I need to upgrade bios from floppy on my samsung leptop, but on samsung's support site i found .exe self updater wich only runs through windows. I want to extract .rom file from that .exe can you help me? i need it so much Link: downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/FM/200810/20081001142209609_17ST_WIN.exe Leptop model: Samsung NP-Q70AV01/SER i tried "Universal Extractor" it gives (Filetype returned was: Microsoft Visual C++ v7.1 EXE [Overlay]*) thanks
I had a quick look, it seems that all the files are stored within the exe as a series of gzip files. opening it in a hex editor i found the following: Code: Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 00123390 31 37 53 54 2E 77 70 68 2E 67 7A 00 00 00 00 00 17ST.wph.gz..... 001233A0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ <snip some nulls> 00123480 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00123490 00 00 00 00 67 B3 0A 00 1F 8B 08 00 00 00 00 00 ....g³...‹...... 001234A0 00 0B C4 BC 7B 5C 54 D5 F6 00 BE CF 63 1E 0C 8F ..ļ{\TÕö.¾Ïc... The 1F 8B is the magic number at the start of a gzip file, you should be able to select the bytes from (and including) 1F 8B to the end of the file and copy them to a new file, save it as 17ST.wph.gz then unzip it and you should have a copy of the bios.
