Hi,
I need help from kind heart people in this forum if they can help to re-packaged the XXKG5 files from xda-developer into ODIN flashable files like example
CODE_I9100XXKG5_xxxxxx.tar.m d5
MODEM_I9100XXKG5_xxxxxx.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5
I have downloaded the XXKG5 files from xda-developer BUT the package contains files like boot, cache, factoryfs, hidden, modem, param.lfs, sbl and zImage of which I cannot flash with ODIN.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to have XXKG5 on my SGS2.
Thanks.
i guess you extract the .tar file don't you? just double click 7e file that you originally download and use the extracted file as it is. do not need to extract once again.

I didn't. Yes I extracted the first compressed file dowloaded. Then all I get are the files like in Image 1. Since Odin cannot flash the compressed file in Image 1....IF I extracted the compressed file in Image 1 then all I get are the files like in Image 2...
As you can see, either way I can't flash with Odin.
If you downloaded from xda it shouldntt look like that.You only need to double click on the file and it extracts.if you didn't download from here then here it is

Read the first notice part about extracting the file to make sure you understand clearly.
Hey I'm new herre and im trying to put clockwork mod on my phone, ive already rooted with superone click. Im using odin v3.95 and i think i need a ops file because when i try to click start with cwm loaded in pda i just get a check image file error.
Im a total noob. Please Help! Thanks
What is the filename of the file you're trying to flash?
cwm-recovery-ALL.tar
I at least figured out it had to be a .tar file.
Download 7zip and open that .tar file within 7zip...is there another .tar or .md5 file inside? There was a CWM .tar released that you had to extract the flashable file from inside of it.
Whoever packaged it made it really confusing. Check and see if that's what you got. Or link me to the file you downloaded and I'll check it out for you.
I haven't had the need to return to stock yet but have a question. I have rooted and done CWM already. I downloaded the stock tar file and when I open up Odin and try to select it, Odin doesn't see the file. I've redownloaded Odin and the tar file but still no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this same problem? I just want to get this figured out so if I need to revert back to stock there won't be a problem. Thanks in advance.

Did you extract the .tar from the .7z file you downloaded?

Oops... I had the same problem and extracting the file solved it.

First, Have you checked the md5 sum was ok?
If yes, then right-click the zip file, you'll see 7zip, go on, and you'll see all options for 7zip:
- open
- extract file
- extract here
- extract to "name of file zip"
use Extract "here" or "name of file zip"
So today i wanted to update my s6 to nougat and since it isnt available for my csc (SEB) i downloaded a diffrent stock firmware Russia (SER) then i tried flashing the tar.md5 to my s6 and odin said failed at hidden.img. i also tried other fixes on google like deleting it and then making a new tar without hidden img and it said MD5 HASh value is invalid. Also Smart Switch doesnt recognize my phone! Help pls i am worried
You should extract hidden.img and rename it to hidden.img.tar, then flash that file only via odin.
Thanks

If you get stuck in bootloop after reboot then go into recovery mode and wipe cache and data factory reset [emoji6]

I have the same problem the OP had. I tried your fix, but the newly extracted and renamed hiddenimage file isn't showing up in Odin. Only the original tarMD5 file is showing up?
PS: I used 7zip to extract the hiddenimage file.

On Windows folder options select show extensions (it should look like hidden.img), then rename the file to hidden.img.tar

I can see the extracted hiddenimage file when I go to the folder. The problem is, when I open odin and try to flash it, it isn't showing up as an option to flash?

This is because you're changing the name of the file but not the extension, try what I posted above.
After extracting and renaming the hiddenimage file to hidden.img.tar, in the part of the folder where it says 'type', it says the file is a disk image file. Is it supposed to be a disk image file?
