[Q]: How to convert .img to .tar (recovery image) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello,
So I wanted to manually install recovery clockwork touch recovery 5.8.1.3 for the skyrocket, so I went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and downloaded it the only problem is that is a .img file and not a .tar file that I could flash it via odin...
I would like to know the steps to make a .tar file that will flash via odin successfully.
If someone knowledgeable can help me that would be greatly appreciated it.
Thanks again!

Name it recovery.img and tar it up on a Linux box, windows built tars don't seem too work well, then flashed away.

Forgive my ignorance but when you refer to a linux box, what do you exactly mean by that?
I run windows 7...

Actually, stay away from the ROM Manager version, flash this one instead, it's already in a tar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22004305&postcount=1
Look for the 'ODIN install' version.

He means do it on a machine running linux, not windoze.
Ubuntu is easy to install on your windows box with the wubi installer and pretty easy for linux noobs.

Did you not see that cschmitt gave you a link to a tar? It's for v5.5.0.4. There's also already a thread here for v5.8.1.3 in an Odin flashable tar. Didn't you search? Unless this is more of a practice exercise for you, which is totally understandable.

The question is not where to find it or how to flash it...(I know that) Te question is (how to) convert the file downloaded from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and make/convert it to a .tar file that odin can find and flash... This question is for future reference and for everyone out there that is interested in learning (how-to) like me.
The thing is that when I download the touch recovery image from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is not being detected by odin my guess is because is a .img file so the question I have beem asking since day one is does anyone out there know how to convert it so it can work via odin... either on linux or windoze... and I mean the how-to instructions step by step.
Well thank you so much.

ODIN flashable files must be in the tar format. Information on the tar command can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format)
Each file in the tar must have a specific file name which is resolved against the pit file stored in the phone to determine which partition it will be flashed to.
A reference of the partition to ODIN file mappings for the 727 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25536393&postcount=1
In general, the tar file needs to be created on a machine running a version of Linux operating system. Ubuntu is a good place to start as there is an installer called Wubi that will allow you to install it into a file-based partition of an existing windows system. Information on installing Ubuntu via Wubi can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide/
So, assuming that you have installed Ubuntu linux and you have your recovery.img in the home directory of that installation, the command to package recovery into an ODIN flashable tar would be:
Code:
tar -cf recovery-image.tar recovery.img
Take the recovery-image.tar file and flash it in ODIN (place it in the PDA section.)
----------
Now, a word of advice: Nobody is going to hold your hand around here, we are all big boys and girls and those who are most successful have put in the time to figure things out for themselves. If, after exhausting every possible Google search known to man (Google is your friend) , you still can't figure something out-- then ask your question, and not something like 'how do I create a .tar ?'
Explain what you have tried so far, what worked, and what didn't and ask very specific questions-- you will find that the dev's and long time contributors will sense that you're giving it your best shot and jump right in to help get you rolling again.
If you've done much reading on these forums over time you'll begin to notice that the same 10 or 12 questions get asked over, and over, and over and that gets really old, especially when most, if not all of these questions, have been answered numerous times and compiled into stickies that mysteriously hang at the top of every forum.

Thanks also for this exceptional peace of information, I also spent like 2h to figure out why all the downloads on the cwm website are .img files even in the SGS3 box, when you basically cannot use them except if you learn how to use Linux and archive them to .tar Now I have to install a linux distro and give it a try,

[Q] How To Create ODIN ROMs.

I would like to learn how to create my own ODIN files for the SGS4G. I have a few of these phones and think it would be easier to put my own custom ROM on them, rather than to delete things one by one for each phone.
I asked the same question some time back... Takes a lot of reading.... but this is a good start

Good Luck
Thanks...I'll try to read that when I get a minute.
Nobody ever replied for me when I was asking about CWM and Odin formats. It took me a while to find info, but I'll write a guide soon. This is part of what I used.
http://androidforums.com/behold-2-all-things-root/54424-creating-custom-roms-backups-odin.html
I found that it's best to create an Odin rom under Linux since you can add the md5 signature at the end of the file, and create a proper tar format.
Read the whole post, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Again, I only recommend doing this on Linux. If you're on windows you can download both Virtualbox and Ubuntu for free.

[Q] Infuse back to stock using a mac 10.5.8

How can I get my infuse back to stock using a mac? I have tried heimdall front end and the Heimdall One-Click with no success. If there are step by step instructions on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and can't find much info for doing it on a mac. I have the infuse4g-backtostock-one-click.jar but when I click to open it just closes. I have restarted pc, reset permissions, updated java, put phone in download mode. Am I doing something wrong?
Open it in commands line. Open a terminal window and CD intro the directory. Type Java -jar backtostock.jar or whatever thename of that file happens to be. Clearly you didn't read the thread good enough, but at leeway you found the thread.
You may also need to set up codeless kext or something but I don't have a Mac so I don't know how to do that.
What happens when you try to run heimdall frontend?? And you can run heimdall in command line as well. Linux bozo went over that in the kj2 thread. The only difference is you won't need boot.bin or sbl.bin but may have to add param.ifs too the list. If test it to give explicit instructions but my power is out. I'm posting form my phone.
The java I get unable to access and when i put phone in download mode and open the oneclick stock boot infuse.jar file it just flashes on dock then quits. Heimdall front end gives tar header contained invalid file size. I am wondering if I can use the stock rom for i900 with heimdall such as XWJSD 2.2.1 with heimdall seeing I cannot find one specific to infuse?

Obviously you are using heimdall wrong. Did you try laughing one click from command line? That's how you nerd to open it, its covered in the thread.
Heimdall needs heimdall specific packages if you use a .tar. Don't do that plus i9000 roms don't work. Get the Odin package gtg made and extract the.tar I would make a heimdall package if I though anyone was gonna use it, but people don't like change even for the better, it drives me nuts.
heimdall 1.3 has 3 tabs, one is labeled "flash" open that tab. Get infuse.pit this is the only pit file that works. Then there is an add button, it will give you a selection of partitions to add. when you add a partition you need to add a file to that partition, the files vs partitions are as follows
zimage-kernel
factoryfs.rfs-factoryfs
Param.ifs-param
dbdata.rfs-database
Csc.rfs-cache
Modem.bin-modem
I'm going off memory and there may be a couple mistakes, but once you see how it works its not hard to see where stuff goes.
If you don't feel comfortable with that then get heimdall 1.1. Just extract the Odin .tar file and add files in the GUI., it really explains itself. I dislike the new GUI, the old one was easy. The command line us easy too but i'm not sure I remember the commands exactly right.
Do I need the odin exe to do this or can I just use the file? I cannot run exe files.

No just the .tar. Extract it and flash the files inside using heimdall.
If you can't figure it out you can get boot camp and run window.
I'm obviously not doing something right every time I extract the file in Heimdall 1.1 I get errors. Would AT&T put the stock rom back on if I took it in to them?
Update: I borrowed a windows pc and got it up in running back to original in about 30 minutes. Thanks for ll your help.

glad you got it but no att wouldn't do that. ROM flashing voids any type of warranty or insurance, sometime people get away with sending phones to Samsung if they get bricked, if you do that sort of thing make sure the phone doesn't even turn on or boot past the Samsung screen. The repair people probably don't have much time for diagnosis and would simply flash to stock and send it out the door.

Need Help using ODIN & Tar file

Need help. I am trying to restore my Skyrocket to factory. I down loaded the necessary files
-ODIN
-SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane
The thing is that when I open Odin, click PDA and browse, I don't see the tar file(SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane)? Do I have to convert the file to tar?
The SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane is in the download file and I see it but when I use Odin to browse, I don't see the file?
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing a step?
I am using Window's Vista. Does it make any difference?
I have read instructions many many times and I can't figure it out.
anyone out there?
Sorry bro. I would help you but seeing as I have yet to have my SkyRocket in Hand and have not gone through the rooting and ROM process on THIS device. I am not comfortable giving advice. Best to wait for someone who has more experience with the SkyRocket than I.

the .tar file is INSIDE the file you downloaded. the file you downloaded is a .7z or 7zip file. 7zip is a free archive/extractor. unzip it with 7zip and you will find your tar file.
i find it always helps to have your WINDOWS configured to show file extensions to keep confusion like this to a minimum, since you would have actually seen the file extension type.
careful! this method trips the ROM counter. why are you returning to stock?
I figuered it out. I bricked my phone trying to update to 2.36.

[Q] Some questions regarding the Recovery step on the Tutorial

hey there, have some questions regarding Step 2 Recovery from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
for some reason, it won't let me post as i have less than 10 posts.
so, going straight to the questions:
1) i downloaded SDK, now, do i have to install it? i actually installed it without knowing if i should or shouldn't and have no idea what to do with it.
2) was i supposed to extract the the Official CWM of koush? downloaded this one rather than Paul's interim but i didn't know what to do with it, so i just extracted into C:\fastboot
3) when he says "Place the CWM File where the fastboot.exe is (Downloaded with the SDK)" does he mean place the extracted bits with the installed SDK program into C:\fastboot? or does he mean leave the installer as is with the zip file as is in c:\fastboot? or a different combination altogether?
4) what is the name of the recovery in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img"? i looked around and they said do recovery recovery, but that didn't work for me (couldn't find file error).
5) i have s4, is it wiser to go with the interim or official?
please feel free to ask if any of these questions are a bit confusing; tried my best to ask what i'm confused about. thanks for reading, and i'll greatly appreciate any help!

[Repack] Aorth's ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.7 (Odin Format) (All Devices)

Hey guys. Aorth has released a new CWM build, and so it looks like its time for more repack action...
The original thread / post where the Heimdall versions are posted is HERE.
What Is This?
This is the new 6.0.2.7 version of CWM as built by Aorth. This release differs from Aorth's only in the way it is "packed". Aorth releases raw IMG files which are suitable for use with Heimdall. These files have been repacked to work with Odin. Aorth (justifiably) is against the use of Odin because its a closed-source utility that was never meant for public use. However, some people (like me) have issues making it work correctly and prefer to use Odin to flash. This release lets you do that.
News
I haven't found a lotta info about what's new in this release, aside from "the latest support for Android 4.1+"
I know that some of the storage and mountpoint stuff has been changing around a bit, so if you're gonna be using CM10+ ROMs, you'll want this recovery.
I changed my packaging slightly from last time. I am now packing the files inside of ZIP files. This allows me to name each released file properly without breaking the MD5 checksum, which should allow you to flash without issues. On my previous release(s) I renamed the file to be flashed, which causes an "invalid MD5" error.
How To Use?
I don't plan on doing a lot of handholding n00b-helpery in this thread. If you're flashing a custom recovery you should generally know WTF you're doing.
-Unzip the recovery for your device. You should get a recovery.tar.md5 file. DO NOT rename this.
-Put your tab into download or Odin mode.
-Hook it up to your computer via USB
-Launch Odin3 Version 1.85 (linked in this thread in case you lost yours )
-If Odin can 'see' your tab you should have a yellow box that says something like 0:[COM16]. If you don't have this, check USB and/or make sure you're really in download mode.
-Click the "PDA" button and then select the recovery.tar.md5 file.
-Click Start.
-Profit.
Standard XDA Disclaimer
I only own a T869 and I didn't build the original CWM or do any development. I have fully documented my involvement and "what I did", and just like with Aorth's direct releases, there's no warranty that comes with this software. If you brick your stuff its not my fault, nor is you losing your mind, job, love life, or faith in our Android savior as a result of using any of these files.

As with my previous threads, I used an Ubuntu Server 12.10 system to do the "repack". For the interested, you can "convert" a Heimdall img into an Odin md5.tar package with the following terminal commands:

Not really, provided you know how to re-stock via Odin.
All this does is over-write the recovery partition on your device, so worst case is you mess up your recovery and can't get into it anymore until you fix it via re-stock. Obviously you'd only want to do this kind of thing withOUT a relatively full battery charge.

Why do you want to do this on a battery without a full charge?

Ironically, I wrote it the other way around first but then thought it was wrong so I edited it. Sometimes coffee fails me

Some other people in this thread seem to have successfully used the p6200 version without issue, which would imply that your download is corrupt. You could re-download, or you could give the Heimdall version a try.
sorry for the ignorance
this cwm works for stock ICS ROM (P6200L)??
thank you!

The "ROM" or OS portion of your tablet is seperate from your "recovery" partition, which is where CWM lives. You can (and probably should) be using this instead of the "stock" recovery, since the stock recovery has been known to cause bricked devices during formatting.
