Hi,
So, I have seen lots of people talking about flashing individual files from different firmwares to solve some problems.
Here's my question:
How do you flash the individual files of a .tar file? E.g. modem.bin into PDA/phone/csc? ?
What's a Unix compatible tar?
Thanks in advance

You can manipulate a tar archive with total commander or izarc to create valid archives. Today i flashed only the kernel from jpb to my jpa firmware. But also i had to do this as one package cause odin put up an error when trying to flash it as pda.

Odin checks the filename, when i get home i will check a multi file package template using a multi package for i7500 that uses the same Odin version.
Can anybody who have p-5100 compress this file to tar and send it compressed for us to use cwm 6.0.1.2 for p-5100 as i wanted to compress it but afraid that parameters used in compression to tar or app used for compressions to tar would make the file unflashable or brick our p-5100 tab2 10 inch tablets the file has extension img and i asked codworxx about flashing it in odin and he says that the file should be compressed to tar before flashing with odin or we could flash it directly via heimedall so as some of us especially windows users are comfortable with using odin not heimedall so i think a file like this compressed to tar with correct parameters and program will help us alot to update cwm from 6.0.1.0 non touch to 6.0.1.2 touch

Don't waste your time,install Mobile Odin ,and rename recovery to recovery.img (exactly,not recovery6.0.1.2 or another way) and flash it thru Mobile Odin recovery option.I did it many times on my tab2 ,without problems,but there is it a catch,first you need root to be able to use Mobile Odin.
Cheers
As i know mobile odin is a paid app and in my country Egypt i can not buy apps of market yet

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.

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:
Code:
mv t869_clockworkmod_6.0.1.2.img recovery.img
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

Its work.. using mobile odin
Would there be any chances that i would brick my tab if i do this? Im using stock ICS.. rooted.. 5+ CWM.. (i dont really remember)
Thank you very much!

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.

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.
can i flash the cwm by mobile Odin?
and does mobile Odin need root to do that?

Hi
I have bought a new Samsung Note 10.1 GT-N8000 from China market. I want to install other ROM so that I remove all Chinese stuff from it.
I have downloaded an original ROM image from genuine link of almost 1 GB. Now when I am trying to install through clockwork-mod it says Cant open the package .
The issue I think is because of two files in zip
1) KIES_HOME_N8000DDBLL2_N8000ODDBLL2_541027_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
2)SS_DL.dll
Is this zip is OK to browse or should I unzip it on my pc first and extract some of the folder structure and then browse in galaxy.
I have seen that if I unzip the first md5 file . it has .img files.
I have searched forum for this clarification but didn't find it anywhere
Please help.
Tar and tar.md5 files are flashed with ODIN, not CWM.

Guys, I've seen some people wanting to access BIN roms and/or FLS basebands included in KDZ official roms, and not knowing how to do it.
I've searched the forum, found out how to do it, and decided to make a tutorial for our phone.
Here it goes:
0. Have a "KDZ official rom" file to extract
1. Download attached LGExtract.7z and put the included LGExtract.exe file in the same folder as your kdz
2. Open a Command Prompt
3. Change directory to the folder where you have put the previous files (LGExtract.exe and KDZ file)
4. Run this: LGExtract -kdz V***_00.kdz (use your kdz's name, for example LGExtract -kdz V30A.kdz)
5. Manually extract the CAB file in the same dir (use 7-zip or WinRAR)
6. Run this: LGExtract -wdb V***.wdb LGP920.dll (for example LGExtract -wdb V30A.wdb LGP920.dll)
7. Now you have some files, a few numbered BINs and one FLS)
8. Change directory to BIN folder to manually merge the bin files
9. Run this: copy /b "LGP920_AP[*].bin" "LGP920_AP.bin"
Should output something like this: (THE NUMBER ORDER MUST BE ASCENDING)
LGP920_AP[0].bin
LGP920_AP[1].bin
LGP920_AP[2].bin
LGP920_AP[3].bin
LGP920_AP[4].bin
LGP920_AP[5].bin
1 file(s) copied
10. Now you have your BIN (rom) and your FLS (baseband) files
I like living on the edge and flashing .kdz. hahha
But this is very helpful!:thumbup:
Awesome tut dude.:thumbup:

Good man thanks for putting this up. I have been flashing via this method since Gingerbread because I couldn't flash KDZs due to a broke CPU. I'm sure this will come in handy for others:thumbup:

This is the best way to make things complicated! )) Just use LGP970 Rom Converter!! Put KDZ in same folder as application and run it! On first question press number in order wich is KDZ file, and after extracting on question about CWM recovery or something like that, just hit N on keyboard and you are done.

Yes, it is easy, but when you do this, IMEI is null so you need to fix it.
What is the easiest way to flash kdz files into p920?
Actually, it won't bomb your IMEI - I flashed the modem firmware several times already - it's the fault of CM10's modem RIL, so updating to V21D/E or V28 is usually recommended. No matter how hard you do, you cannot brick the modem unless you flashed obviously wrong modem firmware but if it was from any of O3D ROMs, you won't even lose IMEI. I flashed V21D modem firmware extracted with LG P970 ROM extractor and I didn't even need to touch the modem terminal.

Whell, i used P970 KDZ Extractor for Official V30A p920 rom and I had a IMEI problem. I did this from v21e and v28 and both have IMEI problems after that.
I think KDZ is the safest way.

This is definitely not the reason u had IMEI problem! I never had that problem and i used it xx times on two different phones. U probably downloaded faulty rom or have windows problem and it didn`t unpack properly. I flashed V28e and V30a with SmartFlash after unpacking KDZ and my phone works normally.
See? The only way to grenade your IMEI is by flashing wrong modem firmware or corrupted one. Thus, repeating what I said, no matter how hard you do, you won't lose your IMEI.

Guys, there have been multiple reported cases of lost imeis when flashing basebands (fls), it has happened to me twice.
Flashing kdzs doesn't create that problem, at least I've never read such a case.

I think some CPUs work better with one or the other. I have to ise this janky Netbook that has something like Windows 7 but its like Windows ultimate or somethn like that. I have tried so many times to flash KDZs properly and it just doesn't work for me and the one time I did get the tools to work I completely broke my network and had to format my CPU. Flashtool however works flawlessly for me and I have never had problems; then again I have everything installed correctly too which makes a huge difference. I had an imei issue once back in the ported SU760 days but I'm pretty sure a factory reset and a fresh base and flash fixed that. Its just what works for you.
