Compressed archives store numerous files in compact space. These archives sometimes get corrupted when transferring from here to there. Then it becomes virtually impossible to extract the content from it or repair archives. In such case, AutoUnpack is useful to extract content from corrupted archives.

We have already covered Zip Repair which only supported ZIP archives but Auto Unpack can extract content and make it possible to access files inside corrupted ZIP RAR 7Z and TS archives.

Install the program, Provide the source folder which contains Corrupted archives and don’t forget it also supports .001 .002 like splitted archives too. AutoUnpack analyzes this source folder to search for PAR2 files. It uses them to verify the downloaded files that belong to them. If some files are incomplete or missing and there aren’t enough PAR2 repair blocks available, the program will show how many blocks are missing. It will analyze the folder again later. If enough PAR2 repair blocks are available AutoUnpack will repair the missing or incomplete files. Files will be decompressed and saved with respective folder names.

In other words this is a fantastic application, an efficient and powerful little program to be included directly in your toolbox in order to benefit directly when needed.

Push Files to Android Device Using Windows Send To Menu Over ADB Shell

Posted: 15 Nov 2010 07:42 AM PST

Previously in my tutorial of how-to disabling the ascending ringtone on your Samsung Galaxy S, I crashed my mobile OS by messing up with the Phone.apk file thus having force closes. The only option left with me was to push the file using ADB shell to get my phone working. Now The second and the more serious problem was that ADB Shell is full command line supported and pushing file require you to master many commands. Any how I managed to restore my phone with the help of xda-developers but recently I found an application that helps to push files on your Android device using windows Send To option from the right context menu making the task a piece of cake even for un-experienced users.

Please Note

This trick works if and only if your mobile is connected via WiFi to your terminal and not the standard USB debugging mode.
We at Blogsolute take no responsibility of any harm caused to your Android device.

Now here is the step by step guide to integrate ADB push to your right click Send-To menu.

Install ADB and ADB magic on your Pc or laptop you intend to push the file from.
Now create a text file from your notepad and paste the below mentioned command. Replace the <Your Handset's IP Address> with the WiFi IP address your mobile is connected to.
adb connect <Your Handset's IP Address>
adb push %1 /sdcard/
pause
Now save the text file as adb_send.cmd in android-sdk-windows\tools directory. Some users make mistake here saving the file as adb_send.cmd .txt so be very sure.
Now open the run command box and open the following path
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In this very folder paste the above created .cmd file and restart your windows explorer.
Voila, that is all, you will now be able to see your mobile in the right context menu Send To option to push files directly over WiFi.
