Hi all,
I am wondering what you have to do to make a tar file that Odin can flash to a phone?I would like to just flash a kernel do you just tar up the kernel and use the piut file and flash it with Odin?
bump
This also interests me.
Yes, i want to know too,
i tried swapping kernels from an already made (and working) tar, tried creating a new tar under linux (using tar command) and under windows using 7zip,,,,, nothing worked.
Is this tar file being created in a special way? do i need to pass some parameters while doing the tar?

This should help you, tell me if it works! lol
@bobbbb: Sorry dude,, but that wasn't help full at all. and please don't think that you are the only one who knows about google or other search engines.
The question that we are having a problem with is not how to make a tar file... Thank you, I already know how to do that. BUT i want a tar file that works with ODIN for the Galaxy S.
so if you have an answer then tells us or save you valueable time and go read other threads and read them carefully.

If u are so prepared in bootimage-s, and signed packs tell me why do you bother writeing bull****.
Use the search and type in "create Odin tar" darkyy posted a tutorial on the i9000 forums for doing it in Linux. There is also a windows tool/program that does it and that is linked in that same thread.

Hello,
I hope I don't break any rules,
but I have a question regarding odin,
I followed this thread, and since I can't post there, I'm trying here.
So my question is, is it possible to make an Odin flashable file from the files that I got from the thread I followed, since I prefer to flash with Odin.
Kind regards!

Cwm recovery won't raise your custom binarie counter !
Odin will.
And to flash with ODIN means you would be able to make from your files an ext4.img and then convert it to a stock samsung (linux ?) specific .img then put your .img in a .tar and flash it via Odin.
I didn't see any tool for this.

Do you know another way of making creating a custom rom that can be flashed with Odin?
I'm going to try if I can find myself too
Hi there.
I have asked the same question several times in Chains thread now but had no replies from anyone for some reason, so thought I'd ask here instead.
Basically, I want to root my phone but keep the stock rom and have clockworkmod recovery so I can flash a new rom (MIUI when it's stable), but not too sure what to do. After speaking to samjpullen he pointed me in the direction of Chains thread. For what I want, is this the right thing to do?
If so, I already downloaded the Odin thingy. But I need a .tar file which I think must be the CF-root downloads further down in the thread. If so which one do I need? And is there anything more I need from there?
Sorry for the long question, just want to be safe doing this. Thanks in advance.
In phone type *#1234#, note the last 3 characters from each line (they will all be the same). Use odin to flash the same file from Chains thread.

Pick one to match your firmware and region .
Flash through Odin as PDA only .
You now have stock rom with non stock rooted Kernel and CWM .
jje
So after I have entered that into the dialer, do I use the last 3 characters of the PDA one for the cf-root download? KE2?
Yep KE2 root .
jje
Thanks a lot!
What are the consequences of flashing the wrong .tar file?
edit: nevermind, I went ahead and did it anyway. I don't know why I worried so much, it was so easy and done in a few minutes.
I want to use the Cognition Rom and its based on KE7. My phone is KE2. Can I flash the KE7 kernel from CF-Root and then flash the Cognition Rom?

Sir,
I have Galaxy S II variant i9100G (from India). I would like to know can I use custom rom Cyanogenmod 7.2 (update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-galaxys2-signed) on my phone? Where can I get .tar or .tar.md5 files to use in odin? I am scared to do any experiment on my phone due to bricking risk. Kindly help .
thank you in advance.
One more question. Can I change odin into clockwork recovery, as am pretty much comfortable using it.

Hi,
I have a little, maybe silly question, i was reading a thread of Odia, and i just want to understand that if I use .Pit for flashing and tick Re-Partition, do I need to flash a Stock ROM (Im ony using stock roms) that comes with bootloader? or can I get the latest ICS Stock Rom from intratech or sammobile and flash it with the .Pit ?
Resuming;
Will my bootloader get erased in this process?
Will all the system files be erased because of the re-partition? (Like when we create a new partition in Windows and everything that was on HD gets lost forever lol) ??
Thank you in advance ! =D

No. Never click repartitions or play with pit files. Judging by you not knowing how Odin is spelled, you do not know how to use it

Yeah.. i was talking about a thread started by Odia (Xda member) in developers area... I cant post there yet coz im new here in this forum, but i read it very often since i got my SGSII in 2011..
We can't play with .Pit but We should use when phone is bricked and u cant go on recovery mode (only in download mode), that happens when Nand-rw is broken, and thats can only be fixed re-partitioning your phone with .Pit.
Now my question is.. re-partitioning will reset my bootloader so I will have to flash a Rom with one or not..?
Thank you by ur concern anyway ! =D
Ps: Judging is not cool..
Hey, if u got here in this thread and has the same question as I did, i got the answer..
After reading this thread (Guide)
I found that the bootloader is NOT erased when using .Pit and re-partitioning, bootloader is only replaced if u flash a new one using Odin. So there is no need to use .Pit and re-partition with a bootloader at the same time.
If u are new and dont know what .Pit files are or how to use them, read carefully the thread i linked above.
Thank You to everybody who read this post and took a minute thinking about the answer !
I am a noob using a sgs2(international version) running CM9 stable and for certain reasons I want to restore it to the state i got it, i already used the Triangle Away app and removed the triangle and reset the counter and i also understand that flashing the stock rom doesn't increase the count but I don't know about the matter related to restoring to stock I watched a couple of videos and I am confused in some cases they are using 3 or more files in the procedure, like in Odin they have a file for PDA, Kernel, Csc likewise and some are just talking about using only the PDA file, so could someone explain what is happening?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could give me a link to a unbranded US or UK stock gingerbread 2.3.6 (i cant understand what to select from the other forums because I can't understand files named KHJS_LHDG ..... Etc ) and a way to use that rom with Odin to go back to perfect out of the box situation.

there are 2 formats for the stock rom. 1 .rar archive with all CODE MODEM KERNEL CSC as tar.md5 files compressed in a .rar archive.. and the other is the single .tar.md5 file that inside have all in one (kernel, modem...).
if you flash the single tar.md5 it will replace your entire ROM including kernel & modem.
if you flash the multiple file inside the .rar you must put the files you unzipped in their respective slots. be careful with that. I think for this method is needed also a PIT file but I'm not sure.
I always flash the single .tar.md5 file because it's easier

Thanks a bunch that cleared up many of my doubts, so that's it people whoever is confused and reading this, I am perfectly satisfied.
Stock firmware flashing after reseting the counter does remove all traces of root and sammobile gives all the stock firmware needed for your phone. Just be careful enough to select the right version for your model and region and also if present your carrier brand.

No. One tar.md5 file means only CODE, so it won't replace your modem. Kernel of course, but not modem.
Ive flashed a few stock roms and SU icon is still there.Whether Samsung would knock back warranty because of that I dont know.

Then you didn't wipe properly.
Be sure to wipe /data, /system & /cache from your custom recovery before flashing stock firmware to be sure. Just a factory reset after flasing probably is enough but why not take advantage of the custom recovery to wipe all and be sure

yes it is the right list but at least all the single tar.md5 files I've downloaded have a modem file inside so that is why I said that those files modifies the modem

I think that the rom with many files like code modem csc and pit are mostly used to unbrick
And the single md5 required baseband version to flash or otherwise they will not be able to flashed

Agreed it's what is implied, after all pit files are used to partition out the internal eMMc, i read that people recovered from the eMMc brick on faulty chips by using this.

Thanks, but what I meant was whether the modem package is included within the tar.md5 file since the rest (CSC, Pit, ..) are apparently included.
Hmmm maybe if I try extraction of the tar file could I get my answer? Or will it be complicated jibberish or can I extract it at all?
I plan on Reaming tar.md5 to just tar for extraction.

For choosing your rom take a look for yourself here;

You are welcome.
A note about the pit when you have it:
most of the time, you don't have (and should not) tick these boxes
in Odin.
I used a pit once because I though it would repair my filesystem,
and in someway it did, but most of the time in all flashing tutorial the advice
is not using it.
Hi,
Thanks for this post i found it really helpful,i messed up my custom kernel settings if i flash the stock rom will it also reset the kernel settings.
