Here I'm posting how to convert .kdz file into a Flashable zip file, The list of files you needed are
Official kdz file
kdz extractor
LGwinTools
ext2explore
Cygwin (If you are a windows user) from here
dsixda's kitchen This Thread
1. Extract the kdz extractor to the new folder, just drag and drop the kdz file to the unpack_kdz.bat. You will find the .cab file in the same directory where you have kdz.
2. Drag and drop the cab file to unpack_cab.bat. The dz file will be extracted to /dz folder in the same directory.
3. Now extract and open LGwinTools file->open locate the dz file. Items will be displayed in bin files, now click on save to any new folder.
4. We need two files SYSTEM and APPS. Extract and run ext2explore then locate the SYSTEM file, it will load. Now click on save to any new directory(make sure the folder name is system)
5. Now rename the file APPS to "boot.img" (you have extracted from LGwinTools)
6. Make an archive .zip containing \system boot.img \META-INF(attached below)
6 Next process will be installing "Cygwin" read this
7. Installing dsixda's Kitchen read this
8. After you installation you have move the created zip file to \kitchen\original_update (In my case it is "C:\Cygwin\home\Santhoosh\Kitchen\original_update")
9. Run Cygwin
Code:
cd kitchen
./menu
10. Setup working folder and go to Advanced option select "Deodex files in your rom" MAKE SURE YOU SET THE API LEVEL TO 19 and choose both system and framework
11. After this "Rename the app folder in /system to app1" "priv-app to app" in WORKING Directory
12. Now again go for Deodex and deodex the remaining files. after completion rename app to priv-app and app1 to app.
13. Make sure the updator-script is untouched
14. Do zip align(optional) and make any other changes you want.
15. Remove unnecessary app like GooglePlus etc. Remove the Qtranslator and Polarisviewer apk and odex files.
Note: After Deodexing the LG Keyboard will not work, Remove it and add any other keyboard to app folder.
16. Now move to working folder and make a zip file of all. (/system /META-INF boot.img)
17. FLASH IT :laugh::laugh:
18. To Gain root access you have to download this and flash SU
I tried to unpack kdz file, but the programm (unpack_kdz.bat) didn't work. The text in a window is : "Error! LGExtract.exe is not internal or external command, programm or batch file". Why did this error happened? I use windows 7 x64
explains better.. please no root l7 ii p715 kitkat 4.4.2 ....

kdz_extractor modified
download and use this, dont download the kdz_extractor in the main thread.
So.. for the last step is, we don't have to build using kitchen but just archive the working folder instead?

Make sure you see "System" and "META-INF" when you open the zip(these should NOT be in sub folder)
Make sure the zip is correct, and is indeed for your firmware
open the zip with winzip and check there should not be a sub folder
if you find one then try to extract it using any archive tool like winrar
Make sure you see "System" and "META-INF" when you open the zip(these should NOT be in sub folder)
Does flashing APBOOT file of appropriate firmware using Odin work?
I can create cwm flashable zip using skeleton zip provided by many thread on xda. but, I want to create my own zip.
I took apk, meta-inf for a flashable zip, but when I zip them using 7zip on windows or archive mounter in linux, it shows flashing aboard.
I want to know the zip technique of cwm zip files. How can i create them?
39 view, still no reply. Disappointed
Sent from my WT19i using XDA
Zip file should directly contain meta-inf folder and the folder where you wish to replace/copy apk in the phone's root.
I think you have created a folder, consider 'x', placed meta-inf and ___ folder in 'x', and then zipped the whole 'x' folder as 'x.zip'.
The name of the folder/zip doesn't matter at all.
Also, you need to understand how the updater-script works and edit it according to what files you need to replace/edit.
I can understand update-script.
you mentioned that, I have to create a meta-inf folder and an /system/app folder and directly zip both of them? am I write?
Which zip software do you use for that?
Don't use any compression (storage) in 7zip

HERE IS A GUIDE FOR YOU ALL YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN ROM BY THIS METHOD.I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirement to make a custom rom
*JAVA JDK installed on your SYSTEM
*WIN XP/ 7/8/8.1.
*package given in download section
Who is this kitchen for ?
Those who are brand new to
creating custom ROMs and
want an easy place to start
learning
Those who just want to modify
shipped ROMs or someone
else's custom ROMs to their
liking
Those who are confused by all
those scripts and complex
commands required for
building and extracting
This is NOT a tool to
automatically turn you into a
full-fledged ROM developer.
ROM development normally
involves work from the ground
up and involves time , research
and patience .

ME for this Guide
I would like to deodex the Codex system. How Can I do that? 232 Stock-based update. I have the Sony Xperia z2.
This is a very compressed and short guide, but hopefully it'll help you to start (it assumes you already have your phone rooted and have recovery installed) :
1ST OF ALL : MAKE NANDROID BACKUP.
you'll need to have JAVA installed on your machine, download and install that.
- on your device, enable "usb debugging" from developer options
- connect your device to PC, click "allow" on device for usb debugging
- have adb.exe on your pc, navigate to that folder and press shift+right click in empty space in the folder, choose "open command window here"
- in the cmd window that shows up type these commands in order :
adb pull /system/app system/app/
adb pull /system/priv-app system/priv-app/
adb pull /system/framework system/framework/
adb pull /system/vendor/app system/vendor/app
adb pull /system/build.prop system/build.prop
this will get you a folder next to your adb.exe file called "system" with all the files inside
- open system/vendor/app folder and copy "ims" and "chrome customizations" to system/app folder
- open system/framework/ folder and copy "SemcGenericUxpRes" to system/app folder
download deodex tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tool-deodex-tool-android-l-t2972025 (if you're not sure if your system is 32 or 64, get the 32 version)
- extract SVADeodexerForArtx32.zip to your c:/ drive
- open SVADeodexerForArt.exe and browse to where your "system" folder is (same folder as adb.exe)
- check app/framework/priv-app in the program options
- click deodex
- once done, create a flashable zip file from the resulting folders (remember to move files from "app" folder back to "framework" and "vendor" folder in the same order, or you'll get FCs)
- have SuperSU and flashable NUT recovery too on sdcard
- flash deodexed zip, then flash SuperSU and NUT recovery files again
- clear cache/dalvik, reboot
This is a rough guide, basically how I do it. if you need further help, post here and I'll try to respond or someone else will help/correct me if I made a mistake.
thanks
i deodexd with SVADeodexerForArtx64.exe
after that
how to create flashble zip
and which folders will i zip?
pls tellme bro
see attached file for creating flashable zip.
you need to copy the deodexed version from the SVADeodexerForArtx64 folder (you'll find app, framework, priv-app folder there) just open the zip with winrar, drag and drop folder, do a replace (don't change any settings).
Remember to move the "SemcGenericUxpRes", "ims" and "chrome customizations" to their respective folders (framework and vendor/app) to avoid FCs
Once you do that, your deodex file is ready to flash, then after that reflash SuperSU and NUTs recovery.
thanks
thanks bro.:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'm not sure if this zip will work for Android 6.0 since it's not available to test atm. Let's wait until it's out and see then
To confirm your rom is deodexed, use a file explorer with root acces (es explorer) and navigate to /system/, then do a search for "odex" and you should not find any files.

NUTs dual recovery is what is used on locked bootloader Z2 phones, it has both CWM and TWRP for you to choose from, just google "NUTs dual recovery Z2" or search the forums here for more details.

how to open the samsung stock firmware software without pc
Download required applications
download and install
1.) Zarhiver
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
2.) Android İmages kitchen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redlee90.imagekitchenforandroid
I assume you have downloaded the software you want to open
I have the Firmware 4-part view using Zarhive
Remove the files from the zip(rar,tar)
If you have a mistake, copy and paste
If you want, you can make flash with odin after this step but you need files
We reopen tar.md5 format files using Zarhives
We reopen boot.img.lz4 format files using Zarhives
We reopen boot.img. format files using Zarhives
Now in the work of the Android İmages kitchen
With the Plus in the application you unpack mount and select the file
Now our file in the img format are all the usual files that are all the usual use of the AP and CSC / Homecsc in the kitchen using the kitchen
kitchen transfers the extracted files to Sdcart in .raw format
See raw file with Zarhives
I hope you understand my language knowledge is small but if you have questions I can help
