[Q] Extracting files from RUU rom.zip - HTC One X+

I'm trying to extract the files from the %temp% location when running the RUU updater that football posted, but winrar/7zip say its not a valid zip.
the ruu log from when I try to run the .exe says
<T173318><DEBUG>Try to read image count from android-info.txt in rom.zip
</DEBUG></T173318>
<T173318><DEBUG>The rom is encrypted, read the header instead.
</DEBUG></T173318>
<T173318><DEBUG>signed rom
</DEBUG></T173318>

Nah. I see from other posts in the dev forum that HTC are encrypting the roms in some way

Which one are you looking for?
Better yet, I'll tell you.
Explore the Rom zip, extract the hboot file and the android info text file to any location. now highlight both files, right click on one of them and choose add to/ compressed zip. Now change the name to PG86IMG.zip.

No you cannot, because the RUU.exe is secured with binary codes that let us explore the contents of the file with winrar or any compressor application but CANNOT extract any file or folder from it.
P.S. for the OP: see this poste for stock recovery but it is for 1.14.401.16 international

not from winrar dude. there is a method to extract it-
Download the RUU for your phone (.exe) and run it, but don't do a thing.
Go to temp directory (in cmd %temp%) and search for the temporary the ruu has made (mainly a folder named { something something something...} ), and search for it.

Does it start extracting?
What archiver are you using?
Some will just say it's corrupt because of the signature in the zip

How do I flash this via cwm? I tried putting the file into sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and choosing restore in cwm but nothing.. then file disappears. Do I need to zip the file first or?.. I really need this.

Yes from the Android development section, and I don't understand what you mean. I am however on the exact same version p76920d
Edit: It is a .tar.gz file.

ok all you have to do is put the file it should be in a folder already and if its in a zip or rar extract it then put in sdcard then put it in the folder clockworkmod which should be on your sdcard already then inside the backup folder and if you dont have any do the following
on the root of your sdcard make a folder called "clockworkmod" no caps then inside that another folder called "backup" then inside that one put the extracted filed then boot to recovery and choose restore from external sdcard and you should see the file
GoodLuck

I will try that method.
So the path should look like this? root/clockworkmod/backup/thefile.tar.gz?

correct but the tar files must be inside a folder so to be more exact
root(externalsd)/clockworkmod/backup/folder(you can name it whatever)/all the tar files and etc

That's what I thought. Because when I backed up my current rom. It was in a folder. So either method would've worked I just didn't create an extra folder. Thanks.

Wait you dont have unlocked bootloader do you? ((extra info)and so you know when you flash a recovery to unlocked bootloader it registers as a P760 phone and artas recovery registers as a P769) it all depends how he did the backup thats why you get md5 mismatch but then again sometimes it acts really stupid but ask him what recovery he used to backup artas or unlocked bootloader
The backup file that you downloaded will have a specific folder name. Usually the date and time it was made. You will get a mismatch if you modify the folder name. Just extract the backup to the backup folder.
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date and time/files

Thats actually not true i always modify the name of my backups and i never get md5 mismatch

Then its probably as you said, backup compatibility.
Or the files are actually corrupt.
If you feel like living on the edge, you can modify the nandroid.md5 file to match the md5 of the files that have a different number. I do this when I want to install a different boot or recovery img that was not backed up with the original.
Edit:
Or check if the md5 numbers are actually correct. Type (in a terminal)
md5 <name of file>
Example
md5 recovery.img
and compare that number to the number found in the nandroid.md5
