[Q] Need Help

First of all, what Im trying to do is to extract the .tar.md5 files that come with every ROM.
Every time I do that I get a message from 7-zip "There is no correct record at the end of the archive", however the files are extracted.
Below are the files inside the extracted folder:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
Then I try to open the system.img with unyaffs but I get some errors there too for example: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
So my questions are:
1) How to correctly extract a .tar.md5 file?
2) How to open a yaffs2 .img file?
Thanks

try on RAR.

I tried with Rar, but still the same

How to repack system.img?

I have converted sparsechunks to a single system.img. Then extracted that system.img and modified it. Now how to convert the folder to system.img again? I have tried mtk extractor which actually failed but didn't show any log.
