How to open SBF file?
The main problem with Android System Format is that the SBF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SBF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 2. Create association of Google Android with SBF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SBF file to open in the Google Android application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SBF file with the Google Android program.
Step 3. Update Google Android to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Android program with the Android System Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Google Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SBF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SBF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SBF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SBF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SBF files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SBF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SBF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
