How to extract full ROM from Tab 2 & can we flash it via odin??
As i know the tar file is extractable via winrar 7zip etc you download firmware from www.samfirmware.com and you will find a big tar file that could be extracted
Take care if you flash it not to screw things up as modifying file could cause brick of tab if modification done incorrectly

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.
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.

Hi
I wanted to downgrade my galaxy s2 it's currently on XWK14. I want to downgrade to the older XWKE1, only using official firmware.
I got the XWKE1 firmware off sam mobile and extracted the file but ended up with another Rar Archive once I extracted the original one which contained some crap I can't use and no Tar file, I used WinRar extracter.
So I then used frog extracter which did the exact same thing as WinRar so I then used 7win and selected Tar file all it did was label the archive into a Tar Archive and when extracted give the same files as WinRar and Frog which i've listed here:
boot.bin
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
param.lfs
sbl.bin
zImage
Am using odin 1.85 (can be used to flash S2 I checked) to flash the phone but without a Tar file I can't do anything if anyone can help i'll really appreciatwe it .
That couldnt be! Try to download it again or youse another firmware package from another website or another firmware!
Normally when you extract the file there must be a .md5 file.
You should have a file that ends .tar.md5 this is the file that you flash as the pda using odin. Thats it
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

Is there any thread where I can find the latest 4 file Firmware for the G920F?
Or can somebody tell me how to extract all 4 files from a 1-file Firmware?
remove the .tar from the file name by re-naming. then open with WinRAR or some program to that effect
Just download samfirm to your pc and have fun
