I'm trying to install the new version of twrp that was just released yesterday for my note pro 12.2, WiFi.
I'm using the Odin method.
When I download the twrp file to my windows p.c., there is no file extension so it doesn't show up in Odin.
Am l to simply rename this file? And what to? tar.md5?
Also should I use the PDA button when flashing the twrp file in Odin?

Ok. I hope this is in the right spot. I have read thru the forums and can not seem to find a solution to my problem..
To start, I have a Verizion Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate. I am wanting to Root it in order to install Jellybean Rom.. Im using ODIN for this.
These are the two links I am currently using as guides..
theunlockr.com/2012/11/09/how-to-root-the-samsung-fascinate-odin-method
galaxyforums.net/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/1967-how-root-froyo-gingerbread-your-fascinate
Here are the files I have downloaded...
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones
su-2.3.6.1.x
Superuser (ClockworkMod Recovery)
my problem is Odin is not reading ANY of the above files when im instructed to use the PDA button. the instruction tells me to choose the Clockwork (CWM3_Voodoo.tar .md5) But that does not exist-The files I have downloaded are in zip files. I've extracted these file to folders and Odin still does not read the files. I guess what I need are updated links to these files and maybe an updated guide to rooting my. Thanks!!
DISCLAIMER: Since this is a third-party supplied file, flashing this file places any and all outcomes on YOU, the flasher (get your mind out of the gutter, thanks.) This file, though supplied by Samsung Kies 3, may cause issues or have undesirable effects. What these effects are, I have no clue. If you have a custom recovery, it will be overwritten with the stock recovery. Again, if you use this, you are the one responsible for any negative outcome.
This the official stock ROM flashable via Odin. This took me a few hours to download several times and locate the temp directory that housed it. It is a 2.12 gig tar.md5 file. Since Samsung does not have an open source copy for us to download, I used Kies 3 to download it.
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Using the most recent Odin, put the file in the AP section and flash it.

Thank you so much it fixed my bricked device!
Thank you so much - Accidentally upgraded firmware and lost root and could not re-root. Worked like a charm and used kingroot to gain root again. You rock!
It downloads as a .RAR file if converted to .TAR, ODIN can not load it. How can the .rar file be used by ODIN?

The flashable .Tar file that you will use to restore your device via Odin, is located inside the .RAR provided in the download link. Once the .RAR file has been unrared/unzipped using 7zip, you will have your restore .Tar file that you're referring to. If you need to, you can Google 7zip and download it. The program is free and open-source, and it supports .RAR .TAR .ZIP etc. Happy Restore!
@jaywillsoul Please add to the OP that this firmware will wipe the device.
Thanks again for the firmware!

I was able to un-brick my wife's Verizon Core Prime with this. Thank you for your time and effort, @jaywillsoul.

Fail
I downloaded the firmware, began to flash and Odin wrote "FAIL", and the screen after turning on is "Software update failed. Your device didnt update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repare your device and complete the update." But the Verizon Software Repair Assistant after this can not find the phone.
Thank you for this wonderful gift to the underdeveloped Core Prime! :good: worked for me and I was able to root afterwards!
is that process unlock the sim card lock for Verizon
ty it work's. I can root now
Sorry to bump this thread, but will updating through recovery mode end up wiping all the data of the phone? (like pictures, and files)
I was dumb and didn't enable usb debugging before my phone got soft bricked, now it freezes on the carrier animation
My phone is a model SM-G360T1

You have the wrong model - this guide is for the G360V, not the G360T1. Sorry.
With much embarrassment I have to admit I really thought I was smarter than a tablet and a few simple clicks. Apparently not. So now I am here with issues that I am sure someone can answer because your more advanced than a few clicks and a tablet.
I have briefly looked for a resolve to my issue but it is very overwhelming. So if you can just point me in the right direction and hold my hand at the same time I would be very appreciative :good:
Issues:
I originally downloaded Odin, GT-P5113 4.0.4, CM 12.1, CW Unofficial Touch 6.0.3.3 p5100 zip. I launced Odin and followed the steps from a you-tube video. Well upon my surprise CW was not on the tablet so I was at the Tabs generic recovery screen. I choose the option to delete all user data ( lots of no's to select from and one Yes). Well continuing to be a fool I completed this process. When the tablet rebooted I was stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I decided to get to the download screen and install smt810_cf_autoroot.tar. After loading this tar via Odin I became stuck on the Android man downloading screen. Waited a bit and nothing. Then my tablet shut down and came up with "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" with the tablet-yellow ! icon and pc icon.
Another issue is when i download these files Odin will not find them in my file. Why? I usually keep them unzipped as a .rar in order for odin to show them so I can select PDA and attempt to install them.
Is there a way to still upgrade the Android system and fix this Firmware error at the same time?
Basically I am so new to this I need specific directions on resolving my issue. So if anyone has a moment please help me out here. I appreciate your time and knowledge
And I can use Odin to install to the tablet. If that helps Just not in the download screen on the tablet.

first you should download the stock firmware of your device, if it's p5113 then search and download the same firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 check this thread if it's there, if it's not please google it, if already have it, ignore..
Once you have it, you should get the firmware md5 file (by unzipping the rar.) Odin will take tar file or md5 file. put it in Odin AP/PDA check the thread for all the details on how to flash correctly.
you have to get into download mode by pressing the power and volume up/right to do that once the firmware is successfully flashed and your tab starts running again. first get this part done.
Always use files that are meant only for your device. if your tab say p5113. then make sure the file you are flashing states it is meant for p5113 and not p5100. (maybe not in the rooting case cause it's same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309 here for all)
At some places you will find files marked as p51xx. those files are generally safe too and are meant for the p51xx tab series but that is later stage.
I appreciate the feedback and have found I had tried to flash my tablet with GT-P5110 software when i actually have a GT-P5113TS. I have found the firmware but my issue is when I download anything and extract it with using rar. I never get a .tar file or anything Odin can not recognize to select PDA and use.. What would cause that? How do I fix this?
Thank You

Try winrar or 7zip, it should extract, you need md5 or tar format in pda section. If not what error are you getting? There must be some file when you open the archive?
Basically when I download the zip file I want and then extract it to a specific folder. All I after unzipping is File folders with other file folders inside,Img, File, PROP, and SH. I never extract anything that is a Tar file or anything Odin can recognize when on PDA within Odin. Plus a lot of times I click on a link for a download off this site and it sends me to some watch-movies website. Not a actual download. Or I am just missing it.

Maybe it's a bad link to your stock file then. Perhaps someone can give proper file link to the stock firmware. Inside the zip it's basically a md5 file for firmware to flash. Sadly I don't have a proper yoi will have to find of the net.
So, i got a new J320FN, i hard bricked it after trying to flash a custom recovery and root it.
I figured everything out and i unbricked it, and on top of that i installed TWRP and SuperSU.
I made this package, that includes everything that i used to unbrick + root it, and i also made the tutorial:
"THE PACKAGE"
This is what you can find in the package:
Unbrick/Stock Android TAR.MD5 Files (for J320FN).
Multiple Partition PIT files (for every version of the phone).
Hidden.img.tar file (for J320FN).
Hidden.img PIT file (for J320FN).
TWRP Recovery (for every version of the phone - only tested on J320FN).
Odin v3 (for every Samsung Phone).
ADB Drivers, Samsung USB Drivers.
Hit the :good: Thanks button if this helped you <3
And also guys, if you could make a mirror for the package, it would be great.
My internet connection is limited so i can't upload it to another site, and Dropbox is limited, so...

Nope, i only have the PIT file for it, and i also included it in the package.
To get the ZIP file (that includes the .tar.md5 files) please go to
https://service-gsm.net/Samsung/J320P/J320PVPU1AOL2_SPT1AOL2.zip/
and buy the file for $2, it works (btw, post the files here so other people won't need to pay)
Btw you need to find this file:
ALL_SPT_J320PVPU1AOL2_J320PSPT1AOL2_CL6363917_QB7487813_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

I have a rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop 7 P310A and i can't find any place that explains EXACTLY how to unpack this file and how to insert it into my phone. (I have always had a Samsung phones and used TWRP and Odin, but there isn't a TWRP, and i don't think i can use Odin with this CWM file as it isn't a .tar file its a .img file. Please help.
