Hi everyone!
I want to edit my stock rom a little -> deodexing files, delete some unused apps...
so i want to edit the stock rom. with my htc desire s it was quite simple by editing the update.zip. but now on the optimus black... :-/ i searched the web for hours an only can find these .kdz files. but i cant unpack it.
is there any possibility to extract the kdz files or find an update zip (p.a. for v10c)
thank you!

Never done this but after some googleing found this:
http://code.google.com/p/arenoid/wiki/KDZExtractPack
Maybe helps.
tank you. but i tried this tutorial before. its only for the lg arena. when i try to open the kdz file via terminal it says "no command for extraction" i think this is because of the different OS on the arena (different flashing method). so no success with this =(
Hello!
I'm trying get some information about the .wdb format, if anyone know something I really like to know about.
For example, the kdb is a crypted cab file, who have inside some other files.
Maybe a .dz and a .dll or a .dll and a .wdb, is there a "third option"?
I heard about CDMA and 3GQTC, it's how this files are "packed"? (in kdz)
I see that KP500 got a .wbd extractor, then, if we extract it, we got 5 different files *.dfat, *.fls and others...
So, what can we do with that files extracted from .wdb, what we won with this?
Can we create custom roms or something like that?
I think this concept work for all the LGE cellphones or almost everyone, right?
Thanks.

You could use [1]TrID to see if it can tell something

Probably inside the wdb there's the files that compose the rom, like the dz which contains the recovery.img, boot.img and so on. LG seems to have changed the decompress process as the KP500 lg utils cant decompress the wdb files. Maybe with the files we could create a new kdz and flash it, just like this tutorial
http://code.google.com/p/arenoid/wiki/KDZExtractPack
It's an encrypted archive that stores the fls file and bin files in multiple parts. It seems the decrypting function is inside the dll that's extracted from the kdz.
Answering my own question.
WDB is a container format, with several pieces of zlib streams, each representing a file, but encrypted.
Like a zip file
Hello
possible way to extract files KDZ?
Thank you
Uhh, the kitchen maybe?

Use LGKS360 Utils it partially works.
It can extract kdz and wdb.
During extraction it at one point it asks for firmware ver - thats it !
I can't go any further bcoz I can't seems to find firmware ver.
But its not impossible to extract CP and AP bin files so that we can use with SFT.
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.
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.

Flix the KDZ Superman is busy with the new Kernels....FLIX are u hearing the calls of the O2X community?
Fly in FLIX.....we are waiting mate
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?

Yes I saw it now and eaget to flash ur kernel
Does it need other tool fot dz:/

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.
The new LG PC SUITE for LGP880 thus I also think compatible for O2X also :
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdat.../RST-1204-00311_LCsetup_5.1.15.20120413_4.zip
The .dll for flash the P880 :

For finish, the name of firmware .bin : LGP880AT-000-V10a-TMO-XXX-MAY-18-2012+0.zip
Please help to recover .
I cannot in which section thus put that if my post is badly placed thank you to move it to me in the good section.
