How do I change a ".tar" to a ".zip"
I downloaded "mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tar" for my verizon galaxy nexus which is the newest 4.0.4 (IMM76K). How do I change it to a ".zip" so I can flash it to my phone. I know how to flash already and I'm rooted. I tried renaming it but it didn't work. Someone please help me.

Those mysid files are .img files and they get unpacked from tar form with a program like winrar or 7zip. They will unpack to .img files.

I've used winzip. Unzipped the .tar file and you'll see a zip file there to flash in CWM.

The file you unpacked is a .img file correct? They get flashed in fastboot. Did you try going through the thread sicario posted? Originally Posted by romieorock

Totally my opinion but I would just pass on the IMM76 file and install a custom rom like aokp m5. It is super easy to install with cwm and its just plain better than a stock rom like IMM76.
No messy involved fastboot installation...just wipe data/dalvik and a simple flash in cwm.
The user experience with a custom rom is night and day superior to stock. Totally stable and a boatload of customizations and tweaks. - 05-08-2012, 05:11 PM #10 Re: How do I change a ".tar" to a ".zip"
