Do not extract the downloaded file. Place it directly in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/. Boot into xRecovery and select restore and select that file.
Let it restore.....
DONE!
If its still not working, the file you downloaded might be corrupt.

You have to unpack downloaded file to get:
system.img
data.img
cache.img
nandroid.md5
put these files in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/somefolder/
Go to recovery. Backup and restore. Restore. Select backup name which is the "somefolder" name. Select yes. Reboot.

1- Yes if the zip has CWM-File.zip
It is STILL compatible with TWRP
2 - What file type is the backup?
PS - I LOVE THE FACT YOU CALL YOUR BACKUP A HIM !!

TWRP recovery
.Win is actually a backup filetype, but never seen it in terms of Android.
I would try to make a backup with TiBackup or ROM Toolbox or MyBackup
Try one of those and the filetype output should be a correct backup format.

You're gonna need to give more info than that. What file is this (I've personally never heard of the ext4.win extension before; are you asking about an ext4 partition?) and why do you need it for your nexus 4?

Ext4.win is the backup file made by TWRP. Ext4 is the filesystem of the file (I assume) and .win is their extension. It may just be as easy as renaming it to .zip and opening it, kind of like a .apk
He probably wants to extract his apps

Re: [Q] Extract *ext4.win files ([A] They are '.tar' archives)
I arrived here from a google search for the same problem so I thought others might, too. Here is what I found:
Code:
# file data.ext4.win
data.ext4.win: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
# mkdir data
# cd data
# tar xf ../data.ext4.win
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
...
While this worked, I was surprised that 7Zip complained that it did not recognize the file type, even when I changed the name to 'data.tar'.
Long story short: TWRP '*.ext4.win' backup files appear to be '*.tar' UNIX "tape archives". I would hesitate to say "standard 'tar' files" only because I encountered some unexplained wrinkle. (7Zip usually doesn't have any trouble.)
I know this thread is a year old, but it's still relevant as there is not much information about this
On windows you can use tartool from here: https://tartool.codeplex.com/
Code:
tartool -x system.ext.win output_folder
better yet, http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidicsjbext/, gui ext4 extractor
Change extension from win to tar and open with winrar.
If on windows open the win file in 7Zip, Extract the .ext4 file, and then open the ext4 file with 7zip
hi my some problem help me for this format upacking

[Q] Cannot Restore TWRP backup

Before anyone accuses me of not doing a search, I have scoured the internet for a solution but I cannot find it.
So I used TWRP to backup my phone and then installed an Android L preview ROM (Fair enough, right?). Obviously the backup size is massive so I moved it to my computer (Also pretty standard).
I wanted to use my original backup again so I moved the file into TWRP\BACKUP and booted up TWRP. Nothing showed up in the restore menu and when I tried to manually install the .zip it said "Cannot open zip". I've rezipped it, I've tried cwm, I've disabled the md5 thing and disabled the zip signing thing.
What do?
Are you sure you put the zip in the right folder? It should be
TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumber/

I assume the Android L preview is still bootable? If so go into Settings > About phone > Status > Serial number
If not, I would reflash the Android L ROM just to get into the setting menu and retrieve the serial number to try what was suggested above.

Still nothing in restore, still not doing zip install. During zip install I get "unable to open zip file" and for another i get "error flashing zip"

make a new backup. then, go to your new backup, delete it out of the folder it creates, then put your old backup into that new folder.

Good shout.
Also, I just thought. Shouldn't TWRP backups have the .win extension not .zip? You mentioned you tried rezipping the backup?
I remember changing the .win backup extension to .tar to extract and view contents. Check the extension of your backup and use one you have not 'rezipped' if you have that copy.
Please note you cannot flash a raw backup as a zip. You have to restore it with TWRP.

Turns out it was "backups" not "backup". So now it's saying "no partitions selected for restore." So you've solved my issue but now I've got another for you.

when you go to restore it, does it give you a list of things to restore? like system, cache, boot, etc? and is your file extension correct?

No I don't get that list. And for the second question, it is a folder with data.ext4.win(.md5,001,002,002.md5) so I guess so.

You could try this which explains how to convert the backup to a normal zip which can be flashed as such

If you have the tot file then follow instructions from here and extract following files below..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
Files will be extracted as .mbn but rename it to .img
modem.img, sbl1.img, tz.img, aboot.img, rpm.img, boot.img, recovery.img, laf.img
then copy all files to same folder as to where the exe's are
Download edited batch file for D800 http://www.mediafire.com/download/y78jn368t53jqtk/D800.BAT
Also copy this to where your files are.
Connect your phone then run D800.bat, select D800 then wait for it to finish. Unplug and connect phone to download mode, then try to reflash your phone.
