I made another one of these tutorial's, but it is old, outdated, and confusing.
So mods please could you lock my other thread!
Cheers


Now,
Download your .fbn file from here and download read3150.exe from here

Copy Read3150 to the root of your C: drive, and rename it , extract.exe. Then get your .fbn file, and rename it something, I will rename it firmware for this, example.fbn! Now hold the WinKey and hold the R button, you will get a popup, asking you to run an app, just type in "cmd" and click ok, you will get a black screen, type CD then a backslash, no spaces esato has a problem with typing backslashes. Then click enter
Type extract.exe then a space then example.fbn, and now wait for it too work! It will create a new folder called example.fbn.raw.out with all the extracted firmware in, this folder will be in the root of your C: drive!
Please let me know if you have any problems,
Luke

@xodeus
You have old version of the extractor which is incompatible with DB3210.

Download new version
