hi

with that tool is it possible to combine in a tar.md5 file both .bin and .mbn file ?

i want to create a bl for my n9005 so i need NON-HLOS.bin and .mbn file

can I use this tool to make odin-md5 file from sboot.bin for Bootloader and modem.bin for Modem?

(I have note 5)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ph.miki:
C

I want that too. I was doing that with galaxy i9000, but now I have note 4 SM-N910C. Is the streps the same?
[Galaxy S 4 General] zabhi:
how did you do before?:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] ph.miki:
ok here you go:

first of all i would really suggest to leave boot.bin and sbl.bin out, the risk that you (when testing) and also users could break their phone then is rather high. there is a thread in developers section that provides odin flashable packages of bootloaders, i would link users to that.

here how you make an odin package:

open cygwin terminal and connect phone in debugging mode (make sure that you didnt modify ANYTHING and have a freshly installed rom on it)

PHP Code:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096

you should then have factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs and zImage on your sd card

copy param.lfs and dbdata.rfs from stock jvs (extract pda) on your sdcard as well

PHP Code:

cd sdcard

tar -f factoryfs.rfs dbdata.rfs cache.rfs zImage param.lfs -c [your rom name].tar

param.lfs and dbdata.rfs are only required when you want to provide full wipe version (with pit), otherwise you just can leave it out. optionally you can copy your preferred modem.bin to your sdcard and include it in the tar ball, so you dont have to put it manually in phone section in odin.

then copy the tar file from your sdcard to your home folder in cygwin, exit adb and change directions to the path you have put in the tar file (if you put it directly in the home folder (with your name) you dont have to

then:

PHP Code:

md5sum –t [your rom name].tar >> [your rom name].tar

PHP Code:

mv [your rom name].tar [your rom name].tar.md5

a md5 file will be created in the same folder

How to convert .ZIP to .TAR.MD5 ?

Can anyone please answer the above question? Because My Samsung Note 2 is stuck on Logo. Not booting into recovery but booting into Download mode. So i can flash a .tar.md5 ROM file using Odin. But I have a ZIP ROM file. So how to convert it to .tar.md5?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hcp006sl:
What is the content of the .zip file? Is it a custom ROM? If your phone is not going even to recovery then download the stock ROM from [url]https://www.sammobile.com/ [/URL].

If your phone is GALAXY Note Ⅱ GT-N7100, then your firmware is here - [url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-/GT-N7100/[/URL]

Flash it with odin. But, you must have to download your original Stock ROM. If flashed with wrong Stock ROM, your phone may be bricked out completely. So, do it at your own risk.

If you want to convert zip to tar.md5, then unzip the zip file. You would probably get multiple .img files and other binaries. Now conver them to .tar.md5 by the tool attached in the thread.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rizkhan999:
Yes that ZIP file had multiple .img files. But I went to he repair shop and found out that its eMMC was faulty. So sold away the phone to them for $20 :(

It became faulty after a had put it on charging the whole night. Thanks anyways.

The main differences is in the Network Bands the two supports.

The importance of the two is because if one of the device models doesn't have the capability to use the the Network Bands needed for the other device model, then it's useless as a phone or internet device.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Ibuprophen:
I did a quick search involving a few different keyword combinations for this and it looks like there's one way that seems to be a bit consistent regarding the G925K.

It looks like the G925K has an unlocked bootloader.

Your getting that error because the models are mismatched and the system won't allow it because, primarily, the Bootloader is blocking it.

You can look into installing the G925K TWRP and then install a G925F Firmware via TWRP.

That's an idea... Hmmm... :rolleyes:

Very interesting usage of variables, both op's and yours.

I've been going the easier way to make a custom bat file following the original bat. We could either make a bat to have user input a file or directory that is needed to be tar-ed ...

Anyway for Samsung's bootable stuff this my tar.md5 script:

bin\tar --create --format=gnu -b20 --quoting-style=escape --owner=0 --group=0 --totals --mode=644 -f boot.tar aboot.mbn rpm.mbn sbl1.mbn sdi.mbn tz.mbn boot.img NON-HLOS.bin
bin\md5sum -t boot.tar >> boot.tar
bin\mv boot.tar boot.tar.md5

This was for G900F, any newer or older Samsung will be different

I am currently blanking on what ext4 files are but you have probably downloaded the wrong file to flash. This script is for .img files, not .img.ext4 files.

Unclear how to convert from .zip to TAR.MD5 with Odin

I have downloaded the TarTool for Odin but I don’t quite see how to convert to TAR-MD5 the zip file of the ROM I want to flash in my Samsung Tablet

Once I unzipped the Odin Tar Tool, I get a folder containing the following files/Folders:

Bin Folder

Other Files: Batch, imgToTarMD5,Odin,Yes_file, Log

The Bin folder contains the following files:

Cygattr-1.dll

Cygiconv.dll

Cyginti-8.dll

Cygwin1.dll

MD5 Sum( opens command screen)

MV ( Cmd screen opens, disappears)

Tar ( ditto)

Odin3 .exe ( already previously installed)

Odin3 ( configuration settings)

TMAX.dll

ZLIB.dll

I can;t see any IMG file there

Again, I don’t know how to convert the ROM .ZIP file to Tar.MD5 based on the above files/ folders.What do I have to rename? Can somebody help?

I hope somebody replies because I already posted on a another issue a few days ago and I have no reply as yet.

[Galaxy S 4 General] zfk110:
This tool is to get your stock boot.img file and then convert to Tar.MD5 so you can install it using Odin, so download your stock firmware then unzip it using 7zip software after that copy your boot.img file into tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad\tar-Tool run the batch file ImgToTar.MD5.bat which will create that boot.img into boot.imgTar.MD5 so you can odin it using CP tab, is that what you are trying to achieve?

how to make multiple *img+*img+*img into one *tar.md5 file
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ibuprophen:
Though, not impossible but, can (potentially) do more harm than good.

Each separate tar file needs to be able to run through its process from start to end without interruption. Combining them may end up interrupting the process for the next one before said process has been completed. If the img files are separate in itself, then there's a reason for this.

The best way to deal with separate img files are to flash them separately and, technically, wouldn't take much longer than a combined one would take.

As I had stated in the first part (that this isn't impossible), I just wanted to let you know that I don't do this myself because of these reasons.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :eek:

Good Luck! :)

So, your display is blurred or the camera? If it's the screen at fault, posting apicture from the camera doen't help us as it isn't displayed on your screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikeycollins13:
the screen is at fault

it is the screen, not the camera that is gone. that is why I mentioned that this happens on cnn.com too. I don't know how to do a screen shot, so I had to use a photo.

This but is similar to what one might see on an overly mpeged photo, or if I take the colors on my PC screen down to 64 or 128 from128000 etc. so I think is a setting issue, maybe tomtom reset the scree somehow? who knows, but the fix lies somewhere in the registry, I hope
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Again, it won't matter if you do a screen shot as the grab is handled internally.

Get a camera and take a picture of the screen when it's displaying the problems.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikeycollins13:
a bit of confusion here...

I don't have a pc here, so I could only see the photo through this screen, not realizing the camera and hence data/ photo uploaded were absolutely fine.

Lacking a means of showing the problem, all I can do is describe it, so here goes.

The photo and images look very square, some large areas that, for example used to a clear blue, with detailed tones and variations in brightness/ contrast, becomes solid blue. this happens everywhere, all contrast and detail flatening out and becoming solid/opaq.

It may be a screen resolution or color setting that has been altered and that cannot be changed back after a hard reset. Thanks for offering to help here,

Hello XDA,

This is just a general question, but I do a lot of flashing and installing new ROMs. I was wondering if there are any negative effects on device performance or general health due to flashing and wiping? Does it slow the phone down or mess up internal storage if you do so?

Cheers,

ccrama
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Nope.. in fact I would say if anything it speeds it up. None of us would know because we don't keep a rom on for like a year to see if it becomes corrupt and slow. lol

No one keeps a phone more than 2 years anymore and by then the battery is shot, so abuse the heck out of it.
[HTC One S] gelo01:
I couldn't agree with your second statement my friend.. in fact, i'm still using my wildfire for more than 3 years now, and it still doesn't fail on me.. i just use it as a backup phone but it's still fast with common tasks i use it with.. :)

To answer the OP, no, wiping and/or flashing custom roms/kernels will not have an impact on your phone's performance over time. Just be sure to wipe all that has to be wiped before jumping from rom to rom and/or kernel to kernel. And also, be sure to read all the instructions and description before you flash any mod, make sure and double check if it is really compatible with the rom you are on. :thumbup::cool:
[HTC One S] 350Rocket:
1. My friend is using a 3 year old HTC desire on the original battery that's still working good.

2. He is also on the 3 year old stock 2.2 ROM which is just starting to slow down after almost 3 years without any factory wipe.

3. I think that there may be more stress on some of the hardware if you do lots of flashing. I wouldn't want to flash a new ROM every day or even every week. Once a month or two is probably OK though. I could be wrong but can anyone really prove either way?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrecoISU:
Quick backstory: I was using CM 10.1 and it started randomly shutting down. I updated to 10.2. Same issues, worse. It seemed like it happened more often between 60% and 40% battery life. I wiped and installed Kinology. It would do about the same thing, I never did get it fully set up after the install.

I decided to wipe the KFHD 7. I used KF First Aide and attempted to restore to 7.2.1, twice. Both times on the restart the Kindle Fire booted to recovery and it nothing I did would work.

Next I used the first aide utility to to update to 7.2.3. Success! Except... It still crashes on the lockscreen.

It is currently to factory settings and I'm still occasionally getting the crash. I assumed with a full restore then reroot and add custom rom I'd have fixed the problem.

Any help would be wonderful... Frustrating having messed with it all day.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] r.suchil2:
So today I was preparing to flash another ROM, so I connected my phone that was on a Sense ROM (OMJs v1.8) and began to delete folders on the phone from my computer. Once I did that I copy and pasted the latest gapps and CM nightly onto the root of my phone. All of a sudden my phone rebooted and would not stop, right in the middle of the file transfer. I did not flash this rom after it copied because the phone began to reboot mid-paste. However, I had recently just installed philztouch custom recovery so I thought that the recovery was the problem. I then installed TWRP through fastboot. Keep in mind I couldn't even access my recovery. Everytime I tried, the recovery screen would show up for a second and reboot. No matter which recovery I tried, my phone could not reboot recovery. So here I had a phone that still has my OS installed and in tact..but for some reason randomly rebooted out of nowhere, continued to reboot over and over again, couldnt even boot recovery or the actual OS. I had no idea what the problem was. When I finally calmed down and got recovery to boot philz touch, every time I tried to perform a simple wipe, the phone would stop mid wipe and reboot. Luckily I got recovery to consistently reboot and I finally got a ROM to install through recovery (not adb sideload). My question is has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone know why this happened?

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casineau:
I was using [REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial and had gotten to step 3 of the guide where I downloaded the recovery and boot img's and put them onto the device. I had the device rooted fine, installed FireFlash, selected both the files in the correct places, and selected the check box for flashing bootloader 8.1.4. I did however fail to select "apply stack", which is where I'm assuming I made my fatal mistake. I proceeded to hit flash and it then rebooted into TWRP. I thought I had done everything successfully as far as I could tell. Made some backups with TWRP and then went to reboot but it froze on the kindle fire logo.

I should have made backups with the command adb pull before proceeding but it didn't work for me the first time so I gave up. Probably should have done that properly. But I've been trying to use KFFirstAide and KFHD SRT to at least get it to a working state. But I've had no success trying to get the device into fastboot. The device will show up momentarily in device manager as jem something and then disappears after connecting the usb cable from a turned off state. The only thing I can do with the device at the moment is getting the orange kindle fire logo to turn on and off by holding the power button. I feel like I have some sort of idea about going to environment variables and editing paths to point it to the folder with adb and fastboot, along with having the correct drivers. Well, I don't know about the drivers cause I've tried two different ones. I'm clueless at this point and could use some help.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Try installing the drivers in my signature for the jem device as soon as it shows up, then when that's done, shut the device off, and run your fastboot command as follows: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
