Hello,

Yes. You guess a right file. But I use the tar command to extract the file.
Some message will be prompt and list as below :

/*
tar: Cannot identify format. Searching...
tar: Cpio file name length 5760 is out of range
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: Cpio file name length 39237 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 61438 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 11259 is out of range
tar: Cpio file name length 29493 is out of range
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached

ATTENTION! tar archive volume change required.
Ready for archive volume: 2
Input archive name or "." to quit tar.
Archive name > .
Quitting tar!
tar: Premature end of file on archive read
*/

Please help how to solve it.

Thank you.
