Pulling rom.zip from RUU - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I know how to extract the rom.zip from an RUU in .exe format, but the only 2.11.605.3 RUU I can find is in .zip format (needs to be changed to PG05IMG.zip and flash in hboot.
How do you extract the rom.zip from an RUU in .zip format?
I've searched for about an hour here and on google, and can't find anything.
Thank for your help.

Well, I'm trying to extract the rom.zip to use as a base for a custom ROM.
I know there is already a deodex'd rooted 2.11.605.3 ROM, I was just wondering how to do it for future reference.

Do you have android kitchen?
Google how to create ROMS, it will help you find things like android sdk, android kitchen, cygwin or lynix which ever u prefer. With just those few things you can make a stock Rom from a leak.

In my opinion, the best source for stock recovery image files are the original RUU leaks we're provided.
Generally, the user named Football posts them in the development threads. Sometimes they are made sticky. I would suggest searching for the RUU thread by Football for the specific software version you're wanting the stock recovery image from.
An alternate mirror source is http://goo-inside.me . As they mirror many RUU files which contain the stock recovery image.
Goo-inside.me usually posts the rom.zip file located inside the RUU.exe which saves the end user a few steps of extracting the rom.zip themselves from the RUU.exe.
Inside the rom.zip file, there will be another file called firmware.zip, this should contain a file named recovery.img, which is the original stock recovery image for that specific software version.
If the process seems convoluted, you can thank HTC! Hope those steps help make sense of the issue!

Which one are you looking for?
Better yet, I'll tell you.
Explore the Rom zip, extract the hboot file and the android info text file to any location. now highlight both files, right click on one of them and choose add to/ compressed zip. Now change the name to PG86IMG.zip.

No you cannot, because the RUU.exe is secured with binary codes that let us explore the contents of the file with winrar or any compressor application but CANNOT extract any file or folder from it.
P.S. for the OP: see this poste for stock recovery but it is for 1.14.401.16 international

not from winrar dude. there is a method to extract it-
Download the RUU for your phone (.exe) and run it, but don't do a thing.
Go to temp directory (in cmd %temp%) and search for the temporary the ruu has made (mainly a folder named { something something something...} ), and search for it.

Un-RUU the Unbranded HTC RUU

Hi Everyone
I have been trying to get the zip file from the unbranded RUU of HTC Amaze, the conventional method of running the exe and copying the zip from the temporary folder doesn't seem to work, the rom.zip file is too small and the biggest file (data1.cab) isn't extractable. I saw a post on extracting using unruu but I dont have access to ubuntu and I am not very familiar with it. Can anyone help me get the flashable zip of the Asian unbranded RUU? I have included the link to the exe file.

Thanks in advance
