Before Extracting

After extracting

Answer 1

Download and install 7-Zip, right click on the extracted file and click on "Open with 7-Zip".

Answer 2

It's no ordinary image file. Assuming that you want to flash your device, the steps in brief are:

1. Backup if necessary.
2. Download and install Android SDK Tools. (Use the installer_*-windows.exe executable)
3. After the installation is completed, run Android SDK Manager.
4. Check and install both 'Android SDK Platform-tools' and 'Google USB Drivers'. No other boxes need to be checked.
5. Plug the device into your computer.
6. Open command prompt and cd into 'Android-SDK-Manager\platform-tools' directory.
7. In terminal window (cmd), run the command fastboot devices to Confirm that the device is indeed being detected.
8. Boot the device into Fastboot/Bootloader Mode.
9. Extract the downloaded factory image file (7-zip recommended). Browse to that folder and then copy and paste all the files into 'platform-tools' directory.
10. Run the file flash-all.bat to start the flashing process.
