Hey [MENTION=3542396]gungan3[/MENTION] ,

I was driving and couldn't reply earlier but I'm all yours now. :)

I'm on Windows 7, 64bit and I did this few months back when I got the same problem. It solved it right away!

These are the steps I did to make it work:

1. Download the 5.1.1. BOJE firmware .zip which is called "SM-G890A_G890AUCU3BOJE_G890AATT3BOJE_ATT.zip"

2. Extract the zip file to get the MD5 file inside called "G890AUCU3BOJE_G890AATT3BOJE_G890AUCU3BOJE_HOME.tar.md5".

3. Put the MD5 file in the main folder of the TAR_MD5_PACKAGER tool. Not in a sub folder, but in the main folder (check the attached screenshot).

4. Start the tool from "TAR.MD5_PACKAGER.bat". In the tool window click 3.

5. In the next window click 1, then Enter, then Y. It'll start extracting the MD5 file.

6. Once ready it'll ask you to click any key. Click any key and you'll see the main menu of the TOOL program. Now go to the TOOL folder, then the subfolder "parts" and delete the file "cache.img"

7. Switch back to the TOOL program and click 1 to "Make Tar" and to create the new TAR file. On the next screen it'll ask you to choose a name. Type anything you want. I've typed UPDATED. Then click Enter, then Y. It'll start packaging the new tar file. Once it's done it'll ask you to click any key and they it'll bring the main menu of the TOOL again. (see the second screenshot)

8. Now in the main menu of the TOOL click 2 to "Add MD5 to Tar", then click 1 and Enter, then Y. It'll start adding the MD5 and once it's completed it'll ask you to press any key.

9. Press any key and you're back to the main menu of the TOOL. Press 4 to "Exit" and you're out of the program. Go to the TOOL folder, then subfolder "packaged". Inside you'll find the new flashable file "UPDATED.tar.md5". Do not rename or change the file anymore. Just flash it with ODIN. The phone will load. Then go to recovery and wipe data and cache. Then flash the original MD5 file and you'll be good to go :)

No, I've never done any of the things I've written in my thread. I had a dream about it and I've decided to write it here for fun... :laugh:

But seriously... next time you can spend some time reading the thread before asking a question. :cyclops: Several people had this problem so far and the solution worked out for everybody. Just because you had a problem doesn't mean that everybody else doesn't know what they're talking about. I don't know what you did and why you had a problem but it's on your end. If you share your experience (steps, OS and etc) we might figure out what was the problem. I'm on Windows 7 64bit and had no problems at all using the TOOL. You can also check the screenshots since I did it again now to make sure it's working properly and to help the other guy.

Since you mention that this is my thread I would like to kindly remind you that XDA is about helping people and sharing your experience. There is a member here who had a problem and instead of giving him your solution you want to go after the incompetent OP who doesn't know what's in his thread. The guy is asking you again about it but you keep waiting for my reply. You might want to refresh your memory of the Forum Rules and specifically about number 10:

10. Help others if you can.

If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Cheers! :)
