I also met the same probliem, so is there anyone can help?
Some one said that this is because the RUU is eccrypted, so how to decrypt it?

[ROM][ICS Global Phone Update][4.03.605.1]

I am in the process of upgrading to the 4.03.605.1 rom posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830859, but I am having issues with the firmware upgrade package. My computer says the zip is corrupted, and the phone will not read it. Has anyone else had issues, or have a resolution? I checked the md5sums and they match.
Thanks

is it a zip inside of a zip? zipception?

I tried to check that, but I can't even open the initial zip. Windows throws an error of "error [file]; start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt. Possible cause: file transfer error."

Sounds like a bad download. I got that too from android police. Might try it again.

Yea I tried to download it a few different times, and tried from other websites too (which just link back to the same files). Had to put a recovery back on my phone so I could use it again after hours of trying to find the solution.
Anyone else have any ideas?

you can get the global ruu right here.....http://bit.ly/RaKEAr
Thank you! Does this file contain both the firmware and the OS update? I was able to download the OS update just fine on the other page, just not the firmware.
Appreciate the help!
Actually - that zip file contains the same error as the other link. Anyone know of a different location of a non-corrupted file?

Try the update to the global RUU. Found one on AndroidPolice but can't post link here yet. Just google androidpolice global ruu
Android zip files need 7zip if you want to look inside it.
Also check that you aren't renaming it as ph98img.zip.zjp because windows hides the file type by default.
So this was a two part issue! #1) post above was right about winzip not being able to handle the file.
Second issue was that I did not have the bootloader re-locked, which is required for this kind of update. I came from the tbolt which didnt require locking & unlocking.

</DEBUG></T173318>
<T173318><DEBUG>The rom is encrypted, read the header instead.

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.

Corrupted archives when i extract rom.zip from RUU

I am downloading RUUs from shipped roms website. I followed instructions precisely and extracted rom.zip to the desktop and renamed. Then when i try to extract the zip from the computer it says it's corrupted.
Does it start extracting?
What archiver are you using?
Some will just say it's corrupt because of the signature in the zip

the OTA contains the firmware.zip
extract it to your desktop
then open it and extract the recovery.img from it
I use 7zip it's free

I unzipped all the files, but then firmware.zip does not unzip. Thoughts?

Your download was corrupt or you did it wrong
In case someone else stumbles across this. I had the same problem trying to extract with 7zip.
So I renamed the update.zip to .rar & it extracted okay.
edit: wrong thread sorry
