A few weeks ago i opened a bin file to extract the wallpaper .
Now for the life of me i cannot remember what tool i used . Compounded by a reinstall of windows since then .
Actual file is a part of firmware ROM namely modem.bin .
Any ideas ?

MagicISO did the job for me.
Thought i used an ISO program but they all report cannot open modem.bin .
Invalid or unknown image file format happens on a number of Rom files .

Yes. I want a tool to open modem.bin too. Have you found the software? What is it? Can you share with me?
Kinda bumping this thread...
Any progress on how to open "modem.bin"?
Hello,
After so much time of no one figuring out how the bcm21533 overclocks, and after I examined the kernel sources and found nothing, I started thinking the override that blocks frequencies over 832mhz was outside of the kernel
So if you unzip a firmware, you'll find that BcmCP.img is the only file that is not "vanilla android" for so to say. And "Bcm" really suggests it's part of broadcom
I tried to extract or mount the file but I have no idea what filesystem it is
I think there might be a chance that this file might have an override because if you search 00b20c00 you get 2 matches. But you don't really know what's going on until you figure out how to extract BcmCP.img
So that's why I posted this thread. Maybe someone can figure out how to open this img file :victory:.
If no one does i'll still try to find it myself but I could use some help from people that know more than me about android
stupid question, i know....
but you know you have to use a linux distro?
Yes. I dont know what filesystem is it though

You need this to unpack :
[KITCHEN] Android Kitchen, v0.211 [Linux / Mac / Windows]

Did you manage to find how to unpack it?

Did you just flash an update .zip that included the boot.img and the recovery.img?!
Im pretty sure that you should not do that!
Why are the the 2 Ste_boot. imgs being flashed to the same location? or there in the first place?
From the info you posted above it seems like the Partitions are pretty much messed up.
If you cant get into download mode then there is no way you can fix it.
I ended up having a brick from a CWM touch recovery (not yours) I couldn't fix and I ended up flashing stock everything and rerooting.

I can reboot into download mode and i can flash rom stock or other I have lost internal disque ( is shown but with no exacte size I have -100000000 in size for the internal storage if i can flash with an full erras this can fix ?

Do not format your device with any tools if you don't know what they do.
The device has a single flash chip, repartitioned into several Partitions, if you attempt to format you will format the partition table, then the device will require a new motherboard.
Those 3 files are separate partitions instead of one tar, quite common in other devices.
I would try to repackge the original images into separated tars,something like this....
boot.img as boot.tar
modem bin as phone.tar
cache.image as csc.tar
system.img and all remaning .img files, as pda.tar
then flash the all together via odin with repartition.

i will make tomorrow as soon once i have time, problem is my upload speeds are atrocious .like 6 hours to upload 500mb.
I'm unable to figure out how to convert the boot.bin file I extracted from the firmware.kdz file. Magic iso won't convert the bin file to img file. So do I just change the extension from .bin to .img? Something tells me it's not that simple.
Btw I'm asking because I'm trying to build a rom. So I'm gonna need this boot.img to be able to boot in my rom. Any help is appreciated.
Or if someone could point me in the right direction for pulling the boot.img from my phone with adb, that would work too. All the guides I found are for different devices with different partition names. And a lot of the commands aren't working for me.

Did it work, or not? I have the same question.
If you have root you can use app 'Partitions Backup & Restore' by Wanam from app store to pull any partition from your phone.

Not sure, but check your VM settings in terms of allotted memory, etc. Might be one reason for issues with larger files.
Give 7-zip a try.

Ah, I thought you were still in VM from the other thread... Still, I've only ever done this through linux, windows usually gave me too many headaches. Will post back if I find another suggestion.
