Rename bml4 to amms and tar it with tar -c command.
Vaguely related to this, but only because I don't want to start yet another N00b thread. I can't find my (exact) firmware on Sammobile, so I was wondering how I could package it up to give it to Sammobile for them to redistribute.
I had/have a similar circumstance.
I was looking for my firmware on Sammobile, but I couldn't see the one for my country. So I requested my firmware as it shows up on KIES, it was the Vodafone NZ most recent 2.3.5 update for the SGA. Something like KS9 KP5 KS3.
Someone pm'd me with a .rar download called GT-S5830_VNZ_S5830XWKS9_S5830VNZKP5_S5830XWKS3.rar
Within the file there is a .tar.md5 file, that I'm not sure what to do with.

It's a one package file .
.tar.md5 is just a normal tar file , except that there's something going on with the headers (as what 7-zip claims)

Hi,
I want to flash I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4 onto my i9100.
I downloaded this file from samsfirmware.com I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4, but it does not contain any files for Odin. It only has a I9100XWKE7_XEUKD1_XXKE4.tar.
However the instructions on samfirmware state that four files are required:
PIT
CSC
PHONE
PDA
If these are not available on Samfirmware, then where are these found?
Otherwise, I shall just flash the PIT file and the .tar file as PDA/PHONE/CSC and see if it works?
Regards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Follow the instructions .

Thank-you. This is far clearer than the Smasung Flash PDF I had.
I have this installed. I shall try some thing sooner but with KE7.
PDA XWKE8
PHONE XXKDJ
CSC EUKD2
Is XXKDJ later or older than XXKE4?
If this is an alphabetical increase then I should think so.
Q1: Actually the guide you referred me to is rather unclear. (But it did help me a lot)
"If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file."
Well, yep. This is clear, but it does not state in which part of Odin one puts the .tar file into. Is it:
1) PDA
2) PHONE
3) CSC
Does anyone know? My monies on PDA, but nothing states precisely which one.
Q2: PIT files. I _want_ to wipe everything out and start again. Think of this as a completely fresh install. Why you cry? Because I am trying to reset _everything_ before I return it back to Samsung as a faulty unit. Resetting (or reinstalling) should confirm or deny whether this is a hardware problem or not. Hence the desire to format all the discs and let it do its (presumably) mkfs.ext4 on the whole lot. Of course, it it does an mkfs on all the current disc partitions using the .tar then I don't mind not repartitioning the discs, but just incase. ;P

Put a multi one in PDA.
OK. Flashed it. Thank-you for your help. I think that it now has a recent radio in it than before.
Currently:-
PDA XWKE7
PH XXKE4
CSC XEUD1
Although, I had an FC whilst trying to set-up the APN on stock...
On a side note:
Its nice to see that Samsung still have not mended their APN settings software since the i9000. One still cannot enter APNs of certain configurations. In this case its Virgin Mobile in the UK. ( I am using a roaming SIM [VirginUK] in Holland to check that the 3G problem is limited to Tele2,NL). Funnily I am not alone: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1696824
Even after flashing stock, the 3G works intermittently in the same was as before.
I shall try and see what happens with KE2. Perhaps this phone needs to use the stock KE2 and its associated radio/csc to work correctly. ( I don't really know, but stock worked exceptionally well when I got the phone. It went a wrong after I flashed a custom ROM with KE7 and KE8).

I used Virgin UK on SGS2 no problem on KDD KDH modem and KD1O2U CSC .
Sometimes the UK carphone warehouse csc CPW covers Virgin better than the standard CSC i found on SGS1 .

Since last night I have tried full PDA/CSC/PHONE for KE2 KE7 and now KF1 (with MultiCSC). I think that this is not a phone problem but a change on the either Tele2 NL or T-Mobile networks. (Tele2 being a MVNO).
I never got the Virgin sim working: Unable to set the APN.
I shall start a new thread about this later in order to diagnose the problem.
The stock roms from samfirmware are zipped in a RAR file.
Inside this RAR file there are files labelled .tar.md5
Are we supposed to relabel these .tar.md5 files to .tar?

Do you mean
1) Put the I9100XWF1_OLBKE5_DXKF1.rar file into ODIN PDA and flash? But this is a rar file!
or
2) MODEM_I9100DXKF1_REV_02_CL1017685.tar.md5 directly into modem, PDA to PDA and CSC to CSC?
ODIN recognizes .tar.md5 files?
good evening
my friend gave me his phone(sgs2 i777 at&t) so that i can flash for him a rom and i accidentally flashed an i9100 rom and now the phone wont flash anything.
the phone wont even boot either.
ive been trying to flash using odin
the phone is recognized by my win 7 computer and luckily i still do get the yellow bar on odin when i connect the phone.
each time a rom(.tar in pda section)(repartition unchecked) is flashed i get a fail
evin the one click odin didnt work and fails
then the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
the only way i can get back to download mode is when i flash the root(GalaxyS2ATTRootZedomax) via odin
i cant get into cwm nor am i sure if there is cwm or not.
I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4_HOME.tar.md5
this is what i flashed
it has no pit
Zedomax is outdated. Simple search would of brought you to this:

I tried to download the I9100 package that you flashed to see exactly what is in it, but it was downloading at only about 10 kb/sec, so I gave up after a couple of hours. I'm guessing that the package contains everything including boot.bin, sbl.bin, param.lfs, pit and csc for the I9100, as well as the other stuff.
If you still have the tar.md5 file, open it with winzip or 7zip or something like that and report back here exactly what it contains.
Most of the files you will need to recover your phone are in the Download Repository, but there are no specific directions there about how to use them in your situation. Will try to help, but am very busy with work for the next few days, so won't be here as often as usual. Be patient.

this is the zip and it only has tar.md5
this is the only thing i get on the phone
and this

also using heimdell all i know how to do is adding driver using zadig which is succesful
no clue how to due command line stuff
Remove the .md5 extention leaning just the .tar extension. A tar is an archive file just like zip or any other archive. Look inside the tar and tell me what files it contains.

Go to the download repository. (Link in my signature, or in one of the posts above.)
Find and flash this Odin3 One-click Downloader:
I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click Downloader: I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.7z (MultiUpload - Contains I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.exe.)
Just in case it doesn't flash successfully, please watch the results to see which elements pass and which one fails. Someone else in your situation had it fail on cache.img, but was eventually able to recover his phone.
This is no more risky than the I9100 that you flashed, but there is always some risk involved when flashing bootloaders.
I'll check in tomorrow to see what your results are.
you do realize you are supposed to EXTRACT the tar out of the zip right? i mean how can ODIN see a file thats INSIDE an archive?
not to mention you are flashing i9100 firmware/bootloaders/param.lfs, basically you are trying to ruin your phone
Try and change USB Slot?

I have two SGS2s running baseband I9100XXKI1 build number GINERBREAD.XWKI4. Which was updated with Kies
I have debranded both and now are XEU
I have rooted both by flashing XWKDD_insecure.tar then running super on click.
I understand to get rid of yellow triangle I need to flash a secure kernel with odin and this should not effect my root.
Problem I'm having is the supposedly correct kernels i download are ZIP files which extract to zImage.
ODIN only looks for TAR files
Obviously i'm doing something wrong just not sure what?
Please help
Thanks

Where'd you get the secure kernel? Intratech's thread has them all, and they are all zipped, but after you unzip them once, they are tarred. if you unzip the tar file, there will be the zImage file. Did you maybe unzip it one too many times? It seems Winzip sees tar files as valid archives, so maybe you extracted it twice?

theres no need to extract the file.it is TAR by itself.if you extract it you'll get zImage.
I would like to know how to take a full tar and break it down so I can flash only the bootloader or firmware only or modem only in pc odin. thanks
i posted the info on the other post

what program is needed to make the .tar.md5 file.???for windows and for a boot loader tar you actually need 5 files=
aboot.mbn
rpm.mbm
sbl1.mbm
sdi.mbm
tz.mbm
i got that far as to what is in a bootloader .i'm stuck in formatting it to tar
what you posted about bootloader there is no sboot.bin actually in the full tar the only thing that ends in bin is modem.bin the files i just posted is what makes a bootloader .tar
fffft said:
How many threads have you posted this in now? One would have been enough.
There are existing threads that ask and answer this question, so a search would have answered it as well. For an Odin flashable modem file, extract modem.bin and nonhlos.bin from the full stock firmware and put both files into a tar archive. That is flashable, but it is good practice to use md5sum to calculate a checksum as well, resulting in a name.tar.md5 archive.
For the bootloader, it should be sboot.bin in a tar archive.

thanks what programs that run in windows would i need for tar format.???
and i don't see were you stated that you posted the name of the md5 program in your last post.???
fffft said:
No. Those are the constituent parts of the compiled binary as I (and others before me as well) posted here have posted in the past. Most recently, a month ago and would have shown up in any reasonable search. Either set in a tar format. And the name of the md5 program was already given in my last post.

Hi guys attaching the PIT file for Galaxy A5 2016 Indian model(A510FD). I extracted it from my device which is currently running on 6.0.1. I haven't yet flashed my device using this so not sure if it will be a good idea to use it to flash your device. I am sharing this since I did not find the PIT file for my device any where after a lot of searching. I followed this tutorial to extract the PIT file from my device. If you want you can try this out at your own risk. If you still go ahead and use this please do post the results here.
I will update this thread once I flash my device using this PIT file.
Please hit thanks if this was helpful.

It should be available in any 4-file firmware's CSC package. This file is named wrong, so please don't try to use it for anything.
Here's the correct pit-file taken from 4-file A510FD firmware. Turns out it's the same as for A510F.

Where and how did you get a 4 file firmware for A510FD? I have tried searching for it but didnt find anything. May be I was doing something wrong. And more over how did you get PIT file from CSC in the 4 file firmware. Can you help me understand?
Any help will be appreciated.
Also you said the naming is wrong and hence dont use it. Why does the file name matter so much? In the tutorial I have linked in OP they dont seem to stress on the naming. Any thoughts?

Can this PIT file be used to flash any nougat also?
Firmware is downloaded with samfirm. 4-file always got the pit in CSC package, and it also resets device compared to the 1 file firmware which doesn't include pit.
Open the csc tar.md5 as archive, and you will find cache.img, hidden.img, and the pit-file.
Pit should be same for all firmwares except for some carrier specific firmwares that includes files in hidden partition. They also got their own pit with a different name.
To be honest I don't think a pit with wrong name even can be used. Odin would deny to flash it cause it wouldn't match the pit on device.
