As we know 7z file of archive format is used for storing compressed files and sometime creates frustrating time for its users at the time when they unable to open the 7z file. There will be lots of techniques available on the internet which help to repair the corrupt 7z file. Below post help you to know how to deal with with corrupt 7z file.

I archived some files using the 9.20 version four weeks ago. Most of the files were xlsx, txt, pdf, and doc. I used a long password to secure them. Four days later the archive refused to extract with the error message "Can not open file 'a.7z' as archive".

Judging by the start of archive, some of your files are already lost. I think it is hardware fault. What medium is it - HDD, SSD? There is a risk of losing other files, so I suggest to back up the most important of them immediately.

I manually changed the hex values in the first two rows, which had 16 pairs of characters in each, and on entering the password, the program returned a list of files which seems about right in its length and has the format '(Item number) Data error : Wrong password? : path/filename.***' for every file. The second row or item reads : Warnings: Headers Error. The filenames and extensions appear right. The compressed and uncompressed sizes of the archive appear right. However, I could not trace any extracted file in its original form in the nominated subdirectory on the file explorer.

I do not know how to tell if it was a "solid" archive. The medium was (a partition/ volume of) the HDD. I checked the volume for errors (chkdsk utility? from My Computer menu) yesterday and found none. I had neither tested the archive nor opened it after creating it. While I had created the archive in version 9.20, I used 7-Zip 9.38 beta version to get the extraction results described above today.

1) If archive was compressed in "Solid" mode, and you have exact copies of some files from archive, you can create similar archive with good copies of files with same settings and in same order, and replace "bad" parts of bad.7z with "good" parts from another good.7z.

2) you need to modify 7-Zip source code, so it will use IV for AES from bad archive instead of random value for IV when you create new archive. Only in that case you can recover exact data of original archive.

Look at the "Block" column in 7-Zip File Manager. Solid mode puts several files in a single block and compresses it as a single file; when you lose some data, it is impossible (for ordinary users - Igor's method requires certain qualification) to extract any file from that point to the end of the block. That is, if all of your files are in block 0, then the chances for recovery are very low.

The archive was created with the Solid Block Size field value of 2 GB, which I think was the default value. Does that make it the "Solid" mode? If not, do I have other options for recovering the files?

You can open archive, press "Info" button and look "Blocks" value. Block=1 means that archive has one solid block. So you need to recover corrupted data at start of archive (starting from offset 32). Look also "Method" property. Is it "LZMA 7zAES" method?

On pressing the info button in 7-Zip File Manager, the program brings up the Properties dialogue box in respect of whichever file or folder that is highlighted. I am unable to see any "Blocks" field to read the value we want, on any tab in the dialogue box. What could I be missing?

Not quite sure what your question is. If you mean an 'opened archive' by an open archive, my experience is as described above. I ran the program (to open the archive) again only to make sure I was pressing the Info button in the correct order. If there is a specific difference, I would like to educate myself. Please feel free to respond at your leisure, I can wait. Regards.

Jeremy, can you enter the archive itself? Once in File Manager, put a cursor onto it and hit Enter (or Ctrl+PgDn). You should see archived files then - you told above you had already seen them. Now press "Info".

I take it that now I should follow the instructions contained in document -zip.org/recover.html. Should I be using the source code for version 9.20 or 9.38, given that the corrupt archive was made with 9.20?

When I did (called?) '7z l a.7z > list.txt' in command prompt mode, a list of files appeared. If 7 zip encrypted/ archived the files in the corrupt folder in the same order in which the file names appeared on the command prompt screen, then the files occurring at the start of the listing are the ones which have become corrupt. I do not have unencrypted/ good copies of any of these files; except perhaps one or two which I can attempt to build from scratch and hope they would be identical to the original ones. Do I have any hope of recovering the archive or any of the files? Are you or would anyone else using these forums be aware of any tools/ little tricks that might help?

The 7-zip data error as described by definition is the error when you are unable to recover the data. This can be a real problem if you have a lot at stake. 7-zip website states that this error connotes that the data cannot be recovered but you can restore the data if you have archived the data. This article gives you an insight into how you can achieve that. By having an exact copy of your data in the bad archives this problem can be fixed as discussed. Below are some proposed methods to fix the 7-zip data error with ease and let you not distract to find out a way to keep things going. This atrocity can be solved if you have exact copies of files in the archives. Firstly, let's look at the problem at hand, i.e. what is the 7-zip data error and what are the causes?

The zip format of a file is an open-source format for access to information. It is defined in a special structure ZIP Application Note. The information that can be recorded in two comparable Zip file headers is equivalent by definition. In other words, the information or data recorded in the central directory should be an exact copy of the data available in the local directory. It needs to be accurate. As the Zip file format is open, there is an equal likelihood of receiving a Zip file with simple header issues. It may be a minor mistake when creating the Zip file in an application or software. However, the WinZip can report to you the minuscule mistakes and will treat any inconsistencies in the file format or header information as a potential security risk and report to you that the file is corrupt. Some of these issues may be solved through the Zip file fix routine.
