Extracting files from KDZ

HI,
I am trying to get an apk from a KDZ file. I can open up the KDZ but then there are many other files inside. I guess the apks are in one of these other files. Does anyone know how to get the apk from within .img files etc?
Thanks

How you extracted KDZ?

Why don't you get it from the sapps module zip on void's rom?

I need a particular app from the Orange UK ROM - the app is called Signal Boost and it is for UMA calling.
Is that app in the ROM you mention?

What you need is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6303911&postcount=827
It allows you to decompress system.mbn (where all the files are).
Compile it under linux, or use cygwin.
Remember that official ROMs are odexed. If you want to deodex apks, you can use dsixda's excelent kitchen. It is used to make lots of ROMs you see around here.
For that, take a look here (you can also use it under cygwin):

If you understand portuguese, or use a translator, check these:

Most info was gathered from xda forums, only translated and organized to portuguese folks.

Many thanks, I will see if I can get anywhere with this.

You just need to compile unyaffsmbn (gcc unyaffsmbn.c -o unyaffsmbn).
Then copy system.mbn to unyaffsmbn folder. Then do:
./unyaffsmbn system.mbn
You'll have all files extracted in few seconds.
Then if you want to use those files in kitchen, do this:
First install kitchen, as explained in link i posted above.
Delete all symlinks in bin/ (i think there are 52)
Then you must create a zip file with this structure:
/boot.img
/system/ (here you put all the files you extracted. You should have 10 folders and 1 file)
Now just copy this zip to PATH_TO_KITCHEN/original_update/
Then run it with:
cd PATH_TO_KITCHEN
./menu

Right I have three system.mbn files named:
system.mbn_0
system.mbn_1
system.mbn_2
I have tried a few tools (under Windows) to extract them. Firstly a windows compiled version of unyaffs which falls over with : Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=61100F73
I then tried another version which didn't error but also didn't do anything!
A different tool errored with "the header states that its binary is longer than the whole file" which makes me think perhaps these three files need combining into one?
I have tried combining them into one file using the copy /b command in Windows which creates a single large file but I still have the same issues trying to unpack it.
Any more ideas? Thanks

Right have now installed Cygwin and managed to extract the files using unyaffsmbn! Thanks for all your help, learnt a lot today!

How did you decompress kdz? I use LG Utils to extract to dz, then dzdecryptor to decompress dz to individual files. Then i use the tools i named to do the rest of it.
Also i can see that lg utils finds those system*, but puts them together before it ends. Maybe you used different software.
Anyway, i'm glad you managed to work it out

There is unyaffs, and unyaffsmbn. unyaffs also never worked with me.
I've read somewhere that with lg roms we must use unyaffsmbn. Don't remember were i saw it, neither why...

I used LG utils to extract the KDZ, then used DZExtract to expand the .dz file. Then I combined the system.mbn_0,1,2 files using copy /b.
I then used Cygwin and gcc to make unyaffsmbn.exe which then worked on the combined system.mbn file. Managed to get the apk I needed too.

PLease upload unyaffsmbn.exe for me please as i seriously need it.

[Q] (Q) How to collect smart flash flashable file from kdz?

Hi guys, i searched lot, but did not find any proper solution for getting flashable files of smart flash from kdz..
Plz help guys..

Obviously you haven`t searched enough .
I think that you are looking for LGExtract 0.2.1
Tool is in it`s beginning, but from reading I think that it can extract smartflash files from kdz and it is tested on p990 (I haven`t tested it).

k, i tried that, now i got 13 files.
some are img, some fls etc.
but we need only 2 files for flashing with smartflash tool. bin and fls.
how to get them ?

As I said, I haven`t tried to do this, hence I can`t help you. You will must to read and ask for support in original thread, where the author of the tool is present.
If you are trying to flash kdz and since LG have changed their politics, try to read this thread too... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781

Hi all,
first, thank you Memhis, the tool is excellent. It works under Linux too in Wine environment.
But I have some observations and some questions
- first decrypt/decompile KDZ file only extract a CAB file - this CAB file can be extracted by cabextract utility
- after CAB file extraction, there is WDB file and machine specific DLL - this DLL file must be used for extraction of WDB, I try the newer one without success
- after performing extraction of WDB using DLL there are number of files which can be useful
AENEAS_FW.fls, psi.fls, R375_SIC.fls, slb.fls - these files are the baseband and can be flashed using smart flash tool - it must be flashed all, not only some
#_Split_Data.img - after joining this file to one, it contains Linux filesystem (now EXT3) with all data of /system partition and you can get lge-ril.so from this
The remaining files I don't identify and only speculate what is it
ext3_flashboot.img - this filesystem is used to boot for flashing???
fastboot.bin - ???
recovery.img - recovery partition - this images is used to replace ClockWorkMod I think
Once again, many thanks. I was searching for this similar tool about six moths ago.

can you tel me,how do you extract the split_data.img??
at this point i have no idea what i must do and find nothing about it.

There is nothing to "extract" from split_data.img. It is a true EXT3 Linux filesystem. You have to use a Linux box or something to allow mount an Linux image to Windows environment. I can only point you to http://www.ext2fsd.com/ site which is free good ext2/3/4 filesystem driver, but I don't know, if it is usable - it can mount a Linux partition under Windows but don't know it can mount a image file as disk. Hope so.

Thanks for the information, but I can't extract Split_Data.img (it's the joined file of 4 .img files).
How can I extract this .img in Linux (virtual machine)?

You have to mount it, like it is a whole filesystem. Google it to find out how to mount img file. Once done, you'll open it like a hard drive.

Edit: Forget my question, it works now!
My last question: Is the file "ext3_flashboot" the same as the boot.img files in CWM roms?

OK, I managed to extract the kdz file and I made a rebuild of V20c without flashing the kdz, just with extracting!
I'll upload it in a few minutes!

For those who wants to extract KDZ I prepare a little manual...

Hi Keltek, thanks for the manual. but i am getting some error, any ideas? I'm using Win 7 32-Bit. This is the error:
C:\>LGExtract -kdz V20F_00.kdz
Extracting:
KDZ: V20F_00.kdz
Failed to create cab file.
Error code: 00000005
Message: Access is denied.
Failed to extract file.
Please report this error with this file.
thanks
NEVER MIND: cmd.exe should "Run as Administrator", it works now.

The last question I have is how to join the 4 extracted baseband files to one file?
Does that work with copy /b command?

What i got from flashing basebands is that youre supposed to flash them one by one from largest to smallest file. so basically what you should be doing to "compress" the procedure is you unpack those 4 files, put the largest one in place and copy the others onto it, replacing duplicates. Then repackage what you merged, and try that, cant think of anything more logical than that.

That sounds logical, but I don't know how to extract the files.
But it's not very important, because it isn't a problem to flash 4 files instead of one.

Please extract Bb from v20h rohan

If you give me the link to the kdz, I will extract the baseband for you.

You should specify from which ROM file, coz there are many version with same identification but different content - I don't understand why LG do this - the V20q for Czech Republic is not the same as V20q for Italy...
I take a look at V20h and it contain 1035.21_20110725 BaseBand.

[firmware] v10a lgp880 europe open

Here the first firmware of the lg p880, in my file there are the .kdz and the .dz with its .dll that I extracted from the .kdz. Only problem, I do not manage to extract the .dz, if somebody could advance the thing.
A thanks takes 2s and I hope that one will be able to use that for our optimus 2x.

Hey,
welcome back, spica. Now you can see I can make my own kernels.
I already tried to extract this firmware (it's on the server for a week now), but I don't get managed to extract it... It's not like in our O2X.
After extracting .kdz, you get a .dz file. I tried dz extractors I found, but I can't extract the dz file.
Maybe there's someone having more knowledge about these things?

I'd appreciate a feedback from you for my latest v1.2 Kernel. It's with my flix toolchain. The link is in my signature.
B2T: I don't know very much about blocks, converting, extracting etc. Extracting O2X firmwares is easy, just .img files.
I hope for a big community for the O4X because of this.

It may sound really stupid and I don't know **** about this subject but just want to think with you guys and maybe help a little. Maybe you can rename the .dz file to .img and then do the normal thing. Don't know if it works and you probably tried it already so...

I don't think renaming can convert a .dz to .img.

YEEAA ! spica's back gone for a few days only but seemed like a month xD.
and now its time for a silly question, what is the use of a optimus 4x hd firmware to us ? (besides some wallpapers ringtones and apps i guess)
edit: flix you can still try it, since it may be exatcly like that, maybe its the same container only renamed to .dz cant hurt to try after renaming the program might be able to access it

I tried to mount the file, it doesn't work.
But here's the system dump of the Optimus L7 (not by me, I was too late ):
http://jumbofiles.com/j6bnobsck4se
It should do the same good things to us. I already extracted the ringtones, wallpapers and icons of it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635301

It is not terrible if one does not manage to extract the .dz.
An extraction would make it possible to see optimizations of the o4x and thus to use that in the o2x.
Only the total interface of the o4x for Rom stock o2x.

I wasn't able to extract anything either. The usual tools just won't work and even some strange Korean exe files from Google didn't help.
@flix: I hear you're called extraction superman... do you have any idea how to extract a p990 Baseband from a kdz file into a SINGLE fls file? I can extract them into 4 fls files, Paul OB had a way of getting a single fls file but I couldn't find any method for that :-(

I tried that, too. Obviously, it works with the "copy \b" command like the .img files but I didn't try such a copied baseband yet. But you could try it at your own risk.

How to install firmware in developer devices?

My friends,
Some colleagues like to flash and restore roms too in developer devices (not for sale) like all did with KDZ updater everyday.
The question is: If KDZ isn't working with developer devices, then how we can flash it? How can we unlock it?
I discovered some things:
1 - KDZ is a encrypted file.
2 - Developers device has unlocked bootloader.
3 - I've tried many ways to flash kdz in this device, but it never concludes the process, never worked. It stops on "wparam=2010 iparam=18". There are diferents parameter varyating for each developer phone.
4 - We have to discover a new way to flash in this device, or we can decrypt the KDZ file.
*BINGO!* I DIT IT!
How to FLASH and Unbrick LG P880 Developer Edition
This procedure applies only for the initial LG P880 Developer Edition.
But how to know if your device is this version?
First, remove the back cover of your device and search for the words "not for sale". Then (if your phone still works), go to settings> about phone> Software Version. If the version of your device starts with the code V09a, V09b, V09c, etc. - This is a sign that your phone is the developer version!
This means you can not flashing KDZ files through the official LG updater. Even if you download the file separately, the only thing you will achieve is to brick your phone.
But our problems are over! I came to save you!:thumbup:
Procedure:
First, download the KDZ file of your choice here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Second, download this firmware pack with DZ. File and proper .DLL File: http://bayfiles.com/file/bRZx/AZaxbu...GP880.v10A.rar
Third, download this drivers:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...er-4.10(2).zip
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/data/L...in7_LGEAll.zip
Fourth, download LG Flash Tool:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzqr0gsw8u9erxl
We will definitely erase any record of your device. Unlike the KDZ method, this one makes a "ULTRA HARD RESET". Our device is not registered as selling model, yet the hardware is identical to the model of the consumer. We'll do the flash rom, and also unlock the device so that it is compatible with the KDZ flasher once and for all!
Once you’ve downloaded all the archives, let’s begin. Go to victory.
1. Extract “LGFlashTool 1.2” and instal "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.2.45.921.exe"
2.Replace the file LGFlashTool.exe into C:\LG\LGFlashTool ( You will crack the software with this )
3. Extract and Install “OMAPFlashInstaller-4.10(2).zip”
4.Exract “LGUnitedModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.7_All_Wi n7_LG EAll.zip” and Install“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_ 1. 0 .exe ” and“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0 .exe ”
5. Turn Off phone, Remove your phone’s SIM and SD cards.
6.Press and hold voll up button in LG P880.
7. When you holding “voll up button” connect the USB cable.
8.When computer detects the new hardware (Omap4430) release “voll up button”.
9. Install the Driver.
10.After Driver installation, go to device manager and change the port “LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT” to “com41″.
11. Run LGFlashTool.
12.In DLL select the proper DLL file you’ve downloaded.
13. In S/W select only the proper DZ. File you’ve downloaded.
14.Choice (Check) “USB” and click OK.
15. Click on Port COM settings(COM plug icon) and select "1" ( Unmark the numbers above )
16. Click start(The Port 1 window should appear READY).
17.Disconnects USB cable and wait 5 seconds.
18. Press and hold voll up button in Lg P880 and connect USB cable.
19.The update process will begin automatically after that release the “vol up”.
20. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the phone will power on and boots automatically!
21. Done! You did it!
22. Now go and flash a KDZ file as your choice using KDZ updater! Your phone was’nt more a developer phone! We transformed it on a consumer phone edition! Wow!
Id like to thanks all if you!
And dont forget to thanks hitting the "thanks" button!

But Xavier, thats easy... every time you select "start upgrade" in R&D Test Tool (after you choose a .kdz file) it generates a .cab file.
You just need to extract what's inside of the V10x.cab ... it will be a .dz file and the .dll, in this case "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9"
I didn't explore a lot that "OMAPFlashInstaller" yet, not a lot of time for that now
Just a curiosity, the .dz file extracted from a V10f_00.kdz is good as well, or needs to be exactly the V10a_00.kdz?
Thanks

- V10A_00.kdz
- X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll
Like I mentioned before, to have a .dz file it's just needed the .kdz file.
Once that you'll need it to flash, it's enough when you download the .kdz that you want.

TechGR, you don't need that!
Grab the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe (R&D Test tool) select the KDZ file that you want to install in your phone, hit the "Start Upgrade" and the programe will creat in the same folder where you have the "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" a .cab file. Even if you don't connect the phone, nothing...
As soon as you see that cab file in the folder, use winRAR to extract the DZ file and the DLL.
The "kdz-update" that I provide here:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-udpate.html
Arghhhh again

Ok, I tried that, but it did not make any CAB file. However, I decrypted the KDZ using the same tool, and I ended up with a .dz file and a .dll file. I suppose these are the files I need
Well, I followed the tutorial from the first post exactly, except I used the two files I extracted. When I get to step 16 and I click Start, the port 1 does not appear ready (nothing happens).
I'm sure we're gonna sort it out soon, I gotta run now.

Well, I followed the tutorial from the first post exactly, except I used the two files I extracted. When I get to step 16 and I click Start, the port 1 does not appear ready (nothing happens).
I'm sure we're gonna sort it out soon, I gotta run now.

[Q] How to get a .dz file to a .wdb file

Hey,
After a lot searching i have extract my .kdz file to 2 different files. a .dll and a .dz file. I am searching how can i get those files working in the Smartflashtool. Sow i need a app bin and a CP bin, On this moment i need to know how can i get those files?
- Can i extract a .kdz to a .wdb and .dll sow after that i can extract those to app bin and cp bin?
- Can i extract a .dz file after that compile it to .wdb and do the first step again?
- Is it possible to get from the .dz file also the app bin and the cp bin?
Wrong section sorry

1)
kdz is a archive format, you can't choose what you get out of it. (It's like saying I want a image out of that random zip file)

Ask novassoc He said some time ago he's working on dz files.
It should already be possible to extract dz file though, Check on the Optimus G forum.
I don't know to what it extracts possible bin/fls.

Again I don't know to what it extracts and if or if not it's possible to revert to dz format. Should be possible.

I can give you lot more info about bin files if your interested, but you'd have to ask novassoc about kdz and wdb.
If dz decompiles to bin/fls then you should be able to create the dz file again, but after extracting the bin/fls file you should not create a bin/fls file again. It's possible, but it could kill your phone since emergency recovery usually relies on first or second stage bootloader and the bin/fls files overwrites it when flashing it on your phone and if something goes wrong.

Thanks, Let we say we have the next files from different phones like the lg L5 e610 it has as firmware files a .dz and a .dll i know the .kdz files haves those files from those firmware. and also when it isnt a .kdz file its possible to encrypt it to .kdz
You know a lot about bin files. What contains a App.bin and a CP.bin when you use it for the SmartFlashTool. Because i wanne try to get from the Firmware files like ( .kdz or .dll or .dz) a app.bin and cp.bin,

Yes. There is already a tool somewhere to create kdz archive (One of LG's ones, you just have to use WindowsEnabler to get the option)
The bin file (AP) is basically a collection of data blocks and each data blocks usually correspond to partitions on the device.
The first meg is the header which contains the info about all the data blocks
like size on file,offset on file,size on device,offset on disk etc.
The layout of the header seems to be different for each phone. You can identify what type of bin file it is from it's magic number.
Then after the header the data blocks are just appended to the file. Doesn't have to be since the header allows there to be gaps and overlapping data blocks, but thats not practical so it will probably never be any other way.
You can check my tool for extracting bin files here. You can get alot more info on exactly how it's set out in my git by reading the sources.
I don't know to much about the fls file (CP) besides that it does a raw write of everything after what appears to be the header to somewhere in my phones nv partition and contains baseband information.

Thanks, but still i am thinking why are there extractors for the kdz-> to cab -> to.wdb and .dll -> to App bin and CP bin but not from the kdz-> to cab -> .dz and .dll -> to App bin and CP bin.
is there sow big difference between the .dz and .wdb

I don't know much about what your talking here. I know that the complete firmware from LG comes in a v....kdz package. I know that ...cab containers are Microsoft's preferred format (something like ...zip or ...rar). I know ...bin stands for a lot BINary data files. I know that ...dll stands for Dynamic Data Library. That APPlications are often called app ...
... and I have the feeling that a lot different things are mixed together here. Sure xonar knows what he is talking about but the rest sounds like not much clue and the rest filled up with things you heard somewhere.

Let me try to explain a litle for y.
You know that a kdz file contains a cab file. Every cab file contains a .dll file.
But not every cab file contains a wdb.
Sow what i need is a wdb file from a cab what doesnt have a wdb file. Or i need a extractor what makes from a .dz file and a .dll file a cp Bin and Ap bin. ( .dz file is the other file what could be in the cab without a .wdb,)
For some more information: When you use the SmartFlashTool. You need 2 files the CP Bin and AP bin.
You can use a extractor to get from a KDZ file a wdb and .dll file. ( From those its possible to create the CP Bin and AP bin)
But when you dont have de WDB file but you have a .DZ file then i cant create a CP bin and AP bin.
thats the problem. Sow now how can i fix that

Have you tried
DZ-Creator / DZ-Decrypter
or
DZTools
If that fails then you have to reverse engineer your dz file yourself.
The DZ file can't be converted to bin/fls from the looks of it. That is if your dz file is similar to the dz file in the KS20.
That dz file is a collection of data blocks much like the bin file, but they aren't interchangable and I don't think SFT will work with them.

OKey sow if i understand this correctly is the .dz a kind of like the bin file. If i read correctly on this forum the wdb is also a collection off files like a zip file.
I think your are right it isnt possible to replace the .dz for a .wdb sow i can flash it in the SFT

Yes.
I don't think it's possible to flash dz file to your phone with SFT.

Thanks for the answers, i know its possible with the kdz flasher but that tool isnt real stable and doesnt do a factory reset after the flash. it must be manual then.
