Here is a link off google for a free .rar extractor which will give you the .ftf from inside of it that you put in the extractor.
I got the file to open myself when I used this yesterday.
Download it and try it.
Tell me if you need help with the extractor itself.
Thanks gonna try it

well actually kinda feel lost when im using this tool hopefully you can tell me a step by step on how to get the files so i can put them onto the flashtool and i can flash it?
thanks alot +1 if it works
If u downloaded the software, open it and press the open archive button get pick the file to be unpacked. Press extract and once its extracted take the computers mouse and drag the file to the open flashtools firmware folder which should be the now a .ftf file.
Then use flashtool.
Tell me if u still need help

So did u try my instructions? I also would delete the other files in the firmware folder besides the one u are flashing.
If this doesnt help, google other .rar file openers and stuff near that line and that could help too. There is a ton on that stuff.

The flashtool does not flash any RAR files, only FTF files. What RAR file did you download exactly? You might be dealing with 2 different problems.

let me be of some assistance tou you all. it seems a few of you are still learning.
1. since you have already downloaded the winrar program... you dont need to do this step
2. rather than open winrar or the archive tool which you have downloaded... right click on the file till you see extract files or extract here...
3. drag the files that were extracted and put them in the firmware folder inside flashtool..
4 open flashtool program
5. at the top left you will see a few tabs... choose the one that says advanced
6. scroll to the bottom where it says bundle creation.... when the next window pops up... select the files that you set in the firmware folder...
7. they will show up in the box on the left..
8. highlight them all by pressin ctrl+a and then drag them all into box on the right
9. the three empty slots on top need to be filled in. type something.. in all three
10. select ok and wait for it to run and finish
11. from here you can click on flash, choose your firmware the one that you named.. click ok... plug in device when prompted...wait till finished.... enjoy a beer or your woman.... most likely a beer.. lol
good luck

Wow really??? Anyway he was never clear about the RAR file he downloaded in the first place. For all we know he got a zipped/RAR file that's for XRECOVERY which would explain why it wouldn't work. He already mentioned that he extracted the file to the firmware directory of the flashtool and it didn't work that's why I asked what RAR file he downloaded cause it's most likely not the correct file.

Yes really but I didn't take it personally, merely surprised with your opening statement.
Since almost all stock 2.1 firmware and baseband updates you can find in this forum are zipped FTF files, the OP most likely grabbed something else that's why I asked what RAR file he downloaded.

good to go.. maybe i should have read more clearly..
then again im sure i read it well. ive just been up all night working on multiple phones and havent slept yet.
i either use winrar or winzip. so depending on... then again if the OP is using a mac, its being uncompressed when they download and that will throw alot of people for a loop. anyways. im off to bed now.
Ok guys lets clear up a bit so i extracted the original stock 2.1 rom and when i do bundle creation it shows me the folders i extracted but when i select it it takes me further into the files for example the folder name is blablabla i select it and it shows me the content inside that so i see other files and i keep clicking and clicking anyways thanks to all for replying and people lets all not make this a flame thread thanks

Agreed but I never intended on flaming anybody. Other folks in this forum have tendencies to jump the gun and be on flame on mode ala Human Torch .
Anyway can you post a link to the RAR file you are downloading so I can see exactly what you are working with?
Sure on my way home i was trying to flash stock. 435 rom lol from bin4ry's thread about the flashtool lol

i'm just wondering how i go about flashing this rom, it says unrar the rar file but i don't know how to do that. if anyone could shed light on this that would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Use winrar or alike to extract the zip file in the archive. Lite'ning rom must be flashed through odin. So you don't need to pre-root your phone or anything. Simply flash through odin. Lite'ning rom cannot be flashed by cwm according to the author.

i know i downloaded the file and winrar came up do you know what the file will end in once it's extracted or once i ''unrar'' it? i honestly would love help with this.
can anyone please help me with this?
any help would be appreciated.
According to the screenshots it'll end up as .tar.md5 once you extract the rar.
Probably .tar

I really wonder why you cant just download the file and unrar it. Its a bit too much to ask for someone to do that for you.

Hello,
I just rooted my phone today and flashed TurkbeyRom as my first rom and it is working fine.
I downloaded a couple of other roms from Omega ICS v3.2 thread but these don't show up in recovery to flash?
I have just cam from a rooted desire....maybe i am missing something here?
Appreciate any help.
hi. i could be wrong here but a think u need to extract the downloaded file first to then make it a zip file. download unzip or unrar from android market, then unzip the omega 3.2 to the same directory, then when u go to flash omega you should see it. hope that helps you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
unrar is the best one to use. a think its because its a .rar file you download and it needs to be .zip. this method worked for me. any more questions just ask and ill try help you

This is where i got the steps to root my note with ICS. Worked for me.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
If you're on ICS all you have to do is download the superuser.zip from their site and flash through CWM.

Help yourself and learn how to search and read threads. All of the information you need is laid out very simply if you look for it more than 2 seconds. Seriously, why should people help you do something when it would take them more time to explain it than for you to search and learn it very simply yourself?
Asking for help is for when you run into problems that occur outside of following the simple instructions outlined in the various threads related to rooting and ROMing.

Just a quick question about the method that is described above:
Whose work does it come from? Does anyone know whose CWM fix are we flashing through ODIN?

Download this file: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Use this CWM: http://thinkleet.de/cwm/cwm-touch-i717-120409.tar.md5
That is an Odin tar you flash as pda.

the superuser file download link is busted, my friend.
Thanks for posting those, but my REAL question was whether these are the same ones that are hosted on the rootgalaxynote.com website at this link:

Does anyone know where his files came from? How come there are no citation credits?

Hi
I downloaded a custom rom based on ICS and unzip the file then I add some app.apk to data/app and rezip it.
I tried to run zip in recovery but coudn't.
My question is that, why it didn't work??
Originally is it possible to add app.apk to same folder of a custom rom and then install the rom with my favorite apps??
Thanks for answering me.

You can use 7zip "free download" to modify roms. It allows you to edit the rom without extracting it. Download the program and read the tutorial. Basically when you extract a rom you change the file association and it needs to be resigned. Also when you swap out and or add apps,files,etc you have to edit the update script to reflect the changes. You can google to find out more. This is just my understanding, hope it helps.

If u unzip the file, it will lost it signed properties (something like that) which cause the file not useable. If u need to add or remove apk, just use winrar or 7z and open the file without unzipping it.

Hey
I did it and installed the rom but many of added apps didn't work.
I do not know why???
Perhaps it cause of my recovery because I used. 4EXT recovery.
And I must say that androidsigner n not sign zip files over than 600Mb. I tried several times.
