[Q] How to extract firmware package via Kies Firmware Update

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?

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

[Q] Extract modem file from Stock Firmware

Can someone help extract a modem file from a Stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile ? or put for download the I9195UBUCNH3 modem file (zip or odin) is the last one for my country by mistake a replace it from another country and now my battery is going really fast.
i try some tutorial with cygwin, but no lucky.
thanks

Use the attached zip. U need windows pc for this. Place your firmware tar.md5 file in the extracted directory and open the "" tar.md5_packager.bat "" file. Then choose option to extract that tar.md5 file. In the 'parts' folder u will get extracted firmware contents. The non-hlos.bin file is modem. Good luck.

pedromms86: Hi guy, could you extract the modem file?
Please post it because I need it.

Open the .tar.md5 official rom file with WinRAR and extract NON-HLOS.bin. Flash that file with Odin 3.07 as modem.

How can this be done with Heimdall? If so, do I use:
Code:
heimdall flash --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin
or
Code:
heimdall flash --MDM NON-HLOS.bin

Need help finding .tar or .md5 file to flash back to stock.

Hello all, I need some help finding the .tar or the .md5 file from the stock ROM zip file (Tab Pro 8.4).
I am trying to flash / revert back to stock ROM and recovery, since I am giving this tablet to my nephew. I've downloaded the official firmware directly from Samsung, I've downloaded Odin V3.07 and the samsung drivers are installed on my laptop. I've used Odin before, to flash files (months ago), but where I'm getting stuck is on Odin when I go to select the .tar or the .md5 file form the zip, I can't locate the files. I've extracted them several times using different methods, but not a single time have I been able to extract a .tar or .md5 file, all I get is: META-INF folder, system folder and boot disk image, no .tar or .md5 file anywhere in the folders either.
Am I an idiot here or what am I doing wrong that I don't get the .tar or .md5 file?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

PS: i have a german device thats why the DBT code...please download yours...

I am downloading it one more time from sam mobile just to make sure. How did you extract the zip (what program)? 7zip, winrar, etc?

i think i know whats going on. i use winrar for windows you probably use something else. inside .zip there is a .md5 file but inside .md5 file there are meta folders etc. some software consider it being an archive inside an archive and it doesn't even bother to tell you that probably it's extracting folders directly...

use 7 zip, there should be a .tar.md5 in the .zip only extract the .tar.md5. dont extract anything from the tar.md5. just select the tar.md5 in odin after you put your device in download mode

Note 2 firmware question

So I downloaded stock firmware for my Note 2 N7105 but it came in a zip file and in the zip file there are 6 files:
AP_N7105XXUFNJ1_2427420_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
BL_N7105XXUFNJ1_2427420_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_N7105XXUFNJ1_2427420_REV04_cl1251791.tar.md5
CSC_OLB_N7105XXUFNJ1_2427420_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Free Samsung Support.url
T0LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
I see the first 4 files are the 4 different options in Odin. So do I flash each of the 4 files through their respective options? if not what do I do?
Thanks

If you downloaded the file from sammobile.com, unzip it once to yield a tar.md5 file which you flash in the ap/pda slot.
