Zip File Corruption While Using Themeroller

Themeroller is an application that allows the developers to create funny or interactive themes, containing various styles, colors, and more. The application can be downloaded from the Internet and allows even a novice user to create new themes. The user can roll out any number of themes as per his/her requirements. While rolling out the themes is easy, it might also result into corruption of a Zip file. In such cases, all the records saved in the Zip file become inaccessible. To overcome Zip file corruption scenarios, the user needs to restore the file from a copy of an updated backup. But if in case of no backup availability or backup falling short to restore the data, the user needs to repair the corrupted Zip file by using an effective third-party Zip Repair software.

To illustrate the above case, consider a real-time situation where you download a new theme (.zip file) and try to roll it out by using an a themeroller. However, when rolling process is in progress, the themeroller stops and the theme could not be rolled out. Moreover, when you view the downloaded file in the Hex-editor, you view that there are 20 bytes attached to a normal 'PK' header.

Cause:
The above situation occurs when the Zip file gets corrupted due to interrupted downloading or virus infection.

Resolution:
To surmount the above Zip file corruption situation, you will need to follow the below steps:

  • Download the Zip file again.
  • Restore the file from an updated backup.
  • In case the file can not be downloaded and backup is not available, then you will need to use a powerful third-party Zip File Repair tool to Repair .Zip file.
Such repair utilities use safe repairing mechanisms to repair corrupt files and restore them on your desired location. These software are built with interactive user-interface, which enables the user to understand the repair process without any prior technical knowledge. The repair applications do not make even a single change in the original Zip file.

Transfer Error While downloading a Zip file

Often, when you encounter an error message while accessing a Zip file, it means that the Zip file is corrupted or damaged. Whenever a zip file is corrupted, it effects either all the files or one particular file saved in the zip file. While the reasons for corruption of a zip file can be many, the most common remains the transfer error during the downloading process of Zip file from the Internet. To access the files saved in the Zip folder after it gets corrupted, you will need to download the file again from the Internet. However, if no such option is available, and with inaccessibility of backup, the only option left is to repair the corrupted Zip file by using an effective third-party Zip Repair application.

To illustrate the above case, consider a practical scenario where you download a particular Zip file from the Internet. However, when you try to open the downloaded Zip file, you receive the below error message:

“The installation package could not be opened”

After the above error message appears, the files saved in the Zip file cannot be extracted. In addition, the same error message appears every time you attempt to open the Zip file.

Cause:
The root cause for the occurrence of the error message is corruption of zip file. Few main causes for corruption are transfer error during downloading, and exposure of storage media to cross linked hard disk sectors, excess magnetic fields and temperature.

Resolution:
To resolve the above error message and to access the data, you will need to try to download another copy of the Zip file. However, if no copy of that file is available, then you need to use effective Zip Repair application to repair zip file.

These easy-to-install tools are readily available on the Internet and are competent enough to Repair Zip files post any logical crash. Not only these applications allow you to restore the repaired file at specified location, but also ensure that the original file remains unmodified and untouched.

Compressing File more than 2 GB Size

A .zip file allows the user to compress large size file into smaller size file, with .zip file extension. The application used for compressing the file is WinZip. This compressed .zip file can be easily sent over a network or through an e-mail. Just like any other file, a .zip file can also get corrupted due to various reasons. In such situations, the files can not be extracted from the .zip file, resulting in inaccessibility of the data saved in those files. A common way used to overcome such situations is by restoring the file from an updated backup. However, in case the restoration of the file fails or restores irrelevant data, then the user needs to repair the corrupt file using an effective Zip Repair application.

While there are numerous reasons for .zip file corruption, such as, header corruption, CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) errors, WinZip malfunction, and virus attack, the file can also be corrupted when a user creates a .zip file with size more than 2 GB. A .zip file with more than 2 GB file size is unreadable and the data saved in the file can not be accessed.
Cause:
WinZip application allows the user to create a .zip file with size below 2 GB. Any file with size beyond 2 GB gets corrupted.
To prevent the corruption of .zip file due to oversizing, the user should first split the files and then compress them. However, if the file is already corrupted, then the user can always restore the file from a copy of an updated backup. But in case of backup unavailability, the user needs to opt for Zip Repair solutions.
Resolution:
For absolute repair of corrupted .zip file, the user needs to use a powerful Zip Repair application. These applications are readily available on the Internet and can be used even by a non-technical person. Such tools use effective repairing techniques to Repair Zip files.

Cause and Resolution for Zip File Corruption

While moving our files to a compressed folder (Zip file), we are generally unaware of the fact that, the Zip file is not immune to corruption and its corruption may cause damage to all the files stored in the Zip file.

And, when the Zip file gets corrupted, owing to whatever reason, your data stored inside the file becomes inaccessible. To compensate for the loss caused due to corruption of Zip file, you can use the original file or its backup file. But, if due to some reason, restoring the data is not possible, then you have to use a superior quality Zip Repair software to retrieve all the contents from the file.

On trying to extract your Zip file, at times, nothing happens, apart from appearance of some error message indicating corruption of the Zip file.
Now, the question is, what could have caused corruption in the Zip file? Let us find out more about this.

There are a lot of reasons causing Zip file corruption. Some of those reasons are:
  • Transfer error: This is the most common reason for Zip file corruption. This may occur while downloading a Zip file from the Internet, which introduces invalid data into the Zip file.
  • Storage media getting exposed to excessive temperature.
  • Cross linked disk sectors.
  • Disk drive mechanical issues.
One more reason for Zip file corruption could be the damage of the removable or external medium on which it was stored.

How to resolve the issue?
An ideal way to resolve the issue is to obtain a fresh copy of the file from another source. But, if this is not possible, then restore the file from an updated backup file. And, if you downloaded the file, then try downloading it again to get a clean Zip file.

But, if there is no source available to download the file again and the file you have is corrupted and unfortunately, you do not have any backup, then use a Zip Repair software to solve the issue. The software can Repair Zip File using its complex scanning algorithms and restore the file at default or any user-specified location.

Zip file corruption due to CIH, Spacefiller, Chernobyl viruses

Most of the computer users have encountered problems due to virus attack. For those who haven't will surely face it in near future. A computer virus is competent enough to completely corrupt any file, including the executable files. One major example of executable files, prone to corruption is, Zip files. Zip files are self-extractors or executable.

In most instances of Zip file corruption, due to virus infection, the user may encounter an error message when s/he tries to open the file. The error messages do not allow the files to be opened, further resulting in inaccessibility of data saved in Zip file. To access a Zip file data in such cases, the user can use a good backup for file restoration. But, with majority of computer users not maintaining a valid backup, it becomes mandatory to use a third-party zip repair tool to perform Zip file repair.

To illustrate the above case, consider a practical situation where you receive the below error message while trying to open a Zip file:

“Header Corrupt”

The above error message results in inaccessibility of all the information/data saved in the Zip file. In addition, the same error message pops up every time you attempt to open that file.

Cause:
The fundamental reason for the occurrence of above error message is corruption of Zip file due to a fatal virus attack. The three main viruses that corrupt Zip file(s) are W95.CIH, Spacefiller, and Chernobyl.

To prevent the occurrence of the above error message, always have an updated anti-virus software installed in your system.

Resolution:
In case the Zip file is already corrupted and you have not maintained any backup, then you will need to opt for an effective Zip Repair software. Such Internet-downloadable tools can repair zip files after almost every logical corruption situation like, virus attack, application malfunction, and operating system corruption. These third-party repair applications are completely safe and do not modify the original data of Zip file. Such tools are easy to understand without any former technical knowledge.
