Hey XDA,
I've endlessly raped the search bar in look for an answer to this, found some. Didn't work. I downloaded: CF-Root-SGS2_CE_XEN_KI2-v4.2-CWM4.zip
Extracted using WinRar, didn't work, then 7Zip and I am STILL getting a zImage file without the .tar/.tar.md5 connotation. Getting quite annoying since I don't know what to do.
Hope you can help me,

What are you trying to do is the question you downloaded KI2 root file a guess says you are trying to root your phone .
The instructions are simple unzip the download and you get a zipped file DO NOT unzip that file .
You are unzipping the zipped file and then unzipping the tar file to its component zimage .

Thanks JJEgan, I too was getting frustrated at not being able to find a TAR file.. Phone rooted again.. Noice..

I'm new to rooting,
Android Version= 2.3.3
Baseband Version= I9100NEKF2
Kernel version= 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF4-CL280512
Build Number= GINGERBREAD.XWKF4
Firstly am i looking for KF2 or KF4?
I downloaded the zip file for KF2 from chainfire afew posts down where he writes "yet more downloads" but i get a zImage file being extracted instead of the .tar file i expected.
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.
Regards.

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.

That's the right file you downloaded. I just checked for you again, and I do get .tar file if I extract that downloaded zip with 7Zip/WinRar. Don't know why aren't you getting it!!!

I just tried it with 7zip aswell. I dont understand this
Is there anything else you can recommend?
Cheers
Are you downloading a kernel instead of the cwm and root file .
As said 6mb file zipped unzip that file open the folder and inside is a tar file . Flash the tar file do not open it .
You are opening the tar file is your problem .
jje
What's the size of the zip you downloaded, is it ~6 MB?
Make sure you are downloading this one,

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.

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??
Hey i got a question and it doesn't seem such an easy one. I am trying to use the android SDK emulator to emulate roms posted here in the development section. The problem is i can't really find a way how to do it. Some say that you can just replace the system.img file, but i can't even find that image file.. If i make a backup of my rom i won't obtain a system.img file.. only a system.ext4.tar file. I guess its caused by the fact my system is ext4.
You have to unpack the .tar file. If the links no use, just google 'unpack .tar' and a load of ideas will be there for you.

Oke the .tar file contains the system directory. If i create an .img file from this is it possible to load it into an emulator? y/n? it seems not many people are trying to do this or it is impossible. i don't know which one it is.

Honestly I haven't a clue. Just experiment and report back. ;-)
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.
Hello,
Sorry for a noob question, I tried to search for solution, but couldn'f find anything.
I downloaded last update from sammobile.com, and would like to update my phone, but downloaded zip file does not contains md5 or tar, but folders like META-inf, patch, preload, recovery system and sboot.bin file.
Could you please advice me how to update this firmware to my phone?

i didn't unzp anything. I said that zip file that I downloaded from sammobile web site does not contain tar or MD5 file, but the folder structure.
No idea then what you actually downloaded .
Requirement is a tar file not a zip.
Try the sammobile forum for answers .
Or use CHECKFUS
