from what i understand... you can apply an image file with an NBH extension through fastboot... and you can also apply an image file with a ZIP extension through a flashed recovery mode.
what's the difference between these two kinds of files and two methods of flashing?
also... the instructions that i followed on the cyanogenmod website had me perform these steps.... 1) flash NBH in fastboot, 2) flash recovery using app installer, 3) flash cyanogenmod through recovery mode. my question is... why was the first step (flash NBH in fastboot) necessary? why couldn't i have just gone straight to flashing the recovery mode and then flashing cyanogenmod using recovery mode?
thanks for the help everybody!
anybody? somebody must know the answer to this.
i think nbh file contains all of the rom function such as spl, radio, system,image while zip file contains onyl apps, boot image and system folder

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

This guide will help you to convert a stock ftf file to a flashable zip file for CWM or TWRP or any other Recovery. Be sure you know what your doing before proceeding!!
Steps.
1: Extract the ftf file using any unzip manager or winter etc. You will see a bunch of files, but we only need the system.sin, boot.img, and META-INF files and folders for this procedure.
2: Go to META-INF->com->google-android folder and edit updater-script with a Text editor. Go down to package_extract_dir("system", "/system."); and change that to:
package_extract_file("system.sin","/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system");
3: Save and exit.
4: Now create a zip of the boot.img, system.sin and META-INF files and folders and flash in Recovery. Enjoy!
If bootloop occurs then you may have done something wrong. Edit ROM again in PC and move to phone sdcard and try to flash again. If bootloops again, just flash stock ROM back.
Thanks!!!

Download the stock recovery and any TWRP from the internet for your device. Downlaod carliv image kitchen and extract your stock recovery. Copy recovery.img-kernel and “recovery.img-kernel_offset”to any location in your pc. Now take the TWRP for your phone that you download but it's not WORKING. Extract it in the same way using carliv image kitchen. Form this extracted TWRP of your device delete recovery.img-kernel and “recovery.img-kernel_offset” and replace it with the file you copied from your stock recovery in the first step. Then repack this image and flash it. BTW is your bootloader unlocked?

Yes, my bootloader is unlocked (if you mean to ask if i have checked OEM/USB debugging in developer mode), I unlocked it first time i tried to run TWRP.
By "repack this image and FLASH IT", flash it using Odin, right?
My current TWRP is unaccessible

[TUTORIAL] How To Extract Files From a TAR.MD5 Stock ROM (SPH-D710)
I've received a TON of PM's and emails asking how to do this and I've decided to do a write-up for everyone. Now to start off, this does not automatically make you a Super Duper Developer, this does not show you how to make your own TAR ROMs...
forum.xda-developers.com
Open carliv.bat batch file.
Copy your device’s stock ROM’s recovery.img and paste it in the “recovery-resources” named folder that is located inside the unzipped folder.
In the Carliv Image Kitchen window, type in R and press enter. Next, type 1 and hit enter again.
Type 1 to unpack the image file that you downloaded earlier.
If you get a message, “Your image is unpacked in recovery folder”, you have successfully unpacked the image file.
Now open the recovery folder in the Carliv unzipped folder. Look around for a folder named “ramdisk” and other files.
Create a new folder somewhere and name it “stock” (you can name it anything you want). Copy and paste all the contents from the “recovery” folder (ramdisk folder and all 10 other files).
Next, delete the recovery.img file that was left behind on the “recovery-resources” folder before.
Also, delete all the contents in “recovery” folder.
Copy and paste the custom recovery image file, the TWRP that you want to port into the “recovery-resources” folder.
You will need to repeat the same steps as before.
never delete the custom recovery image in the “recovery-resources” folder.
Copy the “recovery.img-kernel” and “recovery.img-kernel_offset” from the stock folder and paste it to the TWRP which you extracted in recovery folder in carliv image kitchen . Overwrite it to replace existing files with the same name.
In the Carliv Image Kitchen window, type 2 and hit the enter key.
A message notifying that the image file was repacked will appear. You can view it on the output folder named “output”. This is the brand new TWRP ported image file.
Copy the newly made image file from the “output” folder and paste it to a new folder. Rename it as you want with any name of your choice. Hope it helps. If you are still stuck I'll do it for you

thx,thx,thx for the support!. I have done the carliv protocol but in the end the new compiled twrp failed in Odon. Maybe the new image converting to ,tar is the culprit? after that i tried to do the method in the video but twarp was 3 seconds visible and then back in bootloop!. i shall DL the magisk 20.3 edition. maybe that makes the difference'I bought this A7 last monday after a HUawei, that has no posibilities whatsoever for twrp or root, but in this Samsung I totally surprised that it, untill now, is so umbeatable, albeit unlocked!

Convert TWRP .img to .tar (for ODIN)[Easy]
Sometimes the latest version of TWRP is in ".img", so some people use an older version instead, which is in .tar, so they can flash it with ODIN. The thing is that the ".tar" version is just the ".img" compressed XD, so I'm going to show you how...
forum.xda-developers.com
i had done this with z7 myself already, but to no avail, but: i began, in a moment of despair, with Odon to try all the .tars i had collected sofar , to flash and when i flashed PBRP (it was not the first time) it worked!!!. after a week the gizmo do have a recovery, that is not stock! Little new prob: By rebooting system he bootloops (for a change!) in bootloader mode.
