No fastboot and flash with Odin via your PC or mobile Odin (if you're already rooted)

I can flash it using Odin if it's a .tar file
I downloaded the latest recovery as .img file
Odin would not read it as I know
I used ''SGS3 International ToolKit v5.0'' to create flashable .tar file from the .img file.. but I got an error while flashing through Odin

thanks anyway
Does it really work with 7 zip ?

I tried using 7zip to create a tar out of my img file and tried to flash it via Odin, but Odin crashed every time I tried doing so. What where your steps? I'm trying to create a tar file from a cwm recovery.img
Cheers

Just flash the.img with mobile Odin
Got it somewhat randomly
I tried it again with several tar files (7zip, SGS III Toolbox, Mskip's provided tar file) but this time odin did not crash, it just did not do anything. Tried Odin3 1.85 then Odin3 3.07 but it wouldn't work, then i found this other Odin called "Odin3 0.07 for SGS III" and tried again with the file created with Toolbox and it worked! I then noticed the only difference in Settings with this other Odin was, that F. time-reset was ticked. Could that be the reason it worked ?
Cheers
So there's still no way of installing a recovery with fastboot.. ? Just making sure.
And from where do I get Odin?
edit: Well I guess I have my answer:
[...]>>Even for flashing the custom recovery like Clockworkmod recovery or TWRP recovery you will need this tool. androidlegend.com/odin-multi-downloader
can anyone c/d?
Just Download Rashr from the PS and flash CWM recovery.img with it and enjoy

Buddy i already told that 7zip just puts in tar format but do not convert the files in the tar components(Mdem,etc)
You might explain what you are trying to achieve by putting a zip into a tar .
Are you trying to make a CWM zip file flash-able via Odin .
jje
Can it be done ?
Lol, that sounds cool. Anyway, I think I'll keep flashing tars with odin and zips with CWM because what you sugest scares the **** out of me. Anyway I'll keep reading this thread out of curiosity.
so your trying to make an update.zip file into an odin.tar file to flash in pda?
I think he ment if you download (for example) new clockwork recovery version in zip format (ment for flashing thru phone recovery) can it be transformed into .tar (ment for flashing thru odin) !
I would also like to know this.

Tar To Zip
I dont know why you are trying to flash a zip via odin by converting it CWM works just fine if u have the latest kernel. I did find some old cwm kernels were not seeing zip files on my sd card make sure you have the latest. From here K13 or k14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 bottom of the page worked for me.
im curious about this, ever since i rooted and flashed my kernel, i cant properly install ANY CWM roms. on aborts drring verification. I was consierding repacking the ZIP and flashing with ODIN.... just annoying i cant flash any of my roms
Thats usual if CWM is 3e not 4e .
jje
I would also like to know if its possible to repack cwm .zip file into ODIN .tar?? Why? I dont want to have root. I tried with yaffey-v0.2 but for now, no luck.
Only problem is to make a working system.img. Tar package can be done with commands in cygwin or in Samsung tool kit...
Help anybody??

You are in the S2 Forum here. Which version of odin and which FW are you trying to flash? Whats the error message you get?
Yes it can be done and it's pretty easy to do. Google is you're friend. I've converted devil recovery and also modems and all work fine with odin.
hi guys i am in a very bad situation my friend asked me to put hebrew on his galaxy s 2 , so as a good friend i tried to help him idownloaded the orange zip file and use odin to flash it and now it got stuck on the boot screen i can go into download mode but i dont know how to bring it back to life
please help
thanks
Zip files are not meant for ODIN.
ODIN normally flashes tar files which has only the necessary files and no scripts inside.
Clockworkmod is used to flash zip files.
I think you used PDA button on ODIN to flash *.zip file.
Find a kernel with cwm , codeworkx's kernel or siyah kernel.
Flash using PDA of odin.
If it doesn't work, flash an entire stock rom using odin, download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then flash a kernel with cwm, and flash hebrew zip in recovery
thanks for the reply I have one more question do I need a USB jig and also what custom binary count for mine says 2
is that a problem
If you can get into download mode, you don't need a jig. The binary count shows the number of times you flashed from download mode. It's not a problem, but it's a proof that you did, and it probably means your phone lost its warranty.
You dont need a jig if you can get into download mode but it will reset the binary counter for warranty purposes

Well, some people put the .tar's inside a zip to compress it, so it might be a Odin file after all.
Open the zip file, and if there is just ONE file there, extract it and flash it with Odin. If there are alot of files/folders, it's for CWM
Hi. I unrooted my note but need to reflash a stock recovery and can not find help. I have read thru all the threads without finding detail info how to do it. can someone help?. can I use Heimdall to flash the recovery like we do on the Tab???.

The problem is that my phone won't boot into Recovery like if it has no recovery installed.
Are you trying to get the phone back to a stock rom? Do you have access to a computer running KEIS?
What method are you using to get into recovery?

Yes, I have done it through Kies and when I try to go to recovery the phone go into a loop.
Sounds like you used kies to upgrade to official ics? Why would you need to get into stock recovery? What button combo are you using?

By pressing the 2 volume buttons and power at the same time
K. Sounds like you're gonna have to flash a recovery through Odin. If you're worried about the flash counter then I would flash cwm through Odin, flash counter reset and stock recovery in cwm. If you're not concerned about the counter, then just leave that part out.
Thanks for the help. I'll do it as soon I get home.

Odin wil not find my cwm recovery to flash on my computer!!!. what do I do now???????
When you hit the PDA box it doesn't bring up the tar file? It can't be a zip. Make sure you have the correct cwm file on your PC. Make sure you download the Odin file. I prefer the touch version myself.

no, no tar file. I have downloaded from several threads and unziped and they show in my computer but Odin do nothing to find them.
STUPID IDIOT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,:silly::silly::silly:. I downloaded the wrong one,,,,,........ will try again...
The PDA slot in Odin will only see specific types of files. In this case, it needs to be a tar file. Go to the link above and download the Odin file for cwm touch.

Yea!!! I got it. will flash now and see what happen......Thanks.
Lol. Np dude. I didn't see your above post til I posted mine.
got my flash counter to 0 but wont flash stock recovery, it will abort!!! now what????
ok, another mistake from yours trully!!!!. I tried to flash with recovery a Odin file...... now I have to search for a cwm flashable one....
DONE!!!!
:Finally done, after flashing with odin stock rom complete I copyed the original stock recovery to sd card and reflashed cwm. then reseted counter and reflashed the copy of stock recovery and back in business. after verifying that all was stock then used a procedure for update the firmware thru Kies and VIOLA!!!!!,,, COMPLTE STOCK PHONE!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL THAT PUT OFF WITH ME!!!!
I have never flashed either. I have only had an HTC phone and radios/bootloaders I could flash through an update zip. The only files flashed through Odin so far were recovery and the stock tar file using the PDA option. Odin has a bootloader option.... in which section do I flash the modem?
Hi, currently i'm using samsung galaxy s2 with andriod 4.0.3.. i found it lag sometimes so i decided to root it. i have downloaded the CF root file, but when i extracted it, i found only zImage in it. i have followed all the steps from the video and when i was clicking the 'PDA' after i have opened the odin, i selected the file 'CF root file' which is zipped, then i started to root.. the process was successful, but my device couldn't turn on. it is stuck at the text and not showing the yellow triangle. What should i do? :crying:
No no no, the correct file extension for ODIN is .tar or tar.md5. Not .zip
Have you tried accessing either download mode or recovery mode?
Did you even read about Odin before the flash?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think zimage is only for use with mobile odin.
-------------------------------------------
maybe your an iphone expert
------------------------------------------
Re-flash time it is.
After that, root with ExynosAbuse.
Sent from the little guy
If it was a ZImage file only,and it was Zip,then it was for CWM Recovery.
the 'ZImage' file extracted from the Cf-root zip file can be flashed from PC odin/Mobile odin by putting it on the 'PDA' section

reflash ur ROM.. or download the latest 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via ODIN
root it with my method..
safest way.. and appllicable in ICS and JB versions
you can also flash the custom kernels like siyah. philz. dorimanx. or apolo (it has a custom recovery)
