how can i extract a full rom to use with dsixda kitchen version 0.224? im trying to extract it with 7zip but even though it extracts it i get an error when doing so. all i want to do is get a stock rom to work (extract it and set it up) with the kitchen to do a rom.
so far:
1. downloaded rom from sammobile.com/firmwares/
- it downloads in zip format and after extracting the zip i get a tar.md5 file and a dll file
2. trying to extract full rom to use in kitchen, which is where im stuck...
thanks in advance
rename the file from whatEverTheNameWas.tar.md5 to whatEverTheNameWas.tar and extract

Yeah, sorry I forgot... put it back into a tar and then it should accept it.

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:

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.

N now u cnt extract through an archve manager.

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?

you need a valid update.zip file or use any of the templates that are available all over.
now extract the system files from tar file, extract the boot.img and copy them to the update.zip file(delete the older files in the zip before)
Hello. Is it possible to flash a zip Rom using Odin? I need to flash a zip.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using XDA
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

you need to flash it via recovery...fastboot wont work redownload the file...........
just extract the zip file ,click with right mice button and choos extract,you get a SS_DL.dll document and a tar.MD5 package.
I got this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
that references odin in the subject of the thread. I tried flashing it via cwm, but kept getting a black screen on boot after the s4 screen.
so I wanted to try odin. but it's a zip. Is there a process to convert to tar.gz? Do I just extract, then recompress to a tar.gz?

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,

Ive done a backup on my phone and created a flashable zip (update.zip)
Now im playing around with dsixda's kitchen and trying to extract the system.tar, however it fails most likely due to fact the the system.tar is empty
the files in the archive are as follows
Meta-inf -- <folder>
boot.img -- <8192KB>
image-edify -- <1KB>
system.ext4.tar -- <0KB>
system.ext4.tar.a -- <976,563KB>
system.ext4.tar.b -- <68,151KB>
By the looks of things it has split the system.ext4.tar because its over a gig
How can i compile this into one file or one image so that the kitchen can read it, I'm on a windows 7 PC but i can run linux in a vbox if necessary.
Thanks
Try using the zip file in your input folder.
dsixda's kitchen should be able to extract from it

Already tried, it comes back saying its deleting the part a and part b files and then says the system.ext4.tar isnt a valid archive.
Is it a stock rom?
If so, download the firmware from sammobile and put the tar.md5 file into your input folder (after removing the .md5 suffix).
Thats worked for me in the past....
It is stock, but i have removed the bloatware, installed a few mods, i was hoping to use this particular one really as a base. Ive already played around with fully stock and i kind of broke the whole thing
I'm not too sure then unless theres some tool you can find to merge the 3 tar files into 1...
Never had to do it so I'm unable to suggest anything I'm afraid.
Hello xda members
I downloaded a stock rom for android 2.3.3 for my device(Galaxy ACE) and flashed it using odin.
Trying to open wifi but it gives me an error and do not want to start.
I found that the extracting of system.rfs (to delete some APK file) and compressing it again in the rom causes this problem, So i flashed the stock rom without extracting system.rfs
and the wifi starts normally.
I need to delete and add some APK file to the rom. ANY HELP,please.

Extract the zip package, add your apk into system / app, compress zip, get a signature rom package. That's all.
