So there are quite a few applications out there that can extract, browse, modify and repackage a KDZ file.
Has anyone had luck or even attempted to try one of these programs?
I know with the program UpTestEX_mod2_marwin that we use with windows enabler gives us the option to decrypt the kdz.
The output becomes a wdb file, but from there I'm lost. Tried LGutils but kept getting errors.
Got a lot of info from here: http://code.google.com/p/arenoid/wiki/KDZExtractPack
Hopefully someone can use this information better than I can.

The only cab L9 KDZ file WDB bin and fls can be extracted from the DZDrecyte need to be able to take out a dz file can not be. L7 can KDZ out andthe DZDecrypt dz can be taken apart.
The L9 KDZ out you can not do extract dz

For LG L9 also (tested ok), Anyone can create FLS+BIN from KDZ with this Amazing Tool by SpyRosk...
[TOOL] All-In-One ToolKit v5.0 |KDZ FLASH|ROOT|Repartitioning|SmartFlash|DualBoot
Have tested this perfectly on all KDZ of L9. And if you could figure out the code in Batch File, you can easily create wdb file.
If you are talking about decrypting KDZ, that is possible on Linux machines only, I may be wrong about that.

I extracted KDZ file (on win7) into two files:
LGP765_V10E_00_AP.bin - firware itself
LGP765_V10E_00_CP.fls - baseband file (AFAIK)
So my question - if exists any possibility to modify .bin file? I can extract from there boot and recovery partitions, but i want to modify system

you mean to say if you can extract bin/wdb file you will be able to root it and make kdz again?

That's pretty much what I've been trying to accomplish but gave up as I couldn't get past extracting the BIN/FLS files..

I'm find out what .bin file contains all partitions of phone. And all this partitions signed with RSA key. So to modify we must know this key

That site is about motorola phones if i am no mistaken.
Seems this tool made for KP500 for device of 2010 does not work on latest JB KDZ. Tried with no success.

This is also hidden somewhere in a thread, but I think it deserves it's own thread. We (G4 owners) don't need to flash all our roms in Italian language. In stead of copying all the Update Utility files just copy "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" and it will stay in English.
So if you get this error on you're G4:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Just replace the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"! (I'll attach it too)
If you want to turn an already Italian installer into English replace all the files from "English Update Utility Files G4.zip".
Great! Thanks a lot for these! Hepled me a lot
Guess it should be a sticky, as not many people know where to find these things.
I've tried ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe but keep getting
"Error 208: File Open.
The update utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update utility".
Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?
maybe you're not with the utility and the nk.nbf in the same folder(all in the root of the folder).
Thank you so much...this just saved my otherwise bricked phone!
thx worked perfect in flashing the radio rom on my g4 to 2.19 uk!
I can't figure out how to upgrade my rom. I keep getting the dreaded Error 300.
Can somebody provide instructions on how to run this?
How?
How do I do this?
What should I replace?
Where should I put the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe" file?
I just normally run the updateroom from a folder on my laptop, so where should I place "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe"?
I am attemping to flash Superrom

If the rom is one exe file, unpack it first with winrar. You'll see the file afterwards.
Yes I knows it becomes a exe file after I have zipped it.
Ok here it goes:
I run a normal ROM update exe file, I get the
"ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer Update Utility"
Then what shall I do with the "ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe " if I just run this one the message: ""Error 208: File Open."
Can someone set up a step by step guide please?
Seems you haven't upacked the rom executable. You should have multiple files afterwards (e.g. ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and nk.nbf). Just replace the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe! The file error tells it can't find your nk.nbf.
Damnnnnn Vippie Rocks!!!!!!!
How to do it ..
is it just click and run ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID .. and the application will do all .. or we just need to but all stuff in unpack flash ( any flash ) and install it to firmware ??
thanks allot in advanced
help still not working
I got the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and I run it in the same folder as the rest of the files from the program and I STILL get error 300
Thanks Wes

No... I think your half-ass instructions confused everyone! you posted the update utility yet did not instruct that it should have been extracted in the same folder as the new ROM of the user's choice.
If you were to create a folder then extract the utility to that folder, then click on the extracted file, then for sure you will get the error msg.
Download first the ROM you want in a folder, All New ROMs will extract to two files. One of those files is the rom update utility file that you will need to replace with the Update Utility exe file in this post. To do this just extract the update utility tool ( posted here ) in the same folder of the downloaded and extracted ROM folder. You will then be up and running. Follow the instructions.
To follow up with my previous post, I would suggest you start with the 'Wizard_Love rom or the Button Rom as basis. This will reset your download prompts on your device to accept any Wizard compatible ROM of your choice. After the first update most likely you will not need this utility to update your favorite rom onto your device.

And even than it wouldn't brick the device. So your "no" should be "yes, you're right vippie"!
Did you notice the "developers" in the websites name? What are people doing on this forum if they don't know how to REPLACE a file. It isn't necessary to spoon-feed people.
hi i have LG G2 D802 16gb
last week i flashed kitkat rom, but since most of G2 specific apps are lost, i didnot like it and i want to get back to stock.
i get "stuck at %49 error", "page error", "wparam error", ("whatever you call error") all the time while trying to flash d802 stock rom with "R&D tool", i tried on Win8, WinXP..
I changed the USB com port to 4, to 41.. nothing Worked!!!
and at last!..
I ve found a solution...
here it is...
i found the python script, called "KDZFileTools.py" written by someone (called thecubed) in this forum.
thanks him alot!!! and here is the link;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483250
to make python script file run in Windows go to http://www.python.org and download python 2.7 (NOT 3.x) and install it..
then put .py script file, .kdz file into "c:\python27" folder (this folder is created default when you install python)
and in command promt type;
python KDZFileTools.py -f D80210B_00.kdz -x
this commands extracts the required .DLL file from .KDZ file, to "c:\python27\kdzextracted" folder, the extracted.dz file is NOT necessary for this tutorial.
and i found a tot file from this link, http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware
the one with date: SEP. 7, 2013
i used these two files (DLL i extracted from kdz and tot file) with LG Flashtool v.1.5, you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
if you fallow the steps explained here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
with the DLL (extracted from your phones .KDZ file)
and
.tot file given above
YOU WILL GET STOCK ROM BACK!! i did these and get mine back!!
warning, that I'm not responsible for you messing with your phone.
hope this helps..
please inform me if you succeed.

if you make a backup as stated in all areas of xda hopefully you will not need this- also I didn't think that you could flash a rom with the r&d tool I thought that you should be flashing a kdz file with the r&d tool? at least that was my understanding?anyhow thanks for the tutorial and i'm sure people will have to use it if no backups are made

we got this silly error while flashing .kdz with R&D tool.. and this is a way of flashing tot file to "D802"s.. thanks.
My intent is to provide flashable debrick files for myself and others, from dumps. I am using @smitels patched Lgup Tool (check out the G5/v20 threads). I was able to configure and do complete dumps for several lesser developed (but widely used) LG models: Stylo 3 LGLS777, Stylo 3 LG M430, and X Charge LG SP320. The dumps are large, 14.5GB and between 51-61 files. The problem I have, and which will reveal my ignorance, is that the files have no extentions and are listed: Aboot_COM8, Abootbak_COM8, tz_COM8 etc, img files all I'm assuming. I tried several tools Kdz extraction tool, lg extraction tool etc but none worked. Ext2reader/ explorer don't read them. How can I create kdz/tot files from these dumps? Flashable zips? Thanks for pointing the way.

I am also interested in knowing how I can extract the contents of these files or how to mount them, I need to recover data from the userdata partition when I see their concern, it came to my mind that this can also be useful for me.
Idk yet. Kdztools, LG firmware extractor tool neither work read the raw files. Nor does appending the _COM8 (or what ever). Nor does renaming .img. Idk if I have the tools misconfigured or the wrong tools. I just need to read more. Let me know if you make progress.

Do you have dump for m430?
you have the stock firmware?? usually you just change the file extension to .zip and extract it with winzip after your partition will be extracted such as boot.tar.md5 , recovery.tar.md5, system.tar.md5 after that just rename them .tar remove the .md5 and just download LZMA unpacker and drop them on it and you will get .img
Download the Zip : http://www.mediafire.com/file/0a6iikrao70ma5s/KDZTools_20200305.7z/file
Extract the file zip
Copy the Downloaded KDZ into the KDZ Extractor folder
Open "OneKeyExtraction.bat"
It will Start to extract the file for you
The time to Extract depend on your pc (15 min to 20)
Sweet! We needed a new one of these, this is super helpful. Thank you! I'll be trying it out tonight.
Thank you , it works perfectly
Excuse my ignorance. How do I remove the one from my Velvet 5G phone? It's not rooted and it's on Android 10 and it's from AT&T. How do I extract my own KD?
Could this method be used to create your own rom?
Does anyone have any additional guides for creating roms?

I am trying to extract an OEM LG V600TM kdz file using an LG Firmware Extract tool. I have tried four different ROMs, and each has a file like "V60010x00user-signed-ARBONA2" file where the .dz file should be. If I try to extract the ARBONA2 file as if it were a .dz file, the program immediately aborts and the entire window closes.
I have searched for hours for "ARBONA2 file" with no results, but I can't believe I'm the only one who has run into this. I've added the ".dz" suffix to the file name with the same results. Does anyone here know what this ARBONA file is, why it is in the .dz file location, and/or how to work with it to extract the rest of the ROM?
Thanks for your help.
