Can't post in the Dev section yet. That's what I get for trolling around since you guys showed me how to root my OG Droid. Thanks, btw.
Now, I'm trying to root my Tbolt, and when I click on the downgrade RUU file to see the contents it says the file is invalid. So, then I tried to extract it, to see what would happen, but same message.
I also downloaded the exploits.zip and the final PG05IMG.zip and was able to view both their contents. Plus, I had to extract the exploits file to the SDK directory, and it worked fine.
So, I then downloaded from all three mirrors, but same result. And then I went to the rom.galaxysense.com site and downloaded from there, but same result. Am I the only one having retarditis? Is the file jacked, or just run-of-the-mill incompetence on my part???
Thanks to whomever takes the time to help out. And thanks for all the help everyone puts out there for the rest of us.
I am confused by your massive amount of words in this post. You need to say maybe, 20 things total.
First, you don't need to open anything, you simply need to put the ZIP onto your SD card and reboot into Hboot.
The only ZIP you need to unzip is the exploit.zip.
I don't need to extract them, I get that. I was looking in the zip files out of curiosity, but when the one file said it was an invalid file type I didn't want to put it on my SD card. That's closer to 20 words, hope that makes sense.

haha, I was feeling like being a smart ass. The RUU needs to be renamed to PG05IMG.ZIP and put on the sd card, then you need to reboot into bootloader.
Also to add, I came into the problem where I renamed to PG05IMG.zip It was already zipped so just had to name it PG05IMG Then it worked for me.
Thanks for the help. I guess no one understood what I was saying, but since no one else has mentioned the file being corrupted I guess I'll use it and hope for the best.
That's why I mentioned that the other two zip files would let me look at their contents, but the third one said invalid file type. I thought it was clear, but my bad...
Either way, here's another post towards getting out of noob post restrictions!

I'm pretty sure that the RUU downgrade is not something you can open. Just make sure the checksum is valid and you're good to go.
I had tried to flash the RUU after I first rooted becuase I was having location issues. It would check the PG05IMG.ZIP and go back to the Hboot screen. I had flashed another rom so I didn't mess with it any further.

Finally! I've been looking through threads forever in search of this very issue. I was all set on rooting last night, and just like you, the Mecha_RUU file wouldn't unzip, said it was invalid, etc. I stopped right there out of fear that I'd get burned pressing on with one of the key files "broken." Have you rooted since with no trouble?
The best thing to always do is get an MD5 sum for the file and compare it to the root post. I have rooted my thunderbolt twice now and never had a problem.
If the md5sum is correct then you should be fine. Also remember in Windows, it hides the extensions. So when you rename your files do not add the extension as it is already there.
You can show the extensions by changing the folder settings.
Downgrade wont flash
1) Power down phone
2) Power up phone holding volume down
3)No option to upgrade just starts checking files
4) Third check is the downgrade file, starts loading
5) Fails because the file is Older than the main
Ive seen other threads touch on this but no one answer it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Also I have already updated to the 7/8/11 OTA.
Thanks,

I appreciate the thread link. That's exactly the error I'm getting. Problem is I'm supposed to downgrade to obtain root ( or at least that's one of the steps). I have downloaded this downgrade file from multiple links and verified its the correct one to use in this step and I always receive the "main version higher" issue. Should I be using a different file to downgrade or is this no longer an option for root since the 7/8/11 ota?

Interesting..
I wiped everything ADB and Thunderbolt related from my PC.
Then I downloaded the easy root from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292&highlight=easyroot
Then I downloaded and opened the pdf instructions on the same page.
Then I followed the written directions to a T!
Worked like a charm. Steps 1, 2, and 3 hung up and had to be done multiple times but I finally got through it. Some other links if found with this same method were misleading as to doing the steps over again but he accounted for this in his pdf instructions and if you follow it to the letter you should be good.
I keep reading in threads to check md5sums before doing anything. Would someone care to explain why and how to go about doing so? Is this to be done prior to installing a ROM?
Just trying to get a better understanding of things.
Figured it out before someone gave me the old spoon fed line.
Anyway for those of you that might be a bit confused like myself here is a link to a md5 checker.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml
Run exe. after unzipping.
search for file you want checked
Good to go
Guess i've been fairly lucky up till now considering i have never performed this step prior to installing anything.
you can also go to the market and download an app called ManD5....it is also a md5sum checker...

The idea is to check it prior to actually installing it on the phone, not just before it is copied to the storage card. Theoretically, it could get corrupted at any point it is copied/moved/etc, so the ideal time to check is just prior to the step where you flash/install/reboot/whatever.
I actually just use Astro file explorer on my phone. You can look at the details of a file, and it will compute the md5 for it.
My favorite free shell extension for MDS - HashTab
Win & Mac versions.
Thanks for all this info peeps. Many people, including myself, are afraid to ask a stupid question at times.

You can also do it in a command line (Terminal) just type

I find it's easier to check on my PC after I D/l so I use TeraCopy when copying files. Copies then goes back and checks them.
So I found a directory while exploring with Android Commander witch contained a zip file entitled: bootanimation.zip, upon extracting it lone and behold it was my current bootscreen. I copied it, extracted it and changed all the images to my own animation. I kept the file format .jpg and the file names. But now when I boot it just skips the bootscreen. Am I safe in assuming the reason for this is an MD5 checksum? Or worse, a salted MD5 Checksum? I am running ICS 4.0.4 on the LG-LW770.
It isnt a big deal if it wont work, I just thought it would be awesome to show off my freeware organization branding and a message stating the phone belonged to me.
Please if you have any knowledge of the Bootanimation download this zip and let me know whats wrong.
Thanks,
Taylor

have you checked the file permissions, usually when the file gets copied it only gets owner read.

I checked into it, It does have root ownership & in the root group and the problem still exists. I also changed the file types to PNG with JPG extensions (as that apperently is the type of file the originals are) So there must be another issue... MD5?
Any suggestions anyone?

that might help possibly. since you started from the other bootanimation.
What ROM are you using? The kernel has to support custom boot animations.
I checked and the boot animation works fine on my phone

Actionx1 now that is an answer that will suffice. Since my phone is relatively new (just released this month) and because it is a phone that will go under the radar (The LG Optimus Regard) I am using a stock Ice Cream Sandwich Version 4.0.4 (Rooted). Is there a way to sign the zip so it shows as official? Or does the file size have to match, like an MD5
Update, its odd that it works on your phone Action because The App Bootanimations, all of their Animations work for me, just not mine

read with attention a tutorial! I think you maybe did a syntax error in desc.txt so be sure to check that everything it's ok in there. When you use winrar to compress the bootanimation folder to make bootanimation.zip, be sure to select "store" compression method. And don't forget to put your new boot animation to /system/media!
Thanks Jones I did all that.... prior and still no luck
I've seen numerous people asking numerous times in the same thread on how to use OASVN to update to the latest release. So I figured I would go ahead and make my first contribution to help everyone out.
1. Download OASVN 'AND' 7Zipper from the Play Store
2. Open OASVN
3. Click "Add Repository"
4. Under "Name" feel free to type whatever you want your repository to be called
5. Under "Repository URL" enter: http://evo-4g-lte-sense5-port.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
6. Under "Local Folder" you will see something like "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/"Leaving that input will make your internal storage the primary download location for the trunk/checkout/ROM files (whatever you would like to consider those files to be called). Keep in mind: The files can get pretty heavy (big in size...) and take up a lot of space. Feel free to change that location if you want.
7. Click "Save"
8. Click your repository
9. Click "Checkout" and let the app do what it does (downloads the files you need)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO BE ON WiFi OR A STABLE 4G CONNECTION!
You will see "Operation in progress, please wait..." and "Performing Checkout!!!"
This can take a very long time depending on your connection speed.
10. Notice that your "Revision" changed from "0" to what should be the latest release/revision from googlecode and is ready to zipped up.
11. Get to the menu on the top right and click "Export Local Copy"
12. Decide where you would like to export the copy that you'd like to zip up and flash.Do NOT use your "Local Folder" unless you would like a migraine. You can use that folder ONLY if you export the copy to a different folder in that location. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASCNlite/r98" or whatever folder name you desire.
I use my external Class 10, 32gb SD Card by using "/sdcard2/*desired-name*" and have it saved there.
Also, since my OCD gets the best of me at times, I create a new folder for each export and save it as the revision number. I'm pretty sure you can use the same export folder over and over but I've never done so. I like to be super neat and really messy (don't ask please... thanks).
NOTE: Using your internal SD Card may save you a bit of time.
13. A "success" message should prompt briefly after the export has completed and your files will be where you directed them.
14. Open up 7Zipper and tap the screen.
15. Click "System Folder" and head to the location of your exported copy. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/r98/"
16. Press the green check-mark button near the top of 7ZipperAND select ONLY THESE FILES/FOLDERS!
1. data
2. kernel
3. META-INF
4. system
5. boot.imgTHEN click the button underneath the red "X" to the right of where the green check-mark was (it looks like an image of a pull-down menu which is what it actually does... pulls down a menu).
17. Click "Create Zip"
18. Enter whatever name you'd like to call your .zip file that you will be flashing/installing.
19. Select your "Compress Level" that says "Default" by default (imagine that...)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO USE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE COMPRESSION LEVEL! WHY!? I HAVE NO IDEA! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS TOLD SO THAT IS WHAT I DO! Lol. Using your Internal SD Card may save you a bit of time but if you didn't export your local copy to your internal SD Card then your S.O.L. since it'll save the .zip in the same folder that you selected your exported copy files/folders.
LET 7ZIPPER DO WHAT IT DOES! I haven't had any problems letting it run in the background while doing other things but of course you will notice a slight decrease in performance.
20. Reboot into your Recovery and flash the .zip that you just created.
SUCCESS! Hopefully.
I've seen a script you can use that was made by one of the members of the Alliance Dev Team working on the s5port. I'm not 100% who everyone was that incorporated that so if you want credit please send me a PM and I'll edit this post with proper credentials. I believe it was il duce though.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON A GOOD CONNECTION! WiFi preferred.
3G will work but it will take forever. Forever isn't an exaggeration either.
LTE will work but you risk losing connection.
Open up Terminal app
Type su
Type s5port
let Terminal do its thing
NOTE: This process will take some time no matter what you do. Just let it do its thing. It downloads the files it needs and then zips them up for you to flash. This is a hassle-free method, if you will. I believe that's about it.
Good looking out

Just tried this over my home wifi, says I have rev109. When I went in to my system folder through 7Zipper I didn't see a data folder or the boot.img - is that normal?
EDIT: I went ahead and zipped up what I had just to see what would happen, and I definitely must have done something wrong because the finished zip is only 105mb.

Hey, this happened to me too. It is probably because your download failed or you ran out of space on your internal SD card. I went into Settings and then Storage and clicked on "Misc" under Internal storage and deleted the OASVN files, redownloaded, and it worked. Give that a shot!
I also followed all instructions and it was also missing the boot.img. I just downloaded the file directly and zipped it all up and all was fine.

Thanks for your help. I tried again from scratch and basically got the same thing - no data and no boot.img. I have enough room on internal storage and have lots on my SD card, so I know space isn't the issue.
Maybe this is my phone's way of telling me I should just wait till it's released as a flashable zip, haha.
i'm getting the same thing, only a 108ish mb zip.. tried a couple times..
If you're not getting all of the files that means your download wasn't 100% successful. Happens a lot. Just need to Update or do another checkout.

Best to save a lot of time by making sure all of the files have downloaded before performing the export of the local copy. I haven't used OASVN in quite some time since I just got my replacement and haven't done any S-OFF yet so I can't test to see if there's just an issue with the program or anything... Worked fine every time I used it last month though.

I MADE THIS THREAD A FEW MONTHS AGO, DIDN'T GET THE ANSWER!! PLEASE HELP!
So, my brother backed up my Samsung Galaxy S4 on his laptop about 3 years ago. Can't remember the program used. He gave me the backup file recently. It's a .bak file which is 1.4GB.
(I screenshotted the file name and attached it here titled " FILE BACKUP TITLE.PNG")
I edited the file, to a .exe. (eg “Samsung SM-G350E_20191001_103009.bak” delete the bak and write exe after the dot and press enter.) That way I can access everything through winrar. However all of the files are encrypted! We have no idea what the password is, what shall I do! (Attached the "enter password" screen in winrar titled " RAR.PNG")
It has 1000's of photos from 2014-2017, I have no idea on what to do. I've checked out brute forcing, but I wasn't sure how to do it.
Thanks.
Here is two passwords mentioned that you could try... or use as base...

Try to convert the password protected .RAR-file into a .ZIP-file which you then can easily open without any password protected.

I'm not sure how to do that. Everytime I click on the file, it forces me to enter a password.
Are you sure that would work? It's not a rar file though. It's an application now, because I renamed it from .bak to .exe.
Thanks!!
(Attached screenshot of the standard file (the BAK file), then the edited one which opens through winrar (the application). Won't upload for some reason, (in the original post).
So basically, the file is a ".BAK" file, then same file was renamed to be an "application" file.

One could try use it again, mayby an old version and see if the files saved are in same order, etc...

It was advanced password recoveries from elcomsoft, but there are free tools for this known plaintext attack too. https://www.google.com/search?q=known+plaintext+attack+zip
Quite many variables that must match for it to work, but then again, only 12 known bytes is enough, of which at least 8 bytes need to be continuous, so only part of the known plaintext file is needed...
To see if it's even possible open it with 7-zip and see the encryption method.
It should be "zipcrypto deflate/store". Maybe also rar shows it....
If it looks like wondershare file, then using that password (that didn't work) as base could work. At least it would not take much time check numbers from 0-10000+++.

To see if it's even possible open it with 7-zip and see the encryption method.
It should be "zipcrypto deflate/store". Maybe also rar shows it....
If it looks like wondershare file, then using that password (that didn't work) as base could work. At least it would not take much time check numbers from 0-10000+++.

Alright I see, I think you're talking about a bruteforce attack right? Do you have a link for a proper one? So far, none of them havent even started up properly yet.
Alright I see, how do I load the file onto wondershare aswell? There doesnt seem to be a dialogue for it at all.
Thanks.

If the backup file really is RAR-formatted you can try RAR to ZIP Converter what is attached.

FORGET IT, I WAS MISTAKEN, because the backup file is proved to be ZIP-formatted.

The other guy mentioned a brute force attack, but I cant find a program download that works.
