[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?

Difference between zip and img?

Hi
What is the difference between a flashable zip and a .img file for installing twrp?
I found an unofficial twrp and they listed a .img file and a flashable zip.
The img one is no longer available but inside the flashable zip there's a .img file. Can I take out the img file and flash that?
I don't need a detailed response all I need is a yes or no.
Thanks

Yeah go ahead and flash the recovery.img file thats your twrp recovery

Just some stupid questions =))

Hi everybody!
Please tell me if I flash a rom with img extension, do I have to extract it or flash it directly in recovery mode?
Thanks for reading this <3
Android's recovery typically requires the files to be flashed packed as ZIP. You flash files packed as IMG via Fastboot tool.
