Odin helped save my phone. It's still quirky, but functional. Would like to odin a new/current rom. Is this possible, and how do I change zip rom to md5/tar?
Thanks, PY47

Honestly, for the time involved, and the space and ODIN file takes up compared to a .zip file, it's not worth it.

What if you have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G? Then your only option is to use an md5 file with odin. How to we go by converting these files we get into a zip to use with odin? Thanks.
You have to have a program like winzip to unzip the file.

Do you have to be rooted for this to work?
Nope, this is going to be done from your computer. Depending on which package you choose it will include root after its finished flashing.

I have been trying to find a stock Odin file all day to go back to pure unrooted stock for my s3. Has anyone else been able to find one?

I already downloaded the link your posted but it is a zip file. Is there some way to rename this or can it be flashed as is with Odin?

Hello.
According to this, I have to download "1.1/4.0 KERNEL IN .TAR FOR ODIN" since my phone is not rooted. However, I can't find the "1.1/4.0 version in the list" and if I download the newest version, there's nothing with .tar extension.
Can anybody help me where I can find the file or suggest any other kernel that has CWM? I don't care about the quality of the kernel, I just need the CWM to be able to access my files via USB.
Thank you.
Agreed. That link takes you to a Page of zip files. Can you flash the older tar file via odin in PDA to gain root then flash newest version as a zip via CWM.

I'd flash any version, even the oldest one, but I can't find any .tar files I could flash.
Look further down the Page there is a tar file there

Trying to go back to stock 100%, cannot seem to find a good Odin file (T-Mobile Vibrant), either links are broken or lead to some stupid ad or something, I just can't find a stock image...
Any help?

The actual stock image? I'm not looking for the Odin program, I am looking for the stock tar,
and yes I know about the "skip" button. It takes me to some stupid "internet vs hollywood" page or something stupid...

Yeah, I highly recommend this guide as a reference for anybody who uses Odin. Experienced or not. The guide can be found by following this link... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106.

Does anyone know how I can find a TAR version of a rom I can flash using Odin?? (as I cant boot my phone)
They all seem to be CWM zips :/
Just extract the zip using winrar
