How to extract a ROM file and get .apk files inside - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need some .apk file from my 2.1 rom for samsung galaxy but I don't know how to extract the ROM file and get them?

Plz help me because I really hate the UI in 2.2 ROM (It's blue and the icons not nice like the orange one in 2.1) and I hate the new youtube in 2.2 too

I'd also like to know about this.

An apk us just a zip file. Open it up and get what you want
If you have to, you can rename the .apk to .zip

Should be able to open the system.img and data.img with 7zip, from here you can go to the app folder and extract the apk files...

so i have this:
I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5
containing:
boot.bin
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
i already tried opening factoryfs.img (471MB) with 7zip and i get the error cannot open file x as an archive... so that doesnt work for me.
i tried the apk swaper beta by _Logie and it also didnt help me.
any other suggestions?

http://www.droidviews.com/convert-and-extract-system-img-and-system-new-dat-files-on-windows/
there was just a converter before to change dat to img, but now looks like they built an extraction tool

Finally !!
I found how do that after to waste a day to search one real solution.
Is only to use the ClassyKitchen free version for windows.
I found it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-classykitchen-android-roms-t3862584
Basically, after to open the program, you will choose "create new project" on the tab "Projects utils", and choose the firmware from PC or from mobile root. So, the program will extract the folders and files to PROJECT/system folder, and you will can access them by windows explorer, including the app folder with all original apks.
I was looking for a way to restore the calculator apk after delete it before to find another to replace it.

In the interest of future people who find this post ...
This is missing a step. You need to launch ClassyKitchen, Click New Project, you can skip the name, then it will ask you to load the ROM. Click the "Browse this PC" button and select the zip file of the ROM. It takes a while for it to load.
It will ask you for a "Name to see while flashing", just put whatever
When it is done, you can close ClassyKitchen, and then look in the ClassyKitchen folder using Windows Explorer, under PROJECT, then system, then app or priv-app and find your apks

[GUIDE] How to extract Huawei firmware (update.app)

How to extract Huawei firmware / update.app​
I wondered how to extract the firmware files Huawei, since with the dsixda's Android Kitchen I could not do it. After some research I finally found and I share my method in this thread.
This method works for the newer firmware (i tested on JellyBean Emotion UI 1.5) but should also work on a lot of others version.
Please for all improvements, send me a MP. I’m french and it’s possible for me to misspellings
This thread is in constant progress thanks to your feedback..​
I. What you will need
ActivePerl to execute the script that will extract update.app[/URL][/B]
JoeyJiao's split_updata that i have modfied
Winrar
The Huawei update.app you want to extract
Android ICS JB EXT4 imagefile unpacker
A brain =)
II. Download and install ActivePerl
1. Download ActivePerl
2. Install it:

}
​
3. It's okay for ActivePerl

1. Create a new folder on your Desktop named "Huawei ROM extract"
2. Download this script (I modified it to work properly) in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"
3. Put your update.app in the same folder
NB: It have to be named update.app !!!
4. So you folder look like this:
5. Double click on split_updata.pl

10. It's okay for extraction
III. Find system, boot and recovery files
1. Download my script HuaweiFinder in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"
2. Execute my script with a double click, youwill see this windows:
3. It's done, go into ouput folder and you will see some files:
boot.img is the kernel files
recovery.img is the recovery
system.img is the rom
others files are some others system files
III. Open and extract img
1. Now download Android ICS JB EXT4 imagefile unpacker
2. Extract it in the folder "Huawei ROM extract"
3. Open ext4_unpacker
4. Double clic on ext4_unpacker.exe
5. Clic on this icon:
6. Go to the output folder and select system.img clic on "Open"
7. Now select all files, right clic and clic on "Extract"
8. You will see this:
9. It's okay the ROM is extracted where you have choosen !!

Thanks for the great guide, but I have a problem executing split_updata.pl. when i double click it, a terminal just opens and closes itself in less than a second but there is no change. I installed the active perl in the link. Any idea?
Edit:
If i type
Code:
perl split_updata.pl update.app
on terminal, it gives me
Code:
Unrecognised file format. Wrong identifier.
And it makes a folder named "output" in the directory, but nothing is in there.
The update.app was in the update.zip from B522 to B601 for ascend d1.
great tread!
but for ascend y300 don't work very well..
it dont' recognize boot.img and recovery.img

Thanks so much for sharing this. But I got a bit of a problem where you execute huawei finder script to find the boot, recovery and system image.

What happens when updating?
I'd like to know what happens when updating because I have a stock update.app for my phone u8681 wind and it refuses to finish step 2/2 and always fails. I was thinking maybe I'd modify the update package so that it would work but first I need to know which checks it's failing at.
Also I want to know how to repack the modified update.app
I've got the same issue with boot.img and recovery.img.
Im using the full rom for Huawei Ascend Mate.
Btw, everything else worked!

I usually do that using dsixda's Android Kitchen
or I leave the zImage as it is, and flash it with some tools (flashable zip that already made to flash zImages)

Install p7zip-full package. Then the kernel from which you need ramdisk, just do this- 7z e kernel_name.elf
It'll give 3 files, 0(zImage), 1(Ramdisk), 2(cmdline).

As far as i know, tearing down kernel with 7zip (or similar) breaks symlinking. I've read that somewhere, don't remember where. Either way, it breaks something. You could unpack kernel.elf with Flashtool, it will give you image, ramdisk.gz, and maybe file called cert or 3 (it depends). If kernel is boot.img instead of kernel.elf, just rename it to kernel.elf.
if you need help on packing/repacking kernel or ramdisk, PM me, I will help you as much as I can.

This should be in Q&A section not in Development section! REPORTED!
Anyway, you can use championswimmer's Android Kernel Kitchen to extract your kernel for getting zImage, ramdisk and the contents of the ramdisk :good:

It won't work. If you want just to extract use flashtool. Unpacking with 7-zip will destroy symlinks and packing again will never work. To use flashtool rename boot.img to boot.elf. Choose Tools>Extractors>Elf and choose your boot.elf file you renamed previously. Then press dump and close. It should be in the same folder with the boot.elf file. (boot.elf was always a renamed boot.img file ) BTW wrong section

I'm pretty sure that championswimmer's tool works, because I used it just a week ago to extract a kernel and it worked like a charm

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE] How to extract your ***.tar.md5 ROM file (Samsung stock ROM) [EASY]

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for the same thing since last 2-3 days but couldnot find a reliable guide as nothing was working for me. So, i just took a trial and VIOLA!!!! its done.
There are various guides for manual extraction of such files which utilizes a dozen of softwares like 7Zip, WinRAR, MagicISO etc etc but frankly speaking none of them worked for me.
So, I thought to make a simple guide for the needy like me (with screenshots).
GUIDE STARTS HERE:
Things you need:
1. A rooted Android device.
2. sgs2toext4 (a java based applet). Download here.
3. Linux disk reader. Can be downloaded here.
STEPS:
1. Download and extract your stock ROM. They are available on various servers like www.sammobile.com etc.
2. You will get two files as shown below:
We only need the one having .tar.md5 extension.
3. Now, remove the .md5 from the extension of the file so that only .tar will remain.
4. Copy this file to your rooted Android device.
5. Download RootExplorer in your device and run it. Explore your sdcard in it.
6. Open it and locate your copied ROM file.
7. Open the ROM file. It will have various files but we need only two files. system.img and boot.img.
8. Long press on the file and select extract. The file will be extracted to sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted/[HERE]
9. Copy these files back to your PC.
10. Start sgs2toext4.jar utility. It will open a window named Drop .img. Drag and drop your system.img on the utility.
11. You will get a new file named system.ext4.img. This is the converted file.
12. Now, download, install and run Linux Disk Reader. Select 'Mount Image' from left pane and browse for system.ext4.img. Make sure you have Raw Disk Images selected as in image below.
13. You will see a new drive created in the reader named Linux ext volume.
14. Open the drive and you will see all the system files. Select all and select Save.
15. Select a folder for saving (Preferably name it as 'system').
16. Now, you have an extracted ROM. Modify, customize and publish it.
ENJOY!!!
Just Press

Thanks for the tutorial, but it doesn't work. When I try to extract the system image file with root explorer, it seems to freeze and doesn't extract anything.
It extracts the boot image, but when you try to open it and view the files with linux reader, it says 'can't open disk: C:users\downloads\boot.img
Check the disk and try again'. Any idea what is going wrong?
I am trying to extract the files from a stock Samsung 4.4.2 ROM, if that helps. Cheers.

Sorry I don't have your apk because I have snapdragon one. But,
If you have stock firmware you can extract any stock app from it.
First download this software
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117
Then extract firmware using 7zip.
You will get system.img. ext4 file.
Rename it to system.img.
Extract software.
You will get file named Extractor.
Move system.img file to Extractor folder.
Then run Extractor. Bat file.
Type 3 and press enter.
You will get folder named system in extractor folder which include everything in your stock rom.

Sorry I don't have your apk because I have snapdragon one. But,
If you have stock firmware you can extract any stock app from it.
First download this software
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117
Then extract firmware using 7zip.
You will get system.img. ext4 file.
Rename it to system.img.
Extract software.
You will get file named Extractor.
Move system.img file to Extractor folder.
Then run Extractor. Bat file.
Type 3 and press enter.
You will get folder named system in extractor folder which include everything in your stock rom.

Open firmware file using 7zip. Then try to extract only system.img.ext4 .Then Rename it as system.img and try again.
I used that method many times but I didn't get any erros.

Don't use winrar. I don't think it's suitable for open that type of files. Please try it with 7 zip. It's open source software (only 1.3 mb).

i cannot help youwith the app specific problems, may be the app is missing libraries or odex files or permissions within etc folder..(which, by the way are somewhat pro things)
i can help you if you have any problem with flashing the zip or if you cant flash the zip, or if you want help in the procedure, or if your app is missing even after flashing the zip..
best adwise that im gonna give you is,
try and put your app inside data/app/miuimusicplayer.apk
it will work:good:
