Is it possible way to flash custom ROM without increasind Custom Count?

Hello All,
Please look at these steps, is it will work?:
1. Root tablet without flashing CWM ( [HOWTO] Root the Galaxy Tab 2 7" without flashing the bootloader )
2. Install Mobile Odin and flash CWM (Without increasing custom count)
3. Backup current firmware in CWM (Because I cannot find original firmware for my region (SEK)
4. Install CM9/10, any other custom ROM
5. Restore backup of original firmware with CWM
And now is one more question: How to flash original bootloader (and where to get it?) without increasing custom counter?

I just rooted and flashed CM9 with my Tab 2 7.0. few days ago!!
Here is the steps I would like to share with you:
1. Use Task Manager to kill all Kies background programs, e.g. Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, KiesPDLR.exe...
2. Enable USB debugging in the Tab and connect to PC
3. Use the DebugfsRoot_v1.8.n95.zip from this post
4. Run RootDebugfs_n95.bat in command prompt with administrator right
5. Just few clicks and wait for the Tab to reboot twice
6. Now the Tab is already rooted, install Mobile Odin from Play store and install the CWM recovery by Mobile Odin
7. Reboot Tab in CWM and flash CM9 & Gapps

Thanks a lot!
But question about restoring stock recovery still active... I need to know where to get original recovery from Samsung and how to flash it (I do not want lose varanty if something happens with tablet )

Did you try to search the stock rom from www.samfirmware.com?

Sure, but there is no ROM for Ukraine . Also looking it on the samsung-updates.com with same negative result.

If you have p3100(wifi+gsm) download P3100XWBLF5 (it's Russia 4.0.4 ) extract with winrar,and you will find recovery.img inside,and flash it with Mobile Odin.It works 100% ,I have tested myself.You can flash with Mobile Odin any recovery you want,not only CWM,you can flash any official recovery.img ,just extract it from your rom with winrar.
Cheers!

Thanks!
I have GT-P3110, but i think that recovery same for all regions and it can be extracted from any ROM for 3110. Is i am right?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Yes,unpack any rom for p3110 ,and extract recovery.img from it,put on your sdcard (internal or microsd) open Mobile Odin,and select Open recovery,and flash it.It will work 100%.
Cheers!

I can't extract md5 files, help..?
and btw mobile odin isn't compatible with my tab so I'll try odin. :S

*.md5 file is tar archive. You can change extension from *.md5 to *.tar and unpack it (for ex; with using WinRar). Also you can use Total Commander for unpacking.
P.S. Will try this method in a week or little bit later. (I am on Vacation and dont have any laptop)

help pleaase S6 sm-g920f

hello hope you are fine
i have galaxy s6 sm -g920f
it was running on 5.1..1 G920FXXU2BOGE

in recovery mode it was still MM recovery and written dm-verify verification failed need to check dRK first ... ?
what the problem please any solution ???
sorry for my bad english

Hmm. Let's try this.
1. Go to recovery->wipe everything.
2. Reflash stock rom through odin.
2a. If it fails at cm.bin or any other .bin file or hidden.img file just delete them from the .tar file using 7zip.
3. If it still fails. Google "G920F pit file" and flash it with that file.
3a. If that STILL fails. Remove all files from the .tar file and just leave system.img and sboot.bin(or img not sure).
4. Now reflash and enjoy! . If anything fails after all my steps. Copy and paste the odin log and I will try to figure out something else.

Custom ROM in .TAR file

Any Custom ROM to install by ODIN (.TAR file) for J700M ?
or any Boot Logo in .TAR file in order to install it by ODIN for J700M ?
or How to change .ZIP install file to .TAR install file ?
Thanks in advanced.

Why do you want a ROM with this format? Do you have TWRP installed on your J7? The only ROM, which I have in TAR format is the Stock ROM, are you interested?

Thanks GrayNinja33, I need this because my Phone doen't work, when I turn it on, stay in black screen, only Download Mode Works.
If you have any idea to transform a .zip file to .tar file I will apretiate that.

Hi
Try downloading your firmware from sammobile.com based on your country code and flash it with Odin while your phone in Download Mode, in Odin, check f.reset time and auto reboot, don't check any thing else.
The firmwares link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/sm-n7505/SM-N7505/

SAM MOBILES FILE FAILED BUT "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip "
The file from sammobile (dot-com) did NOT FIX the issue of my note3 neo sm-n750; but with the old file, i tired before, ( "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip" from filehost(dot)com fixed the issue.
Why i failed before with the same file?
Actually i copied the "...full-factory ROM.. .zip" into an sd card and tried to 'install from the external sources' option in phone's recovery.
why?
As you know, the Odin only allow .tar,.md5,.smd .gz, .tgz formats; NOT ZIP file. I thought the recovery program can extract the zip file from the external SD card and do the rest . So i didn't try to extract it manually.
The zip file from sammobile contains only one md5 file. I tried it with odin's AP button and executed but failed with some error messages.
So I extracted "...full-factory ROM.. .zip file" (once i left), and I got AP, BL, CP, CSC files. then I selected and executed each file with ODIN's desired buttons and It gave my SM-N7505 a new life.
Anyway, Thank you very much dear Mr.MigoMujahid for spending time to help me
God Bless you

Hi Mr-Shihab
To flash a zip with recovery, then it has to be a flashable zip, it should be built in a specific way so the recovery can work with it, and the zip you have is a normal compressed files, so it can't be flashed at all with recovery, also note that the zip you downloaded from sammobile might be corruptedly downloaded, because sammobile offer a clean roms, anyway, you can also use samsung-firmware.org, it's a trusted site as well.
Ps: that md5 file you got works the same as the 4 files you downloaded after.
God bless you too

Had the same issue with a note 3 neo once, completely bricked it and couldn't flash stock firmware. Went to odin recovery mode as it is called (or something like that) and just put in some information found once you take the battery out and it did its thing and bam it is working.

There is Odin download Mode and there is Recovery Mode!!, which one do you mean?! ?
Also Recovery Mode is to flash files or wipe, and Odin Download mode is to flash files with Odin, how did you input anything there?!!

There is a recovery mode (not the one where you flash your roms and replace with twrp) in kies (my bad for not saying that) that reflashes the whole phone, you could literally erase the recovery or the kernel and you'd still be able to recover it which you can check out here

[Q] Can you mod ODIN-flasheable firmware?

Hi, I have this idea and can't seem to find how (if possible) to do it:
I got the stock firmware for my device and I'd like to mod the AP tar.md5 file so that I can either remove the stock recovery.img from it, or switch it with the TWRP img file? If I simply extract the files and repack them in a new tar file would it be flasheable in odin?
