R u trying to open update.pkg? to update ur built?
If so rename ur pkg to update.zip
Copy to sd card
switch off of ur device
Turn on ur device same time hold both the volume buttons on side
Device will boot in recovery mode
With volume button highlight update device and click ur camera button once
It will run ur update pkg
Make sure u [email protected] up ur apps as it will clear all ur app but it wont delete anything om sd card
Make sure u use right update

As the OP has requested in his first post....He is wanting to extract the contents of the file, not flash it

Yes actually i want to extract the 3G modem firmware.
But i was told Dell has all in one (hard to believe).

Will this method work if you get a different device? Say downgrading from a Vibrant to a MT4G?

From rommanager flash clock work recovery then boot into recovery and find the zip and flash

Yes rename the zip file to update.zip but that should have already been done when you rooted your phone.
^ no. you never rename a rom.
Flash cwr
Reboot into cwr
Install zip from sd
Check out the noob guide (signature) for much more detail and steps.
You can do it from rom manager, but cwr still needs to be flashed.

[Q] I hope I'm not being a bother

I'm a noob but i can usally grasp technology pretty easy . I'm trying to flash my phone but when i try to choose the file from the firmware (yes its in there i checked) its not there at first i just chose the folder flowed the instructions to see if it worked anyway but it didnt work. i tried both flash tool FlashTool version 0.2.9.1 and FlashTool version 0.2.8 but none worked (they were both the same i think) im using vista if that helps. Help please
First things first you're using Vista... Thats always a problem LOL... sorry =)
No, it shouldn't be...
You should just be able to select the folder that the file is placed in and it should come up on Flash Tool...
Let me ask... in the folder is it one file or a group of files??
i just put the rar file in there and unpacked it there

What files did you get out of the extracted RAR?
MD5,X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435 one text one ftf
Have you put all files in the firmwares folder of x10flashtool?
yeah i have
So you can see the files when you press FLASH in flashtool, and then select the file you want to flash? Where does it fail? Explain better.
i click on flash the i click on the 3 little dots to choose a folder it says the folder is empty. I can only see the file it i go in my download where i have my flash tool folder
That shouldnt be necessary, if you have the tft file in the firmwares folder it should come up directly when you click flash. Dont know what could be wrong! :s You have extracted flashtool right? And the firmware files..
yeah......
also i dont know if this will help but the only click-able buttons are flash donate and save log. The others are just there

I made one flashable zip file download it from Link:

Open it with winzip or winrar or 7zip
Open my zip file
Open folder named system

Then drag and drop that app.
Then copy that zip file to directly your sd card and flash it with cwm

He doesn't have root or unlock bootloader,so no cwm, so he can t flash zips,that's obvious, so no chances of modify system files
