Can kdz phone firmware files be extracted on linux?
I have a phone that gives message:
Code:
Your device is corrupt.
It cannot be trusted and will not boot.
Your device will power off automatically after a while.
and can't boot. And this is immediately after I have completed the factory reset as instructed at LG
When I try a basic online search, the only help forum that I can find for kdz file firmware flash states that this mysterious format "kdz" must be extracted, and they only give a way for windows users to extract it.
The only exception is kdzextractor:
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/innfinite4evr/Kdzextractor

When I run command under sudo I get the same result. Reading in the code above it promises " System.img extracted in system folder", but the system.img file exists nowhere.
My system:
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux a-MS-7D05 5.4.0-139-generic #156+10.0trisquel11 SMP Thu Feb 9 03:04:44 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Phone: LG Aristo 1 LGMS21034378a4f
Is this something that only windows can pull off? |
