Cannot decompress zip file
by 25wood25 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BV5C)
I am new to using Ubuntu 20.10 code groovy.
I need to unzip completely a firmware for Samsung s7 edge mobile phone downloaded from SAMMOBILE web site. The file is about 2.5 g b in size. I have tried to unzip it in windows with 7zip but that does not unpack the firmware completely (down to the bin and img files I need). I came across another method to extract using Linux so I have installed Ubunto on a separate partition of my hard drive.
The method requires installation of:- sudo apt install liblz4-tool But this does not work but I have found that sudo snap install lz4 does install the required decompression app.
The next instructions are as follows;- Unzip all the files from the firmware g935fXXXXXXXXXXXX.zip. This is a little like unpacking a Russian doll given that there's a zip that contains tar.md5 files which contain lz4 files. The following commands will extract everything .
unzip g935fxxxxxxxxxxx.zip -d firmware && cd firmware for f in *.tar; do tar xf $f; done
I presume that the cd' in the instruction means that the file is on a cd rom. If this is the case I presume it would be better to have the file in the documents folder if so how would the command change? When I run the command as above I get an error returned that do' is not a recognised command. Has anyone got any input on where command line is faulty? Regards
