Is it a zip (that doesn't have a tar inside) or is it a tar file? Zip will most likely be in CWM, tar is always ODIN.

What does the file structure look like inside of the zip?
i have downloaded 2 different files that are supposedly 2.3.6 and none of them are working. i have a zip version i got from sammobile.com that i think that is password locked but only gives me an error when i try to extract it. i can open it and theres a md5 file in there
the other one is a rar file and i dont know what to do with it.
i have darkside digital warfare rom but i cannot get it to install correctly thru cwm. i gets to darth vader loading screen blue line fills up then flashes samsung and turns off and thats it.
i just want to get back to stock and take the back and start over with a new one

It's a .tar.md5 file extension?
in the type column just says md5. it doesnt say tar anywhere
Yes they are files to use through odin inside a zip file...
And they are password protected ... You must extract the zip first , then use the file in odin ...
usually samfirmware.com, sammobile.com or something like that ...
thanks for your help guys. i will try tomorrow when i get home from work. i have juggernaut running pretty good on it now
sounds like you have an incomplete dl too
where would i put in the password on the sammobile stock rom? i will redownload it to see if changes

can u point out the folder???
It resides in the User Temp folder of your windows user profile.
And is deleted as soon as the firmware upgrade is completed on your phone.
can you post the exact compressed file name..what zip utility are you using.
I know winzip is suck..cant unzip alot of stuff.
What size is the package file ?
if the package is stored on non-english characters..that post problem too.
Its just any random file name ending with a TMP extension. Its about 257MB.
e.g. tmp2EFA.tmp
Still no leads to opening this file.
Post the first line of the file: some formats are identifiable based on their opening signature.

What unzip program are you using ?
Can you try change the extension to .7z and use WinRar to unzip it..Winzip no go
Before Kies starts to flash the firmware, it decrypts the .tmp file to .zip file in the same directory. When Kies update window says "Extracting binary file" or something like that, you can copy the zip file from temp directory. It contains one tar and one dll file. Tar file can be flashed with Odin

If that's the case, are there any other ways to decrypt this file back to zip directly than doing the whole upgrade thing again just for the zip?

That is what I get every time I try to extract the file. It gets to 99% and then errors out. I've redownloaded twice already. Am I doing something wrong?
Try using 7zip if you arent and tell us if it continues... also have you tried re-downloading? might just be a simple corruption?
Try another browser or download client to get the file

after try to extract with 7zip, it got extracted with md5 on it but still get the eror notice (corrupt file) on rar file. Then does this md5 file save to flash?
Rename the *.md5 you just extracted from the original *.zip to... *.md5.zip extension. Then extra the file you've just renamed again. If you can extract the contents to see files like recovery.img, then the md5 is safe to use. Else try a different browser...
You don't need to unzip it.
Check it's checksum and match it if it's available.
Also check the source.
You can also try to flash it directly.
It won't be flashed if it has a corrupt hash.

Checksum hash miss match doesn't mean the data is corrupted because the hash is appended to the end of the tar file. If you can untar (or unzip if you prefer) the contents successfully, means you can rebuild the *.tar.md5 to flash with odin or just flash the extracted contents using mobile odin...:good:
Close antivirus while downloading as well extract.
Check log of antivirus, if there is reports regarding virus notice for zip file then select restore and try extract.

You must download it again. Your zip is corrupted.

Hi guys, I would like to extract boot.img from a Stock ROM without the need of installing it on my (Galaxy Note 2 T-mobile). All I found on the internet is how to extract it from an installed ROM.
So I would like to:
1. Extract the boot.img
2. Then flash it through ODIN to my custom ROM (Jedi Master 14)
Thanks in advance and please help me :crying:
Why would you do that?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I don't know how you going to use boot.img to fix your problem. But the .md5 rom files are just zipped files. unzip and you will find the boot.img file. Are you sure that this will fix your problem?
Are you trying to change your boot image?
Use a tar archive program (7-Zip, Winzip, Winrar, PKZip, this format is pretty universal) to extract what you need from the official Samsung ROM images. (Check out sammobile.com if you haven't already, you will need to register.)
You might get some error message about the end of the archive, that's normal and due to the presence of the MD5 hash at the end of the file, which most programs will be able to work around nonetheless.
Repack the relevant file with a *nix tar binary, or under Cygwin on a Windows machine. (YMMV, but those are the two only ways I've managed to have the files work with Odin.)
Reboot phone to download mode and flash with Odin as usual.
Done.
Thanks a lot. Thats exactly what I am looking for.

Totally lost. Try to download marshmallow tar and update. But I download, open heimdall and use browse for file. But it is not valid to open and put in cue. I don't know what to do. Is it a different file for Apple. Mac socks by the way. I have no other choice.

Tried again. Just fails to load pit file. Doesn't recognize tar file. Can't even choose file. Tried jodin, can't download. Tried smart switch but apparently sprint doesn't allow that either

You have to extract the tar file. What you actually flash is the file with an extension of .MD5.
As the title asks, where can I find the stock ROM for the N7100XXUFND3?
I've tried various sites, but it is hard to find anything that can actually be downloaded. I did find this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-/GT-N7100/XEF/download/N7100XXUFND3/28780/ but it cannot be installed, with the error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.".
Did you follow the instructions on the site how to install the firmware? You have to flash it through Odin (which will wipe your device) not a custom recovery like TWRP.

Thanks for that, don't know how I missed it.
However, when I try to use Heimdall I get: "heimdall packages shouldn't contain links or directories".
However, there are no "links or directories" in the archive.
I extracted the archive manually and attempted to create one which only contains the .img files, tar -cvzf stock_rom.tar.gz *.img.
This gives me that "firmware.xml is missing from the package".

Why so much effort?
use Odin to flash it directly...
