[Q] do i need to open the rar file? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello i just wanted to know if you have to actually open the rar file for xrecovery v01 or can i copy the whole file to my phone.because its a rar file i cant find a free program that opens it.so if any of you noticed if you have watched technewsweekly's vid on how to install xrecovery i noticed he had to open the file.plz answer soon!!!

somebody???

yes u need to unrar that file so u'll get 3 files then u cope them to phone... if u got x8 then u need to download xRecovery-mini 0.1-beta cuz as far i know other version wont work... to unrar it u can use for example winrar

rar is something like zip.
i use winrar to extract them.

Late end to the thread but I now use an open source program called something like rare file open knife its awesome

7zip for Kaiser

Does anyone know of a 7zip extractor for windows mobile? I'm dying to use Anryl's 6.5 roms but I'm having a hard time getting them out of the .7z format.
Thanks in advance.

I usually unzip from my computer, then drag the cab files over.
7zip has a website see if they have a mobile phone edition there.

The file you uploaded looks like 7zip for Windows, not Windows Mobile. I checked the 7zip website and there's a mobile version there, but it hangs on my Tilt when I start the extraction process. It ends up saying that I need to close some programs to free up memory, then soft resets.
You can try Xplore (from LonelyCatGames). I believe it handles 7z too, but haven't tried .. I used it for Zip and RAR ok.
However, I'd rather extract the ROM on PC and put the NBH to memory card. Doing so on your phone takes a very long time due to size ..
Xplore doesn't support 7zip. I totally agree with you - I'd much rather be unzipping on my pc then transferring to my phone but I have a mac at home that just doesn't play nice with my Win Mobile phone. This usually causes me to forget about flashing the new OS when I get home from work...

I don't know how this helps me. I guess I already knew that 7zip could be installed on my pc...
Thanks google translate!

I'm pretty sure that's the one that I've already tried - it installs fine and starts ok, but once I try to extract anything it asks for a task to close, then soft-resets.
I think you will find the file is simply too large to be handled & unzipped with available free memory.
I have used 7-zip a few times & it has worked ok but they were probably quite small in size compared to your ROM image file.
The task needs to be handled on a PC.
Can't find it either
A while ago I looked for a 7zip app myself. Never could really find one that worked.
Here's all the information I could find:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=69426 Some russian form which supposedly has a 7zip app. This page is linked to from 7-zip.org
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462193 This is the only real post on xda I could find by searching. It seems to just have the same app as the one from the russian form. There is a WWE version of the app though. I couldn't actually get either of the versions of the app to work though. So try it yourself I guess.
If anyone does have a nice 7-zip app, I'd be glad to know of it though.

Yeah, I saw the same posts. It seems like Mister B is right, there just isn't enough RAM for the PPC version of 7zip to work on the Kaiser. Hopefully there's a developer out there with our same problem...
found this 7zip for mobile. works on my pure.

[Q] How Do I Remove The Anime Wallpaper In Gingercruzt 8.1?

Exactly what the title says...so please help me
Am I right when I say that you´ve wrote this with your X8?
Becasue there is no ROm called "fingerprint", and because your phone didn´t recognize the name, it just changed it to "fibgerprint", a word from the dictionary that was the most similar to it.
To answer your question:
Go to your homescreen/one of your homescreens, search a free place (that means, that there are no widgets or links to apps, just the background.
Then, put your finger on that free place and leave it there for 2 seconds.
Then, a windows should pop up, that asks you what you want to add to your homescreen.
Choose:"Background image" and then choose another from your gallery/the CM-background images/the live wallpaper gallery and add another one.
Sorry...i wrote the wrong sentence...i was talking about the Anime wallpapers in gingercruzt..that is disturbing...i just need some good Rom not a Rom with pictures like that...can you help me?i want them gone forever...something like deleting lib or anything....and yeah....im using my phone
you can find the wallpapers inside /system/media/wallpapers
you have two options for delete
1- using root explorer or any other file explorer with root permission from inside your phone
2- open the updateGCR8.1 Rom file from your PC with winrar and point to the wallpapers and right click delete "do not extract just right click open" then update it through recovery as you did when installing on your phone
Default one will stay anyway, it is in resources
Just load any wallpaper/s from market.

Unfortunately that didn't work.
Is file on your phone or computer? What zip program do you use on your computer?
File on computer....tried WinRAR and 7zip.
I know you can open it in winzip and then do a save as and save it as a zip file. Not sure that will help.
Did you use the convert feature in WinRAR?
Is the download corrupt?
I'll try Winzip now see what happens.
WinZip failed too...any help?
What exactly is failing?

"Cannot open file. Does not appear to be a valid archive".
Sounds like it's corrupt. Download again.
Downloaded multiple times...that's why I'd like it if anyone could link me a good file :/
Cmon guys I seriously need help I can't use my phone!
Download playground and kernel and reflash.
I cannot flash the kernel...because I'm on S-OFF and I need to adb push the Wifi module driver...now to do that I need to change the name of the file in the zip. But I can't access the zip...
But isn't the Wifi module in the rom? If you are s-off, download the rom via computer, copy to sd card and flash. Do the same with the kernel. Unless I'm missing something.
The file isn't for unpacking as I remember you just need to edit the filename and remove the .7z extension and copy it over the current one.
It should only be S-ON users that had to do this as I remember too.

Hmm I thought the filename I had to edit was in the actual zip. Thanks...
You can't just rename a 7zip file you need to extract and than re-compress the files into a zip file.

[Q] kdz opens with notepad huh?

had a problem unzipoping V20C kdz. fooled around and tried opening it with notepad. now when i download another kdz no matter which one it saves as a winrar file that opens with notepad. if you get what im talkin about maybe you can help? even after i fix that(it will fix if i reset my computer! but would rather not ) i still dont know why i couldnt unzip the files in the first place. got the downloads from very reliable resources found on this site.
U have to right click a and then left click on open with... the choose what program to open it with kdzs ushally arnt zipped
Don't forget to click the little checkbox close to the bottom of the window after you select the right program to open it with. Something like "Use this as my default program for this file type". If you don't the change won't stick and you will have to right click on the file, and open program with every time.
