Need help creating Odin flashable Tar

I am trying to learn how to make an odin flashable Stock Rom Tar file for the SCH-i815 for backup purposes.
After running this command through terminal emulator:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name​
Terminal emulator spits these out:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 CACHE -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 DATAFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 EFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 FACTORYFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 HIDDEN -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 KERNEL -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 LTE -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 PARAM -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 RECOVERY -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 SBL1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-09-08 13:24 SBL2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3​
Those are the partitions for my device. After reading around, it seems I can dump them to my sdcard using this command through terminal emulator on my device:
dd if=/dev/block/"mmc_partition_here" of=/SdCard/backup/"mmc_partition_name_here" bs=4096​
Is this correct? and If so, is it recommended that I dump and repackage all partitions in a tar file? or would Recovery, Kernel, Factoryfs, and LTE be enough? Every google result i read seems to imply Kernel, Recovery and Factoryfs are all that is needed, with modem being optional.
I would be dumping this from 100% stock rom with SU.
Once all is dumped, I woul be packaging the files in a tar file using this command:
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img system.img modem.bin zImage> package_name.tar
md5sum -t package_name.tar >> package_name.tar
mv package_name.tar package_name.tar.md5​
Can anyone with experience chime in? I wanna make sure this is correct before i attempt this, I don't want to bork my tab.

Hey!
Never used odin, only heimdall in rare cases, to restore my backups I use terminal emu..
you are correct.
ex. to backup stock rfs system_fs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096
to restore
dd if=/sdcard/system.rfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
You can flash recovery ,kernel ,data ,modem while system is even running with terminal emulator,
maybe also system while system is running, but I have not tested this..

I have pulled System, Kernel and Recovery successfully.
I am able to successfully create and flash Kernel and Recovery tar files separately, but when I try to make a single tar with System, Kernel and Recovery Odin fails and spits this out:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> i185Stock.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/013> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/013>
<ID:0/013> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)​
I used the following command line entries to create the single tar and md5:
tar -H ustar -c factoryfs.img recovery.img zImage > i185Stock.tar
md5sum -t i185Stock.tar >> i185Stock.tar
mv i185Stock.tar i185Stock.tar.md5​
Any ideas? Would changing the order of the dumps when creating a tar file make a difference?
EDIT: Changing the order when creating the tar file soft bricks it as it fails when it gets to factoryfs Kernel and Recovery I have no problem creating a tar and flashing, but system will fail in Odin during flash. I don't know why system won't flash.

Seems a dumped factoryfs won't flash without some more work done on a linux box: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20654525&postcount=15

That wont flash in odin you still need to make it 512M so quick run down in linux
Download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53644280/ext4_utils.zip
So you can view contents of .img
Code:
mkdir tempdir; mount -o loop factoryfs.img tempdir
To repack img w/ 512M
Code:
./mkuserimg.sh -s /some/directory/ ./factoryfs_custom.img ext4 ./temp 512M
Then making a TAR ball.

I need someone with a linux box to repack the factoryfs to 852

Thank you for this!!! I, too, am interested in creating an ODIN tar file for my SCH-I815 tablet. I saw this one here for the Verizon Galaxy S III, and perhaps it'll give a clue on how to do it on our tablet.

I used this, among others, as a guide ;p I have been researching this for a while.
I am able to dump System, Kernel and Recovery. I can even make Odin flashable tar files of Kernel and Recovery. I can't get System/Factoryfs to flash successfully tho, It always fails. I've never used linux before, but I'm thinking i might as well give it a go since I've been unsuccessful thus far.

I'll ask the author of that GS3 ODIN thread to see if he can chime in here.

Any progress on this?

No, I put it on the backburner until I can get Linux installed and learn how to use it.

Hard Brick, Stuck on Boot logo!!!!

I've been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks now, I have gathered bits and pieces of information but I've had no luck getting this fixed. I was running a 4.3 release of Omni ROM and everything was running ok till I rebooted into recovery (CWM v6.0.3.6) and it asked me to fix root when I tried to reboot back to android. I did that and the tablet rebooted just fine, however the next morning when I woke up I found it stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo. I'm still able to get into recovery and download mode but after installing a few other ROMs through recovery and even returning back to stuck with ODIN, nothing has worked yet. Whenever I install a custom ROM in recovery the installation always completes without errors but once I reboot I can't get past the boot logo. On CWM I'm receiving the following errors: "Error Mounting /data!" and "Error mounting /efs!". On ODIN I have tried to return back to stock with and without a PIT file in hopes of re partitioning everything but still no luck. I have also tried to install a different recovery through CWM and ODIN but even though it always completes successfully, I'm unable to override my old CWM recovery partition.
These are the logs I was able to pull with ADB from Recovery:
Code:

Any ideas? Anyone????

Seems like a EFS problem.

This guide is for all GT-N80XX tablets.
As I see few days ago, many people have same problem as you. It's seems that your NAND partition corrupted and have EFS problem.
Easiest way (My BOOT LOGO MODDER) which one rewrite partition block 03,04 by new PARAM.BIN file:
Try this long story here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682626
And user Kavin Zhao use my MODDER and if doesn't work made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682004
Everything is about EFS problem or corrupted NAND partition.
I hope your device will be fine! :good:
In my signature you can see my device configuration. So try solve problem and then write if you solved problem or not.
For other people which have (almost) same problem as you, they can try this trick: (easy way)
1. Go to download mode (Hold Power more than 30 sec. for sure it's your device is really OFF and then hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN),
USB cable must NOT be connected!!!
2. RUN Odin 3.07 - 3.09 (important) on your PC, your tablet will show you ...ehm... black screen
(or you will see Download Mode screen according to how much is your NAND broke into your device.
3. Connect your USB cable with your PC where is ODIN software running. You should hear sound from your PC as always,
when you connect some device to USB PC port... I suppose that you have USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 installed in your PC.
If no, go before step 1. download the drivers and then continue.
4. If everything will be O.K your ODIN software will be green (mean port)
5. You must have ORIGINAL STOCK ROM for your country!!! For example CSC for Czech republic is N8000XEZCMG1 and it's very important use the same CSC for your country or operator (otherwise IMEI lost, WiFi doesn't work).
Link is here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ On this webpage you will see so called CHECKER, just choose MODEL, PRODUCT CODE, here you can choose your country (and carrier/operator in some country only), then will be automatically filled PDA, CSC, MODEM and then finally click on CHECK FIRMWARE and voila, you'll see DOWNLOAD button.
After that, you can read instruction and there is possibility also to download newest ODIN SOFTWARE (3.09) and after download software and ROM continue to step 2. or you can download STOCK ROM from this site:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8013 (As I see for GT-N8013 is only ONE firmware ?) Well, looks like it is!
6. In ODIN UNTICK REBOOT and F.RESET TIME and TICK (mean choose) NAND ERASE ALL.
IT'S VERY DANGEROUS because you reformat all your partition so I hope that you have some Backup file.
But I don't needed any backup and after click on PDA button and choosing the STOCK FIRMWARE and click on START button, my tablet was succesfully flashed.
7. If everything will work good = problem solved. If you will see strange WHITE STRIPES instead BOOT LOGO, get my BOOT LOGO MODDER, which one is in my signature and use it.
Harder way (assumed that you have GT-N8013 and EFS problem, no backup and so on):
(Thanks to tripijb)
1.- Install CWM recovery in your rooted tablet.
2.- Install ADB in your PC to be able to communicate with the tablet via com window. Install busybox as well.
3.- Google a nv_data.bin file till you find one. I found one.
4.- BOOT your Tablet in Recovery mode push both the power and the volume up button (the farthest to the power button). When the First letters appear, release the power button, not the volume up until entering in recovery mode.
5.- Go to your PC, connect the USB cable to your tablet and go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
6.- Type adb shell and hit return
7.- if you see # good, you have access to your tablet. Do not type su because does not work. You are root (I assume).
8.- type busybox df -h and check you do not have the efs mounted. In fact it does not even appear.
9.- Try to mount mmcblk0p3 (mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ) YES 0p3. I have found a lot of forums saying it is 0p1 but not in the Galaxy Note N8013 as you see in your post.
10.- Of course did not mount!!! That is the error. So we have to....
11.- Now try to make that partition, by typing mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
12.- Now try to mount it again by typing mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs It worked!!
13.- Now you have to keep the downloaded nv_data.bin file in the root of your sdcard, and a text file named factorymode with the letters ON inside.
14.- do busybox ls -ltr and you will see there is a folder called sdcard -> /data/media
15.- create a folder inside the /efs/ folder named FactoryApp
16.- Copy the factorymode from the root of your sdcard to the /efs/FactoryApp folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/factorymode /efs/FactoryApp
17.- Copy the nv_data.bin from your sdcard to your efs folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/nv_data.bin /efs
18.- Now change permissions to all those files inside efs with 0744 by typing: busybox chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode Do it with all!!
19.- Now change owner of the directory efs down with: busybox chown 1001.1001 /efs
11.- in CWM go to advanced and fix permissions.
12.- Boot in recovery mode.
13.- Try to mount efs partition and it works!!! Check with ADB that all your files are there and a lot more.
14.- Reboot the Tablet and the efs is there for good.
If you need some files like a PIT file or BOOT.IMG everything is here: http://www.arizzle.com/android/gt-n8013/
Wish you luck, Peter :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for your tips but I guess my internal memory is fried; I tried all the steps above multiple times but once I reboot the device I'm still unable to get past the samsung logo. None of the changes survive a reboot; I can't even install a new recovery partition. The device is out of warranty maybe I should just sell it on ebay for parts or buy a new motherboard. Even though at this point I'm not even sure if it'd be worth it to spend money repairing it versus buying a new tablet. I'm certain about one thing though, I'm not buying any more Samsung devices; this is the second time I face this issue in less than a year - my old Galaxy Nexus phone had the same problem.

But what you think about nand erase if i have kitkat 4.4.2? and what you think that is there anyway to make that boot image mod work for kitkat? is it impossible?

There is all about Odin or Kies Samsung Rom update. So nand erase all has been break point! That was problem, not the solution! And yes, even if you have KitKat, your hardware is still the sma N8000. So again, yes, everything must work great! I'm the proof

Hi
I have the same issues as OP (my last_log looks very familiar).
The ODIN part fails because when trying to erase NAND it always tells me it fails....So I was happy you suggest a different method :laugh:
Thing is when i try your repair guide i get to run
Code:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
and receive
Code:
~ # mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks
5136 inodes, 20480 blocks
1024 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
Maximum filesystem blocks=20971520
3 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
1712 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
after that when trying to mount i get
Code:
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
mount: can't find /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 in /etc/fstab
taking a look at fstab in fact there is no entry:
Code:
cat fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 rw
/dev/null /sdcard datamedia rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw
after that i tried mounting with
Code:
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs
but now I get
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 on /efs failed: Invalid argument
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
any other suggestions? any help is appreciated....and at least I know i am not the only poor sucker with this kind of problem

I got this CWM Recovery in our country forum (PH) others can make it work using Mobile Uncle but for me it doesn't work i think or i've missed some of the instructions.
DISABLE INTERNET TO PREVENT MOBILE UNCLE TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER RECOVERY
1.Download recovery(cwm).zip and extract
2.Copy recovery.img and put it to your Internal
3.Install Mobile Uncle (Included in the zip)
4.Tap recovery update then tap recovery.img
5.Reboot!

I have checked this type or recovery. I guess it's not for our phone Galaxy Core 2. U don't need Mobile Uncle to flash an image to your recovery partition.

I know that's recovery.fstab I used it but it must be defined somehow different.
Something like this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat default recoveryonly

Here is test version. It has to be flashed via odin as PDA file but it does not do anything because it doesn't mount any partition. And I used a litlle biger font

CWM Recovery
new build I have been able to mount all partitions but not ext Sd and int SD.
I used this recovery.fstab. If anyone have idea how to define vold managed partitions let's hear it.
edit.
fixed mount internal sd
add.
my sources for cwm recovery only. If anyone can contribute please do.
what is left to be done:
-bacup is made in /data/media instead in root of internal sd.
-mount point is not well formed for extra card so it can't be mounted at all

what is the right mount point to fix internal and external sd ?

mout points for sdcards

Question is not addressed to me but I will give a small contribution
It's kind of tricky regarding mount point of "internal SD".
Internal sd it's on same device (mmcblk0) as /data and it has multiple mount points but if you take a closer look with root explorer at /data/media/0 you will open emulated sdcard0.
So let's presume that src for internal sd is /dev/block/mmcblk0 and and let's say that mount point is /sdcard0.
Now let's go to BoardConfig.mk. I would suggest that we define internal storage path and mount point something like this:
Code:
RECOVERY_SDCARD_ON_DATA := true
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD := true
INTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/data/media/0"
INTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "data"
and now in recovery.fstab something like this:
Code:
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options>
/dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard0 auto default
Why fs type as auto? Because I am not sure is vfat and it share same device as /data.
Also there is: /mnt/obb, /mnt/asec, /mnt/secure and /storage/emulated an for all file system is = tmpfs
And one more thing. Internal sd is definitely 'emulatedsd,nonremovable'
Regarding external sdcard you already fix that.

Have tried with custom ramdisk = recovery.fstab - won't work - have to redefine BoardConfig and recreate the whole thing from the start.
Since I don't have linux machine I can't rebuild from the source. Still fixing the laptop, guess will have to buy new one
Looking forward for solution.
And once again internalsd is fixed, externalsd is not

Help! My phone becomes unbootable suddenly

It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, unrooted.
I factory reset my phone to stock ROM about a week ago. Suddenly it became unbootable today. I didn't do anything risky. If my memory serves, I simply updated an app one day before this incident.
It always stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo screen.
I can boot to recovery mode and download mode.
The following errors displayed when I booted to recovery mode:

I tried to wipe cache partition. It didn't help.
1. How could I backup data in this case?
I just need to get back my photos.
2. How could I fix and restore my phone?
3. Is it possible to root/reflash the ROM without wiping all data (only my photos are concerned)?
If so, how?
Please help. Thanks a lot.

It seems like partitions are corrupted.
1. Unfortunately if data won't mount, you can't recover photos that easily **
2. Firstly try to factory reset from recovery again, if it doesn't help try to flash with odin the lastest version of the firmware ( You can download it from SamMobile ).
3. There are some ways to root that shouldn't touch the /data partition, Framaroot or Kingroot should do the job, but you need before to factory reset the phone to install them.
**
watch?v=a7z8W6b2CrQ
Follow this video on youtube, you should be able to flash a TWRP recovery which should allow you to use the file explorer.
If anyway data doesn't mount, it is a problem. As i said in 2. you have to flash again the firmware, and after that you need to root your phone and use a software like Diskdigger to recover lost photos (You need a lot of luck, many phones now just erase completely files making them unrecoverable )

I downloaded twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar and twrp-2.8.7.0-t03g.img.tar
I ran Odin3 with admin privilege.

It is Samsung Galaxy Note 2, unrooted.
It always stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo screen.
I can boot to recovery mode and download mode.
What should I do to save my phone? Thanks a lot.
I tried to flash by using download mode but I got these errors.
When repartition is checked:

You seem to have wiped out EFS and system, yikes. Losing EFS typically doesn't go well unless you have an EFS backup to restore it.
Have you tried finding a OTA update or stock update.zip for your model number? If you find one you can flash it in stock recovery.

It is GT-N7100.
I'm not good at it. What is OTA update?
Where could I find the proper OTA update or stock update?
Should I use flash it again using ODIN and download mode? Thank you.

Google searching will answer all of your questoons, use your model number to search for a stock update that can be flashed by using your stock recovery(it must be a stock update.zip, it can't be a custom ROM .zip)
Do a Google search for:
"What is android OTA update"
"OTA update for (your model number)"
Or
"Stock update.zip for (your model number)"
Simple google searches will find what you need, all it requires is for you to use the right search terms, it not hard, it's just common sense.

It looks like it refers to over-the-air update, but it doesn't seem like to mean updating over Wi-Fi or wireless broadband, without plugging via USB to perform the update.
I tried but there are multiple options.
My phone won't boot up now. I couldn't even flash a stock ROM successfully. How could I perform an update?

It's a .zip file that you flash using stock recovery if any exist for your device. Yes, it is over the air but most of the time they can be downloaded separately then flashed manually in stock recovery instead of using the normal OTA process, but it's the sane file and same update, just done a different way.
There is also a thread here in the galaxy s2 gt i9100 forum that has steps to troubleshoot a failed Odin flash, it might help you.
