Bad or unknown format /storage/emulated/0/Download/wifiConfig.tar archive
********************************************************
That is what i get when i trying to extract my wireless network setting that i want to recover.
Does anyone know how to extract ot properly?
Sorry for my bad post, im just starting to learn.
Try extracting it by means of ADB - requires USB debugging is enabled on Android device
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "tar xvf /storage/emulated/0/Download/wifiConfig.rar"

The file you provided here seems to be not a .TAR-file, but a password protected .RAR-file.

hi
im very new in the forum thats my first post
i tried to install an app that required a rebbot in my gt-i9300, i rebooted and i got an pop-up window said that factory mode has crashed.
i searched for days in the internet and i found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204&page=53
i did all but my galaxy says that its unable to chmod /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode: no such file or directory
then i realised that i have no efs directory and that i can download one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888193
so' my question is,
if i will flash it with odin, will the error will dissapear?
and if the answer is yes,
i understand that some people flash it because they have no imei and the phone dont recognize their sim card.
and my fear it can happen to me if ill flash it
some help please?

Well, obviously you can. That's what an efs backup is for
Copy the tar file to your PC and download the Android SDK.
Once the Android SDK is installed, open up a command prompt.
Once you're in the command prompt, CD to the directory where the ADB executables and libraries are.
Usually it's here:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\
Once you're in the directory where the files are, unpack the TAR file and type the following code:
Code:
adb start-server
adb push <path-to-your-unpacked-TARfile> /efs/
adb kill-server
If you need further assistance, feel free to PM or email me
Hope I could help!

oh i forgot
my pc doesnt recognize my galaxy
maybe i can go to someone that already has a adb and see if he can fix it
but really thanks
I believe you'll also need to change files owners and access rights for it to work.
Edit : if you don't have any efs folder, I think your efs partition might not be mounted. Type "mount" in a terminal emulator and check if a line refers to /efs (that should be block 3)

Check out the links in my description. (Win8 help - ADB etc. etc. ...) that works with Windows Vista, 7 and 8. If you need the ADB binaries, in that same thread, you can donate a bit of money to me and I'll license you a program (Always with updated binaries) that installs ADB and fastboot to your system's root. With the click of a button
Lg
Edit: You can also download my universal Android tool kit and with the next update, all the Samsung Galaxy S III variants will be supported and you can easily backup/restore your /efs partition from there (With the Pro version, that is)

thanks for trying to help guys!
Hello!
I currently have a new tablet called the PiPo M9 but the manufacturer only gives out ROM's with the 'img' extension instead of the usual .zip
and i can't seem to open them in any way, not by using winrar/7zip/daemon tools etc.
Anyone that could help me out?

Unlocking boot loader if possible
Open a command prompt in LG_Root
Copy fastboot.exe into LG_Root folder found in the attached zip
1.) Start an ADB shell
Code:
adb.exe shell
2.) In ADB shell ask for root permission (Grant shell access via the SuperSU pop-up)
Code:
su
3.) Dump the LAF partition to sdcard (We want to be able to restore Download mode)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img
4.) Remove LAF partition
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
5.) To exit ADB shell, type "exit" twice in shell
6.) Store the image on our PC
Code:
adb.exe pull /sdcard/laf.img
7.) Go into download mode (It will fail due to the empty LAF partition and will fall back to fastboot)
Detect if the device is connected (Wait for any drivers to install)
Code:
fastboot.exe devices
To unlock the boot loader
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock
You may choose to keep fastboot or you can put LAF partition back on for download mode
Code:
fastboot.exe flash laf laf.img

That's what it's suppose to say and you should see a # symbol
when you see the # symbol
copy and paste
Code:
sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
it will look like #sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
press enter and your good to go.

It's in the folder you've been working in the whole time. The script you just ran took care of everything. When you boot your device you will have supersu installed.
I get to the rooting script part and once I hit enter it tells me that only SuperSU was installed. Can anybody give me some advice to what it is I'm doing wrong?

Maybe your not copying the full command correctly
when you start Send_Command.exe
copy this you should have 3 files
ls -l /data/local/tmp
if they exist copy and paste
sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox

I've tried that multiple times
I'm trying to make an AOSP ROM, and while doing so, I now have a dysfunctional bootloader. If your tablet is rooted, please duplicate the boot.img from your system and share it with me. Would very much appreciate.
Instructions:
Use CMD and paste these 2 lines:
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img"
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
Then from ADB directory, upload to somewhere easily accessible.
Does it matter if we have updated to 7.0 or not? I'm rooted and have updated to 7.0 and would be happy to help.
That would actually be a good idea. The ROM is supposed to be 7.0.0 anyways.
Running the first command comes up as " no such file or directory"
Do you already have ADB?

Yep. I do adb devices to make sure it recognizes the tablet and all is good there.
Maybe so I'm the same page i just open up ADB as normal : open the command prompt in my platform tools. I paste the first line in : adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img" I get no file or directory.
Unable to get the dumb file:
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img"
dd: /dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/boot: No such file or directory
Edit: does a backup from the recovery could make the task done ? I backup the boot from the TWRP and I get a file of 32Mb with the name: boot.emmc.win
adb shell
cd /dev/block/platform
ls
And tell me the output. I appreciate your help!

That command never worked for me on this tablet. Yes the default kernels is 32mb.
You can get it from twrp backup as .win and then rename it (if it is not compressed) or use AUT or SuperR's kitchen to obtain it.
Another method would be flashifire>backup.
Im still on MM so I can not help you.
Try these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz54O_w1LEYpQ1k0aDVHX29NbkE/view?usp=sharing
the rooted files I grabbed from TWRP backup, should be idential to the ones get using dd method.
the stock files I extracted from stock kdz file using WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1-Release
What You Need?
1. Your Mobile [Rooted]
2. Computer
3. USB Cable
How?
if you need PARAM.bin file that means you know how things work, so i'm not gonna explain every little step.
1. Make folder on your desktop and Open 2 command line programme windows in that directory.
2. choose one window and run this commands
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/13540000.dwmmc0/by-name/PARAM of=/sdcard/PARAM.bin bs=4096
Block Path in above dd command can be different in your device. if you failed to open renamed zip file, you need to Find Correct Block and replace that in dd command
3. goto second command line window and run
adb pull /sdcard/PARAM.bin
4. To Extract Files from bin Just rename .bin file to zip (param.bin.zip)
Done.
