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.

is outdated. Try using some python scripts out there for the newer firmware.

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.

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
As example - http://and-developers.com/partitions:isw

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.
I extracted lg kdz and i had to edit the system bin file for a specific reason, but now i need to flash it through lg up and i don't know how to join the bin files to create a tot file
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
hello, i used WindowsLGFirmwareExtractor to extract a kdz file to a dz file. then i merged into a system.img file. then opened that file in ext2explore. there is an app folder with all the apps in it. what i would like to know is first, can i delete the apps i dont want, and second, re-create a kdz file and flash that. and how do i make a new file to flash? would i delete the whole folder, or just the apk inside the folder?
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?
can i extract abl files using this??
