after a few attempts at the file with zip -F and zip -FF and 7zip and some other repairing tools,
when running zipdetails
it says : Unexpecded END at offset 00122462, value D40D148C
.
can I somehow use a hex editor to fix it? what does it mean "Unexpecded END at offset .., value ..." ?
thanks!

The "unexpected END" message means that zipdetails couldn't read the zip file. Did it print anything apart from that message? Also, did "zip -F" and the other tools recover any of the zip file? – pmqs Feb 26 '20 at 21:02

it printed "000000 PREFIX DATA". zip -FF recovered an empty file :( – amirzau Feb 26 '20 at 21:04

1If "zip -FF" cannot salvage anything from the file then you are out of luck.The zip file contains no useful data. – pmqs Feb 26 '20 at 21:38
