within the zip archive and put this newer one in there and name it the same name as the older one?
I want to have this newer package installed when I have installed a new rom.
Any help is really apreciated, many thanks!
Hello, I downloaded the official rom as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300622 but I can't open it with any zip program in windows. Anyone has an alternate download link?
I've had a little experience with ZTE, but what I had wasn't good. Anyway, what is the particular reason you need to open the ROM on your phone itself?
If you want to install the ROM, you need to install custom recovery, and install (flash) via the recovery menu.
If you just want to open the .zip file for whatever reason, I recommend Zarchiver. It hasn't failed me yet.
Hello First sorry for my bad English. I have this file I8262XXBNC1_I8262ODDNC1_I8262DDNB1_HOME.tar a official firmware. can i use this to make a custom rom. I know that i can use a rom from this forum to change but i want to this project for fun, I opened it with winrar those files(photo below) and i saw that i need more files to do that. What you suggest to do?
Don't know well!!! But I think you can... just extract the firmware and found the "system" folder from there!!!
Press the Thanks button!!!
From my research i saw how to extract the files from the system but no way how to make one file again. I did that and i bricked my phone so i install again original firmware with odin.
If you have a pc... then use apktool to make and edit your rom!!!!
Or,
If you don't have a pc.. then install apktool in your device!!!
Install sygwin if you're on windows, then download dsixda kitchen or archi kitchen. Make it compatible for your phone and there you go...making flashable zips from official firmware with root, deodex, init.d etc.

Hi All,
I'm looking for a windows utility, that can edit, customize and update an existing rom...
Basically, I am trying to tweak a Chinese rom to make it more INTERNATIONAL... However I'm not seeing many Windows (GUI) Apps that can do this, and if there is, they've been discontinued at ICS or earliest JB build.
Does anyone know an updated tool that can help me with this please...??
PhilzTouch is supposed to support this, but the package didn't work either...
Thanks, Lister

Philz touch is a recovery, not a ROM editing utility
Hi @DSA,
Yeah I'm aware it's a recovery, as I use it on my Note. However when I've tried to research looking for one of these Apps, some people suggested (and have seen in past, on unrelated topics) that with PhilzTouch you can clone your existing LIVE OS, and package it up to a Flashable Zip.
Well it did create a flashable zip, and it even puts it in a folder called "Custom Roms" which is based on a "Update.zip" file, even though it has a different name... However it doesn't flash, and when opened the file, it has .TAR files included and not a normal rom package.
So yeah, struggling to find anything that works... I came close to building/porting a rom earlier, however I received FCs afterwards...
Thanks, Andy

adb pull /system then zip with 7zip or winrar you will also need to make an updater script and updater binary for your device. with correct blocks so that the rom flashes correctly. so, you need to search for how to create an updater binary for your device and the correct blocks for data, system, and boot img. for your device. if cm has one for your device, you can usally download their rom zip and put all your info you pulled using adb into their zip deleting their's but note you will need your boot image to be pulled also which i do not know how to do
Hi guys, i have a question...
Is possible create a custom rom (remove vendor apps) from XXXXXXXX.tar.md5 file downloaded from sammobile and make your own tar.md5 flasheable Odin file?
For example:
Original firmware:
XXXXXX.tar.md5
1.5 Gb
Removing vendor apps:
XXXXXX_my_firm.tar.md5
800 mb
I am interested in doing this without custom recovery, not zip flashable file, and not root.

Yes, you can do this, but things have changed a bit since this guide was written, you'll have to do some research to see what things have changed in this process from kit kat up to the current available android version. There have been some stock security changes that this guide doesn't cover and won't work with these new securities, but you should be able to figure out how to make this work with those securities if you learn to look in the right places.

This will help you create the .tar, you'll just have to figure out how to make the changes you want to make. You'll mostly be working with your system.img once you get it extracted.
