I just read a another tutorial about this and if your new it's kinda long, maybe confusing. So hopefully this is better. Options are always better
You'll need only a couple things
7zip
the ruu of choice
unyaffs batch script (included)
autosign (check my signature)
Download the ruu of choice and begin to run it
press ctrl,alt,del and open taskmanager, select aruwizard.exe and go to file location.
Scroll through the file and find rom.zip move it to your desktop or other conveniant location.
Close the ruu then unzip the rom.zip with 7zip
unzip the unyaffs batch file
inside the rom.zip you'll find system.img and boot.img
move the system.img into the unyaffs folder and double click the unyaffs.bat
In the out file will be all the files from the system.img
Now take the boot.img and the files from the system.img and put them in the same folder
In that same folder make a meta-inf folder and put your update script in there
zip it all up and sign it
I get this error, when using the tool. What should I do?
i tried too many times but when i want to open rom.zip after copying from aurwizard.exe location will say rom.zip is invalid .
can any one clarify if it is working in windows 8 ?m
Hello. Is it possible to flash a zip Rom using Odin? I need to flash a zip.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using XDA
yes, just take whats inside the zip and make it into a tar.md5 file and that way you can flash it through odin.
PD: it's better to make it .tar.md5 in a linux machine, don't know why doesn't seem to work on windows.

a .tar.md5 is just a .zip renamed?

you can't blindly do a .tar file of extracted files coz Odin wouldn't recognize it like Meta inf is a script for cwm not Odin the rom is packed in such a way that cwm installs it not Odin
Could I use fastboot? I am not having a nice day, my phone is not reading the zip file because it thinks it is corrupted.

you need to flash it via recovery...fastboot wont work redownload the file...........
just extract the zip file ,click with right mice button and choos extract,you get a SS_DL.dll document and a tar.MD5 package.
I got this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
that references odin in the subject of the thread. I tried flashing it via cwm, but kept getting a black screen on boot after the s4 screen.
so I wanted to try odin. but it's a zip. Is there a process to convert to tar.gz? Do I just extract, then recompress to a tar.gz?

Ahh, that's because in the \system\etc\terminfo\e\ directory there are two files with the respective names: Eterm and eterm. Linux file names are case-sensitive, Windows file names aren't,so Windows will overwrite one. If you then create a gz file, one of the files is missing.

I have tried this already....
but Odin Pops up a window saying: ".md5 binary is invalid"
tar/tar.gz from zip file
have seen this question a lot.
to create the tar file, you normally have to be in a Unix environment and an app like File-Roller can do the job of compressinf the files you extracted from the original zip file.
Allright, the solution is simple. You don't even need a Linux machine!
First, check your ZIP file. Does it contain a folder only? And are there some files in that folder? Then you have to make a ZIP file, which only contains those files, otherwise Odin cannot flash it. If there are just some files (and folders?) in your ZIP file, you can just leave it as it is.
Then, you have to download this little tool (direct link) and the thread here . Extract it somewhere you like to have it.
Place your ZIP file in the main directory (the folder where Runme.bat is located) and rename it to yourfile.img, then run Runme.bat (as Admin, probably?)
Now you have a TAR file!
Have a nice day,

how can i extract a full rom to use with dsixda kitchen version 0.224? im trying to extract it with 7zip but even though it extracts it i get an error when doing so. all i want to do is get a stock rom to work (extract it and set it up) with the kitchen to do a rom.
so far:
1. downloaded rom from sammobile.com/firmwares/
- it downloads in zip format and after extracting the zip i get a tar.md5 file and a dll file
2. trying to extract full rom to use in kitchen, which is where im stuck...
thanks in advance

Here I'm posting how to convert .kdz file into a Flashable zip file, The list of files you needed are
Official kdz file
kdz extractor
LGwinTools
ext2explore
Cygwin (If you are a windows user) from here
dsixda's kitchen This Thread
1. Extract the kdz extractor to the new folder, just drag and drop the kdz file to the unpack_kdz.bat. You will find the .cab file in the same directory where you have kdz.
2. Drag and drop the cab file to unpack_cab.bat. The dz file will be extracted to /dz folder in the same directory.
3. Now extract and open LGwinTools file->open locate the dz file. Items will be displayed in bin files, now click on save to any new folder.
4. We need two files SYSTEM and APPS. Extract and run ext2explore then locate the SYSTEM file, it will load. Now click on save to any new directory(make sure the folder name is system)
5. Now rename the file APPS to "boot.img" (you have extracted from LGwinTools)
6. Make an archive .zip containing \system boot.img \META-INF(attached below)
6 Next process will be installing "Cygwin" read this
7. Installing dsixda's Kitchen read this
8. After you installation you have move the created zip file to \kitchen\original_update (In my case it is "C:\Cygwin\home\Santhoosh\Kitchen\original_update")
9. Run Cygwin
Code:
cd kitchen
./menu
10. Setup working folder and go to Advanced option select "Deodex files in your rom" MAKE SURE YOU SET THE API LEVEL TO 19 and choose both system and framework
11. After this "Rename the app folder in /system to app1" "priv-app to app" in WORKING Directory
12. Now again go for Deodex and deodex the remaining files. after completion rename app to priv-app and app1 to app.
13. Make sure the updator-script is untouched
14. Do zip align(optional) and make any other changes you want.
15. Remove unnecessary app like GooglePlus etc. Remove the Qtranslator and Polarisviewer apk and odex files.
Note: After Deodexing the LG Keyboard will not work, Remove it and add any other keyboard to app folder.
16. Now move to working folder and make a zip file of all. (/system /META-INF boot.img)
17. FLASH IT :laugh::laugh:
18. To Gain root access you have to download this and flash SU
I tried to unpack kdz file, but the programm (unpack_kdz.bat) didn't work. The text in a window is : "Error! LGExtract.exe is not internal or external command, programm or batch file". Why did this error happened? I use windows 7 x64

you can root by flashing this file
SuperSU
kdz_extractor modified
download and use this, dont download the kdz_extractor in the main thread.
So.. for the last step is, we don't have to build using kitchen but just archive the working folder instead?

I accidentally deleted DefaultContrainerService.apk and now I can't install apps. Can someone tell how can I extract system.img.ext4 to get it back?
I think Android Kitchen can do that.

7-Zip
7-Zip cannot read .img.ext4 files. I used program called sgs2toext4 and now the file is .ext4.img and 7-Zip can read it but it can't extract any .so files. I need to get libdefcontrainer_jni.so from /system/priv-app/DefaultContrainerService/lib/arm.

Use for that the EXT2 unpacker tool,
https://androidfrog.com/5gt67f
Select Package and then the directory where you want to extract it.
Doesn't work. It can't save that .so file.
same problem here, i try to extract cache.img from S8 firmware (G950FXXU1AQJ1/G950FOXM1AQJ1/G950FXXU1AQJ1/G950FXXU1AQJ1 , 20171018104053) . using ImgExtractor 1.3.7 it extracts , but the extracted zip cannot be opened by any program, with ext4_unpacker (after i fix the img header 4 bytes using sgs4ext4fs) it gives 'list index out of bounds' when i try to extract the zip, using CacheRipperUX it extracts the zip from img but when i try to open the zip using 7-zip it only sees a few files, when i try to open with Winrar it sees full list but cannot extract any of them because it give archive corrupted.
i found a solution: convert the original cache.img (samsung sparse ext4) to raw ext4 using simg2img , and the resulted .img file open with 7-zip and extract the content. My zip content was extracted correctly.
Is there any app for android which can extract .img files like system.img?
