Write-up: "cannot find central directory" — Realme Flash Tool (full)

Summary

When attempting to use the Realme Flash Tool (or unpack/handle its ZIP/firmware package), the error “cannot find central directory” typically indicates a corrupted or incomplete ZIP archive, a non-ZIP file being treated as ZIP, or an archive using a format the tool doesn't recognize. This prevents the flash tool from reading the package’s file table (the ZIP central directory), blocking firmware installation or extraction.

  1. Download OZIP Extractor (search for "OZIP to OFP tool" on XDA Developers or Realme forums).
  2. Place the .ozip file in the same folder as the extractor.
  3. Run cmd (Command Prompt) as Administrator in that folder.
  4. Execute: ozip_decrypt.exe yourfile.ozip
  5. Wait for the process to finish. You will get a file ending in .ofp (e.g., RMX3370_11_F.15.ofp).
  6. Point the Realme Flash Tool to this .ofp file instead of the .ozip.
