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.

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.
cheers

a .tar.md5 is just a .zip renamed?

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
Could I use fastboot? I am not having a nice day, my phone is not reading the zip file because it thinks it is corrupted.

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,

What tool did you use? I never heard of .hrf files in allwinner's images. You should get .fex files using ImageRepacker

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

Yeah, sorry I forgot... put it back into a tar and then it should accept it.
I have uploaded the OTApkg from my Verizon 10 downloaded 7/6/17. I have not been able to run it on my 10 because of customization issues.
I have also changed the suffix of the filename to "zip" so it could be uploaded. You may want to rename it before manipulating it. The default name is "OTApkg"
You can download it here and I welcome someone else's better ability to parse the file contents.
MD5 is: e684728237328c1a59c8c53ab2308467
I've now extracted the firmware.zip and created two update.zips, one without boot (but stock recovery) and one without both boot and recovery images. Someone reported to me that flashing the boot.img could be problematic -- I do not know the particulars, just reporting what I heard. I have not flashed these files, so you're on your own. If there are reports of problems, I'll pull the files.

(Last OTA I actually ended up flashing with htc_fastboot partition-by-partition in download mode.)

I renamed mine also and was able to extract the contents. I have rezipped the files (Files only, not flashable) here is anyone wants them. Strange, 2gb ota but contents are 103mb. I did not install tho, just ran the update to pull the updated system img.

NVM. Reread your post. Do you think the firmware would be flashable if renamed 2PS6IMG.zip?

Thanks, , my file may have been corrupted. Going to upload a file I could open on my workstation instead and re-link.
Original upload was corrupted; I've uploaded corrected file and added md5.
Added two firmware only update files, one without boot and one without boot or recovery.

Can I now flash Maximum or Lee-Droid Oreo roms without having to do anything other than installing twrp first? That is correct isn't it?

I would go by the OP's in each of those ROM threads, but presumably you are now on Oreo firmware, so I don't see why not.
