so the rom doesnt show up in cwm?
make sure the extension is .zip
also check if its inside some folder and not directly in root directory of sdcard
On the computer open up the .tar file and see if the .zip file of the rom is in there the TAR extension is a compressed file which has other files in it

Make sure you see "System" and "META-INF" when you open the zip(these should NOT be in sub folder)
Make sure the zip is correct, and is indeed for your firmware
open the zip with winzip and check there should not be a sub folder
if you find one then try to extract it using any archive tool like winrar

Does flashing APBOOT file of appropriate firmware using Odin work?
I was asking if there's any way to convert a .zip ROM into a .tar ROM to flash with Odin..
The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm unable to flash any ROM via CWM recovery. I can only flash ROMs via Odin. Please see this for further information to my problem.
I'm particularly fond of the MIUI ROM, but there's no Odin version of that.. and CWM doesn't work for me

This is the installation instructions from adys miui rom which i usually use...not sure if you do this already but this usually works for me (wipe cache n devlik aswell)
1. Copy Zip to SDCard.k
2. Reboot to Recovery.
3. Wipe data/factory Reset.
4. Wipe /system from Mounts and Storage.
5. Install *your Rom* zip from SDCard.
6. Reboot (First boot may take time due to alot of init.d scripting)

I don't think direct conversion like that will ever work, just ask the related developer to generate a tar file for you, ask one of the most helpful devs like salesale(NeatRom creator) or the dev of RevoltRom.

Why?
You'd need to write a script that specifies what files get flashed to where & create your own flashable zip. Or you could swap the files from the tar into an existing CWM flashable I guess; not sure if this will work tho, the script may be specific to those particular files & might not work with different ones (I'm not au fait with these scripts, hence not being sure). I personally wouldn't try this tho, just flash the tar in Odin already.
The last sentence says it all

That's easy (well can cause catastrophe if handled without proper knowledge) just use android kitchen.
Edit :Seriously though must be very careful, I used it to deodex JB firmware for my tab 7 plus (it doesn't have any proper developer support so had to do it manually) and I had a plethora of minor bug's popping up, insignificant but annoying nonetheless, quite frankly must be ready to spend hours for proper tweaking and understanding framework to build a good flashable zip, I didn't have the patience nor the time.

To build his custom stock rom ?
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol

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.

you can't blindly do a .tar file of extracted files coz Odin wouldn't recognize it like Meta inf is a script for cwm not Odin the rom is packed in such a way that cwm installs it not Odin

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.

I have tried this already....
but Odin Pops up a window saying: ".md5 binary is invalid"
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,

Is the apk file still in system/app? If not just place it there and wipe the caches. Without flashing a file.
