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 canĀ“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:

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.

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.

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?

what am I doing wrong? where is the right root kernel for me? I want to use Chainfire's as he provides everything in one.
Thanks.
You need to know your PDA version, not baseband. *#1234# in keypad and see it. Then download the same XXX.zip from CF thread. If you download that .zip file then you will get .tar after extraction, then to get the zImage you have to extract that .tar file again.

Thnks, my PDA is XWKF4 so I just downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4. The same thing happens when I extract though. the zImage is for when you already have root to flash from SDcard isnt it? I havent got root.

I just flashed UHLB2 from Intratech's thread.
My phone downloaded the file fine, and Odin had a green 'PASS!' in the top left corner. I think it installed OK as well as I saw the word 'Sucessfully (something)' just before it rebooted.
But now trying to turn it on, the phone is in a perpetual state of starting up. It just replays the starting animation over and over again.
What is wrong?
Also, I noticed the file I downloaded was ~286MB, as opposed to ~333MB in the file from sammobile. Intratech's file was .7zip, and sammobile's was just .zip.

I'm just speculating... I don't think 7zip files are compatible with Odin. That's probably your problem. The 7zip file from Intratech will contain compatible zip files. You can extract it using the program 7zip(freeware) which I'd highly recommend for general use anyway.

Yeah I do unzip the files with 7zip, after which it is a .md5 file.
And I've flashed many times before using that method so I don't think it's that. Thanks anyway.
.7zip file is not supported by Odin.
You need to extract that .7zip file, you will get .zip file that supported by Odin.
I think the downloaded file you used is incomplete. Most of the file sizes downloaded are around 350MB or higher. Recommend you re-download the file again or even an older release and re-flash the phone.

No. Odin can flash .md5 so you should leave it. md5 files actually help because Odin can check the md5 hash and stop if the file is corrupt/incomplete.
But you have to extract it from 7z because it can't flash that.
Sounds like you've got an incomplete file if the file size is less than what you'd expect. Re-download and try flash again.
Also, to those saying extract the 7zip file; I'm pretty sure OP said he had done that before flashing and had used the .md5 file. Unless I'm reading his posts wrong, in which case, yes unzip the 7zip file and flash the .md5.

Hm..
I've downloaded and flashed again, but I have the same problem. The new file was bigger than the original one, so the original was probably incomplete. But the file has been at about 274MB for about 6 hours now on Intratech's post. I guess I'll just have to stick to LA4 for now then.

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.

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.

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,

Hey everyone
I have a question which I coudn't find anywhere on the forum for an answer...
I have a firmware for my galaxy ace named S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.md5
and I wanted to edit the baseband so I could make it work in my S5830L by just changing "amss" file...
But I can't change it if they are in .md5 and if I change the file to .zip and transfer amss, I can't change it back to .md5
How can I turn S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.zip into S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.md5
I don't know if you understand my question...
so here is what i understood you want to extract the. tar file change a file and repack it right. ... how different is the l version different from the Normal one

Oh, but what do you mean with changing the checksum
the checksum is only to check if the file is corrupt or not or if it has been modified...
well checksum adds up all the files finds it's size and store's it when yoy change a file they may be of different: sizes so the checksum verification fails

Its not like im using the same .md5 file.
All I did was extract all the files from the .md5
Repacked them into a .tar file and it should be flashable through Odin...
Since its not .md5 it won't do a checksum
I added the .tar file into Odin - "One Package" and doesn't give me any error or anything... So I guess it should work the same as changing baseband does.
EDIT:
Thanks alot for your help
I managed to repack all the files to make a firmware flashable through Odin
All I did was this
$ tar -H ustar -c (all unpacked files in here) > firmware.tar
$ md5sum -t firmware.tar >> firmware.tar
$ mv firmware.tar firmware.tar.md5
I just flashed it through Odin and no problems at all
i thought that you were using the base ace rom by changing the file so said that checksum would vary btw your problem is solved right edit the title thread to solved it will say others time.....
