I don't know, where did I get it, so it may be outdated or something.
mkyaffs for windows
Here is mkyaffs2 exe file compiled for Windows using Cygwin.
Archive contains makeyaffs and unyaffs files and needed dll's.
P.S. I tryed to use that compiled "mkyaffs"-file to create system.img and img-file really was created, but when I tryed to unpack that system.img (using unyaffs that works normally) I just got "OK"-message from unyaffs and nothing more! No one folder was created! So I think my compiled mkyaffs doesn't work properly. It's creating corrupted img's. :silly:
So the most reliable and right way to pack folders into img's is use mkyaffs on Linux or virtual machine (with booted Linux of course).
P.S.S. I found tool named Yaffey, but I don't know how to get it create system.img

Thank you so much! It's what software I look for exactly.
Hi,
I downloaded a ROM from sammobile.com for my galaxy tab 10.1, and all I want is system.img which is located in a tar.md5 file .
if I extract is with 7zip I get a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
and dsixda kitchen don't seem to recognize it .
any ideas please .
thanks.
Well its simple just rename it to .tar and use winrar to extract it. the md5 extension makes odin calculate a hash to check if the firmware you're flashing is not corrupted.
hi,
I did that and I got a message "there is no correct record at the end of archive"
the files are extracted but I think it is corrupted because dsixda kitchen can't read it.
just extract it by 7-Zip and don't care about message
I have this problem too, my 7-zpi say that can´t open file format unknowed or damage.
your download maybe interupted, try download it again and do md5 checksum

You might be opening the wrong file.
You have to download 2 files:
xxxx.tar
xxxx.tar.md5
the first one is the one you have to open.
the second one is the one that only have the MD5 result of the first.

Redownlaod and try to unzip again. Kitchen should open it, make sure u have kitchen scripts for your phone or edit from flashable zip. Afaik
best idea
dont use 7zip but use unoversal extractor. it will extract everything.
I have the same issue for 5301. I have to get either the recovery or system img for creating a custom rom. Usually samsung firmware files can be extracted using izarc, 7zip or universal extract tool. some can be opened with ultraISO or similar tool. I tried dsixdas kitchen as well. That does not even acknowledge this ROM. These firmwares come as a single tar file with md5 sum attached. There is something different about this ROM file that wont even let let the regular tools see what is inside the file. I tried to open it with a hex editor and it looks similar what a regular tar.md5 file would look. Looking at the log file from universal extractor:

99.3% (.TAR) TAR archive (149/5)
0.6% (.LZMA) LZMA compressed file (1/1)
7-Zip Tar archive extractions cannot be logged.
If Odin can flash these files using the same boot, recovery and system... images then there must be a way to extract these img files. wonder if odin extracts to a temp location?

Use odinatrix to extrat system.img n modem files..
Its the easiest tool do so...
U may also use splitfus2 bt its way trickier to use than odinatrix.

Now there is only one xxx_home.tar.md5 file..
That was old days.
Be a part of new world.
N now u cnt extract through an archve manager.
U need espicial tools like splitfus2 n odinatrix to extract files.
Don't be lazy.

Thanks SArnab! so finally I am able to split the files using odinatrix. Now for this type of turbo ROMs how do I create odin flashable file???
I created a regular odin tar file with md5 sum but that does not go past 'NAND Write Start'. Please advise.

Your pc shud b superfast so that odintrix can work witout lag.
My HP G6 lapi took around 10 mins to extrqct the one .tar.md5 file..
The tool will automatically extract diffrnt .tar files such as modem_xxx.tar pda_xxx.tar n csc_xxx.tar
Now u can use these to flash through odin witout any prb.
U can use pda.tar in kitchen to get boot.img n system.img.
Kitchen will also help u extract sysmtem foldr from system.img.
U can also flash through odin the single .tar.md5....
Choose that in pda field...
Odin is smart enough to do rest of the part.
Don't be lazy.

Appreciate the quick response. I guess my question was not clear enough. I extracted the recovery and created a clockwork recovery named recovery.img. Now I want to flash this recovery back on the device. I created the tar file using:
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > CWMrecovery.tar
md5sum -t CWMrecovery.tar >> CWMrecovery.tar
mv CWMrecovery.tar CWMrecovery.tar.md5
When I flash this using odin3_v3.07 md5 is verified but he flash does not go through and stops at NAND write start. Is there a special way to create a odin flashable tar.md5 file foe these turbo firmwares?

System App
how to install custom system ui/android status bar on system. my device gt-s6802. what's compatible with mine??
Ive done a backup on my phone and created a flashable zip (update.zip)
Now im playing around with dsixda's kitchen and trying to extract the system.tar, however it fails most likely due to fact the the system.tar is empty
the files in the archive are as follows
Meta-inf -- <folder>
boot.img -- <8192KB>
image-edify -- <1KB>
system.ext4.tar -- <0KB>
system.ext4.tar.a -- <976,563KB>
system.ext4.tar.b -- <68,151KB>
By the looks of things it has split the system.ext4.tar because its over a gig
How can i compile this into one file or one image so that the kitchen can read it, I'm on a windows 7 PC but i can run linux in a vbox if necessary.
Thanks
Try using the zip file in your input folder.
dsixda's kitchen should be able to extract from it

Already tried, it comes back saying its deleting the part a and part b files and then says the system.ext4.tar isnt a valid archive.
Is it a stock rom?
If so, download the firmware from sammobile and put the tar.md5 file into your input folder (after removing the .md5 suffix).
Thats worked for me in the past....
It is stock, but i have removed the bloatware, installed a few mods, i was hoping to use this particular one really as a base. Ive already played around with fully stock and i kind of broke the whole thing
I'm not too sure then unless theres some tool you can find to merge the 3 tar files into 1...
Never had to do it so I'm unable to suggest anything I'm afraid.
[Q] What are file format of firmware flash files ".img" (inside the .tar.md5)
Hello,
Sorry, evtl. could someone help me: What are the file formats of the mlo, cache, factoryfs, hidden and modem files in those evrywhere available "nameblabla.tar.md5" files? SquashFs?
Evtl. could someone provide me links to Android dev pages for that, before I get mad in googlin for.
Thanks

Good evening,
I'd like to apologise first for my english, as it may not be perfect.
I'm trying to backup some app with adb backup (giving me a .ab file), transform the .ab file to a .tar file, extract the .tar file and change some files in it, then repack the .tar file (this is my problem) , then restore it to the phone.
I'm using windows, and my phone is not rooted.
I managed to get the app with adb backup, managed to transform the .ab file into a .tar file, managed to extract the .tar file and change some files in it, but i can't find how to repack the .tar file. This is the main problem, as i think once the .tar file is well repacked, the restoration with adb will be easy. I found some topics about it, but seems that repacking a .tar file is not that easy as I need to get the header from the .ab file and recreate the .tar file with it. All the solutions I found are for linux, and I'm really not quite good with it, so any solution with Windows would be awesome.
Hope anyone can help me,
Thanks
