<KANE>How to make i9003 straight flash pack (system embedded cf-root, ext4, deodex)

<KANE>How to make i9003 straight flash pack (system embedded cf-root, ext4, deodex)
Most of the theme is zip format and flash with CWM,but so many people still don't know how to made the zip.So I make one tutorials for the people who don't know (EX:CF-Root,ext4,deodex and bla bla bla)
1.First,wipe data and cache
2.Flash the rom that you want via odin
3.Flash CF-Root(UC kernel also can)via odin
4.Open CWM,flash the deodex(zip)(how to make?google search )
5.When you want to convert you system to ext4 format,backup your rom via CWM firstAfter backup finnish,back to main menu,flash the ext4 format file(zip),restore the rom,than your system are fully convert to ext4 format!
6.After finnish first 5 step,use ADB tool
7.Go to wireless and network/USB setting,select "mass storage" ,and then Open "USB debugging" at applications/development ，open CMD(computer)
type “adb shell” and then connect to computer via USB,press enter,and than type
"dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096" then system.rfs will copy to internal SDcard（The system.rfs copy at here is included cf-root，ext4 and deodex）
8.Package it need to use linux system（Virtual Machine also can），at least linux 6 or Ubuntu 10
only linux 6 or above support ext4 format system file! If the version lower than 6 that the system.rfs cannot be mount
9.If you want further modify system.rfs, use terminal,type
mount：mount -o loop system.rfs /root/system/
unmount：umount /root/system/
note：(the path above is me own use! I create folder at / , switch to my new file directory, execute this command!
mount before modify，then after unmount it can be save
10.Package it ，must be add boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin and cache.rfs of the original rom,only can flash with this
now we need to cover the system.rfs with after modify one
Cover the normalboot.img in CF-ROOT into it.And cover the cache.rfs with after convert to ext4 one,and add userdata.rfs file
（you can get the cache.rfs and userdata.rfs at attachment, all rom also can use it!）Now you can package it
go to terminal with linux，cd Command change to the folder you create before this, put the boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img（cf-root one） system.rfs（modify one） modem.bin cache.rfs（cover one） userdata.rfs（add one）to the folder
Execute the command "tar cf PDA.tar boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin cache.rfs userdata.rfs" to package it！
PDA.tar is the file after synthesis ，and you can add other file if you want
11.And then copy the PDA.tar to desktop，flash with odin！dont forget to flash with pit file!Why must use pit file and userdata.rfs? Because pit file and userdata.rfs will re-partition and reset all user data ! So all version also can flash the zip file and no need to rely on other versions(pit can get at attachment)!
If it is not very good please tell me! Thanks for your support!
Hopes：
1.most of the XDA people are very pro，and I hope you can make a tutorials when you make a new thing
2.At china,so many people use I9003,so many people at XDA too!!so we hope when you create a new thing can add chinese!
（only hope,not force you!thank you!）

Hello Kane, if i understood you, with this procedure i can make a PDA.tar file to flash with ODIN but i also need a pit file althaugh it's a single file. Am i wright?
I could use this method to get a full pda.tar with the firmware i am looking for (i mean, if i get an i9003 phone with that firmware)?
I will explain myself:
recently i poste this question in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20360464#post20360464:

Hi people, i'm looking for the firmware UBKPD (2.3.6) wich is the one that is the update from UBKB1 (2.2.1) by kies in Argentina. I would like to get the official and unbranded, but in the official roms threads of sammobile or sampro.pl it didn't appear yet (like the XXKPQ in sammobile).
If anyone get it or if is possible to get it from Samsung i would be pleased.
On the other hand, if anyone can tell me if it's possible to extract it from a updated phone and to make a .tar file to flash to others it would be helpful also.
Thank you very much in advance.

If i get a phone with the UBKPD firmware, can i make a "UBKPD_PDA.tar" file? What else do i need to put it in my phone (i got now intalled the XXKPQ)? Should i flash it over XXKPE (ginger, 4 files) or mi old official froyo (UBKB1)?
Thank you very much in advance. Greetings from Argentina.

HI，luiseteyo！Steps should be so!
put the “boot.bin” “Sbl.bin” “param.lfs” “normalboot.img”（cf-root one） “system.rfs”（modify one） “modem.bin” “cache.rfs”（cover one） “userdata.rfs”（add one）to a new folder, then go to terminal with linux，use "cd" Command change to this folder and type :
"tar cf PDA.tar boot.bin Sbl.bin param.lfs normalboot.img system.rfs modem.bin cache.rfs userdata.rfs"

hi，Uan_ar
yes,u need a pit file..it can be found everywhere lol
sure,there is no doubt that u can make a "UBKPD_PDA.tar" file use this method..and u can flash it over every rom

i just wan to say about the ugly typesetting...= - =

OOkey, now I understood. But one more thing. I put the device in debugging mode and massive also. I conect it, I open cmd, I write the location of the adb with:
Code:
C:\Users\***\Desktop\ADB
Then I type:
Code:
adb shell
and then the code to backup system.rfs, but it does nothing in the phone and nothing in the cmd, do I have to wait? Thank you very much!!
EDIT: I answer myself. You have to wait despite it doesn't say nothing. The system.rfs backup is in the internal card (in my case)

Thank you very much Kane. I don't have any difficulties to find the pit, as you said is everywhere. However, my question was made in base that i never used pit when flashing just one pda.tar file.
What happens if i don't add the userdata.rfs? this pda.tar will work also on any other phone? which is te data that goes there? I´m asking you this because i don´t need/want the data from other phones (personal data, imei, etc.) i just want try to make a flashable update firmware for all the argentinian android i9003 comunity.
thanks again, and again

Interesting and useful. I thing the next link is useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724

userdata.rfs must be added, when the district needs it! Any ROM like this!

After connecting phone, enter the command directly in the CMD adb shell, do not brush into the ADB!

You can't flash an img file in Odin needs to be tar or md5 file. 7zip tars don't work but that does.

Extracting CSC from .tar.md5 file

Hello all, I love all the support from the developers who make our ROMs so great and was wondering the following question. Does anyone know how you can extract the CSC files from the .tar.md5 just so if a new one becomes available, I can just apply it immediately to that current ROM? I searched a few threads and found different methods like the s2toext4 method and that didn't work so anything would be most appreciated. I don't want to take anything from the developers and this will just be for my personal use.

Couldn't you just flash the CSC part of the ROM with ODIN?
Inside the .MD5 aren't any flashable files anyway other than a PIT file

I tried that as the file in Odin contains a cache.img and a hidden.img but when I boot the a custom ROM and check Phone Info, the CSC didn't change. I am just wondering how some developers extracted those .img files into the files we see into say the CSC changer.

Google and download ImgExtractor.exe and run it on cmd, e.g
Code:
D:\path\to\cache_img> ImgExtractor.exe cache.img
and you'll find the csc zip file under cache_\recovery .
Btw when you manually flash it through recovery, either stock or twrp, don't forget to mount /system first.

Not quite sure what you want to do, flash a stock (any) rom with you CSC ( home _ csc ) check this
Or change the CSC of your custom rom, if so check here

What if you modify inside the zip (change default region) and flash it back from recovery? Does it work? KNOX still 0x0?

What I believe is if you flash stock Samsung packages from ODIN, your Knox stays at 0x0 but once you flash modified software like TWRP Recovery, then you lose Warranty. Your phone should detect default region anyways as was the case when I went back to stock so only if you change the package integrity or flash custom recovery is when you will trip KNOX unless someone corrects me. I'll keep this thread open for the useful post about extracting .tar.md5 files in case someone has the same question I had, but I may not reply to other questions as besides flashing ROMs am not too knowledgeable in customizing ROMs.

@ viewdetails, did you try modifying the zip to change the default region and flash it back? Did it work?
I've recently bought an S7 whose region code I want to change to XFA, except it is still stock and unrooted, and XFA is part of a multi CSC only.
Not wanting to void the warranty by rooting just yet, I also had the idea of modifying the CSC tar.md5 file to make it work. Thing is I have not done something like this before and I don't know if doing so will set KNOX to 0x1 anyway.

When I download the repair firmware (4 pieces of ROM called repair software) for any device from the internet, the pit file is also available, but when I download the 4 pieces of pit file with SamFirm program, the pit file does not come out. When I extract the csc.tar.md5 file in the downloaded rom, I have the pit file in it. Is that the pit file I would choose in the Re-Partition section in the PIT file? In other words, do they retrieve the pit files in the repair firmware that are installed in the internete by extracting the file csc.tar.md5 like me?

You don't need to extract the PIT file, just check repartition, the CSC will do the rest as it contains the PIT anyway

I need a pit file for any device. The firmware file I downloaded for that device is csc.tar.md5 and the pit file that comes out of it is the file I am looking for ?

A flashable zip file needs /system to be mounted in order to make modifications - including installing and removing files - under it, so most zip files automatically do the mount process first before they do anything. However sec_csc.zip lacks that process, so if you want to flash it, you have to manually mount /system under MOUNT options first.

If you're trying to unpack an oreo firmware, looks like imgextractor cannot handle the cache.img properly. Instead you can follow the steps below:
1. Extract lz4 image
Code:
lz4 -d cache.img.lz4
2. Convert the extracted image with simg2img (you can compile one from AOSP source or grab from here)
Code:
simg2img cache.img cache.raw.img
3. Open cache.raw.img with a proper program like 7zip explorer, and you'll find recovery/sec_omc.zip.

I used the method from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-pixel-factory-t3563698
I changed cache.img to system.img
The program created a folder called system and copied there all the files
In system/recovery I found the file sec_csc.zip

You need to be a little clearer.
1. 100% Stock is a boot.sin which will only flash when using FlashTool. (.sin is a archive like .zip is a archive)
2. If you extract the .sin you will have a boot.elf the .elf can be flashed with recovery or adb shell dd cmd's but Not Flastboot. (or the last time I checked you could not )
3. So are you asking for the .sin, .elf or do you want someone to unpack the .elf then rebuild it as a .img for you??
